Dying isn't a bad thing, you know this if your spiritually woke, your mom left this chaos that's run by Freemason shills, your mom is lucky to leave this hell hole
I lost my wife of 32 years recently. Every word you said rang true with me. I use the love I have for her to live better and be a better human being. Thank you for that. Aloha. Chuck
This is deep. My brother died at 31. Needed a pacemaker and those bastards said he’d be fine and sent him home. He died 3 days later and it destroyed me. 18 months later my dad died. Then last year was my mom. It all sucks but every single damn word you just said was right on the money. Thanks jocko. And it is the best people that go first
Bro, you have my condolences. Lost my mum in October 2019 and watched my siblings attack each other. I distanced myself and avoided them. Both my parents are gone and this world feels like a place I no longer know.
I just lost my father. He was my world. My Motivation! My Hero! My best friend! My safety blanket! Now! Now I'll be strong for you Dad! I love you! And we all miss you!
After the death of my dad (Suicide) in 2017 the things that saved me were and are: Working out (in the beginning running was the best stress relief) writing (daily) and working. You can’t sit at home and do nothing. *edit* I’d add praying to that too. God will carry you through
“Rejoice for those who pass onto the next life. Attachment is the shadow of greed, train yourself to release what you fear to lose. Let go of fear, and loss cannot harm you.” I’m sorry for your loss friend. I keep this in mind but it still doesn’t make it easy. It’s nice to meet someone of similar interest though. How big into the Jedi thing are you?
The love of my life was murdered recently. I'm still in denial & haven't accepted it yet. I'm going to save this video to my playlist and watch it again. Jocko has always inspired me with other issues, struggles, etc - I really hope I can get through this. 💔 RIP Tara Lynn
Thank you for these words Jocko, this really hits home to me. My little sister passed away almost 2 years ago now, still to this day I struggle with it on a daily basis. I am 23 years old and she was my best friend, I tried to use your "good" speech when it happened and It hurt me a lot, it was hard to think that there could be any good to come from her death. I still would not say there's anything "good". But you definitely opened my eyes up to it a bit more. I am absolutely honoured to have spent the time I did with her, she's really changed a lot of peoples outlook on life. For her I try to smile extra each day, be kinder to humans and try to love and accept everyone, because that's what she did during her time here. Again, thank you so much Jocko, I have been a follower of yours for 3 years now and your words never fail to motivate me sir. I really needed this. Time to get after it now!!
@Kevin Castellanos Thank you Kevin for your kind words. I definitely agree with you, tragedy should be dealt with gently. I am new to grief, all my life my family has been fortunate in regards to death, we have lost some family members but nothing like this. So when this happened it shocked everyone for obvious reasons. I try to live for her everyday, I went down a wrong path shortly after her death but straightened myself out quickly and realized I was being very selfish. Like you say it's about having the motive to live for the fallen, I totally relate to that. Again, thank you! I appreciate the words a lot.
As someone who also has a little sister, I can’t imagine how you are feeling but she would be proud to know that because of her you smile everyday. Take care
Sorry for your loss. We will all face that grief eventually, and you will be able to comfort others that go through that hell, since you have walked that path already, and honored your sisters life by doing it the right way. You have my deepest respect soldier. Stay the course Brother
Lost my dad yesterday. I’m 22, just graduated college, and now it’s just me my mom and brother left. I’m extremely broken but know that I need to move on. Probably won’t see this but I appreciate these words Jocko, a true hero to all
Hear me out. My son felt the loss of his first pet...a small fish. This fish entered his life when we were locked in our house for 8 months as he sat at a lonely desk by himself doing Zoom school every day. Staring at this small fish gave him ease and welcomed distraction. Point is, to my surprise, he's cried uncontrollably for several days at the loss of this fish. My first reaction was to dismiss it and not expect it to be a big deal. This was a huge loss for him. I could have missed the opportunity to share this video with him. Instead, after watching this, we had many long talks about life and death in a much deeper way by me respecting his pain. I know he will take this lesson when he loses people in the future. Thank you.
Lost my mom 2 years ago....its tuff. I break down at times. But i still feel her and talk to her! Its getting a little better. I keep going not just for her but for my self and my family. That's all we can ever do. Keep going!!!
Reading through these comments and see a lot of young people (14, 17, 20, 21, 23) who have lost their mothers fathers or sisters... My sister and I almost lost my mother last month a couple days after my 23rd birthday and we are fortunate enough to have come together to support her through weeks at the hospital. Moms a lot better but her life won't be the same. I pray to the higher power with gratitude that she's still strong and not suffering. Let us worry not. Thanks Jocko and thanks fellow CZcamsrs. I am sorry for the loss you've all had to endure. Stay strong.
Saw this video recently. Think it was about a man who’d lost his child, the waves of pain and rowing the boat. My mother died in MICU on Nov/24/2022, 6:23 thereabouts. And we’ve arranged her funeral. It has been the first loss of a close loved one for me, and the greatest blow ever struck. She suffered, endured with fortitude, and passed by comfort care, she fought cancer for 4 years and spent the last month of it in the hospital. We’re planning celebration of our life, even now, and I concur with this video and thank you for the last, as it gave some comfort in understanding. Her salvation was assured, of that I’m certain and I admit with some shame I didn’t care too much that God could see all of me or my ancestors, but my Mother? This is a different story. I am resolved to row the boat as it were and make my life her legacy and make it a fine one. My sincerest condolences to all those here who have lost a loved one and to those who’ve suffered further, and for whom the whole world is now terra-incognita, hold fast, reel in your loved ones, and embrace the life that has been given and will be taken away.
One of the best men I have ever met died in May of 2022. I was overseas when it happened, and have not been able to properly grieve or mourn his passing. Of our group of guys he was the best one amongst us. RIP brother. I love and miss you everyday. RIP Seth Michael Plant A fucking bear, what a way to go.
Last september i lost my aunt to cancer and the only thing she wanted to do before she passed away was to see her youngest of 3 graduate high school. All she wanted was 2 years to see him graduate. All of this hits so closely to me. I miss her every day and even typing this right now I am crying. One of the things she wanted to see was see me play tennis. She never got to. I'm 16 and now I have dedicated this season to her because I know that she may not be watching physically, but she is watching me up above. Whether I win or lose I may cry after every match that I play out of happiness because I know she'll be proud of me no matter the outcome.
I lost my Mom a week ago to liver cancer and spent the last week of her life by her side... this video right here. May you be blessed for making it.... I thank you....
Lost my mom this past thanksgiving. Missed a call from her that day and won’t ever forgive myself for not being there to answer. Still break down every time I think about it. She was only 46, tried to get her to take better care of herself but addiction got the best of her. We had a rocky relationship but I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t give anything to talk to her again. Best wishes to anyone coping with the death of a loved one.
My dad died 2 months ago. Still dealing with it, but Jocko just put into words what his death made me realize. Life is precious. Life is short. Live it. Side note, it also was the final push to start Jiu-Jitsu. Oos
I lost my mom 2 days ago my everything… life is very confusing right now but i know going forward is all I have jockos words have been my exact thoughts life happens I just want to make her proud and live the best life I can for her… and I’ll see her again
Exactly. People are so wrapped up in their materialistic lives never stop to think about the things that actually matter, like spending time with people before they die because they are going to die.
The hurt of the loss is like no other kind of hurt. But the pain is love. The love persists and crosses the barrier between life and death; the pain of separation from our loved one will always be there, I think. That's just how it is.
Nailed it. I lost my best friend in 2014 and it still hurts.. but knowing I was lucky enough to know such a great person with such a great personality and sense of humour is so comforting. Lucas had all the potential in the world, but shit just happens… Miss you to death big dawg… see you when I see you.
