I don't really cry when I see him or hear his voice anymore but I do get sad from time to time when it hits me that he's no longer here. I can finally say that I can listen to Diamonds and Pearls without having a emotional breakdown so yay me! It took me longer to heal from MJ's death so for me to start healing 5 going on 6 months since Prince's passing is a bit shocking for me since he was a part of my life since I was 15

"...[Tyka Nelson] is well aware that the wound is still raw for many fans...

...“I've had two years to deal with it,” she explains, “but there's a lot of people that have only had from April to now, so I guess I would say give it another year and a half and maybe you'll be where I'm at. I'm sorry that you're hurting”..."

Who here on prince.org feels that they are on track for the sister's 18 month prediction?

I'll go first...

I hope it doesn't sound like I'm boasting. But only a few days after April 21st {thanks to this}, my acceptance of the tragedy was where the sister says hers was when she got the call.

Going by the majority of prince.org members' interpretations of the sister's ET interview comments — {plus the thousands upon thousands of posts just like all the ones in this very thread} — I foresee {sadly for them} the sister's 18 month prediction is never gonna come to pass for 99% of the fans on prince.org.

It almost seems like people would much rather nurse their denial of the facts, than face up to the facts.

Letting go of their denial, is the only way people will ever get over Prince's death.

Fuck U fat fucker....shut yo ass up for once

The only one in denial is you...and people like you who want to deny people their grief and let them mourn in peace.

Yeah, he gets a cheap thrill out of posting pics of the Paisley Park urn 0that looks like it should be in a children's nusery) over and over again. Even after they've been snipped or locked.

I am still in mourning. It is getting a little better for me but like most of you I have those days. I know a lot of you all have mixed feelings about Paisley Park being opened right now, and I do understand. Personally for me I feel more compelled than ever to visit even if I have to go by myself. For me I feel if I do go it would help me more in my personal mourning process. I have always wanted to go there and it's sad it took his tragic passing to push me to go. Sux. For you all out there still mourning you do what you gotta do and feel how you gotta feel - we are all in this together. Prince was (is) a special man, artist and creator and he will never ever be forgotten!

Don't go by yourself; unless that's what you prefer. Somebody suggested in another thread coordinating with each other to visit PP; I know everyone on here isn't sane (or so it seems); so precautions should be taken, but I think that's a cool idea; because I don't think others outside of these fan pages are really understanding what a visit to PP would mean to us.

Grief counseling resources

"…If you are struggling and feeling like you can't go on, people do care. Take care of your responsibilities and do whatever it takes to laugh more and sleep better. You may need to quit the Org for some time…

…Don't hesitate to contact counseling professionals or groups in your community. If you are in crisis and considering harming yourself please call 911…

…Otherwise, please consider calling the National Crisis Hotline: 1 (800) 784-2433…

…Some of our own are still struggling to cope and they should not feel ashamed to speak up or reach out for local professional counseling services. These forums are usually a source of comfort but we have some challenges within our community. The shame and stigma others may attach to mental health may cause some to not seek the care that may make a difference. The org shouldn't be a place where people feel ashamed to speak up and ask for help…"

(intro snip)

NEW YORK (AP) — Have you ever missed someone so much that even the thought of them made you burst into tears?

Now imagine that feeling drenched in purple rain.

Nearly six months after the shocking death of Prince, some superfans are still grieving hard, creating tearful memes, snapping up "I Still Miss Prince" T-shirts featuring a despondent Charlie Brown, sharing photos and seeking solace in an explosion of fresh concert videos and unreleased music on YouTube.

They see no end in sight to their sadness, especially with regular Prince developments in the news — details on the death investigation, his house being turned into a museum and Thursday's official tribute concert in his hometown of Minneapolis among them.

Maria Newport still cries regularly over the loss. She broke up with her boyfriend soon after Prince was found dead April 21. When she heard about it, "I just started wailing. Like, fetal position, in my bed."

"As for the boyfriend, she said he didn't get it, in the raw moment or in the weeks that followed.

"He could not understand. He couldn't understand the pain," Newport said of the guy she had been seeing for about a year and thought she would marry. "He would say, 'This is the dumbest thing ever. Like, you've never met this man.'"

Wow!

6 months, 6 years, 6 decades; I'll always feel this way.
