Truly horrific news. I just cannot fathom losing my sweetheart to such an unimaginable fate.
Typing these words, as a distant stranger, just seems utterly inadequate....
You MUST Be Strong, You MUST Carry On.
Honor her spirit and the memories of your life together, and continue along the path. I believe that is what she would want for you.
You CAN get through this. Be patient, and let Peace come to you.
Doug,
We've never met. I can't imagine what you're going through but if there's anything that an unknown friend can do....
Deepest condolences,
Nate
My good friend took his life six months ago. One day he was here the next he was gone. I'll never know the reason why he did it----but what I do know is now six months later everytime i think of him and all the shit we use to do a smile comes across my face. I miss him. Time will pass for you and smiles will replace the grief you now feel. Don't dwell on what has happened, you are not the only one that misses her, help the others that grieve for her as well. Remember her well.
Buckle up you got some living to do.
Doug, I also want to add my codolences and let you know my thoughts are with you. I know with the help of those here and around you, you'll find the strength to carry on.
"The pain is too strong, the hole in my heart is too big. Keep the faith. Keep the faith"
don't really know what to say except that I'm terribly sorry for your loss.

my sincere condolences...
This community was a support to me in a difficult time.
I'll add my voice to the collective in offering support to you.
Everything, I try and type is completely inadequate. I am at a loss.
Doug, I am sorry.
Britt, I am sorry.
:( :(
Doug, there are more than 15,600 hits on this thread and over 360 posts. although we never met, there are plenty of us out there and here to lean on and people who care about you. Stay strong during this difficult time. My thoughts are with you.

Damn I still am having a hard time fathoming the totally vivacious full of stoke and energy person I met could succumb to inner demons so powerfull as to give up the greatest posession we have.
Like pstash said work just wasn't cutting it today. So I skinned out, tears in my eyes, Macy Grays song The Letter and a certain Queen song stuck in my head. Damnining the addictive qualities of this place and thinking about just how frail and fragile life is, but most of all wondering why?
I sat on the peak for a while and decided maybe it's not for me/us to really know why. I placed a few flowers and made some turns in memory cause I didn't know what the fuck else to do.

From a lurker,
I hope and pray that you can hear and feel what all the people who love you are trying to tell you right now: You matter very much to a whole lotta people.
I also pray that, wherever she is, your wife can hear and feel all the love that you and everyone else in her life have for her, and that she can take all the joy that others felt in knowing her in this life on into the next.
she will always be your soulmate.
we're all here for you.
Hunter
Very sorry to hear about you loss Doug.

RIP Brittney, you will be missed by the Maggot Brother/Sisterhood.

Doug,
I just lost my grandfather last week (age 92). Something my grandma said stuck with me. She was married to him for 66 years, and is sleeping alone for the first time in that period. She said "It's very hard right now, but it can only get better, because it has to."
Thoughts and prayers for you.
Doug,
My sympathies to you, family, and friends about your loss. I remember Britney's cool avatar and will repost it to jog the memories of others here. Her posts were full of "!", you could feel her energy in them. It was educational for me to hear about other Maggs here who have suffered very similar losses and issues(I guess I'm a little ignorant about this). Thanks to those who have shared those stories of struggle and the photos of Britney. Take care and please post when you can. We'll be here to read them.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm so sorry to hear about this.
Jay
i'm incredibly sorry.
PLEASE hang in there. you're the one who knows dw best, as long as you live, she'll be remembered in the best possible way.
stay strong.
I only know you through this board, but would happily offer my left arm to turn back the clock.
Be assured that her spirit will live on; both in your heart and ours. Surround yourself with those you love, and share the joy of her life.
Peace.
Just read this--and like others have said, words fail me. Shmoe, you are in my thoughts today down here in mexico. I wish you peace.
AC, gimme a call sometime today if you can, if I don't answer, try again.
A photo in place for a loss of words.....................

I'm sick to my stomach reading this thread.
May time, and good friends, help to assuage your grief over this terrible loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
doug I only met you briefly and am truly sotry for your loss.:(
I am sure doug was, but let this be a reminder to be there for those who need us when they need us most.
I am so sorry for your loss.
++++++ vibes +++++++++
++++prayers++++
I'm so sorry doug... Stay strong.
My father killed himself 20 years ago when I was 18, I sucks, it is hard, but as others have said it will get better. Hang in, You deal with your battles, let others (the mother and lawyers) deal with theirs.
As soo many others have said if you find you need to talk to someone random, please write, call or PM me or anyone else.
and way to get the lurkers to post ;)
more thoughts and prayers.
My deepest condolenses to you and your family. I had a very good friend in high school take his own life. That was tough for me but nowhere near what you are going through I am sure. Stay strong.
This has struck me more than anything, and has given me words to try to understand the ragged storm you are weathering - All you can do is grieve, miss her, and suffer your loss. You have my deepest sympathies from this corner of Arizona. :(Quote:

I met Britney and Doug for the first time when they came up to Logan and stayed at my house earlier this year. We went on a little tour and had a great day. Britney had a great attitude, a bright personality, and I was glad to have spent the day in her company.

Hang in there Doug.
This is the saddest news that I can recall from this board. I'm very sorry for your loss. Hang in there, 'cause things can only get better. :(
I've read this thread many times in the past day. Each time I want to write something but I can never find the words to express my sadness. This time is no exception, but I just wanted to say I'm so sorry for your loss. Hang in there, you'll get through this.
