This thread is available for you to post your goodbye wishes to Heath. Please be respectful to Heath and his family and not post anything that would be regarded as rumor or speculation. We all have our own ways of saying goodbye. Whether it is a letter, a poem, a song or a picture. Feel free to post it here. Please remember to respect each others beliefs and feelings as well.

All the best to Heath's family, especially his little girl, who has lost who I am sure is a wonderful father. He will be deeply missed and always remembered as a wonderful actor and charming person.

I am Totaly shocked.
One of the Greatest Actors of our Time has passed by.

xxxxx

I have no words to describe how I feel.

I send all my best to his beautiful family...thank you for sharing him with us for so long.

I loved this guy, to wake up and hear the news he has died was tragic
He was one of the best and talanted actors around today.
My heart goes out to his family and friends, losing a loved one is hard.
RIP Heath you will be missed by millions.

im so sad and i cant believe
well we all will luv u 4ever heath

The news is heartbreaking , I really liked Heath , My heart and thoughts go out to his family at this very sad time. Peace be with you xx .

I'm still too shocked....I can hardly say anything......I can't describe how much I loved him....
Words are meaningless and not enough for a person ...such a wonderful person Heath was!
Maybe after some time ...when my heart's pieces get together again and my soul and whole body
stops hurting so much,then I'll be able to write a proper poem or make a great video about
the world losing the greatest person and the best actor of our times!



I'm still crying and I don't know if I'm ever going to stop !I don't even know how am I going to watch
his movies from now on.....It's too hard...too painful!God ,please take care of him!
Heath,if you can hear me....you have no idea how many people are mourning your death,and
in my heart you'll always live ...also ,...The Oscars are such a small way to appreciate your talent...you
didn't need awards to show the whole world what the best actor is all about....You changed a lot of lives and maybe even the film industry!

The things I'll always regret are: Firstly not meeting you(I always dreamed it would happen),then the fact that you'll never going to meet your daughter(all grown up) and Matilda her father(although I'm sure she'll see you in movies and people will tell her what a wonderful person you were) ,the fact that you'll never get to play with Johnny Depp(who resembles to you) and you never got to win an Oscar and have that speech when receiving it....I always wondered what would you say when you'll win it...
I wish I could say more but I simply can't and not even after a month...I'm in such great pain!


Rest in peace , sweet angel

I'll always love U ,Heath!

I'm in shock. My heart goes out to his family, friends, and fans.

Rest in peace Heath you will be rembered always .
Going to miss you you will be in mine and many other fans hearts forever.
we will never forget you.

Looks like I found this site just in time to find out about his passing.

As I sit here heartbroken, dumbfounded, and in utter shock...all I can do is send up prayers to help his family, friends, and fans deal with the void that can never be filled in Heath's absence. And to hope that all will remember him fondly as the amazing man he was, and the legend he will forevermore be.

I just can't, dont want to, believe that this is happening.. My heart goes out to Matilda and his family. As I write this , i can not even see the keyboard clearly as it seems the tears wont stop. It hurts so much to see him go so early.. I love you Heath Ledger and wont forget you, as im sure every fan feels the same.. May you rest in peace, in the arms of the angels, I will remember you always..

it is truly a sad day. Here is a poem I hope will offer you some comfort. This was read at my mom's funeral

Do Not Stand By My Grave and Weep by Mary Elizabeth Frye


Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Hi everyone,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, if it isn't I'm sorry , I just this minute joined.

I felt I needed to join to express my deepest sympathy toward Heaths friends and family, and you guys, his fans.

I woke up this morning to see the news of his death and was (and still am) in great shock. I have never been someone who follows his career day to day, but if one of his films was on TV I would watch because I found his acting to be mezmorising. He always had a habit of drawing me in. He was one of those rare celebrities that came across so friendly, kind and genuin in interviews....a rare quality these days.

I am genuinly upset and my thoughts and love go out to all of you as I know this must be hard for all of you.

All my love
Cozmo

I'm not good with the tributes. All I can really say that he was a very talented actor and a kind, loving man. I especially liked that he was his own person, even in the face of Hollywood conformity.

During a recent interview for "I'm Not There," he was playing, rather absentmindedly, with a couple of clothespins. When the reporter asked him about it he sort of shrugged, then offered her one. It cracked me up. It was such a sweet, silly thing to do. It kind of sums up what I admired about him.

I'm a huge Heath fan and when i woke to hear the news of his death this morning i was in total shock. It just seems such a waste of a very talented young man. I still can't get my head round the fact that his dead.
My thoughts are with his family.

