Your invoking the Tin Man's words suggests something else that occurs to me. With no heart, we would not feel the pain, much like I Am A Rock, "if I never loved, I never would have cried".......We counsel each other with words that make a great deal of sense; that being, if we were able to get thru this easily, then we wouldn't have had the passion for his music; many people were simply sad to hear of Kenny's passing, others unphased, not knowing him.
We had the opportunity, and we had most of our adult lives to embrace that voice.
Now that I've said it, I have to admit that I'm still angry, still stunned, still so sad. The person writing below recalled for us how Kenny's music/voice helped her thru the tragedy of her husband's death. While hard to read, it reminds me that we have many people in our lives, and some losses are even more 'significant' than the passing of an artist. This is not to minimize the emptiness we feel, but simply to suggest that with Kenny we have so much still to hold, to hear, and for that we should be grateful.
It's hard to be grateful when you feel cheated, and so abruptly. It's wonderful the Forum is here so that we can externalize these feelings, and to share.
No words of wisdom intended; altho grief shared very often more manageable.
