Old and former members

People frequently resurrect old threads which began with someone  who is no longer on the forum asking for help or saying how unhappy they are with their life. These are often years old.

I wonder how these people are. Did they get the help they needed from the forum and move on to better things. Did they give up. Are they alright. I hope so.

  • Sadly we have no way of knowing if these members are okay but I like to think they are busy and happy in life and that's why they haven't come back.

    I was pleased to see a member who was in a bad place a few years ago returned the other day. That in itself gives me hope that other members are ok and might return to the forum one day.

    I'm in touch with some who have moved on such as Tassimo, A=BCD and KatyChocolateLover. I've also been in touch with Goosey, who has been sectioned but she's hoping to be home next month she says. I've stayed in touch with some members who left but there are many who I knew who I have no idea how they are since they left. I hope they are all well.

    I did hear in late November that the lovely Trisha had passed away. Such upsetting news. She was such a bright girl. The forum definitely lost one of its brightest stars with her. May she rest in eternal peace along with Luna and Plastic.

  • That is devastating news. I had no idea and thank you, Bot, for letting us know. Trisha was kind enough to send me a friend request in April and would occasionally get in touch with the kindest of thoughts and best wishes, and would share the things that were lifting her spirits: she was really into Doctor Who and would tell me how much she loved the Davison era, which was her mum’s era and meant so very much to her. She was mature beyond her years and a beautiful soul despite life bringing many challenges. Like Luna she was full of light and love and innocent joy. And it’s awful to think k of her gone from this world. Her poor dad and family… 

  • Thank  you for letting us know.

    Absoutely awful news re Trisha.

    RIP Trisha.

    She was a lovely young woman and we conversed quite a lot by PM Cry

    I remember the challenges she was facing in her young life.

    Very sad to hear re Goosey too and I dearly hope she will be home soon and well.

    Maybe some of those lost to the forum will return one day.

    I hope so.

  • How awful. I hadn't heard of her for such a long time and was fearing the worst. Poor Trisha. Our loss is Heavens gain. May she rest in peace x

  • Thank you for this. I didn’t know about Trisha Worried.

    Hopefully Goosey will be back with us soon. I miss her honks.

  • Oh my. The little 16 year old girl? That's terrible. Rest In Peace.
