Stevie after her mother's passing?

[Rod~A~Little]

How do you think the passing of Stevie's mom will affect her?

Will she withdraw from the public or throw herself into her work and writing?

Grieving and then writing, writing, writing...I have a hunch that her next FM cd will be some of her most beautiful music...god bless her

[THINKABOUTIT]

I do believe she'll eventually go back to what she loves best :) I just wonder when...I have not lost a parent; I can only imagine :angel:

[Macfanforever]

I have to agree with both of you.Writing,working and writing.I've Lost my Mom,sister and my step dad in the last 8 years.It will take her time to heal.She will write more beautiful music.We will pray for her too.Mrs Nicks and Mr Nicks are like mom and dad to us.

[PolishStevieFan]

Let's hope that she'll find an inner peace in songwriting or any other realm of art. Something that ultimately she will be able to share with her second family, which means "us", her fans.

[Kena]

From my experience, when you lose someone, it always seems to open up past wounds... so you have to deal with them a bit and go through the grieving process of the newly lost loved one... I haven't lost a parent (yet) therefore I can't say I know the pain, but as the story goes, losing a parent is the natural progression of the life cycle. I once asked my grandmother, who is still living, if she was afraid of death and told her I was afraid of dealing with her death...she simply said "it's natural, your children are supposed to outlive you" and I found those words extremely comforting. Stevie will go through the grieving process like anyone else...who knows, maybe reunite with an old lover or possibly have someone new in her life, which will help her get through her darkest hour... (dang diggity I wish "that girl was me") she will surely write some beautiful songs like someone else mentioned...out of great tragedy will come great music right?


Of course it’s easy for me to say all this when I’m not her… just my thoughts. For what it’s worth.

If the person has lived to a good age, that's extremely comforting. My father was 75 when he died, but it still felt sudden. I guess because, until his stroke he was hearty and, when we walked together, he would mock me because he thought I couldn't keep up with him. So, it was shocking when he was stuck down. On the other hand, my grandmother was 87 when she passed and had been getting progressively weaker in those last years, so my brain had a lot of time to adjust to the thought that she would someday not be here. And her death was not devastating when it came, even though I loved her a great deal.

With Stevie's father, I think Stevie said on that SYW tour that she knew it would be his last time touring with her. They were making memories in preparation and I'm sure that eased the path a bit.

[Rod~A~Little]

I do agree that it is never easy losing someone. But it was mentioned that Stevie said on the SYW tour that her father's passing was expected, however her mother's was not.
Stevie is a Rock Soldier and I am sure she will grieve and then find the way to write and record some amazing songs! I just hope it's not another decade before we get to hear the next chapter in her recordings!

[JamieK]

I think it is iteresting to even think of what Stevie will do because life is so different now. Time moves differently in grief.

I don't know if anyone can relate but this one is as if your glasses are on crooked, you see people moving their mouths, you hear what they are saying, but there is no interest in comprehending or responding. In a minute, you go to pick up the phone to call and your hand stops in mid-air and you remember you can't now. No touching times. Days go by dark then light then dark. More people talking, calling, writing, taking you places. The constant wondering if she's OK there and what it's really like there and if it hurt to go and when will you get to see her again. Maybe go now to be with her, no that's not right. Floods of instant moments, memories, places, ages, times, being held, cradled, soothed, consoled, consulted, supported, loved, loved, loved. Not like that one ever again. Stop the thoughts, help the feelings, maybe listen to some music. Hear those words take on new meaning?

Do? What is there to do? I guess we will all wait and see. What. she. will. do. I know I'd like to have coffee with her and laugh. That would be a great thing to do. I love you guys. Stevie fans are the best. Let's keep sending her healing light and love. :)

[DESTINYRU!ES]

I send her healing and light and may she find comfort in her own lyrical prose:

"And the light that shines through the shinin' night
Is the lamp that I carried from my mother's home
And the light that burns through the window pane
And the love remains"

May it burn and heal your soul dear heart! Barbara would want that for you.

