Prince's music helped loss; what music helps you deal with his loss? I had to take a break from grief. I had many personal losses in the last couple of years and the loss of Prince just amplified that and opened wounds that hadn't healed.

It felt like I lost my best friend all over again (who passed last year) and my youth all in one blow. Prince's music always helped me get through the thick and thin, the good and bad, the happy and sad... But who is going to help me deal with his loss? Now, I find myself leaning on the music of musicians who lifted me up before I even knew about Prince. Such as Stevie Wonder's album "Songs In The Key of Life." Bruce Spirngsteen, too. George Clinton and Bootsie, who I saw both of last year... What are the songs who help you deal with the passing of Prince, who helped me deal with so many issues and the passing of friends and family ove the years... Please share here.When my husband passed away I listen to songs that made me wallow in it and made me get better. The wallowing songs were not by Prince because it was my husband's favorite music that made me relive the pain: let me be myself by 3 doors down, iris by goo goo dolls (our baby is iris) if you're gone by matchbox 30. Really hard lyrically for me but I tortured myself with them. Oh and The best of you (which is for fighters but also we know prince covered) and hero by for fighters. Prince helped me with the comfort and not so wallowy. Sweet baby- I could never take the place of ur man - nothing compares 2 u - sometimes entire albums. No matter the ©️, Paisley Park "official can never ™️  . He gave that to us verbally on Oprah in 1996. You can't take away from us, corporate. I mean O ( + > | |

I tried to listen to another music after his death ( for example- Lianna La Havas, she is great, I saw her in autumn) but I couldn't. I listen to him music, I cry but only his music can help me- I think. | |

Love songs. Actually it seemed like the radio station was sandwiching each Prince song they played last week between various classic love ballads and I noticed I felt a bit better singing with them so I continued them on my own. | |

I havent really been able to listen to any of his music much - and not even listened to Atlanta yet- I tried to listen to other artists but they all seem shallow now & it is like the music has gone out of my world Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜 | |

I've not been able 2 watch/listen 2 P 4 more than a min or 2 at a time. Haven't really been able 2 listen 2 much music or watch tv either. I prefer silence at the mo. I have played a little Jazz & Roots Reggae tracks frm my childhood, Miles & Dennis Brown etc. Yesterday I played Billie Holiday 4 about an hour so that's an improvement I guess. I do find myself randomly singing a P line or 2 tho.

I started to really listen to music again only 3 days ago. Only Prince and no specific selection. At first there was just no feeling, as if even listening to music was material and I too just wanted silence. But somehow Prince gets into you through music and I've definitely started feeling better listening to him. But I find listening to things I don't know (versions) better than my own playlists. At the moment that is. "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 - | |
