I know.

So sad for whatever onestepforward could not bear any longer and for your loss.

RIP Terri.

What a tragedy. My thoughts are with you and the rest of her family and friends.

Peace and strength to you and yours.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Peace be with you.

And if there is anything I can do, even if it is just moral support, do not hesitate to call for it. I am sure most people will not hesitate.

I even sent the link to others.

My wife passed away unexpectedly a little over 5 years ago. Please let us know how you are doing.

R.I.P. Terri.

to you and your family for this terrible loss. Please let us know if there is any way in which we can help ease your pain, even if just a little.

You can see what she recommended and what she stood for....
I will miss her. RIP

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.

in knowing that love never dies. It lives within us forever for as long as we give it residence.

What a terrible tragedy and a shock. Please be well. There is so little I can say but as a member of this community and the planet I wish you comfort, strength and the peace to move forward. Look to those fireflies.. follow the beauty of that moment.

No words can help. Her last post was passed to my wife, and she saved all the images and now are her wallpaper for both her work and private machines.

Again sorry for your loss.
Peace

I know your pain is almost too much to bear right now, so keep reaching out when you can.

As someone else said, please be kind to yourself. You're what we, here, have left of Terri.

{{{HUGS}}}

I'm so sorry for yr loss, Gabriel...

She loved you and us but the hellish illness of depression overcame her. Remember, you shared many good times and that you gave her the greatest gift - extended happiness.

to DU, where solace is freely given to one's heartache.

I did not know Terri, but clearly she was special, and she will be missed.

I'm so sorry, so very sorry to hear.

Thank you for posting it here, as hard as that was to do.

Condolences, and please take care of yourself in this tough, tough time

Can't imagine what you are feeling or how you're coping; suicide is something that the people left behind often have tremendous difficulty resolving in their minds. It's just not well understood, and it is terribly painful for family and friends. I am so sorry for your loss.

I haven't seen fireflys since I moved to Texas.

It is a tragedy that her DU family was not able to help her in her time of distress. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family and friends.

... and may Terri rest in peace.

I didn't know her unfortunately. We seem to be having a lot of deaths on DU lately.

I know how she feels and have been there on the edge way too many times. It makes me sad to hear about her passing.

I hope someone will at the end of the year put together a photo montage of all the people we lost so we can be reminded. I always don't catch these types of notices and I'm sure many other's don't either unless they are here a lot.

Please stay in touch with us. I don't know what else to say. Maybe we can be of some comfort to you.

memories of better days will help to sustain you and bring you comfort during this sad time and in the days, weeks, and months ahead. Sending sincere condolences and wishing you strength and peace.

This breaks my heart. I am so sorry for you and your loss, and for the pain that dear "onestepforward" could not overcome. You both will be in my thoughts in the coming days.

I remember that post. So very sad and I am so sorry for your loss.
Peace to you.

RIP Terri

Peace to you, your husband and your ohana.

Sorry to see you go. A hui hou.

that someone could take her own life so suddenly and (seemingly) without warning.

Depression is an awful, awful thing. For some it's as deadly as cancer.

know about Terri. This must be so hard for you. She will be missed here on DU!
RIP Terri

RIP Teri Lea Gwin~Marquez

I liked the fireflies but I see she was also the one who posted the baby meerkats last month: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1018602980

I sent that link to a couple people.

Best to you as you try to cope with your loss.

I am so sorry to hear this news. I wish I had words that were helpful at times like these but I don't. I know this hurts like hell, and it is going to take awhile for that to ease. Keep your friends close. Know you will find lots of support here, too. Take care, bud.

Trav

Terri will be missed by all of us. R.I.P.

What a loss for all. I sincerely hope that your family finds strength and peace and understanding as you work forward through this incredibly difficult time. (and her final post was so beautiful too)

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.

{{{{AllenVanAllen}}}}

have help to ease the sadness of her loss. Please stay with us on DU - our family will miss Terri's posts and are here for you. Rest in peace Terri

She will be sorely missed but lovingly remembered.

My condolences to you. RIP Terri.

so hard for them to accept and live in this utterly imperfect place.

Thank you for letting us now and my sincerest condolences to you.

On the rare occasion that I am fortunate to see a firefly, I will be definitely think of Terri and be reminded that good souls do exist.

Surviving a spouse, is always hard and losing one to suicide is nearly unbearable. But there is very little one can do to protect these sensitive souls from the world that they cannot bear.

I think DU is a refuge for many perceptive and sensitive individuals. It is extremely unfortunate that even those of like mind and those closest to an individual can't always be enough to shelter one from the sometimes unbearable realities of this life.

Again, my sincerest condolences upon your (and our) great loss.

I will never see a firefly again without thinking of Terri. I hope that you find comfort in the memories she left behind.

for your loss.
May Terri RIP

Be sure to take care of yourself.

may you find the strength and healing to get you through this

for your loss, her husband's loss and that she took her own life. Extraordinarily sad.

My sincere condolences.

Please accept my condolences and warm thoughts.

And I remember that post, recommended it early on, thought it was beautiful, as was she. Words fail me, thank you for letting us know and my heart goes out to you...

Terri here, but the wish is no less sincere. Be sure to take good care of yourself . You are fragile and vulnerable right now.

P.S. Terri appears to be a wise soul. This life is but one step in a much greater journey and she has moved on.

I am truly sorry.

How good of you to think of us...Please take care of yourself, it must be so hard for you now.

Words just can't express how sorry I am. I hope you are surrounded with loving people who can support you in this terribly difficult time.

I am so, so sorry.

Thank you for letting us know. May peace come to your family in time. Godspeed Terri

...to carry on without her. I will send all the positive vibes I can muster your way.

So sorry for your loss.

There are no words

May you find peace.

May she be free from suffering. Peace and comfort to you and yours.

Keep breathing no matter how hard it is.

Sending wishes for peace for both you and Terri.

.

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

and may you, Gabriel, honor her by living with a joyous spirit. Thank you for your post.

My heart goes out to all who loved her.

I so sorry.

Please surround yourself with family and friends.

condolences from the rurallib family
