      @Melanin Queen you are so right because when she said I'm okay and broke down that clearly showed she really isn't okay.. and it's okay not to be okay...people somehow feel like they have to have this strong strength when a devastation has happened and you don't.. it's okay, you don't have to and it's even okay if you don't want to right?

      I lost my son almost 2 years ago suddenly. I went back to work a week later. Seems soon but i needed a schedule back. I needed to know i wake up at 6:15 am, i do yoga and work from a to b. I make dinner, etc. Yes i grieve still and recognized that not having simple goals was not helping me either. I still took the appropriate amount of time to plan necessary things. I cried everyday in my car for months. Two years later it isn't always tears but he he definitely at the fore front of my thoughts. The grief is forever unfortunately.
      I imagine Tamara maybe felt the same and needed to her schedule back and to have the focus of her day not entirely be grief.

    I saw her cry on tic Tok and I had to find out why she was hurt I am such a huge fan every since sister sister . So I look up this story and just let me say when I herd her say I'm ok , I can feel the pain she was trying to hold in and cover up and I began to cry with her losing someone that you are so close to may it be family or a friend especially at a young age and the way she past it's something that is so hard to recover. Her niece not only was she beautiful she looks as if she brought so much joy to her families life as if when she walk in the room she brought nothing but love n sunshine . I know that this happen a year or so ago but I pray for her family and any one who has lost someone in that way like she said this world needs more love more supporting each other life is to short . So my love I share with all. All lives matter no matter who you are I love you for just being you

    • @worshipcatalyst1
      @worshipcatalyst1 Před 5 lety +18

      she probably meant it in that moment but knowing that people weren't actually asking about her but about how what happened affects her - it's a reminder. your current state of being and what affects it are two different things. so she was ok for a moment and then everything came back and then she moved forward with that. and tears dont always mean someone isnt ok. just like laughing doesnt always mean someone is good/fine etc. emotions, mental health and the grieving process are so vast. best to never assume such things and let people be free to feel out how they feel inside for themselves.
      am i saying you're wrong in assuming she wasnt ok? no. i think that's a default response pending a person's tone, body language, facial expression, etc and knowing what has happened. but a healthy person does have moments of being "ok" in the midst of hard times which gives a relief to the stress of processing a situation. it's when you stay down and cant come up for air that you have a problem.
      i hope this doesnt offend anyone. i've just processed so much grief, trauma and loss and i hate when people assume how i feel instead of asking. i hope y'all have a pleasant holiday season and please stay safe out there.

    That moment when you're hurting inside and for a moment you think you're fine, then someone asks you how are you, and immediately the tears begins to flow. I felt that in my heart. It is never easy losing someone you love and care about. I cried literally as soon s she started talking.

    We my family and I lost my brother and I feel her it hurts sooo bad 👎 first months unbearable pain , I think you never get back to normal because you are missing that one close person but theres no other way than forward you just have to live with it the rest of your days until we are back together with that person someday ❤️

    Its one thing to be grieving over the loss of a loved one but to then go online and see hateful comments from people because of statements made by her husband has got to be killing her!! EVERY VICTIM AND THEIR FAMILIES OF THIS TRAGEDY HAS MY HEART AND PRAYERS!!! May the blessings of the Lord keep them at peace!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

      Some are hateful some are speaking from anger regarding Trayvon. She deserves her moment to grieve her kins loss, but you shoildnt have to lose a loved one in this manner to access the pain it would feel. Trayvons mother lost her child, to hear Adams comments muat have hurt too. We must be careful what we say, none of us our exempt from the potential of this pain.

My uncle passed away and he actually was always active at the borderline bar/restaurant and I definitely feel your pain. I came in here to show love to those who may be grieving because I am there with you. Giving a big hug to whoever needs it because sometimes during grieve we feel so alone… ❤

    Ugh this makes me cry and hurt for her. I have the same type of relationship with my niece from my husbands family. I’ve known her since she was 7, she just turned 21 and she really is one of my best friends. I love her so much so I know Tamera is broken by this as I would be too. I saw comments on another video saying “she wasn’t even her real niece.” It doesn’t matter that they didn’t share the same blood, they were family. My heart goes out to you Tamera, I can’t imagine what you must be going through.

  • @neyyy352

  • @TheYaoigirl101

    I've watched this video many times since it was released and I am comfortable now talking about it. I am from the town where this shooting took place. At the time I was frantic thinking about if I knew anyone that was there. Thankfully I didn't but my heart goes out to those directly affected by it. I was home that weekend and the fire broke out. I was so torn up about what was happening to our town I was lost for a while. Tamera's words explain it all. I don't think I will even get over the fear and suffering myself and people around me felt but I will move forward.
    Sister Sister was one of my favorite shows growing up, I never had a sister but watching that show made me feel as if I did have one through them.
    Thank you Tamera for everything back then and now.
    Love shall over come grief, always.
