I lost my father last night. My father went above and beyond to make my life , my family's life better. He was always there for me. I don't know how I will cope with him being gone. I love you dad!
Sending you light and love. Your father knew how much you loved him. He’s with you always. I lost my father 6 years ago. My mom is in hospice at home. Idk how much time we have left.I’m heartbroken 💔
I know what you're going through, my father died 2 nights ago and it's very difficult to do anything right now, I hope you're able to find that strength again ❤
I lost my Mum tragically on Jan 8th 2021. The first weeks your numb, then the grief and loss really kicks in. Uncontrollable crying and avoiding people incase you breakdown in front on them. My Mum was an amazing mother and hero to her sons.
I mourn to this day... I am crying while typing this.. But hold on.. Stay strong.. Cry.. Don't hold back.. It releases pent up emotions... Again.. Don't loose hope.. Stay strong.
I lost my brother 7 years ago. I was at home playing video games and the bell rang. There were 2 cops in front of me and they told me point blank that he had drowned. In one instant mine and my parents' whole world turned upside down. He literally vanished without one word to us, without even so much as a goodbye. Sometimes I just want to give up, but I know I cant do that. Never give up. Get your act together, we can do it. Stay strong.
@@PapiGwon amen brotha lost my stepfather suddenly to a heart attack it wasn't easy to keep going but the people who love us need us to be strong god bless Brotha.
My husband died two months ago at 45, leaving me with two small kids. I am the strongest person he knew. Falling to pieces won’t bring him back. He lived his life fully and I have to do the same, especially for my girls who deserve an amazing mom 💕
@@catherinealberto9542 I'm so sorry I know how it feels to be lonely without the person you love, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but life goes on because death is inevitable and we'll all have to face it someday, I lost my son jersey on may 24th 2020 during lockdown on a car accident he just turned 22 on his birthday, got hit by a drunk truck driver, that was the worst and most lamentable day of my life as a single Dad raising two kid's, my 13yr old daughter is my everything and the reason I keep strong, my late wife passed away 3yrs ago to a cardiovascular disease, I felt deeply devastated with grief, but that's the past now, time is indeed the best healer. I'd love to talk to you more if you don't mind! it'd be nice if you just say hi, here is my number +17866676668 or rather you can send me your gmail address so I could reach out on you.
@@kanywanimolly8133 I'm very sorry about your husband, I understand your pain because I've had a great deal of loss in the past but i never give up I kept strong raising my kid's it's hard but it's very nice talking to people with similar experience, thanks for your kind response, I'd love to talk to you more if you don't mind sending me your gmail address so I could reach out on you.
Being the strongest at the funeral doesn't mean being the most stoic. Some of the strongest moments are empathetic. He said that part with tears in his eyes and that tells me that "being the strongest person" could well be crying with those in need and hugging them tight, but then reminding them that "together, we will get through and our love will prevail!" I also love the thought that in a moment like that, strength could manifest itself as being a peacemaker.
I lost my brother a month ago. He was my one and only brother. I am really in pain to accept the fact that he is gone forever. No last goodbyes, no last words. He was living a normal life . He slept and never woke up. That was the worst nightmare for me and for my family. Pray for my family.
I also lost my brother 3 months ago. He went to sleep and never woke up. I can't get through this it seems. I'm having a hard time believing he's gone. I've been going to church often and praying all the time. I'm really sorry for your loss - I know what you're going through.
There is never a good time for any of us to leave this life. I will pray for you and your family that you may be strengthened by this hardship and not be consumed by the heartbreaking pain.
I lost my brother recently on 12th June 23, I'm numb and whenever I see my mother I can't stand. I am trying hard to not recall those beautiful memories. I'm consuming internet and trying to avoid any pain that comes after remembering him. I don't know for how many days. I'm so worried about my mother. Our whole world is upside down.
If you are here because you’ve lost someone close to you, allow yourself to breath, allow yourself to be weak, allow yourself to grieve because your dealing with it the right way, I love you and you are enough, your lost loved one will always love you and you’ll see them again one day
I just lost my mum today to cancer in the liver. She died before my eyes at home with the paramedics. Many of my family, friends and neighbours were around. It was painful. So it’s just my sister and brothers left along with my niece and nephew
My dad died today. I am alone right now but I try to be strong. Jordan's Videos always helped me a lot. I grieve a lot at the moment and Jordan is like a mentor for me.
I just lost my dad a couple of weeks ago. Please know that they do not want you to greive for them too long. They want us to live our lives and be happy. I've already received many signs from my dad since he passed, so please be open to those, as they are there to help you cope and to know that they are okay and still love you very much.
You are not alone. Even a stranger like me feels your pain and I know my dad was different and we are all unique. And it doesn't matter why we lost our loved ones but I think the we all are bound together all I can do is hope you find happiness in the time you had and I hope you do. Xoxo
My mother died earlier today. I'm devastated...I just don't know what to do. I want to break down, isolate myself, but I have to be strong for my siblings, for my father.
My condolences! Tonight I have to leave my wife and our new born son and head to another country, where my mom is on her dying bed. My heart is broken for her, it is so sad that she did not get to see her grandson.
my dad is on intubation and he has a good chance of not making it, and this is something i never imagined or never wanted to imagine, he is still alive but just the thought that in less tan 24 hours he went from medium sick to extremely sick and very severe neumonia/covid case makes me so so sad, this idea that Jordan expresses i think will be the one we all look for
Whether you will ever be ok or not is up to you, time waits for no man things may be difficult right now but you must constantly improve and grow. You probably already knew that your pop was going to die but you keep him alive in your memory, the things you've learned and the experiences had, work towards a better life because there is always something to strive for.
My condolences brother...Have patience... I remember the time when I lost my father... The least u can do is to pray for him and follow what he taught you in life....
23, dad passed 17th March 2023. Honestly as long as you can look at yourself at the end of the day and go "I didn't get any worse today" you're winning man
I lost my dog yesterday, I know many people here lost parents and I’m lucky to still have mine, but my dog was everything to me, she was more than my best friend, she was my will to live. No other living being on this planet understood me like her, I’ll forever miss her.
I have the same relationship with my cat of 17 years. She is fighting illness and has very little time left. She owns my heart and is one of very few pure things I have in this world. I hope I can rally the strength to get through losing her. And I hope you did too.
Pet loss is still loss and grief. It still hurts. I’m not close to my parents so I’m not going to mourn them but my pets? They’re like my animal children so I do mourn them. Don’t think I’m heartless with my parents; they abused me. Child protective services had to get me out so this was real life trauma.
Your loss is just as serious and important. I lost my rabbit a year ago and I'm still not passed it. She was literally my reason for getting out of bed everyday.
I just lost my dog. I am miserable and depressed. I’m moving through life Bc I have children but I feel heartbroken and flat and stuck. I’m so upset. He was my best friend. Everything feels crappy since he’s passed
My little brother died last week (aged 18) and my parents were giving CPR till the helicopter came, took him to hospital and put him on life support. Nothing saved him. It was such a sudden and devastating loss. I would do anything to bring him back. I love you Daniel
@@simona_sigmund1001 my deepest condolences. That is an absolute tragedy for someone so young. I am truly sorry for your loss and heart ache. The world truly doesn't seem fair. I wish you and your family all the strength in the world.
