Yeah, this is a weird venue to announce this.

(and April 1st is probably not the best date. I promise it’s not a joke.)

My husband, ComeOnDieYoung, died in the hospital a week ago today, Wednesday, March 25th. The diary name was never supposed to be this appropriate.

I don’t know if anyone reads this who knows him and doesn’t know now, but yeah.

Saw you on the front page. I’m so sorry for your loss.

April 1, 2009

i’m so sorry darling

April 1, 2009

🙁

April 1, 2009

… seriously??? i’m sorry.

April 1, 2009

I’m very sorry. I haven’t known you for very long, but… I am deeply sorry.

April 1, 2009

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you and your loved ones. OD will never be the same without CODY… please accept my deepest condolences.

April 1, 2009

I’m speechless. My deepest condolences.

April 1, 2009

i’m so sorry to hear this…it breaks my heart

April 1, 2009

I’m sorry 🙁

April 1, 2009

Oh bloody hell. I’m so, so sorry. He will be sorely missed.

April 1, 2009

I saw Pherific’s note. I always appreciated CODY, I didn’t know him well but I always appreciated the notes he left me and his entries. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

April 2, 2009

ryn: I know. And I know he tried hard. Like he’d ever have been willing to leave you voluntarily. Or leave a world where shiny new music and awesome video games are waiting for him, and politics to be argued about, and everything. I just…had to shout at something, since Death isn’t available for me to beat the crap out of. I’d do it if I could. And oh darling, I’m so sorry I haven’t beenable to help you through all this. I’ve been wanting to be more in touch with you both for ages and kept letting time slip by. If there’s anything I can do. Anything. Hell, if you want to just be somewhere else for a while and can find a way out here we’ve got a spare bed and know how to cook…

April 2, 2009

So sorry sweetheart. Nothing to say to make it better, but, thinking of you. x

April 2, 2009

Condolences from the Notliberal’s. May the light of Jesus Christ shine on you and may He be with you as you mourn your loss.

April 2, 2009

So sorry for your loss. my thoughts are with you.

April 2, 2009

I knew him only as a note on other’s diaries, but still, I am sorry for your loss.

I heard about this last night. I’m so sorry

April 2, 2009

My thoughts are with you.

April 2, 2009

I’m so so sorry to hear this. He was a good man. My thoughts will be with you and your family at this time.

I am deep;y sorry for your loss. He was a favorite of mine and I will miss him.

YAH
April 2, 2009

My condolences for your loss. I hope you have a lot of great memories together that you can look back on. All the best.

April 3, 2009

I didn’t know him but we had several readers in common. I really hope you and yours are doing okay, and even though you don’t know me, if you need an ear or anything….I’m here. I’m sorry for your loss.

April 3, 2009

I wasn’t close, but read him often and enjoyed his notes to others. What sad news .. may the wonderful memories you have be some comfort, though I know htis is an awfully hard time to get through.

April 3, 2009

So sorry to read about your husband. Thanks for letting us know.

April 4, 2009

I read it somewhere else (On a less than serious diary) and wasn’t sure if I should take it seriously. I’m so sorry for your loss. Know that we’re all thinking of you.

April 4, 2009

You don’t know me, I don’t know you and I didn’t know him. Though having read on a friends entry that CODY had passed I wanted to come and pay my respects and wish you my condolences. Loss is never easy and love is never lost.

I am so sorry for your loss. =;(

April 7, 2009

ryn: Natalie said that, about patients and doctors. and no, I had no idea this many people read your diary either… I know, it all seems so strange. everything.

April 8, 2009

I am sorry I read via a friend.

April 8, 2009

RYN: I clearly need an instruction manual to navigate the perilous waters of girlworld. 🙂 THANK YOU. Will do that!

April 9, 2009

I’m sorry. I liked him, and you too.

April 22, 2009

Please accept my condolences. Although your husband and I were not friends we did have several exchanges via notes and I appreciated his humor.

April 22, 2009

ryn: Yes, yes, yes. We’d love to have you visit. I think grief might have some of everything. This sentence might make more sense if I were awake.

April 29, 2009

ryn: It is a concerted effort, not just for your benefit though, for everyone’s benefit, mine too, if I act like I’m alright for long enough I WILL be alright, that kind of reasoning. I just can’t do it 24/7. I think I go bad (or he turns up) when I’m tired or not busy enough – those are really hard to balance.

April 29, 2009

If I ran marathons and slept I’d be ok. maybe.

May 4, 2009

ryn: bah, every single response I can think of to that is so selfloathing you will just shout at me.

May 18, 2009

I’m alright. I don’t know. I’m so fcking moody. I’m sorry. I want to reply to your email but I’m just talking shite and now I feel guilty for not working! are you ok…

May 23, 2009

i just saw this. i am so VERY sorry. so very sorry.

June 8, 2009

Er yeah. I have to start shutting down and unplugging the computer before I go to the pub.

June 16, 2009

ryn: I thought we were on my sexual neuroses! So it’s all about me whichever way you look at it! It’s not so much the kids it’s the parents. Though I am completely irrationally convinced I can ruin kids’ entire lives by as much as looking at them, I think I’ve read too fcking many threatening comments about all abusers being abused or summat…

June 16, 2009

ryns: aye well you’re right, most kid illnesses are asthma and pneumonia and stuff. The wards are kind of empty right now, in the summer…. and yeah synethesia is a good one, everything that jumps to my mind with that question is a massive list of medical problems with me, which is basically the LAST thing I want to get into with anyone!

June 26, 2009

Yeah it wasn’t the best analogy, I was writing in a hurry. Aside from the fact I feel like a constant fraud and that it’s best not to tempt fate by mentioning I’m a medical student too much, I actually kind of thought people would switch off if I started talking about my course (I usually do when they talk about theirs).

June 26, 2009

Pyromaniacs + firemen? I should be doing summat more interesting with my Friday night than working and being grumpy that Kira can’t come down see me, shouldn’t I. Good luck with that wedding x

June 29, 2009

It’s good to know, that I can talk to you, though I’m not comfortable doing so really. Well sometimes. But thank you. John gets really scared and freaked out and thinks I am unmendable forever, and Kira gets angry and upset, so I have to keep it quiet, when I can. It is a bit crap and lonely, sometimes.