I lost my dad yesterday from heart failure. I didn’t expect to wake up that day and lose a loved one. I saw him 2 hours before he collapsed and got sent to the ER he was fine you would have never knew. I love you dad, thank you.
I’m 2 weeks out from donating my kidney to my stepson... god has a plan. My recovery will absolutely suck, but I will wear a smile the whole time. I thank god for all the great men/women I served with and I wish some of them were still walking this earth because I know they would be here for me. I will never understand why the larger than life people who have meant the most to me have all left this earth... maybe they were just pathfinders who wanted to remind us that we have so much.
Lost my mum in October 2019 and watched my siblings attack each other. I distanced myself and avoided them. Both my parents are now gone and this world feels like a place I no longer know.
I lost my Dad to heart disease when I was 10. It took many years to see the good. When I did it was liberating. I live every day with appreciate of what he's done and the lessons I had learned with that loss are priceless. "Live everyday with purpose and passion" well said Jocko
I lost my Uncle last Saturday. I refuse to shed tears. He wouldn’t want me too. I was blessed to have what time I did with him. So I’m remembering the good times. The love. The silly crap. The bad stuff he taught my kids. The wisdom he shared. Life is sexually transmitted, and always terminal. We all have an expiration date. Build something that lasts on beyond you. Put words to the love you have for those close to you. Drink a brew. Smoke a fatty. But remember them at their best. That’s what they would want.
I lost my younger brother in a car accident back in october 2019. Ever since I have been thinking a lot about life. And I am proud to say that I've came to the exact same conclusion as Jocko. It is very sad to lose someone you would give your life for. But there still is a life to live, and we can not let ourselves be drowned with tears for what is left of it. Remember them, keep them in your heart, but carry on with your chin up high. That is what I think they would like us to do. Stay strong everyone!
In my experience, having my mum pass away from Cancer in June 2019, the good thing about losing your favourite person, is that nothing can hurt me anymore.
This came at the right time for me. My best friend of 22 yrs died two weeks ago.... died suddenly, leaving behind a wife and four kids. He was 41 yrs old. Your podcast is on point, and I appreciate your insights.
Had to put down my dog a month ago. First time experiencing loss after being old enough to understand it. The more days go by, the more I realize how true the statements in this video are! Thanks, Jocko
My dogs being put down in a few days. Utterly devastating for me but have to look at how happy she was for her whole life and just be glad I had her as long as I did.
@@jeremysmith5670 Sorry to hear it. Took me a good 6 months or so before I wasn't shedding tears here and there anymore. Over time you do forget the negative things and start focus on the good times - you'll get there.
Anyone who had a close bond with their pet knows that their passing leaves a deep, painful wound just like a beloved family member's death does. I sincerly hope you're in a better place now.
My cat does 4 hours ago. She was my best friend. I would talk to her to help me overcome anything that came over me. Sadness, anger, confusion. Literally anything. She was always there. I've lost people before and I have lost dogs before, but this is different. I've never felt this empty after a loss. I don't know what to do.
Back in July 2019 I was listening to pod cast 157 about 1hour and 30 minutes in where Jocko was talking about picking up the pieces after losing a child! I really listened to that piece intently and then listened to it again, for some reason I really pondered those words! Then 2 weeks later our 30 year old son was killed on his motorcycle when some one made a left turn in front of him. Our son Josh left behind 2 beautiful boys and a wife (Fiancé)! He also had 3 siblings that was all very close! His death has hit us all so hard! His mom and I started grief counseling thru Grief Share! I think what’s helped us to move forward is our Faith and we try and concentrate on all the good times and memories! It still doesn’t take away our pain but it’s sweet to look back and know the love we all had for each other and the valuable times we got to spend with each other before Josh’s death! I could probably write a book on all the things that God allowed our family to do together right before his death, and how God has worked in our lives since his death! Thanks for the words of wisdom Jocko!
Lost my father 14 hours ago. Glad I found this video. I’m 23 and in the process of getting my high school education then I wanna go to the military. Hope everyone has a great day.
I lost my mom to cancer last week. I’ve been dealing with a roller coaster of emotions. I’m not gonna lie! It’s been rough! Some days have been better than others but I’m going to get through this. She would want me to go forward with my life. She would want me get back in the fight. That’s what I’m going to do.
Jesus loves you more than anything and He said in His Word, the Bible, that He has a peace to give that the world cannot offer. I would love to share my best friend's story with you and pray that you will find true hope and comfort that only God can give. 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) ********************************************************* If you need more help or if you would like to send a word of encouragement to the family, please go to: facebook.com/GITM-Foundation-113997824650357/ If you don't have a church to attend, we would love for you to join us in person @ Liberty Faith Bible Church in Norwood, Mo. every Sunday morning central time 11:00 A.M., Sunday evening 7:00 P.M., and Wednesday evening 7:00.

I honor those I knew and loved who have passed on by integrating aspects of them I loved, into myself. It's my way of keeping some of their amazingness alive in this world. I hope this helps others cope like it has for me, plus it makes this often miserable world a little better and beautiful.
You are a great man Jacko. Thank you for your wisdom your out here saveing lives and dont know just how much. Thanks again for helping me become the man i know i can be
Well said by Jocko. We always need to remember how people lived, because if we miss them or mourn their loss, it means they had a significant and important impact during their life
I lost my Brother 27 yrs old 5 months ago ... & I am 18 & have a younger Sister. Now also i am not OK..... I miss his presence So much... He was my Everything... I lost him due to Covid 19 ... He was such a caring, helping, loving Energetic brother.... He always had a smile on his face.... My brother was the one who talked non-stop to everyone .... I cant accept his LOSS... 😥
I lost my Dad at 23 and it crushed me. I’m still dealing with some minor depression, but I feel like that’s when I became a man. Or at least realized what he taught me. My family wasnt great. But in a way I learned from their mistakes and once I was really on my own, that was when I realized how resourceful I was/am. It made me stronger mentally and emotionally. At that moment I realized it was time to get my shit together. I still feel sad, but now when I think about him, I realize he was just a guy doing his best. He could have gone about things in a better way at points, but I still ended up understanding that he wanted me to be the best that I could and to not follow on his footsteps. At least in the sense of make smarter choices and work hard while I’m young so that I don’t struggle when I’m older. He used to kick me out with all of my stuff in trash bags if I even talked to him out of tone. He’s let me back home for a few months and if I fucked up, I was out on my ass again no matter the weather. I hated him for it when I was younger, but as an adult, I know think that maybe if he didnt do that to show me how rough and unfair the real world is I would probably be a lazy homeless bum by now. He threw me a number of ass kickings. I’m not trying to make him sound like a bad guy and I’m not making excuses, but his upbringing was pretty brutal too and he was just doing what he considered tough love. But yeah, from ages 13-20 he really put me through the ringer. I’m not scared of much now though. I know if I ever for some reason end up homeless again, well, it wouldn’t be the the first time. Maybe like the 18th? But I know how to handle that situation. I learned to to talk to people and treat them with respect and that some people will NOT tolerate an asshole and to expect the consequences of that if you push it too far with them. I learned how to manage money. Honestly, just how to be self sufficient and resourceful. I know I dont know everything, I’m still young and have a lot to learn, and sure, I could probably be a little less “immature” than I am, but I have a very solid foundation to build up from. I try to educate myself every as much as I can when I’m not working or running errands. I honestly dont know if he even actually taught me that or if it was developed through having to persevere through the constant curveballs he threw at me since I had to learn to rapidly adapt to new situations as they came. Either way, what he did led to who and where I am now and it worked out for the best. A lot of people say he sounds cruel, but it’s not like there weren’t times we didn’t get along. As he saw me change as a man he stopped all of that his last few years and we were actually the closest of friends. He also mellowed out a lot with age and due to his body breaking down from working non stop and dealing with past injuries that really started to take their toll on him. One thing he did say to me when I was about 15 is “You think I’m an asshole now, kid, but one day when you’re older and I’m gone, you’re gonna look in the mirror and thank me.” And fucking hell was he right haha That may be my only regret in life. Not thanking him before he died. If I could bring him back, I would in an instant, but at I times I think him dying (my grandmother also died 2 months later, who was like a second mother to me so let’s count this too) was the kick in the ass that I needed to wake up and stop skating by. It may have also been the first and only time that I was truly scared and unsure of anything. It flipped my world upside down. With all of that said, as much as it ended up showing me what I did know, it very much made me understand just how much I didnt know and I needed to change that. Truth be told, at only 26, I feel like I’ve lived 3 life times. I’m ready to buy a house on at least 10 acres close to or in the woods, start homesteading, working up to owning a few more houses and renting them out, maybe have some chickens and definitely a vegetable garden. I want work hard for hopefully only another decade or so to get a good chunk of that accomplished. It’ll take a while longer to reach the end goal. Part of it is for me, but my fiancée wants to have kids in a few years and I want to leave them something and give them a better foundation to start with than I had, or if I pass early for some reason, my (probably at that point) wife wont have nothing and nowhere to go. Basically I want to set them up but still teach them responsibility, humility, respect and honesty. Im going to end this here, ive been rambling for too long haha
