Re: Everyone dies

Eh, I don't know if that comparison is entirely accurate. If someone wasn't a fan of the celebrity in question and they're suddenly mourning their death, then yeah, I might find that a little odd (though, hey, death brings with it inexplicable reactions and emotions sometimes, so who knows).

But if someone I'm a big fan of passes away, I will be genuinely sad about their death, because they created a lot of work I and other fans enjoyed/were inspired by, work that meant something to the fans in some way, shape, or form. Obviously I don't know my favorite celebrities personally, and as a result, sure, their death won't affect me the way it would their immediate family and friends. But it still wouldn't stop me being sad that they're gone.

Yup. I still have a hard time in bookstores, because it was always my routine to go check and see what was new from Terry Pratchett. Now that's never going to happen again, and even though it's just a small part of my life, it still hurts.

Aw :(. Yeah, I can understand that feeling, definitely.

I think sometimes, too, if you're within the same age range as them, their death can be upsetting because it's just another reminder of mortality. We build celebrities up so much to where it feels like they can live forever, so their deaths can be a painful reminder of reality.

Or if the celebrity died young, it can be sad because people dying young in general is always tragic. Amy Winehouse was only a year older than me, so her death was surreal to me 'cause someone in their late 20s shouldn't be dead, you know?
