Share something comforting in the comments for a stranger to read
My parents passed away 17 months apart. I am still in my 30’s. Most people i know have their parents well over that age. I don’t have many pictures of them. But the brain, the memories are more powerful than any camera. Our loved ones will always be in our heart and mind. That motivates us to do better and live as good of a life as possible. You are never alone.
These is no way to waste effort. If you pick up a heavy thing and then later it falls, you have proven that you can pick it up again. Every time you do a mindless repetitive task, you get better at it. You are better today than you were yesterday, you can't even help it.
Subtitle Indonesia🙏🏻 please 🙏🏻
I hope one day i be strong enough
A beautifull video,
a song that always comforts me is the "Song of healing" from Majoras Mask, it has a tragic touch to it, but thats part of what makes it beautiflul in my opinion, maybe it can help you too. :)
And to everyone reading this, you are not alone, the night is darkest before Dawn, so dont lose hope.
Take Care
“no one thinks as badly of you, as you do of yourself.” i burst into tears. i was having such a low self esteem day. this video is perfect.
my favourite character, Alexis Rose, once said "people aren't thinking about you the way that you're thinking about you" and I actually want to get a tattoo of this quote and hearing it being said in other words in this video felt like a warm hug 🥺
🤭 Yes.
Dang, that hits hard.
if you having low self esteem, love meeeeeeeeeee
that was the only sentence i probably not agree whit
there was a guy who told me i am literally bad person and how he said it he meant it 100%
and i never thought of myself as bad maybe trash because i make a lot of mistakes and i made a lot of peoples life harder but not on purpose
that guy who told me that i am bad think that i intentionally do wrong to others
and then was guys who made me feel ashamed of myself ashamed of i even born and i never thought that my existence is a bad thing in itself
so sorry but there are people who thinks worse of you than you of yourself
“You were a good friend. Theres nothing more you could’ve done” immediately made me break down. Im so glad I found this video
Books are your best friend.
i started crying as well
I as well, I really needed that
I burst into tears at all of the ones that were specific.. I’m so great full this video exists
Same
You've come this far, take a moment to realize this, take a deep breath and smile.
I can't. Each second is shattering me. I don't even think I'll be alive tomorrow. It's hurting me so much.
@@tayluvofficial What can I do for you? what seems to be the problem. I've been on the brink so many times and always wake up surprized Im still here, but there is always something that brings me back , brings my connection back to this place and it always seems to be the simple things. You are not your emotions, they do not control you. your ego is not you, it only survives to cause pain and doubt. You are more than what is going on, whatever it may be, it'll pass in time but you are here, alive and here for purpose! Please, take a moment to breathe deeply and realise you are not alone, you are not broken, you are you, special and meaningful. If you can't bring joy to yourself, do it for someone else ,it really does bring joy into your life and bring meaning to that lost feeling. I don't know you or your situation but feel my love, see the white light, it is pure and without judgement, let it surround you and connect it to those around you. That shattering is only temporary and something that exists to make you stronger, you will see in time even thou it is hard it has purpose. 🙏
@@bobrobertsNotUrBob what if one feels so down in the dumps. Like life has got nothing to offer me. Why does it come back more often it's like it's pulling me in that dark zone. I have lead a lonely life right from childhood. I always wanted more from my life, i looked at my friends life going to parties each weekend laughing having fun together. I've always wanted that. But i couldn't. I have always struggled making friends that last a lifetime atleast one friend that would ask me how am I doing. It's not like i haven't tried but the people's ive known never wanna stay in touch with me. When i meet some of them i still feel disconnected. I vibe with only a certain kind of people but those are rare. Each weekend I'm at home just staring at my phone. I've always wanted a connection maybe from a single girl or maybe from a group of friends but it's never ever worked out for me. Why doesn't it pass like you say and comes back more often. I try to keep my mind away from it. But now it feels like it has gripped me and maybe sadness is what I like. But it's like my mind still forces me to think that this isn't what i deserve. I wish it was different and i smiled more often. I always have to fake a smile to others that I'm fine. But deep inside i know I'm not
@@alzdsz It is hard to say, not knowing everything. I have the same thing with people not hanging around. i was told that life is just so crazy and hectic for most people that it is hard even for them to reach out instead of working hard or glued to their phone. I would have to say based on my own life and depression, that it is clearly a chemical imbalance. There are simple things that have helped (vitamins and minerals)omega 3, vitamin 6's, magnesium, potassium. but clearly I needed more than simple vitamins.
