The fact she reached her hand out to console him when it happened to her shows her soul is so pure 😢❤
Yes!!
Yes!!! I think people really truly care and are sad for her and there are no words! That was a moment.
His too. The overflow of empathy from him was greatly appreciated by her.
The Movie Shirley was great on Netflix
Vote Blue is a vote for crime
its terrible losing a child, but losing your only child has to be the worst grief imaginable
So painful
Suicide is atrocity for parents, they will think did i caused this to happen to my child ?...
@@johnwick666 Somehow I feel it’s selfish to not think of the pain it will cause the loved ones. If Twitch was alive and his family member did that how would he feel? It hurts me so bad. I had severe postpartum depression, psychosis, and suicidal ideation. But I promised my husband I would never go that to him and my little twin babies. I understand sometimes it’s a sadness you can’t explain but people need to hang in there.
@@azpersonal stay strong
@@johnwick666 thank you!
0:37 When you in YOUR pain have to comfort someone else...thats the epitome of compassion❤
God blessed her with enough compassion to fill the world
I think most people would be astonished at how often those of us who have lost a child end up having to comfort the person who is trying to console us.
Her son must not have been getting any pussie. I live with muscle pain every day of my life and killing myself is just not an option.
Amen ❤
@@writeon125 I'm sure. ❤️💔❤️
That just hit hard when she said he said "I'm tired of talking, mom." Man I felt that in my heart.
Love u fantastic🫶🏼
❤
That was tough to hear
She never mentioned meds.... I wonder if they ever tried them. She just mentioned talking techniques.
@@atlantasfaithsmomshe said therapists AND psychiatrists… they prescribe meds
She is so very beautiful, inside and out. Praying for her continued peace and healing.
ditto
I passed my ass far away 😢
I touch and agree with this prayer IN JESUS' NAME. AMEN.
I've been following her career since 227. A great actress, she's in many of my favorite 1990's movies; Friday, Enemy of the State, Boyz n the Hood, Jerry Maguire, and Poetic Justice.
Amen🙏🏾🙌🏾💖✝️
My father committed suicide when I was 17 and you never get over it, you just learn to somehow carry on. My heart will forever go out to Regina, and all those who loved him.
So very sorry for the loss of your dad. You and Regina have my sincere sympathy!🕊️🌹❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. May his soul continue to RIP.
💛
Rip ❤ edit: hugs
I wish you healing
When Jimmy choked up I immediately teared up for her loss. It's so difficult to handle inner pain, but depression is no joke for anyone to suffer with or without support. Praying for her and continuous healing for anyone that is suffering from depression. 💞🙏🏾💞
I did too 😢
Jimmy boy is a loser.
Same
Especially if you're a parent too. It just hits harder! I teared too😢
me too!
The tears won’t stop. God bless this woman, and I commend Jimmy for being such an amazing host and acknowledging Reginas grief
I am so glad to see her returning to public life. She went through a tremendous loss and it's clear that Jimmy adores her.
❤
Jimmy has grown into a very emotional being. They're both exceptional people with hearts of gold. ❤️
He had close call with his youngest am sure that had something to do to do with that.
@@JennyLouLou A very emotionally EMPATHETIC being. The antithesis of an angry narcissist whose only sorrow is for his own misfortune (real or not)… not surprisingly that certain someone hates Jimmy (& anyone with a brain & an ounce of humanity).
@@gr8dvdso very well said 👏 ❤️
Anyone else love and appreciate Jimmys compassion????
I do ❤
Yup Miley said it best. He makes his guest always feel comfortable.
Not me. He made is about himself.
I really do
@@notknown6605what a sad take
What a heartfelt display of compassion for a fellow human being.
Indeed.
I lost my daughter at the age 25 she had Sickle cell disease o Nov 19th 2023 she died before her birthday Dec 11th. This pain is unexplainable. My prayers are with. GOD IS A COMFORTER. He is keeping me right now..
Abraços 😢
Sorry for your loss🙏🏽
My brother killed himself when he was 21. It was terribly sad and heartbreaking. I felt such sorrow for my brother that he could not find joy in life even though he was smart, handsome, and loved, oh so loved. My condolences to Regina.
❤
🌹🌹🙏😇
I’m sorry for your loss I don’t know what I would do without my brother and my sister but Jehovah has a hope for all of us to see our loved ones again in the future.
