I still can't believe it. Someone wake me and tell me it's just a bad dream... Can't eat, can't sleep. I hope he knew how great a part of our lives he was....from lonely teenager to a grown man.....tears in my eyes all day | |

I too am a grown man with a wife, kids, profession, etc. But I have to tell you, I was, and still am, crushed about this. This hit me so much harder than I could have ever imagined. I am pretty stoic with emotions, but I have been reduced to tears multiple times!! What I have told people and responded when folks have reached out to me has been, I know it may sound weird to you, but I feel like I just lost a very close friend. To me, a friend is someone who helps you celebrate the good times, helps you through the bad times and can be the source of many good times and fond memories. And so with that "definition" in my mind, Prince fit those criteria for me. I am grounded and know that he did not know me from Adam, but this loss has caused me deep and profound sadness to my core. I so needed the .org to be up and going yesterday as I needed to express my feelings with people who could relate and understand. So just know that there are others right here with you and for me, musically, I am not sure where I go from here. His shows were the standard for which I use to judge others which is probably not fair to most others. So, big hugs to you and all of my Prince fan brothers and sisters. | |

. I wish I could Peppeken. It's just our darkest hours. In months when we have healed though in years we will never forget him, our love will only grow stronger. It's just too painful now though to truely register. Take care "Free URself, B the best that U can B, 3rd Apartment from the Sun, nothing left to fear" Prince Rogers Nelson - Forever in my Life - | |

Same here. I cried out loud for the first time my father died, which is 9 years ago this very day... But now the first aweful shock is gone and I try to look forward. We all should be strong and happy Prince touched our lives. | |

Every time I pull up cnn or a news site and there are headlines about Prince, it does seem like a bad dream. It is very difficult to process and accept.
But yes this is a loved one dying and it will just take time to deal with it better, although we will never be totaly over it. [Edited 4/23/16 4:20am] | |

I feel the same. I've cried so much since I heard the news. still can't believe it's real. He's been part of my life since I was 8 years old and it's like I've lost a part of myself. The strange thing is that my family are just carrying on with life as usual and I'm sat here dealing with this tremendous grief alone.I'm a grown woman with husband and children but I feel like I've lost a best friend  | |

I cannot handle it. I have been unable to bring myself to listen to him yet because it is too painful. I start breaking down.
The fact that he saturates the airwaves at this point makes going out in public and facing the world very challenging. I am sequestered and tucked away until Monday.
Hopefully I will have a grip then.
It's not a dream, but I wish it was.

We all should be strong and happy Prince touched our lives. My tears won't stop, this shock cannot be the end when we are here for each other. I hope and pray the news of his departure is not another shock. Loved and adored him as you all do. It is comforting to know who weren't fans are now. But we have always been. It is agonizing To be on this site which I too have been away but knowing he was here listening to his words his appearances thru the years, love you all my sincere condolences are empty words, continue to love and listen for he is truly all around Us now, Pat Caltabiano Brooklyn | |

you all are not alone.. I had this empty feeling in my stomach since I found.. Prince's music was a part of my daily routine.. and now I kinda feel flustered and confused.. its truly like losing a close friend... I think alot of us always thought he'd always be here somewhere performing or working in the world.. its just surreal that we cant travel to a concert or paisley park and see him perform again... very jarring for me.. | |

Thursday evening I was crying hysterically.
Friday (somehow I had rescheduled my appointments and had nothing that day, how weird is that?) I spend on fb, watching video snippets and sharing.
The pain and grief is so real. 99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |
