- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- The death of your parent, at any age, is a huge loss. BBC Three spoke to eight people about their experience of bereavement at a young age, and how despite the horror, heartache and absence, there are things they’re still grateful for.
If you, or someone you know, have been affected by bereavement, the following organisations in the UK may be able to help: www.bbc.co.uk/p...

Everyone says it’s going to be okay... but when?! When is it gonna be okay that i don’t have my dad anymore? When is it gonna be okay that I don’t get to see the person I love the most ever again? AT WHAT POINT IS THAT “OKAY”?
I feel you
Same
I know how you feel.And I wanna tell you that you will miss him forever and that is completely normal because you love him.And maybe right now you just spend your days missing him but in a year or two you will start to live again and you will miss him BUT you will accept that he's gone even if It hurts.And not suffering anymore or not thinking about him everyday doesn't mean you don't love him anymore and so you don't have to feel guilty about that.It means you love him so much that you are moving on for him.You said that you will never see him again and that is true.BUT you will find other ways of keeping him close to you,you won't touch him,you won't hug him but you will feel him while looking at the sky,or while listening to his favorite song or while doing something you used to do with him and trust me sometime you will feel him while you are just laying on your bed or washing the dishes.You never lose someone who is part of you.
I feel same
@@giuliamigliavacca7333 Oh my Gosh that hit me right in the feels, it's like you're speaking my mind... Lost my dad 2 years ago and I feel the exact same things you're describing here.
❤ In a way it's always nice to know that at every moment, there is always someone out there experiencing the same kind of pain. Makes you feel more empowered
For those who've lost a parent , youre never truly apart from someone when your a part of someone x
Caribbean Curls this is so beautiful. Thank you so much ❤️
it’s so much pain x
That is not true if they were not in your life. How can you love them if you don't know them.
I lost my father last Monday. He had sudden cardiac arrest. He had a dream to see me getting married and see his grandkids.
@@shefalibhatterchary8763 sorry to hear that.
My dad died three days ago, so now i live alone with my mum, he wasent sick and nobody was expecting it, he died in his sleep. I keep double checking the rooms looking for him, cuse the house feels so empty. Feels like im going insane. I wish nobody would ever need to feel this way, not even my worst enemy.
dont make me cry
That's how I m dealing ...our house is empty now me n mom that's it...I miss him everyday

@@lifethrownoutofthewindow that's life ....he died once but I m dying everyday..
@@prometheusd5703 sorry to hear that
Lost my dad in 2002, I was 29, he was 58. No matter how old you are, losing a parent hurts. I still think of him.
Molly Fanton Yeah it’s awful. I’m 19 I just lost my dad a month ago he was my best friend it’s awful
Im 13. I lost my dad in december.
True. I lost my dad over a week ago...he was 65 so he wasn't really that old...it's also the way he left, that day I had lunch with him and our last conversation was some stupid trivial bs...then that afternoon they let me know he passed away due to cardiac arrest...I am 37 and I am currently absolutely crushed. I wish I had just one more moment with him to tell him how much he meant to me...
@@joekerr9197 My deepest condolences. I lost my father 1,5 years ago. I had just turned 16 and he was only 55 when he passed away
I lost my father rescently .
He was just 59 ys old.its hardest phase of ur lives
I lost my mom to cancer yesterday. She was my everything and my life will never be the same again
Nomfundo Hlongwane sorry dear
Nomfundo Hlongwane I understand what you going though❤️🙏🏾
Stay Strong....
I'm sorry. I just lost my mother today. I'm 14 so I will find ways to feel better in life. But it's hard. If u did, can u tell me how u handled the situation.
Stephon Laviolette hi dear I’m so sorry to hear this. It’s been a very tough journey. I’m still very much heartbroken and just this past few days I was having a breakdown about it. But some days are okay and some are just aren’t. There’s no coping mechanism for this one dear. Strength and love to you ❤️🙏
My mom passed 3 years ago of lung cancer. She was 53 years old and she was my very best friend. I'd give up anything for 1 more hug from her.
Melissa Buttram I lost my mom 2 weeks ago of lung cancer. I know it’s been 9 months since you posted that comment, but I’m hear for you and if you have any advice and I mean ANY advice for how to cope with it, I’ll take anything you’ve got. I am so heartbroken and have fallen into deep depression.
LJ Productions hey, my mom died when I was 8, (I’m 14 now) and here’s my advice to you 💛
-cry and sob, feel yourself panicking and wait the attacks out. Don’t suppress your feelings
-talk to your school counselor, or another counselor, or a teacher (Idk how old you are)
-accept that she wasn’t perfect, but was a good person who didn’t deserve to die. Don’t idolize her though because then you feel like you have to live up to this larger than life figure in your head
-you will think about her everyday and that’s ok, eventually it will just become a part of life.
-you are still human. And you will grow stronger. I know you don’t want to grow stronger, you want it to stay the way it was, you want to be fragile and broken, and you can be, but know at the end of the road you will, whether you want it or not, be more mature and strong than before.
-my siblings lost faith after my moms death, but I didn’t.
-it will. Get. Easier. To. Cope. With, give it a week, a month, however long you can imagine living without her live it, and then live it again
-I know it hurts to talk about her and you don’t have to talk about her with everyone but I implore you PLEASE talk to someone you trust it will help so so much.
-you will be different because of it, but you will not be outcasted from society. You will still have friends and you will still have a life, just a slightly different life than a majority of those around you
-things will trigger you. I’ve been watching Steven universe and through watching it have cried 3-4 times about missing mom.
-you will either become more compassionate and try to help the world, or lose touch with the world and protect only yourself, find a balance please
-self care is soooo important, sleep, eat, bathe, take care of yourself
-get some good friends and family (female) to teach you to shave your legs and makeup and stuff if you are at that age
-not everyone will understand, but almost everyone will sympathize and try to help to the best of their ability. You are loved and people pray for you every night whether you know it or not (Again idk if your Christian but if you aren’t it’s the thought of someone thinking of you each night)
-no matter the highs and lows you experience you will be ok. You will, will be ok and survive and you have to believe in your ability to survive, and your ability to laugh and cope if you want to have the best life you can. You have to know that this death has changed who you are, but you are still you. You haven’t lost a part of yourself when she died. That part of yourself has simply changed.
-you will, in time, find coping mechanisms, maybe that’s crying whenever you need too, making morbid jokes (that’s my favorite) or volunteering more, or forgetting it ever happened. Your body can survive this and your brain will survive this.
-find an outlet. I write songs and stuff (I write and sing a lot and post them on CZcams but I private most all of them cuz they’re just for me) but it can be anything
-and finally, please PLEASE find a counselor or teacher you trust, someone SOMEONE you can vent to and feel safe sobbing in front of. I know I keep repeating this but it helps the healing process tremendously. I just started counseling and it’s emotionally exhausting crying so much but it helps, so, dang, much.
I lost my mom to breast cancer metastasized to the liver, and you have to remember that in a year it will feel better, a month it will feel better, a week it will feel better, a day, a hour. You will always have days you cry but after a couple of years a majority of your life will be normal. 💛💙💕💞♥️❣️💚🌼
Rebecca Seal i was 10 when my dad died i am now 14 and it just hurts me every time i see a picture of him like this shi fucken hurts i just wish i fuckend hugged him
@@rebeccaseal6438 thank you so much 💞 this is helping me so much and i will remember it for sure.
My Dad currently has Lung Cancer and I’m so scared that he might pass away. 😞
My dad died when i was 20 and i was living with him at the time so when he died i became basically homeless at the same time so it was litterally the worst time in my life.. i was grieving while jumping around moving from place to place trying to find a stable place to live. Horrible. I wouldnt wish what i went threw on my worst enemy. Its been about 9 years and it still isnt easy. All im saying to people is dont ever take your parents for granted cuz one day when they arent around your gonna see NOBODY cares about you the way your parents do and it seems like such a cold world after they are gone.
😔😔😔 from the bottom of my heart. I am sorry. If my mother wasn't here tomorrow, I would be left with nothing but a broken heart and a void. 💔 I can't imagine the heartache you endure.
Thanks guys and yes i think i will check that video out ive never heard anyone that had my situation so it would be nice to know i wasnt alone with mine for sure
Netterz my dad is 56 and I'm burning knowing he is gonna be gone soon, I can't sleep I don't tell good and I fell like I'm gonna throw up
I really don't know how to handle this please tell me some ways to cope with losing a father. I'm only 14 and i just don't know how to keep going.
My dad died when I was 9. It’s been a year. I still miss him😢
I lost my mom in 2012 due to cardiac arrest. I was 14, she was 45. It was so painful and difficult. I felt so lost. 6 years later, I still remember her smell - the smell of moth balls and vanilla lotion, it might not be the most pleasant smell to others but it's the most comforting scent to me because it reminds me of her- her laugh, her 'panggigigil' etc. I miss her so much.
I lost my mom 9 months ago. I hope you can get through it. 6 years still isn't enough. It is a horrible tragedy. My mom didn't get to turn 40 she was 33. She didn't live to see me walking down the isle, she won't get to see my children, that's the worst part, she once tolds me that she wanted my kids to call her "honey" you haven't lost her. You just haven't found her yet.
Kaname Sengoku my dad passed away this year, january 3 due to cardiac arrest too. we were never close, fought a lot but there’s still a soft spot for him whenever we’re alright. on the exact day before he died, i wished for him to go because i was tired of fighting with him. I regret wishing it. i miss listening to his songs, i miss dancing with him, showing memes to each other.