Jesus loves you more than you could ever know. He understands what you are going through and He does care and would love to give you a peace that this world can never give you. He wants to heal your heart and mind if you would only turn to Him. There is life after death and the most important decision you will ever make is where you will spend eternity, but there are only 2 places you can spend eternity, heaven or hell. The Bible says that you can know that you have eternal life in heaven, but If you are putting your trust in anything other than the finished work of Jesus on the cross to get you to heaven, you do not understand God's way. Please let me share with you how you can be 100% sure you are heading in the right direction. The Bible says that we are all sinners. When God created Adam and Eve, He made them perfect without sin, but they chose to disobey God and became sinful in nature. This sin nature was passed down to all humanity. Romans 5:12 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: Your sin separates you from God. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; A holy, righteous God cannot allow sin into heaven. Sin must be paid for and God's price for sin is death, but not just a physical death, but a spiritual death which means separation from God forever in a lake of fire in hell. Revelation 21:8 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. In the Old Testament when man sinned, God required the sacrifice of a perfectly spotless lamb as a substitute to pay for the sins of each person. The blood of that lamb was only a temporary payment for their sin and so this had to be done often. Jesus Christ, God's Son took on flesh, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and offered Himself as that perfect, spotless Lamb and shed His blood as payment for the sins of the whole world. John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Jesus loved you so much He WILLINGLY came and allowed wicked men to spit on Him, mock Him and scourge Him until He was unrecognizable as a man. They stripped him naked, thrust a crown of thorns on His head and nailed His hands and feet to a cross. He hung in agony for hours bleeding, thirsting, struggling for every breath. He died innocently in your place so that you could be saved from going to hell. It was His blood that satisfied the just demands of a holy God. God will not accept anything else. There is no greater love than that! John 3:16 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. The good news is that Jesus didn't stay dead in the grave. He came back to life 3 days later just like He promised and He still lives today! Matthew 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Friend, Jesus did all this because He wants to give you the FREE gift of eternal life in heaven with Him! You cannot do anything to earn your own way into heaven. You can't work for it, be baptized for it, go to church for it or try to be good enough for it. You must stop believing that you can get there on your own merit. It is a FREE gift that God is offering to you if you will simply receive it by faith. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9. Not of works, lest any man should boast. God said there is only one way to get to heaven, but it is not hard. You must admit you are a sinner headed for hell and you can't save yourself. You must believe that Jesus died and paid for your sin with His own blood on the cross, then He was buried and 3 days later rose from the dead. Then you must repent and turn to God and call on Him for mercy to save you from hell and give you eternal life in heaven with Him. Romans 10:9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. None of us deserve God's mercy and grace, but let me warn you friend, don't be deceived because if you reject His FREE gift, you are already condemned and when you die, you will suffer the torment of burning in hell for eternity in a lake of fire where you will be forever separated from God and all that is loving and good. John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Please don't wait! Don't take the risk of putting it off until another day, repent, turn to Christ NOW wherever you are at because you aren't guaranteed to live another day on this Earth.

Idk why this is suggested right now. My best friend died on November 10th, 2019. He wasn’t a saint he wasn’t super man. But he was my best friend. Jocko speaks to all of us, not even about death, but I need to remember his life not that he isn’t here. Thanks everyone I hope you all get after it.
Jocko, thank you so much. My big brother overdosed last June. The day after Father's Day. He had three kids. One of which, is paraplegic and blind. I help take care of them but I have four kids myself. I have seemed to drink a little more but talk a little less. The only emotion I show is anger now. I miss him a lot. Him and I are the only kids from my mom and dad. Anyways, this video is confirming what my wife has been telling me for months now. Just don't know if I'm ready to let go. Thanks
Thank you for those words Mr. Willink. It rings especially true as I lost my grandmother last year and even today I still grieve for her. Thank you for this. It's meaningful.
Sure seems right...only the best die young...lost my wonderful son at age 37 a few months after he attended one of Jocko’s boot camps in California. He admired Jocko and loved your podcasts. Thank you Jocko.
I love it when these just pop up when I'm going through the same situation I just lost a brother-in-law but he was more than that he was my friend when I was a little kid when I lived in that little House of Horrors he took me to my first Bruce Lee movie and many many more movies camping fishing Disney World seven times he accepted God it his passing I never saw that coming then he told me he loved me and I was his favorite nephew I never heard him say he loved anyone to their face he wasn't out so kind he was one tough son of a gun he rode that Pony as far as it would go in great suffering he was also a veteran good night David Bishop May Angels carry thee to thy rest🕊🇺🇸🌄 I'm handling it by staying busy reading cleaning my house
Thanks for talking about this topic guys. I lost my best friend to cancer last year and it was the biggest reality check I’ve ever had to face. It really is a test of character / strength and being there for the family in the hard times. Thanks again guys
One of my best friends passed away randomly a couple of days ago. It crushed me but I had to look back and I saw that he was the happiest he had been his whole life, he was surrounded be his friends and family, and was sober for 3 years after battling with addiction since a young age. He was a bright light in every room he peaked his head in and tried to make everyone’s life easier any way he saw possible. He will forever be a part of who I am and he’ll always by my side. Rest In Peace Nathan, Love you buddy.
So hard bro, i survived her suicide, almost 3 Years have passed, and sometimes i struggle to stay on the path, just know that you are not alone, honor and love her by being your best and being humble, i send you an honest hug from the bottom of my heart brother, just one day at a time
ahhh my 11 yr old daughter was killed less than 18 mths ago...all I can say is it was medical. it was avoidable and I had no idea what I would stumble upon.....and all is not as it seems here in New Zealand...thank you Jocko and Echo...I keep my shit together mostly and now I must hunker down for the long game after showing my hand as I thought being open was good. Not when you deal with the Govt...some days I don't know who to trust...at the moment I can only trust myself...I am the only team member left...
Jocko, thank you. I needed this. Today was my first birthday since my father's passing and it's very different to not get that phone call of him goofily singing happy birthday to me. Thanks for helping me get a handle on it today and giving me a new perspective.
This video is something I keep going back to when I lose someone lost, 3 friends to death and this lightens up the dwelling that death can be effect on the mind.
I had to put my dog down 4 years ago when I was 16 it was the hardest thing for me, 2 years later I bought a new pup and spent every waking moment with him and he sadly passed away last weekend from lyme disease at only 1.5 years old didnt even know what going to happen till it was too late and he had a heart attack in my arms. Ever word Jocko speaks rings true you need to honor every moment you have with he ones you love.
