I feel this . But , in a way , it ' s ok . We ' ve been so lucky to have been touched and influenced by some incredible actors , musicians , famous people and the like . For some , Florence Henderson was just an actor who was on a popular show back in the day , but for others , she was most certainly a mother figure and a role model . There are stories of people who had nothing positive in their lives but a show they periodically watched . I ' ve heard these stories about Mister Rogers , and also certainly about The Brady Bunch . If things weren ' t good at home , a show like these could be the bright spot in your day . I believe that every little thing we do echoes into the human experience . When I learn of the passing of a beloved celeb , and especially one who represented something positive , I ' m almost as inspired as I am sad sometimes . The fact that we ' re talking about them , and essentially mourning her in a digital community or on a digital platform this just shows that this person was loved , if even for a character they gave us , and overall that is just so powerful to me . It just makes me smile a little . TLDR Yes , fuck 2016 , but also remember to smile that something happened a tad more then mourning its loss and other existential bullshit ! .