This devastating news breaks my heart. I lost my mother tragically at Xmas so I know how his family feel and my heart goes out to them. His family have lost a beautiful man and his little girl has lost a wonderful father. We have lost a great talent.

In my thoughts

xxxxx

i dont think there are any words that anyone could say for how they feel some things can not be explaned in words i just dont belave it. shocked and sad just dose not sum up this awful thing
i think that is a very cool thing of u to say 'thanks you for sharing him with us'

He still lives on in his daughter rip heath x

Goodbye Heath! I am saddened by your passing. Thank you for all the work you have done to bring smiles to our faces. May God bless your family in this tough time and may you be at peace!

A memorial blog has been set up for anyone who would like to post a comment, tribute, to help each other heal.

Heath Ledger Memorial Blog

I'll not forget you, Heath...

Thank you for sharing a part of yourself with us. You always made me smile I hadn't known of you very long, but you had captured my heart with your silly smile and sparkling eyes.
You will be sincerely missed.

I have not given up on my dream to meet you.

~Kim~



Soar like a hawk through the heavens
and know that you are blessed.

Heath was such a large part of my childhood. Ever since "The Patriot" I had always been completly amazed by Heath and his incredible talent. I was incredibly shocked when I heard the news and I have been incredibly sad by this news ever since. The world has lost an incredible person and an incredible talent.
My prayers are with Heath's family, friends, and Michelle and Matilda. He will be sorely missed by everyone.

I am sorry everyone that I have been late in joining in your grief. Please bear with me as I foolishly pour out my heart.

I was absolutely devastated when I heard the news and stayed hysterical for more than an hour. I have barely been able to cope or stop crying since.

I am truly sorry for all of your pain and I share it.

I cannot imagine a world without this wonderful, loving, caring, giving man. And I do not want to. Heath was someone I knew, albiet only slightly, through mutual friends. I had hoped to know him better in future. He had been kind enough to reach out to me, and we had corresponded a couple of times. I loved him more than I can express, and I am devastated beyond words.

Please everyone, if it is in your faith, please pray for God to embrace Heath, and for Heath's family, and especially for little Matilda for whom my heart breaks when I think of the wonderful father she will miss, a man who (by his own words) was going to teach her to be fearless, like he was. She will not have the opportunity to become who she would have if he had participated in her upbringing, if he had raised her with his courage, his sensitivity, his gentleness and love. I grieve for her loss.

I never told him in correspondence how much I truly loved him. It would have been ridiculous and I would have been a fool. But now that doesn't matter. . . I wish I could. I wish so much that he could know.

I love you Heath. Honestly & truly, with all my heart.

Please God, embrace him, watch over him and give him peace.

Watching the news this morning and hearing of this tragedy was absoloutly heart wreching I didnt believe what I was hearing i'm deeply saddened as I am sure thousands others are, Heath was a fantastic actor and a credit to his profession.
I feel for his family and hope that the media leave heath to rest in peace and respect their wishes.
Those close to him will remeber him forever in their hearts and fans will remember him for his fantastic acting and for the fact he really was an inspiration !!

Miss You Heath x x x

I cant even begin to explain how saddened I am today. Heath's passing is very tragic and shocking to me. I could not believe what I was seeing on my computer or on tv yesterday. I pray for his family that somehow they will find some peace--although I know it will not be anytime soon.

Just wanted to leave my memories of Heath, sort of as therapy i guess. I had the opportunity to do some work on the new Batman when it filmed last summer here in Chicago and Heath lived right across the street from the business I manage as well. He was such a kind man in every way. Treated everyone with respect and wanted to be treated like anyone else you would encounter. You ask him to go out and have a drink, he would go. You want to smoke a cigarette together, he would do it. He was truly the perfect actor as he did it for the love of the art and you could tell that fame was something he could care less about. I also had a chance to get to know Nate and Jerry, his assistants and I know they are both devastated, so my thoughts go out to them as well. I can still hear and see where our last interactions took place. I have never been effected by losing a star on a personal level, but Heath is one I can't handle. I have no doubt in my mind or body for that matter that this truly was an accident. Heath was not a huge partier while in Chicago. Anyway, God Bless his soul and his family as they work through this tough time. Good luck to all of you on this board as well. Cherish this day and every second of your life!!

My heart and prayers go out ot Heath's family and friends. May God bless you all and be with you in your time of sorrow.
I can't imagine what it must be like for them. I am truly sorry for their loss.
As a fan I know I can see Heath as I always have, in a good movie. That's how he will live on for me. What a tragedy. I know Heath's death was an accident . I do wish the media would stop with the nasty accusations.
My prayers are with you all as well as the family and friends of Heath Ledger. God Bless you all and I pray for you also Heath that you may rest in peace.

