      I lost my 8 year old Son 35 years ago this June 5. I was 8 months pregnant with my youngest Son who was born that July. His birth saved me from a very dark place. We’ll carry their LOVE with us always! Not even death can take that away! 🥰

    Unfortunately our family knows the loss of a child. Our daughter passed away 10 years ago. It is a gut wrenching, drop to your knees agony. You find you have 2 choices, curl up in a ball or stand up, because your wife and other child or children need you. And your spouse / partner knows you need them.
    You realize you have to go back to work, school and everybody knows your misfortune.
    You lose many / most friends because they have children and don’t know what to do or say. You dread the question “ Do you have any children”.
    As time passes, the gut wrenching pain subsides as you get used to the new unnormal normal. You sit in your car alone and cry, but then see and hear little things in life that you know are messages from Heaven.
    Life is not easy for everyone, life is a challenge for everyone. Just remember how strong you are and have empathy, sympathy & compassion toward people….try and be a good kind person.

      My only (adult) daughter was murdered 20+ years ago. I was in therapy at the time -- thank goodness. My therapist let me cry for a couple of months. Then she said: "You can grieve for the rest of your life, if you want to. I won't try to stop you. However, if you grieve for the rest of your life -- your daughter will still be dead, and you will be dead too." I chose life. You CAN get through this AND over it. Get some professional help. 💖💖

I love how he carefully worded the questions to be respectful and leave it open if Robert wanted to answer it. All of the ones I've seen him interview are familiar with him, and excited to be interviewed by him as well.

      I saw him interviewed on Swedish TV around fifteen years ago, also a very good interview and he seemed very relaxed and at ease - certainly more at ease than in the mid-seventies I think. At one point, the host of the talk show had decided to stage a joke and had a couple of musicians "play a song backwards" - I forget which Zep song it was, but it was a reference of course to the rumours of mystery backwards messages in Zeppelin songs. Robert was immediately in on the spoof, it was an idea he clearly enjoyed. It more or less sounded like chaos, of course... Then after a while, when the band had switched to playing "Custard Pie" instead, the normal way. he feigned surprise: "Hey! Now they are not playing backwards anymore?!" 😁😆

I’ve looked into his eyes from the first row of the 2000 seat Boston Orpheum and told him we love him and told him “it’s ok” when he looked at me as he felt the closeness of someone, who jumped onstage and started to hug him, but was grabbed by a bodyguard offstage and taken off the other side. Robert never even saw him…that’s how smooth the bodyguard was:) Saw Jimmy and him at the Boston Garden in the Unledded Tour, Worcester Centrum when The Black Crows were fronting him, Foxwoods and Harbor Lights with Alison Kraus. He has brought us so much joy.

    The grief was and is immense. He is still alive and i imagine his grief is immense.
    Robert i am 42 and was listening to you since 14. When 50 something males are playing your music, the music is still inside of me, memorized.
    I think my favorite was Kashmir with Najwa Aktar.
    I saw you in North Carolina with Patty Griffin.
    But i prefer to connect on a simple level
    An equal level, rather than as a fan.
    I've been through a lot of loss.
    I appreciate your sincerity, your authenticity, and your poetic soul.
    Thank you.

    I have 4 daughter's and haven't seen any of them for 10yrs or so and although my heart feels eternally crushed i cannot imagine this mans grief from losing his child forever, my only solice is that my girls are living happy productive lives elsewhere, this allows me smile at times between the tears.

    I absolutely love everything about this man. True legend globally and in every single way. Thank you Robert for some of the most timeless music I've ever had the pleasure of hearing and enjoying.
