new desperate answers.

Having read that I'm worried too.

*reads* :-( I third the worries here.

i feel fucking awful. I was crying at work.

― nathalie, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I agree that the entry is pretty ominous. I just tried e-mailing Marcello, inviting him to talk it out on the thread or by e-mail.

fuck is he ok?

It's 3.47 am. I haven't cried since Laura died. I am crying now.

I wish I could have done more than I did, Marcello. Just tell me if you're still here.

If anyone here has Marcello's address or phone no. it might be a good idea to try and call in on him or phone him, or even call the police. It is better to over-react than stand by while someone suicides; the worst consequence of the former is a sense of foolishness which weighs nothing against his potential death. If I knew him I would act in a flash. I've lost friends before in this way and it's utterly tragic.

Well I cried the phone number they gave me at the international service. Noone picked up (it was already eleven PM). I am not even sure it is his number. Apparently he did post the next day. And Marcello, if you're reading this, please contact us.

I "tried" to phone him of course.

― nathalie, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ok, well if he posted since then it's encouraging. You're a good friend, Nathalie.

Marcello, if you read this, I'm very sorry you are suffering so much. I hope you eventually find some peace and that, until then, people are kind to you and don't expect more from you than you can deliver. In my experience society deals with the grief-stricken in a highly prescriptive, pro-Pollyanna way, but it's not always easy to be sunny and well-behaved in the face of terrible loss.

Very few people are loved as well as it seems Laura was loved by you. Your passion for her is moving. I hope it might give you some consolation eventually, knowing you loved her like that.

I'm sorry if I've crossed the line.

I have tried to phone him at work this morning, but I think I'm getting thru to the wrong part of the Hospital as they claim not to have heard of him. Sh@t. I'll keep trying.

― Dr. C, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Marcello emailed me this morning. He was very low and angry when he wrote that entry on Tuesday: things are a bit better now, he says.

Anyway, all thanks for your concern. He's planning to steer clear of ILx for a while, which is why he asked me to post something on his behalf.

― mark s, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks for letting us know Mark, and please pass on my good wishes to Marcello if you happen to speak to him.

― Andrew L, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

thanks mark; kind regards to marcello.

― david h, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

that's a relief. Best wishes.

― Matt, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It is good to hear. My best for him!

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Relief is the only emotion I feel. So glad.