Kaname Sengoku it started when we were in SM
As someone who's also lost a parent, I'd like to thank you for being so brave. Our stories have the ability to support and empower each other and make lemonade from life's very sour lemons
masakit talaga, I lost my dad this year January 29, and I stil can’t stop crying, I never thought he would be gone all of a sudden. But the pain your having is something way worse than mine so all I can say is ‘condolences’ 😞
My son is 11 he lost his dad recently he doesn't sleep well he crys at night calls for his dad in his sleep! it's heartbreaking to watch him hurt so much. the grieving process is long hard and painfull
Teresa Denney my dad died last year when I was 12, and it sucks, theirs not much you can do to help, just gonna have to tell him to toughen up like his dad would have wanted that’s what everyone told me about a week after he died
I’ll send my prayers, I lost my dad when I was 9 so I know how he’s feeling. Let him know he’s not alone and try to remind him of happy memories when you think the time is right ❤️
As a 21 y/o woman who lost her mum when she was almost 10 I can offer your son nothing but my sympathy and hope that he manages to deal with his emotions and grief in a healthy way. It’s a terribly hard thing to come to terms with, the death of a parent, so we have to always offer each other love and support 💕 all the best to you and your son and those who are bereaving xxx
Blaine Potter im so sorry for your loss . that sounds a bit harsh. but it's a harsh world grief is a process I tell Ryan every day how proud his dad would be of him. how well he has managed through his grief hes had to be tough all his life as he has autism his dad was his rock When people were unkind to him it's going to be hard for a long time
My dad died when I was 9 and I know how he feels. tell him that he might think he is alone but he isn’t and don’t be afraid to talk to people about what u are going through
Yes they are physically absent, but spiritually ever present.
thats super weird, ill pass. i really dont need to be watched from the after life. i'm good. ill catch you on the flipside.
Yea in hell
Nathaniel Hall Then why you replying to bullshit... You must be a doodoo in a stick.
Nathaniel Hall your so insensitive
i understand you're trying to be comforting but it's just not helpful
my mom passed away on the age of 46 in 2015. I lost her when I was 17. She had a rare type of cancer and it took her life within less than a year. She was and still is my best friend. Life has been so hard without her, the fact that I’ll live most of my life without her makes me so incredibly sad. I miss her so much
I also lost my mother 2 days ago she loves me too much and I do not want to live without her I am at 17 of age I don't want to live any more without her I want to die I have no fear of death now I want to meet my mother last time
Anne how are you doing now I hope you are doing better
Im so sorry anne. I wish i could say anything to help but nothing will help. My father passed away last month on April 25 2020. I loved him more than my own self. After his passing i was diagnosed with typhoid from which i have recovered but i still feel like shit. I think i might go into depression. As days r passing by his memories are becoming even more fresh. The idea that we will never talk again haunts me like anything. I just miss you dad and i wish i could have told you how much you meant to me in your life time, He was the greatest man i knew. We wrestled had so much fun. He would work tirelessly for me. In the end after he died he had my picture in his wallet which now makes me cry even more
@@fottysevenfc4866 your mother would want you to live trust me,she doesnt want you to suffer in sadness and depression....I will live for my mom,until I meet her again when my time comes
@@Србомбоница86 yeah you are right i know she is in hand of God and we will meet our mom again
The day my heart stops acheing is when I lay myself to rest in peace
Please never give up on yourself no matter how hard it may seem
So no ones going to read this but, I have a neighbor in his 30’s. He has an amazing 7 year old little girl, and he just died today. I feel so bad for her because she was so close to her dad. I’m basically her big sister and I wanted to watch this video so I could maybe get a glimpse of what she may go through so I can help in any way I can.
Edit: Thank you for all the nice comments! Good news about her, she is doing well. She is still her happy self but she does still miss him of course. Her dad was in the military and for her b-day a bunch of his military friends showed up and got her a cake.
Folks like you make the world go round 🌎.
@@osaretinomobasuyi5986 Aw, thank you!
It’s wonderful that you take that interest
Today my dad almost died
He was swimming across a huge river
When suddenly he shouted for help
He's alive tho
Thank God
I felt my whole world fall apart
I'm 14
lost my dad when i was 15 to a murder, i miss and love him so much
Kellie I lost my dad also to murder, I really miss my dad everyday
damn me too i was only 4 i never really understood but now i miss him everyday 😔🙏🏽
I’m fifteen and I lost my dad a few months ago. After 6 years, how are you feeling? I always wonder if the pain in my chest I get when I think of him will go away.
@@taylorn4569 god bless u
Sad twer. K
My boyfriend lost his mum when she was just 39. He was 21 at the time. She was the only parent in his life and they were very close. She had a heart attack at home after feeling unwell, and despite our best efforts to save her, she died 5 days later. He was made homeless 8 weeks after losing her, and lived in a hotel until the council could assess the situation and offer him a flat of his own.
Its not easy watching someone you love cope with an enormous loss. Its created a lot of stress on both of us, and we are both dealing with depression. However, we stick together through thick and thin, and will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary in October. I wish she could see how much of a strong person he has grown into, i know she would be so proud of him.
I tried my best to act “normal” when my dad passed away. Being away from home and haven’t had seen him in years, plus the troubled relation we had -which I was hoping to resolve one day (death was faster; that day never came), all that put me on the very edge of a breakdown and I didn’t want show any emotions and have to talk about it. I remember walking aimlessly in the streets, then going inside Nordstrom rack store, crying, weeping between racks of clothes. He passed away around Father’s Day which is coming soon. The pain of dealing with this anniversary is agonizing.
