I just heard from Tim, with an update about Cristi. THey’ve issued an amended death certificate, cause of death drowning - it had nothing to do with her recent hospitalization. Tim also reports that he spoke to the medical examiner, who confirmed she’d had a seizure.
he wanted folks here to know, also gave many thanks to for all the good wishes, thoughts, prayers.
I asked how the kids were doing, he says they’ve got a counselor coming in regularly, they still have sad/hard times (I suspect that recent mother’s day was a challenge), but the kids are able to sleep at night now.
he ended his email with
I asked the admins if it was ok to post for him, they gave permission due to the very unusual circumstances. I post this because Tim asked me to, and I cared for Cristi. I know I wasn’t as close to her as many others here. Tim wanted to share this information, and I wanted to do what I could.
It’s funny who “strangers” from the internet affect ones life. I did not know Cristi other than reading posts here and there, but I do have to say when he posted about her death I felt bad- I even cried for her. I think of her kids often and hope that all is well for them.
Thanks for posting this wring.
Ditto the thanks. Acrylic Vessel and I think about her all the time. I’m glad things are going OK for Tim and the kids and I’m equally glad he realizes she had a lot of friends here who want to keep in the know.
wring thanks for the update. Please thank Tim for keeping us informed. I’m glad to here the children are getting counseling to help them deal with losing their mother.
I agree with what misstee said. I didn’t know Christi from other than her posts which I always enjoyed. Of course, this addictive board has given me a really strange, lot of fun, dysfunctional but loving extended internet “family” of which she was a part, so her passing left something missing.
I met Persephone at a Dopefest in Lansing, MI, several years ago, along with wring and maybe a couple more people. It’s still hard to believe that she died from a seizure.
will let him know people appreciate the updates. I, too, am very glad the kids are still getting help. no need to thank me, though, I’m just the conduit.
Thank you, wring and Tim. I can imagine how hard it is for him to deal with this and for him to think of us like he does, well, he’s a mensch. Words cannot describe my admiration and appreciation.
for it being something so uncontrollable.