@@bobrobertsNotUrBob thanks for helping the way u can. Hopefully my life will end soon and I'll be out of this misery. I know it's not the answer. But thats what i feel. Probably as years go by it's gotta affect my mental and physical health. I might not be in the state of mind I'm now. Wish everything changed for the better. Sending out ❤️ to u mate.
"Being hugged by someone who makes you feel tiny" just thinking about this kind of comfort made me shed a tear. Ive never had it but it almost felt like I did.
aww samee
Your parents literally never hugged you? 😳 that’s horrible. 😔
@@Skrymik my parents also didn't
@@Skrymik I'm struggling to think of them doing so. Yes they cared for me, but I always felt out of a sense of duty than anything. I think my sister thinks more of me than my parents. Just come out of a 30 year relationship, and now listening to mindfulness and relationship videos I realise what little I got out of it.
I was hoping to find a video that can help me make it through the day, but to be honest I'm struggling to relate to much of it.
@tedferkin because this is for people who are already somewhere. You gotta start slower, lower somehow. It's like the stairs for this video to work begins a meter from your head. You need a ladder there. Binaural beats or just sound related things work for me. Idk these love frequency whatever type of videos.
I actually met a girl who was born in the same hospital on the same day and year as me! And we share the same name. We're friends now. That is so comforting actually 🥰
That is so beautiful, it's as if it was meant to be
That is amazing ❤️

I was born within 36 hours at the same hospital as my stepsister. Both our parents divorced and started dating when we were ten. We grew up together as total opposites but maintain a friendship.

“and finally you, your presence is comforting to someone.” ❤
cutest comment ever.
Too many people forget that part...
I started crying right away.
I'm not crying 😭🥺😭🥹😭 You are
I apologize for my negativity but I can’t see anyone being comforted by me.
"No feeling of shame,grief or guilt will remain as intense as it does when it's recently occurred" this was exactly what i needed to hear today. And reading the comments made me realize that I'm not alone and thousands if not millions of people are struggling with me. I'm SO glad I found this video.
I loved that instead of the negativity we hear non-stop in our brains everyday, she just let out some enjoyments of life. It's honestly so fresh and relieving to hear such kind and comforting words.
Me, dissociating with a panic attack, being saved by Lana Blakely and her magically grounding video
:')
Sending love and good vibes your way 🌟 I also suffer from anxiety and can relate. 🤗
I hope you're okay now! You're definitely not alone, been suffering with anxiety for 10 years and dissociation for 7, it can be tiringgg. We've got this love
i cant fathom how i can highly relate to this lol
Drink some ayahuasca, you’ll never have panic attacks again
For anyone going through a hard time right now, I can promise you that at some point, everything will be okay. I'm sorry that you have to go through this. I know it's difficult. Just remember that you matter. Someone out there loves you infinitely.
Now, get up and go get a glass of water
I love you
i cant keep on going
i need advice.
you see im 19 and starting to be depend on my toxic or good for nothing friends.
It started about an year ago when i was preparing for moving to different country for study but enrolled in my city for some time, due to unfortunate circumstances of indecisiveness, im stuck here for last year with them.
My mindset has gone worse, my mental health needs attention like an addict. I need their company to get work from them atleast. About 25 students left my class in the first semester and you can assume what a shithole it is.
Please tell me how can i be independent, im good-looking according do some decent women and not the ratchet ones. Im tall, smart and stand my ground when needed, dont let anybody toy with me. Its my mind that is making me weak and confused, my gut says to quit and go abroad but idk wtf is wrong with me.
Pls help me.
@@the_one_03 I feel almost the same as you. If you want to u can tell me your snap or insta and i can add u so we can talk:)
Very kind of you to put such messages on internet so that people feel Good.. God Bless you❤
@@lailal201 sorry for seeing your msg at only now. I understand things are going rough but I’m holding my own and I advice you should too.