3 year ago i lost my grandma (we live in the same big house) 2 years ago i lost my father, one year ago i lost grandpa. Yeasterday i lost my dog which was my best friends when i need it. Its hard every time but you need to keep moving forward.
I NEEDED YOUR input on this. I NEEDED someone I respect that has been through the brambles to bring me back. I felt like you were talking directly to me. Thank you
I just found out one of my best friends died of a probably OD today.. I knew you would have something to say to help. Thank you Jocko. You touch people deeper than you realize.
I lost my wife on April 25 2020. It's the hardest pain I've ever felt. Being thankful for what I had is something I haven't thought until you said that. I will live for her. Great fucking words!
Just lost my little brother to a motorcycle accident at 31 yo and I was looking through jockos stuff to find something to help with this pain. Hope it gives me the wisdom to see the good things and learn
@@brandon2498 I think the idea behind it is that the bandaid was ripped off quickly and all at once, better the separation than a prolonged exposure to toxic relationships.
I lost my mom 3 weeks ago. I'm only 20 and it was killing me but I'm starting to feel a lot better.
Dying isn't a bad thing, you know this if your spiritually woke, your mom left this chaos that's run by Freemason shills, your mom is lucky to leave this hell hole
You can connect with her spirit anytime you want
All we are is a glob of meat, are souls are immortal
Keep on moving forward bro! Bad times will pass you´re only getting stronger!
I know your pain bro, just take each day as it comes and make sure you take care of your body. Eat well, exercise. Rest well. God bless you
I lost my wife of 32 years recently. Every word you said rang true with me. I use the love I have for her to live better and be a better human being. Thank you for that. Aloha. Chuck
Bless your heart, and an inspiration that you walked this earth together 32 years! Peace!
That is an amazing way to look at it. I wish you the very best sir.
Stay strong sir! She is looking over you everyday. Bless you and your family, you are in my thoughts.
Hi Charles. Just wanted to let you know I’m thinking of ya mate ❤️🙏🏻
Anthony Newman I would prefer you send money and cookies but thanks. Aloha. C

If only Patton were here so that I could argue semantics with him about that quote
But it is okay to grieve for a time when we need to.
This is deep. My brother died at 31. Needed a pacemaker and those bastards said he’d be fine and sent him home. He died 3 days later and it destroyed me. 18 months later my dad died. Then last year was my mom. It all sucks but every single damn word you just said was right on the money. Thanks jocko. And it is the best people that go first
Bless your heart, Jesse! May you have the best life ever!!!!✊✊✊♥️
That's tough man. I hope you are getting love and loved. You are very strong and I hope you heal CZcams friend.
Man that's tough. May they forever rest in peace.
So true! The best go first ❤️. I’m sorry for your losses - that’s a lot of loss close together. Be good to yourself.
Bro, you have my condolences. Lost my mum in October 2019 and watched my siblings attack each other. I distanced myself and avoided them. Both my parents are gone and this world feels like a place I no longer know.
I just lost my father. He was my world. My Motivation! My Hero! My best friend! My safety blanket! Now! Now I'll be strong for you Dad! I love you! And we all miss you!
So sorry to hear that. Wishing you strength . Take care .
After the death of my dad (Suicide) in 2017 the things that saved me were and are: Working out (in the beginning running was the best stress relief) writing (daily) and working. You can’t sit at home and do nothing. *edit* I’d add praying to that too. God will carry you through
That’s so positive mate. I feel for you. I wish you all the best always in life my friend ❤️🙏🏻
Well said and so sorry about your dad. ❤
“Rejoice for those who pass onto the next life. Attachment is the shadow of greed, train yourself to release what you fear to lose. Let go of fear, and loss cannot harm you.”
I’m sorry for your loss friend. I keep this in mind but it still doesn’t make it easy. It’s nice to meet someone of similar interest though. How big into the Jedi thing are you?
Currently dealing with a lot of loss in my life rn. This podcast has been so uplifting for me. Thank you sir. Thank you.
@@sheriffwasted6426 not really into it .. just. Name because I see a Jedi as someone who goes above and beyond
The love of my life was murdered recently. I'm still in denial & haven't accepted it yet. I'm going to save this video to my playlist and watch it again. Jocko has always inspired me with other issues, struggles, etc - I really hope I can get through this.
💔 RIP Tara Lynn
That’s heavy bro. I wish you peace in these trying times.
Thank you for these words Jocko, this really hits home to me. My little sister passed away almost 2 years ago now, still to this day I struggle with it on a daily basis. I am 23 years old and she was my best friend, I tried to use your "good" speech when it happened and It hurt me a lot, it was hard to think that there could be any good to come from her death. I still would not say there's anything "good". But you definitely opened my eyes up to it a bit more. I am absolutely honoured to have spent the time I did with her, she's really changed a lot of peoples outlook on life. For her I try to smile extra each day, be kinder to humans and try to love and accept everyone, because that's what she did during her time here. Again, thank you so much Jocko, I have been a follower of yours for 3 years now and your words never fail to motivate me sir. I really needed this. Time to get after it now!!
Colton sorry to hear that friend. Take care.
@Kevin Castellanos Thank you Kevin for your kind words. I definitely agree with you, tragedy should be dealt with gently. I am new to grief, all my life my family has been fortunate in regards to death, we have lost some family members but nothing like this. So when this happened it shocked everyone for obvious reasons. I try to live for her everyday, I went down a wrong path shortly after her death but straightened myself out quickly and realized I was being very selfish. Like you say it's about having the motive to live for the fallen, I totally relate to that. Again, thank you! I appreciate the words a lot.
@@dream1way Thank you very much. Appreciate it lots.
As someone who also has a little sister, I can’t imagine how you are feeling but she would be proud to know that because of her you smile everyday. Take care
Sorry for your loss. We will all face that grief eventually, and you will be able to comfort others that go through that hell, since you have walked that path already, and honored your sisters life by doing it the right way. You have my deepest respect soldier. Stay the course Brother
Lost my dad yesterday. I’m 22, just graduated college, and now it’s just me my mom and brother left. I’m extremely broken but know that I need to move on. Probably won’t see this but I appreciate these words Jocko, a true hero to all
You do not need to move in. You only need to move forward WITH this.
No moving on, just learning to carry and integrate it into your “new” life.
Crazy this video comes out on my mother's birthday. She passed away 4 years ago.
Thank you Jocko!
MB Edits Treasure your precious memories of her for they are priceless, she lives in you
Hear me out. My son felt the loss of his first pet...a small fish. This fish entered his life when we were locked in our house for 8 months as he sat at a lonely desk by himself doing Zoom school every day. Staring at this small fish gave him ease and welcomed distraction. Point is, to my surprise, he's cried uncontrollably for several days at the loss of this fish. My first reaction was to dismiss it and not expect it to be a big deal. This was a huge loss for him. I could have missed the opportunity to share this video with him. Instead, after watching this, we had many long talks about life and death in a much deeper way by me respecting his pain. I know he will take this lesson when he loses people in the future. Thank you.
Lost Mom in 14...a part of you is gone when Moms gone
Keep on going bro.
@@jimgritty7064 all we can do...keep rolling
I hear you on that. It's like eating food with no salt and no flavor.
Lost my mom 2 years ago....its tuff. I break down at times. But i still feel her and talk to her! Its getting a little better. I keep going not just for her but for my self and my family. That's all we can ever do. Keep going!!!
@@ShepSheppard24 losing mom is a different deal, a whole new realm, different kind of bond with your mother, many condolences while you grieve
Reading through these comments and see a lot of young people (14, 17, 20, 21, 23) who have lost their mothers fathers or sisters... My sister and I almost lost my mother last month a couple days after my 23rd birthday and we are fortunate enough to have come together to support her through weeks at the hospital. Moms a lot better but her life won't be the same. I pray to the higher power with gratitude that she's still strong and not suffering. Let us worry not. Thanks Jocko and thanks fellow CZcamsrs. I am sorry for the loss you've all had to endure. Stay strong.
