Anyone else at the 'Anger' stage of grief?

For a week now I've been unable to process that Prince has passed. I can't play his music, haven't cried properly and I think I've just been stuck in shock mode. I'd been feeling uneasy the week before he passed thinking something bad was about to happen and I've never felt like that before ever about anyone!!

Today I've woken up full of anger. I'm not angry at Prince but at all the rubbish I'm seeing all over the news saying awful things about him.

Just now someone was posting about his Let's Go Crazy lyrics and the elevator on his last Instagram picture and I was literally screaming at my computer "IT'S DE-ELEVATOR.....YOU IDIOTS....DE-ELEVATOR....NOT AN ACTUAL ELEVATOR.....ARGH!!!"


I know it's not a big deal, but today I feel so wound up like I'm about to implode...

Is anyone else feeling like this?

Yes I'm getting more and more angry at the way things turned out. Angry at Prince for not being more careful with his health at the end, angry at his friends for not doing some kind of intervention with him...not even drug related, necessarily, but just that he needed to slow down some. But just angry that he is gone and it's not fair and not right. It is just WRONG and makes me angry.

I'm glad it's not just me. I feel like I just want to scream "IT'S NOT FAIR". Maybe I should just go and do that, find a quiet, remote place and just SCREAM because I hate feeling and hurting like this..... sad

Was NOT having it today at work. Letting some of the media bs play on my mind and I'm just worn out. I don't like being angry so I'm pledging to move through it quick as I can and work on being as creative and giving as I can be.

100% agree.

Anger at the media [especially TMZ & enquireer as well as the UK scum press],

anger at Wendy & Lisa posting stuff clips so soon of Head [come on where's the respect in that?], anger at old school fans dissing newer fans for tagging on to Prince [who the hell do they think they are?!],

anger at the revolution reforming days after his passing,

fury at the Vault being opened

bit of anger at prince for not sorting a wil out

Yes, I'm playing more of Prince 'aggresive' music, the Feline rehearsal, Computer Blue, Erotic City 6.7.1984 Darling Nikki etc

.

And I'm angry @ the smear columns and voice. I have a coworking who isn't a Prince fan who felt the need to say "well because of all the women he slept with he probably had AIDS" and then yesterday he felt the need to discuss the perscription pills. And all I wanted to do was take my computer screen and slam it it in his sagging face.

.

Then the Org members who are... I just better not go there.

.

I try not to think about the 'what if' concerning Prince's death. You know, "if he just would have slept between 11-6 instead of staying up' You need a good 6-7 hours the older you get etc That is when the real anger stage of grief tries to creep in.

I am trying to avoid the smear columns, can't believe what they are allowed to say with no actual evidence/proof


Oh and him not resting properly wound me up before he passed. I posted something elsewhere that I'd been feeling uneasy when he tweeted about having flu. so when he tweeted about having a party on the Saturday after the whole plane thing I was astounded ! I was thinking "What are you doing!" I know he didn't attend the party and stayed out the back, but come on, seriously!!

Really regret not tweeting him saying "What are you doing, you should be resting, flu is NO joke".

The what ifs are mounting but the anger I'm feeling is building....trying really hard to swallow it back down.

sad

I'm 100% angry with the media....not giving TMZ the time of day.

I live in the UK so it's not all over the papers or in the news everywhere I go but it's all over Twitter and some of the posts on Prince's Instagram are just beyond contempt....eurgh it makes me so angry & upset sad

I am angry that if the reports are true and he was unconsious on that plane that he didn't take it as a warning and do something about it. I feel it needn't have happened. Then I cry again. It's a roller coaster of emotion.
Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜

I feel angry that he was alone, that no one around him was making sure he was ok, especially in light of the emergency plane landing. Just the whole way it happened, how it seems as though it could have been preventable and, no matter what the reasons for his passing, that he was on his own. I can barely stand to think about it. The whole world loved him, most of us would have given our right arm to even be in his presence, and yet did no one close to him think that, no matter how insistent he was, that they should have been taking care of him and being around.
I feel annoyed, I feel powerless. I wish someone had taken care of him and looked after him, I wish he'd had someone he loved and trusted enough to allow them to do that. It's just tragic and I go around in circles wishing that we could turn back time and save him.

THIS is exactly what I have been feeling and thinking.
And I have a lot of anger about the vault being drilled through. Aggressively and violently. And for WHAT?!?!

Thank you for the gifts - we will all meet again, dear Prince.
