In the past tense. I seem to be having trouble with this.
It's very hard for me to say "Michael was so talented" or "He was a great person". Everytime I try to type "Michael was (whatever it may be)", I find myself getting very sad. It starts to sink in all over again. I have to force myself to type Michael WAS instead of IS. It's so hard speaking of him in the past tense. His spirit is very much alive to me. I don't think i'll ever get used to it.
 
i feel the same. so if i speak of him i always do it in the present tense.

strange when they ask me about him now (people around know i'm a fan) - i feel nothing when i speak of his death. i mean in the moment i speak. and then when i am by myself it hits hard, stuff i was just talking about. may be just a long-time custom to seem as cool as possible when speaking of Michael so people listen to the truth and dont say "she's just a crazy fan" it hurts
 
I refuse to use past tense to him...I cannot accept it...I may never be able to accept it...
 
Same here it hurts to speak of him this way..
I also have a hard time writing the D word.. it hurts :(
 
I continue to speak of him in the present tense because although he has left us in one form, I believe his spirit is still here with us, and always will be!
 
Michael Jackson, voice purer than gold, and clearer than crystal, and when he sang he gave his all.
With such an unmatched resonance, unique only to him, my heart skips a beat when I hear him sing. :)
 
I know what you mean. I refuse to speak of him in the past tense aswell. I think we all do. He's so alive inside of me to just let it go like that. It makes me sad when someone said that "He was a great singer or he was this...or that...."
For me he continues to be the one and only. It just doesn't seem right to refer to him this way. I know he's physically gone but it's hard. Really hard to think like that.

Im having trouble watching any of his stuff and i really hate that because i really want to. I can't though, because instead of celebrating wht we had, i keep on grieving for what we haven't.

i'm having trouble listening to the songs. i can watch but cannot listen to his music and i feel miserable because i really miss his voice. :(
 
I totally understand how u feel. When saying stuff like mike "was" the greatest entertainer...it just doesnt sound right, it almost feels wrong to even think like that.

I cant accept it either
 
i hate saying the D word too.... and i will NEVER ever speak about michael in the past tense EVER!
I hate saying the "D" words, it hurts when I write them. I also hate writing in past tense, it just re-inforces what happened.
 
Just use present tense. He's still alive, he just went to the next world. That's all.

It's so sh*t.
There are all these variations and it just sheds more light on the different wavelengths that we are all on. No music but able to watch vids, no vids but can listen to music, no music no videos no internet.
