    Secondly, again thank you all for your continued support for both myself and Dan's family. You are awesome!

      Yes, the smile on her face when she called him her husband made me think of the look of joy in his eyes whenever he’d call her “my wife.” They were truly gifts in each others’ lives.

      I understand all of that, but her husband just died. She shows no signs of falling apart. Give her time. And I still believe that it is perfectly fine to be weak and fall apart when you lose someone. If I lost a child or my husband of 37 years, I wouldn’t be strong. I would be an emotional wreck. And that would be just fine.

      I don't think Becca was ever shy, quiet or cold. She was just not trying to steal Dan's limelight. Dan's videos were very personal and to have tried to make Dan's videos more about herself would have made her come across as pushy and arrogant. Personally I don't think Becca could have been any more supportive of Dan and what he was going through, and this "new and improved" version of Becca is simply a natural progression of a devoted wife who wants to carry on her late husband's amazing work.

    • @gaylesmith2987
      @gaylesmith2987 Před 5 měsíci

      Why was she so cold and unlikable while Dan was alive? In the car, she'd give him dirty looks and sit as far away from him as possible. In their wedding photos, she barely looked him in the face, always glancing to the side, or looking at her shoes. And where did she come from? She appeared out of nowhere, and relinquished whatever life she had, in an instant. She claims that they met when Dan sat next to her at Starbucks and started chatting away. She said that Dan didn't mention his cancer diagnosis during that meeting. Does that sound like Dan? -- If she was 'planted' to play a role in Dan's life, and she made him happy, that's what matters most. But her personality took a wild turn after he died. You'd think the real Becca would have disappeared into obscurity.

    Today I read the words of a mother (Anna Davis from the small folk) that has lost her boy of 3 years some months ago. She wrote: "I could only be grateful when I realised I would rather have known you for a moment than never at all. I would rather endure this inexplicable pain of outliving you than to never have seen your face or spoken your name. I would rather be yours, and you be mine, regardless. Regardless of the sorrow, the sleepless nights, and the years I will walk this earth, carrying you in my heart". That touched me deeply as it helped me see the pain of loss from a different perspective. Bless you.

    The day the doctors told me there was nothing more that they can do for my mother, I totally broke down.
    I ran out of the room, sat in a stair well and cried my eyes out. Seeing her suffer for 15 straight weeks in a hospital broke me as a person. It was gut wrenching and heart wrenching, it totally threw my life into chaos.
    And then 5 years later seeing nearly the same thing happen to my father, words cannot explain how you feel. And how to feel knowing that your parents are going through so much pain. You just sit there beside them every day all day and all night, trying to help them, trying to make them feel happy. Trying not to cry in front of them because you don't want to upset them anymore than what they are feeling.
    After my father passed away, my life went downhill, started drinking heavily, got busted for drink driving. I was a mess. But getting caught by the police was the best thing for me, I deserved it. Lost my license for over a year.
    I have now managed to get control of my life.
    It has been 4 years since my father passed and 9 years since my mother passed. It has gotten easier to deal with. But you do have those moments where you put yourself back in that same position, where you were sitting next to them.
    But the only thing that makes any sense of it, like you mentioned is that they no longer need to feel the pain.
    I just try and remember all the good times, and hoped that they could see that I tried my best for them. I just hope that at that time they could see that their little boy had grown into a decent, caring and giving man while I looked after them.
    Thank you for sharing your story..
    Don't forget to love yourself.
    Take care,
    Mick..

My dad went crazy and made really bad choices for her care, even with me there! Eventually I had to leave knowing my mom would die, and did about a week later. I couldn’t watch her go either. It’s the most painful thing to do and I’ve watched people die. I just couldn’t watch my mom go.

      @@nunyas thank you for sharing this with me. I thought I was the only one. I really did. My dad died when I was a kid and losing my mom became the greatest fear in my world. I was in my 40s when she got sick and died and when I found out she was dying, it was like my mind just ran away. I could not accept that my greatest fear was becoming my reality. Thank you so much. I don't feel like such a coward or freak or whatever I am 💖✌️

    I'm sorry for your lost😔 it's very hard trying to cope with loosing someone you loved. My sister died from cervical cancer on December 25, 2017, I took care and help her since she was told she had Cancer, it was hard seen her in so much pain and as you say, when she was send to hospice care even though we knew what was coming, it was hard to accept that an amazing person, mother, daughter, sister wasn't going to be with us anymore. But the only thing that takes away my sadness a little bit is that now she is in a better place, no pain. Watching Dan's videos reminded me of her. I admire him, a brave young man, sorrounded by wonderful people and also giving the greatest example that no matter what your going through, stay positive, Don't give in! Don't give up!!!