Saw this video recently. Think it was about a man who’d lost his child, the waves of pain and rowing the boat. My mother died in MICU on Nov/24/2022, 6:23 thereabouts. And we’ve arranged her funeral. It has been the first loss of a close loved one for me, and the greatest blow ever struck. She suffered, endured with fortitude, and passed by comfort care, she fought cancer for 4 years and spent the last month of it in the hospital. We’re planning celebration of our life, even now, and I concur with this video and thank you for the last, as it gave some comfort in understanding.
Her salvation was assured, of that I’m certain and I admit with some shame I didn’t care too much that God could see all of me or my ancestors, but my Mother? This is a different story. I am resolved to row the boat as it were and make my life her legacy and make it a fine one.
My sincerest condolences to all those here who have lost a loved one and to those who’ve suffered further, and for whom the whole world is now terra-incognita, hold fast, reel in your loved ones, and embrace the life that has been given and will be taken away.
One of the best men I have ever met died in May of 2022. I was overseas when it happened, and have not been able to properly grieve or mourn his passing. Of our group of guys he was the best one amongst us. RIP brother. I love and miss you everyday.
RIP Seth Michael Plant
A fucking bear, what a way to go.
First time you get over the loss you think it will be alright
But then you lose again and again
You need the strength to overcome every loss
Last september i lost my aunt to cancer and the only thing she wanted to do before she passed away was to see her youngest of 3 graduate high school. All she wanted was 2 years to see him graduate. All of this hits so closely to me. I miss her every day and even typing this right now I am crying. One of the things she wanted to see was see me play tennis. She never got to. I'm 16 and now I have dedicated this season to her because I know that she may not be watching physically, but she is watching me up above. Whether I win or lose I may cry after every match that I play out of happiness because I know she'll be proud of me no matter the outcome.
I lost my Mom a week ago to liver cancer and spent the last week of her life by her side... this video right here. May you be blessed for making it.... I thank you....
Ive felt a deep anger bubbling under the surface for some time now after dealing with close loss for the first time. I needed this thank you
Lost my mom this past thanksgiving. Missed a call from her that day and won’t ever forgive myself for not being there to answer. Still break down every time I think about it. She was only 46, tried to get her to take better care of herself but addiction got the best of her. We had a rocky relationship but I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t give anything to talk to her again. Best wishes to anyone coping with the death of a loved one.
My dad died 2 months ago. Still dealing with it, but Jocko just put into words what his death made me realize. Life is precious. Life is short. Live it. Side note, it also was the final push to start Jiu-Jitsu. Oos
I lost my mom 2 days ago my everything… life is very confusing right now but i know going forward is all I have jockos words have been my exact thoughts life happens I just want to make her proud and live the best life I can for her… and I’ll see her again
So sorry to hear that. Stay strong . Take care
@@jagsfan0864 your kindness means a lot thank you.. 🙏🏼
Nothing ever lasts for ever, and that’s how it’s gonna stay.
Exactly.
People are so wrapped up in their materialistic lives never stop to think about the things that actually matter, like spending time with people before they die because they are going to die.
The hurt of the loss is like no other kind of hurt. But the pain is love. The love persists and crosses the barrier between life and death; the pain of separation from our loved one will always be there, I think. That's just how it is.
Nailed it. I lost my best friend in 2014 and it still hurts.. but knowing I was lucky enough to know such a great person with such a great personality and sense of humour is so comforting. Lucas had all the potential in the world, but shit just happens… Miss you to death big dawg… see you when I see you.
I lost my dad yesterday from heart failure. I didn’t expect to wake up that day and lose a loved one. I saw him 2 hours before he collapsed and got sent to the ER he was fine you would have never knew. I love you dad, thank you.
I’m 2 weeks out from donating my kidney to my stepson... god has a plan. My recovery will absolutely suck, but I will wear a smile the whole time. I thank god for all the great men/women I served with and I wish some of them were still walking this earth because I know they would be here for me. I will never understand why the larger than life people who have meant the most to me have all left this earth... maybe they were just pathfinders who wanted to remind us that we have so much.
sean peterson good luck! wishing for a quick and pain free recovery 👍💯
Chifftie thank you very much
Man Fruk thank you, I feel very fortunate to be in this situation. My stepson has been fighting renal disease since I married his mom 11 years ago
God be with you Brotha.
sean peterson ofc thank you for your service
Lost my mum in October 2019 and watched my siblings attack each other. I distanced myself and avoided them. Both my parents are now gone and this world feels like a place I no longer know.
I lost my Dad to heart disease when I was 10. It took many years to see the good. When I did it was liberating. I live every day with appreciate of what he's done and the lessons I had learned with that loss are priceless.
"Live everyday with purpose and passion" well said Jocko
Thank you Jocko for your content , growing up without a father your content has helped me become a better man .
.i lost dad.2 months ago.still devastated . your words are uplifting and you.have assured me im not alone in my pain.
My Dad died this week and that's the most powerful thing I've ever heard
I lost my Uncle last Saturday. I refuse to shed tears. He wouldn’t want me too. I was blessed to have what time I did with him. So I’m remembering the good times. The love. The silly crap. The bad stuff he taught my kids. The wisdom he shared. Life is sexually transmitted, and always terminal. We all have an expiration date. Build something that lasts on beyond you. Put words to the love you have for those close to you. Drink a brew. Smoke a fatty. But remember them at their best. That’s what they would want.
I teared up from this speech. It hits so close to home.
I lost my younger brother in a car accident back in october 2019. Ever since I have been thinking a lot about life. And I am proud to say that I've came to the exact same conclusion as Jocko. It is very sad to lose someone you would give your life for. But there still is a life to live, and we can not let ourselves be drowned with tears for what is left of it. Remember them, keep them in your heart, but carry on with your chin up high. That is what I think they would like us to do. Stay strong everyone!
Jesus knows what you are going through and if you turn to Him, He will give you a peace and comfort like nothing in this world. I pray this story will help you find that true peace.
Tribute to Ethan by Brett Glidden:
It’s been one year, though it seems just like yesterday. I’ll never forget what happened. Ethan, Tobias, and I were sitting on the side of a bluff by the trail, waiting for the others to get back out of the cave. I suggested we climb up to the top. The three of us began to climb, and Ethan said, “First one to the top wins.” I had no idea those would be the last words I’d ever hear him say.
Tobias and Ethan quickly reached the top. I’m not much of a climber, and with slippery leaves covering the slope, I took my time as I slowly ascended. I was about two-thirds of the way up when I heard Tobias exclaim about lots of poison ivy. Not wanting to get into that, I decided I had climbed high enough and began to carefully make my way down.
It was then that I heard it: the sound of something sliding down the leaves at great speed. I froze when I looked up and saw Ethan slipping down the slope in a sitting position. I had no idea how it happened; all I knew was that he was going to pass by within just a few feet of me. Immediately, I knew what Ethan was heading towards. There was a steep drop to the path, then another bluff below it.
During those few seconds, millions of thoughts flew through my mind, but every one of them ended in disaster. I was in a precarious position myself, with nothing around to grab ahold of. Ethan was as large as I was, and at the speed he was sliding, I didn’t see how I could grab him while keeping my balance and not being pulled down myself. Yet, I couldn’t just do nothing. I had no idea what to do.
As he slid past me, I simply reached out, not knowing what else to do. I couldn’t quite get ahold of his jacket. I expected him to try to grip my arms, but instead he simply pushed by. At that point, all I could do was watch as he fell.
