Oh my God, I can't believe this. I haven't been here in a while, but this is crushing. Now you are free from pain!

It happened very fast and suddenly. She wasn't particularly open about her struggle, even with other staff.
 
I am so so sorry to hear the news about Claire.

There’s nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said. She was an incredible member of Bluelight. She’s helped more than she realised I’m sure. She read the whole forum every day and that takes dedication. She was dedicated, to the mission of Bluelight and helping those in need of support. She will be missed incredibly and never forgotten.

Just found this out today 😣😣😣
Took a lil break from BL after getting pregnant with my daughter. I asked about Pumpkin today and said that I missed her “would you rather” posts she would always make for me. When I was living in Vegas, I was stuck in a really dark place and she was constantly checking on me or making a post asking me to check in with someone and let them know I’m okay. I don’t think she ever knew how much of a difference that made in my life and Im heartbroken that I’ll never get to tell her. I love you Pumpkin, you were such an amazing person and I love you.
 
When I came back on staff in 2021, I was a little skeptical of this Pumpkin lady. It didn't take long for me to come to adore her always consistent tough love, something we all need sometimes. I still remember when she told us that Pumpkin was the name of her pup.

It's my first time opening this thread even though I believe deficiT told me the news back in November. I typically only see tears once every few years. Damn.

This is some truly devastating news to break guys. I have just spoken with her mother on the phone. @Nurse Ratched passed away last Saturday. She was like a distant online mother to me. I'm utterly heartbroken. We haven't seen a BL staff member as helpful, thorough, and hard working as her in a very long time. She had a tough battle with leukemia and ultimately fell to congestive heart failure. I know she was greatly loved by so many, and she will be missed by a great number of us.

I'm personally greatly distressed that there wasn't more I said to her in the past couple months. I wish I could've said how much I loved her and how much she inspired and supported me through my own personal trouble. She had her struggles with addiction in the past, but made an amazing recovery and put in a ton of work and her own free time towards helping other people struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues. This should inspire all of us.

I will be saying some prayers for her. Rest in Peace, you will be greatly missed ❤️❤️💔💔💕

I agree with you man.

She had a decency about her that I miss.

RIP Claire.
 
Rest in Peace Claire <3
Your kindness, wisdom, and 'take-no-bullshit' attitude were truly unmatched.
I can't believe that it has been almost a year since you passed.
 
😢😢 rip …. She gived me support when i was in hell on heart … nooo ! 🙏🙏🙏. . Thank u for all ❤️
 
I cannot believe this. I am in tears. She was always the first person to respond to my posts when I was in a severe state of distress. I will be mourning her loss, and I will do my best to contribute to others who need support. I'm going to have to take some time to absorb the reality of this news. Maybe I'll write a song for her.
 
Claire was an amazingly supportive, giving, and wise person. I very much wish I had been able to meet her before she passed. She cared for me unconditionally, and I will never forget that.

I realize now that it's been an entire year, which doesn't seem real to me.

Her loss is felt around here, every single day. But so is her caring presence and legacy.

I will pray for you Claire 🙏 and I miss you so incredibly much💓💗❤️:heart3::heart7::heart6::heart1:

I haven't recorded original material since I was in high school. I'm struggling to learn how to use computers and Digital Audio Workstations, etc. They frustrate me and I don't think we should be relying on computers as much as we do when creating original material. I certainly will let the board know if I come up with something, even if it is just a few sad chords played in a minor key. Thanks for the encouragement!