It has been 5 years now since I lost my son who was 30, you never get over the loss, you just learn to live with it every day, I know my son is with me and his son who I am raising. People might think that I am crazy, but I just know and feel his presence, like your feather dropping from the sky I also have things like this happening to me and it lets me know that he is saying, I'm ok mum xx.

Such a string person to vlog through all his pain. Dan we all will never forget you. Thank you for everything you've given and I really mean that! For me you've given so many words of encouragement and in your own battle you've shown strength and determination. Which gives us so much to remember you by. Becca I thank you and applaud you for having the strength to vlog in his absence going through what you're personally going through. Through you're own pain you're being incredibly strong which I'm sure your husband is greatly appreciative.

    Feel for you so much lovely lady. Lost my husband to esophageal cancer coming up for 2 years ago. All you can do is ride the emotion. People used to say to me, time heals. I used to think, yeah, the pain is awful but I never want to 'get over it', he's too much of an important person to me, the loss is too great. Yeah, it does get easier but he will always be a part of me. With regards to the feather, I think that's awesome. On our son's birthday, 9 months after Brian died, I was vacuuming up and spotted one of Brian's blood testing strips (he was type one diabetic) on the floor in front of me. I'd vacuumed and cleaned so many times before and thought I'd got rid of all his medication stuff. I believe it was him saying happy birthday. :)

    I know the grieving process all too well. Lost my mother in 2008 after a lengthy illness. I will admit it never completely stops, it never goes away. It just becomes part of you, it adds to the description of who you are. You learn to embrace it as just part of who you are, your life experience. And yes, it becomes easier to smile when you remember the person you love who is no longer here. You can think of them without feeling crushing sorrow. The joy of having known and loved them returns, it rises above the grief. Becca, you're an amazing woman and you have so many people out here that you've never met that are in your corner. Thank you for being you, for being there for Dan. I hope your journey back to being ok is swift. Hugs!

He was such a goof, but SO impressive that I subscribed. I never subscribe to people...just people with products. But Dan was quick to reply to my comment so I was hooked. I never really thought he'd go...and still have trouble thinking it's real. I cannot imagine life for you all now. Just know that those of is who followed him really do care about you. You were a special Angel sent to him as his beauty was leaving this world. I believe that. I have to believe that.
    Stay well, lovely Becca. You are loved. 🌹🍁🍂🍃⚘

    I’m sitting here, just after midnight after randomly being suggested one of his videos.
    I think of all the people I love, and if they were to be gone one day because of cancer. I’m a big ol mean, grumpy Marine veteran, and I’m just wiping away tears like I haven’t in ages. Dan seemed to have really been one of a kind, and his story is so incredibly... raw. And touching.
    This poor girl, and his poor family. Their heartbreak is something I’m glad to not have felt, and pray I never experience. Warms my heart to see his story has touched so many people and encourages them to lead better and more fulfilled lives.
    Cancer is a cruel bitch. I hope one day we see a cure for such a vile thing that can kill even the most exceptional, strong, and good people in the world. Rest In Peace Dan.

    When Dan posted his last video in hospice, I broke down crying..praying that somehow a miracle would still happen so you guys could spend some more time together. When I heard of his passing, I was devastated. My husband had to console me. I felt like I knew Dan. He was always so open and friendly to everyone who reached out to him. Even when he wasn't feeling well, he never took a day for granted. Dan will always be a huge inspiration for me to never give up. I don't have cancer, but I do have a debilitating disease called crps. When I wanted to give up, Dan always reminded me that if he could go through something so hard with a smile on his face, then I should too. RIP DAN!! Ta ta...until we meet again!

      Christy In The Carolina's that video is when i wrote my goodbye to him because i could see where it was going in the coming days. Im so happy he did that video to show us all it was time to go and telling us he was in to much pain and stuff knowingly saying goodbye without actually saying it outloud. His family and wife will bring us all the same feelings in time i feel.
