Each situation of grief is different, too. And don't foget the stages of grief we work through, some of us work through them faster than others. There is no right or wrong with grief, just what we need to work through it. When Maurice passed, I was devastated - talk about slow news, I didn't learn until the next day!! I was in the car driving home from an appointment when a Bee Gee song came on - it was a beautiful January day and Bee Gee music topped it off, until the DJ said it was in tribute to the late Maurice Gibb. I almost crashed the car! I used to watch the videos - I was in self-imposed denial, as long as I saw him I would think everything was okay. After the videos were over, then the reality set in. Then I went through anger - WHY, WHY, WHY?? And I couldn't watch the videos at all. I've gotten past the denial, and almost past the anger. Now I watch the videos knowing it will never be the same, but I can appreciate that I have the 40+ years of wonderful music, memories and videos. And I look forward to whatever the future may bring. I also find comfort with the fact the although someone may not be with us physically, they are always with us in spirit. Thank you for your post about your grief and know that your are not unusual - you worked through it in your own way :) Joy --part1_3b.3a500ab6.2c2e794f_boundary-- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2003 00:58:23 EDT From: CADaisyJane@aol.com Subject: Re: Digest (06/28/2003 00:01) (#2003-4240) --part1_9d.3b4a1e38.2c2e7a6f_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Kathy - I'm with with you this week, Closer than Close and Wildflower (also Above and Beyond, sorry but I had to add this) Joy :) --part1_9d.3b4a1e38.2c2e7a6f_boundary-- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2003 07:55:49 +0200 From: "Per Bausager" Subject: SV: fAVORITES For me 2 songs stand out: Dimensions Man in the Middle Per -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: ListMember@brothersgibb.com [mailto:ListMember@brothersgibb.com]På vegne af Kathy Hansen Sendt: 28. juni 2003 05:39 Til: words List Member Emne: Re: fAVORITES Hi, Genine!

I have always liked Lay It On Me, which (for the very few who don't know) is a swamp song from 1971 on the album 2 Years On. I also like Wildflower, Man In The Middle, and Country Woman. I also enjoy On Time, Trafalgar. I never could pick only one.

Saruhan It's not one of those songs that you play once, when I have it on I just keep pushing the repeat button, and yes I agree Living Eyes is a very good album Brian --part1_bc.3a57ade9.2c2e9d4e_boundary-- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2003 03:34:06 EDT From: LawrenceFulham@aol.com Subject: Re: Digest (06/27/2003 12:01) (#2003-4238) --part1_157.2074db7b.2c2e9eee_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 27/06/03 17:03:59 GMT Daylight Time, ListMember@brothersgibb.com writes: > much awareness of him as a musical artist.

Everybody feels differently and everybody copes in a different way with bad news. There is no point in making yourself feel sadder than you do just because you think you should - we are all different. I listened to Bee Gees music straight away, though for the first week or two I didn't want to hear loud upbeat things like their disco music or 'You Win Again' etc. I tended to listen to their more sentimental music, particularly 'I Still Love You'. I didn't dwell on it for more than a couple of weeks, as I have a very busy life. I even had to take some children to a pantomime on that morning - it was the last thing I wanted to do. I couldn't laugh at all, and didn't enjoy it, but I couldn't let them down at the last minute - nobody would have understood why I couldn't do it, as it wasn't a relative. Also I believe in making the most of all the music the Bee Gees have done in the past. I also watch the occasional video, although I do get upset when I see the biographical ones, expecially where Maurice and Yvonne look so happy together. 'Man in the Middle' makes me sad, but I still listen to it, as I think it's good to remember how things were. If it brings a few tears, that's healthier than keeping it bottled up. But, quite honestly, all I ever had of the Bee Gees was their music and videos and I've still got them now. I was never lucky enough to meet any of them, or even see them in person, so I can't miss what I never had, although I was bitterly disappointed that I'll now never be able to see them, at least as a trio.

I must say Maurice's are usually not the best Gibb songs, but Above And Beyond are. It is in my top- 25 Gibb songs, the only leaded by Maurice. I think Maurice songs are kind of simple, little, not major songs. Of course I like them , but not as much as the three brothers songs, or the ones by Robin and/or Barry.
