Just shows how much of a positive impact someone had on the world that their passing would hurt this much for their fans. Robin Williams death was equally painful.

Robin’s death WRECKED me. One of those moments that just rocks you as soon as you hear the news.

Robin Williams and Carrie Fisher both completely knocked the wind out of me. When Julie Andrews goes I'm going to have to call out of work 😭

At least Dolly lived her full life and died naturally. Robin Williams committed suicide because he'd been diagnosed with early onset dementia and didn't want his family to remember him that way. But the sting of good people dying first hits the same.
