Tears go here. Right. fucking. here.

I have been here on earth for a long time, a bit longer than Prince was, and much longer than many who post here. In terms of loss, this is the saddest experience I can ever remember having gone through. I've lost family members, I've lost beloved pets, I've lost friends, but this is the worst loss of them all. I can't explain why, but that is exactly how it feels. I know there are a few here who know what I mean.

I generally don't expect much, but do me a favor here, would you? If you feel inclined to mock me, poke at me, or take a dig, or try to make me feel worse, would you look past this post and just choose not to do it?

Oh my goodness...this wasn't meant for anyone in particular.

I know that. But I said what I felt when I read it.

Sometimes when listening to one of my fav Prince albums I get this sinking feeling and I don't feel good. Prince is dead and he died from the biggest OD in rock history (at least I have never heard of anything close). It's shitty, shitty, shitty. Other times though I'm at peace and I listen to Sign, DM or Lovesexy and I know Prince is never gone ,he will ALWAYS live on in his music and spirit. We are the ones keeping his memory alive. That's what I thought after reading the OP, "gone" means different things to different people.

I certainly know what you mean, Mumio. I've experienced the same losses as you describe but Prince's passing is the worst. Absolutely the worst. It gets better but I can only watch the videos for so long before I start to feel the hurt come on and have to stop. It's gonna be a l-o-n-g time before I can say 'I'm over it.' I feel better since I went to Paisley Park, that helped immensely, but there's still a residue of pain.

Thanks for saying those words- I have thought them. I am very close to the same age as Prince, and this loss hurts. (Maybe because we are starting to feel the mortal coil come closer.) I have enjoyed participating in this forum; but some folks are almost mean. Peace to you, and all others looking for a little comradeship here.

I dont see him as gone,

He is here in another Form....

Its etheric,

but his Presence is most certainly seeping its way into the collective consciousness

I'm 6 years older than prince was. i've been going to his concerts and movies and participated in everything Prince for over 35 years now. When i realise that I will never in this lifetime go to see him perform again. I know that it is because he is really and truly GONE.

Aaaargh!! I just signed onto the site and the main page says in big magenta letters:

" Prince has been gone for...."

I respectfully request the word "gone" be removed.

Thank you.

i still grieve him too. but, i believe he made a quantum leap to the next dimension. he'll never be 'gone', just not here with us any longer.

Yes. Another good one. "I am Violet the Organ Grinder and I grind all the live long day I live for the organ, that I am grinding I'll die, but I won't go away" Many associates of Prince have described having very lucid dreams or waking moments where he is there. This continues to happen.

Since his passing I've been having the most vivid dreams, messages, many of which have come true, even with people I didn't know before. And in one of the first dreams he told me to remember the lyrics of 'Violet'.
