you get help. marvin gaye called bob marley a Prophet, no one told him to get help. there was a mystique with prince, our great artists truly are prophetic. bob dylan recently said that america was doomed because of the sin of slavery, that is a prophecy, prince said things that came to pass too.

The prior mention of crying often (and considering the impact on spouses and other family members after five months) will cause unintended consequences that may be prevented if effective action is taken timely.

Yes, he moved us each personally for a very long time.

Yes, that grief should be expressed and relieved.

Yes, there is structured help available for the sake of those affected.

Explore those grief coping & learning avenues in your real, day-to-day life, beyond what other org members' words of support can effectively offer you.

So important. You may well be able to help another down the road if you learn about your grieving process now. XO

What a compassionate and kind response. What a loving heart you have, StopIt, and it shines out via your posts. I know I appreciated your kind words to me about the post I made where I shared good memories connected to Prince, and where I shared some info that I hoped other fans might find interesting as they continue to learn about, and look for ways to feel close to, this amazing person who has left us. Here again are your kind words to me, another fan who feels grief and is trying to find ways to heal - thank you for showing me such caring and compassion. smile heart

I relate to so much of what I'm reading here. I have never heard of or experienced anything like this before. As soon as he passed on, I felt an unusually heavy sense of loss and grief, but more profoundly I felt a change within myself that's hard to explain. I am now beginning to believe this change is becoming permanent - and my spiritual practices and meditations are deeper and stronger with more determination. I feel a strong deep connection to this person whom I never knew or met.

I have come to believe that Prince was/is not ordinary in any sort of way. He seems to have an unusually strong presence/vibration, - perhaps even stronger than when he was incarnate. I wonder just "what" or "who" is Prince?

You are not alone at all.



I just wrote this somewhere else and I share here as well.



It is 5 months later and still in a great deal of pain. Prince's death has fundamentally changed me. Oddly enough I think his death so unexpected and heartbreaking was another of his gifts to us. Everyone was changed.



It greatly expanded my heart chakra. The pain was intense and spiraled down to the deepest center of my heart and kind of burst it open. A physical pain. He feels like part of the DNA in my heart now. I can't separate him.



In not being able to separate him, or let him go, I realize I don't have to. He's in my heart in literal way. Like he's going to live there forever ALIVE as he ever was. And in many ways I feel so much closer to him than before because he's always with me.

He
was steaming qualities of the 5th dimension- LOVE in all forms including sexual and spiritual, joy, fun, childlike, creative, being in the now, peace, soverignty. . That vibe that he was streaming- now streams from my heart - through him.



He was/is much more than a regular soul. He had a great spiritual purpose and fulfilled it. His last gift- the pain that causes our hearts to transform. If you are in any way metaphysical you understand that he was bringing us to exactly where gaia is going- 5D.



I'm so greatly humbled by his life, his music and the gifts that he's given that I am overwhelmed with love for him. Daily. I close my eyes and say to him "Namaste, and thank you."



It's exaclty like this photo posted here so beautifully. This little man who came with such a HUGE extraordinary spirit. The tree is the real photo of Prince here.







[Edited 9/21/16 17:41pm]




Yes to all of this - and so beautifully said! He most certainly he has fulfilled a hugh spiritual role.

True. But there's "grieving" and then there's "over-the-top overreacting".



Indulge me in a little thought experiment...



I know if I died, my mother would grieve for me to the same degree that I would grieve for her if she died.



Such a mutual degree of grieving is eminently fortellable.



Now. If you'd have died when Prince was alive, and if he'd heard about your death in the news, to what degree do you think Prince would grieve for you compared to how you grieve for him?



Wow, this is a bad post. Ignorant, and just bad.

Yah, that's just Phatphuk being... well, a fat f*ck. cartman

Still grieving. NBC News anchor Tamron Hall continues to mourn the loss of her close friend Prince, who died in April from a prescription drug overdose.

PHOTOS: Celebrity Deaths in 2016: Stars We’ve Lost

"It was a devastating surprise," she told host Andy Cohen during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday, September 21.

The Today's Take host, 46, said she "had no idea" that the Grammy winner had a substance abuse problem, even though she'd spent "a significant amount of time" with him.

