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.

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 .

I was in a record store today and they were playing a custom compilation of Prince. Had a cry listening to it. I'm still incredulous at the fact that he's no longer here

Oh my goodness...u got me crying again.

Yeah, it will always be a heartbreaker..

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.

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 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.

It's only morning but I'm having a terrible day. I don't know why, but I just can't stop thinking about him. I'm so sad.

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 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 Since the age of 7 I have loved him. Continue to do so, even when I didn't understand the meaning of his lyrics 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.
