Hi Josh
I'm sorry for interfering with your day. I hope you are living well.
My father died when I was 19 as well, that was two years ago. Although in a way I lost him years before that.
Anyways your words resonated with me. So thank you for those ^^
I think I've only now started to grieve consciously.
It's is kind of odd how I never get to talk about it - no one asks and I don't bring it up. I know I could just talk to someone about it but it doesn't feel right to shove it into people's faces (like now haha sorry). Especially because it's always going to be the same old story. There's not much about it that'll change.
It scares me a little that it's going to be like that from now on. Like someday I'll be 40 and I'll still want to talk about my dad.
I'll still miss my dad still feel the bigness of that loss and I've got to be okay with that.
Well so I know you miss your dad and I want to acknowledge your grief.
If you don't mind sharing what is your dad's name? What's something you'd imagine him telling you?

I hope you have a good day and I wish you peace in your grief..eventually :)

My wife died five months ago from a glioblastoma brain tumor at 47 years old. She almost made a year after her emergency surgery, so when the story of watching someone take all kinds of medication’s and deteriorating into something else really hits home.

Knowing there is no cure glioblastoma, and that she was “on the clock“ I am so grateful to have been her full-time caretaker in the last year of her life. I always told her I would be the first person she sees when she wakes and the last person she sees when she sleeps. I was looking into her eyes, and holding her hand all while telling her I loved her as she took her last breath in our home

Since she has been gone I have been working not only my regular full-time job but also a second one because I am raising our two daughters. I find it hard to get out of bed almost every day because of the emotional attachment I had with her, as a part of me died as well. Most things that I enjoy I no longer care about as my greif and guilt have overcome my well being. I don’t know how long this will last or if it ever does go away but for anyone reading this if you are feeling the same way you are not alone.

I am an only child, and when i lost my dad and two years later my mom, i was looking at my phone and realized i will be the only one left in our group chat room. I continued to pay for my mom’s cell phone bill so she does not leave the room. Few months later, when the company knew she no longer resided in the place that was set as her place of residence, they cancelled her account and her id in the chat room switched to ‘unknown’. I completely broke down that day.

I love how she mentions talking about her husband in the present tense... I generally talk about people I've lost in the present tense as well, and it always seems odd to me how people can just switch, instantaneously... especially the switch between "I love them" and "I loved them"... to me, it implies you stopped when they died, but for most people, they didn't stop. You can't just shut that down. If you are going through grief, you still love them. Now. Currently.

Something people don’t tell you is that it can take years or even decades to grieve properly. The thing is, there is no proper way to grieve. You’re allowed to feel sad, angry, happy and whatever emotion when grieving, it doesn’t change anything. I still talk to him, he may not physically be here but for me he is. I miss seeing him every day, I still imagine what he’d say to me. I love him and he’s always gonna be my dad.

One of my friends very recently told me that once your "normal" has been disrupted, you don't go back to it, you can't go back to living normally, you instead create a new normal. This has stuck with me and I find that this video resonates with the thought. One can never move on from grief, from the pain of death, time doesn't heal, it just gives you patience.

@Patriot-bn9om

This struck home; I got very emotional watching this. In a very short period of time, I lost both parents, 2 dogs and my wife was diagnosed as terminally ill. I have been crushed by this grief for many months and the weight of the world on my shoulders as my wife was expected to die months ago yet hangs on. I can barely make it through the day, can't work, and live in physical pain. I always wondered why my very religious church-going grandparents who seemed to have the happiest life and a large family sometimes teared up out of nowhere. I learned later of the tragedies they had endured including the death of their 3-month old son, loss of my grandfather's two brothers who were killed a week apart during the depression, their son who blew his arm off in shotgun accident, their infant granddaughter that died, and their grandson who committed suicide and another grandson who went to prison. I now know and understand the permanent impacts of grief. It never goes away and we just have to put it in a place where we can leverage it for the better. Every person you encounter in life is dealing with something tragic. Knowing that helps me be a better person in how I interact with others.

Thank you Nora for your wise words. I lost my parents 24 years apart under suspicious circumstances. I agree with you. You will move on, it’s in parallel everyday. I try to do normal things most days. Grief is the worst emotion anyone can experience. You cant stick a sticking plaster over it. Sometimes there are things you just can’t fix. You have to try and move on. There never forgotten there always there. Just keep going and so will I. 😊

My mother was my person.. and I was hers. She battled stg 4 cancer for 9½yrs ... to be there for me, her baby. She was my other half and I'm so lost without her. It feels wrong to move frwrd without my person. I dud the same thing with her ashes.. I wanted her to literally be a part of me.

I'm 22 and an only child and I lost my mom to cancer a few days ago. She had been fighting for 10 years and her last days were terrible she couldn't eat, hear,see or drink. My father died when I was 1. Now the only reason I have to live is to carry her name and do good to the world so that her soul can be blessed. I just pray that she is in a good place now. I just want her not to worry about me even after death. I think all we can do is pray for them. Anyone who is reading this even after 30 yrs please don't forget our moms on your prayers.

I lost my high school sweetheart a year after I started college, we had “taken a break” so we were broken up, but he was still the closest person in my life at the time. Recently, I’ve been coping with someone else’s grief, and I realized that I’ve moved forward, that I had a whole year that I gave him everything he ever wanted in life and that he is the reason why I love my husband so much, and why I understand him, because my ex taught me what real love was supposed to feel like, and that my husband now has that same love to offer. I still miss him and think about him but in a grateful way because he taught me the love I deserved from myself and other people.

