Neither am I.....neither was Prince.

His loss is as profound to me as losing my blood brother. That's just the way it is.

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

I am at the "Acceptance" stage. With the understanding that I\it is not to say that I no longer feel the vast array of emotions brought on by Prince's passing on, but I am ready to embrace the idea that I am reaching a new point in my life. At this point, I am beginning to understand that there is a new beginning on the horizon.

But by NO means will I ever forget uncle P.

I don't know what the stages are, but I'm still sad.

We had dinner last night with some not-that-close friends and a lady said, "I know you're upset about Prince. Can you believe he was hooked on drugs?"

That made me really mad.

A close friend would have know better.. It seems like you didn't open a can of verbal whoop ass on her.

I guess I've moved on and accepted it. It still feels odd and somewhat sad if I really stop and think about it but heck, a lot has happened in my life over the course of those 6 months. The part I find myself still the most puzzled with is the part that says the story's over: no matter what we get from the vault, the journey ended with an album titled HitnRun Phase 2, a studio track titled Ruff Enuff and a live rendition of Black Sweat on piano.

I have to say I usually react well to death, I move on quite quickly when people die.

I kind of did. But she's the type that would absolutely believe something she read in a tabloid versus what someone with experience and knowledge on the subject tells her. I knew that, so I just kind of vented for my own good.

Today is six months since we lost our Prince. We are all heartbroken and mourning the lost of such a great legend. I feel sadness because I know he is gone forever. The pain of loss cuts deep. There will never be another like him, but on the other hand, he left us all such a wonderful gift, a gift of music, which I shall cherish and hold near dear to my heart, always.

.

He is gone in the flesh, but will always be here with us in spirit. He had such an incredible energy and spirit, and that will never fade away. Music is just not the same without him. He was a pure genius & one of a kind. We were all so blessed to have him share his god-given gift with us. Whenever I hear a guitar, piano, drums; a funky beat, or that Prince scream (ohhh).....I will always think of Prince.

.

I'm so grateful that Prince was a part of my generation. He helped define a generation of music and beyond. His music is timeless. He will be remembered not only for his incredible music, his hair, fashion, but also for the wonderful human being he was. I miss his smile, his laugh. He was just an amazing person, in so many ways. He left us much too soon.

.

It's only been six months, but in time, the pain will be less, and we will be able to remember him with a "smile" and not a "tear". He has no more pain. He is in God's hands now. Love you, forever, PRN prince heart

I cried every day for two weeks, then that stopped and i was just sad for another two weeks. Im past it now. Ive accepted that he's gone.

Now im mad at the stupidity of it all. Black market pills. No answers.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

As it happened, I was listening to the first show of the Atlanta Piano & A Microphone sets Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning. About midway through the set, I realized I was actually at the depression stage. This struck me as odd, as I was sure I was at the acceptance stage as early as April 21, since I had the incredible opportunity to attend both ATL shows (1st set in the balcony, 2nd set in the front row), plus shake his hand after the final encore of his final performance.



In fact, once I got the news on 4/21, I never bothered with the first three stages (anger, denial and bargaining), but listening to the show transported me back to that evening in Atlanta, where, even then, I felt a profound sadness at the beginning of the first show, which I think was largely brought on by the intro (Confluence) and it's mostly melancholy undertones. I'm sure this stage for me will be quite temporary relative to where a lot of Orger's were six months ago (or even presently) since I have always understood death as part of the life cycle and accepted deaths of family and friends immediately.



I'm curious to know where are you at within the five stages of grief at the six month mark of Prince's transitioning.



Celebrate his life not his death. Also realize that he may be in a better place.



Good point! As I suspected, the depression was quite temporary.

Good for you! clapping

I've ended a couple of friendships with people after I told them off....then I realized that I should have done it before now anyway.

One more thing I can thank Prince for.

Yea, me too. My Husband can't believe how hard I'm taking this. I said "ME?" You should see some other people on the Org -- they are even more upset than I am!! For real.

We are all trying to get through this -- it's SO hard. sad
