The floodgates have re-opened.
I have been a wreck all day. Yesterda reading 'their' plan, in their mad scramble to dampen the wrath of the purple army after the announcement of no PP tours, then only on the 6, 8 & 14...to put Prince 'artifacts' on display at the GD MOA. That didn't sit right with me at all. Am I the only one? The idea that they're reducing him to objects as if that's what were why/what we are/were going to PP for. And I also wish they would stop and think What Would Prince Do/want - because while I didn't know him PERSONALLY I'd be willing to wager he sure AF wouldn'tw any his things carted around Minneapolis and put on display in a mall. But maybe that's just me
Today, with the clips, images and quotes of the Today show interview... I find myself absolutely gutted all over again. The images of the way they have things set up ... Just sent a dagger of heartache. It really was reality kicking me in the shin with cleats! He's. Gone.
And no, I haven't been in denial this whole time. I actually thought I was making some progress, not crying as often as before. But today I can't seem to keep it together. Dance where y'are, just groove y'all.

I'm struggling today too. My head is spinning. It's all just coming at me too much, too fast maybe. Idk but I've been out of sorts all day and can't get my s*** together with Prince so heavy on my mind and in my heart. Hugs to you!!! It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN | |

This has hit me hard too. But I have this feeling which is hard to explain. I'd be more at peace knowing he had an undisclosed illness (assuming that's what this was) than he just got hooked on painkillers for whatever reason. I wonder if the family will ever really share more or if this is it. Paisley Park is in your heart

Who would be in a hurry to get to rehab if something was killing you. There was a rumor two years ago that he was in the hospital for Sepsis and KJ said in the search warrant that in was in the hospital for treatments. | |

FP, we got you! Today, I even felt pushed back in dealing with this. It's probably for the best we hear this now than during our time in MPLS. Hold strong. We're together in this thing. Welcome home class. We've come a long way. - RIP Prince | |

Seems a bit odd that she would say she's had two years to prepare for him overdosing on painkillers. Her comments came across to me more like a terminal illness or something.

I'm broken in pieces right now. I've never commented on his death here before. I come here (half the time not feeling worthy) only to enjoy him as I struggle with my regrets and guilt of missing out on so much of him in the past few years, but today has blown me away emotionally. I watched the video so casually not expecting anything but some info on the opening of PP and the tours, only to hear Tyka casually mention that she'd known for two years that he was dying. Every time I think the pain is subsiding.. Something else. I just can't anymore. He's gone. I can't bring him back. To be honest I'd rather hear nothing else.. I can't deal with the roller coaster.

And she did eventually get that call. It is very confusing. My issue with the drug thing is he was still working and performing, doing interviews and going on awards shows etc. I struggle with him being able to do all that if he was off the rails on drugs to the point where people were fearful he'd OD. That just doesn't add up to me. Paisley Park is in your heart

She might be just talking about a two year drug addiction that she knew he was unwilling to kick due to just being exhausted and in physical pain. He might not have known when he was going to die but he might have known that his prospects for a long life were few--thus the reason for continuing to work and look forward to smaller projects in the next couple years but still winding down a bit with more intimate smaller concerts.
I don't know what to make of Tyka's contradicting statements. But maybe her 90% denial, 10% maybe statement from this morning was more referring to the last two years. And her saying that percentage has flipped more recently is the way in which she has been mourning since he died...acceptance with no surprise (along with sadness).
Or maybe Tyka just does not know what she feels.

I just wish he would have gotten properly cared for no matter the condition. It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN | |
