Grief How would you all describe I guess the way you feel and or felt? Has it subsided? Gone? Worse? Can you define why or how you felt it? Tilikum1983 | |

I was pretty numb the 1st two years. Upset but mostly in shock. I just stopped following information about Prince/estate. I could only take the news in small doses. I thought I was ok but, no, all the feelings welled up and came to the surface when I saw his death photos and heard details of the Investigation. I don't know, these things have a tendency to rear their head again until you deal with them, so I guess you just have to go through the grief.  [Edited 7/14/18 19:17pm] | |

It just makes me sad. Someone with all that talent, being taken down by stupid opiods. It just makes me depressed. | |

Initially shocked. Like I got blindsided by a truck. Didn't want to believe it. Prayed for it to be a bad dream. It was hard to get past the overwhelming feeling of the senselessness of it, that it was totally preventable, it shouldn't have happened. There was deep heartache for a long time, but the intensity has subsided. I had to work hard to find the joy in listening to his music again. But I will be listening to Prince and supporting his legacy for the rest of my life. That has to be enough now. 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 | |

I think Prince when peaceful, so I have peace with it. No More Haters on the Internet. | |

I remember coming back home and the TV was on and I saw two cop cars leave Paisley Park. I didn't recognize the building at first so I thought: "Maybe another terror attack" since that one in Paris happened only a few months back. Anyway, I walked into the living room and they said: "Prince is dead."
And everytime I read his name my brain shut down. I just couldn't believe it. I mean, I heard about the emergency landing and all, but I thought everything was okay, since that's what's been said, right? I was totally numb the rest of the evening, I sat on the couch and I remember there were so many documentaries about him, but I can't remember the context of them. It was as if my brain paused for that day and wouldn't let me get the info out of these docus.
I cried two days later when I was sitting alone on my laptop. I listened to Kiss and just started crying. But the whole impact hit me this year after watching a tribute video on FB. As if I finally fully realized that he's really gone.
I don't think I'll ever be able to fully accept it. I will never ever forget him. [Edited 7/15/18 12:02pm] | |

It's never a good feeling when your favourite singers die. I was probably more upset when Michael Jackson died though because I was 19 when he died and at that point had never had anyone close to me die. So his death had an impact on me. But my mother died two years prior to Prince so by the time of Prince's death, I had experienced real tragedy so the death of a celebrity kind of pales in comparison. I was still upset about it but I quickly got over it. Besides, Prince's death didn't come as much of a shock. I thought he looked bad at the Grammys and after the incident on the plane, I said to my cousin that he wouldn't be around by the end of the year.
I suppose I might have felt worse had I not had the chance to see him in concert twice and even meet him afterwards for a (very brief) chat. But, like I told my ex when I seen how much Prince's death upset him, we still have thousands of Prince songs to remember him by. There's no point in grieving him when you can celebrate him.

Never felt grief. My feeling was more like: died from what? Then the realization it was suspicious circumstances. And those who did...are free. And likely profiting from his work as we speak. | |

I feel a bit better now. Now grandson died a month ago so it just feels like I've fallen in a pit that I can't climb out of. | |

His death touched me profoundly and I'm still not sure why. | |

I still have a difficult time listening to his music. I use to go to shows and PP some and in recent years I didn't but then I flew out to PP a few months before he passed. I saw Prince last time at PP. I had plans to go see him as I heard he would do more piano shows at PP. I just feel sad when I hear music but recently it hasn't been as bad. I don't see the point of going out live to music that covers Prince. Not without him here. I would go see the Time. What are you outraged about today? CNN has not told you yet? | |
