I can't believe it either... his death is so unnecessary... I'm sure it was an accident. Why should he have killed himself?
When Brad Renfro died last week it wasn't so shocking, 'cause everyone knew he had drug problems, but Heath...? He was such a great actor and person... R.I.P. Heath!
My twinsister found these amazing poems on a website while trying to cheer up a friend of her's who's suffered yet another loss in his family, and I thought they were amazing as well, so I wanted to share them with all of you on this Heath Ledger-thread! :
When I die if you need to weep
Cry for your brother or sister
Walking the street beside you
And when you need me put your arms around anyone
And give them what you need to give me.
I want to leave you something
Something better than words or sounds.
Look for me in the people I've known or loved
And if you cannot give me away
At least let me live in your eyes and not on your mind.
You can love me most by letting hands touch hands
By letting bodies touch bodies
And by letting go of children that need to be free.
Love doesn't die, people do
So when all that's left of me is love
Give me away.
(Poem by Merritt Malloy)

Don't be dismayed at good-byes.
A farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes,
is certain for those who are friends.
(Poem by Richard Bach)

"I wanted a perfect ending...
Now, I've learned the hard way that some poems
don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear
beginning, middle and end.
Life is about not knowing,
having to change, taking the moment and
making the best of it,
without knowing what's going to happen next.
Delicious ambiguity."
(/Gilda Radner)

~ "Compassion is the currency that leads to true wealth"~ / Jim Carrey
this is one that really touches my heart......it is by ANON.....
I did not die
Do not stand on my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in the snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am a gentle Autumns rain
When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
I am the birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
So do not stand on my grave and cry
I am not there.... I did not die
He mixed like 6 different drugs . They gave the report here in Puerto Rico . So sad . Maybe if he had someone to talk to that day this would have never happened . Lonelyness does kill . -