Similar thing happened to me. My grandpa died. I gave him cpr but I couldn’t bring him back. It’s worst feeling ever. Not being able to save him. I failed him and my family. The guilt is always there.
@@batmanbeyond2353 I tried reading a lot about CPR and how sometimes doctors in a hospital cannot bring people back. Once its time its time and we can't do anything about it. Sometimes, trying is all we can do. And yes, even though at the back of my mind the thought that I did something wrong is always there ... I have to remind myself that I tried, but I couldn't bring him back and it was out of my hand. You never know how much time one has left in this world and I didn't want to spend it blaming myself.
@@matokrajniak1901 its going to be a year in month since he passed. i guess im still in denial. hopefully with time i can let it go. thanks for the words.
I lost my mom to cancer about 4 months ago. It happened at a time I was seeming to go up in my career and it totally shattered me. This is the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced,as the oldest sibling I left working on a film to help take care of her everyday until her last. she was expected to last 5 months and died a month later. I felt I had to be strong for my younger siblings and my Dad and now months later the reppressed grief pops up in everyday situations. I can’t explain the emotional damage and trauma this caused me as it’s still relatively fresh. To everyone out there dealing with loss.. experience it.. feel it and don’t try to hold it back. We will get better with time.
I’m so fucking sorry, I lost my dad in January this year due to blood clot. It’s just awful. Sometimes you feel strong then a song comes on or their name gets mentioned and your straight back to square one
how are you going now? i just lost my mother. your comment about experiencing it is helpful as i seem to be suppressing it and trying to be strong , but i know when i fly home where i have noone and im alone it will hit me . i lost mum suddenly, i was going to come home to spend xmas (first time in years) with them and be here for her 70th and she was so excited i was coming home. fuck it hurts. i hope it gets easier.
I have left the earth But I am still about, I kiss your cheek at night, When your light is out. I am the wind, That blows in your hair, I am spirit now, I am near. I sit on your shoulder, I see all that you do, My body is gone, Still my love is with you. When times are tough, I hold your hand, You are never alone, Together we stand. If you are in trouble, I shall help you out, I am your instinct When you doubt. I am the angel Assigned to you, You will never be alone, For I am next to you.
My dads in the hospital right now. The paramedics just left the house. I am so scared. I really need to be the strongest for my little sisters and mother.
@@carsonmountain6017 that's a relief to hear, always love your parents and spend as much time as you can with them. I would give anything on this Earth to hug my dad again for 15 seconds..
Thank u for caring enough to comment. I spend lots of time with my parents. I actuslly take care of them now that they are too old to hold down a full time job and have health problems. Im single and devoted my life to making sure they never end up in a nursing home. Idk what im gonna do when they do pass. I love them so much
In the process of losing my dog. My dog is my best friend. My rock. My identity. I have feared this moment his whole life. And admittedly it has gotten in the way sometimes of me enjoying the moment to its full potential. And now the time has arrived. I am a strong person, but right now I am fully aware that I am completely falling apart. Needing reminders like this right now.
I felt this. I lost my dog on 4 days ago, she was my best friend, and was only 2. I'm absolutely gutted. My girlfriend has been my rock and Jordans videos help me. Thank you for sharing op
This is word for word sounds like something I would write right now, my dog just died yesterday, and a young death for her breed too, exact same boat as you, every single day I feared this moment, just the mere thought of her being gone destroyed me and now it’s here, you know I’d even kiss her sometimes and say “this is from future me cookie, he misses you so much and would do anything to have you back” but I was comforted by the thought that, that moment would be so far away so I have no need to worry, and yet and here I am, living that moment, saying stuff like that is so recent it feels like I can actually go back in time right now, I can almost believe I just did that 5 minutes ago and when I get back home she’ll be waiting for me. Just reciting the words that my dog is dead is unbelievable, it’s a shock in my veins every time I say it because a part of my brain refuses to believe the last week was nothing more than a literal nightmare, and I’ll wake up any minute with her being at my side comforting me.
My son just passed on yesterday, really sad at this moment... thank you Dr. Peterson you special words mean a lot to all of us who are dealing with the grief.
Just over a month ago I lost my father to his battle with depression. Just today I’m listening to this for the first time… trust Jordan and what he’s saying here… I am 22 years old and was the strongest person at his funeral it’s not easy… you’re going to cry you will still mourn and grieve, you will have so many questions and it is all ok. The Bible says “fear not” 366 times… that’s every day of the year including the leap year. Do not fear the pain of loss you have to go through it but you don’t have to let it cripple and break you beyond being able to get back up. Be strong and be loving and compassionate to others and most importantly yourself in the aftermath of loss. Brothers, Sisters… you are here for a reason and a purpose, stay strong.
Grief is like love with nowhere to go. This is why it hurts so bad. Psychology has some great tips on how to deal with it but from my perspective this process is so highly personal and individual that we can never be sure what to expect. One I know for sure: we will all have to face this sooner or later. Let's just hope we are ready for that.
My mom was my best friend and died last night. Your statement about grief being like love with nowhere to go is the most accurate statement I could imagine. Thank you. 💜✨
Love without the person who Passed makes the grief we feel.Such an exact articulation,so incredibly profound and very comforting.ps the preparation to be ready is to sincerely treat your loved ones as if life is a precious and finite experience. Never delay or postpone what you could help them with ,because (unfortunately) we never know when we might not be able to .
Grief is not like love. It is a process. That needs to be allowed to execute and finish. Working through each step of the process. Almost all of psychology allows us to expect exactly what grief consists of. It’s not a nebulous we hardly know, like love is. Grief is just simply a process. I find when people know this it makes it easier.
My grandfather passed away a few hours ago (07/08/20), it was due to natural causes. This is so sad, it seemed like he was recovering from what he suffered. He was a gentleman and he cared about his family, he was a good person. I regret not spending so much time with him lately. Wherever you are now, rest in peace my grandfather, I send you a hug, I love you very much, I will always remember you.
My son died tragically a year ago at 36...a massive heart attack and there was no goodbye..i get through everyday with a mixture of beautiful memories of my son Alex and the what ifs and whys......tragedy leaves you breathless.....his words help .....happiness in brief moments.. .
@@krumble_kat doesn't make my sorrow any less meaningful or impactful man, why would you even think to compare levels of grief from the loss of a close loved one?!!
My Dad died when i was 22.I was shattered.It is very very hard but you learn to cope.They wouldnt want to you to be SAD.You must go forward and enjoy life which is the gift that he gave you.As long as he is in your heart,he is always with you.The love he has for you,and the love you have for him is ETERNAL.His blood and DNA are in your veins.Remember the LOVE,and always remember the happy times! They might be gone physically,but they never leave you,you WILL meet again

Lost my pet brother today as well. Picked him out when I was one year old. 18 years together and I had to watch as he was put down. Can’t look at all the cat stuff in my house right now
Lost my mom in December... I just want to join her.... But I can't....my father needs me... I love you Mom .... Life ...is harsh..... Just the way ...it is..... I would like to meet her in paradise.... Love you Mom Rest in peace 🙏
My wife just passed a few weeks ago. I took care of her for 5 years, and the last few months were horrible for her. But, she had me loving her every step of the way. I treasure that awful experience of being with her to the end.
Jordan Peterson is going through a very difficult physical struggle right now due to the medications given to him during the time of his wife's health battle. He has many who hate him but many many many more who care about him for speaking that which those who hate him do not want the people to hear and learn because he has opened many eyes. I know God will heal him.
