Where do we go from here????
I know a lot of people have their own opinion about Whitney Houston but here is the deal..we are all vulnerable to something..if you have moved past it - Thank God..if you have not I pray that you will. When we see someone lose this battle on earth lets pray for those who are left and still have lessons to learn, pray for the families that have to live without the ones they love. Loving someone with an addiction is not easy, but never is it not worth it.. if you have never been in that situation Thank God.. if you have may God continue to give you strength. We don't know what happened to her & does it really matter in order for us to love each other enough to still be there.
She was a mother, daughter, friend, cousin etc, so before anyone passes judgement think about how the time could be better spent doing something to change the lives of others in a positive way. Remeber life and death is in the power of the tongue. How are you using yours???

Thank you for sharing your story - I agree that we need a culture shift where we learn to respect others, show compassion and sympathy instead of self righteous judgement because no one can see the bones falling out of our own closets.
I never met her either but when I heard she died,I cried. I cried for her, lost opportunity, her daughter, mother and family. It's sad to see people with such great influence pass away taking and even sadder when you've watched them go through some of the most difficult moments in their lives as if you were a part of their lives. Love should connect us all and compel us to do consider just for a moment how someone else must feel.

I definitely agree with you. People are so quick to pass judgement disregarding how what they say will affect Bobbi Kristina, her mother, and family in general. I understand that words are simply words, but when you loose someone you loved with all your heart words tend to feel like bullets. I lost both of my parents, so i'm speaking from experiencing that loss.
In today's society compassion seems to be lost and the media just makes it worse. We as a whole need to learn and teach the younger generation to have more empathy and love for each other. I personally don't want to wait until it's too late to begin to show my love.
Thank you for this post because, even though I never met Whitney I loved her good and bad, it did not matter and her death broke my heart. It's good to hear from like minded people. There is no place in any of our lives to pass judgement on the next person, it's very sad to see how easily people forget that we just loss another great woman, mother, daughter, and friend. I can only hope that her family is shielded from the craziness that is being said. RIP Ms. Houston