My heart is so heavy when I had heard of the tragic passing of this amazing actor-person. I went to church tonight just to say prayers for Heath and his family. I am glad I found this site as I feel I need to say my good-bye's as well. It is truly a huge loss to the world and Heath will be missed dearly! He was a unique person and I only wish that his life wasn't cut short so that we could continue to see him grow and become one of the greatest actors of our time. Heath and his family will forever be in my prayers. He was a very special person and he will always hold a very special place in my heart.

God bless you Health and your family.

sincerely,
julie

Phyllis, I wanted to make a post and let you know that I was thinking of and praying for you, as well as for Heath, the Ledgers, and little Matilda. I was shocked to hear of his passing, and also deeply saddened. His effortless talent, as well as his genuine, kind-hearted nature is a loss to the world.

You've helped me over the years garner a strong sense of admiration for Heath, both as an actor and as a man. His departure is quite devastating to all who were affected by his life -- even me.

I know what he meant to you, and if there's anything I can do, I'm here.

I love you dearly, and I'm thinking of you every second in your time of loss.

--Steven

My condolences to his family, to Matilda, and to Michelle. From what I heard about him, he was a wonderful human being. I am shocked and saddened and I still can't believe he's gone. We will miss you. Rest in peace, Heath.

I must explain something before posting ...... I wouldn't describe myself as a "fan" of Heath. I am not one to eagerly await the release of his latest film and though I am certain it will be hard for most who post here to understand, I don't ogle at pictures of him.

However, the few times I have had the pleasure of enjoying his work or watched the occasional interview with him, I have come away with the lingering impression that he is a very genuine, kind and very down-to-earth man in addition to being one of the most prolific, up-and-coming actors of his time.

For some reason I have been overwhelmingly compelled to post my thoughts somewhere. In those few moments in time, Heath Ledger made a very large impression on me. It is not often we have the opportunity to witness the burgoning of such talent in someone who seemed to be so sweetly simple.

Though the loss of such a man is truely a tragedy. We should try to remember to focus on the blessings his presence brought. He will forever be with those he loved and cared for as spirits like Heath Ledger do not fade.

I am thankful for his time on this earth as I am certain my impressions were ten-fold in person. I am thankful that he has given us child upon this earth who might carry on his good nature and sweet spirit. I am thankful his passing was serene. Many prayers for strength and comfort to those who will miss him.

I feel as all of you do, devastated, shocked, and a little lost. How did this happen? It can't have happened... I have adored Heath for years as you all have. It's surreal to me. A Knight's Tale is my favorite movie, I see him frozen in time at 21 constantly. How can it be he will no longer age outside these roles we love watching him give life to? It just can't be.
He’ll forever be that fresh-faced boy singing his heart out on a set of football field bleachers, the lion-hearted peasant who changed his stars, the kind of younger brother who believed magic beans would save a life, a man who could love his faith and a woman at once, a father’s son, one young man’s heart, and every woman’s Casanova.
It breaks my heart. He was so beautiful; his soul, his voice, his generous and sensitive nature, his magnetic energy, and yes, oh, that smile. Bless you Heath. God love you, and so do we.

Sarah

I'll mourn your loss and celebrate your life...

My heart goes out to anyone and everyone who feels this emptiness. Smile when you think of him as soon as you're able, it's the best way to remember...

As for Heath his death has laft a hole in acting world that willnever be filled. He was so funny in 10 things I hate about you. He did have a very kind face and a wicked smile, he was a lovely person that im sure of. he stayed grounded and never let his fame change him that was one of the things I liked about this guy.
he will be missed by all his fand RIP Heath

It is with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes that I post this. I don’t know how or if I will ever recover from my shock and grief for the loss of our beloved Heath. I didn’t know him personally so I shouldn’t be so devastated but maybe it’s easier to mourn for a stranger who touched your soul in so many ways.

I’ve been living and breathing Heath and BBM for many months now. Heath meant so much more to me than I can say. He was my silent friend, my secret joy, my inspiration, a person I looked up to and admired from afar. He made us laugh, he made us cry, he made us fall in love and share wonderful feelings. He was the one who brought Ennis to life and now he’s gone.

I couldn’t write yesterday as I was drowning in sorrow but now I feel the need to reach out to all his other fans and people who loved him to find some kind of solace and soothe my aching heart in knowing that I’m not alone.