I watched this video 2 days after my fiancé passed from brain cancer. Her wake and funeral were in the coming days---which I was so nervous about. I had never been in a funeral line before...never mind being the head of the line standing next to a casket with everyone looking at me---trying to understand how to act. I promised myself after this video I would be the strongest person there. She was strong while she was here going thru her treatment--never complained and always had a positive attitude about everything. I was strong for everyone that day--her family, my family, all her friends, all my friends, and most importantly her. I broke down many times before and after, and the grieving process is still very raw and real---however for those ~7-10 hours I focused on her strength to get me through. Anyone reading this about to going thru something similar--please accept my deepest condolences and know that you are strong enough to handle anything that is put in front of you.
I lost my dad 3 days ago, suddenly and unexpectedly. He was my best friend and biggest fan. We spoke everyday. I’m trying to find the strength I need to give him a proper eulogy, he deserves it. I’m just lost
My father passed away 2 days ago. The events unfold in such a way I was wrapping up work when I received a call from my sister I could identify from her voice something emotionally wrecking has occurred but I wasn’t sure what exactly? She inquired if I could board a flight with my current immigration status to which I responded tell me I am brave enough. I don’t know deep inside my heart I knew my whole world will be turned upside down after this call. She laid out to me “Dad’s no more” To which my first response was you don’t worry sister I will handle everything I didn’t have to force it just came to me naturally. I attended my father's funeral over a video call also provided moral support to my family as much as I could. I have pain but I also have this feeling like I know what my dad must’ve wanted me to do. He always told everyone how proud he is because of his children. I know he is not with me but he lives eternally in my values. 💝 I LOVE YOU DAD!!!
I wasn’t the strongest person in my Dad’s funeral. I teared up a lot and stayed mostly silent. Our family is still together but that void is undeniably sad. I don’t judge any of them when they’re having a rough time.
That's ok. How can everyone be the strongest. I think in reality he means the strongest you can be. My dad is coming to the end now. Cancer is breaking him down and I dread the funeral and weeks afterwards.
@@Shutityou I hope the best for you and your family, my brother has a rare leukemia and hopefully this last ditch treatment will work, I've been thinking about the end and after as well.

Lost my beautiful gorgeous courageous angel wife 6weeks ago yesterday and all the feelings and mixed emotions come in waves,the numbness like walking in a woken dreamthen coming back to empty house that's no longer home imagining All the usual routines we done every day and realising she's not there and the sudden pain of that realisation hits like a bullet bringing you down to your knees like a wounded soldier and the tears burn like acid in your eyes just knowing that you'll never see them again in this life the uncontrollable grief of such pain is like no other wishing with all your might that it's all a bad dream yet knowing you'll never feel the same about life in the future because that person you were with for forty years was everything you lived for is like a light has gone out in your soul.Its the toughest lesson we all come to know when someone you love so deeply has gone.It can help if only a little when people like Dr Peterson can impart words deep and meaningfull with such emotion which let's us realise we really aren't alone in this trail of tears and pain.God bless one and all who are going through the same xx.
My father had died three days ago,i am here to tell anyone how still have his parents alive that you’re so lucky and you have so much but you don’t feel that right now,and you will only recognize how valuable what you have right now when you lose them,so i am telling that after i have already lost,but you still have a chance,spend as much time as you can with your parents because believe me, after they are gone you will wish that you spent every second in your life with them,do not let them need anything,do anything they want you to do even if you don’t want to do it,go to your father and mother and kiss their hands,glorify the bless that you have before it’s too late
My beautiful kind selfless mother passed away yesterday (March 11, 2022) and I cannot express the depths of my sorrow, sadness and the emptiness I feel. She was the most wonderful person I’ve ever known. She was the source of all joy, the rock and the life of our family. I really cannot see how I can recover when she seemed like she was going to make it. I just wish I had one more week, one more month and one more year with her. I pray pray pray I get to see her again.
my grandpa passed away last night, i’m 17 and understanding this in a spiritual level is something one cannot understand with the things that go on in this world I really pray that you guys see what christ does for an individual and for a community.
I’m sorry bro. I can’t imagine how you feel. I’m sitting here struggling just thinking about when I will lose my grandparents. But I have hope because through Christ I will see them again no matter what❤️
17 too. Loved one has cancer and it isn’t looking too good. We’ll be good. The only thing we can do is move on in their memory. I’m sure your grandfather would want you to be happy, making every meaningful memory you can with the people who are still here with you
Just lost my grandpa this morning. This comment section is so full of love it’s astounding. I hope you are doing well brother, reading you comment as well as everyone else’s has put my mind more at ease than anything else so far.
hello, something similar happened to me yesterday, how is it going so far and what immediate guided steps should i take any help is appreciated stranger
My mom died 3 days ago, I'm going through a lot of pain, she was only 58, I'm 28 (will be 29 this summer), I'm staying strong for her and in turn for me, but it's very hard and i cry a lot but i have to bury her, I don't have any relatives who can help me, but i have some friends who are helping me to get through it. Let us all stay strong, it's what they want for us.
@@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw Stay strong and have your last words with your father if you still can. As for myself, I'm doing a little better, but these 3 months were an insane emotional rollercoaster and still are, and probably will be more to come. Taking it one day at a time the best I can, it's a very hard process.
I have lost my Mother.It hurts .There's no way around it but I've realised I have strength I didn't know I had.I imagine the last time she spoke to me and I don't want this memory to fade like most things do.Im afraid I'll forget her ways and wish I could guarantee to remember her because I feel a duty not to just move on .
I really hope Jordan gets the recognition he deserves in the future. His words are healing people that are literally in hell. Im crying reading all these comments.
Lost my mum in 2019 when I was 29. She was my only relative apart from my 7 year old. The only one who wanted to be in my life and wanted me to be in theirs. The only unconditional love I've felt. I have no one left for support. I'm just surviving right now and not living. I don't know how to make it stop hurting. I sometimes feel like if I scream loud enough, I'll wake up and she will be here, with it all just being a nightmare. Life is so hard at times. Having a support system will make or break you.
i feel like that sometimes too, holler at me, i might listen at times BUT i promise never to shun a person like you, there might be tough love but some modicum of love and respect nonetheless i just suffered a loss yesterday too
I lost my husband of 68 years, almost three months ago. Lost in grief is a truth. Just that. Lost in grief. No other words. Catholic Faith. I’ve buried my Mother and Father. I buried our child. I am missing Paul. And, I am very old.
Currently Loosing my Mom and grieving I’m 20 years old the pain is intense and I can totally feel your comment it’s been 10 months since you made it but I hope everything is well for you❤ Love you and whoever is out there loves you too
I'm very sorry about your husband, trust me I completely understand how you feel, I felt the same way when my wife past away June 4th 2018 grief is hard to deal with but we learn to live with it, where are you from ?.
My mother died on Monday, April 12, 2021, and I understand. I miss her daily. She was the best mother in the universe. I needed this message. Monday, April 12, 2021 was the toughest day of my life. On the bright side, I only have to experience it once. Sometimes, I can’t believe my mother isn’t here.
