Peace, light, and healing to JLG and all affected. May there be healing of all the ripple effects.
I've had my own struggles with depression, and one long-ago suicide attempt. (I'm very ok now, folks.) When you're down in that pit, especially if it's due to a chemical imbalance, you can only see darkness and pain--and no end to it.
JLG and I had a few conversations, here and there. We had some spiritual questing in common.
May Erin and the other Shipmates-in-Glory welcome you home, JLG.

This. Thanks QLib. Personally, I was lost for words and thoughts. Strange to feel such sorrow for a person who I only met virtually. Echoes of Erin there. I liked very much what I met.
Joan Baez helped a lot.
The news caught me at a vulnerable time. Our three year old grandson (visiting for Christmas) woke up early, disorientated and a little distressed, and before his parents were awake. So he joined my wife and me, snuggled down with us in our bed, and we sang lullabies to him. A lovely and poignant reminder of times gone by when we were young. My wife and I both got happy-sad tears.
They left yesterday morning and we were sad to see them go - they live a long way away. After a tidy up, I logged on and got the shocking news. Didn't know where to put myself.
RIP, jlg. For us who are left, who knew you somehow and felt a connection, it is a time to mourn.

Being a somewhat recent addition to the ship I never met jlg IRL or through IM, but there are always posters who strike your interest from the start as they are intelligent and/or witty and I always read her posts. May she find peace in death that failed her in life. ![[Votive]](graemlins/votive.gif)

How dreadfully sad. I didn't know jlg but I too have experienced depression and suicide attempts (long ago in the past) and my thoughts and prayers are for Jennifer and her family.
May jlg rest in peace .

Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice. Let Your ears be attentive to my voice in supplication. If You, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand? But with You is forgiveness, that You may be revered. I trust in the Lord; my soul trusts in His word. My soul waits for the Lord more than sentinels wait for the dawn. More than sentinels wait for the dawn, let Israel wait for the Lord, For with the Lord is kindness and with Him is plenteous redemption; And He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.

Yes it was an awful answer But I'm sure I wasn't the only one who noticed her absence before this news broke. I hope she knows (now if not then) that she was missed.

I am stunned, and grieved. She was always funny, and wise, and kind.
I remember her from New Mexico/Colorado, and more from the Mardi Gras meet and going with her godparents to the parade, and most from the Great Southern Tour when she spent the night at my house. Mostly sitting up talking.
I hate that it went so black for her she couldn't see any other way. You are in light now, Jen. And may those left behind find healing, and come to remember her without anger or hurt or guilt.
