VIRTUAL MEMORIAL TO MEGAN (PICKAMIX)

[red_satin_doll]

HERE on the ficamix community. Originally a site created by dragonyphoenix to keep Megan entertained during her illness with gifts from friends, it is now a place for all of us who knew and loved (and were sometimes were driven 'round the bend by) Megan to share our memories, our grief; further gifts of prose and art inspired by and dedicated to her.

Thank you so much to angelus2hot for the gorgeous memorial banner and velvetwhip for her stunning prose; and thanks again to dragonyphoenix for making this possible.. The memorial went up on Sunday but there is no "time limit" to it, no need to worry about being late to the wake; and no need to worry about eloquence or brilliance. Don't have art or a fic? Just want to say you miss her, or howl at the moon because you can't find the words? Or have a funny memory you want to share? Please come. The more we share our grief, the more we are able to give comfort to one another and feel a little less alone.

Reading other people's stories and memories gives each of us a fuller measure of what an incredible woman she was.

And I'm so glad you and angelus2hot created it. We've all been grieving in separate spaces - I've been gratified by the sharing that's happened here on my journal and I know this has been happening elsewhere as well, but having a larger communal space is also important as we continue to process our grielf. ('cause it ain't " boom done over I'm fine now what's for supper? ")

Exactly, and I wanted there to be a space where everyone from all the segments of her life can meet and share their feelings and maybe learn even more about her in the process.

No, there's no "okay, I'm done" at all.

maybe learn even more about her in the process.

Which is exactly what's happened - starting with Lenore's comments. and spreading outward. Megan's reach and influence are astonishing.

there's no "okay, I'm done" at all.

Which is probably how it should be.
