My condolences on your mother's passing. This has been a tragic year for all of humanity on numerous levels. It seems as if 2009 was marked or something. As if we're being reminded about our status. It's lovely that Michael's work was helpful in your coping. I'm glad the best thing about him could contribute to someone's life during such a difficult reality. If appropriate, please accept my wish for you to be and remain blessed during this journey.

Stephanie, I know how you feel. It's such a sad story. I grew up listening to michael. We were only about a month apart in age. It seems to me he was so troubled and had no one that really understood him. Maybe he has found peace. I certainly would like to think so.

Hello. It's just before Thanksgiving. I'm still bent out of shape about Michael. Yesterday was a particularly bad day. I may not be in the right forum for something such as this as I may be less in a grieving place and more in an obsession. I NEVER obsessed about Michael before his death--I rarely thought of him on my own--but since his death? Well, I've really lost what little perspective I had. Everything's about him. Everything comes back to him. Everything about him is tragic and devastating because we know the end of his story. I don't know how to get over him and most of the time I don't want to get over him. His music has more meaning, his troubles have gained significance to me--it's as if his life isn't finished and needs to be redeemed and restored. But there are so many hitches along the way. He was incredibly troubled. He did things I don't agree with--at all. But he was so beautiful and gifted. I feel so bad about his death and I wish it weren't so. It feels wrong somehow for him to be gone. I've fumblingly and failingly sought some sort of Christian spirituality to try to deal with my dealing and it's not working. I just wish he hadn't died. I feel so bad for him. And recently for the children and his siblings. The people he worked with. It just feels so wrong. I don't understand my reaction.

Thank you for your comments. It's nice to know I'm not alone here. Thanks for posting that video. I've always loved the song Billie Jean. I wonder if more people are going to join the group?

Michael's early and shocking death has touched the hearts of millions who loved him through his music. His life was tainted by so much sorrow amidst the stardom and fancy lifestyle he never had time for himself.
It saddens me to hear that there are people committing suicide over this terrible situation but I can assure you all that Michael wouldn't want that one bit. We could honour his memory by helping to bring his dream of a united and wonderful world where there was no suffering and no pain. Michael Jackson - Gone to Soon for sure - God bless
