wow, thanks so much everyone for the thoughtful and heartfelt responses...I thought this thread had disappeared, I couldnt find it, I am still a newb...grin.
It is a real comfort to know there are other fans out there that are going through the same sense of loss and grief, and that feel the same way about Michael. He was a special person with amazing gifts and it is nice to also see that so many here see him as a beautiful human being and not as the product that the media sold and the public consumed.
It is becoming more difficult these past few days with the recent news about the doctor..I have been feeling very angry now more than sad. I suppose there will be lots of emotions to go through..that is just part of grieving, but the anger is the hardest because I have no control over what happened, and there are so many what if's and sometimes I find myself fantasizing about a different outcome but then suddenly realize its no use, there is no fixing what happened.
Im also feeling angry seeing other artists going on with their careers and feel envious of other fans that get to keep enjoying their star. I didnt realize how much I looked forward to Michaels work, even if there were long delays in between, I was still looking forward to the day he would perform again and amaze people, or to have another number 1 single on the charts again. I have no doubt he would have been better than ever and he would have suprised the world.
well anyway thanks again for all the posts and for sharing...I know we will all get through this eventually.
