I wish I knew her, she seemed like a beautiful person. May you rest in peace Bluewidow.
Her stories are scattered across this board, they're well worth reading and should encourage all of us to share our own before we too leave here in some way.
@BlueWidow was one of the first people I took notice of when lurking on here. I liked her comments and could immediately relate because we suffered from the same disorder, and it makes you feel like shit. Ultimately, the medications helped me, but they never did for her. We didn't interact though until early January when she made a tribute thread to all the people we had lost in the weeks before. It was a difficult time and she expressed what a lot of us felt. She also made a thread about her experiences with pets. The first story was quite funny, it was about a poor dog pestered to death by a hog, which thought of itself a dog too because they grew up together. Couldn't keep my foot in my mouth and made a joke. The stories kept coming though and were in fact quite horrific. I took it down, it seemed inappropriate, BW had quoted it though and laughed.
This is how I'll remember her, as someone who cared for others, who had some terrible experiences during her life, but ultimately never let them get the better of her and could laugh right to the end. I picture her now running towards her husband with the sun and a big smile on her face exclaiming "free at last!", "free at last!", leaving her SIL, the hog, in the shroud behind. Not sure if to laugh or cry, but really I'm thinking - good for her.
