I am so deeply sorry for your loss, and thank you so much for these suggestions, greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Thank you for your heartfelt message. Blessings to you as well, and may we continue to support and uplift each other on this journey.

Thank you for sharing your story. It's incredibly tough to face anticipatory grief while hoping for the best outcome. I admire your courage and strength, and I hope you find moments of peace and gratitude. Remember, it's okay to seek support and allow yourself to feel all the emotions that come with this journey​​​​​​.

I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. The pain of losing a child, especially so suddenly, is unimaginable and overwhelming. I understand what you are feeling, please don't give up on yourself and reach out to loved ones and professionals for support.

I can completely relate to this. I lost my child and enlisted in the military in the same year, I just couldn't cope with living in the same place. I carried a gun every day for work, and nearly every day I held it, either alone at my post or in the bathroom if I was posted with others, and considered ending my life constantly. It took everything in me not to do it, I had a loaded gun on me every day and nothing but time to think. I was on the brink of collapse when I got pregnant with my second. She did not and cannot replace her, but it changed my life. Before her I could only think about my first when I saw anything child or baby-related, my next gave me something else to associate those things with. I still feel crushing grief, but I have another reason to live. I know that when I pass, she will be there, whenever that is. That doesn't mean having another baby will solve your problem, I still cry all the time, 17 years later, you will always feel sad on the milestones (mine should be a senior in high school), but you CAN find other things to live for. I'm so sorry for the pain you're in, I remember when it was still fresh, it's taken so much strength to go through the stages (giving away her things, getting closure, anger, feeling the injustice of it all, etc.), but you can survive this and still have somewhat of a happy life. There is always pain behind every smile, but I am glad I didn't end things. Even the worst moments were worth living. You WILL see him again. He will be there, smiling and glowing, waiting for you when you breathe your last breath. I hope you can find the strength to keep going. No one should ever have to go through this, but we are stronger than we think. After almost two decades of wondering why it "had to happen to me," I realized that I am a far better mother to my second because I lost my first. She was only seven months old when she died of SIDS, I don't know how things would have panned out, but I was severely traumatized when I had her, and couldn't focus on her fully. I had to run away from abuse at 17 to have her and was still reeling. The three years between my children gave me nothing but time to think about what I could have done better. By the time I got pregnant with my next I was aching to be a mother again, and devoted every ounce of energy to her. Now she's a teenager who has been doted on her entire life, and quite happy and well-adjusted. I am not saying that is the answer, but having other people/things to focus on while you work your way through the worst of the grief can help. Sitting in the grief will only make you spiral. It seems impossible to escape, and it will always be with you, he will always be with you, but there is so much you can do with your life still. Like the woman in the video, you can help others while you help yourself. We must do the best we can with what we're given. I am sending you love and the biggest virtual hug. I am so, so sorry for your loss. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I wish you the best on your healing journey ❤

@@nicoleowens2318 Thank you so very much for sharing your story with me, I truly appreciate it so much, I will take your advice thank you❤️

@@CristiBundukamara Thank you so much❤️

Yes. Grief is pain. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Remember to be gentle with yourself and reach out for support when you need it. You're not alone in this.

Debra, my prayers are with you. I know your pain. I lost my son to cancer three months ago. I pray for you and for me that God restores us both and give us rest in our souls.

Thanks for sharing your loss as I know what you are going through. Only God can help us through this process 🙏

I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. Losing your only son is an immense pain that no parent should endure. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you!

Yes, an incredible interview, thank you so much for watching!

You make some really good points. Definitely not my best work. This was originally filmed when I was going through the DSM. I choose to go through the DSM because I needed content while I was focusing on grieving the sudden death of my daughter. I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner, so it was just a general overview from a psychiatric perspective. I'm sorry it wasn't holistic.

Thank you for watching. Appreciate you

I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It's important to know that it's okay to seek help, both professionally and from supportive loved ones. Consider reaching out to a mental health professional who can help you with strategies to manage your social anxiety and dysthymia. Don't give up; there is hope, and you are not alone​​​​​​​​.

I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. Losing a child is an unimaginable pain. It may feel impossible now, but allowing yourself to feel the pain and seeking support from loved ones or a counselor can help.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's important to honor the immense effort and love you invested as a caregiver, and allowing yourself to detach can be a vital part of the healing process. Taking steps to focus on your own self-care and grief work can help you find balance and begin to heal​​​​.

Thank you, Macy for your thoughtful and supportive comment.

Thank you. ❤

Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to me that my description resonated with you.

@CristiBundukamara you are so welcome. I am just coming out of clinical. Now, a recovering alcoholic. Diagnose two years ago with autism. Now, after 19 years, a divorce do to both. The grief from losing loved one all before that. Mother (suddenly), grandfather (hospice), sister (cancer), and my brother (suddenly). Your video really makes me realize just how strong we become. If only more people had this mindset. The world would be so much better.

Wow! I wish I have a fraction of your strength & courage🙏🏾 I lost my 14 year old 2 years ago( suddenly) & the pain is gonna kill me💔

@mihretshimay655 I can't say I could ever understand what you are going through. I pray you have strength. Getting help was the best thing I have ever done. I kinda didn't have a choice with the alcohol. I didn't get help because I was afraid of Charlie Victor 9teen. I was a shot an hour just to keep the shakes away. With that said, once I started drinking earlier in the day or first thing in the morning. I became physically addicted. At that point there is no quitting on my own. It would have ended me. I don't know if you need to hear this but here it is. As for my losses, I can go into more detail if you want. The best thing that made me feel any sort of ok was. Hugs are unlimited.

I am so deeply sorry for your losses, the pain of losing a child is unimaginable. I appreciate your kind words, I am determined to turn this pain into purpose. My heart is with you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost me eldest son at 20 years old in 2016, and his little brother who was 18 at the time has been struggling ever since. I fear losing him as well so my heart breaks for you. I hope the day comes that you find peace and possibly even blessings in what has happened.

Thank you!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for sharing your experience with ketamine infusions. It's reassuring to hear how they've helped you feel more like yourself again, despite the emotional challenges. Your advice about seeking treatment at a reputable clinic is invaluable.

Karen, I understand that feeling of desperation and the unbearable pain you describe. The flashbacks, the panic, the deep sorrow - I've been there too. Losing my child was the most devastating experience of my life, and it's what led me to create the mentally strong method. It's a way to help grieving parents/spouses like us process their grief in a healthy way, find solace in a supportive community, and eventually regain a sense of purpose. It's my hope that by sharing this method, we can help others navigate the darkest days and find a glimmer of light amidst the darkness. Please know that you are not alone in this journey.

I am so very sorry.

Thank you!
