Stormson Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) As some of you may know, i have had a rather turbulent relationship for the past 3 years with my girlfriend Tabby, and I was offline for some time while I moved out and got my own place. i have actually been back online (sort of) but have been very quiet as I simply havent had much to say.... As of today, its been two weeks since we found her body, and Ive been having a really rough time with the whole situation.There has been rumors and speculations, and the (official) autopsy report STILL hasnt come back, but i have been very afraid that she may have killed herself. This makes four that have died on me through the years (I had been told through the grapevine that Wanda was dead at one time, but it turned out she was just very sick), and if Tabby killed herself that would make two suicides.Sheila Lynn was the other, but I dont think that counts as she had gone from being a bright, beautiful, God fearing young woman just starting collage to being totally schizophrenic in a very short time. I dont believe that was really HER who killed herself and I dont believe that God punishes the real person in such a case. Sadly however, if it turns out that Tabby killed herself, and really meant to, she can lay no such claim.Me and Tabby had a really rocky relationship, and she was like two different people at times, but the good part of her was one of the very best people this world has ever known. The world, as a whole, is simply something LESS then it was, without her.... Frankly, I cant understand HOW God would even wish to have a world that didnt include Tabby in it... Despite the on again off again nature of our relationship, I love her very deeply and I will miss her more then I can possibly say.Please pray for her. Pray that she didnt suicide and that if she did she not have to pay the ultimate price for it. The only word from the coroner so far is that her alcohol levels where "through the roof" and she was also on ALLOT of prescription meds. I like to think that if she really did kill herself that she didnt mean to...That she was expecting me to come charging in and save her... That it was an accidental suicide. Better yet, since i can never have my beloved Tabby back here on earth, I'd like to think it wasnt suicide at all and shes waiting for me in Heaven...Thats all i can write at the moment... And my net is very spotty at best... But I'll be back... Thanks guys. Edited October 31, 2011 by Stormson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_nick Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 There is an Epicurean quote addressing the second part of the Tetrapharmakos that always helps me when I lose someone I care about: "death is nothing to us. For all good and evil consists in sensation, but death is deprivation of sensation. And therefore a right understanding that death is nothing to us makes the mortality of life enjoyable, not because it adds to it an infinite span of time, but because it takes away the craving for immortality. For there is nothing terrible in life for the man who has truly comprehended that there is nothing terrible in not living. [Death] does not then concern either the living or the dead, since for the former it is not, and the latter are no more."Life hurts the living. Death hurts the living. Neither life nor death hurt the dead. Do those we love want to add another hurt to those we already have? I don't think so. It's okay to hurt and to mourn, but I think we have to remind ourselves that that pain isn't something our loved ones would want us to carry around. So, for what it is worth, I hope you feel better soon and grow stronger for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan56 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I wonder if Tabby suffered from bi-polar depression? You mentioned her being like 2 different people at times.Anyhow, her battle with life is over and hopefully she's in a peaceful place. Apple CEO Steve Jobs last wordswere; "Oh Wow, Oh Wow, Oh Wow". Sometimes I suspect people get a glimpse into the afterlife at the very end.My condolences and sympathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormson Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Thanks guys... Im still having a pretty hard time of course... But I'm making it.At this point im going through the whole "try not to think about it.. dont face it" thing... Which of course JUST doesnt work. Keeps popping up.. just out of no where ya know? Almost no rhyme nor reason to it... Watching TV and blam.. washing dishes and blam... walking across the floor and blam...Thinking about her. Its like being crushed by a ton of brinks.. Over and over and over again... Shakes head.I have been through this before and know the stages and what I'm facing and why... But this time just seems so much DIFFERENT somehow. Maybe because I was so directly responsible for her and I feel like I let her down... Maybe because of the intense emotional connections we had with one another, both good and bad... Maybe cos the end is so very, very near now and I wont be able to see it through with my beloved partner... I really dont know... But I know that my life is very much less then it was, and I know that the effect of her loss is very much a part of my every waking moment.. And probably will be for whatever time God forces me to stay here on our little blue rock in space.I cant understand why, since shes so very much a part of my waking life, I dont seem to dream of her? Seems I should be able to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark 45 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 grief manifests itself in different ways stormy.what your feeling is normal for you.i know this sounds cliche,but remember,it isn't how long we are here,it's what we do that is importent.you have touched more than one life and for that ,you'll be rembered.think of tabby in the same way,and if it's meant to be,you'll see each other again.somehow i hope this makes sense to you.

Stormson Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 It does Mark, and thank you...Tabby was one of the rare few. Some hated her... Most adored her... Some did both. But no matter what side of the fence you where on, no one EVER came away without being touched by her in some way... You simply could not meet the woman and NOT have some opinion,or be effected by her in some way...She will be missed greatly, and she will certainly be remembered by all who knew her...And that thought does indeed make me smile.

nestingwave Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Remembering in such a way that brings a smile proves that you are starting the process of healing. My heart goes out to you, child of the storm. Such tragedies in our lives are the times when we especially need the comfort of others. No one really knows what to say. All I can say is that I can relate to your sorrow and the reckoning and soul searching that such difficult events engender. You are loved, brother. Ever one of us here knows very well that we too could be confronted with such a gut wrenching tragedy and so we reach out just to... hold you...and appreciate your profound tears. Any and all differences between us are totally suspended and we mourn along with you and ask ourselves the same important questions that arise in you. In other words, as painful as this is to you---we all want to share in your burden and take just a small piece of it, just to show you that we care and to confirm to you that you are not alone.So----after the flood of tears, may peace and joy and humor become your healing!namaste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