I cried so hard watching this. I lost my mum, my very best friend in the whole wide world. She was a single mum to me & my brother & sister we’re a lot older than I. So it was just me & my mum at home. I was her world & even though I was 29 when she died,
(she was 59)I still felt like a little girl without her mummy. 7 years on, I still do. I’ve married, had children, I’ve lived, but I grieve every single day in one way or another for her & very few people can understand that.

I hear you. My Mum was my world, my rock, my best friend. She was strong and kind. I am heartbroken she never met my baby, who is two now, nor my husband. She would have been over the moon with her grandchild. It was especially hard when I was pregnant and out shopping for baby gear and maternity items and seeing other pregnant women with their mama's on such tender outings. My heart ached. It's been 8 years and I was crying just a few moments ago as I still cannot believe she isn't here. Sending you hugs.

Such great wisdom! I lost my wife, the love of my life, to gallbladder cancer on December 21, 2023. We were both 50 and had been married previously when we met. We were together for 6 years, married for 4 short years...but those were the best years of our lives. Like Nora said, I was wrong for so many years before I met my love. We both fell in love, I mean REALLY fell in love and we got each other, we saw each other. It was a true love that not everyone gets to have and I am so grateful I got it. I miss her every minute of every day! I will move forward and I will take her with me, very step of the way.

I always tell ppl, the big hole in my heart caused by my father's death never healed. If anything, it got more painful, and he died 18 years, 6 months, and 14 days ago <3. It still feels like it happened today. I'm still there. I've carried it with me all these years. When I realize it's been 18 plus years, I feel shocked. Did all this time really pass? How? And how did I get from there to here? ...because I'm still there.... One copes, one survives, one does not move on, one moves forward with it. She's so right. <3

@ninaj6051

Same here, this year's my father's 20th anniversary. I learned, due to specific circumstances and how society is closed to it, so I didn't have space to process it, only now, at almost 30 years of age, who lost my Dad at 9, how it profoundly affected my life in every aspect, unlike anything else. It's also a totally different kind of grief when you lose a parent early on in your life than in other ways you lose close people during your life. It's hard since my life had plenty of time to get messed up in multiple ways since then, but at least I am glad about the relief that I have these revelations and can talk about them, and I encourage myself actively since I'm not used to it.

I’m nearing six months now and while the pain is real losing all 3, the grief over my husband has been the most crippling! I’m just now beginning to feel that I can “breathe”. So Much of what Nora shares here touched some very deep emotions for me, in such a relatable way! I’ve always hated the term “move on” coz it felt like I’m suppose to carry on, walk away and live life without them, but that is impossible for me to do! “moving forward” however; is so much more acceptable to me! It will help me with those feelings of guilt and regret you experience in the process!

Watching this video is perhaps a bit too soon, because it’s so raw, I can’t even envision going on with my life without my father at my side. It doesn’t matter how old you are, when you lose a parent, you might as well be six, because that’s how I feel, like a lost little boy, with nowhere to turn, and no one to help. I don’t know what else to say, other than the huge part of me wants to join him, because I can’t face my life without him.

I lost my husband last year and I totally get it when you say "grief is so uncomfortable." I've had everything from people wondering why I'm not smiling to people actually minimizing my pain by saying it could be worse because he could have divorced me. UM, WHAT? People will do and say anything so you don't "get your sad on them." Though grief touches us all (or will touch us all), it's absolutely astounding that our society can't handle grief. Also, you are so spot on about moving forward. Howard is still with me, he made me who I have become and who I am going forward. I can't be the person I am now without having first met Howard, marrying him, having two kids with him, and experiencing his absence from my life.

I have not lost anyone personal in my life. But in November, I finally left a 3 year relationship with my first boyfriend, who was extremely abusive physically and mentally. Every since then I have had an inability to cry about anything. If something were to upset me, I would shed a single tear and then the whole emotion of sadness would just disappear. But I stumbled across this video and it finally let me sit and cry for a while. I was unsure why, since I had never had an extreme loss in my life, but then it hit me. I may not have lost a specific person, but I still felt grief. I lost a majority of my teen years to abuse and manipulation. Your first love is supposed to unforgettable and special, and it was, but for all the wrong reasons. I lost my freedom, my safety, my sanity. I lost my sense of self. 3 years were taken from me, all during this time I was in high school. In high school, you’re still trying to navigate classes, figuring out who you are as a person. You’re figuring out what your interests are, what your passions are, your strengths and weaknesses. You’re supposed to be going out with your friends and having late night teen adventures and making memories. That time period is supposed to be some of the most influential and special of your young life. I didn’t get any of that because I was too busy living for someone else. Basically in mental slavery and in constant pain. I am just now trying to piece together my life. I am just now trying to figure out who I am as a person. And I guess that’s why this video resonated so deeply with me and finally let me cry, I am grieving the loss of myself. So thank you for this video for helping me come to realization that we can all experience grief, just in different ways. I will be moving on, with a new version of myself.

Even though the pain exists and hurts like nothing else, the love never dies. That's something that the death would never took away from me. I still cry like the days they've passed away, but that love they had given me it's enough to fueling the joy of having had the chance to meet them.

We all want to do something to mitigate the pain of loss or to turn grief into something positive, to find a silver lining in the clouds. But I believe there is real value in just being still, being sad, and growing from the experience

You can't process the pain unless you sit with it and let it wash all over you. When you allow it to be then I think that's when you can let that pain evolve into something a little less scary (for lack of a better word.)

I have lost my partner of 20yrs to glioblastoma(s). It's horrible. He only lived 4 weeks. I've told myself, he didn't suffer, he wasnt in pain, and he didn't,... but I did and I am. Everything you say rings so true. It's been comforting to hear your speech. Thank you. Hayley x

i came across your touching comment in the death of love ones post here on you tube. Well am really sorry about that okay 😒☹and I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but life must move on because death is inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday.....