Nour Nour I'm very sorry to hear that. I recently lost my grandmother who had a huge role in my childhood and raised me half the time so I can empathize with you and everyone else.
My heart and mind goes out to all of you . Both mothers day and fathers day are very hard. I lost my grandmother "nana" in march. She had a huge role in raising me and I took the loss not easily. Losing someone so close to you is one of the most difficult things we ever have to face. One thing that may help is internalizing their memory and living out lives in the spirit of their memory. Dedicating success to them and also realizing that our lost loved ones would want us to become stronger and grow from the experience.
💔💔💔💔💔 May your heart heal and be whole again.
Nour Nour my mom passed away one week before mother's day this may and fuck I think mother's day is the hardest dat of the year
Nour Nour I hope your heart heals and that it gets easier to deal with. I’m sorry you didn’t get a chance to resolve things with him. I’m praying for you both.
I haven't lost any parent but I'm still crying after watching this. I'll always rely on them, and as mentioned in the video, loosing that safety and stability a parent always gives you will be so hard. Whether I'm 13 (age now) or 40, it's going to be heart breaking. I love them so much and they mean the world to me...what would I do without them? Everyone sharing their stories are so strong.
lulie pegasus You are so young but also so wise. Thank you for your strength, sympathy, and support. I lost my mom in my early teens and now I'm almost 20.
Piece of advice that you should take seriously. Make time for your mom. Make time for your dad. Soak in every minute and show them all the love you feel. Don't hold back because it's not cool, or think they already know. At 13, you prioritize your friends. Friends come and go, they're temporary. They also aren't there if you need something, or are sick, or hurt. Your parents will ALWAYS be there. They always make time. Then one day theyre gone. Forever.
My biggest regret isn't what I did with my dad, it's what I didn't do. My education, my friends, my boyfriend, my job... Everything slipped into being more important than the most precious person to me. I thought he'd always be there waiting. I had plenty of time. I didnt. It was a clock, ticking down, of time, I waisted. I would give everything I had just ... One... More... Day.
It’s hard to lose a dad
You’re lucky to know the value of your parents at a young age. Pls be the same and be a good child always. Show your parents how much you appreciate them.
love your parents dearly my friend one day they r here next they r gone
I lost my mom almost 2 months ago. I’ll never be the same.
You are right. Grief is a long and individualized process and I think sometimes people forget that. Some day you will grow from this. You may never heal, but you will grow.
💔💔💔 i'm here if you wanna talk
Mariãm Almösawi so kind

I just lost my dad yesterday, I'm 21 and he's 58, A stroke in his brain has just wrote the end to his life. He never did anything but caring for me and standing for me and always guarding me. I don't feel safe and I can't stop crying I feel like my life has just stopped. I feel like he's alive but I can't see him and I can't believe and I won't believe
So sorry pal!
@@paulyb7267 Thanks brother
I’m so sorry 😔 My mom passed away in August so it’s been about 6 months. It’s so hard. I’m so sorry for your loss 😞
How r u doing now
He and his memory will always be with you, Im sorry you lost such an amazing dad 😔
I lost my dad from COVID 19..
The pain is unbearable as there is this void that will never be filled.
Your parents are really the ones who will do anything for you..no one can take their place.
same here, My mom died of Covid19...but she was already sick of diabetes and suffering, it's hard to move on from grief
My dad just passed with covid 19. How ae you keeping now? Xx
Same here...my dad passed away because of Covid last Oct 29, 2021. He's 52 and I am 20. He is very healthy, no underlying or untreated conditions. Covid is his new ultimate fear and it happened to him. I feel so sorry for him and I feel extremely sad because I feel like he has more things to teach me about in life. It was really tragic when he was in the hospital. We can't visit him there cuz we might get infected. I last talked to him last Sept 30, 2021. It was a short talk and I couldn't believe that was the last time I would talk to my daddy. It hurts so much. I couldn't believe it. It was very unexpected. He was our bread winner. He was the glue in our family. And now that he's gone. Nothing's the same anymore. Everything feels like a dream now. My whole life is like a dream now after what happened because all my life, reality was him being alive and healthy.
@@zteezyyy9095 I really feel and relate to this. Keep your head up king ❤🙏🏼
I’m scared to talk about death and losing someone. Guys I can’t imagine losing my parents I’m 25 and I feel like I need them more the older I get. You do really appreciate your parents when your older because you realize all the sacrifices they made and how they loved you even when your stupid.. gosh this is hard to watch 😓😓
Most people don't want to talk about death, I understand what you mean. I lost my father suddenly 17 years ago and it was not until that fateful day did I ever think my parents may not always be here. I miss him and always will. It is important to do all you can each day and try to never have any regrets - regrets make dealing with an impossible situation even more difficult. I was blessed to be close to my dad and he taught me the millions of things in life for the 35 years I was blessed to have with him. He never took life for granted, not one day, not even a second and neither do I. Take care, and have faith.
i know the pain just love them dearly be their as much as possible because one day they here next they gone i know i lost my mom a yr ago and i havent gotten over it
I'm 15 years old and I lost my mum to pancreatic cancer 24 hours ago. I miss her already.
