They had a way of speaking, acting, and even expressing themselves that made you feel understood. It was like they were crossing a screen, a stage or a page and saying, “I understand you.”
And it always feels possible. Real. Human.
In a world of needs and appearances, you need something you might have hoped for.
That’s why this loss feels so personal.
When this type of news appears, the reaction changes; the initial reaction is unbelief.
“No… that’s terrible.”
You update the page.
See another source.
We hope it was a mistake.
But then the confirmations began to come. You start waiting. They are starting to take action. Memories flood social media.
And suddenly the truth becomes undeniable.
They’re gone.
There are special types of mourning: the duel for losing someone you never knew, but who you somehow knew. It’s quiet, but deep. Subtle, but unique.
You may find yourself looking into the void.
You may have seen old movies, interviews, performances, and speeches.
You may have felt an unexpected knot in your throat.
Everything’s fine.
Because this is not just about famous news.
