You mean to tell me that Alexander O’Neal, James Debarge (and others in that family), Bobby Brown, Nikki Sixx, Steven Tyler, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Jimmy Page AND Cortney Love and Liza Minelli are still walking around.

And Prince is dead?

I may love all of the above mentioned and glad they are still with us (well, most of them), it just goes to show you, you can tempt fate all you like. Some will win. And some will lose. It’s a crap shoot. Win or lose.

How are you dealing with anger about Prince's passing? Any advice will be appreciated.

Hey Blue22 =)

I totally get your post. I just wanted to shed some light on it. Do you believe in God or life after this? If not, I understand. I'm not trying to push my beliefs on you. Though my faith has been tested (ESPECIALLY with this) I do believe God has a plan beyond this world. Prince believed it also. Which is why he always pushed for more. We only see what we live and dream. God knows the WHOLE picture. We don't. Though we are sad now (depressingly so ) I think Prince is out of pain and is getting the LONG AWAITED sleep he needs. I find comfort in the fact that we both shared this faith and believe there is life after this. This world CANNOT be all. It's too unkind. Though there are beautiful moments, there would be so much more if it weren't for all the hate. That's why we must cherish what we had. Even when we get angry, and this has brough out anger in me as well. This may not help, considering we are all still sad, but there is a bigger plan than this. What is it? Heck if I know. If I knew, I wouldn't (we wouldn't) be so sad. Your anger is relevant. But I bet you anything, he is so much better off now than walking around in this cruel and damaged world. We cry for our loss, not his.

Btw Yes, the people above that you mentioned are still here but have not even reached a pinch of what Prince has. Not because they lack talent. They are all wonderful in their own right. Prince was just...different...EXTRAordinary. Maybe that is why they are still here. They have more to do. Prince could have gone on for years and above but God has other plans and I think Prince came and did what he needed to. He definetely left this time giving above and beyond!!! We are all here for a purpose. He truly lived it. Also, I have always loved your Avi photo!!! Hugs

I don't understand how stages work but I've cut a close friend out of my life for mocking me. I don't care if she believes me or not, just as long as she respected my feelings. This was within the first week after Prince's death. She truly hurt me. Within that first week I experienced so many different emotions that I don't even know what hit me. But I think I'm starting to accept his death and work towards healing now. But of course I'm still sad. Yet I'm also glad that he's not suffering if he was indeed suffering whether physical ailments or emotional turmoil from his losing someone he loved or his loneliness and not having his special someone with him. All those pains are no more and when he wakes up again he can finally be free. 💠💕🔆💠💫

Sorry about your friend. Real friends should not do that. Of course they make mistakes but that is not cool. True friends know when you are hurting and know when you need comfort. I remember I stopped talking to one of my friends in elementary school for a month because she was making fun of Prince lol. My friends know to not cross me on this. ESPECIALLY not now. I hope you can make up and she comes around.

CherryMoon57 said:

I've just been a bit angry with myself for not going to see him again since 2007 and not telling him clearly what he meant to me whilst he was holding my hand and giving me a chance to say something to him (there was a long pause). We had had a few interactions over the course of several aftershows, in the Summer of 2007 and he ended up inviting me onstage. I thanked him but I also wanted to hug him. Given the chance again, I would without hesitation. Lesson for me: make the most of the people you care about and tell them you love them whilst they're still here. And that doesn't just go for Prince.

CherryMoon57 - He knew! (as others have said). Artists like him, who are gifted but shy, are very good at sensing other people's energy.

Just to back it up - Something similar happened to someone I know who met her hero - Janelle Monae (Janelle is another shy, gifted person, who Prince mentored). Anyway, that fan stood next to Janelle at a small concert, but clammed up and only could look at her. She thought she blew it and was saying on Twitter how she was really depressed about not speaking to or hugging her hero. I tweeted back, telling the fan not to worry, that Janelle knew how she felt. Janelle retweeted what I said.

So, don't worry, I'm sure Prince knew you loved and appreciated him.

