The Pain of the Loss Returns...

[OldSkoolGirl]

I just need to share with those who will understand...

So I managed to get a copy of Rolling Stone. I couldn't read it right away... held on to it for a few days waiting for a quiet time when I could read it.

I read 1/2 of the article this morning, and I had to stop because it hurt to read.

I was teary before the end of the first paragraph, which is beautiful. And the pictures of him so young and raw are beautiful.

So today I am sad all over again... the pain of the loss of a beautiful heart and mind, one that I love and respected so much and that brought me so much joy and solace... feels like sucker punch #2.

Don't know when I will be able to make it through the last part of the article... but I know that this man has had a profound impact on my life.

Sleep well, soul friend... until your time comes again.

Namaste.

I can't even bring myself to go buy it. I just don't want to face that he's gone. :(

I cried in the supermarket. Bought it the day it came out. I walked through the pharmacy, looking for the magazine section. It was on a shelf behind some other magazines, so all I saw were those eyes peeking out at me.

I cried when I saw it, again with watery eyes at the checkout, then pretty hard in the car once I shut the door. Seeing the finite years on the cover hit me like a hammer in the face. This fucking sucks.

I can relate so much with this^. I just stood there staring at the magazine stand before I could pick it up. I waited to be alone to read it. I've been feeling more sad every passing day and that leads me to think of his family and friends, it must be so hard for them.

I finally brought myself to buying RS today. Now I have to psyche myself to actually read it. I did look at the photos though. I'll have to do it by myself though so that I can cry. I cry at the drop of hat just thinking of him.:(

It was shock and loss when the news first broke... and now it's the immense depth of that loss, and the deep sadness that comes from an incredible mind and spirit being taken before his time... he had so much more to do, to give, to share, to create, to become.... there was so much more he would have brought the world if only.... if only....

The article just brought that home for me... how much he had changed, grown, evolved, and his art touched so many lives, his work changed so many people for the better...

I can't express it, I can't get it out.... it's just sitting in my chest, heavy. Sadness.

Wow, that was a fucking tough read. Balled my eyes out and still am. What a beautiful person stolen from us, his friends, and especially his family way too soon. I mean I know we will all die at some point but why so early for him?
