Feeling very sad thinking about a poster on here

I hope some people will recognise who I'm talking about, unfortunately I can't remember the username she used.

She seemed like a really lovely woman, who was leaving an awfully abusive relationship and also suffering with MH problems.

I saw an update a few months ago that she had very sadly died - I think the world had just gotten too much for her.

Occasionally I think of her, and I wonder about her DCs and her family and I just feel so sad for her, and for any others in similar situations.

I'm not sure why I'm posting really, I suppose I wondered if she pops into anyone else's mind from time to time as well.

I don't know who you're talking about, but that's so very, very sad.

There's one particular poster who has disappeared and her absence is causing me some concern. I'd dearly like to see an update to tell us all is well.

I remember her! I think the last we heard, her sister was taking the two children in and would raise them with her own. Haven't heard a bit for quite a while.... I hope her sister is a loving mum. Some people really do get such a rough life.

yes Jane, I remember her well. She was the first, and only person on MN I got really invested in, and when I heard she had gone, it was a real life type shock.
She came across a lovely person, thankfully, now at peace with herself.

Happy.

I know who you mean and I think of her too. Her poor little girls went through so much too. I hope that they have some stability now and what whitsernam says, that their aunt can be a loving mum.

Oh no, I do nt remember a death but there's someone I haventseen for a while and now I'm wondering if it's her!! I so hope not

Justusemyname · 06/04/2015 19:26

I still think of a poster I gave a lot of time too. Someone sent me a PM to say she had gone back to her abusive husband. I think that's why she doesn't post anymore or doesn't post under that name. No one would say I told you so, if it went bad, or why have you gone back, but to just disappear is a little selfish in some ways as people who cared are left worrying.

Justusemyname · 06/04/2015 19:30

I'm annoyed at myself now as my post isn't nice. I just meant people really care whe posters need support and it can be hard for the carers when posters vanish.

JaneFonda · 06/04/2015 19:46

Justuse - I don't think your post wasn't nice - I understand what you mean, but I suppose that's the risk anyone takes when posting online really.

I suppose some posts will affect us more than others, and people may not realise that they have lots of support and that people really care about how they're doing, so won't think to return and update.

Thanks Flowers.

Goodness, how incredibly sad. Perhaps I've not been here long enough to have known her. Bless her and her loved ones x

JaneFonda · 06/04/2015 21:32

whits - Sorry, I hadn't seen your reply - that's lovely to know that her sister would be looking after them, I do hope things are going as well as they can be.

That is awfully sad. I hope she is now at peace and her children are being well cared for. I'm not aware of any poster who has died so I'm not familiar with who you are referring to but it is clearly a very upsetting set of circumstances.

There is a poster on here who used to post regularly but she was having a very tough time and posted a thread in chat to say she was going to be off the site for a while. She sounded really low and I hoped she was okay. She hasn't come back to the site under the username that she was using then and I did PM and it came back that they were unable to deliver the PM.

She seemed really lovely, but quite distressed and I do hope she is okay. x

I remember that poor lady jane I didn't know she had died although it seemed very bleak the last I read. That is so very Sad.

Joyfulldeathsquad · 06/04/2015 21:51

iloverunning36 · 06/04/2015 22:03

I think her name was something like happylandspace?? I also feel very sad for her wasted life and what will become of her children. Sad

FranTan · 06/04/2015 22:12

I was thinking about Happy just last night and wondering how she is. The last I heard was from her sister who requested all threads to be deleted. She has died? So tragically sad; bless her children. Sad