I lost my father back in 2003 and one of my aunts (who was like a second mother) just died at the end of October. For a long time, grief and sorrow affect you in ways you don't even know. But even after a little while, the weight of the darkness and sadness start to lift, and if you're strong enough, you naturally resume your life and work. Right now, I'm sure Stevie and her brother (and the rest of the family) are experiencing the early days of it, where you just take... one. step. at. a. time.

Hopefully, with enough support and love, Stevie will rebound and soldier on. One thing is certain: she won't be exactly the same. In any event, we should all be ready to embrace her when she returns to us.

I agree. And thank you for putting it so well.

One of the best metaphors I ever read for grief is that when someone you love dies it's as if a huge jar of marbles exploded in the room that is your life. You spend a short time running about crazy trying to pick them all up again, but the truth is you're going to keep finding the odd one here and there for the rest of your life, even when you haven't found one for months and months.

Grief. Marbles. I lost my mother when I was 8 and I'm 47 now and that is pretty much how it feels to me. But I've also lived some very, very happy times in those 39 years. Life goes on, and it will for Stevie and Christopher. Bless them.

I am sorry for your loss, and I can pretty much relate to what you said. I cannot imagine losing my Mom at that age, 'cause you have all this time still ahead of you, and are left to try and pick up the pieces. I lost my mother shortly after my 17th b-day, and that was hard enough. She was 38 and just too young, but very sick, and it happened so fast that I was in shock. Everything that weekend was a blur. I think the hardest part is shortly after the funeral, when you are alone with your thoughts and memories. Yeah, life does go on, but I still miss my Mom to this day. As I'm sure you know, with a loss like that, you learn to cope with it the best way you can. Everyone grieves differently too. My heart really goes out to Stevie and her family, but especially Stevie, as she was so close to her Mom. Been praying for the Nicks family, and I will continue to, and yes, bless them, and bless you too.

Love that metaphor! Reminds me of a John Irving quote:

"When someone you love dies, and you’re not expecting it, you don’t lose her all at once; you lose her in pieces over a long time — the way the mail stops coming, and her scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of her that are gone. Just when the day comes — when there’s a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that she’s gone, forever — there comes another day, and another specifically missing part."

[drag00n]

Between the Marbles metaphor and now this Irving quote, I am sitting here in tears.

I hope someone reads through all these postings and prints them for Stevie to read one of these days.. She has so much love and respect out here o=it takes your breath away,,,

Just when the day comes — when there’s a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that she’s gone, forever — there comes another day, and another specifically missing part."

That's a very truthful quote.

We all grieve differently, as I've learned after my Mom's somewhat sudden passing in 2008. She was 60. I still am dealing with it, but it's a lot different now than when it first happened. It's not as raw, but certain things will still open up the grief wound.

I had a hard time seeing all of her things disappear from my Dad's house. The house is so empty now. It's like, there's nothing left. That used to make me angry, but then I was counseled that those were just "things", and her spirit will always be with me.
I know this to be true because I get signs from her. Some signs are more subtle than others. I got one today as I was thinking of my Mom, wishing she was with us at the beach today, eating Haagan Daz ice cream as we often did together. Just then, a little bird flew down and landed on our table. It kind of looked at us, hopped across the table and left. These are the kind of signs, that for me, let me know that my Mom is ok and happy, and that she still loves me. I'm sure Stevie will get similar signs from her mother. Stevie seems to be the kind of person to look for them. My heart goes out to her.

"The timeless face of [our] rock and roll woman while her heart breaks" ~~~~

Agreed Dragoon...we know Stevie is aware of how much her fans love her....yet does she really realize the magnitude? :) I wonder :) When we say we would do most anything for her, it's true. Every solo album, every Mac song...we are healed and happy people because of them. And when life is going in a great direction, the words make it all the better.