It all came so fast, I prepared my self mentally for 5 months, but it's more painful than I thought, it hits me like waves. I should have been even more attentive, we think time is endless, we waste posting pictures, creating fake world's on socialmedia, instead of being grateful and appreciate the moment😓 and then it's all gone. I feel completely Lost and unsecure of my future. Everything becomes unimportant after the loss........... I'm going to build a new future.
I kept repeating "I'll take care of the family", over and over again when I lost dad, as if something miraculous has happened, as if, I am ready for the job. Truth is, it took me 6 years to do the most common sense related stuff. I am slowly learning to allow myself to cry and get angry and sad at times. Sometimes I just lose it even around mum and I hate myself for that. But like Mr. Peterson said, I am slowly developing my character. I know, I won't be able to change myself completely but I will keep trying. My dad's life carried a meaning, my life carries a meaning and I am trying to find it. So anyone out there, who is beating himself, considering that he isn't a very good human being because he doesn't know how to deal with pain and life, please know, every LITTLE thing you are trying to do to take care of the pain in you and around you, counts. You are already in pain, you are crying to sleep, every other night or at every movie you watch you don't need guilt on top of it. May you find peace 🙏🤞🏼
I’m crying I lost my dad I miss him so much. I can’t believe it’s been 6 months. It feels like yesterday. I can’t believe I can never see him again and talk to him or hug him.
@miishallx @miishallx I am so sorry for your loss. As someone who has gone through this painful process and is still going through it, I can assure you one thing.....your pain is either gonna make you or break you, and your dad wouldn't want you to be broken. Almost 7 years now, and I am just realising that. This pain is always gonna stay. So, use it to honour your father who wanted you to succeed and progress. I know it's not gonna be easy, but trust me, if you let this pain stay, years later, it will take a toll on you, and you'll end up in a depressing state. The dreams your dad saw for you will never be fulfilled. So now, allow yourself to grieve, but also, know that you gotta continue working hard on your dreams and his dreams. His greatest dream would be to see you successful, and you have to gather yourself and somehow do it. I never imagined that I would use my dad with a past tense. But here I am, I am trying to fight through depression myself, took me almost 7 years now, and trust me, being sad and miserable never helps anyone, especially those who are our loved ones. If your dad can see you, he will be so sad for being the reason for your sadness. So please start working in it already. Let this be his sacrifice for the positive turning point in your life. You will miss him, you will cry, and you will feel like there is no purpose in life anymore......feel all that and then gather yourself up, think about his sacrifices, and get up and honour him. Now, you have a purpose to be a shoulder and a hope to those who have gone through similar experiences. That's what I am doing. Somewhere, he is watching you, hoping that his sacrifices won't go to waste. So please, for the sake of yourself and the rest of your family members, start working on your dreams and his dreams so that they can live, looking up to you. I know it's hard right now, but try to still be grateful to whatever you have left. I used to think of this as some nonsense, but forgiveness and gratitude have saved me. There is a show called Six Feet Under, if you can find it, watch it. Somehow, you'll find some sort of closure as it is about a family dealing with the loss of a loved family one. Sending you lots of love, best wishes, and hugs. Please take care of yourself. Your dad wants that more than ever now. ♥️✨️
I'm very sorry about your husband, trust me I completely understand how you feel, I felt the same way when my wife past away June 4th 2018 grief is hard to deal with but we learn to live with it, where are you from ?..
My dad and granny passed away on June 2020. My mom literally survived from covid19. This summer was hell for me as I was burying my loved ones while taking care of my mother and yeah I had no time to realize the situation happening to me, it was about saving life of my mom and taking care of funerals since no one from friends and relatives even wanted to come to my city being afraid of the virus and no emotional things like sadness or a tragedy I felt inside as I was totally taken by responsibilities of "doing something" just myself with no one's help. Only few months later I realized that I and my mom remained alone in this world and there's no one really who care about you and your problems at all than you. I still cry every night reading father's last text messages when we were in a hospital together.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to lose loved ones to covid19 while being isolated as well. I pray that God will be with you and give strength to you and your mother during this difficult time. 'And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.' (Revelation 21:4)
I lost my mom... Sending love to everyone who has lost a loved one.. After I lost her I gave up on life and still have bad days but I realized I'm blessed and her energy lives on... I just have to heal.. I'm learning.. I want to be happy again..
I lost my dad this morning. The last twelve hours killed me and my family in ICU. He had over twelve syringe drivers but his liver and kidneys packed in. He was a fighter. I hope to remember and focus on the good times. 😢
I buried my father today. I may have failed to be the strongest person at my fathers funeral, but this experience is apart of the continual improvement of my character. And I believe my family is closer because of this experience.
I lost my aunt just before Christmas 2022, when I first heard about it I wasn't crying immediately it was more like shock and disbelief. It was so sudden and out of nowhere, it didn't really hit until the next day. Now stepping inside her house with my uncle being there and all my childhood memories, it just breaks my heart. I can honestly say I've lost my mother twice, once in 2005 when I was 5 and now in 2022
My dad died tonight. Im so numb. I sang him Oceans by hillsong. He waited until the song was over… then took his last breath. It was poetic. And i hope he was at peace. Love you dad.
My dad has cancer and he is dying next too me and there's nothing I can do to help or to stop it from happening, I don't see how I will overcome this in the future but watching Dr Peterson gives me some hope that I will, I guess I'll be watching this video a couple of times a day in the coming months trying to not lose myself to grief
My heart breaks for you. I lost my dad a month ago because of cancer. The only difference was that we didn't know he had it, in fact we didn't know he was seriously ill at all, and we never got to say any goodbyes or anything and that breaks my heart. From my perspective, the best thing you can do with your dad is to try to come to as much of a conclusion as you possibly can - tell him that you will carry on with life and do him proud, tell him you love him, tell him you will look after mum etc. Cover all bases but also be strong. Try to keep him strong by not seeing you very upset. I just wished I had the same opportunity to speak to my dad before he passed...
The only thing I suggest that you do is make the best of it while he’s here. I just lost my dad to cancer on the 25th of January of this year. I regret not asking enough questions. Or waiting so long to know everything about him. I feel like there’s so much I didn’t ask. And I hate that I never did. Don’t ever be too busy for him.
@@gordonfreeman5958 Jesus loves you more than you could possibly know. He is our only true hope in this world. Allow me to share my best friend's story.. I pray it is a help to you. 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) ****************************** This testimony has been made into a tract form as well, so if you or your church are interested in having them to pass out, please go to libertyfaith.net and you will find the contact info there.

I lost my grandad to old age and now my sister to depression and I feel stuck in a hole with this i love them so much but there never coming back I guess just gotta be a man now love to everyone watching this and you got this 💛
My mother passes away, this past saturday. This and Jocko Willink have helped me so much with their words of wisdom. I can't thank this man enough for his words.
I lost my dad 4 days ago, he was my best friend and I saw him everyday. I am trying my hardest for my wife and kid to keep myself together, but it seems to be an impossible task. Thanks for everything Dr peterson, you have helped me be a better person for years.
Watching this after losing my sister, and my mom is not in the best of shape. My mom woke up from what can simply be described as a coma a week after my sister's passing and we haven't told her yet. We really don't know how to and we don't want to make her condition any worse so we're waiting until she can talk and regain some of her motor functions. This has been a devastating year for my family, but Dr. Peterson's words ring true and can help guide people such as us through the darkest of times by reminding us that each of us has the power to bring in the light.