I feel it’s time for me to share what’s in my heart with people who will understand. Yesterday morning as soon as I woke up I realized that I had dreamed of Heath. Of course I’ve been having many dreams about him but that one was special because in it he spoke to me for the first time. When I opened my computer and read the horrible news, I broke down and cried and simply couldn’t believe that my love was gone. Then I remembered the dream I had about him and I realized that when he visited me in my sleep, it was his spirit saying goodbye.


Farewell My Love,
You will always live in my heart.

Natasha (cyberling2205)

You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here
(Sarah McLachlan)

Dear Russell:
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences and impression of Heath with us. You are fortunate to carry a very sacred memory, and I am so touched at your description of his kindness and genuine humility. And thank you for verifying for those who never had the chance to know, how wonderful and real he was.




Thank you so much for coming over. That you weren't specifically a fan, yet were touched by Heath, is even more significant. Thank you for noticing how kind and down to earth he was and for offering your prayers for his family and all those suffering grief.




Thank you so much for sharing such eloquent feelings, Natasha. I truly share and understand your feelings.

Dear Heath... Thank you for touching my soul. I will never forget you!!! May you be a guardian angel for Mathilda and guide her through her life...
Love.... Sytse

My heart hurts with that familiar dull ache. I just doesn't seem real.

My thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans… especially Michelle, Mathilda and his parents. I know it's a cliche, but it WILL get easier with time.

I first noticed Heath when I watched '10 things I hate about you'. He seemed like a sweet, sensitive, peaceful and beautiful soul (and extremely handsome and talented). He never seemed like a superstar… he felt like one of us, someone we could imagine having a pint and a natter with… that's why everyone is so so saddened.

All the good ones get taken from us early. I'm sure he's kicking back, realaxing and getting plenty of rest up there and wishing everyone would smile and not cry.

Smile when you're sad.

p.s Heath, give my uncle a hug up there... he passed away last week. x

i am so incredibly saddened by the news of heath's death. he was a unique, talented young actor, who had so much potential for the future and his career. my prayers and regards go out to his family in perth and his daughter matilda, who will never get to know what an amazing man her father was. heath, you will truly be missed by your many fans all over the world.

Addio Heath...la tragica notizia della tua prematura scomparsa...mi ha dato un enorme dispiacere...quando ho appreso la notizia dai Tg ho avuto una stretta allo stomaco...come si può morire così??il mio dispiacere è non soltanto per il talentuoso attore...ma soprattutto per il giovane uomo...che troppo presto è venuto a mancare ..il mio abbraccio virtuale va alla tua famiglia e alla tua bambina Matilda che non avrà la possibilità di crescere con il padre affianco ..sono tanto addolorata..e dispiaciuta..Addio CAVALIERE..che il tuo sorriso continui ancora a splendere e che i tuoi occhi gioiosi a ridere...ovunque tu sia!!!

un abbraccio ...chiara

Hello. I wanted to join your group to let you know how sorry I am about Heath's passing. Shock and dismay aren't really adequate words to describe what I'm sure all of Heath's family and fans are feeling. My heart goes out to his family and most certainly his beautiful young daughter. It breaks my heart she will never grow up with him as a physical force in her life. But it is to you, his ladies, that I want to express my condolences to today. He was your beauty, your love and you supported him through his triumphs and his low times. He appreciated you. He knew you loved him. Wished only the best for him, personally and professionally. I'm sure if your anything like me with the one I call my beauty, you would become tigers if anyone put him down and wholeheartedly agree when someone expressed what an incredible actor and wonderful man that he was. I hope that all of you will keep this place going in his memory and continue to be friends. You guys will do Heath proud if you would do that. I promise here and now, when The Dark Knight comes out I will go to see it in his memory and enjoy what I think will be a fun and exciting movie.

Take good care of yourselves HeathsHeathens. My heart is with you during this sorrowful and hurting time.

This must be an exceptionally difficult time for you. I'm so sorry for the loss of your Uncle.

I always checked this website but never registered, so I did it today to write this. I'm sorry it has to be under these circumstances.

I have no words to describe how this hurts. And I cannot imagine the pain his family is suffering right now... So I'm with them. All my love to his family, especially to his daughter - Because I'm SO SURE that she's lost the best father ever, and I know she will be proud of him all her life.

I'm terribly shocked, and my eyes are always covered with tears. He's been my obsession for more than 10 years and I feel like I've lost one important part of me. I cannot watch anything related to him for I feel devastated, but as soon as I overcome from this I'll start making videos and all kind of things to preserve Heath's memory.