💛🙏🏾
My brother committed suicide at 24. I know your pain and I’m so sorry. He too was handsome, charming, and compassionate. Like Regina says people think depression looks a certain way but you never know. Prayers to you and your family.
When compassion and empathy hit your heart, words fail you. Prayers to Regina, and to Jimmy for being so sympathetic. I felt he was genuine WOW.
He’s so empathetic, he’s the best.
WHAT DID KANYE SAID ABOU T ALL THESE PPL GETTING HIGH UP IN HOLLY WOOD ?? U PPL PRETEND U DONT REMEMBER " SHE MAYBE MOURNING I DONT KNOW; BUT WHY WOULD HE COMMIT SUICIDE! WAS HE DE: PRESSED: YOU PPL HERE ACTING THAT THESE EVENTS WITH THESE PPL::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::NORM
I think he feels this particularly deeply because he nearly lost his own kid to a heart condition. He likely remembers how painful it was to even contemplate losing his child let alone it actually happening.
@@cv8499I was thinking exactly this
@@cv8499 absolutely!
@@cv8499so very true.
Grief is an extension of love.
And she is so gracious. I can’t imagine what that pain is like, and I am so sorry for her loss. What a Queen she is!
It does help when you believe that spirit doesn’t die when the body does. That energy is omnipresent and never leaves you. Believing that comforts me, and tears are a good way to heal, although you’ll never get over such a tremendous loss. God Bless you and continue to comfort you Ms. King.
So true. ❤️
Our World needs MORE people with compassinate hearts like Jimmy Kimmel. 💛💛
I said the same thing.
Yes.
Yes!
Not sure how real his acting was…
@@ashleykettner5093 we'll seeing as how he's not an actor, I would imagine it's more real than fake.. especially with having a child with the medical condition that he cries about when he just talks about his own child.
... Do yourself a favor and try not to be so miserable and while you at it, try to grow up too...
As someone who has adored her since 227, it breaks my heart that she went through this. My best friend died... In a similar way...i cannot imagine the depth of her heartbreak, when i know the depth of mine and he wasn't my baby... God bless u Regina... And Ian too❤
I don't think I could survive my only child taking his own life.
Swear...that would break me
We are stronger than we think we are
Yeah, because that's basically a literal end of you, your genes, and any legacy and the lineage you wanted to carry on. That's why it's important to have multiple kids, if possible. My neighbors are in their early 60s and have 5 children and 18 grandchildren! They are covered lol.
😢😢
Pray that never happens.
Some people die from broken heart, like Sinead O'Connor did.
She lost her son to suicide too.
Scientists have said Broken Heart Syndrome is real.
The news said Sinead died from natural causes
When you hear that, it is people who are in their 80's and 90's
She was only 56 last year when she past, she wasn't that old to die of natural causes
5 years older than Regina
Sinead died from a broken
heart 💔
Aww, Jimmy is so sweet for this! He has heartfelt grief for the loss of her Son. God bless and comfort you Regina🌹
Condolences to Regina and her family. No parent would ever go through in a difficult time by losing a son.
I feel her pain. Going through it myself. Pray no one else ever has to be in our space.
Im so sorry for your loss😢
@@lesliepruitt377
She’s amazing and he showed her respect for her loss. Touching 💛
I love Regina King. She is so beautiful. Your son is with you. Ian will always be in your heart❤. First born, her baby, the handsome man, is with the Lord. Mental health struggles is no joke. Be mindful, validate feeling. Check on one another. Regina, we love you.
We love her very much! R.I.P. Ian and you are very well loved as well!🕊️🌹❤️
I like her too. Poor baby lost her son. That’s so sad.
I loved her since way back when she was on 227. There was always something so likeable about her.
Jimmy choked up as a fellow dad and having a son who also almost passed. He can only imagine being in her shoes, something none of us would ever want. May she find peace and comfort until she and her son can be reunited again 🤍
I’ve been living through depression since I was a child. I have my highs and lows. I try not to live in a space of defeat. Because depression doesn’t go away nor does other mental health disorders. It’s a battle but I try to allow the good out weigh the bad. I keep my mind busy and my thoughts happy so that I don’t give up on myself. 😢
That's powerful and so are you. You just have to keep going you're worthy of a life filled with love and joy and peace and patience mental solitude. ♥ ♥ ♥
Same
🫂❤️🙏🏾
I understand, I have suffered since my late 20's and I am 75!!! I amaze myself. I have been to every institution that helps depression and I still deal with it.