Jesus loves you more than you could possibly know. He is our only true hope in this world. Allow me to share my best friend's story.. I pray it is a help to you.

I recently lost my dog (14 years) and I feel extremely numb. I’ve already lost too many people and I’ll cry like I’ll never never cry before. She was the greatest dog I’ve ever had and she was a best friend to me. RIP Pebbles, I’ll dearly miss u every day
My girlfriend just passed away from addiction this helped me I just wish there was more that could have been done she was only 29 dealing with severe depression and always turned to substances to dull her feelings this is the true epidemic in our world is the abuse of illegal drugs her death should be on our government for failures on a massive scale she needed help and nobody could help her that’s the issue in this world that needs to be fixed
I watched my mother breathe her last breath yesterday at 12:58pm. She was stubborn, she twords then last years, about 15 or so, a good chunk. She was bitter...but she was my mom...unfortunately I couldn't spend as much time with her as I would have liked without putting myself into constant battles and arguments..certain ailments are harder than others to deal with..and sometimes they make it impossible to be around..this kills ne...thoroughly....and I feel guilty for it. 😢 I'm trying hard...really hard. I don't know how to even begin to navigate through this. I just hope people going through this are able to find peace..because anger surely is not the answer. It'd ALWAYS LOVE.
I lost last year my son at age of 21..for me is like Iost the world. I cannot be happy anymore and I can’t laugh anymore because for me my child was part of me . Our children represent ourselves. God may give strength to those who lost a family member
I lost my father on November 2, 2022, which was the most horrid and hard time of my life because my father has always been there for me! I've always loved my dad but as I grew older I spent less time with him because of school and doing things I wanted to do. But I regretted not spending the time with him because I start to see how fast life goes and how much you should take time for granted. I cried every day hoping for the good fortune that my father would pull through and come home from the hospital, but that never happened. So, whenever I see a memory or a place about my father, I burst out crying and remember the time I spent with him. All I have to say is, spend time with the person you love, don't always think about anything else because you only have one life, if they ask you to do something with them, do it because it could be your last! So, from my perspective, losing someone is hard and you'll never forget them if you genuinely charice the time you had with them!
Losing my father has really ripped me up inside im still trying to recover more mentally from it.. Its getting close to a year now im better in some ways but yes there will always be a sadness in my heart for my best friend my teacher my hero. I owe my father so much and i know that he would want me to be the best i could give to myself and my loved ones. Sadness is not weakness its being human. PEACE & LOVE to everyone dealing with lose.
Just loss my Dad 3 days ago. I'm taking pretty hard because he was such an amazing man and father. This will sting for a while bit I know he's in God's hands. No more pain and sorrows. I love you Dad and will miss you as long as I'm alive ❤️
My dad died 11 years ago and I remember him all the time because he was such a great father to me . It still hurts to this day but the more time passes the more I concentrate on all the great times and don't suffer so much for losing him .
I lost my father last night. My father went above and beyond to make my life , my family's life better. He was always there for me. I don't know how I will cope with him being gone. I love you dad!
I’m sorry for your loss. Can’t imagine how you feel right now but i know you’ll get through this. Make your father proud
Sending you light and love. Your father knew how much you loved him. He’s with you always. I lost my father 6 years ago. My mom is in hospice at home. Idk how much time we have left.I’m heartbroken 💔
Sending you thoughts and prayers. I hope you are finding strength in these tough times.
I know what you're going through, my father died 2 nights ago and it's very difficult to do anything right now, I hope you're able to find that strength again ❤
So sorry for your loss I lost my mom yesterday and the grief that I feel is beyond words. Praying for you.🙏
May whoever watching this and dealing with hardship at the moment, may your family members rest in peace and sail peacefully in heaven
❤️
Thank you
Thank you ❤

I lost my Mum tragically on Jan 8th 2021. The first weeks your numb, then the grief and loss really kicks in. Uncontrollable crying and avoiding people incase you breakdown in front on them. My Mum was an amazing mother and hero to her sons.
I'm so sorry for your loss John. I'll be thinking and praying for you and your family.

I mourn to this day... I am crying while typing this.. But hold on.. Stay strong.. Cry.. Don't hold back.. It releases pent up emotions... Again.. Don't loose hope.. Stay strong.
I lost my brother 7 years ago. I was at home playing video games and the bell rang. There were 2 cops in front of me and they told me point blank that he had drowned. In one instant mine and my parents' whole world turned upside down. He literally vanished without one word to us, without even so much as a goodbye. Sometimes I just want to give up, but I know I cant do that. Never give up. Get your act together, we can do it. Stay strong.
I lost him on February 25th. I am related to a famous guy. At his funeral assholes were taking selfies with him.
Do you have children 😢
I'm sure he's thinking of his wife when he gets upset. I love this man like a Father.
Love him n love u stay strong neighbor

@@catherinealberto9542 I'm so sorry I know how it feels to be lonely without the person you love, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but life goes on because death is inevitable and we'll all have to face it someday, I lost my son jersey on may 24th 2020 during lockdown on a car accident he just turned 22 on his birthday, got hit by a drunk truck driver, that was the worst and most lamentable day of my life as a single Dad raising two kid's, my 13yr old daughter is my everything and the reason I keep strong, my late wife passed away 3yrs ago to a cardiovascular disease, I felt deeply devastated with grief, but that's the past now, time is indeed the best healer.

Being the strongest at the funeral doesn't mean being the most stoic. Some of the strongest moments are empathetic. He said that part with tears in his eyes and that tells me that "being the strongest person" could well be crying with those in need and hugging them tight, but then reminding them that "together, we will get through and our love will prevail!" I also love the thought that in a moment like that, strength could manifest itself as being a peacemaker.
Thank you for this ❣️🙌

I lost my brother a month ago. He was my one and only brother. I am really in pain to accept the fact that he is gone forever.
No last goodbyes, no last words.
He was living a normal life .
He slept and never woke up.
That was the worst nightmare for me and for my family.
Pray for my family.
I also lost my brother 3 months ago. He went to sleep and never woke up.
I can't get through this it seems. I'm having a hard time believing he's gone.
I've been going to church often and praying all the time.
I'm really sorry for your loss - I know what you're going through.
I’ll pray for the two of you and your families. May God’s peace and grace be upon you all
Lost my brother in June of 2020. Worse day of my life. I’ll never forget any details about that day at all. I’m sorry for you loss.
There is never a good time for any of us to leave this life. I will pray for you and your family that you may be strengthened by this hardship and not be consumed by the heartbreaking pain.
I lost my brother recently on 12th June 23, I'm numb and whenever I see my mother I can't stand. I am trying hard to not recall those beautiful memories. I'm consuming internet and trying to avoid any pain that comes after remembering him. I don't know for how many days. I'm so worried about my mother. Our whole world is upside down.
If you are here because you’ve lost someone close to you, allow yourself to breath, allow yourself to be weak, allow yourself to grieve because your dealing with it the right way, I love you and you are enough, your lost loved one will always love you and you’ll see them again one day
I can’t wait to see my soulmate again
yea lost my mother 12 hours ago.. thanks for writing that comment
Thank you. I love you too. Your words are beautiful and healing. Thank you so much
Thank you for saying that
I miss my grandfather so much. He died last Tuesday. I was so close with him. I don’t know if I’m gonna make it
Lost my mum a year ago, still cry my eyes out every day. Still struggling to adjust to the change.
