This news came as quite a shock to me, largely because she's so young and it came on so sudden.

Thoughts and prayers are with the family, of course, and the rest of the music world who lost a true icon yesterday. However, it sounds like you were quite the fan yourself, so I hope you're holding up okay. I know the confusion and the emptiness that comes with the circumstance; even if you don't know an individual personally, when their art speaks to you - as it sounds like Dolores O'Riodan's has - the connection formed is no less real.

Take your time to sort through your thoughts. I'll try to make a point of being around today, if you want to message me and talk, but if you would rather do some reflecting on your own, that's fine, too. It's a unique feeling to be grappling with, but don't let anyone make it feel insignificant.