Yah, I agree. It's just so strange to feel so strongly about someone I never met. Not too many other people understand this empty pain that just keeps hanging on. He obviously meant way more to us than just an extremely talented entertainer. It's something much deeper and I can't quite put my finger on it. I feel that I can figure out what "this" is, then maybe I can start to let go of this pain and deep sorrow, topped off with regret that I didn't go see him more than I did. My loss... sad

I read your think piece and I thought it was honest, humorous, insightful and uplifting. It all helps us to heal and I see you're doing what you know how to do, to cope. Writing about it somehow releases it from your grasp and sends it out to the Universe (where Prince probably is).

Oh my Lord, you are so not alone. Not a day passes that I don't grieve for him. This forum has been my sanctuary. I can't figure out why I hurt so much, but, I do.

I wish this was all a dream. I feel his spirit sometimes.....

I look at his pictures and finally now able to look at his videos, %99 of them only seeing for the first time after his death, but still I am in disbelief. I mean, I know he died it's real but I'm still in shock. I'm over the feeling of loss and the grief, I've got a good life, great family, friends and a job I'm happy at and I've got great support team for when times like this I must face. I'm in more disbelief that I will never see him again. I've been praying for his soul, and I think my grief is more that he died not only alone, but lonely. That bothers me the most. A person can be in a room filled with family and friends and know they're not alone but still have that lonely feeling. I've been lucky to have my Prince moments having met him quite a few times, talked with him and even so close that when he spoke to me he had his hand on mine such an intimate moment. I really did like him. I remind myself every day that he is gone, he no longer exist and that I need to now move on.

I'm not trying to be funny. But you — and others experiencing the same kind of "suffering" as you — seriously should not rule out seeking professional counseling.



Do yourselves a favor.

Are you for real, or, just a sh*t stirrer looking to provoke fans? You know exactly what you're doing and it's transparent.

Essay :

To Be Yourself Completely: The Collective Grief of Losing Prince

http://www.onbeing.org/blog/to-be-yourself-completely-the-collective-grief-of-losing-prince/8640#.V-dL93zncft.facebook

Looking in on my life, people around me sees the deep grief I am experiencing to be about a man I never met. I am very aware through my continued sobs that I mourn the fact that I had let the Purple and Sparkle die in my life some 20 years ago... listening to his music now has connected me to the "body emotion and memories" of the hopes, dreams and ambition I had before *I LET* life drape me in browns, grays and muted pastels. I look in the mirror at the dowdy overweight 60 yr old I have become and mourn for the life I let slip through my fingers.
And, not to let his meaning to my life go to waste, I have already begun to start erasing dowdy from the who_that_I_am now...

and here is another comment posted by someone else...

I am just realizing the astounding and mysterious ways that Prince served the Lord,combined with his tremendous love for others. There are no coincidences possible to explain the spiritual messages,or the circumstances behind everything he did,and said, over the course of his career. Millions of people, including myself have been listening non stop to his live performances that are now available on you tube. It just seems like a music lovers perfect paradise,a sudden bounty of musical beauty,but it is much more. There is no accident behind the genius of forbidding it til his death. Many are hearing the message at the exact right time to help change the world. As far back as the eighties,there are spiritual gems,and truths,in the songs.The live performance of AnaStecia for instance. Many thousands deeply moved singing out loud.God is love,Love is God,girls and boys love the Lord. Annastacia means,reborn,ressurection. Gregory means Watchman! I hope others share,and comment. I am deeply moved,and grateful to Prince🙏🏽🎤

We've got a few mutual friends. I definitely knew who he was and if he'd seen me on the street or mall etc, he'd know me. I was very recognizable to him. I admit I liked that.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful article. It is a beautiful piece with a powerful inspiring message which resonates deeply with me. It calls for a lot of self reflection so I will save it to read again and reflect on what this aspect of Prince's legacy personally means to me.

every day, every single day. why him? why that way? life/god has a cruel sense of irony. I just watched a vid on youtube about paisley park, circa 88, where one guy raved about his work ethic saying he did more in one year than a lot of hardworking artists did in five. just a freak and a force of nature, why him? And if he could get lost somehow, what is the hope for the rest of us schmucks?


He was fucking poisoned. I'm angry . I will not shut up. I can't believe they would kill him either but then again , his beauty and God given anointed talent probably made them hate him more. Who ? Warners, Illuminati, Satan worshipers who rule this world. I don't care who thinks I'm crazy. I love Prince and when I think about letting it go, I look at him and decide I will not be silent. Prince was murdered. Now God allowed it to happen, why? Those kind of things we won't understand while we are on earth. cry
