I am actually not sure where to begin . . . Perhaps she is no more than a famous death to you, but I am starting to realize that my thoughts and feelings - and actions - connect me via a web, to a myriad of other women around the world. I read the news pieces on my phone. Search her on YouTube and devouring her feed on Twitter and Facebook, even if I have read the posts before. I thought that Faith and Courage was my favourite album, but when I skip through I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got . . . Well god damn. I wish we could stop replaying Nothing Compares 2 U for long enough to really appreciate I Am Stretched on Your Grave or Last Day of Our Acquaintance. And the clip at the end of the Nothing Compares documentary, as her voice soars Thank You for Hearing Me from Universal Mother. Divine.
Beautiful reflection and memories Jana. She lived her life artfully, genuinely, humanly and truthfully. As you said, her music will now be my playlist for mourning and grief-filled times, just as it helped me cope with teenage angst and disappointment.

May she be at peace at last.
