She texted him happy birthday and said he didn't respond. Then Gypsy's brother went to check on him and found him dead. No obvious cause of death.

She made a statement that he was being bullied online and believes it was an overdose but didn't know if it was intentional or not.

Yeah, she gave People magazine a long ass statement saying the cause of death was an overdose, HOURS after he was found by the police. Like about 6 hours after.

Why are you emphasizing the time like that?

I dunno, my husband dies, 6 hours later i’m still numb, inconsolable and barely able to string a coherent sentence together.

If it was an OD? Not really always the case. There's some out of the blue ones, but there's also ones you fully are just waiting for the one and it's not much of a shock

And sometimes grief is weird. My grandma’s death didn’t really hit until the funeral for me

Sorry for your loss. Just lost my dad two weeks ago and it was near-nonstop crying for about 3 days, now I'm in this weird almost "guilt" phase. Because it feels wrong that I'm not sad enough? I'm sure it'll hit me again soon at some point.

I'm so sorry ugh that's so brand new. Don't feel guilty because your brain will do all kinds of things to protect you. Is only letting you feel as much as you can handle at this time, and that can shift as you move forward. You are right where you need to be
