At times I feel like this but not all the time. As long as I continue to listen to his music and watch his videos, I feel that his spirit is still with me, so it doesn't seem like he's gone. This is the very reason why I refuse to buy any tribute magazines of him that I see in the store because it would be like acknowledging that he's gone.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Yes, it feels weird to move on without him, it's always like that when someone dies. You can't help wondering, why him/her? But there is nothing else to do than move on. I like to think I'm doing that, but there's still a part of me that hopes that he will show up again saying it was all a rumour so that he could go to that rehab center and recover and everything will be like it was again. But it won't. Ever again.

Yep. I was telling someone yesterday, I feel like he raised me. He was there since I was just a kid, always the backdrop to my life. He influenced everything from the way I dressed to the movies I watched (lots of old movies) ---- it feels pretty awful to not have Prince in the world. What am I left with? I can't even watch Entertainment Tonight or any of those shows, I don't care a lick about George Clooney or Julia Roberts or any of the so-called "stars" of today. And, is anyone else having a hard time sleeping? I toss and turn throughout the night and just say in my head, "Prince died. Prince is dead." --- It just feels like, wtf?

Yes - I feel terrible. I am not sure I will ever get over this.

A piece of me has died.

Whatever you heard about me is true
I change the rules and do what I wanna do

I've bought them. But haven't looked at them in depth. One has a picture of Jill Jones but the caption says it's Ingrid. I'll look at them eventually or maybe not but I wanted to have them.

I feel best listening to him music- mornings seem to be the worst. My first thought everyday since he passed is that he is "gone". I'm just really grateful for all the videos on YouTube except that they make me miss him even more, a sadness from never having known him in person. He seemed to have so much fun, but you can also see a whole lot of hurt in his eyes.

It's like he's still here but he isn't. It's a weird feeling. His loss feels so personal in a way that really shocks me. I really can't believe it. I just can't imagine this life without him.

I feel very different and agree this has changed me fundamentally. I feel a STRONG desire to quit my pursuits that revolved around "making more money", I want to abandon them for more creative endeavors like finally learning to play guitar, pick the drums up again and start a band. Write that book I always meant to... Get my house in order.

Maybe fall in love.

I love him so deeply.
Surprise, surprise.
Another treat. Another trick.

me too..just no sense of closure at all. The issue is that he was so busy right up to the last few days of his passing..he was a constant/ever present in our lives. To have that then snatched away so suddenly is truly like losing someone close in your family...utterly heart breaking. Can barely watch any live footage...that look of joy when he was out there on stage...despite the pain. Typing this & holding back my tears...

I feel you my people. Treads like this one helps me to get through my day. I don't have a shoulder to cry on because everyone I know will think I'm strange. My husband is not a fan nor are any of my friends. I basically keep my feelings pent up. I didn't realize that Prince's transitioning would have such an astounding affect on me. I now see how much of an influence he's had on my life, especially my creative side and sexuality.
Everyday since he transitioned I feel something is missing in this world. Even though I may not have thought about him often enough while he was still of our world, I'd be reminded by hearing his music, hearing about his concert, seeing pictures on social media...etc. Now when I watch his vids or hear his music my heart aches. Honestly, I just want to move on and accept that he's no longer with us physically. I tell myself that I will hear his music and see him again when I meet my departed family in the afterlife.

Guys,

Prince was a part of our "Tapestry" of life. Gently woven together with his beautiful Fabric (voice), with every passing year. Then all of a sudden the course of life ripped through our "dear" tapestry, which created a large hole within our hearts, which has caused; anguish, confusion, shock and so much incomprehensible sorrow.

The very fabric of our lives, has been damaged, and there is no repair for now, "I get that", but it doesn't make me feel any better-only time will let us move on to a point of self-healing-

But for now, vent, vent, vent...........
