Missing Michael Jackson

For those of us who are having a difficulty coping. I am very upset at this and I think I need some guidance. I never met him but it felt like I knew him.

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

I added a video. The love for Michael is evident.
Caitlin McGowan Comment by Caitlin McGowan on July 4, 2009 at 11:36pm
I welcome anyone touched by his passing. He truly was a brilliant artist and a humanitarian. -Rest in Peace Michael

Dear Cindy, Oh my! I guess I don't believe that God causes storms just so we can weather them. That would mean that God created my daughter and then made her die just to see if I could "weather the storm." Perhaps that's the way one pastor explain...

Thank you, Diana.

I hear that a lot... "get over it" The people who say this have obviously not gone through what we all have. A death whether sudden or over time is not something you can just get over. It doesn't matter if you knew them 1 day, 1 month, 1 year, or ...

To One In Sorrow

Let me come in where you are weeping, friend,
And let me take your hand.
I, who have known a sorrow such as yours, can understand.
Let me come in--I would be very still beside you in your grief;
I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend,
Tears bring relief. Let me come in--and hold your hand,
For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand.

-Grace Noll Crowell

In your mind you can visualise the person, smiling, talking, living, but when the vision fades you realise that this is now your only connection to them. Through memories, photographs, anecdotes and, on a higher plane,...

When a pet dies...

This is one of the kindest things you may ever see.. It is not known who replied, but there is a beautiful soul working in the dead letter office of the US postal service. Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so...

Headstone funding for low-income families who have lost a baby

Just heard from this very worthwhile foundation and thought it would be helpful to spread the news: "We have a foundation that helps provide low-income families who have a lost a baby with funding for a permanent memorial stone for the gravesite. We have been around since 2003 and have helped 6 families just this year alone in getting headstones for their angel babies. (See www.dempseyburdick.com) We would love it if you would pass on...
