ATTENTION! ALL WHO KNOW DEMOLITION WOMAN.

**skibee** · 02-08-2007, 11:29 AM

Condolences, from someone who nearly lost their own soulkeeper earlier this year I cannot fathom the pain you are feeling. Continue to be the man she loved, keep her beautiful memory alive and share her spirit with many more passionate people in your future. Know you have the best, most sincere love from your friends that they can give and know that you will pull through, slowly, painfully and we shall all help as much as we can.

Hang in there Doug. Stay close to friends and family.

Sending some positive vibes from across the country.

So sorry to hear this. Hang in there, stay strong shmoe! Thoughts are with you and the family.

**PNWbrit** · 02-08-2007, 11:41 AM

Any of the maggot lawyers able to offer Doug some words of comfort over his concerns about problems with mother in law?

Obviously it should only be done outside of the board but I'm sure he'd appreciate the offer of help.

Stay strong Doug.

Doug:

What Brit said...if you have any legal questions, PM me. I'll offer what advice I can.

**Endlessseason** · 02-08-2007, 12:27 PM

May you indeed feel the love and support of the thousands of people whose thoughts are with you, Doug.

And may there also be found some strength and peace from the love and support of this community to Artz, PlayHarder's wife, and all the untold numbers of wonderful people who are suffering with depression.

...and SkiFishBum, you're awesome. Your thought and effort in making that picture tribute is truly touching.

**Buzzworthy** · 02-08-2007, 12:34 PM

Doug, you heard what I said to you yesterday and I mean it. You keep your friends and family around you. I have no idea what you are going through and I pray that your wounds will heal in time. One step at a time right now buddy.

Trying to read this. RIP Brit.

**Woodsy** · 02-08-2007, 12:37 PM

I heard about this yeterday having lunch with Karl Stall.
I have not much to add to some of the eloquence above, but all the best for you.
stay strong and celebrate her life.
This is a tragedy and like all tragedies there is no place for blame or second guessing.
big love.

**snowfire** · 02-08-2007, 12:47 PM

I know there's nothing anyone can say to make it better, but I just wanted to add my condolences. I lost one of my very best friends to suicide this past summer, and I still haven't completely gotten over it... doubt I ever will. I can still drive myself crazy if I think about it too much. It was bad enough losing a friend; I can't imagine it being your soulmate. You'll find your own way to deal with it though. Reading this brought back a lot of emotions from that time... anger being one of them. Sounds fucked up to be angry at someone who has died, but I was. I guess you just have to live all the emotions as they happen and know that you will eventually come out on the other side. Best of luck to you. ++

**PolPolski** · 02-08-2007, 12:51 PM

Thought I have felt pain and heartache these past few years but it all pales in comparison to how you must feel. Hang in there man. Prayers to you. Your pain will lessen and your heart will allow her to live on forever.

I usually keep my thoughts to myself on the '+vibes needed' threads, but this is such a terrible and untimely loss. My thoughts are with you, man. Stay strong.

**mtnjam** · 02-08-2007, 03:58 PM

I keep pausing in what I want to say for something appropriate.

Doug,
I keep looking at the TR from the chute and choke up every time I read this thread. I am so sorry for the loss of someone you loved so much. After reading only part of this thread yesterday my wife and I went to see the Banff Mountain Film Festival. There was a 10 minute segment of the Tirol region shot in hi-def flying through valleys, time lapse cloud sequences, changes of seasons with music from Phillip Glass. I couldn't help but think that your wife was seeing that same scene in the Tirol Alps, but only in much more vivid colors and soaring like the eagle that was in the sequence. May she live forever with you and in the mountains you know she'll always be watching over you, blessing you on each journey you take and keeping you safe and loved just like you loved her. She still needs you in your form here on Earth to be the one that takes those journeys, but she'll always be there by your side. Stay strong and if you need anything from us please let us know, we are all here for you.

**kid4lyf** · 02-08-2007, 04:27 PM

Too sad for words at your loss.
I've been married twenty years and can't imagine life without my wife.
A lot of support and prayers are here for you.
People are reaching out, take hold of them.

**Beaver** · 02-08-2007, 05:06 PM

Wow, that's gotta be tough to deal with. You've got a great support network here. Use us as you need us. My condolences and best wishes.

Doug, I cannot imagine the pain you are going through right now. But snoboy speaks the truth. This place has helped (and continues to helpl) me get through the toughest times in my life. Remember that we are all here for you and will rally to help you out with anything you need.

Try to get through the next several weeks. It will be tough, but you will get through it.

**schwerty** · 02-08-2007, 08:11 PM

My wife and I send out condolences to you and your family. Stay strong!

**divegirl** · 02-08-2007, 08:34 PM

Doug I'm still in shock. I don't even know the both of you. I didn't get anything done at work today or yesterday for that matter. It's because I'm thinking about you and you're in my thoughts. Legoskier and I talked about DW last night and I cried and cried, .......I have no idea what you're going through but I pray that you'll come out standing strong.....eventually. The photographs of your wife are so beautiful...she was really loving life or so it seems. I'm so sorry you are in this situation, and I hope you can be at peace with this eventually...someday.

**summit** · 02-08-2007, 08:47 PM

deep condolences

**Singel** · 02-08-2007, 09:03 PM

Just wanted to offer some further words of support after reading more details and hearing of the police involvement. My family endured a similar situation a few years ago, and I'm sorry you've had to face everything else additionally in your time of greatest need. Lean on everyone around you (and all of us around the globe) for love and support. I really hope the police investigation is over and you can move forward to grieve for your wife with fewer external worries.

Stay Strong ++++++

**carvemeister** · 02-08-2007, 09:06 PM

Wow! That is terrible. I'm so sorry!!

She looked like a beautiful, fun loving woman in those photos. What a tragic loss. My prayers are with her and your family.

**jrtoes** · 02-08-2007, 09:06 PM

**vera** · 02-08-2007, 09:07 PM

I lost two of my dearest friends like this.
and am deeply sorry for your loss.
love comes to you from your friends here
and great concern and caring comes as well
from many Bears at Epic---
hang in there.

**TurxSki** · 02-08-2007, 09:28 PM

Oh god, that's truly awful. So sad.

To be so close, and to lose it all, so terribly.
Sharing so much. But, for no reason, being left out of her final, evil decision.

I wish we could take away some of your pain.

All I can suggest is that you get back to doing normal, boring, everyday stuff very soon.
It really helps to distract the mind, a little, from fruitless contemplation on all that has passed.

All our tears will lift her spirit.
