I am grieving right now at the horrific events that have happened to the family of Jennifer Hudson. I know it is crazy, but so many people don’t realize that celebrities have the same type of experiences as everyone else. I know first hand because I am one of them. When I was 15 I saw my mother get shot. The day before my 23rd birthday, my only brother was murdered. He was only 17 years old. The kind of grief I suffered in my divorce…..money could not make better. I have been so far down that I could look up and see the bottom.
My prayers go out to the Hudson family. I don’t have to imagine what it feels like because I KNOW what it feels like. Sometimes the public makes an actor or singer larger than life, and then life reminds you to walk in the truth. The truth is that we are all the same. We suffer, we hurt, have heartache and heartbreak. As celebrities, a lot of this is played out in the public. Blogs go out about our fashion sense, who we’re dating, or why rehab didn’t work the first time. It is not an easy path to fortune and fame, and the fortune or the fame won’t allow you to be immune to life’s tragedies.
I am going to keep the Hudson family in my prayers. It’s not the type of thing that you ever get over, but God’s mercy will allow you to live with it.
God help us all,
Miss Niecy
