That must be so hard driving by PP, especially moments like that.

I love it..I live in Massachusetts...y'all so lucky..but I can understand how painful it must be as well.

My very first post. So good to be among those that loved this man's talent, love, music. . everything. I only wish peace to everyone that truly loved him. When you are at peace, you can be in the middle of anything if you are at peace, all is well. He is now. Thank you for sharing.

Had managed to not see the pic until someone sent it to me on facebook. In bits again now. My mates don't understand how this feels because if they did they would not have sent that to me. Can't get my head around the fact that he is gone. But now I am upset because I thought he would have been at rest by now and it looks like he is not. I am trying not to think bad things about his famileyas I know that every familey feels different about loosing someone. I know there were things my brothers did for my Mum and Dad that I did not like. But please let him rest now. Also could they not have found a more personal Photo?

i still don't hear a clear story. Yes, it's a lesson that we should reach out to another when in pain, but the reporter wasn't clear about whether or not that had happened. Chazz seems to war people to know however that they did reach out, but did they do that because they knew? Had Prince reached out to them and said he was in pain? It is not clear, and if it is, please correct me. Yes, i do want to know what happened. Here's the video: http://www.kare11.com/mb/.../296282778

I think the implications are pretty clear. The lesson needs to be learned to ask for help when you need it, the implication being that P didn't. They knew he was in pain/difficulty, although he was trying to hide it/deal with it himself, and they tried to reach out to him - not sure about the 'on record', that may well be re: the investigation - and the implication is that it was rebuffed. Which I think fits the picture many of us have about how P was trying to deal with this alone (keeping it from even ppl v close to him at the time like Judith), and how that fits with what we know about P's personality in general. He had always always survived by relying on himself, and his way of dealing with things was no different in this instance than it had ever been.

My God... You people still haven't accepted Prince is dead and are shocked to see the Purple Urn? After four months?

Please seek professional help, I am serious! Mourning is natural and good, but still being in the denial phase after four months? When will depression hit you in the face, after twelve years? You may never truly accept that Prince is dead and become very confused individuals.

Seriously, I mean it with all my love for everybody, get help!

You can all you want. It just isn't healthy to be this far in denial after 4 months. How can people be shocked to see the urn? You know Prince is dead, you know he was cremated, you could have guessed he would now be in an urn. Many people are in urns after death. It's a fact of life. On day we all die and be either underground or in an urn.

Although I realise that everyone mourns in his own way and tempo, I am also concerned about some of the peeps on here. Let's face it, most of us haven't known him personally. And although his music played a large roll in our lives, he was still only a public figure, not a close friend.

I fear some people have idolised him to the point where they think they knew and understood him on a personal level. THIS IS NOT THE CASE, THIS IS AN ILLUSION!!! And a unhealthy one, in my opinion. It makes you suffer deeply over the loss of someone you hardy knew.

Some of you would certainly be better off letting that illusion go and accept that you didn't actually knew him. And if you have a hard time doing that on your own, it might be smart to get some professional help.

On the other hand, most of us here are getting a bit older now (40+) and Prince's unexpected death reminds us of our own mortality. So that might also be a factor in the extended mourning over Prince for some.

Anyway, I wish all you Orgers the best, I love you, and I hope you will be able to cope with his loss some way soon.

Yep you're the epitome of healthy Behavior.

Co-sign. People go through stuff the way they go through stuff. It's much less healthy to suggest people should start judging themselves for the way they feel, or to think you know what is healthy for other people, or to suggest there is something wrong or bad about their feelings, than to support and accept them. This man meant a helluva lot to a lot of people, and what they feel about it is what they feel about it. End of.

Prince spend almost 40 years making very emotionally communicative music, and standing up on stage producing esctasy and communion with people. Yes, we didn't know him personally, but that doesn't mean we weren't meaningfully connected to him (and actually, that music is still there, and is still capable of producing that sense of connection...we will always be meaningfully connected to him on some level). If we weren't meaningfully connected to him, then everything he did and dedicated his life to was an illusion. And I don't think that's the case...and I don't think a lot of people here think that is the case, and I don't think Prince thought that was the case either. Don't worry about people. Support them by accepting their feelings, and they'll get through it fine, in however much time it takes each of them to get through it.

I did not see a purple urn, the one on the table is not purple. There is purple vase but there are flowers in that, so I doubt it is the urn.

I am wondering if he was very lonely. It all indicates he was. This is really sad.

What you said. I'm just very surprised that 4 months later and he's still not been laid to rest. What are they waiting for? I pray his urn (which I looked at) is not visible during the tribute concert. Please no!

They can keep the urn as long as they want. What's got that to do with lying to rest? It's not like they are keeping a casket with him there. I don't understand your ethical reasoning.
