I don't mourn the person I didn't know, but especially if they're great artists, musicians, actors, et cetera that die young, I mourn the loss of talent and what could've been. Especially if their works were important to me in some way and I wanted more of what they were creating.

ayrt - I am probably getting hung up on the "mourning" part. I definitely feel what you are describing, like a general sadness for the loss of talent and what could have been. Or even just sadness for the loss of life in general. I guess for me "mourning" is a more intense thing.

But I do tend to get hung up on specific wording and definitions. I am endlessly fascinated by how we all use the same words but can mean different things.

it's that we're all clearly using "mourning" to represent a range of both feelings and behaviors. you're totally right.

so is OP meaning mourning as in "aww, that's sad news, now let me scroll on to the next news item" or literally crying, going into a period of depression and grief, or...anything on the scale between? because a lot of things are understandable but we probably all have our line in the sand beyond which it's a little weird to be going on about an actor.

Yeah, it's the phrasing on the secret that gets me. "Go into mourning" implies pretty strong period of grief imo, not just general "that's sad" feelings.

DA - this is how I read the secret too, and if that is the case, then it does seem odd to me too. Certainly, I've been SAD when a celebrity I like died, but "going into mourning" seems...excessive. If I experienced that regularly whenever someone I didn't even know died, I'd probably seek out therapy!

Same. I think people (or maybe just one or two annoying trolls) tend to make a fuss over any show of sadness about a celebrity death, acting as though we're "worshipping" them or something crazy. It's not like that, and the "mourning" doesn't occupy very much time. It's not like I sit around sobbing into a hanky or creating shrines to their memory. But when their name comes up, I think, damn, how sad and what a loss.

That's it.

This is exactly how I feel.
