[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are mourning themselves getting older, when a little piece of their younger life is gone. 
It's also a bit shocking when it's someone young, like Perry, despite the drug issues. [/quote]

I agree with this. I was quite upset when Alan Rickman died, and I couldn't really figure out why at first. But I think it was a combination of the total lack of warning that he was even ill, plus lingering childhood dissatisfaction with how Snape's arc went in the books; I was really mad and upset back then about how he didn't survive Voldemort and get to attempt any happiness or improvement after the war and then Alan Rickman died in a weird fantasy/reality conflation (even though I was an adult by that point) where both the character and the actor got the very short end of a stick. It felt sad and unfair.

I was also very sad about the Queen dying last year; just one more comfortable thing gone that had been there my whole life, a tie to a bygone era that wasn't coming back. [/quote]