I don’t use IG but have a snap. Thing is I’m very skeptical to add new people, I hope you understand
@@the_one_03 somewhat same place as you. I think this is a generational issue, and after researching so many, I now know the way our condition is right now, is a result of so many things not done. And there is no infrastructure for us to bring ourselves out of the situation. So the first thing to understand is that, we are not loving the best of life rn. We have so much potential, unique. If you want to tap into that, only we can do this. When I discovered what all led us to the situations, I started blaming everything, but that's not a solution. We deserve happiness and wellbeing in all aspects of life, to say the least. It's nuanced, and there is no one answer for it.
But i guess it starts with:
- Educating yourself with proper perspectives and mindsets, through maybe videos. This way you can get clarity about yourselves, your potential and problems, your role in the world etc.
- Finding an intelligent, authentic and a person that understands you to talk to everything openly. This will make the process faster and more possible.
- Get your physical and mental health diagnosed in a proper way, and do the necessary.
- And lastly, I wish that all of this will lead you to a strong, truth based, perspective and clarity, a thing to pursue which develops you into your potential, a good community or relationship to be in, and in good physical and mental health.
Once this much happens, we all have the necessary, to build our lives to full potential! Much Love!
"Being childish is comforting" I actually smiled because of this. My childishness makes my grandfather laugh, and it's so fulfilling to see. Because of him, I learned to embrace it; because of him i found comfort in it; and because of him, i will never get rid of my childishness.
Reading so many positive comments, makes me believe that are still good people out there, whole love you and care for you! Thank you to all the people who wrote comments here and our Dear Lana! ❤️ Glad to share that I feel much better now and I truly wish from the bottom of my heart that if someone is going thru something bad, they overcome it very soon! Cheer up, smile! ‘Cause YOU MATTER! YOUR SMILE IS BEAUTIFUL:)
I dont.
This is a 5-minute other-worldly, anti-depressant and anti-anxiety pill, spreading an aura of tranquility, serenity, and a sense of solace
i love This
@@cecasheillehuh? U wanna date the video?
"You! Your presence is comforting to someone." That last bit really hit it in the feels 🥺
I’m starting to play my guitar, at first I thought I was really good but my family hasn’t ever said anything, until I was reading my moms diary looking for her recipes, there I saw it. “I heard Darling playing her guitar, she’s getting really good :)”. I bursted into tears of happiness, she doesn’t know how much that meant to me, I love you mum
awww that's so sweet 🥰this reminds me of when I was having such a bad day at school and I felt so alone and I was crying a lot back then because of stuff, but when I came back home I saw my favourite cat plush toy on my bed, covered by the blanket that my mom made for me. it was set up in a way that the cat was sitting while covered in a blanket. when I tell you I literally burst into tears of happiness immediately. my mom put it there, though I didn't tell her about the things I was going through, she put it there right when I needed it most. that is just proof that we are never alone, and that sometimes we just need to be more open to see the positive of the world, how the world actually supports and loves us. your thinking goes a loong way. and such a small act can really make someone feel a million times better, so remember- your actions have power, so be mindful and kind to both yourself and others! there's a lot we cannot see. and im sure you're great at guitar :D I didn't mean to write such a gigantic paragraph lmao
@@heyyy1325 omg, your mom is the best! :) And I agree, little actions can make someone feel a lot more better! And thank you for that compliment! I hope you still have that toy cat and blanket, it’ll carry lots of memories!

cought me off guard, I literally cried when I heard it.. thank u
This was so comforting and I've been down lately about not having friends and feeling like I'm doing this life thing alone, not understood or even cared for enough to be understood.
This felt like a little hand squeeze and thank you, really.
you might not notice this long enough but almost everyone is in utter alienation. we are into our smartphones these days, interfacing with the virtual world, customizing our own worldviews from the various information we gather globally.
even though you try to relate to an actual human mind, it still feels lonely because you seem to cannot connect in comparison to that relatability you have with internet world. its not stimulating enough.... whence here one can pour anything without hindrances because nobody can really know its you.
everyone is becoming individualized and some small minded ones, given they think they know alot better because they can read and absorb information, now act arrogant..
