I do understand this. I feel bad cause someone who gave me good childhood memories are gone and thus puts into perspective my own morality but all this crying business just goes over my head.
I feel for his family becuase outside of his being an entertainer he was someones' child and brother. Now their grief is public and I really feel bad for <span style="font-weight: bold">them</span>.
Same reaction I had to Lady Di's death. It was sad to read but the shrine's and thing were surreal to me. The only time it did affect me was when I watched the funeral and the camera zoomed in on the coffin and the flowers on top had the card that said simply <span style="font-weight: bold">Mummy</span>. That did make me tear up because again, all this public hoopla was put into perspective...at the end of the day, she was some kid's mummy nothing more....and which had the greatest meaning.
And these children had to suck it up for the public and put on a brave face. THAT hurt;s my heart, not becuase I feel for her or Michael but because I still can recall what it means to be a kid and how painful that must be for them.
<span style="font-weight: bold">If anything when you lose ppl you truly love, you are far more empathatic to other ppl's grief and what it means to grieve as a process and not necessarily about who is lost specifically.</span>