Lost my mum nearly 4 years ago and it still hurts, time's not a healer but time changes everything I'm starting to get used to her not being here, as every day is the longest time we've been apart, she raised me as a single mum so it was me and her for so long, I wish I had her for longer, I was 36 she was 63, I still need my mum, so anyone reading this and still have a parent please look after them you really don't know how lucky you are x
I became an orphan by age 9.. I feel all of these people..
Peace & prosperity bro’s.
I lost my father on May 2nd (one month back) due to sudden heart attack, I was talking to him few minutes before..He is the best dad, and my strength and support system, I watched so many videos still can't come out of the pain, how many times I cried, I still can't believe I can no longer see him/ or talk to him. I am devastated... Dad, why have you done to us, we want you dad... not sure whether i can be normal person again ever in this life...
I wish there was another way and not death
my dad suffered three heart attacks while on ventilator- I spoke to him only a few weeks before and saw him unconscious multiple times so never got to say goodbye because last we spoke, he was fine. I am 17 and everything i did, all my achievements, were more giving back to him than a reflection of my own happiness.. I literally shared my joys with him, and discussed every topic.. I have never felt this way before, but.. I don't see the point in living anymore
@@adyan5453 Be strong Adyan!!
I lost my father to cancer just last year. His first death anniversary is just around the corner and this video is just so perfectly timed. I find it hard sharing with people about what I go through because I am often told “its a part of life” or “deal with it, nothing can be done” and even “just move on already” . It’s very hard. I can’t just move on. I have lost someone so dear to me. Someone very important. How can I move on and get over losing someone in a year or so when they have been my stronghold ever since I was a babe? I don’t know why but the pain doesn’t go away or lessen. The pain I have felt before is still the same now. Maybe someday I can say that it has gotten better- or that I have gotten better at dealing with the pain. People would never undestand until it happens to them. I wish there is more empathy shown for those who have lost a loved one. Hard can’t even cross how terrible it feels.
I marvel at how strong you guys are. My heart goes out to you.
Synchrodicate I am so sorry, sweetheart. You are entitled to mourn as long as you need to. It's been 3 years for me and my heart is still broken. You deal with it how YOU need to and for as long as YOU need to.❤
You don’t really “get over” it. The waves of grief always come. I’m crying at this video and at typing out my story above. But over time, the waves get smaller, they become more predictable, and more manageable. It’ll be 5 years for me on November 18th.
The firsts are always the hardest, take care of your self
I'm just over a year since losing my dad, not a day goes by where I don't think about him. This is YOUR grief and you will deal with it how you need to. People who make such ignorant comments anger me. Best wishes x
My mom passed away suddenly almost 3 years ago. The pain continues everyday and I miss her as much now as then. People do not understand the loss of a parent unless it happens to them. They spout out platitudes that she's in a better place or that time will make it less painful but it's not them on Mother's Day all alone or at Christmas with a place at the table empty. I feel like an orphan and I never expected this at such a your age.
My dad passed away in March of 2018 due to a heart attack and we had no idea it was coming I was 14 then now I’m 16. Life only gets harder and I just hope my father is happy in heaven. He was the best dad I could’ve ever asked for, I miss him more and more every day. I love you daddy 💙
Lost my mom when I was 19. She was only 44. She got cancer and it killed her. And also killed a part in me.
"When you have a child. Its like living with your heart outside of your body. "
Now I am a heart without a body. Exposed to the world without your safe embrassing love. Miss you terrible much
Lost my dad to heart attack then my mom a week later to self suicid when i was 23 with a 9 month old
thats very tragic :-(
Lost my dad and hero of 54 years in the same way 4 weeks ago, at 23 years old. I'm trying to stay strong, but I'm also getting suicidal thoughts, I also worry for my mum, I'm hoping this doesn't get too much for me. I feel empty and dead inside
@@MJSpin1 I miss my dad . I love him a lot . I feel dead inside like u .
I’m sorry to hear that 😥
I lost my dad to a heart attack too
My mom passed away yesterday morning. I'm broken. I lost not only my mother but also my best friend. So many memories I have with her. I don't know how I'm going to do life without her
I feel you! My mum was my very bestest friend. I got lots and lots of therapy and found that helpful, as well as volunteering with animals ♥️
Lost my dad a few weeks ago. He just went to sleep one night and never woke up. Don't ever take your parents for granted. I miss my dad so much it hurts. His funeral was the hardest thing I have ever experienced in my life.
I look through in the comment section and I started to tear up.
We should all be strong, not only for yourself but for others who have lost someone too.
I'm so proud of you guys!!
I’m 21 ,lost my mom 3 days ago she was 45.Cant get over the fact that she is no more.

Keep your head up bro, im sitting here without a dad for 4 years, i know it's tough

lost my mom at 13 due to cancer and my dad last year at 22. I miss them so much, but like the the last girl said. I'm happy i had those years with them.
Last year I’ve lost my dad last year and this month I’ve lost my mom too and now I’m trying to be strong and figuring how to be independently strong.

1:28 is so relatable... no human can ever give you that exact same love. Only God can comfort us and give us a better hope.
