Hi, everyone,
I learned recently that Maxime died about a year ago. A couple of us thought that those who knew her and appreciated her contributions here would like to know.
I thought this could be a thread in which we remember, and say goodbye to, her.
Maxime became a member of Babble in 2003 and detached herself from here in 2011. I remember she struggled mightily with self-hatred. I like to think she felt supported by this community in that struggle. I'm sad she's no longer with us, or even in this world.
Anybody else? If you feel moved to, please feel free to quote, or to link to, something she posted.
Bob

Yes, I remember her well, in particular her fierce intelligence.
Naturally I had wondered how she was.
It was difficult to imagine her being well, certainly I recall her saying of herself 'so depleted'.
The suffering some people go through is truly terrible.
God bless.

Once I asked her what the depression felt like and she talked about wanting to throw herself off every building site she walked past.
(It is possible for consciousness to be a joy and I don't understand why it is often so hellish.)
Parnate worked for her once and she mentioned that often.

I have nothing to contribute just yet. I would just say that, upon reading this about Maxime, I reacted with a gasp, my hand held over my mouth, and a small trickle of tears. I guess that shows how real people are on the Internet, even when they know each other only through cyberspace. I am profoundly sad. Maxime was very likeable and a hard worker. She suffered.

I smiled whenever I saw her name posted on the board. I guess that means something.
I am still profoundly sad.

Thanks for passing along this information. I am very sorry indeed to read this. I know she suffered so badly and wish she could have known better days. She seemed like a really good soul.

me and maxime used argue with eachother for a couple years, we disagreed on alot and faught with eachother but eventually in about 2007 i became friends with here on babble, i didnt want anymore friction between us....god, i can't believe it....i've been asking where she is....i posted stuff.....i can't believe it, she almost became a close friend in the end of our conversations in 2007....
Maxime you soul will be rerembered and I will look up and rerember everything you posted. Even the disagreements. I still am sad....she was a good person, and understanding even through her hard battle with depression and self hatred that helped me learn about her and some of myself.

I was so sad to hear about this. Her presence here added so much, and the story of her struggles was so poignant.
I especially enjoyed getting to know her more personally in chat, and I will be forever grateful for her teaching me the French name for the traditional French Canadian dish my family enjoys every holiday season.
Au revoir, Maxime, a truly beautiful soul.

Maxime was a good friend to many here, me certainly, and I felt her departure from babble keenly. Extraordinary? Yes, yes she was. I admired her wit and intelligence that belied her depression. Her compassion and fierce defense of the underdog.
I don't know what else to say right now.

Then there was her love of more earthy humor that would make me snort whatever I might be drinking through my nose....

Maxime & I had an on and off relationship. We were close at times and then separate. She endured many hardships both with work and her Mother. How did you come to find out of Maxime's Untimely death? May her soul rest in piece. Love Phillipa

Thank you for telling us, Dr. Bob.
Oh, I just don't know the words.
She once posted something so kind and supportive to me on the Eating board. I'd link to it, but obviously I can't.
I'm still processing this. I used to pray for Maxime. I always worried....but you figure there is always hope :-(
I can't think straight about this yet. I'll try to post something coherent after I can take a full breath when I think of this. Not right yet though.

Phillipa,
Don't you think that if Dr. Bob wanted to share such sensitive and private details, he probably would have done so in his initial post? He normally says what he has carefully decided to say, especially in matters as serious as a poster's death, and then no more.
Do you really imagine he will answer questions about this here? I don't.
Why don't you email him if you have questions? I don't mean to be difficult or to pick on you, but Dr. Bob asked if we could remember and say goodbye, not discuss this aspect.
I find these questions jarring to read here.

I am not lying when I say I thought to myself, just the other day, "I wonder how Maxime is doing?"
This is so disheartening. I hope she found peace.

I never got too much into the meds page, but I certainly remember her.
I remember thinking that she suffered a lot, and I know a lot of people here cared about her.
I'm sorry that it turned out this way.

I remember how much pain she was always in. Sometimes she said she couldn't go on. I remember trying to find ways to say that there was hope and that her life could be different. But sometimes I found it hard to believe because the pain seemed so palpable and suffocating in her writing. She really could make you feel the immediacy of it-- how much she suffered and how relentless it was.
I remember once when she lost a job.
It's awful if it never got better.

i've sent her messages a year ago and never got a reply back, i knew something was going on because she wanted me to contact her :(
Posted by rjlockhart37 on January 12, 2013, at 21:14:48
you know all the arguements and fights i got in it with her....she was a vary nice person in the end when i became .. maybe somewhat friends...i stopped being negative and deragotory to her...there's many many many more posts but this is the post that was on google search with my name on it....everyone on the net can read this....i need to get it removed....
this all started in 2004 and arguements and friction lasted i think till....what 2008-2009? i don't know. She was a good poster and provided info and support to others even when she was suffering herself.

I remember her, She fought so hard, for So long.
She had such a strong personality.
I had hoped that she was well as reason for no posts.
Her manner of death doesn't matter to me.
She is gone. I feel a pain of sadness in my chest.
I will light a candle for her that she may have eternal peace. she Certainly deserves it.
Bless you Maxime, thank you for touching my soul.b2c.
