If I ever disappear.

Post by bookworm »

I’ve considered posting about this in the past and the combination of Monty’s disappearance and KF’s news finally made me do it. I don’t mean to be morbid, but this needs to be said. Just for your information.

I don’t think anyone I know in real life really knows about this website, so if anything ever happens to me it’s not likely you’ll be notified. I’m thinking of how we learned about SnC for example. That wouldn’t happen. I would simply disappear and you would all be left wondering what had happened and possibly never get an answer. I don’t want to put you through that, so this is an attempt to give some preemptive closure.

If I ever disappear for more than six months, I mean really disappear, just drop out of the picture completely without any announcement beforehand or notice during, you can assume with pretty sure confidence that something drastic has happened. If something is causing me to be away for an extended time I will always let you know, either before, if I know about it, or if it’s something unforeseen I will find a way to drop in as soon as I can and let you know something is up and that I won’t be around for a while.

Again, I don’t want to be morbid or upset anyone, God willing things will never come to this, but I just had to get that out to you because I really don’t want anyone to ever be anxiously wondering if something happened to me or if I just left or what was going on. To me, not knowing what the situation is is actually worse than knowing something tragic occurred, because in the latter at least you can begin to cope while in the former you have no idea whether there is actually anything to cope with. I don’t want to put any of you through that uncertainty.

Okay now that that’s out of the way please don’t dwell on it, I just had to make sure it was posted on the record for if it’s ever unfortunately needed.

Maybe there is a person you trust here to give another form of contact to check in on you? Besides that, clearly we're praying we never need to worry about you or anyone else going missing. :)

I have considered that, and may one day. Or set up something like this.

Hmm that sounds good. Cause I really have no one else other than my brother to alert what happened to me.

I have thought about this from time to time. I used to wonder if my brother (who knows about this site) would think to share the news of my death with you guys. As the years went on, I started adding ToOers on Facebook, and today, I think I'm friends with around 25. My family knows how to get access to my Facebook and let everyone know.

Facebook makes life a little more worry-free. :-

bookworm, if you want to share your information with me privately, you know I'll keep it permanently secure.

Thanks AE. I'll keep you and a couple other people in mind for if it ever comes to giving emergency contact info.