AMEN
I lost my mom last month. She was just dancing so happily and then all of a sudden she fainted-she passed away at that moment. It still doesn’t make any sense, she ate healthy, did her walks….I’m currently 20, life is definitely not getting any easier. My condolences to all of you who have lost a parent, brings me comfort that I’m not in this grieving process alone❤️
I miss you more that anything..everyday is harder without you
I’m so afraid of losing my mom. I can’t imagine a life without her in it, it terrifies me.
To whoever is reading this, you will be okay eventually and I wish u all the best and sending all my love to you and your family ❤️
My dad just died today he was everything to me and I miss him so much he was so strong then all of a sudden it went downhill.... but I am happy he doesn’t have to suffer.
I juss lost my mom and im at a stage of depression hoping i dont wake up i dont want to be in this world everything is not going to be the same i miss her so much i feel like no one could ever love me like she did she just had this smile that set everyone up she was down to earth she loved everyone and had the most beautiful personality can anyone give me advice
When i lost my grand pa i felt so lonely, i placed his picture next to my computer and every time i felt awful i just saw the picture, sometimes i added a candle and flowers. Honor your loved mom in any way you like, cry as much as you want. She wouldn't like to see you so bad. Go to the park and the forest and talk to god.
I'm a 26 year old man and still have both of my parents but I am on the venge of crying everytime I think about loosing one of them.
Its so surreal to think they will get old and die just over the next few decades. My childhood fears never vanished.
I relate to this so much.
My dad lost his mum at 18 years old. I grew up wondering about her and within the last couple months we found pictures of her - the first time I had ever seen her. That's when my dad let slip that after she died, he doesn't remember the next year of his life. He drank his pain away. The pain was so raw even now, 41 years later. I can't imagine how I would handle losing either my mum or dad. My heart goes out to all of you.
Sara, you said something important here. your dad doesn't remember the next year of his life. This is what happened to me, i didn't loose a parent but my 23 year old neighbour next door was murdered. this girl was so ALIVE that i had trouble processing her death. My grief was personal and i realize last year that i had no recollection of the year 2015 , because i operated like a robot , during the murder investigation and a whole year after. I don't know whether having the police on my door step for months at a time made my grief more profound. When her parents came to collect her remain from Poland , it became so real.
My father was my favorite person in the whole world.
He died yesterday, at age 50, after having a heart attack and the ambulance he was being transported in took 4 hours to arrive at a hospital that accepted him. Three were filled with patients because of covid and turned him away.
I’m 18, my brother is 12, I just hope it gets easier with time, and my mother’s heart heals at least a bit from this massive heartbreak.
Stay strong guys, you are not alone.
It's been 17 days since my dad left me.....I now feel the pain everyday,but the day he went,is when I took rebirth as a completely different person. Thanks dad for making me matured and strong
you never truly know what you had until you lose it.
Sadly I am here. Just lost my dad. I am 23. It feels like its not real. Hope we all can get better.
I just lost my mom 2 weeks ago...I spent every single day with her for 25 years....it happened suddenly and now she is gone....I wish I can have her back
I just recently lost my dad unexpectedly the day after his birthday and nothing is the same it’s so nice to hear others talk about it in a way that makes me feel better I just never thought that at the age of 16 I wouldn’t have a father anymore
Lost my dad to cancer 4 days ago, it hurts, and with him no being around just feels empty. The only place where i can meet him is in my dreams but i know i’ll have to wake up soon
Jesse Tep how did you deal with if lost my mum to suicide today I’m 15
Lost my father yesterday. He was 61. Dad thanks for teaching me everything. Thanks for being with mom and providing for the family. The movies I watch is because of you, the music I listen to is because of you. I love you daddy
I lost my dad 40 days ago and it really hurts a lot I'm still 19 and he was young too, it feels like you lost the one who would surely keep you safe and who would give you his whole heart. My relationship with dad was strong and i really miss him everyday like crazy , it really feels like i can't live in a world without him. He was my best friend and i was his little girl. I miss you dad , life is meaningless without you , but still after your death you are keeping me going , i will do anything to make you proud..Our meeting was short on earth maybe we'll meet again when it is time for me to say goodbye to the world too. I love you.💔 Forever your little girl.
I'm experiencing a feeling I never thought I would ever experience so early losing my dad. Don't wish it on anyone ever. I hope I can learn to make peace and be strong for the family. RIP Dad.
Lost my mother at 15 to a pulmonary embolism. It has yet to get better. I’m glad this video was made, hopefully it makes people appreciate their parents more... I wish I could go back and not be a spoiled brat
I JUST LOST MY DAD TO COVID. NEVER DID I THINK HE WOULD EVER LEAVE MY MOM AND I SO SOON. HE BATTLED THE TOUGHEST OBSTACLES IN LIFE. HE WAS MORE THAN MY FATHER HE WAS A BROTHER, A BEST FRIEND, THE GREATEST MAN I EVER KNOWN. I DONT KNOW HOW IM GONNA RECOVER AND BE A ROCK FOR MY MOM. I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO HEAR HIS VOICE AGAIN.
