Hey guys,

This is the first day I have felt positive at all since this happened.  But now I am ready to
take what Heath has given me and go out into the world with it. I want to be a better person and a more
courageous artist.  He has given so much and I want to spin that into something positive.  I feel it now.

I haven't been able to watch any of those certainly beautiful tribute videos that people have made for Heath, at the moment they are just too much for me to bear. But tonight I watched Daniel Day-Lewis's tribute for Heath in SAG and yes indeed those were beautiful words! I have always admired DDL, now I just admire him even more and I thank him for that beautiful gesture of dedicating the award for Heath.

Thank you all for the forums dedicated to Heath, allowing us a place to bare our souls, and post our grief. including the beautiful memorials on his doorsteps in Soho and Brooklyn. Hope he is smiling down on all of this and knowing how much he was loved by so many.

Ethan,thanks so,so much for this beautiful video that's what Heath deserves.The music united with the images-specially one of the last,in which he seems to be already in Heaven with an intense light-are make with the heart and the deep love we all have for Heath. <^(  And thank you again for everything you've done in our name to homage him...Really,if we met this summer,I won't know what to do to correspond to all this affection and feeling; and I'm not speaking in terms of money,gifts or all this,but in terms of FEELINGS.I really won't know because everything is less for you. :ghug:

Ethan that was absolutely beautiful.   I cried all over again.   What piece of music was playing at the beginning? 

And do you have way I can DL it (not that music but the BBm music that was played during the trailer.  I have always wanted a copy of it.  I have the music from the movie but not that piece)

Heath I swear! 

Aren't we at the stage these days when it just doesn't ... matter? It's a story of love and it's a story between two people. If people can't get over that and just accept it as a story, then that's their problem. I'm big enough and brave enough to do it. - Heath Ledger on doing BBM

Oh Ethan….You’ve just broke my heart. Thank you so much for this awesome treasure, utterly beautiful and sad. Oh my…..I can’t cry hard enough…..  :\'(  :\'(  :\'(

And now what a so fine man DDL is!!! I was really stunned watching him so moved in Oprah show. He was all devastated, saying so sweet things about Heath. And then, today, I've watched his tribute on SAG awards and, oh Jesus, I was so touching, crying so much that I couldn't see DDL’s face on the screen. His words were so gorgeous, delicate, so true and precious. I was so overwhelmed and totally sad watching him almost crying, so hurting, struggling with his emotions. He was so in love with Heath's work and he was proud of that. He’s a real gentleman.
I wanted to kiss that wonderful man; I wanted to shout at him Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. He is brave, a very sensitive, honest and amazing human being, and a truly free spirit like Heath was. In fact I could see Heath when I was looking at DDL, the feeling so intense and breathtaking. I cry every time I think about it. I'll treasure DDL words in my heart for the rest of my live. I think I owe him some huge thing for this marvellous gift he gave us. He, like all of us, didn't know Heath, and still he loved him like we all do; so I was a real wreck hearing his broken voice and thinking about we all are not the only crazy brokies, 'cause the impressive genius DDL was a real brokie too: In “Brokeback Mountain,” he was unique, he was perfect. And that scene in the trailer at the end of the film is as moving as anything that I think I’ve ever seen. That was extremely heartbreaking.  :\'(  :\'(  :\'(
What a generous soul. I’m beyond touched. I only can think about all the marvellous things that Heath could have done if he were still alive, like meet DDL. I bet they had been great friends....

Eating, sleeping, working, talking and walking, just LIVING, seems to me like a so impossible thing to do these days. Sometimes I try to make things right, I try to work hard and to take care of my family; and when I think that I’m doing it almost OK, then suddenly Heath’s face just hit my thoughts hard, and I feel my heart punched and as if I’m going to vomit, and then once again… goodbye to work, to take care of the ones I love, to eat or to act like a normal person; just goodbye to be a simply human being and not a ghost with huge purple bags under the eyes.

I’m doing everything wrong…with my family and friends (my Babe, I’m so sorry....so sorry…), but I just don’t know what to do but cry. I’m really fighting against this pain with all my strength (any strength was left after Heath’s death?) but everyday I feel more weak and confused, and the sadness seems hugger and Heath’s eyes sweeter. **sigh** I need to breathe. I’m looking for a reason for this bitterness deep inside of me, trying to find a way out of this dark labyrinth that I am. How can I be so shattered? That scares the hell out of me.  :-\\  :-\\

I just want an answer, and a solution to cure this illness: To be in love with those dreams that Heath made me dream, with the true love that Heath brought into my life through Ennis Del Mar and I didn’t know that it could exist.

Just give me a f**ing reason and I’ll try to believe that I have to be happy again one day.

Oh my sweet Baby, I can’t believe you’re gone. Damn.  :\'(  :\'(  :\'(

It's a wonderful, touching tribute. Beautiful.

While you you were uploading that and I was away from the forum, I made another short tribute video, using quotes - not from members as you did - but from Heath's peers:

Large was his bounty, and his soul sincere,
Heaven did a recompense as largely send:
He gave to Misery (all he had) a tear,
He gained from Heaven ('twas all he wished) a friend.

"Isn't Life Strange" ... by The Moody Blues



Isn't life strange
A turn of the page
Can read like before
Can we ask for more?
Each day passes by
How hard man will try?
The sea will not wait

You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -
Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were, and here we are.

Isn't love strange
A word we arrange
With no thought or care
Maker of despair
Each breath that we breathe
With love we must weave
To make us as one
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -

Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were, and here we are.

Isn't life strange
A turn of the page
A book without light
Unless with love we write;
To throw it away
To lose just a day
The quicksand of time
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -

Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were:

I think this may make me insane, but everytime I am feeling ok, normal, not devastated, I watch tribute videos and read tribute articles to remind me that it's not ok and I should be devastated.  I don't want to just get on with it.  I want to remember him.  I want my heart to ache for him even though it is killing me.  Am I nuts?  Is anyone else feeling this or is everyone else so devastated that they do not have these moments where they feel ok?

Hmm, I hadn't really thought about it like that, but I suppose what I'm doing is fairly similar. I've been watching tribute videos too(although I've found I'm very picky about which ones - I watch the same group over and over ::) ). And I know that I'm still very much in the denial stage in my heart, even though my head knows it's true. So maybe it amounts to the same thing. Either way, I don't think we're crazy, just mourning and processing at our own pace. We'll all recover when we're ready to and not a moment sooner. :ghug:

Remember - Josh Groban


Remember, I will still be here
As long as you hold me, in your memory
Remember me

Remember, when your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
Just remember me

I am the one star that keeps burning, so brightly,
It is the last light, to fade into the rising sun

I'm with you
Whenever you tell, my story
For I am all I've done

Remember, I will still be here
As long as you hold me, in your memory
Remember me


I am that one voice in the cold wind, that whispers
And if you listen, you'll hear me call across the sky

As long as I still can reach out, and touch you
Then I will never die

Remember, I'll never leave you
If you will only
Remember me

(Remember me...)

Remember, I will still be here
As long as you hold me
In your memory

Remember, when your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
I live forever
Remember me

Remember me
Remember... me...
