[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP with the addicted brother, moving away from my issues for a moment. I have felt terrible all day about both tragedies. Yes, Amy Winehouse is just one person. It affects me more than most because of how close the topic is to my own family. However, the horror of the Oslo slaying is almost incomprehensible. Maybe it's easier to talk about Amy Winehouse. I can see how people were offended - odd that somebody would start a thread about a famous person dying but not about the 91 and counting that were stalked and shot and, well, yeah.

I mean, the thing is, I can't even read anything more about that; I've stopped opening the pages because I can't bear it. I think people can deal with death on the Amy Winehouse level. Not so on the Norway level. It's incomprehensibly horrifying and maybe that's why nobody has written about it yet.

Another thing about the Amy Winehouse story is that we all did "see it coming" but yet it happened and was still kind of surreal. I think it was the Huffington POst that titled a story about it "she died in front of us" which is an apt description in some ways. I think addiction is like a train coming at someone that you can't stop, derail, or block for them.

Anyway, my two cents about why one post was written and one was not.

Separately, thanks for the well wishes for my brother and family. I sincerely appreciate that someone would direct kind thoughts our way - his way especially. [/quote]

PP - your post moved me to tears. I am not religious, but sending thoughts of support to your family and brother. Thanks for the courage in sharing your story to give us all more perspective.[/quote]