Please hang in there like I have. I have this silly idea that we are going to be treated in a beautiful way in heaven,, mostly because we have had to carry on here on Earth🙏 Blessings to you.
Listen to the Audio book on here "The Power of Intention" By Dr. Wayne Dyer, it saved my life ❤
I cannot fathom losing my son and we have had many challenges as he deals with depression and every single day, I look deeply into his eyes to search for his true emotions behind his, “I’m good Mom” statements. May God watch over Regina and all people and their loved ones dealing with deep mental and emotional distress. ❤
She's so beautiful, intelligent, and elegant. Despite the tragedy of her son's passing, she still carries herself with such grace and strength. There's even more strength in her vulnerability. Ian was very luck to have her as a mother, may he Rest In Peace...
Those of us that have lost adult children know Miss Regina’s soul-wrenching pain. We understand it and we stand there with her. It was so kind (and brave) of Jimmy to interview her and the courage it takes for Miss Regina to answer questions and publicly speak about her son’s mental health issues is other-worldly. I hope that someone suffering from this horrible disease will reach out and get some help after watching these interviews ❤

To watch her as a child (when I was a child myself) and then witness her blossoming as a woman and mother was so awesome. I married my high school sweetheart (we've literally never been apart), and we both grew up watching Regina. See her lose her child while we are parents ourselves is gut-wrenching. I couldn't imagine it. I'm happy she's finding a way to continue moving forward. I'm sure it's not easy. Much love to her!
Depression is a horrible disease that can never go away.
It really doesn’t for many . It can be managed day by day for many but not all, sadly.
It's a mental illness@@Frank-mt2hf
Actually, depression is not a life sentence for everyone. For many people it can be a temporary phase. And while clinical depression is a disease, just like physical diseases we can make lifestyle choices, habits of thinking and being that can mitigate and even heal.
Depression is not a life sentence for everyone. For many people it is a short-term phase, each person's experience is different. And while clinical depression is a disease, just as with physical diseases one can make lifestyle choices and ways of thinking and being that can mitigate and even heal.
When I see her on tv or commercials, I
wonder how she is doing.
She lost her only child.
Spirit of grief, it is horrible.
I pray God eases her pain.
Give her strength and comfort her.
Some people die from a broken heart like Sinead OConnor.
The news said Sinead died of natural causes, she died from a broken heart. She also lost a son to suicide.
Scientists have said Broken Heart Syndrome is real, people who suffered a lost of a loved, usually it is a child, parent or spouse that have been together for a long time.
I have admired her and her talent for decades & I’m happy to see that this terrible situation hasn’t broken her, but I seriously hope that TV hosts, reporters and all that don’t expect her to put that pain on display indefinitely.
Regina aging like fine wine, she’s always glowing.
Wow, what a woman, so strong. My son took his life June 28/22. His was a similar story to her son’s, trying everything and nothing worked. I’m so grateful she’s speaking out and showing others how horrific it is to lose our child. ❤
😢😢my condolences can't imagine what it takes to pull through after a tragedy such as that...glad your okay 🙏🏾
Condolences and prayers, keep the faith!🕊️🌹❤️
Jimmy's been through a lot of family trauma also. He felt her pain.
He sure did!!!
Jimmy is one of the good guys. I am glad he show her respect .
Like what?
This pain is very real and it affects so many people. I immediately went to tears, when Jimmy choked up. My brother died by suicide 14 years ago. There isn't a day that goes by when I don't miss him. Miss Regina is an amazing woman. Someone said " her soul is so pure" I will 100% agree with that...
My respect just went up for Jimmy.
Aww his voice breaking made me cry. Regina is so strong!! ❤
That has got to be the saddest situation a mother goes thru. My prayers and thoughts are with you Regina.
She's a very strong woman. Congrats to her to handle this drama with so much dignity.
