So many people died this week. People who seemed immortal to me. People who helped.
It's a real shame about Carrie Fischer. She is primarily remembered as an icon but she was brilliant as herself and very different from the princess she played (although also strong and fiercely independent).
She took a severe mental illness—bipolar disorder—and turned it into strength as much as she could. She looked so alive during her interviews, was such a maelstrom of emotion that it's impossible to imagine her dead.
Rest in peace, Carrie Fischer. The soft touches you left on millions of lives will remain.