I have really, I get real defensive about him and like the OP feel short changed, why is it healthy tee totalling Prince isdead, but the drug eaten hedonists called Rolling Stones are alive and the same with many of the drug eaten rockers of the 1960s and 1970s.

.

Mainly my anger comes from a series of reasons I sum up below and I know I am unique, and this shit is hurting all of us here.

.

1. The mfers claiming he is their father and brother etc, wanting his inheritance.

2. The greed industry, overpriced music , auction sites and stores selling prince music and books at marked up prices because he is dead now= Puggery.

3. The amount of bullshit said about him, being full of opium, cocaine and AIDS and every new rumour being pounced on by the press as true gospel truth. It is likely he got hooked on some painkillers used as medicine for his bung hip, the fact the dodgy doctor was prescribing them and they contained opiates may be true too, but this is dodgy doctors fault not Prince. This fool was so exploitative, he had the son serving as Prince's pusherman.

And then all the fools I know coming to me with the latest bullshit rumour out of TMZ or some other tabloid/gossip source and I have to refute and defend that shit. And they make me look dumb, becuase they think I am defending an AIDS ridden, opium smoking, junkie, 700 kid having drug addled musician known to be a pervert. I have even had people say oh he was just a faggot and all this other shit, even though I am gay (They think I am not like the gays on TV).

4. The fact he will not be planning any new projects and all music released from now will be posthumous (After what ever he was doing in studio before he passed).

5. The fact we have lost the last true genius in music.

I hope not! I think it is a phase. There are a lot of threads about how people feel. I'm here because I know people need comfort. The kind I wish I had and am hopefully starting to get on my own. I just want to help =). If it weren't for that, I would not stick around. Too many threads about "What if?" "What would he do?" "Was that rumour true?" "That album STILL stinks"....blah blah blah. But like I said in another thread, it will never be the same here. How could it be? Even when I come on here I skip the front page and just go to the forum because it's sad seeing that message about him. But I've noticed ever since LotusFlower dropped, people have been particulalry mean and harsh on here. They have been long before that but after that, people always complained!!! You'd think it was more of a bashing site than one to actually discuss and enjoy his music. I hope over time some of the older members will be back on to gain some normalcy though. I'm glad to see you are still here though! And a few others.

I think people are posting really wacky stuff. I have seen a lot of posts from people who seem to have lost their grip with the real world. It is one thing to enjoy Prince's music. It is another thing to go bat shit crazy over his death.

Okay, that's enough. You need to go back to whatever hole you recently crawled out of. You are adding nothing to this forum and don't belong here. Bye.

I have. I go back and forth between disbelief and complete anger. Which isn't healthy, but I'm not sure how else to feel at this moment. I wake up every day just thinking about how unfair the whole situation is. I'm angry at the fact that it was just entirely way too early for him to go. I'm angry at the fact that I stupidly passed up my last chance to see him live. I'm angry at the fact that I truly thought i'd meet him one day and now I never will. But what angers me the most is that I can't change any of these facts. No matter how much I want to wake up tomorrow and realize I've been having a horrible nightmare, I know that won't happen. Reality sucks. It always has for me, which is why I turn to music. Prince was everything to me. Being 26, I've loved him for literally half of my entire existence. I'm who I am today because of him and his music. I envy all of you who "grew up" with him, and got to experience everything from the 80's on up. I feel jipped almost because I only had him for such a small amount of time compared to you all. Unfair is really the only way to describe it for me. Being a Christian, I believe that God makes no mistakes but damn...I really sit here and wonder why it had to be him, why now? Why like this?

