Back to Black

The demons won.

She would have tried and tried, over the years. Made promises to herself and her family. She would have thought, I can do this!

And she kept sinking back down again. Into the black.

It's a siren song. The world is hard for all of us - the junkies and alcoholics make their world so much harder.

I wish she knew that recovery was real. It exists. There are things in your life that feel more exquisite than any pill, any shot, any drink. It's true, I have seen it and felt it with
my own eyes and heart. I don't believe in a lot, in life. But I believe in this and I wish she could have too.

Fare well, Amy.

    I feel bad for her family mostly. The ones who actually cared.
    I wasn't a huge fan of hers but I do wish her well in her next life.
    RIP Amy x

    I have been so sad about this all day.

    I can't even sleep.

    I had a bit of hope she kid kick it all.
    But she was in such bad shape, I saw the footage of the show in Serbia...She couldn't even stand still.

    So horrible. And every day, she just went from high to high.

    I had wanted something to work for her.

    I had hope.

    So sad. I doubt anyone wakes up and wants to be an addict. It's a cruel disease. Such a waste.

    Said far better than I ever could Eden.

    27 years old, all that wasted talent and beauty. Just makes me feel sad.

    Such a loss to her family and friends, and to us as she was such a talented singer and songwriter. RIP Amy.

    Thank you for the beautiful post Eden.

    Thank you.

    I wrote this post out on my iPhone in the car on the way to Sydney today. Told Dave I was ".. just answering emails hon." But man I had to say SOMETHING about her.

    I am not cured. Never will be. All I have is this moment right now, sitting on the couch too late at night again.

    I was twenty seven when I had my first baby and got the reason I needed to be better. I really and truly shudder to think what my life would have been without her. I've been such a lucky person in so many ways. I really feel it thinking about this beautiful, clever and talented woman lost to us.