At this point in her life, I imagine a massive circle of us, her fans, and Stevie sitting somewhere in it with us; smiling at us, laughing, seeing how we know the lyrics better than she does ;)...her eyes growing sweet and wide over how much we know about her past...the expressions on her face :) She'd cry over reading everything we the fans write about her and would be passing around to her. "[She'll] go on forever, [she's] that good"....;)

[TsnFan4Ever]

As several of you have already expressed so eloquently, this loss is and will be a profound one for Stevie, Chris and the rest of the Nicks family. Although Stevie is a very strong woman and has survived many challenges throughout her life, this loss will affect her in ways that no one can predict.

I lost my mother when I was 8 years old and my father when I was 37. Both were devastating losses and although they made me more self-reliant and spurred me on to many successful ventures in my life, the sense of loss from losing one's parent (at any age) is one that can't even be described to others who haven't experienced it. Then, when you lose your last parent, as one of you said, you feel like an orphan--whether you're a child, in your 20's or in your 60's. There's a sense of abandonment like no other loss can create and the people who knew you best and loved you no matter what you did are now gone (and no one else will ever love you the way a parent loves a child).

I've worked as a professional counselor for many years and studied all the stages of death and loss in my graduate programs, helped clients through all kinds of losses, and could even label the stages as I went through them (shock/denial, depression, anger, and resolution) and yet none of that helped when I lost my father. For Stevie, the only thing we can do is offer her our prayers and support during this difficult time. If she needs to take time off from her career to work through her grief, I think we all need to respect her decision to do this as well. She knows how much we all love her and that we'll be here whenever she's ready to come back to us.

I think she may take a few months off, but these days it seems like performing and being around her fans is more healing when something sad happens to her.... I hope she does take some time to heal, but hopes she doesn't stay away too long.

When her father died in August 2005 she took a few months off and then started performing concerts in Feb 2006.

I read in an interview, which I cannot find now, that the first several concerts she did after her father's death, were the hardest thing she ever did. And her mother was there to help her through it. This time.......................................

I am still worrying about her, too. I know she is a strong person and will learn to deal with it but it seems hard loosing your last parent and i strongly feel for her.

It is great that so many of us are sharing their experiences about loosing beloved people and family members, i am not really over loosing my grandma and great uncle as well and it is good to read the metaphers and storys of all of you.
But i guess you re never really over that.

Stevie has still family around her like her brother and jessica and i bet they will help each other to cope with it.
She and her family are in my thoughts and prayers .

I agree with everyone that there will be a rash of writing, but I don't think most of it will show up on any Fleetwood Mac album....I can't help but feel Stevie will save most of this material for a solo record. In fact, once the numbness wears off (and if there has already been talks about a new FM album), I could see Stevie asking the band to put that project on hold so that she could go into the studio and get this baby done.
Question is......who would produce it?

A new album would be great but I put my money on a new FM cd by the end of the year. The question is. Who will produce that?

[Macfanforever]

She probably write some beautiful songs about mom and dad and hopefully gives her a hit tune maybe on the country charts.Get Dave to produce it .Plus as mention from us.To get back at it with the boys of Fleetwood Mac and have Dave at the controls too.It will take time.As of this February.It will be 3 years since I lost my mom at age 77.I just keep my head up and keep on moving.

Exactly. SYW took them 18 months to record. Tango, Mirage, Tusk, and Rumours all took 12 months. Even if Fleetwood Mac started recording tomorrow (which isn't going to happen), we wouldn't see an album any earlier than the summer of 2013. It doesn't even sound like they can all get on the same page to even make a new album, so my opinion is there is absolutely zero chance of a new Mac album this year. It's not looking so great for next year, either. :(

Don't be such a downer! They could have an album already recorded and we just don't know! It doesn't matter what's likely and what isn't, anything could happen with Fleetwood Mac!!!

