Carrie Fisher has Massive Heart Attack & Subsequently Dies

[TRlaura]

Just another worthless druggie. Her death was her choice and nothing less.

^^^ Clearly someone who doesn't understand what it's like to battle addiction.

She wasn't worthless. She was loved by many, loved many, and had a wonderfully complex, quirky, and brilliant mind.

She also battled undiagnosed bipolar disorder for several years, self-medicated, and ultimately spiraled down into heavy addiction, which plagued her and snared her in the end, as addictions often do.

[picklejuice]

Complex creature (like we all are): self destructive, self indulgent, self deprecating, self afflicted.

And ultimately she denied herself the full, long life that was intended for her at her creation. Good old choice; free will.

Tragic, beloved human being/figure.

Worthless? No human being is worthless in the beginning...

So what if she took drugs? There are worse ways to die.

I am glad she took drugs. I wish more people would use her as a role model and make more space for the rest of us.

Somebody sounds bitter.

She was someone of my generation...a lot of us played & partied...some famous ones come to mind...lately, Glenn Frey & Gregg Allman, and for me, some not-so-famous...my high school boyfriend, who was the most gentle & kind person, but died in January, his health conditions exacerbated by too much partying.

I think a lot of us baby boomers aren't going to make it to our 70's. All you Gen-X, Millenials, etc., take note.

TRIaura, there are words to describe you, but then, City-Data would slap my hand, so you're not worth it. Go back into your mom's basement.

Oh yes, those days...^^^^
I tell people that I'm lucky I'm still hear to talk abt it!

But I am a little disappointed to hear this abt CF. I would of thought that she knew better by now. Or at least tried harder to over come her addiction.

But, I guess that's easy for me to say.

I watched a recording of Carrie's one woman show a while back. She was so funny, and accepting of her faults. She had many years of substance abuse wreaking havoc on her body. She stood there in front of that crowd, humble, and spoke the truth. Wonderful woman, and daughter to a mother who loved her despite her faults. They were close at the end, and that is good to know.