@@jJust_NO_ Perfect
Me too
I’m sorry you feel that way. A hug from someone who cares ❤️
Wow.. I feel like you just read my mind out loud... Its comforting to know that someone else felt the same way as I did when I found this video :')
This video made me cry 💜
I can relate 😔🤍
Omg hiii, two of my favorite CZcamsrs together 🥺💛💛
😢
Me too 🥺
now i get why … 🥹😭
“You’ve been a good friend. You’ve tried your best.”
This made me cry so hard, I really really needed that. I’ve been going through it with all my relationships and it’s been hard. Friend disagreements, arguments, basically everything. And I’m just stuck in the middle. I’ve been trying so hard, and I needed that. Thank you.
I was having such a bad day, you saved me.
"To cry is comforting.Shed a tear if you feel like it. We all do sometimes. It's okay"
10 seconds ago, I was crying so bad that I couldn't breathe, but you happen to appear.
Thanks.
Why would I need therapy when I have you. Thanks, thanks for being my comfort person, it's means a lot, more than anyone would understand why. Thanks for being there for me when I needed, thanks for being my therapist, thanks for being my comfort person.
Thanks
❤️❤️
Ohh I hope you’re doing better, you’re a lovely person ❤
"To think that there was a time when you couldn't even walk or say a single word. Look how far you've come". This one just hit right in. I'll be having my final high school exams next month. Thank you so much for this video Lana! Lots of love from India💚
Good luck on your exams, take it one day at a time! :)
@@avneet2.0 Thank you!
How's it come? I hope you were doing really fantastic!
Do you mean the 12th board exams because I also gave my 12th board exam last month.
I hope all the students get good marks!!🥰🥰
@@rudra5515 Yup! Hopefully all of us get good marks(unlike term 1)
A hot cup of tea, the smell of an apple pie in the oven, the rustling of birds in a hedge, thunderstorms when you're laying in bed, a new book, seeing new leaves on your plants
The thunderstorms part reminded me of when I was a kid and I would lay in bed hearing the storm and watching thunder lightning through the window while I’m wrapped in my blanket feeling warm and cozy…there was something about hiding in the house on a cold stormy night that always made me feel scared yet excited and kinda happy, it’s like I know it can get bad but I will be safe inside and not have to do anything but let the storm pass..I just wanted to share this thought with anyone who might had this feeling as well 🥰
@@florafarah 🥰
"your presence is comforting to someone" that is what I needed.
“And finally… you. Your presence is comforting to someone.” *sobs*
İ suffer from anxiety and sometimes even when nothing is wrong,i feel like there is something wrong and i was feeling that way again and than i saw the notification.Thank you so much,you should know that you are helping a lot of people with this:)we are not alone.Stay safe
Your comment is kinda comforting, thank you
😢
i know this feeling so well and the notification came in the right moment for me too
@@yoon7217 it makes me feel good that you felt comfort:) you're welcome
@@lucaonthesecondfloor365 knowing there is someone understands me is comforting thank you☺️
I have literally been shaking for 25 minutes, this video made me cry, but not in a bad way. i am so grateful to have youtube, and to have people like you. I really appreciate you. thank you, Lana.
"Im proud of you"
First time ive heard that in my life.
probably because you're a weeb LOL
@@petersammovies .
huh??@@Clovexiia
hi stranger
i'm proud of you
One of the most comforting videos I've ever seen.... Thank you for reminding me all of these little happiness
"Your presence is comforting someone" i felt that😭😭
It's comforting to know that this lady, Lana Blakely, cared enough to make this video to help other people. Thank you Lana for your care.
"Shed a tear if you feel like it. We all do sometimes."
I had been holding them in for so long. This one line broke the dam.
Thank you so much. ❤❤
me trying not to sob
thinking
i am just emotionallly numb
nah this girl tells me comforting words i feel comforted
"Nobody thinks as badly of you as you think of yourself." Thanks for reminding. Much love from India ❤️❤️
Thank you, So goddamn much. I used to hate talking, But after being around my chaotic family...I started to love it. I was sitting in silence, And its the most uncomfy feeling I've felt. This is one of the best, Listening to a calm and polite voice...Letting all the thoughts of passed loved ones and fears melt away...Writing...Letting all my tears fade. I love it, I love this.