Strong, beautiful woman. ❤
Aaah my heart 😭😭😭😭may you always remember all the beautiful things your son is. Thank you for being so loving and compassionate through your own pain
just like this beautiful woman to comfort those around her💛💛💛
One of my closest friends committed suicide. I didn't get angry like some do when someone close chooses to end their life. I understood why he did it. He battled heavy depression his entire life. I just pray that he found peace. My prayers are with Ms. King and her family.
Aww, her son was so young and seemed like a sweetheart. 😢
It’s really hard”…My son passed 4years and 3 months ago .I am still crying like it as yesterday.💔😥
Sorry for your loss
People need to stop asking her about this tragedy. She chose to sit with Robin Roberts, but the red carpet is not the time to ask a mother about her dead son. She's literally at work-have some decency and sensitivity.
It’s a catch 22. If no one asks people will say that they are being insensitive. I’m sure questions were approved beforehand
THANK YOU!!!
You still need to learn what care is..also, there's no red carpet
@@kidrobot. I don’t think they get the questions beforehand if they’re stopped at like a premiere at end of the video, which is probably what the comment is referring to
Yes, she stated she wants to move forward. Listen and respect those wishes. ❤❤❤
Even reading this story has me full and blinking back tears. I saw the Jimmy Kimmel show with the courageous Regina King showing her strength in moving on after such a horrific loss…..your child, your babyboy not being able to fight past the demons that will destroy your mind and soul….my God I can relate with the depression but he was a baby, I can imagine how much this kind of loss has hurt. I pray that Father God will protect and guide Regina through this storm of life and continue to grace her with His mercy and abundant blessings going forward, amen. 🙏🏽😔🕊️💛💛💛💛
So so sad. RIP Ian ❤🙏 May you rest in eternal peace and love.
When someone shares their tears with your pain that is medicine for the soul. Jimmy's tears in her presence did more for her than he will ever know.
He adores her and carried the pain with her 😭
She just evolved into this extremely beautiful, compassionate, kind, loving, empathetic person.... I am so proud of her. I love her so much! ❤️🖤
This brings me to tears! God Bless you Regina and your family ❤
Jimmy empathizing with Regina was beautiful! ❤❤❤ Soo sad she’s going thru something this, Ms. Regina King is soo loved by many people. 🥰🙏🏾
Two of my favorite people. Both are national treasures.
I felt his spirit. I chocked up with him.😢
My heart goes out to her. Losing a child is the worst thing ever. My nephew had horrible depression and died suddenly at 21, from a heart complication, not suicide. No parent should ever go through this. But I feel so terrible for her son as well, because of the hopelessness he felt.
My deepest condolences to anyone that has ever experienced this tragedy. 😭
The heart can never heal after the loss of a child. 💛
💛 I wish that I didn't know this truth. I wish that no one knew this truth 🫂
Empathetic Jimmy.
I have literally prayed so much for Regina after Ian's passing. My ❤ & prayers continue to go to her & her Family! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Jimmy has such a big heart
*Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (David), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $12,000 and got my payout of m $270,500 every months,God bless Chloe Linda Henderson🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..*
Hello how do you make such monthly ?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 🤦 of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God.
Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Ms Chloe Linda Henderson.
She's a licensed broker in the states 🇺🇸
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
Wow that's nice She makes you that much!! please is there a way to reach her services, I work 3 jobs and trying to pay off my debts for a while now!! Please help me.
💛💛💛💛💛 thank you for sharing him with us Regina and I am wishing you love, peace and healings 💛💛💛💛
She is so lovely, so brave, I can’t nor want to imagine. Her being so transparent will give strength to others and save lives.
Awwww mannnnnn her son was soooo cute ❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢 Strong lady, very strong.❤❤
As an 80's kid, I never thought that the young girl from 227 would grow up to be such a beautiful person!
She's stronger than I'll ever be. I never had children for fear of losing them....❤
Very very touching and sincere moment. ❤❤
Suicide is such a deep rooted disease within one's damaged soul that is the last emotion one can go through, praying for anyone feeling that way 😢❤🙏🏾
Depression is real. The devastation of losing your own child is unspeakable, no words. Pain will always be present. Mother’s who had loss during pregnancy and never got pregnant again, losing a child through murder, illness or other situations is the unbearable experience. May our lord guide us all. We are mother’s of Angel’s 💕
That was so cute the way he told Regina "I love you!" It's so heart wrenching to hear about this and think about her pain and the pain he must have felt to end his life.
