Glenn Frey: Gone but not Forgotten

[GlennLover]

My apologies if this has been posted before. It's a podcast where Rusty Young talks about knowing Glenn before he was famous. He's really broken up about Glenn's passing. http://thesoundla.com/2016/01/podcas...ks-glenn-frey/

On the way home from the doctor's office a few hours ago, Bob Seger's Against the Wind came on the radio. I choked back a few tears because I knew that Glenn sang backing vocals on that song. I told my mom that Glenn sang on that song. She responded with "Will you shut up about Glenn? He died. Yes, it sad that he did, but he's just a musician. It's not like when your dad died. It happened, and you need to get over it". She ranted for a good 5 minutes. All I could do was not look at her, keep my tears at bay, and remind myself that she doesn't understand. (That hurt badly)

All due respect to your mom, AG, but... what the hell? That's so not okay. Glenn was like a family member for all of us and that's how we'll grieve for him. That said, I hope that being on the Border is helping you out.

My mom doesn't understand me nor my deeply passionate love of music. She can't comprehend how much this has affected me. This is par for the course for her, actually. Right now, I'm just trying to keep my distance from her. The border has indeed helped meout alot. . Thanks to everyone here because ya'll can understand.

Well I spent most of today in the hospital. I have epilepsy, and thus I have to be careful because seizures can get triggered if I don't take care of myself. Still, these last two days, I haven't been eating or sleeping much, I've been having bouts of hysterical crying and bouts of numbness where I just stare at nothing in silence. Finally, the stress took its toll. This morning, I had a seizure in front of my apartment complex and I got taken to the hospital. I'm OK now except for a scratch near my eye and a horrible headache, but I do need to find a way to cope better. This thread has been really helping me.

I am new here but please take care of your self

At church, my youth pastor was talking to the teenagers about some interesting subjects.

So she started to talk certain people you should stay away. So she brought turkeys and eagles. One stays grounded and the other flies high. When she brought up eagles. I just wanted to cry and then my radio coming on after my purse hit the on button.

Found this a few minutes ago. I've never heard of the man, but apparently he did some photos for the band.

I hear what you guys are saying about the thread title. Is "Farewell Glenn Frey" better?

ETA: AG, I'm sorry your mother is so unsympathetic.

I think I know what is triggers me to start crying. Its not the ability to listen or hear Glenn's songs on the radio or watch videos that's getting me, its when I see the words: "Glenn Frey 1948 - 2016", "as we mourn", "as we pay tribute", or "we've lost". I just can't read anything that remind me Glenn is gone. That's when reality sets in and tells me he's gone and you're not dreaming. .


I think I see why I'm able to listen to any of his songs on the radio or Pandora/IHeart Radio. I mourn that way until I'm reminded that he's gone.

"Farewell" me cry too, although I don't know what wouldn't. It just sounds so final. "Remembering Glenn Frey", "Tributes to Glenn Frey". Maybe those aren't quite right. Anybody have any other ideas?
