Is it considered normal to not only be saddened by a celebrities death but to also feel like crying?

Question

like when i think about bernie mac, or see his pictures, or mr 3000 i feel that way knowing that hes gone. i still believe it.

Answer 1

of course it is.

i cried for heaps long after Steve Irwin died. As an Aussie it was so upsetting.

If you look up to them, it is like having your role model or even your friend taken away so it is perfectly understandable.

Answer 2

It's normal especially for someone young with a soft heart.

I cried when John Lennon was killed.

I cried when Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane went down.

Answer 3

Celebrities are often inspirational in our lives and we grow up watching, listening and enjoying their work, making them such a big part of our life, that its like losing someone close to you, even though you may not know them personally.  I think it's normal.  

Answer 4

We all feel greatly saddened about Bernie Mac's passing.  And its ok to cry about it.

I knew a few people who cryed when George Carlin died... Its normal.

Answer 5

i think its okay. i think if it happened unexpectedly and not of old age people would react more strongly.

its like that all humanity is connected. so if someone dies you feel the loss of life like its someone close to you.

i cried when a political figure was assassinated altho normally i didnt follow his activities or admire him.

its like when someone from your country wins the olympics you feel so happy tho it isnt you. or if something ggod happens to someone else like a baby being born you feel happy for them and the empathy binds you deeply.

Answer 6

It is very hard to believe..and yes you're normal, more than normal, actually, because now a days some humans don't even have sympathy anymore.