Losing a parent because of old age isn't that painful, because you know they have to go. But losing a parent, because of cancer or any other reasons except old age is the most painful thing in the world
So true..
Lost my dad roughly 6 years ago. I still occasionally have dreams where he's alive, and there's still times where I wish I could talk to him. It's hard, but it's gotten easier with time. I'm not ashamed to say I still cry like a baby about it sometimes
Lost my dad two weeks ago and listening to these stories, it's clear losing a parent at any age is painfu. My dad was only in his late 50s. It felt like someone stabbed me in the chest and I'll never get back the person who understood me more than anyone.
My dad past today... miss him allready.
I lost my dad when I was 14 and my brother was 11. This really hit home and was very helpful. It’s been 5 months he died only 2 days after Christmas Cancer changed him I couldn’t cope. I still struggle now it’s so hard so I can’t stress to you how much you should cherish your parents. He was amazing I miss him more and more today. His cancer was supposed to be easily curable
If you are in the US I recommend visiting the website for Camp Kesem. They provide free overnight camp for youths ages 6-18 affected by a parent's cancer
My dad passed on dec 21 2019 and I’m only 12. He was my best friend and we did everything together. It’s so hard to imagine the rest of my life without him bc I had imagined doing so many things and having him there at my high school graduation and my wedding but I lost him to suicide after him and my mom split and I will never be the same. I love you dad🤧❤️❤️❤️
I love you gall🤍🌟
I miss my dad so much 😭 but so grateful for the time I did have with him because he taught me so much
me too 🥀
i lost my dad just over a week ago. Mentally It's like i'm lost in limbo, all the joy has left my body and i can't see how it will return. My dad was my safe place in this world someone who was always kind and loving towards me and now I don't have that. Waking up is the worst, because i'm only painfree when I'm asleep. Reading others peoples stories is helping me a bit so im grateful for this video and these comments.
I lost my Dad 5 days ago. I am still in denial. Knowing that you are not alone really helps. I miss him everyday. I know life will never be the same
I'm 15 and I just cant stop thinking of loosing my parents I'm not sure I'm ready
I lost my father a month or two before my 17th, he was in hospital from lupus and doing fine then all of a sudden he turned over night I talked to him a few days ago and then he suddenly went. I wasn't that close to him but he was my dad and he had his moments.
I lost my Mum 03.03.2020 from Glioblastoma ! God willing I will see you Mum in Paradise!!! You are the Strongest person I have ever met ! I love You Mama
just today my mum and i were given the news that my dad passed away. he had lung cancer and was in the hospice in the last few days of his life and i remember just being on a call with him yesterday right after school and his last words to me being "i love you too, i'm so excited to see you this weekend again"; he seemed so lively and happy these past few days, his death feels so surreal to me,, feels as if hed call me any minute to tell me he just slept in and forgot to call, but i know it wont happen.
to everyone out there dealing with the loss of a parent, or otherwise a loved one, im sending my prayers out to you, take care and know your loved one will always be watching over you like a guardian angel.
I know the pain of each one of these young men and women. My Dad recently passed on this April 4 he was 88 I'm 60 but still my Dad. The pain is still there so memories of him but I know that he will always be in my heart in my thoughts. Peace and love for everyone
You were blessed to have him in your life for as long as you did.
Ye, I am too, will be forever grateful they were very old
I lost my father a week ago. I do not know how to believe this. He was such a great man.
I lost my mom when I was 16, my dad when I was 18, my sister when I was 35 (she was 41), now loosing my brother at the age of 55, he is three years older than me. It's been quite the life. Very few understand the depth of it. Blessings.
I felt numb how my dad died at my age of 10 if i did something wrong he'd always forgive me he'd spoil me it doesnt feel safe to sleep without a dad there to protect you i love you dad wherever you are
I’ve just lost my father from liver cancer today this is helping me and I recommend it for anyone who lost a parent
My dad passed away when I was 12, over Christmas. He is my best friend, my favourite person and the only person I’ve ever felt a connection with. I don’t know what to do without him, it’s been about two years and a half now.
Big love to anyone reading this and has lost a parent or both. My dad died very suddenly from cancer last year at 51 and I honestly didn’t want to be alive anymore. The thought of losing more people I love throughout my life is so painful but over time, the pain and sadness became easier to bear and there are so many things worth living for.
I do believe there is something out there and it’s not the end.
To anyone dealing with grief, you are not alone. Big virtual squeeze from me x
So sorry for your loss. I’m glad the pain has gotten easier to manage for you. I can’t wait until I get there.
Lost my mother when I was 7 and every day is still a struggle
Dylan My mom died from cancer when I was 7, so I can relate to you completely. I’m now 12, so this was 5 years ago. I have to cry myself to sleep either mentally or physically everyday. Very sorry for you loss as well.
It doesnt.
I lost mine a month after I turned 7, today makes 9 years since she’s been gone💔. I miss her so much, sorry for your loss also🥺
@@khaiya.a sending you love
@@catherinew.2674 I'm so sorry, I'm sending you love
I’m 23 and I lost my Dad. Two days ago he passed away. I would do anything that I would see him again and hear his voice. He had a lung cancer. I’m so lost without him and I just want that he would come back.
