I just feel...numb. The day Prince died was painful for me for more reasons than just hearing the news about him, but, I've just been playing his music pretty much nonstop since, and it's helped ease the pain...a little. | |

I am just mesmorised by all the performances of him on youtube right now...this one in particular I must of watched 5 times today.
Its so IMMENSE and my heart yearns for him to come back....I think its going to take a month or two before the sadness completely goes. The guy was just friggin amazing...

I still feel very sad and subdued, but am finding comfort in watching his vids and listening to his music. I've decided I don't want his death to remain pointless and distressing to me, I thought I would try and be inspired by him and finish an art project, or work on my photography, maybe create or achieve some small thing in his honour. I think we all have find what works for us in our own time..some will be able to move ahead quicker than others etc. and it's not a race or anything. I find it helps to get outside, maybe go for a walk. Try and hang in there and ride it out. | |

Horribly so. I stayed with a friend last night and she was flicking across the tv channels and sign o the times was on. We just started watching and I talked about the different band members. It was incredibly cathartic, but monumentally tragic. 'Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.'- Einstein

Yes, incredibly. The shock has worn off so the initial heart wrenching pain has passed, but the dark sadness lingers. 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 | |

It's weird because, it has hit me WAY harder than I ever expected it to. I have always been a Prince fan but since I didn't know him personally I never expected this feeling---- like someone that I absolutely KNOW has died. I can't sleep, first thing I think before going to bed or waking up, or even in the middle of the night is, "Prince is dead."  And then you couple that with the WAY he died, which I keep thinking about.. and.... awful... | |

And then you couple that with the WAY he died, which I keep thinking about.. and.... awful...exactly this. i'm trying to get inspired by what he left us, but the simple fact and the unclear and distressing circumstances are still just too much sometimes.

For the sake of comparison, I've had two aunts and a very loved dear neighbor pass away in the past few months, I was only able to go to one in the hospital and say my good bye. I mourned their deaths but didn't breakdown into hysterics and I didn't do the same over Prince. I've been on the cusp of crying but the feeling faded quickly, I feel it would be disingenuous to weep more over him whom I never had a personal meeting with and not do the same over the family members who I knew well.

sonshine said: Yes, incredibly. The shock has worn off so the initial heart wrenching pain has passed, but the dark sadness lingers. This for me also. I wake everyday to a realisation that he's not here anymore and feel it just can't be true. "It's not as though he was family" my own family say to me, but he's been part for my life since I was a young girl, so it's just like mourning a loved one. I know I didn't know him personally, or share a life with him, he just shaped me so much into the woman I am today and the way I live my life now. Many don't understand though. So yes, I think the sadness will linger in me forever. X <3 X |

Yes, every day when I wake up and I think of Prince, and that he's no longer here. | |

No so much sad but mostly angry at the circumstances and also half in denial. Still hasnt fully sunk in. Its very similar to when a close family member dies. You catch yourself almost forgetting. | |

Jesus, this is so great. What a mind fuck time this is. The MAN is gone only a few days AND loads of the most incredible footage is all over YouTube all at once. Serious mindfuck. There is pain but these are interesting times indeed. I am just floored by this footage. There CANNOT have been one greater - like ever in the history of man. [Edited 5/1/16 20:03pm] |

I have been in a deep depression since the news broke. I find myself hoping each morning that I am waking from a bad dream, and then I remember. I honestly don't know how to cope with something I didn't imagine happening. I am in denial about his death in one moment; in the other, I am cognizant of reality while still wishing it weren't true.
I have a strong belief in God, but times like these truly test my faith. "Please let everything You promised be true," I plead with Him. Especially with Prince gone, it's as if Jesus is asking, "Do you trust in me?" I answer "Yes," but the concept of death, even with the assurance of Heaven, still scares me. Prince summed it up:

Today was my 43rd birthday, and I just wanted to stay in my yoga pants and cry all day. It is hard starting year 43 knowing there will not be year 58 for Prince. I am just sad and it's not improving much. | |

Yes, and I didn't sleep at all on the nights of the 21st and 22nd. I have dreamed about him a lot the last week. He just shows up...dancing and not singing, but playing his guitar. Thankful for this forum, as I am a business professional facing this in a rural Arkansas community where his influence isn't as evident. You guys help me feel like my grief is normal.

Thank you for the gifts - we will all meet again, dear Prince. | |

Yep.....everytime someone says that word - you know the one - I'm like huh? Am I hearing things? That can't be? Am I in an alternate universe? Everything seems dulled in a way...you know when you swim under the water, you can hear sounds above but they are not crisp and sharp and when you look up toward the surface, you can see shapes but can't really make out what it is. It's kinda like that. I have had Prince music in my head all day - like a personal Prince radio channel. I think it might be my subconscience trying to "accept" that he really is no longer here. I just keep telling myself, it won't always be like this. it will be hard for a while and then not as hard....someday. Peace and Love. | |

I wake up wishing this was just a bad dream, then i have moments when i can't stop crying. It's hard for me eat and watch his video's. I'll be sad for a long time! I look forward 2 seeing Prince again in paradise, Revelation 21:3,4 You and me are like two ships passing
