Wow. I just saw this thread after top-posting one of my own just now about how last night was a ROUGH night. I can see I wasn't alone in that.
What is the significance to "Thursdays" that you guys are talking about?



it seems that many of us have backslid after having clawed our way to some bit of progress. as for thursdays, we learned of his passing on thursday, april 21. yesterday made five weeks. for some people, each day of week has its own vibe.

Thursdays are now trashed for many of us, since it is a reminder of his death day and finding out.

hug I miss just having his presence here on earth


I was listening to Planet Earth yesterday, hadn't thought too much of the album at the time, but now, it reminds me of those 21 concerts in London, and it takes on a whole different meaning for me.
The song, Somewhere Here On Earth makes me cry everytime, because of the realisation that he is no longer anywhere here on earth, and I kinda took for granted all those years that he was... sad



Yeah somewhere here on earth takes on a whole different meaning, I just want answers at this point

one of the things that really hampered my grief was the fast autopsy and cremation. i know they had to do an autopsy, it was necessary but i don't like to think about it. then finding out the next day that he was cremated ....idk. i understand if there were cost issues and if prince wanted all privacy matters to be solid, but the idea that he went from being here and alive to completely gone in two days....just made it harder.

the body is the vessel, i know. but it was just so fast. otoh, he would not want to have been laid out like other celebs have done or any risk that photos were taken.

i just hope very few people saw him in death and that they all were as respectful as the sheriff

The cremation also was one of the most difficult things for me. I just couldn't believe it and I felt so bad for him. I envisioned it quite frequently but that's gotten a little better.

Because there's so much footage of him, videos, interviews, concerts, etc, it's hard to go from watching one of those to the empty realization he's not on this earth with us anymore. It's hardly believable.

Yesterday was a foul day for me. I sat and cried, like really cried and I couldn't stop. All day I went round like a zombie. I can't explain to anyone els how I feel and why I'm so sad; they just don't umderstand and wouldn't get it all.

The comments about the cremation are spot. Waking up to find it had happened was soul destroying. It was too fast. I think it's harder knowing he's completely gone, like, completely. Now I'm crying again. I feel like I take teo steps forward, ten steps back. This is just the worst pain ever.

Thank u 4 a funky time

I was sitting at my computer, and was going to watch some "Prince" videos, then it just hit me. I really miss Prince the man! Listening to his music isn't helping, watching his videos aren't helpling, all it does is bring on the nightly tears, This whole situation is so hearbreaking life can be a trip-

Eye Miss U Prince........

It hurts. I've been able to listen to his music...considering the situation. When the music is on every part of me believes he is here. I feel Prince's presence quite strongly....until the music stops sad .

Yeah, it will always be a heartbreaker.. sad

Mainly because he went far far far too early, and had soooo much more up his sleeve.

The world does indeed seem to have gone back to monochrome again.

I'm still completely playing wall-to-wall Prince clips, performances, gigs etc on YouTube, sometimes playing the same things over and over again. The same clips will hit me differently on different days.

Today, a concert I've seen a million times, Dortmund '88, the officially released show, when he does his splits and back up and spins during Housequake just got me all choked up today.

It took my breath away at first, just 'wow', and then this huge sadness came over me. It's all very odd to be honest with you, why some things can leave you with a pang one day and not the next.

StopIt

this Gift would not have departed but for a physically insurmountable (=terminal) state that he'd been well aware of. He knew we could see changes in his health, and he showed us anyway so we would understand. He knew (that we know) he gave us Everything. It is very painful every day, but we are the primary bridge to sharing his gifts now and we have no time to lose.

I have been immersing myself in that same performance. Also, the acoustic set he played for MTV Unplugged. I could watch that over and over.

Sadly, I keep adding videos to my YouTube playlist, and they keep getting removed. Was hoping that they would just stay, bc their removal underscores my loss.

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

This is my first time posting here and I am overjoyed to know that I am not alone in my grief! My hubby doesn't understand and neither do my friends or co workers. Until now, I found my purple family. Thank you for being here and allowing my heart to grieve and express my love for prince

I don't wanna die, I'd rather dance my life away!

I'm more angry about it at this point. What a bullsh*t world where we lose Prince like we did. He should still be here and seems like he was almost saved.


.


The world is different without him. I just feel his lack of presence on the planet. Even if I didn't listen to his music all the time, his energy was stilll there and was nice to think of him in the studio somewhere or chilling in Hawaii or Spain or whatever. The world and life, in general, is just less exciting without him here any longer.



This is exactly how i feel sad

I have noticed that it is the little things that affect me more now. Everytime I get a text U bothers me. I passed a local coffee shop today with the name Le Grind and I started to tear up. I am listening to the music but I have had to step away from the vids. I think this is going to be a very bad week for me. cry

Thank you Charm4ever. I have read all of everyone's posts on here and am glad I am not alone. I never got to see him live. I missed him playing in Toronto in March when he played there, He played on my Birthday (I was visiting my family). Torn up about that, it would have been so special, I turned 40 this year cry Then I thought, don't worry girl, he will come to Vancouver and then we can fill up on P! I was so excited at the prospects, now I am just left heartbroken bheart Since the age of 7 I have loved him. Continue to do so, even when I didn't understand the meaning of his lyrics wink he got under my skin and into my heart!

I have been feeling better with no tears, but last night watched I Would Die 4 U on Youtube and got all moist eyed. Somehow the end of Purple Rain just gets to me. Also when he is screaming during The Beautiful Ones.

But somehow the world is really very different without him here. I miss him and I miss his energy that you could always feel even if he was on another continent and you hadn't thought of him consciously for days/weeks, etc.

It was great to see him play live in person and I'm glad I did that, but truthfully, I can't remember any of many of the shows I saw. I remember the excitement of some of them, but my point is that there are so many shows on video and audio and you can still enjoy those and even more than people do now with the memories of seeing him live. My favorite concerts of his are the ones that I can watch over and over and listen to and not the ones that I saw in person, which are largely forgotten. So yes enjoy that and it wasn't that different when you were actually there.

I feel for you guys. I went through a similar ordeal with MJ when he passed. I took it hard, and ultimately realised I had invested too much in him all along and it was unhealthy. I have been as obsessed with Prince as I was with MJ in the past, but I made some adjustments to my life after MJ's death, and as sad as I felt when Prince passed, I took it a lot better than losing MJ, I bounced back much quicker.

The sad thing is, I think you just get used to losing people you care about. MJ and Prince meant the world to me growing up, and I never outgrew my fandom or interest in either of them (and I never will - I'm a fan for life).

But I am just enjoying the music now, which feels more sacred than ever and I'm just glad more people are now being exposed to what an exceptional musician Prince Rodgers Nelson was.

That's about how I feel, similar

Why do you put his name in quotation marks? confuse

I'm doing a little better these days, until I start talking about him and realize I'm speaking in past tense. Then it hits me all over again.