Hey hope you are traveling well. Your in my thoughts
as someone who loved you she would want you to go through the grieving process in a healthy way and live a happy life. get help if you need it
How are you doing now?
I just lost my mum today to cancer in the liver. She died before my eyes at home with the paramedics. Many of my family, friends and neighbours were around. It was painful. So it’s just my sister and brothers left along with my niece and nephew
@@lmusima3275 omG we have the same story. I lost my mom on the 30th June. I am suffering...
My dad died today. I am alone right now but I try to be strong. Jordan's Videos always helped me a lot. I grieve a lot at the moment and Jordan is like a mentor for me.
I pray you’re doing okay now ♥️
I just lost my dad a couple of weeks ago. Please know that they do not want you to greive for them too long. They want us to live our lives and be happy. I've already received many signs from my dad since he passed, so please be open to those, as they are there to help you cope and to know that they are okay and still love you very much.
@@shelbytrue4848 hey thank you very much. I am doing okay. How are you doing? ❤️🙏
You are not alone. Even a stranger like me feels your pain and I know my dad was different and we are all unique. And it doesn't matter why we lost our loved ones but I think the we all are bound together all I can do is hope you find happiness in the time you had and I hope you do. Xoxo
You are never alone
My mother died earlier today. I'm devastated...I just don't know what to do. I want to break down, isolate myself, but I have to be strong for my siblings, for my father.
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I'm on my way there soon. It will be rough.
My condolences! Tonight I have to leave my wife and our new born son and head to another country, where my mom is on her dying bed. My heart is broken for her, it is so sad that she did not get to see her grandson.
I pray and wishes you for all the best , you'll get through it. I believed in you
Same here. 🥺
God bless you all
My dad died on april 2nd.. He was my best friend and i miss him so much. I know ill never be ok. Im trying.
You will be oke man. You will become as strong and happy as your dad would have wanted. Stay strong
@@woutera11 thank you.. Taking time out of your life to wish someone else well is what this world needs more of. *hugs you.
my dad is on intubation and he has a good chance of not making it, and this is something i never imagined or never wanted to imagine, he is still alive but just the thought that in less tan 24 hours he went from medium sick to extremely sick and very severe neumonia/covid case makes me so so sad, this idea that Jordan expresses i think will be the one we all look for
I’m sorry bro. My heart hurts for you. Stay strong. All love.
Whether you will ever be ok or not is up to you, time waits for no man things may be difficult right now but you must constantly improve and grow. You probably already knew that your pop was going to die but you keep him alive in your memory, the things you've learned and the experiences had, work towards a better life because there is always something to strive for.
Lost my father this morning. I love you Dad! Going to miss his wisdom, advice and presence.
Lost my dad in pandemic, couldn’t travel and bury him because of the travel bans. Couldn’t be there for my family, I’m crushed.
My condolences brother...Have patience... I remember the time when I lost my father... The least u can do is to pray for him and follow what he taught you in life....
I hope it got better and you and your family can be together now.
Condolences To You And Yours
Hey, how are you doing now?
I hope you’re doing better now.
I'm 33 and just lost my father. Needed to hear this.
32 and just lost my uncle. And grandma isn't doing good I feel your pain brother
34 here just lost my dad yesterday I know the pain. Deepest condolences to you
@@jamesmackinnon4314 My Condolodnes to you, I lost my Grandma yesterday I am still in a sudden shock😞🙏
23, dad passed 17th March 2023. Honestly as long as you can look at yourself at the end of the day and go "I didn't get any worse today" you're winning man
I lost my dog yesterday, I know many people here lost parents and I’m lucky to still have mine, but my dog was everything to me, she was more than my best friend, she was my will to live. No other living being on this planet understood me like her, I’ll forever miss her.
I have the same relationship with my cat of 17 years. She is fighting illness and has very little time left. She owns my heart and is one of very few pure things I have in this world. I hope I can rally the strength to get through losing her. And I hope you did too.
Pet loss is still loss and grief. It still hurts. I’m not close to my parents so I’m not going to mourn them but my pets? They’re like my animal children so I do mourn them. Don’t think I’m heartless with my parents; they abused me. Child protective services had to get me out so this was real life trauma.
Your loss is just as serious and important. I lost my rabbit a year ago and I'm still not passed it. She was literally my reason for getting out of bed everyday.
I just lost my dog. I am miserable and depressed. I’m moving through life Bc I have children but I feel heartbroken and flat and stuck. I’m so upset. He was my best friend. Everything feels crappy since he’s passed
@@AM-qr4yssame situation here brother, my heart is broken. My life will never be the same.
I lost my dad yesterday. Out of nowhere. I was giving CPR till the emergency services arrived, nothig could be done. I miss you dad and I love you.
My little brother died last week (aged 18) and my parents were giving CPR till the helicopter came, took him to hospital and put him on life support. Nothing saved him. It was such a sudden and devastating loss. I would do anything to bring him back. I love you Daniel
@@simona_sigmund1001 my deepest condolences. That is an absolute tragedy for someone so young. I am truly sorry for your loss and heart ache. The world truly doesn't seem fair. I wish you and your family all the strength in the world.
Similar thing happened to me. My grandpa died. I gave him cpr but I couldn’t bring him back. It’s worst feeling ever. Not being able to save him. I failed him and my family. The guilt is always there.
@@batmanbeyond2353 I tried reading a lot about CPR and how sometimes doctors in a hospital cannot bring people back. Once its time its time and we can't do anything about it. Sometimes, trying is all we can do. And yes, even though at the back of my mind the thought that I did something wrong is always there ... I have to remind myself that I tried, but I couldn't bring him back and it was out of my hand. You never know how much time one has left in this world and I didn't want to spend it blaming myself.
@@matokrajniak1901 its going to be a year in month since he passed. i guess im still in denial. hopefully with time i can let it go. thanks for the words.
I lost my mom to cancer about 4 months ago. It happened at a time I was seeming to go up in my career and it totally shattered me. This is the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced,as the oldest sibling I left working on a film to help take care of her everyday until her last. she was expected to last 5 months and died a month later. I felt I had to be strong for my younger siblings and my Dad and now months later the reppressed grief pops up in everyday situations. I can’t explain the emotional damage and trauma this caused me as it’s still relatively fresh. To everyone out there dealing with loss.. experience it.. feel it and don’t try to hold it back. We will get better with time.
This just happened to me today. Admist my career growth. Only child, but I feel your pain. I’m sorry.
I was in a similar situation with my father. Prayers and my condolences 🎈
I’m so fucking sorry, I lost my dad in January this year due to blood clot. It’s just awful. Sometimes you feel strong then a song comes on or their name gets mentioned and your straight back to square one
@@Pastregulation Same here. I finally have the money to help my mom, and buy her whatever she needs, and yet she is dying in front of me.
how are you going now? i just lost my mother. your comment about experiencing it is helpful as i seem to be suppressing it and trying to be strong , but i know when i fly home where i have noone and im alone it will hit me .
i lost mum suddenly, i was going to come home to spend xmas (first time in years) with them and be here for her 70th and she was so excited i was coming home. fuck it hurts. i hope it gets easier.
I have left the earth
But I am still about,
I kiss your cheek at night,
When your light is out.
