I would like to thank you all at Bungie for helping me

I have recently finished Episode 4 of the Sever Mission. I am not going to lie, Episode 3 was very triggering for me personally as my wife and I lost our son, Sionnach, just over 2 years ago to a genetic condition that he was born with, Revesz Syndrome. To explain it in short terms, his light was almost gone out when he was born. He was given 3 months to live. He stayed with us for 18 months. I understand that Trauma of losing a child. The Story that lead me through Zavala's pain of losing his child reverberated with me greatly however it did help me to face my own Nightmares. It helped me to face the fear and pain that my wife and I face every day. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for telling a story of that pain, without sensation, without gloss. It is a pain many of us face in light of recent events and it was told extremely well. I would sincerely appreciate these thanks to be forwarded to the Development Teams involved and to the Actors who told the story through their voices. Their honesty is greatly appreciated! So good night from Ireland, and to all those who face these Dark Times I will say this, You are not alone. Our Light is stronger together and don't be afraid of the Nightmares. Face them. Face them with courage and Face Them together. A Night is only the coming of another Dawn. Goodnight, to all of you. With Love, Blackthorn#6808

    It has become clear to me that a reply to this thread has spiralled off. I originally replied to someone trying to make it clear that in my own opinion, using a post that expresses that the feelings of losing a child to attack members of the Destiny Community using the phrase "spit roasting 12 year olds" was in incredibly bad taste and gave them time to retract that statement. After that, it seems that this encouraged them. I was accused of threatening them and apparently reported to the Admins here for these apparent threats. Since then, I can see nothing of the ensuing discussion as after these were repeated to me via a private message, I reported that user for harassment and blocked them. It seems to me that that ongoing tirade of bile has continued. Again I cannot see what has been said but I have received notifications of replies to myself directly accusing me repeatedly of glorifying the loss of my 18 month old child here. That is too much. That is beyond the Pale. So I am taking this opportunity to end this right here. I have requested that an Admin lock this thread. I want to thank everyone who has reached out with words of support. I'd also like to personally thank those of you who have shared your own pain. You are not alone. I hope that after locking this thread, everyone can take a step back from the abyss and take some time to consider the implications of this. To think about what the ramifications of words can have on people, especially those suffering from the eternal emotional pain of loss. May your Light guide you out of whatever Darkness you are in. With Love, Always, Blackthorn#6808 ❤️