I hate negativity, but have to face the reality:

If they can't even get it together to release something that has already recorded (Buckingham Nicks), we can't expect them to be expeditious in doing anything else. But I do hope for another Fleetwood Mac album. As much as I love their solo work, I consider Fleetwood Mac as their home base.

[APerfectLie]

Don't be such a downer! They could have an album already recorded and we just don't know! It doesn't matter what's likely and what isn't, anything could happen with Fleetwood Mac!!!

I would love for this to be the case! But I think it'd be very hard for Fleetwood Mac to secretly record an album. With all the social networking sites these days, someone somewhere would post something about all four of them being in the studio. Not to mention both Stevie and Lindsey have been touring, so the only time they could have really done much of anything would be back in July. They could of course regroup this month and crank out an album in less than ten months, but FM really doesn't have a track record for doing so and all these other factors come into play:

- Stevie herself said there would be nothing of Fleetwood Mac in 2012.
- Stevie just lost her mother.
- Stevie still hasn't released her documentary.
- For some reason November and December seem to never be months chosen to release new music, therefore they would probably want to release the album before then or hold it until spring 2013.
- It is also an election year, which we know Stevie held her Soundstage Sessions DVD until March 2009 because they didn't feel it would get much notice amongst all the election chaos. Therefore, instead of getting it out before November, record execs would probably want to hold anything of theirs until 2013 if it wasn't ready for release by July.

I'm not saying it isn't possible, we just really don't have that much of a chance of it happening. The way I see it, we will be lucky if we even see anything out next year. I do believe they will release more music, I just don't see them getting in any hurry. I dare them to prove me wrong tho! :D

I agree with all of this....I said in an earlier post "at the end of this year" I should have said...early Spring 2013....followed by a summer tour...I just don't believe Stevie will record another solo project...after the passing of her sweet mom, she will run for the protection of the FM boys...

They couldn't even re-release Rumours (again)!

FWIW...and, consider the source:

Singer Stevie Nicks is reportedly recording a new solo album as a tribute to her late mother.

Barbara Nicks died in Arizona at the age of 84, with her famous daughter by her side, on 28 December (11).

The Fleetwood Mac star later spoke out about the devastating loss, admitting, "She supported me and all of my dreams. She was the one that made it all possible."

And now the Landslide singer is set to remember her mum by composing a record in her honour, according to the National Enquirer.

A source says, "Stevie always finds something positive in the worst situations, and no one's surprised at her decision to write a tribute album to her mum.

"While sitting at Barbara's bedside, she recalled the tremendous influence her mother had on her life... Stevie has been writing constantly and wants to have the tribute album out by summer."

In fact, once the numbness wears off (and if there has already been talks about a new FM album), I could see Stevie asking the band to put that project on hold so that she could go into the studio and get this baby done.
Question is......who would produce it?

Wouldn't it be cool if Jimmy Iovine came back to work with her.... :) And maybe even more of her old band mates..........who knows...maybe she can bring Bobbie Hall back, I kind of miss her.... :cool:

How do you think the passing of Stevie's mom will affect her?

Will she withdraw from the public or throw herself into her work and writing?

My mom will be gone one year in March. I was at her bedside too, holding her hand, when she passed. I also write. Haven't been able to write much since then, but I have other complications of the world swirling around that Stevie doesn't.

Stevie is a strong person. But mom...a mom that you love and who supported you is a loss that's so hard to get through. You go through your days not realizing just how great it was to know that mom was 'there'. Even if you didn't talk every day. Every holiday is like there's a hole in the room where mom should be. That rock in your life is gone.

I hope Stevie takes whatever time or healthy path that she needs to take to get through this. I hope she has loving shoulders to lean on when it's really bad and a good friend to talk with. I got counseling. Just to talk about mom and what I missed. And it's good to say, "I love you, mom." outloud. It just feels good and I know she hears me.

God be with Stevie and family through all of this to comfort and strengthen.
