Actually crying at the passing of Matthew Perry

[coffeetofunction]

I've been reading MP book for a couple of weeks. I'm only about ten pages away from finishing. I feel so sad about his passing that I am actually crying. I've been a massive friends fan since I was 11 so almost 25 years...... my daughter rang my at about 1 in the morning to tell me. I keep crying

I'm in some FB Friends groups as I'm a huge Friends fan and there's a lot of people feeling the exact same way. I think it's because it's a comfort show for many (it is for me) and it's been a constant in our lives, you feel like you "know" them, it's losing a big part of your life and an era ending. Have also just read his book, he went through so much.

I have been the same today. I woke up to a txt from my adult daughter telling me and was so shocked! I then went downstairs and put on the news and cried all morning! I actually feel a little stupid at how upset I've been, I don't cry about deaths of famous people normally, the last time I did was Princess Diana, in my twenties. I know Matthew Perry was not Chandler, but I think this is where it was coming from. That show got me through so many difficult times when I have struggled, as for many, it was like a comfort, made me laugh even when I was crying! I had to come off FB today because it's everywhere and I still feel too emotional to see it. Hopefully after a good night's sleep I won't feel like this tomorrow.

It's very sad OP . I have also shed a tear over the passing of a couple of celebrities who meant a lot to me. It's not silly at all.

OP I hope you're all feeling less weepy about his passing. I know most people in real life haven't understood why I've been so upset but I think it's going to take more than a few days to get over it. I keep correcting my DP when she refers to him as chandler. I can't imagine how his friends and family are feeling after losing him after the battles he went though and when it wasn't expected
