'Honor your feelings and your experience. Trust that healing comes with time.'
celebrity deaths like you knew the person who died can feel weird. Despite this person being a perfect stranger, it can feel kind of like you've lost an acquaintance, or even a friend, when a beloved celebrity dies. It's not quite the same, of course. You don't have anything specific to grasp onto — no memories of times you hung out, no old articles of their clothing, no cards they sent you or texts you've saved.
"Celebrities connect with us, and even though we didn’t personally know them, their presence is still felt in our lives," she says. "For example, maybe the individual was an integral part of your childhood in some way. Maybe they were your first crush or maybe they represented an ideal, something you hoped that you could be. Or perhaps the celebrity held a particular important memory in your life — for example, they starred in a TV show that you watched growing up.
"Celebrities can be a big part of our daily lives — they may provide us with laughs, comfort, entertainment, excitement, or a sense of escape. When a celeb we feel connected to passes away, it can feel like losing someone close to us because they may have been integral in some of our happiest or saddest moments," Catchings says. "They made us laugh, they made us cry, but most importantly, they helped us forget about our difficult moments when we needed it most.
"Remember the individual in whatever way you feel will be helpful," she says. "Some people find comfort in sharing their memories on social media and connecting with other users who are also experiencing grief and loss.