He'll always be the best. Everybody should be proud of who he was and what he did, because he was amazing - As a person and as an actor.

He changed his star - He truly did. And that must be an example that everything is possible. This is why, from now on, every time I look to the most shining star in the sky, I'll think it's him smiling with his precious smile.

For all this I have to THANK YOU, Heath - Because you gave light to my life, because you showed me that everything was possible, because you are a part of my heart forever and it feels very warm. Just THANK YOU, for being who you were and who you'll always be.

Heath, we'll love you forever.

Phyllis

thank you for confirming what I already knew. That there was NO illegal drugs. Heath wasn't doing drugs. Anything he took was prescribed to him. What angers me is that they are saying all this crap about him. He wasn't playing the hollywood game with the tabloids and they decided to make things up.

Now that he is gone it's like they are writing all these lies.

I want to remember Heath as the fine actor and wonderful human being that he was.

I am so broken up about this.

Rest in peace Heath

Linda

Can't breathe, in all honesty this is how this tragedy is hitting me. Me of all people...I'm not a person who finds themselves clinging to well-known actors/actresses, I don't read tabloids, and I don't hang pictures of them all around me. I just experience their powerful or moving works/films and they either touch me personally or they don't. Losing Heath Ledger from filmography is like losing one of my best friends. His films have always been around me to comfort me, make me smile, or give me solice. I began looking thru my movie collection and I realized all the films I have watched over 20 times and could watch over a hundred more had one actor in common. I had never really thought about it either...I know I didn't just pick them out because they had some hot young actor in them. I purchased these films as part of my permanant collection because I loved these films. Then, just then, it happened and I started to think that such an impressionable actor who I've grown up watching, whose films I could just pop in to give me a little pick me up when my life was not going as planned is no longer going to be around creating new stories for me to lose myself in. I'm sorry, but to me I think that sounds selfish. We depend on a guy who is just a regular guy to demostrate such powerful emotion in our two hour bursts. But, I know he had a great passion about acting, and I think that was clear in all the roles he had chosen. He put all of himself into everything he has accomplished and that is why we will all miss him. He has touched such a part of my life, and until he died I didn't realize how much I really depended on him to just always be there. HEATH WE WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU!!! [b]

I have been complete devastated by the tragic news of Heath’s passing. When I heard the news, I was absolutely numb for a couple of hours. I just couldn’t believe it, but the tears started to flow as the undeniable truth sunk in.

I never had the privilege to meet Heath, (which was one of my dreams) but as his father stated, Heath has touched so many people on so many levels during his short life, but few had the pleasure of truly knowing him.

I have been a fan for the last nine years. I admired and respected the immensely talented and sensitive actor so much, that he inspired me to become a screenwriter. He also touched my soul. Just seeing his beautiful smile and deep soulful eyes made me happy and filled me with joy. I loved his films, but no character was ever as wonderful as he was as a person. The rare times we caught a glimpse of Heath being Heath were truly special. He was such an inspirational human being and one that brought so much light into the world. He will be deeply missed.

Although my heart is breaking and I will miss him terribly, I can only imagine the inconsolable grief his family and friends must feel at this time. My heart and prayer are with you. As a mother, my heart especially goes out to sweet little Matilda who will no longer feel her father’s tender kisses or warm hugs. May God bless you and keep you safe.

Dearest Heath, I absolutely love and adore you. You will forever live on in all of our hearts and memories.
Peace be with you, my Angel.

I am not surprised that they (the police) didnt find any illegal drugs in or around Heath. Not that I pretend to know the man on a pesonal level, but he never appeared to be one of the "hollywood brats." I think thats what I loved so much about him is that he danced to his own drummer and didnt sell himself out. I always looked so forward to seeing the new movies that he was in and they never failed to entertain. My daughter had Heath's "A Knight's Tale" poster about her bed for years and as all young girls do, she would dream that someday she might meet him. Heath was my daughter's all time favorite actor and "hottie." We must have watched "A Knight's Tale" and "10 things I hate about you" at least 100 times each!! I can say I even watched the additional stuff that they offer on the dvds!

I still cant believe that this has happened! My heart goes out to his family and friends and I am really hoping that they hurry with the tox results so that all of the jerks that are saying all the bad stuff are finally silenced.

I just know in my heart that this was all a tragic accident and all I can say is that I hope his family can find some small scrap of piece knowing that he is in God's hands. We will always love and admire you Heath....thanks for the memories.

I know exactly how you feel, Xanetia. I feel like a part of my heart and soul, a part that I gave specially to Heath, has been ripped from me.

He never even knew that he had it.
