      My mom passed from a massive heart attack October 16, 2023 (the same day she was going for a check up with her doctor.). I feel like the best part of me died when she passed. I told my family I'm just a walking zombie because, my heart is forever broken beyond repair. I am truly so sorry for y'alls loss.

      I lost my mum on 16th November. I’m 55. She was my friend, my sounding board, she was clever and funny beyond words. We nursed her during her lung cancer . The loss of her is too huge , the void is a gaping hole - I miss her more than any words could ever describe and I feel I will NEVER recover .. I can’t believe she has gone , I yearn for her so much.

    I lost my mom last week and I find it hard to realize it yet even if I have the urn right in front of me. I suddenly felt the greatest and utter loneliness. My mom raised me as a single parent and I was taking care of her until she passed from cancer. I feel like I lost a piece of myself along with her.

      I feel your pain too, I lost my mother recently and I feel a part of me was ripped apart! 😭💔. My mom also raised us as a single mother, and I was very close to her too. She lived with me until she passed away. Is been extremely difficult for me but what's helping me are God's prayers. Taking it day by day and asking Jesus Christ for strength, healing, and resignation soon.

    I lost my mom at the start of this year and dad 4 years ago-I can identify with the feelings of all comments here-being an independent person, I thought I could survive with dealing with the grief myself but that was not so. Hearing peoples pain and advice from experience has helped a lot and I'm glad that there is some decent people who make an effort to post videos like this, thank you. The healing process is very different for each individual but luckily we can grow strength and compassion from one another.

    I lost my Dad 10 days ago, Nov. 3 2023. I was never close to him, but he was a good provider. I didn't think I would mourn his death very much but I find myself very depressed. I lost my Mom March 3, 2016, and it devastated me. We were so close she was like my breath, my heartbeat. It was horrible losing her but by the 3rd year God had done some great healing in me and I didn't hurt as much. I still felt alone, sadness, but I was learning to live without her. It's really odd when you have lost both parents. My prayers go out to those who understand this.

    My mom had passed on the floor after trying to get out of bed on December 27th, 2023 and when I got home I just assumed she was taking a nap as the door to her room is always closed. It’s completely normal to feel like if you had known the signs or done something earlier you could’ve saved them but unfortunately life is just so unpredictable. The only thing we can do for them is to live life to the fullest as this is what they would want for us. It is not the end. We will see them again someday, but until then, even though it’s extremely difficult, we have to continue forward- until that day comes.

    That is a very good video. I'm from New Zealand. I helped The Salvation Army's disaster relief effort after the 2011 earthquake. Very saddening indeed. I helped out 11 months after the disaster occurred. The people who we served along side with were grieving for the destruction of their city. We also served those who had lost loved ones in the earthquake. This affected us all in different ways indeed. Even as I write this message, I am feeling proud that I was able to help in our nation's time of need. Arohanui (lots of love) Jackson.

    I’m so terrified of losing my parents, I feel like I won’t survive as I feel so dependent on them, I suffer with depression and lost my younger sister when she was 15. Honestly when she died one of the first thoughts in my head was who will help me look after mum and dad when they are dying. My mum has major health problems and I can’t sleep because of it. I’m lost 😞

    I lost my mom 25 years ago, im 35 now. That day broke me in so many ways, ive never been the same. I got jumped when i was 19 by a group lads with tools and i got beaten within an inch of my life and robbed shortly after going to a cash machine and was taken to hospital unconscious on a stretcher and i got stabbed in my eye and lost my left eye I struggle to find happiness in anything i do ever anymore i feel so broken. Ive been so unlucky, another year, after this event i got hit by a car and my ACL was ruptured and my meniscus was torn. Im in agony every single day both mentally and physically. Ive been close to the edge for so many years, my kids are the only reasons im still here now, they are 5 and 11 yo, i got a boy and girl, they're my angels. Its becoming increasingly difficult in recent years to live day to day and pretend to be happy when im perpetually dying inside on a daily basis. Wish i wasnt so broken, my kids deserve better than a man that is broken. I love my 2 amazing children so much. No matter what happens in the future kids, daddy always loved u!

    Yes i was out of my emotions the last days. I was angry. I was grumpy. My mother was sadly not so nice to me, but still is it not so easy, i still took care of her for many years. People got mad at me. Everyone expects always that you act always in perfection, no matter if your mother is on the deathbed, and then died, no matter if you are sick or injured, no matter if you struggle financially and nobody helps. But if you say once ass or idiot then you are the worst person ever. And so much in your 10's and 20's that happened.

    I lost my mom in October on my brothers 13th birthday it was so unexpected she found out she had cancer 2 months before and I was her main caretaker and on that day she just went into cardiac arrest and died infront of me and my brother and sister 2 days later I found out I was pregnant, I’m only 18 and these past few months have changed my life in every way I’m so hurt because I wasn’t that close to her because I pushed her away over substances and it eats at me every day I can’t even remember the last time I gave a hug she was my only parent and I feel so lost without her I just want to hug her so tightly, it’s so hard having to go through grief over my mom and also trying to be excited for a baby I know if I told her I was pregnant she would be filled with joy it just sucks so bad. The only thing keeping me going is knowing I’m growing a baby if I didn’t find out I was pregnant I would let drugs and alcohol take over more than they ever did before my life has been so hard and I’m just excited to just be a mom I’m really really trying to stay positive right now that is all I want now I just want to be a good mom like my mom but it’s so hard to keep going ever since she died every day is harder without her I just want to hear her yell at me or call my name or just laugh and tell me I love you I miss her so much I just hope it gets better.

    It's so unfair to lose a parent when you're a young child. I lost Mom to breast cancer she was only 44. It has shaped every part of my life and many times I say it has ruined every part of my life. And then as fate would have it, then my Father also died from cancer as well. IT IS SO UNFAIR. I've just learned to accept that I will never get over it. I will never, ever, ever get over it and I am so ready to see them both. I am ready.

    I just lost my dad, 62 years old. I still can't believe that i just entered my 30s with losing my dad. He had a mini heart attack, he did a quadruple bypass surgery but never recovered. 2 days after the surgery, he lost his oxygen, he was in ICU for a month in a comatose state - not responding, with high fever - and on my bday (21st February), after a small tracheostomy, he regained the missing oxygen and woke up. I had him for like a month - he couldn't speak, but at least, i could say "i love you" to him. A week after, he started to have internal bleedings and finally, yesterday, he was not responding to medicine. In 10 minutes, he was past. Tomorrow is the funeral.I have nothing more to say but, see you soon.
