My mother died four years ago. I wasn't anywhere near her when it happened because she was supposed to be out of the country for two weeks....some four days into her trip she was in a hospital and died. The only other family I had were my dementia stricken grandmother who was with my mother and now rots in a nursing home in that country, and my two dogs my mother and I shared.
I'm not over that and probably never will be, but I can tell you one thing:
James Horner, through his music, helped me to get through it. He was there for me, in essence.
Horner was there for all the isolated days and nights that followed, he was there for my cross-country move to start over. Horner was there when I fell in love with the girl who helped me to look forward in life and eventually married. James Horner was also there, all through his music, when my son was born four months ago.
That's the power of an art form like music. It can be linked to either your favorite movie moments, or it can show you its true power and be linked to your own life moments both good and tragic.
So when someone says they miss James Horner now that he's gone, I understand both perspectives very well.
P.s. The whole "watch what you say to me" on a message board is such an idle threat to even type the words is a waste of time. Not to mention, you started it. Glad it's finished.
I understand you completely my friend.
Since my early childhood (in the days of Willow) James' music always accompanied me in the darkest hours and in the happiliest moments.
So, last year my father had suffer a cerebral ictus (stroke) and died few days later, in that bitter waiting I heared one time and another "Wolf Totem" and the cue "Return to the wild" hoping the agony was more reduced.
When Horner died, I feel so lonely but when I heard The 33 track of the homonymous album, finally cried like a child.
Today, I heard snippets of the upcoming Collage, and cried again with the theme "Jose's Martyrdom" arranged by the Samuelsen siblings.
Feel like an orphan without them.
Sorry for this message, need to liberate me.

not weird at all. I love James. I never met him either but I listen to his music, every day. It has had a lasting effect on me. And while I also own and love scores from Basil and Jerry, I dont miss them either. But i here and then cry about the loss of James who was in my mind every bit as brilliant as Beethoven.
