DUer 'onestepforward' has passed away.
I'm Terri onestepforward's husband Gabriel Marquez and I wanted to let her DU family know she committed suicide last Thursday and I am utterly devastated. She made DU a daily part of her life and she learned so much and made such wonderful connections here over the past few years. She appreciated how important and wonderful this place really is and it was very special to her. It's hard for me to breathe right now but I did want to let her DU family know she LOVED all of you so, so much and I wanted to to convey my appreciation to you for all you gave her. You all meant so much to her. Thank you.
Here's a link to her final DU post http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018614115 Once again, Thank you.

I'm also going through a tough period in my life and overdosed. She contacted me via DUmail at the end of last month and we exchanged a couple of messages that provided encouragement to me. She regularly posted on some of my OPs and I admired her as a kindred spirit.
I'm not very far away from your location and would be interested to attend a memorial service for her if any are being held. Please accept my deepest condolences and pass it along to her family also. I will miss seeing her posts on DU.
I am going to cross-post this in the Texas Group since she was an active participant in that group so that others will see it. |

My oldest sons' dad did this as well. I spent a lot of years feeling guilty, thinking I could have done something. His own dad - who found him - helped me come to terms with that guilt. It's funny, I was just talking about her firefly thread a few hours ago. My daughter called today and was talking about friends from California being amazed by fireflies. I was telling my daughter about onestepforward's thread and how cool it was, and how from that thread I learned there aren't fireflies everywhere in the US. I could SEE the images she posted so clearly in my head as I was describing them to her. Then I click on that link to her last post and....just.......wow. Thank you for telling us about this horrible loss. Please reach out to DU if and when you need someone to lean on. DU is a very supportive place. We have lost a dear one. I can see that in her eyes.
RIP Terri Lea... May you find peace

I saw the thread she posted about the fireflies and just loved it!
Such magical photos. While I didn't know Terri, I am so saddened to know that she was dealing with so much pain that she could only find one way to make it stop. It must be just utterly devastating for you. Please come here to DU to share your grief. Sending cyberhugs. |

for sharing her story and yours. So sorry to hear. Glad that DU meant something important to Terri. We all need connections and affinity groups can be found.
It's obvious how much you cared AVA. We feel your grief and shock. Sometimes we don't have loved ones as long as we imagine we will and there's no fault or blame. This is the condition of life as we know it. It is fragile and fleeting. Beautiful and magical, and harsh as jagged rocks. But now she flies with the fireflies in limitless freedom and joy. May you find peace and wisdom through this. Love is all, marion |

i think a lot of women depressives love so hard it is like an undertow.
and tho this was perhaps a preventable tragedy, that doesnt mean that the tools were in the right hands at the right time with just the right thing to say. nobody knows what that would have been for her. to you and yours. she was a lovely woman. embrace your broken heart. it is the only one you have.

223. I didn't personally know her or you, but I am so very sorry....
|
So sorry she was hurting, whatever the reason, and so sorry for the pain you are enduring now. I wish I could give you a hug for real.
((((((((((HUGS)))))))))) I wish there were something I could say that could help, but I know it's impossible. I hope that knowing so many people care is at least some small comfort to you. |

I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear this. I'm so sorry! Thank you for posting this so we know. After awhile when one doesn't see a post from them, one does start wondering. I'm so sorry. Be at peace, at last, Terri Lea. And Gabriel - you have all our prayers and sympathies. You do not mourn alone.

There are many words of wisdom and comfort on this thread, most much more eloquent than anything I can add. I know that you are experiencing enormous, unimaginable pain. Please don't blame yourself. It's good that you are sharing your pain, and I hope that you find peace.
