It is with a heavy heart that I am posting a message about Eiwynn’s passing. Her spouse emailed me…
My thoughts are a bit of a jumble at the moment, but Eiwynn was a better friend than I deserved. I know she forgave me when I failed on our collaboration efforts, and I hoped to actually finish something with her this coming year. Unfortunately that opportunity has gone, as well as saying a lot of other things I meant to do.
This is really sad to hear. I didn’t know her personally but I have replied to her in the Video Games thread every now and then over the years and she was one of the names I got used to seeing all over the forum.
I hope all of her friends like you, as well as her family, get through this.
I’m so sorry. I didn’t know her beyond interacting on the politics threads sometimes, but I really appreciated the insight and perspective she always brought.
She was a friend to me as well. We weren’t super close, but we emailed each other and sent each other supportive messages on the forum. I am in tears, thinking I’ll never see another wonderful kind message from her.
She was a pillar of this community. I know it wasn’t always easy keeping us all peaceful, organized, and engaged, but she did it with grace and aplomb. Her monthly Writer Support Threads consistently offered some of the best discussion to be had on this forum. Her positivity, enthusiasm, and level head will be missed.
I am sitting here in shock, trying to find words. Eiwynn’s kindness, thoughtfulness, and generous nature was one of my favorite things about this forum. She will be sadly missed. Sending love to her family and all who will feel her absence.
Very sorry to hear of her passing. I want to thank Eiwynn for all she did on here; the community will miss her more than can be written. Best wishes to her family and friends.
I don’t know what to say. I’ve gained so much from Eiwynn’s presence here on the forums, from some of my very earliest days. I was looking forward to reading Patchwerks, and finally doing the solid of paying back some of the valuable feedback she’d given to me, before.
I can’t believe she’s gone.
I hope her family and friends get all the support they need in this devastating time. May her memory be a blessing.
My most sincere condolences to her family and friends. I’ve seen her comments and threads only in passing, but the work she put into this forum, her thoughtfulness, and her beneficence were all plainly evident.
I’m not sure it’s sunk in yet. I’m genuinely having a hard time figuring out what to say.
Anything I can muster right now feels like a disservice, after the years we’ve known and interacted with each other and all the help and encouragement she’s given me. She was someone who always had a perspective worth respecting, someone who was a vital source of feedback, and someone I was honoured to call a friend.
I miss her, and in a few hours, when this seeps into my head and becomes a reality to me instead of just a thing I can pretend isn’t happening, I’ll miss her more.
Hello. I’m quite new to the choice of games community and I’m not quite enlightened on most of stuff happening here, but I’m sorry for the loss, If it’s okay for anyone, I would really like to know who Eiwynn was.
Eiwynn was probably my closest friend on this site, and I always enjoyed chatting with her, as well as helping with her projects which will sadly never come to fruitition. She was always a comforting and encouraging presence to me, as well as the first to recommend me for leadership and modship here.
My heart goes out her loved ones.