I don’t even remember how I got back down to the path, but somehow I did. As I saw others going to help him, I decided it would be best for me to simply head back to the entrance of the hike and see if I could get more help. I was in deep shock and knew if I tried to climb down to help, I would simply be a hindrance.
Medics were called and arrived on the scene. Many of Ethan’s friends had gone to help, but I stayed at the picnic tables, not wanting to even think about what happened. I simply prayed with tears in my eyes.
An hour went by, then another. Finally, we heard that they had Ethan on a stretcher and were trying to get him up the bluff. One of the ladies suggested that each of us guys pray. I remember telling God that He knew where every single one of Ethan’s wounds were, and asking that He’d heal them all. It was around that time that Ethan passed away. God answered my prayer; not in the way that I wanted or expected, but in the way that was in His will.
What I experienced and went through next mentally and spiritually, I have described in my writing, “Will Your Faith Stand.” It has been a difficult journey since then, but one that God has used to grow me stronger in Him. Not only did I lose my friend, but I was there and saw it happen. There are times in which I start feeling partly responsible. What if I hadn’t suggested we climb the bluff? What if I tried harder to grab him as he slid past me? What if? What if? But as I think about that day, I think about all the events leading up to that moment. There were countless times where if something had happened slightly differently, we most likely wouldn’t have climbed that bluff. But the fact is that it did happen that way, and we did climb, and he did fall. God has given me peace that whatever might have happened differently, the end result would’ve been the same. It was God’s time for Ethan to go to heaven, though we may not understand it. Nothing could change that.
Ethan was the closest friend on this earth I ever had, even though he was several years younger than I. When my family moved to Missouri back in 2017, I was a shy and partly reclusive teenager who hid himself in a box of fear. I didn’t like that box at all; I wanted to be friendly and have friends, though I didn’t know how to get out. But a couple weeks after we started attending Liberty Faith Church, Ethan introduced himself and we soon became great friends.
Without his help, I think I’d still be in that box to this day. I can remember a few occasions where he practically forced me to get involved with the other teens at the church. Our friendship grew, and we became big parts of each others’ lives. We were both in the choir. I began running the sound booth at church, and a couple of years later, he started as well. My dad hired him on as a worker for our family business. There was even a film project that we were both a part of. God intertwined our lives together, and I’m very thankful for it.
I have great memories of joking around, competing with Rubik’s cubes (I still can’t beat his record), taking hikes, playing volleyball, singing, and more. We had many good times together, and I hope I never forget them. Ethan was a wonderful young man who loved the Lord. He was always involved in the church. He would upload the sermons and choir specials to youtube to help spread the truth. I’m thankful God gave me such a good friend.
Why did I write all of this? I felt it was time to share my experience that day. Perhaps it will help someone in some way. Through it all, God used it to strengthen and purify my faith. I am very thankful for the few years God gave me with Ethan, but our friendship isn’t over.
What do I mean? Well, I know Ethan is in heaven, and someday I’ll join him there. How do I know he’s in heaven? Well, it’s not because of how good he was. The Bible states that all our righteousness is as filthy rags. Ethan was a great young man, but even he had faults and sin, just like the rest of us. God is a loving God, but also holy and just. He cannot allow sin into heaven, and because of that, each and every one of us are doomed to hell.
But then how is Ethan in heaven? As I said, God is a loving God, and loves us more than we can comprehend. He cannot allow our sin into heaven, yet He has no joy in the death of the wicked. The Bible teaches that sin requires an innocent sacrifice to pay for it. No amount of our good deeds can pay for even one sin. So, He made the ultimate sacrifice for us. He sent His Son, Jesus, to earth in the form of man. He lived a sinless life, the only life worthy of heaven. Yet the world despised Him, and crucified Him on the cross. When that happened, He took all the sins of the world and sacrificed Himself for us, dying on that cross. But on the third day, He conquered even death, rising from the grave so that all may have eternal life!
So why is Ethan in heaven? Because before he died, he accepted Christ as his Savior. By doing so, Christ’s innocent blood was imputed to Ethan, paying for all his sins. When he died, God did not see Ethan’s sins, but rather His beloved Son’s payment. Because of that, Ethan is now spending eternity in the presence of God.
What about you? Think about it. God has a love so strong for us, that He sent His only Son to die. Would you send your child to die for someone else? Yet, God did so that we all may have a chance at eternal life. If you think your own works will save you, you are spitting at the sacrifice of Jesus. God will not tolerate that. The Bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9:
"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."
Repent, admit that you’re a sinner , accept Christ as your Savior, and He will save you.
Don’t put it off. You have no idea how long you have on this earth. Ethan only had 16 years. What if he decided to wait until he was older, thinking he had plenty of time? For those who are younger, what if you only have 16 years, or maybe less? For those who are older, God has already blessed you with a longer life than He gave Ethan. You have no idea how short the remainder of your life is. When I left for that hike with my friends, I had no idea we’d be returning without one of them. When we sang “Amazing Grace” in the cave, I had no idea that that would be the last time I’d ever sing with Ethan again. I had no idea that at the time we were planning to have lunch, we would instead be crying and praying. Life is short, and death is sudden. Ethan was ready to go, and so am I. Are you? It doesn’t matter where you are or what you are doing; God is willing to accept you into His family. Call to Him now, confess your sin to Him, and accept Christ into your heart as your Savior before it’s eternally too late.

I just lost my son and this hit me harder than anything anyone has told me. Glad I listened and can share with my family .
In my experience, having my mum pass away from Cancer in June 2019, the good thing about losing your favourite person, is that nothing can hurt me anymore.
Just lost my mom yesterday, jocko these words will be playing in my ears for years. Thank you sir.
Needed this thanks Jocko.
This came at the right time for me. My best friend of 22 yrs died two weeks ago.... died suddenly, leaving behind a wife and four kids. He was 41 yrs old. Your podcast is on point, and I appreciate your insights.
To live.
Mom passed at 5 just before fall of Berlin wall. Am 36 now. Discipline is freedom, indeed. Thanks Jocko
Had to put down my dog a month ago. First time experiencing loss after being old enough to understand it. The more days go by, the more I realize how true the statements in this video are! Thanks, Jocko
I feel your pain
My dogs being put down in a few days. Utterly devastating for me but have to look at how happy she was for her whole life and just be glad I had her as long as I did.
@@jeremysmith5670 Sorry to hear it. Took me a good 6 months or so before I wasn't shedding tears here and there anymore. Over time you do forget the negative things and start focus on the good times - you'll get there.
Anyone who had a close bond with their pet knows that their passing leaves a deep, painful wound just like a beloved family member's death does. I sincerly hope you're in a better place now.
My cat does 4 hours ago. She was my best friend. I would talk to her to help me overcome anything that came over me. Sadness, anger, confusion. Literally anything. She was always there. I've lost people before and I have lost dogs before, but this is different. I've never felt this empty after a loss. I don't know what to do.
Needed to hear this. My mother passed away about 10 months ago. I still think of her everyday
So sorry to hear that . Wishing you strength . Take care
@@jagsfan0864 thank you 💜
Back in July 2019 I was listening to pod cast 157 about 1hour and 30 minutes in where Jocko was talking about picking up the pieces after losing a child! I really listened to that piece intently and then listened to it again, for some reason I really pondered those words! Then 2 weeks later our 30 year old son was killed on his motorcycle when some one made a left turn in front of him. Our son Josh left behind 2 beautiful boys and a wife (Fiancé)! He also had 3 siblings that was all very close! His death has hit us all so hard! His mom and I started grief counseling thru Grief Share! I think what’s helped us to move forward is our Faith and we try and concentrate on all the good times and memories! It still doesn’t take away our pain but it’s sweet to look back and know the love we all had for each other and the valuable times we got to spend with each other before Josh’s death!
