I think my grieving now is of the "What a waste" variety. Drugs? Prince? I am sad he could not live longer. Not for me, but for himself. I still cannot listen to certain songs, or watch Purple Rain. But he is in my thoughts every day.

It's a long process, I imagine it'll take me years not to feel it so much. I think about him a lot bheart

I make it a point to hear him everyday, as a tribute and to be inspired by his greatness. I think I'm past the grieving and sadness, and it took a while. I love him so much and I've accepted that he's now resting in paradise, where I hope to see him one day.

So true, it's a huge waste. I think if he had passed from natural disease it would be so much easier to accept. But to die of a drug overdose hours before help was to arrive is tragic.

It still stings.

I actually feel selfish. he gave us more music than virtually any other artist could during his time on earth......yet I feel robbed and I want more. Another 20 years of tracks and back tracks at least. he wouldnt have stopped....and we wouldnt have stopped listening.

Yes. Everyday I think of him and all I can think about is I can't believe he's not "somewhere here on earth" just like his song. I had visioned many times if I outlived him what would life be like when he transitioned. I just didn't think it would be this soon or the outcome. I'll never get over this or him.

Anniversary weekend of the Gala shows..... A year ago today was Larry Graham with Shelby J joining in.

Listening to the beginning of the early show and "Baby" in particular....

Everytime we hit the 20th/21st, it stings my emotions sad

Although I am not a fan of tributes, yesterday (1/21) I made myself attend a not so ordinary "tribute". It was a bunch of adolescent musicians who are part of a local school music program performing his songs. This was my way of honoring him and showing support for something he cared about. My highlights from this event was that they broke away from a cliche playlist, kids were playing "Guitar", "Musicology", "Alphabet St"(one of them even did Cat's rap, i was very surprised and impressed).

Later that night I listened to both PP Gala shows and I became overwhelmed with a rollercoaster of emotions. I deeply regret that I did not go last year cry bawl

Yes, but the DEEP grieving started lightening up around November. I could tell this past weekend I was a little emotional, even today. It had gotten to the point where I had to move his pictures upstairs so I wouldn't be greeted by the grief the moment I open my eyes in the morning. Tough decision, but my heart can't grieve that hard any more.

Welcome home class. We've come a long way. - RIP Prince

Yes, I'm still grieving. I miss him so much. It's not the same without him here on Earth. He lives on in the incredible music that he left us with, but it's not the same. I am going to make the trek to Paisely Park in May (cannot bring myself to be there in April!) to pay my deepest respects to his spirit and to thank him for being such a huge part of my life for over 30 years. His music was the soundtrack to my life, everyday. When a new album was released I would be there at the wrecca stow the first day, take it home and listen to it over and over, memorizing every song, wondering what certain lyrics meant. Starfish & Coffee? WTF? I was schooled in Prince! A part of me died when he passed, there is an empty part in my heart and soul that will never be filled. Each day I wake up knowing that he's gone, Each day is easier but will never be the same. I lost a 'friend' on 4/21/16. Someone who never judged me and showed me that love is the answer to everything. I pray that he has found Peace. Lord knows he's making some serious funky music in Heaven!!!!!

No; I am no longer smarting over his passing. I never knew him intimately or personally. All
I had of him was his music which is still with me.

I am still so sad. Can't get him out of my head or heart. Can't really talk about it because I'm not sure people would understand who don't share the connection. But nice to know there are others here who feel the loss as deeply as I do

When I think about it, yes. But most times I treat it as if he is here like normal. I didn't see him all of the time anyway. I just wanted music. His music is so intricate that each listen reveals something new. So thanks to him, I will have enough music to keep him alive in my ears. At least long enough until I'm gone.
