You know the first week I was just a mess....just couldnt stop crying then I went to periodic crying Now Im able to listen to his music and function, but I feel kinda weird like disconnected from stuff I lay down at night, but I dont feel really rested. I just feel like something is missing within me and I cant correct it Ive been trying hard to feel like myself again, but its not working How do I get back to feeling like me again? Is it ever gonna happen?

What you describe is so similar to what I have been through so far. Today, I was listening to Prince all day, because I was totally unable to function without it. And yet at the same time, half of the time I was still very upset because I remembered that the music was all that was left from him.

Hang in there hunni

I spent most of last week just feeling "numb". For the sake of my poor kids and husband I need to start functioning so I'm just going to take it one day at a time and try and surround myself with positive people who understand and give great hugs even when I haven't asked for one.

Here's a virtual hug for you...

I just cannot stand to hear one note of Purple Rain anywhere and have to slam it off immediately. It's become so haunting I don't know if I will ever be able to listen to it again.

Same for me. I can listen to pretty much everything except Purple Rain. That whole album is difficult. I think because that's literally the album that made me fall in love with him, I have that personal connection to it. Still too hard to listen to

SAME!! I literally freak out if it comes on the radio/TV and turn it off. Even my kids have picked up on that one as I used to play it all the time!