I could probably write a book on all the things that God allowed our family to do together right before his death, and how God has worked in our lives since his death!
Thanks for the words of wisdom Jocko!
Lost my father 14 hours ago. Glad I found this video. I’m 23 and in the process of getting my high school education then I wanna go to the military. Hope everyone has a great day.
Keep going brother!
I lost my mom to cancer last week. I’ve been dealing with a roller coaster of emotions. I’m not gonna lie! It’s been rough! Some days have been better than others but I’m going to get through this. She would want me to go forward with my life. She would want me get back in the fight. That’s what I’m going to do.
Jesus loves you more than anything and He said in His Word, the Bible, that He has a peace to give that the world cannot offer. I would love to share my best friend's story with you and pray that you will find true hope and comfort that only God can give.
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)

I honor those I knew and loved who have passed on by integrating aspects of them I loved, into myself. It's my way of keeping some of their amazingness alive in this world. I hope this helps others cope like it has for me, plus it makes this often miserable world a little better and beautiful.
"Death is not a part of life, life is a part of death."
You are a great man Jacko. Thank you for your wisdom your out here saveing lives and dont know just how much. Thanks again for helping me become the man i know i can be
Well said by Jocko. We always need to remember how people lived, because if we miss them or mourn their loss, it means they had a significant and important impact during their life
I’m listening to this as my cousin is 54 dying of cancer, this weekend I have to say goodbye. I’m grateful for your wisdom.
My body hurts with grief and sorrow right now. Thank you Jocko for your words and some guidance. I will be coming back to this a few times.
Thank you Jocko. I can't express how much this is helping me right now.
I lost my Brother 27 yrs old 5 months ago ... & I am 18 & have a younger Sister.
Now also i am not OK..... I miss his presence So much... He was my Everything... I lost him due to Covid 19 ...
He was such a caring, helping, loving Energetic brother.... He always had a smile on his face.... My brother was the one who talked non-stop to everyone .... I cant accept his LOSS... 😥
I lost my Dad at 23 and it crushed me. I’m still dealing with some minor depression, but I feel like that’s when I became a man. Or at least realized what he taught me. My family wasnt great. But in a way I learned from their mistakes and once I was really on my own, that was when I realized how resourceful I was/am. It made me stronger mentally and emotionally. At that moment I realized it was time to get my shit together. I still feel sad, but now when I think about him, I realize he was just a guy doing his best. He could have gone about things in a better way at points, but I still ended up understanding that he wanted me to be the best that I could and to not follow on his footsteps. At least in the sense of make smarter choices and work hard while I’m young so that I don’t struggle when I’m older. He used to kick me out with all of my stuff in trash bags if I even talked to him out of tone. He’s let me back home for a few months and if I fucked up, I was out on my ass again no matter the weather. I hated him for it when I was younger, but as an adult, I know think that maybe if he didnt do that to show me how rough and unfair the real world is I would probably be a lazy homeless bum by now. He threw me a number of ass kickings. I’m not trying to make him sound like a bad guy and I’m not making excuses, but his upbringing was pretty brutal too and he was just doing what he considered tough love. But yeah, from ages 13-20 he really put me through the ringer. I’m not scared of much now though. I know if I ever for some reason end up homeless again, well, it wouldn’t be the the first time. Maybe like the 18th? But I know how to handle that situation. I learned to to talk to people and treat them with respect and that some people will NOT tolerate an asshole and to expect the consequences of that if you push it too far with them. I learned how to manage money. Honestly, just how to be self sufficient and resourceful. I know I dont know everything, I’m still young and have a lot to learn, and sure, I could probably be a little less “immature” than I am, but I have a very solid foundation to build up from. I try to educate myself every as much as I can when I’m not working or running errands. I honestly dont know if he even actually taught me that or if it was developed through having to persevere through the constant curveballs he threw at me since I had to learn to rapidly adapt to new situations as they came. Either way, what he did led to who and where I am now and it worked out for the best. A lot of people say he sounds cruel, but it’s not like there weren’t times we didn’t get along. As he saw me change as a man he stopped all of that his last few years and we were actually the closest of friends. He also mellowed out a lot with age and due to his body breaking down from working non stop and dealing with past injuries that really started to take their toll on him. One thing he did say to me when I was about 15 is “You think I’m an asshole now, kid, but one day when you’re older and I’m gone, you’re gonna look in the mirror and thank me.” And fucking hell was he right haha That may be my only regret in life. Not thanking him before he died. If I could bring him back, I would in an instant, but at I times I think him dying (my grandmother also died 2 months later, who was like a second mother to me so let’s count this too) was the kick in the ass that I needed to wake up and stop skating by. It may have also been the first and only time that I was truly scared and unsure of anything. It flipped my world upside down. With all of that said, as much as it ended up showing me what I did know, it very much made me understand just how much I didnt know and I needed to change that. Truth be told, at only 26, I feel like I’ve lived 3 life times. I’m ready to buy a house on at least 10 acres close to or in the woods, start homesteading, working up to owning a few more houses and renting them out, maybe have some chickens and definitely a vegetable garden. I want work hard for hopefully only another decade or so to get a good chunk of that accomplished. It’ll take a while longer to reach the end goal. Part of it is for me, but my fiancée wants to have kids in a few years and I want to leave them something and give them a better foundation to start with than I had, or if I pass early for some reason, my (probably at that point) wife wont have nothing and nowhere to go. Basically I want to set them up but still teach them responsibility, humility, respect and honesty. Im going to end this here, ive been rambling for too long haha
Jesus loves you more than you could ever know. He understands what you are going through and He does care and would love to give you a peace that this world can never give you. He wants to heal your heart and mind if you would only turn to Him. There is life after death and the most important decision you will ever make is where you will spend eternity, but there are only 2 places you can spend eternity, heaven or hell. The Bible says that you can know that you have eternal life in heaven, but If you are putting your trust in anything other than the finished work of Jesus on the cross to get you to heaven, you do not understand God's way. Please let me share with you how you can be 100% sure you are heading in the right direction.
The Bible says that we are all sinners. When God created Adam and Eve, He made them perfect without sin, but they chose to disobey God and became sinful in nature. This sin nature was passed down to all humanity.
Romans 5:12 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:
Your sin separates you from God.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;
A holy, righteous God cannot allow sin into heaven. Sin must be paid for and God's price for sin is death, but not just a physical death, but a spiritual death which means separation from God forever in a lake of fire in hell.
Revelation 21:8 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.
In the Old Testament when man sinned, God required the sacrifice of a perfectly spotless lamb as a substitute to pay for the sins of each person. The blood of that lamb was only a temporary payment for their sin and so this had to be done often. Jesus Christ, God's Son took on flesh, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and offered Himself as that perfect, spotless Lamb and shed His blood as payment for the sins of the whole world.
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Jesus loved you so much He WILLINGLY came and allowed wicked men to spit on Him, mock Him and scourge Him until He was unrecognizable as a man. They stripped him naked, thrust a crown of thorns on His head and nailed His hands and feet to a cross. He hung in agony for hours bleeding, thirsting, struggling for every breath. He died innocently in your place so that you could be saved from going to hell. It was His blood that satisfied the just demands of a holy God. God will not accept anything else.
There is no greater love than that!
John 3:16 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.
The good news is that Jesus didn't stay dead in the grave. He came back to life 3 days later just like He promised and He still lives today!
Matthew 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Friend, Jesus did all this because He wants to give you the FREE gift of eternal life in heaven with Him!