I am the wind,
That blows in your hair,
I am spirit now,
I am near.
I sit on your shoulder,
I see all that you do,
My body is gone,
Still my love is with you.
When times are tough,
I hold your hand,
You are never alone,
Together we stand.
If you are in trouble,
I shall help you out,
I am your instinct
When you doubt.
I am the angel
Assigned to you,
You will never be alone,
For I am next to you.
Beautiful
💛💛💛
You just made me cry. Thank you.
Beautiful
My dads in the hospital right now. The paramedics just left the house. I am so scared. I really need to be the strongest for my little sisters and mother.
I really hope everything went in a good way fam
@@matijabrajovic6370 thank you. My dad is okay thank god
@@carsonmountain6017 that's a relief to hear, always love your parents and spend as much time as you can with them. I would give anything on this Earth to hug my dad again for 15 seconds..
Thank u for caring enough to comment. I spend lots of time with my parents. I actuslly take care of them now that they are too old to hold down a full time job and have health problems. Im single and devoted my life to making sure they never end up in a nursing home. Idk what im gonna do when they do pass. I love them so much
@@carsonmountain6017 just have good relationship with them and spend some time and everything will be fine man
In the process of losing my dog. My dog is my best friend. My rock. My identity. I have feared this moment his whole life. And admittedly it has gotten in the way sometimes of me enjoying the moment to its full potential. And now the time has arrived. I am a strong person, but right now I am fully aware that I am completely falling apart. Needing reminders like this right now.
I felt this. I lost my dog on 4 days ago, she was my best friend, and was only 2. I'm absolutely gutted. My girlfriend has been my rock and Jordans videos help me. Thank you for sharing op
May your dog rest in peace... eternally ❤
This is word for word sounds like something I would write right now, my dog just died yesterday, and a young death for her breed too, exact same boat as you, every single day I feared this moment, just the mere thought of her being gone destroyed me and now it’s here, you know I’d even kiss her sometimes and say “this is from future me cookie, he misses you so much and would do anything to have you back” but I was comforted by the thought that, that moment would be so far away so I have no need to worry, and yet and here I am, living that moment, saying stuff like that is so recent it feels like I can actually go back in time right now, I can almost believe I just did that 5 minutes ago and when I get back home she’ll be waiting for me. Just reciting the words that my dog is dead is unbelievable, it’s a shock in my veins every time I say it because a part of my brain refuses to believe the last week was nothing more than a literal nightmare, and I’ll wake up any minute with her being at my side comforting me.
My father is my hero, I miss him
Sometimes I just want to give him the biggest hug ❤
Jordan is so inspirational. His words can be a light in the darkest of places.
My son just passed on yesterday, really sad at this moment... thank you Dr. Peterson you special words mean a lot to all of us who are dealing with the grief.
My Condolences I Love You
Sorry to hear, my condolences. A lot of people mentioning their parents, but I couldn't imagine the pain of losing a child.
@@LeeSHuff Thank you for your condolences, love you too, take care!
@@TheBoomshine Thank you for your condolences.
So sorry for your loss
Sending love 💕
Just over a month ago I lost my father to his battle with depression. Just today I’m listening to this for the first time… trust Jordan and what he’s saying here… I am 22 years old and was the strongest person at his funeral it’s not easy… you’re going to cry you will still mourn and grieve, you will have so many questions and it is all ok.
The Bible says “fear not” 366 times… that’s every day of the year including the leap year.
Do not fear the pain of loss you have to go through it but you don’t have to let it cripple and break you beyond being able to get back up.
Be strong and be loving and compassionate to others and most importantly yourself in the aftermath of loss.
Brothers, Sisters… you are here for a reason and a purpose, stay strong.
Lost my grandad 2 weeks ago due to the virus he brought me up not my actual father. Had his funeral today and I need this
I hope you are the person that both your grandfather and Dr. Peterson hoped you would be. Stay strong friend
My condolences, my grandad passed away today. I don’t know how to cope with it.
Grief is like love with nowhere to go.
This is why it hurts so bad.
Psychology has some great tips on how to deal with it but from my perspective this process is so highly personal and individual that we can never be sure what to expect. One I know for sure: we will all have to face this sooner or later. Let's just hope we are ready for that.
My mom was my best friend and died last night. Your statement about grief being like love with nowhere to go is the most accurate statement I could imagine.
Thank you. 💜✨
Love without the person who Passed makes the grief we feel.Such an exact articulation,so incredibly profound and very comforting.ps the preparation to be ready is to sincerely treat your loved ones as if life is a precious and finite experience. Never delay or postpone what you could help them with ,because (unfortunately) we never know when we might not be able to .
Grief is not like love. It is a process. That needs to be allowed to execute and finish. Working through each step of the process. Almost all of psychology allows us to expect exactly what grief consists of. It’s not a nebulous we hardly know, like love is. Grief is just simply a process. I find when people know this it makes it easier.
My grandfather passed away a few hours ago (07/08/20), it was due to natural causes. This is so sad, it seemed like he was recovering from what he suffered. He was a gentleman and he cared about his family, he was a good person. I regret not spending so much time with him lately. Wherever you are now, rest in peace my grandfather, I send you a hug, I love you very much, I will always remember you.
May he rest in peace
Mine too from Parkinson
My grandma passed away due to covid, i really can’t take it, i can’t sleep... i really miss her and want to see her for once at least
My son died tragically a year ago at 36...a massive heart attack and there was no goodbye..i get through everyday with a mixture of beautiful memories of my son Alex and the what ifs and whys......tragedy leaves you breathless.....his words help .....happiness in brief moments..

I just lost my husband at 34 due to cardiac arrest brought on by freak seizure at 38; I was with him since we were 23 & 27, I’m shattered.
sorry for your loss. I see everybody losing their dad and moms and husband wives but nothing compares losing a child 🥺😞😞😞😞😞 RIP 😢☹️
@@krumble_kat doesn't make my sorrow any less meaningful or impactful man, why would you even think to compare levels of grief from the loss of a close loved one?!!

My wife just passed a few weeks ago. I took care of her for 5 years, and the last few months were horrible for her. But, she had me loving her every step of the way. I treasure that awful experience of being with her to the end.
Jordan Peterson is going through a very difficult physical struggle right now due to the medications given to him during the time of his wife's health battle.
He has many who hate him but many many many more who care about him for speaking that which those who hate him do not want the people to hear and learn because he has opened many eyes.
I know God will heal him.
Amen, he's doing so much better ! Thank God! 🙏
I watched this video 2 days after my fiancé passed from brain cancer. Her wake and funeral were in the coming days---which I was so nervous about. I had never been in a funeral line before...never mind being the head of the line standing next to a casket with everyone looking at me---trying to understand how to act. I promised myself after this video I would be the strongest person there. She was strong while she was here going thru her treatment--never complained and always had a positive attitude about everything. I was strong for everyone that day--her family, my family, all her friends, all my friends, and most importantly her. I broke down many times before and after, and the grieving process is still very raw and real---however for those ~7-10 hours I focused on her strength to get me through. Anyone reading this about to going thru something similar--please accept my deepest condolences and know that you are strong enough to handle anything that is put in front of you.
Protect this man
You can hear the emotion in this man’s voice that he cares for humanity, he’s a real blessing on CZcams!
If you really loved someone in life then you will always love them in your mind.