Turned this on and didn't realize how many things I took for granted
that "oh! You too?" really got me....your voice and words are comforting
"Your presence is comforting to somebody" MADE ME CRYYYYY
Today was one of the worst days of my life and I was crying tonight and This literally made me stop crying and feel a little bit better, I thank you so much for helping me..🖤
I hope you are doing better now. I recently had a bad day. Pass week has been rough.
I’m currently applying to medical school and the pressures of putting all my hopes and dreams into a career that may not except me is sometimes overwhelming. Thank you for this gentle reminder that everything is going to be okay 💜
❤️❤️ best of luck to you
I am in the same exact spot. Seeing your comment makes me feel less alone. There is so much pressure on premeds to be the "successes" we always have been, and so little understanding of the immense challenge and competition involved in the process.
wishing you the best in your application! an internet stranger is here to root for ya:>
The fact that you've still decided to try is what matters! Im sure the medical profession will get a hardworking humble queen as a doctor if they take you in, so girl, keep going! Whatever happens, never lose hope and stay happy😊
Hey!I was in your exact position 2-3 years ago.And I know what you feel.Medicine is so, so beautiful but it’s such a long and hard road.I am now in my second year and I enjoy it so much.I’m praying to God that everything goes well for you.Remeber to take care of yourself:)
"you've been a good friend, you've done your best. there's nothing more you could do. stop beating yourself up." I was at an audition for dance today and felt I did horrible and everyone was better than me like I let myself and others down. I was so disappointed in myself. then, this video shows up in my recommendations. thank you and I love you.
I searched wholesome and found this video, i am not disappointed 🌸
"To cry is comforting. Shed a tear if you feel like. We all do sometimes. It's okay"
Thank you so much. I really needed it
This is now gonna be my go to video to have a peaceful sleep
This makes me happy.
That feeling when you're exhausted and you finally get into bed and your bed is extraordinarily comfortable and before you know it, you drift into a dark, dreamless, and deeply healing sleep.
The fact that everyone has hit a rough patch and has been in need of comfort, support, and love at some point or another in their life. We are all in this together.
That moment when you're watching a movie or a TV show, or maybe reading a book, and a character says something that you relate to so deeply at that moment that it brings tears to your eyes.
Very smooth rocks. They've been worn down by time, water, and other things to become that smooth and beautiful. Humans have quite a bit in common with rocks.
Watching the stars twinkle outside your window just before slipping into bed. I like to think they're sending me Morse code messages, telling me that everything is going to be okay and they are always watching over me, even when the Sun is out and I can't see them.
i absolutely loved this. i love how you mention instances that have happened in everyones life, and with this the joys and memories that take you right back to experiencing this. today wasn't the worst day for me. it was very normal to be fair. but i was just feeling so lonely and really wanted to feel better. thank you lanaaa
"there's nothing more you could have done" 😭😭😭 I could have made sure Coco came in that night.
There’s nothing more you could have done with the knowledge and ability you had in that moment. You did your best. And I’m proud of you for it.
I'm sorry.
I was feeling overwhelmed at the thought of my mistakes and struggling with getting my life together. This video came at the right time. Thank you Lana ❤
I didn’t even know I needed this until I started crying and smiling at the same time. Thank you.
These videos make me feel safe and happy. I watch them when I'm feeling worried, scared, anxious or thinking too much! ❤
You deserve everything you want. Don't let anyone make you feel like you don't.
With everything going on in the world this seems perfect timing, almost made me cry.. thank you Lana💓
💕💕
"Your presence is comforting to someone" This one really got me in the soul!
Such a beautiful video Lana, Thank you so much for creating this video!
To whoever reading this, one day the bad situation you are going through, will be remembered and no longer will be suffered.
It is worth waiting for that one day, sending you all the best vibes.
It is all going to be okay!
I read your whole comment..so, thanks a lot...and same to you Yamini ✨ I feel quite relieved by the fact that ...still, there are some people who wish well for others without even knowing them (like you just did by commenting) 🙂
Yup , you are 100 right Yamini , "this 2 will pass" .... njoy.
Thank you. I really needed this. Sometimes I feel so anxious, terrified and uncertain about my future that I need someone to talk to, be it a family member, a friend, or a group of people. There are times when I feel like tearing up because of this this, and the most ideal way to calm myself down is to reach out to someone to talk about this. The only thing I want is to live a happy and healthy life doing what I love whilst enjoying and embracing the support system that I have.
