Haven't stopped crying since the day Prince passed.
Feeling so guilty that I did not cry for family members like this.
Still can't come to terms with it & still hurts so much.
It's like a different type of mourning & finding it so very hard.
Listen to his music everyday & some days it's a celebration & some days I am in pieces.
Life will never be the same & so many around me don't understand why!

Took me over a month to get over it. Not really over it but I guess just in a better mood. To know that he has been hiding his issues from us, just to keep giving us more music had made it harder though. Hang in there.

I know exactly where you are coming from I have mourned many family members and friends that have passed, but not like this. I wish I could explain..but it is a deep, deep hurt for this man. I think I am going crazy...when is this aching pain going to go away? Somedays are good and I feel light and full of hope, then something will trigger my thoughts to the loneliness and saddness that surrounded him when he passed away.

So glad that you are all here to lean on.

I'll never get over it. I'll just learn to live with the reality of it

I feel exactly the same

I know! I feel like this every single day! It doesn't get easy and I know it won't! It breaks my heart over and over again. And I can't even go to family, friends or co-workers about this. They don't get it. I look at them sometimes and think, "What's wrong with you people?! Why isn't everyone feeling what I am feeling?! That sick to your stomach, not fair at all, shouldn't have died, feeling that I will never get over!"

Thank goodness for the Prince.org community. If it wasn't for this amazing place, I wouldn't make it!

I emphatize and understand completely as I am just like you. I haven't grieved this hard in a very long time.

Feel the exact same way you do. I liken him to an older brother that I looked up to. Cried today even though I promised myself I wouldn't 6 weeks in. This, I'll probably never get over.

I went to the Sydney Opera House on Saturday night to see the British band "New Order" who I absolutely love. Those who went with me danced all night and had one of the best nights ever.

I could not enjoy it and was pretty miserable shedding tears remembering seeing Prince there on that stage in February. The hurt continues for me.

Beautiful

I am with you all too,

Completely broken hearted,

This man was an Adonis, a demi-god, the patron saint of music,

Lightyears ahead of anyone as an artist,

Best quote from a prince discussion, "Most artist come to you to sell you their music, you came to Prince for his and never leave"

Favorite Prince quote:

Question- What's your favorite song?

Prince - "The next one"

Love that man

It is the same for me. I have lost many, many loved ones in my lifetime, including parents, grandparents, and even a sibling, but I've never felt anything like this.

Sometimes mourning takes longer, however, you shouldn't get stuck in it either. I think we are all confronting this in some way.

I don't know what's wrong with me now, but these past 3 days, I woke up crying. I don't know if the reality if finally sinking in deeper, or I'm sensing something that I can't articulate....smh. Grieving sucks!!!

When it hits it's like a ton of bricks, don't know how to get out from under them.

Today I walked past an arena where he played in 2014, I go by there all the time but today I walked where the tour buses would be & the part the artists enter. It suddenly dawned on me that he had walked where I was walking & the sadness hit me like a ton of bricks. I still feel stunned by it.

The quote in my signature is from the last episode of Person of Interest - when I heard it I thought of him instantly & that had me crying again.

I saw that episode last night and thought the same as you, LuxLove. I talked to a couple of friends of mine yesterday. My fellow band member admitted that he still hasn't gotten over John Lennon's passing. And another friend admitted he's not over Maurice White's passing. Infact, he said that "Maurice was like his big brother." I was like, THAT'S HOW I FEEL! I guess this is normal cuz for a while there, I felt like I was crazy to be feeling the way I do. This is normal....

Well, I lost my father years ago so I absolutley know mourning much deeper than this, but I'll never be "over" P's death. It'll always sting to some degree, but I am doing better - no tears for a few days, been too busy with work kicking my ass. It's kind of a relief - whenever I feel myself starting to go there or wanting to hear the music, I know it's gonna fuck me up so I just don't. I guess when I get some downtime I'll start to "heal" for real - listen & cry again, get it all out. Right now I'm just burying my little feelings because I have to. But I teared up/cried daily for at least the first month, I loved that dude!
