I personally find some of the protestations of grief to be selfish manifestations of personal fear by individuals who wish to appear sympathetic. Individuals who are in fact merely concerned with their own safety, which feels threatened by his death. It is all just a little too close for comfort.
To those of us who actually knew Gareth and shared space with him for the last four years and some months, it is not merely a cautionary tale or a reminder of mortality but indeed a personal loss. Give us your sympathy if you must, but do not pretend you have any inkling of what we are experiencing. Spare us your false empathy.