You cannot do anything to earn your own way into heaven. You can't work for it, be baptized for it, go to church for it or try to be good enough for it. You must stop believing that you can get there on your own merit. It is a FREE gift that God is offering to you if you will simply receive it by faith.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
God said there is only one way to get to heaven, but it is not hard. You must admit you are a sinner headed for hell and you can't save yourself. You must believe that Jesus died and paid for your sin with His own blood on the cross, then He was buried and 3 days later rose from the dead. Then you must repent and turn to God and call on Him for mercy to save you from hell and give you eternal life in heaven with Him.
Romans 10:9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
None of us deserve God's mercy and grace, but let me warn you friend, don't be deceived because if you reject His FREE gift, you are already condemned and when you die, you will suffer the torment of burning in hell for eternity in a lake of fire where you will be forever separated from God and all that is loving and good.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Please don't wait! Don't take the risk of putting it off until another day, repent, turn to Christ NOW wherever you are at because you aren't guaranteed to live another day on this Earth. Believe God's Word, ask Him to save you and He will do it just like He promised. The choice is yours to make.

Lord, have mercy. For all those who have lost a loved one, God bless and console you and yours.
Jocko, you outdid yourself this time. Thank you, I really needed this.
Idk why this is suggested right now. My best friend died on November 10th, 2019. He wasn’t a saint he wasn’t super man. But he was my best friend. Jocko speaks to all of us, not even about death, but I need to remember his life not that he isn’t here. Thanks everyone I hope you all get after it.
This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard
Lost my little brother 28 days ago, he was just 55 years old. Thanks Jocko, for your hard truth and inspiring retort.
This is sooo deep! Thank you my brother
I was just listening to your 128 podcast just now jocko, I love your motivation man, no one tops it
Jocko, thank you so much. My big brother overdosed last June. The day after Father's Day. He had three kids. One of which, is paraplegic and blind. I help take care of them but I have four kids myself. I have seemed to drink a little more but talk a little less. The only emotion I show is anger now. I miss him a lot. Him and I are the only kids from my mom and dad. Anyways, this video is confirming what my wife has been telling me for months now. Just don't know if I'm ready to let go.
Thanks
Thank you for those words Mr. Willink. It rings especially true as I lost my grandmother last year and even today I still grieve for her. Thank you for this. It's meaningful.
Sure seems right...only the best die young...lost my wonderful son at age 37 a few months after he attended one of Jocko’s boot camps in California. He admired Jocko and loved your podcasts.
Thank you Jocko.
Jocko THANK YOU
I am almost 49 years old. I have lost so many people over the years.
This is a Wonderful video
Thank you Jocko. My older brother died of cancer last year (he was 52) and it has been a rough road.
Found out my little sister passed away this a.m. I pray 🙏🏾 for strength for me and my family to endure 💚
I love it when these just pop up when I'm going through the same situation I just lost a brother-in-law but he was more than that he was my friend when I was a little kid when I lived in that little House of Horrors he took me to my first Bruce Lee movie and many many more movies camping fishing Disney World seven times he accepted God it his passing I never saw that coming then he told me he loved me and I was his favorite nephew I never heard him say he loved anyone to their face he wasn't out so kind he was one tough son of a gun he rode that Pony as far as it would go in great suffering he was also a veteran good night David Bishop May Angels carry thee to thy rest🕊🇺🇸🌄 I'm handling it by staying busy reading cleaning my house
Thanks for talking about this topic guys. I lost my best friend to cancer last year and it was the biggest reality check I’ve ever had to face. It really is a test of character / strength and being there for the family in the hard times. Thanks again guys
One of my best friends passed away randomly a couple of days ago. It crushed me but I had to look back and I saw that he was the happiest he had been his whole life, he was surrounded be his friends and family, and was sober for 3 years after battling with addiction since a young age. He was a bright light in every room he peaked his head in and tried to make everyone’s life easier any way he saw possible. He will forever be a part of who I am and he’ll always by my side. Rest In Peace Nathan, Love you buddy.
I buried my girlfriend yesterday, she passed from suicide. I needed this so bad. Thank you
I had the same in 2008. My dad in 2017. Both suicide. I know exactly how you feel. If you want some advice just comment, God bless you bro
So hard bro, i survived her suicide, almost 3 Years have passed, and sometimes i struggle to stay on the path, just know that you are not alone, honor and love her by being your best and being humble, i send you an honest hug from the bottom of my heart brother, just one day at a time
ahhh my 11 yr old daughter was killed less than 18 mths ago...all I can say is it was medical. it was avoidable and I had no idea what I would stumble upon.....and all is not as it seems here in New Zealand...thank you Jocko and Echo...I keep my shit together mostly and now I must hunker down for the long game after showing my hand as I thought being open was good. Not when you deal with the Govt...some days I don't know who to trust...at the moment I can only trust myself...I am the only team member left...
I lost my best friend of almost 30 years a few days ago unexpectedly. This video has helped me more than anything else. Thank you.
Jocko, thank you. I needed this. Today was my first birthday since my father's passing and it's very different to not get that phone call of him goofily singing happy birthday to me. Thanks for helping me get a handle on it today and giving me a new perspective.
I lost my sister and Jocko's philosophy helps me cope w/ it. Thank you Jocko
This video is something I keep going back to when I lose someone lost, 3 friends to death and this lightens up the dwelling that death can be effect on the mind.
A year later and I still need this. Thank you, sincerely.
This guy knows about what truly matters in life thank your for sharing it live.
RIP Grandma Marlene Benson 4/1/22 :( I will cherish your memory and remember the good times we had. I LOVE YOU!
I had to put my dog down 4 years ago when I was 16 it was the hardest thing for me, 2 years later I bought a new pup and spent every waking moment with him and he sadly passed away last weekend from lyme disease at only 1.5 years old didnt even know what going to happen till it was too late and he had a heart attack in my arms. Ever word Jocko speaks rings true you need to honor every moment you have with he ones you love.
3 year ago i lost my grandma (we live in the same big house) 2 years ago i lost my father, one year ago i lost grandpa. Yeasterday i lost my dog which was my best friends when i need it. Its hard every time but you need to keep moving forward.
I NEEDED YOUR input on this. I NEEDED someone I respect that has been through the brambles to bring me back. I felt like you were talking directly to me. Thank you
I just found out one of my best friends died of a probably OD today.. I knew you would have something to say to help. Thank you Jocko. You touch people deeper than you realize.
True warrior poetry. Jocko is a treasure.
For them, I will live. Amen on that!
Thank you for this. Needed to hear this.
LIVE FOR THOSE THAT DID NOT GET A CHANCE. LIVE FOR THOSE THAT WEREN’T GIVEN A CHANCE. LIVE FOR THOSE THAT GIVE US A CHANCE.
Jocko
I’m 54,retired LEO, lost my 17 yo Son Ryan in a car accident in 2017
Your words just helped me
Thank you Brother
Jocko you are a gift to humanity and to our country, thank you for your service and you're strong words, you are an inspiration and a hell of a guy
I lost my wife on April 25 2020. It's the hardest pain I've ever felt. Being thankful for what I had is something I haven't thought until you said that. I will live for her. Great fucking words!
This came out the day my dog passed away. Thank you for the guidance Jocko it means a lot
Father died yesterday. Be with me everyone.
Jocko u have changed my life with ur speech
Thank you I needed those words after losing the biggest person in my life
Just lost my little brother to a motorcycle accident at 31 yo and I was looking through jockos stuff to find something to help with this pain. Hope it gives me the wisdom to see the good things and learn
My family disowned me. They’re already dead to me. I think they did me a favor honestly to keep it short
hulk thruster That’s not always the case. Families disown people for multiple reasons and many times for stupid reasons.
@@brandon2498 I think the idea behind it is that the bandaid was ripped off quickly and all at once, better the separation than a prolonged exposure to toxic relationships.
My mom left this world yesterday. I sought out this video. I know it will be okay..
You're words mean a lot to so many people
Just lost my brother last night and I needed to hear this!
