  • Hi Everyone, it's been nearly 2 months since I've been in my garden. After taking some time to grieve, I've slowly started getting outside. Thank you for your patience with me and always being so kind.

    I get it. Lost my dear beautiful friend who I thought so more of a sister… just knowing she walked this earth with me is a blessing each day… grief is something we get to keep our memories.

    May God wrap your soul in His merciful arms until you are with your father again. May He hold you and guide you. May He fill you with peace beyond understanding. May He flood you with blessings to reassure you He is with you. May your faith in God grow stronger and may your relationship with Him become stronger. May you find it in your heart to remain thankful. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen🙏🏼
    I have prayed this prayer since I lost my oldest son🤍

    I’m so sorry for your loss. My passion for gardening was inherited from my late father and mother. I plant my dad’s favorite flower, cyclamens and I plant my mother’s favorite flower inpatients. I think of them all the time while I am gardening. I’m sorry you lost your dad, but I am glad you were blessed to have had him in your life. Be well and when the moments seem like they are too tough to handle, remember a fun or funny time and may those sweet memories bring you comfort. ✝

    I just came across your channel. So very sorry to hear about your dad. Hold his memory tight and hopefully he will visit you and let you know he’s still watching over you. That may sound strange but I love it when my mom and dad and my husband visit me in my dreams so very comforting. I will be watching you from now on

    My sincerest condolences on the loss of your father. Clearly you were very close to him, which was a gift in itself. I understand the fog you are in. We lost a loved one last Christmas, and another this past Christmas. It is difficult to keep moving forward, but we must, and gardening can be a healing tool that will help us find the joy in life again. Sending hugs and prayers.💐

    Oh Deann, my heart breaks for you and your family. I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. Listening to you brought me back to when my dad passed in 2008. It was devastating. As time passes, returning to the activities you love, like gardening, will be very therapeutic. It may even bring you closer to your dad's spirit. But in the meantime, I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Sending you love and a big virtual hug... Cheryl

    I’m so sorry to hear of your precious loss! May God continue to comfort your family and give you strength! I lost my dad 10 years ago, one week before Christmas. Find things to inspire you in your garden and to keep yourself moving. Start a new project and do it in honor of your father. Plant a special plant or tree in memory of him and put a special bench near it. The cardinals will bless you! Your garden is always gorgeous!❤

  • @linditty169
    @linditty169 Před 5 měsíci +4

    Gardening help the soul and your dad would want you to keep busy and like me when I lost my parents and sister I planted certain plants in my yard just in their memory. Make a garden label and date it, nurture it and it will give you such pleasure in years to come.
    Your video brought a tear to my eye and keep gardening it gives so much peace. Thinking of you. 😊

    DeAnn, I am so sorry for your loss l understand what you’re going through. I lost my husband of 59 wonderful years in November. I,too, love gardening and since I lost him I can’t make myself do any gardening. I just look out in my backyard and think, maybe tomorrow. I too live in zone 9B, Ripon CA. Maybe when it gets a little warmer in the spring.
    I love your channel.

    I know your pain. My mom passed away December 8th. It was also unexpected. I dont know how I’m going to handle seeing all her flowers this spring come back from their winter sleep. She had a beloved clematis that is almost 40 years old. She has transplanted it several times with every move she made. I know seeing it come back this spring will be so bittersweet. This is so hard. We had so many plans to re-work a few garden beds. I hope to find strength also with family and her spirit I carry with me. Thank you for sharing your story and I’m sorry for your loss. 😊❤️

    I am so sorry for your loss! I remember feeling exactly like you are feeling when I lost my Dad unexpectedly! It has been 25 yrs ago now but still miss him to this day but have been able to move forward! Lost my mom 8 yrs ago after taking care of her with help of hospice the last year of her life! Not sure which is harder losing s loved one unexpectedly or having a long time to say goodbye bye! Take care of yourself! It will get easier with time!❤️

    Hi this video popped up in my recommendations. I apologize about your father. I know that feeling I lost my dad on July 21st and this year was very weird not getting any phone calls from him wishing me a happy Thanksgiving and or merry Christmas. I began gardening because of him early on this year of 2023 and now I have more of a reason to continue doing it ❤ I live here in Hanford CA so about 50 minutes away from you woo hoo how exciting 🎉😅😊 I just subscribed
