Everyone is different when it comes to grief. I agree, I’m sure her family and close friends were not ready for this, which harkens back to everyone is different.
To be fair, if I remember correctly, it took Barry quite a while to make a statement about Robin’s death, so… Hmmm, I don’t think Barry ever made a statement about his brothers death, he had Ashley put together a video, “Bodding”. I’ll wait fo

I agree with absolutely everything you said about Olivia, but why exactly do we need to hear anything from Barry, though? I think it’s an honestly so bizarre how much value our society now places in the speed at which someone jumps on their phone to pos

I’m not sure if it’s a need, per say, more like a desire. I chalk it up to human nature. It’s a warm and fuzzy feeling when people acknowledge, particularly in death. But like I tell my students, my degree is in technology, not psychology, so I’ll
Speaking only for myself, my first thought was not “what will Barry say?” I thought about her family’s long hard battle that they fought with their loved one. Of course, my thoughts went to Barry as well as John, and Andy. I didn’t think about Rob

I was SO shocked and saddened to hear about Olivia’s death on the 6:30 news last night. I had no idea that her cancer had returned for a third time. :(
I’ve been thinking of Barry, and how upset he must be right now. A couple of nights ago I happened to watch the ONO 1997 video, seeing Olivia and her daughter Chloe in the front row, knowing that she was there as a dear friend of the bros.
My sincere condolences to Olivia’s family. My thoughts are also w Barry and her other friends.

I don't see it that way. In that, I doubt Robin ever actually thought he could supplant Barry as the leader. I think it's more likely Robin would have wanted things to be on an even par, but I suspect that was always difficult as well and for various reas

I don't know if this has been mentioned on the list but there is a Bee Gees podcast called, get this, "Words- The Bee Gees Podcast".
They've been discussing each Bee Gees album per episode. But a few days ago they had as a guest our very own Joe Brennan. It'd definitely worth a listen. If anything, for those of you like me who finally got to hear Joe's voice after all these years. LOL.
