Found out today my friend who died did in fact commit suicide but extreme drug use was an underlying factor.Dont, think it makes it easier or harder just emphasises the immense sadness. She was only 25 but had royal accolades for her work which I remembered over the last few days.I also have had a close friend (aged 27) confess to me yet again that she is suicidal and she has given me instructions for what to do should the worst happen.Not a conversation I needed as selfish as awful as that sounds. Plus my mother keeps showing signs of suicidal intent. As someone with severe mental health issues, this is just exhausting me. Not looking for sympathy on here but just need to get it off my chest as it is just horrendous. I am under a lot of personal stress in terms of starting a new job and looking for a new house and all of this is really getting to me. Just so much darkness at once on top of existing stress.Am getting drunk tonight as well although I will pay for it in the morning it seems logical right now.

Its criminal quite frankly keep fighting.

So sorry to hear of your loss Lafaucheuse.Definitely report the home for not giving morphine to him though.To let someone die in agony and distress when there are drugs available to help is ethically indefensible on their part.Shocking lack of the basic principles of palliative care.So sorry you as a family and he had to endure that. Indefensible neglect on the part of the home.

If she was my family member I would disown her.There is a limit.

I think anyone convicted of that would be a risk.

Just says they are hopeful.

Well yeah at 96 and nearly 99 and both in poor health that is just an observable fact.

Other Funeral plans are available.

22nd August

Remember Larry King?He was pretty much the British equivalent.

Didn't he shag one of the Miss World contestants?A friend was saying that was Parky but could have sworn it was Aspel.

Are you American?

Maybe Peter Falk is writing them.

Bardot is a good call for next year if she doesn't go before.I would not put Sophia on next year's list unless there is any indication of illness or sudden deterioration.I think in terms big Hollywood stars there are better choices such as Gene Hackman , Clint Easrwood and Tippi Hedren.All a few years older than Loren and are now looking noticeably older and frailer recently.

I wonder if at the pearly gates he gets a free parker pen just for enquiring?

Not family but had some awful news yesterday evening.An old schoolfriend of mine died suddenly.I shouldn't be sad about it as we hadn't talked in 5 years in fact I went back to check on messenger and then read back all the messages going back many years which was a big mistake.She made a post a few weeks ago about feeling lonely and I was really busy but thought "oh yes I must get in touch with her it's been years.She was 25 and looks like a suicide and or possible drug overdose buy don't have all the details.She was 25 so younger than me but I remember we both exchanged phone numbers as you did in school in those days as everyone texted everyone in our school which was small and rural and we both struggled with mental health issues I remember vividly and were sort of a supportive voice for each other and had sort of an online pen pal communication for years after school. We weren't in the same social circle or have any big memories but just reading through the messages brought back a flood of memories some of which I had forgotten. I am used to death and have experienced loss but this genuinely felt like a gut punch.We weren't even good friends by any stretch of the imagination hadn't seen her in years but damn this one really hurts. Guess it is the age and unexpected nature of it plus the emotional connection going back to childhood but yeah I'm surprised how much this one has upset me.

Thimmakka. As I said on the immortals thread I can`t see her surviving a spinal fracture at her age (whatever it actually is). Edit:Several spinal fractures

Spinal injuries tend to be the end for elderly patients.

Yeah it's been removed now

Even the obituary is creepy where it is mention she was "cared for" by Chris.

Yeah if you know you know.I didn't know who he was until I saw a documentary a few months ago.I already gave the biggest spoiler but even with that you aren't prepared.
