Showing Original Post only (View all)RainDog is dead [View all]
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I knew her a little bit in real life - I met her on DU.
A good friend of hers posted about it on Facebook this morning. I messaged the friend and she said that 'RainDog' died yesterday.
She had posted about being in pain, and being depressed in recent weeks.
She was quite a lover of books and music.
This is from a blog that she contributed to:

She was certainly the only DUer named after a TW album. But what a great record it is.

As the survivor of someone who died unexpectedly, this is not a good question to ask

I can appreciate the sensitivity. It is still hard for me to speak of my parents' deaths..

I can't believe we'll never see another post from RainDog, after all these years...

I know, she was here with us just a few days ago, and now she'll never be here again.

Well, I'm a half-assed Buddhist, so I don't believe that the death of our physical bodies is the end