You're not alone - I missed 4 (FOUR!!!!!) opportunities to see him on the latest tour, & that will haunt me FOREVER & like you, I never met him but always wanted to, even just for a moment

I feel you both. I had one chance to go see him in 2011. I was beyond ecstatic! It was in Chicago. I was going with my Mum's friend. He bought the tickets and everything. And the day I was supposed to go. He wouldn't answer his phone. Just straight up bailed. I still wanted to go, but he had the tickets. I was sooo devastated. I was 17 at the time and I have loved this man since I was in the womb. I don't remember a time without his music in my life. I grew up with him and he has made me the musician I am today. I grew up KNOWING I would work with him one day. I had bought a new outfit and saved extra money so I could buy an official symbol necklace at the concert too. I was also so excited to see Elisa Fiorillo and Sheila E!! I tell you, if I eva catch that sucka in the street...

He always seemed "unreachable" to me when I was younger, but as I got older I really thought it would happen. I'm sorry about your missed opportunities as well That's definitely the biggest regret of my life. Should have just dished out the money and went

All I am saying is that you guys are trying to defend Prince, when there is nothing to defend. Who cares if someone says something you don't like, You cant change their opinon no matter how much you try. I don't know why fans get so upset with things that are being said in the press. if you don't like it don't read it and dont reference it. If someone says that an album sucks you dont have to freak out about it, let them have their say and move on. And yes I belong here just as much as you do. We cannot change the fact that Prince is gone. His music has been the soundtrack of my life since I was 14 and I have never cared about the opinons of others towards him or his music. I have never cared about what is in the press about him because you cant change that. I care about the music and nothing else when it comes to Prince.

I got a bit angry when the top story in the media was Rob Kardashians lovers baby scan pics. But I would've been angry even if P hadn't of passed. I'm still so sad over prince and depression is still present. I haven't reached acceptance at all.

Totally understand. We can pull together in all of this.

Thanks purplethunder3121. It's good to know some people actually understand.

I have a very full life, out everyday with a huge career and even do yoga. But it does not take away whatever it is I'm feeling. I think its still shock and grief which is normal.

How fair is life?

And Prince is dead?

I may love all of the above mentioned and glad they are still with us (well, most of them), it just goes to show you, you can tempt fate all you like. Some will win. And some will lose. It’s a crap shoot. Win or lose.

How are you dealing with anger about Prince's passing? Any advice will be appreciated.

Hey Blue22 =)

I totally get your post. I just wanted to shed some light on it. Do you believe in God or life after this? If not, I understand. I'm not trying to push my beliefs on you. Though my faith has been tested (ESPECIALLY with this) I do believe God has a plan beyond this world. Prince believed it also. Which is why he always pushed for more. We only see what we live and dream. God knows the WHOLE picture. We don't. Though we are sad now (depressingly so ) I think Prince is out of pain and is getting the LONG AWAITED sleep he needs. I find comfort in the fact that we both shared this faith and believe there is life after this. This world CANNOT be all. It's too unkind. Though there are beautiful moments, there would be so much more if it weren't for all the hate. That's why we must cherish what we had. Even when we get angry, and this has brough out anger in me as well. This may not help, considering we are all still sad, but there is a bigger plan than this. What is it? Heck if I know. If I knew, I wouldn't (we wouldn't) be so sad. Your anger is relevant. But I bet you anything, he is so much better off now than walking around in this cruel and damaged world. We cry for our loss, not his.

Btw Yes, the people above that you mentioned are still here but have not even reached a pinch of what Prince has. Not because they lack talent. They are all wonderful in their own right. Prince was just...different...EXTRAordinary. Maybe that is why they are still here. They have more to do. Prince could have gone on for years and above but God has other plans and I think Prince came and did what he needed to. He definetely left this time giving above and beyond!!! We are all here for a purpose. He truly lived it. Also, I have always loved your Avi photo!!! Hugs

Thank you HeavenMustBNear. What a lovely response. I do believe in the afterlife. I have my own proof of it. But we all process things in our own time. I'm going through my stages of grief and I'm in the anger stage and somewhat non-acceptance. I know he won't be in the physical but with my own agenda, I want him to still be here kicking ass. Rationally I know its not my call.

This forum is helping, and I appreciate your response.

I thought about changing my avi but I love Vanity (Denise) and with Prince's passing I thoght I should keep it.
