Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I wouldn't have made it through my childhood without his music. It was more than comfort. It formed me. As years passed, I consumed the same art he consumed, walk the same streets he walked, spoke his name like a word of power.
Over the past year I finally started recovering from years of abuse and trauma. For months I kept thinking about writing him a letter to thank him. But I kept putting it off. I kept telling myself, "He doesn't need or want your thanks."
I wish I had realized sooner that thanking him was something I needed for myself.

I understand.

It's not going to be the same, now, but you could write to his family. I think they'd like to hear it.

This is a great idea.

[(Anonymous)]

Seconding this.

[(Anonymous)]

Thirding this. Thirty years ago I met someone I admired greatly, and he was very supportive and encouraged me in the work I was doing. He passed away recently, and I decided to write to his family to describe the impact his kindness had and my gratitude for that; even if it was three decades ago, it had meant so much. His daughter wrote back to thank me for sharing the story, and CC'ed her message to her family so she could share it with them in turn.

It really is worth doing, and it could well bring a little comfort to Bowie's family, so why not?

[(Anonymous)]

Fourthing this.

[(Anonymous)]

Some things are self-serving, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong. In this case, it might even be self-healing.

You can still write the letter. It's up to you whether you want to show it to somebody or lock it away or whatever, but it might feel good to get the words out on a page.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe you should still write it and have a little ceremony where you burn it, sort of as a memorial to Bowie?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry, anon. *hugs if you want them*