I am so sorry for you losing your dad like that and with the Pandemic making it so difficult for those who lose a loved one in death. We always miss the ones we love. My fathered travelled for his work so it wasn't strange for him not to be at home. It felt like he was "away" until one day you admit that he isn't coming back. I am comforted to know what the Bible says about death, that it is an enemy and the hope of seeing my dad again on the earth in a Paradise like originally created. Without that hope I don't know where I would be. Stay safe, I am thinking of you.
I lost my father when I was 9 I’m now 36 years old and the best advice I can give any young person who loses a parent don’t be ashamed to talk to people and get help I turned away from help and while I have a very good life the repercussions of not getting help years ago comes smashing through all the time
I came here late, lost my dad last month...i miss him a lot. Looking at the comments make me realize many have lost someone they love and this comment section is the most sorrowful one, still touches the heart. Rest in peace all the great souls
I am living with fear of losing my parents. Everyday at night in my I am always thinking about it. Like- how I can live without parents. I am just unable to thinking about myself without mom and dad. Do I able to live without mom and dad. That's why I am here.
I lost my dad when I was 8... and still he is my best friend my superhero my everything..
I lost my dad last year and I can’t put myself back on the ground, I just want to talk to people who know what it’s like
Im losing my dad due to small cell lung cancer, life sucks, he s been the best dad ever to me. I will be always thankful to him. He is leaving me with the money and the stuff, but most of all he gave me the motivation during my youth to study and get a good job, and he is proud of what i have become. I am so sad, parents shoudnt die so early...he s just 63, he wanted to do many things. The pain is immense.
Just lost my mother a week ago. Miss her so much. I’ll always love her 💔😪
🙏🙏🙏
Lost my dad when I was 14. When i was so fragile with the world and he always kept me safe and secure. He was literally the best person in my life. Who gave me so much hope and love. I believe i am still trying to live my life because of the love hes been giving me. I miss you dad. Its been 9 years. and i still miss you. i love you.
I am so blessed to have my mum and dad they are both 70 and I am 44. I dread the day they are gone😭. They have given me absolute unconditional love all my life and always solved every problem that ever arose.
my mom died 4 days ago at age 70,i am 34 but feel like a little child these days,its a weird, empty,powerless feeling
My dad died on literally the past day of 2020 out of nowhere. He was 50 and died of a massive heart attack. I have trouble still comprehending exactly what happened and that its forever and he's not coming back. Its not like he had a disease or anything that he knew was happening which is probably one of the reasons why its hard to understand
I lost my mum 6 years ago nearly 7 and she was 38 years old. i was 9 years old. I had to move to another country and it was the worst time of my life. I rly miss her. Now im strong as ever living with my dad, but its hard to wake up everyday and realize shes not here anymore :(
I lost my father November 12, 2019, my mother on December 3rd, 2017. I witnessed both their deaths as they were both very sick when it happened. They were both extraordinary parents, the best anyone could ever ask for. And I miss them terribly. To those that, like me, are grieving, please stay strong. There will be light at the end of the tunnel, even if the tunnel seems endless.
I've always thought about how I would react if my Parent(s) would have tragically died. Luckily they are still here, safe and sound. This video made me appreciate there presence.
To everyone who has lost a parent,
I'm so sorry. I cannot even imagine the pain you go through day in and day out.
I don't even know you. I don't know your name, life story... anything. But I hope each and everyone of you, understand that we are all here for you.
Much love ❤
I lost my dad back in 2018, when I was 18 years old. He had methastatic stomach cancer. He was definitely my best friend back when I was a kid, but we started losing contact in my teenage years. It hurts so much to think that I lost my last moments with him. I didn't expect him to be gone so soon.
Anyway, if you've lost a parent or a loved one recently: it does get better. I promise. You'll feel like everything is a whole blur at first, it will feel surreal, and it'll hurt. But you'll get through it eventually.
I'm one of those who think you can't actually "get through" a loss, entirely, I think it's always a part of you. But it does get better. You may find yourself reminiscing memories from the past when you were with them, you may get frustrated over how much you would like to share something with them, but it's normal. It keeps us close to them. No one is gone if they're still on your head.
Everything gets better, you just gotta hold on a little ♥
My mum died 5 years ago I was turning 25. She died from liver failure she was an alcoholic, but that did not define her. She was a really funny and kind hearted person.
Im so sorry to hear about your loss. My dad is dying from liver cirrohosis.... its a matter of when..
I’m here missing my dad so much after 23years. This emotion is so real and valid
Lost my mother at 4😭, she was 36🦋
Vicki louise I'm so sorry love
Vicki louise she was so young, what day u lose her to? Also I hope if coping well
so sorry 💛
To all of those hurting, I lost my mother 1yr ago. There’s ups and downs. Don’t bottle it up. Cry. Crying is so great for you and you know that you can take the time to miss them whenever you need to. It can be something that may interrupt something but still you owe it to yourself to keep loving them even though they are gone.❤
