In the early hours of the morning calls were made. Police arrived just like the ambulance that waited outside of Amy Winehouse’s home they were not surprised. Twenty seven year old singer Amy Winehouse found dead.This story isn’t new.

Michael Jackson’s death was due to being medicated so heavily with a drug that was to be used in a hospital setting only.

Doctors around the world have worked for the rich and famous. Covering painful emotions with drugs. Emotions that demand control. And those who become famous can not live with these emotions inside their private worlds.

Amy’s family must have known their daughter was in trouble. But when your family surpasses you and or supports you financially some times eyes are closed.

Treatment facilities for the rich and famous have taken in millions to save the suffering souls of youth. Even those who are not youthful try to hide behind the gates and walls immersed in recovery. Thousands will enter treatment and only a few will take it seriously. Most just want the courts to get off their back.

With her deep sultry voice Amy took us for a ride into her style of music. She stated in an interview once, “I just want to be a singer.” She will always be that. In the end her life was gaining in ugly. Those who were closest just hung on waiting apparently for what they knew would come, death.

We must always remember there are those of us who are just walking in death. We wait for the final curtain to close and try not to suffer to much on the journey there.

Amy can not tell us why she felt so much emotional pain. From her photos we can see she was in pain. Her fans will miss her as I am sure her family will to.
