There is a specific, unique kind of grief reserved for those who lose someone they never officially met. It is a quiet, internal mourning that can be difficult to explain to those who don’t feel it. You might find yourself staring out a window, lost in a sudden fog of nostalgia. You might find yourself rewatching an old interview or listening to a specific recording, searching for a spark of that old magic to bridge the gap between “now” and “forever.” The lump in your throat is real. The stinging in your eyes is justified. Do not let anyone tell you that it is “just” celebrity news. When someone has the power to shape the way you see the world, their departure leaves a void that cannot be filled by anyone else.
