Heartbreaking

The five stages of grief, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Not linear, you can bounce around.

I am still in the anger stage, waiting to know more and to hear from his inner circle. something.

Im certain they and all his other close circle of friends are feeling super guilty right now.. P shouldn't have been dying all alone in that elevator

It feels like that gates are about to open and we will start to hear from friends colleagues and confidants soon.

Van Jones and Tamron both were crying and said , in all sincerity IMHO, that they felt guilt right now

Yeah that's understandable, just watched an interview with Van saying Prince was always there when people needed him. But when he needed them noone was around.

That must break their hearts into pieces.

Its kind of pisses me off too.. the same with MJ.. where were all these friends in his last days? Im not famous.. but if i get the slightest illness I know have people in my life who love me enough to check on me if Im home alone..

Perhaps even his closest friends and associates were so respectful of his privacy and his boundaries that they figured they'd keep their distance unless he requested them.

its soooo fucking heartbreaking..my goal and wish was to take my daughter to see hm this year and she was lookign forward

Agree with you. He had a major OD 6 days earlier on a the plane.

Physically he should NOT have been left alone as his body was struggling.

Where was the family?

Where was the friends?

Where was the staff?

It was him in an elevator with 2 doves floating around Paisley.

I saw the two very touching and emotional interviews with Van Jones but who is Tamron?

One thing that really disturbs me about big celebrities like Prince and Michael Jackson: these guys were stubborn and wouldn't listen to good advice.When Prince's plane made that emergency landing in Illinois,the doctor wanted Prince to stay overnight ("he was in dire condition",it was reported) but Prince insisted on leaving.I heard that Michael's family tried to help him several times,but he ignored their attempts to intervene It's possible that some of the people in Prince's camp tried to help him,but he simply refused to listen to them.

depression and acceptance for me. I thought he'd live 4ever, outlive me and im 40.

Im so sad that he was alone in an elevator in his final moments. Someone who gave so much, its only now coming out the work he was doing with Van Jones and what those shows were really about.

That's what I was thinking. Prince wasn't one to be compliant. That attitude worked well for him in the music business, but when it comes to your health, it's better to be safe than sorry.

i hear u

i hit an angry phase of trying to understand the HELL just happened.. between when I was so close to him in Oakland a few weeks ago to now...

I hate thinking he died of an overdose like all the other rock stars... I thought he was better than all that....

AND THEN, if I put the JW piece into all this.. I just get so upset... And I dont want to jump to any wrong conclusions and go off the deep on about JW and LG like I have so many times....

I just want him back.. I want to go on this new adventure he was going to take us on... I want to share it with Purple Family and The Org...

I thought this Piano & Mic tour was just the start of something beautiful...

I cant even tell you if I am writing in full sentences, i am just out of my mind with sadness..

I love him so much.... His music helped a scared little gay boy realize that there was a different world where I did not have to live feeling ashamed of myself. I will never be able to tell him THANK YOU for saving that little boy's life... THANK YOU for giving me a key out of where I was....

I hurt for him right now.. to die alone when he was so loved.... i hope for a brief moment that maybe at the very end he thought of us all .. and knew what a change he made on the world... and it was OK to go

The big question for me...How could the Illinois hospital NOT give Prince a private room? Wtf

yeah, i mean, just wheel a bed into an office somewhere on the floor, you know. jeez.

it's good that they treat everyone equal and go 'same procedure for everyone'. but if one

of your patients turns out to be prince, in serious trouble, telling you he'll walk if he can't
be in a private room, surely you can manage to improvise. just put him and his crew in a

janitor office or something, you know so many things in this story are just depressing.

Larry was never a real friend. He used Prince IMO. IF P had said NO 'I am not into religion', Larry would have NEVER been around.

Agreed. None of this is making a lot of sense right now.

You are so right keenly? Especially on the 1st 2 sentences!

Yes indeed. Along with hurring up and cremating Prince!!!