Praying for her and her beautiful family
She's such an incredibly strong person who I have always admired. I truly hope that, while there is no 'getting over' this kind of loss, she has a sense of peace. That voice crack in Jimmy's voice broke me. Losing a child is every parent's worst nightmare and that was such a real strike of raw empathy from him.
THIS. I respect, appreciate and love her for sharing these thoughts and feelings publicly.
My little brother took his life last year. My heart goes out to all those who are struggling with mental health. 💛💛💛
Beautiful of Jimmy to support Regina in this way.
My heart goes out to her and her son. It sounds like he really tried. And she knows he tried. May be at peace now.
However, depression therapy can and does help so many people, but in some cases not all.
I was never a huge Kimmel fan but his true compassion is beautiful to witness.
Regina King is 1 of the classiest woman on TV.
Thoughts and prayers to her and her family
Jimmy almost lost his child that is why he is so overwhelmed
Gosh she's powerful. I admire her strength and power. I'm glad she's back. I hope any voids gets filled, I know her son will never be replaced but I hope she flys high.
As a women of her age and son of her sons age my hod there could be no deeper cut as a mother. I’m so glad she is fighting to live , fighting to smile, fighting to work, fighting to love and be loved.
Regina, you are blessed! God is with you! From the one who had the same tragedy, with my sister committing suïcide, i'm still with love and power..And i sure know God is with you 2❤❤❤❤❤
Both of them are great human beings
He was so beautiful. Rest in peace little one. ❤ Regina we love you.
Nothing worse than losing a child...love since 227 Ms. King💛💛💛
What a strong , talented and beautiful woman. My deepest condolences and thoughts and prayers with you and your family 🙏❤️
That is a real friend who genuinely hurts when they see you hurt
I had an argument with someone I love. I thought about life without them and it changed everything.
May God keep giving this sweet lady the strength to keep living, and may Ian continue to rest peacefully 🙏🏾❤️
GOD 🙏 BLESS YOU, REGINA... SENDING LOVE AND PRAYERS from Savannah Ga
Thank goodness she’s good I cried a lot with this lost her son as a mother of a son I don’t know what would happen to me.
She is amazing and strong!!! My prayers are with her and her family. A major blessing to Jimmy Kimmel for his compassion and empathy for her. He almost went through a tragedy with his youngest son Billy. The baby had a severe health condition. Jimmy did not shy away from the pain he was experiencing when he was tapping his show. By the way, his audience was so supportive and uplifting. Prayers to Regina and Jimmy ❤❤❤❤❤
Jimmy also struggled with his son having heart surgery so he understands the what if's......his empathy is sweet.
MAY HER SON REST IN ETERNAL PEACE. 🙏♥️♥️♥️
I suffer from depression it’s hard to deal with, but I manage to deal with it.
❤
Same dude
She is such a lovely soul
Im so sorry for her loss
He’s such a class act!!! ❤❤❤ Regina is so beautiful!
Oh my gosh she did the braids at the premiere 😮 how is it that she looks just as good as she did when she wore those braids and poetic justice 😮 timeless beauty
I think she’s grown significantly more beautiful with age. She’s a stunner. Add to that how classy and talented she has always been and you’ve got a complete package. So sad that she is living through this tragedy.
@@ivanrodriguez1573 couldn't agree more, a class act. Also an amazing actress, he forget who she is with every part she plays which makes her amazing. That Netflix series she did where she was the mom of a boy who was killed by cops was such an amazing series which I've been canceled. She won awards for that and it shouldn't have been canceled
@@sophieloves7092 Ot was excellent. You truly felt her pain in that role. She sold me on her acting abilities with her performance in Ray. But that Netflix show put really showcased her talent. There’s a cop show called Southland from the early 2000s. She played a detective named that. She was great on that as well. Check it out. I’m a big big fan of hers.
It hits different when you’re a father or a mother, that’s why Jimmy chocked up. He, nor any parent, can fathom what that must be like but it must HURT LIKE HELL. Regina is pure class though, grabbing Jimmy’s hand to comfort him. God Bless them.
Ooh Jimmy😢
I have an only child (son) and idk what I'd do. She's so strong. But I know it's been difficult. Lord continue to bless Regina and her family. 🙏