I just got here from my CZcams recommendations and I watched the more recent video called "watch this video when you need a warm hug" and I am so so glad I found this because I never thought there'd be someone who tries to comfort others and make them feel good about themselves on CZcams like this
You're beautiful, you who is maybe reading this from somewhere in the world. Yes you, you're beautiful just because you exist and you try your best every day and because you're so human with all your imperfections and human behaviour.
“No one thinks as badly of you as you think of yourself”.. damn I’m actually crying 🥺
the feel of book pages under your fingers, laying on the cold side of your pillow, seeing people go by their lives and thinking we all live a different life, the smell of hot cocoa, rubbing cold noses at chilly evenings, the mushy feel of sand at the edge of a beach
"no one thinks as badly of you, as you think of yourself" thank you i really needed that cause I've been crying for over an hour now and hearing this made me feel better
"To think that there was a time when you couldn't even walk or say a single word. Look how far you've come."
Thanks, Lana. Didn't realize that's all I wanted to hear right now. I have indeed come a long way... it's been freakin' hell. It's almost ironical how looking back, thinking of all the scars, I am actually empowered to get through the rest of the day.
I feel like giving you a long warm hug... May God bless you.
Just when I needed it, after crying all evening from bad relationship ♥️
I'm so sorry. I hope you find what's right for you in this situation.
i wont stretch this out. THANK YOU. those words have so much emotions unsaid but a lot conveyed.THANK YOU.
This randomly came up when i needed the most 😢 been dealing with servere depression . This put coulour into areas I see grey.. you really don't understand how many lives you've probably saved. The friend thing got me.
I had a really bad day today and my negative thoughts kept me in a bad loop for 2 hours. I just searched words of comfort. Just know your video lessened the pain. Thank you for uploading this.
Don’t give up 🩷 sending you love and warm hugs ✨✨
"You've been a good friend."
That is exactly what I needed to hear, I was beginning to question how I have been as a friend and this made me start crying, thank *you*
Thank you. Thank you for this video. I didn’t know I needed this, but I did. This made me cry and smile and feel so save. “You, your presence is comforting to someone.” That made my day, and made me feel completed and so safe. Again, thank you.
Thank YOU for this Lana. Can't express in words how much comforting and warm your words were.
I want to add a few personal things:
• My cuddly cat and his soft fur under my hands and his little body next to mine, knowing that this sweet little animal loves you, even if nobody else would
• being outside and having fun with my best friend who I might finally see again soon after weeks of missing her to death
• watching something with my friends and them putting their heads onto my shoulders since I'm the tallest of the group
• little things like drawings, words, handcrafted stuff, meant for your ears and eyes from people you love and people who love you
• the smell of rain on a street or meadow and the creativity I have when it rains
been having a rough time for well over a year now. the pressure i've put on myself to heal quickly is definitely not helping, might as well just lay here and let it be, for now. thank you for this... it gives me hope 🌘
Your best days are the days you live to the fullest. That starts now. Your best days aren't that lies ahead, somewhere on the other side of romance, a career or a family. Your best days are the ones you're living now. -RW
EMBRACE NO MATTER WHAT, KEEP FIGHTING EVERY SINGLE DAY. YOU'LL GET THROUGH THIS. ❤
Crying ❤😢but because I feel so happy, and comforted
it's so beautiful to see all these people who are grateful for this video and CZcams. This makes me smile and makes me realise how amazing the world can be. If you are going through a very bad day or period, just keep swimming. Just keep living, romanticise your life, and don't overthink too much. We are so small, only little pieces of this great puzzle that is the universe. I have passed a terrible time, so I just want to make someone smile by telling them that isn't too late to enjoy them life.
We all need to comfort ourselves from time to time. Doing it in a healthy way like this is truly beneficial for everyone. I have a very rational mind so feeling my emotions is not an easy task. This video really helped me feel and I know I am not the only one. Thank you for being such a kind and empathetic soul.
So many people everywhere in search for true inner peace and joy that will last for eternity, but it can only be found in Jesus Christ. Jesus loves you more than you could ever know and He wants to give you this peace. I am sharing my best friend's story with you in hopes that you will come to know Jesus Christ and find real peace and comfort in your soul. God bless you.
Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey
Family Story
Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day.
My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening.
That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of
a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you.
His Story
Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price]
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Your Story
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son.
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready?
“...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b)
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c)

your voice. your voice is comforting 😭
I wish the best to anyone reading this ❤️
You've entered my top of most impacting videos of CZcams all time in the category of : "Feeling" or transmitting feeling to your audience.
I needed that, thank you.
I hadn't added to this playlist for years to tell you how little of comforting, just nice really, videos I watched over this time period...
Need to go back to those.
Some videos are original, many videos are simple. But very few videos are simple and original. This is one of them. So good
What a beautiful treasure you have given me this morning. Thank you Lana for sharing warmth, comfort, truth and care. That video was the warm morning sunlight I hungered for! Thank you very much!
I appreciate that, thank you so much.
Your eyes are extremely calming. It’s amazing I’ve found over the years that the most genuine people I’ve met have similar look in their eyes…trust
Thank you. I am much happier after listening to this
Knowing that you are not alone in your pain is one of the most comforting things ever. "Oh! I am not the only one that is in this case huh?" It is also comforting because you know people got out of that feeling as well
Someone from my country is destroying another country simultaneously shattering everything here and there. I ended up feeling so anxious, weak, scared, shamed in the course of the last 2 weeks and your video is like finding a source of light, faint light but yet so warm in this very dark times. Thank you, Lana!
What's going on is truly horrifying and I'm so sorry. I'm glad this brought you a brief moment of light
Praying for peace and Divine protection for all.
"There is a Divine power at work."
Someone told me many years ago. I try my best to remember that this world we all share is greatly healed by our own loving thoughts. 🇺🇦 🙏
The video I didn't know I needed but REALLY did.
Thank you miss.
Thank you. I'm feeling so much like shit right now. I'm 73 and sometimes I wonder why do I continue. You are so young with your wisdom. Stay the course. Please
Your voice is so comforting. It felt like a relief to simply hear you talk and just close my eyes. That for me was comforting enough to forget about my problems for a short period of time.
Finding someone you looked for in a crowd. ❤
I want you to never stop saying related to what you're saying.
It's comforting, lana
I will never thank you enough for being who you are and sharing these comforting words, I remember one year ago when I was at my lowest right after a horrible breakup, watching this video again and again ❤
Sending everybody light! You can do this! You're so loved, you're never alone! Love you! 💝
this video is a warm hug, made me cry. thank you lana that's exactly what I needed today
Universe is always holding our hands supporting us in bad time giving strength to walk our paths .
Sometimes giving us smile, by its movement ( puppy running, little rose in our garden , a dog without any reason sitting with you etc .) You just need to believe in it , you are part of it , if you believe it will never leave your hands 🌌
wouldn’t go into detail something happened and i found this video and tears were welled up in my eyes and i was listening to you then when you said “you’ve been a good friend” those tears finally released and i was like how did you know. i cried but thank you i found comfort from this video. thank you for putting it up.❤️
Really needed to see this today as our world continues to be a place where hope is scarce. It usually takes a lot for me to cry but this video opened up the flood gates. Thank you Lana.
💕🙏
this video actually saved me. The fact that school is making me feel this anxious and stressed out on the 3rd day of school is saying a lot.
This past year was super hard for me, I felt nothing more than a failure, you dont even know how much better you made me feel, thankyou so much.
Loved how simple yet comforting this was. One of those "I didn't know I needed this" kinda videos! Thank you :)
Love your simplicity ❤️
I just love this and the other one you made recently like this… I have found myself going back to these two videos so many times.. for your authentic and comforting voice, and for the amazing context, it reminds me of things I used to think about when I was at the point where I was the least influenced by things, when I was younger and in a way a more authentic version of myself. These kind of simple and yet esoteric kind of questions are so interesting and important to exercise the mind with. Very stimulating and nostalgic.
Your video is comforting to everyone that could relate...
"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."
Much needed change in perception to pursue taking risks in life. Thanks a lot Lana❤
The fact that its comforting to see these many people getting comfortable and a little more happy by you is such a comforting thing for me... it makes me happy... Thank you!