I lost my dad 3 days ago, suddenly and unexpectedly. He was my best friend and biggest fan. We spoke everyday. I’m trying to find the strength I need to give him a proper eulogy, he deserves it. I’m just lost
Me too. My dad died suddenly on the 12th. We also talked every day. I don’t know how to process that he’s gone. Sending you ❤
My dad passed away this morning of Thanksgiving to severe COPD. I feel so numb. I didn't know I'd need to hear this today. .
May 4th, 2022.
I miss you very much, dad. Idk how or who to be without you here. I hope I get to experience your energy again.
My father passed away 2 days ago. The events unfold in such a way I was wrapping up work when I received a call from my sister I could identify from her voice something emotionally wrecking has occurred but I wasn’t sure what exactly? She inquired if I could board a flight with my current immigration status to which I responded tell me I am brave enough. I don’t know deep inside my heart I knew my whole world will be turned upside down after this call. She laid out to me “Dad’s no more” To which my first response was you don’t worry sister I will handle everything I didn’t have to force it just came to me naturally. I attended my father's funeral over a video call also provided moral support to my family as much as I could. I have pain but I also have this feeling like I know what my dad must’ve wanted me to do. He always told everyone how proud he is because of his children. I know he is not with me but he lives eternally in my values. 💝
I LOVE YOU DAD!!!
I wasn’t the strongest person in my Dad’s funeral. I teared up a lot and stayed mostly silent. Our family is still together but that void is undeniably sad. I don’t judge any of them when they’re having a rough time.
That's ok. How can everyone be the strongest. I think in reality he means the strongest you can be. My dad is coming to the end now. Cancer is breaking him down and I dread the funeral and weeks afterwards.
@@Shutityou I hope the best for you and your family, my brother has a rare leukemia and hopefully this last ditch treatment will work, I've been thinking about the end and after as well.
@@paratheus6970 thanks. His funeral was on Thursday. He was quite a man, and is to be found on quite a few CZcams videos playing his music and building boats. Never to be forgotten. Such is life.

Lost my beautiful gorgeous courageous angel wife 6weeks ago yesterday and all the feelings and mixed emotions come in waves,the numbness like walking in a woken dreamthen coming back to empty house that's no longer home imagining All the usual routines we done every day and realising she's not there and the sudden pain of that realisation hits like a bullet bringing you down to your knees like a wounded soldier and the tears burn like acid in your eyes just knowing that you'll never see them again in this life the uncontrollable grief of such pain is like no other wishing with all your might that it's all a bad dream yet knowing you'll never feel the same about life in the future because that person you were with for forty years was everything you lived for is like a light has gone out in your soul.Its the toughest lesson we all come to know when someone you love so deeply has gone.It can help if only a little when people like Dr Peterson can impart words deep and meaningfull with such emotion which let's us realise we really aren't alone in this trail of tears and pain.God bless one and all who are going through the same xx.
My father had died three days ago,i am here to tell anyone how still have his parents alive that you’re so lucky and you have so much but you don’t feel that right now,and you will only recognize how valuable what you have right now when you lose them,so i am telling that after i have already lost,but you still have a chance,spend as much time as you can with your parents because believe me, after they are gone you will wish that you spent every second in your life with them,do not let them need anything,do anything they want you to do even if you don’t want to do it,go to your father and mother and kiss their hands,glorify the bless that you have before it’s too late
My beautiful kind selfless mother passed away yesterday (March 11, 2022) and I cannot express the depths of my sorrow, sadness and the emptiness I feel. She was the most wonderful person I’ve ever known. She was the source of all joy, the rock and the life of our family. I really cannot see how I can recover when she seemed like she was going to make it. I just wish I had one more week, one more month and one more year with her. I pray pray pray I get to see her again.
Sorry Westfield for your loss,felt the same 7 years ago when mum passed away from cancer ,you will make it, by prayer and faith
@@hello4201 thank you
my grandpa passed away last night, i’m 17 and understanding this in a spiritual level is something one cannot understand with the things that go on in this world I really pray that you guys see what christ does for an individual and for a community.
I’m sorry bro. I can’t imagine how you feel. I’m sitting here struggling just thinking about when I will lose my grandparents. But I have hope because through Christ I will see them again no matter what❤️
I'm sorry for your loss David. You are on the right path to becoming stronger from this tragedy.
17 too. Loved one has cancer and it isn’t looking too good. We’ll be good. The only thing we can do is move on in their memory. I’m sure your grandfather would want you to be happy, making every meaningful memory you can with the people who are still here with you
Just lost my grandpa this morning. This comment section is so full of love it’s astounding. I hope you are doing well brother, reading you comment as well as everyone else’s has put my mind more at ease than anything else so far.
You can hear how he speaks with his heart.
I lost my grandma, almost two years ago, but still living without her is hard, knowing I cant bring her back hurts me.
hello, something similar happened to me yesterday, how is it going so far and what immediate guided steps should i take
any help is appreciated stranger
My mom died 3 days ago, I'm going through a lot of pain, she was only 58, I'm 28 (will be 29 this summer), I'm staying strong for her and in turn for me, but it's very hard and i cry a lot but i have to bury her, I don't have any relatives who can help me, but i have some friends who are helping me to get through it. Let us all stay strong, it's what they want for us.
I hope you are healing and being good to yourself.
My Father is dying and its breaking me into pieces but I will honour him living the best I can
@@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw Stay strong and have your last words with your father if you still can.
As for myself, I'm doing a little better, but these 3 months were an insane emotional rollercoaster and still are, and probably will be more to come. Taking it one day at a time the best I can, it's a very hard process.
I have lost my Mother.It hurts .There's no way around it but I've realised I have strength I didn't know I had.I imagine the last time she spoke to me and I don't want this memory to fade like most things do.Im afraid I'll forget her ways and wish I could guarantee to remember her because I feel a duty not to just move on .
How are you doing now ?
@@janussobyski6369 I'm doing better
This comment section is overwhelming 💔
I really hope Jordan gets the recognition he deserves in the future. His words are healing people that are literally in hell. Im crying reading all these comments.
Lost my mum in 2019 when I was 29. She was my only relative apart from my 7 year old. The only one who wanted to be in my life and wanted me to be in theirs. The only unconditional love I've felt. I have no one left for support. I'm just surviving right now and not living. I don't know how to make it stop hurting. I sometimes feel like if I scream loud enough, I'll wake up and she will be here, with it all just being a nightmare. Life is so hard at times. Having a support system will make or break you.
I hope things have gotten better for you.
i feel like that sometimes too, holler at me, i might listen at times BUT i promise never to shun a person like you, there might be tough love but some modicum of love and respect nonetheless
i just suffered a loss yesterday too
I lost my husband of 68 years, almost three months ago. Lost in grief is a truth. Just that. Lost in grief. No other words. Catholic Faith. I’ve buried my Mother and Father. I buried our child. I am missing Paul. And, I am very old.
Currently Loosing my Mom and grieving I’m 20 years old the pain is intense and I can totally feel your comment it’s been 10 months since you made it but I hope everything is well for you❤ Love you and whoever is out there loves you too
I'm very sorry about your husband, trust me I completely understand how you feel, I felt the same way when my wife past away June 4th 2018 grief is hard to deal with but we learn to live with it, where are you from ?.
My mother died on Monday, April 12, 2021, and I understand.
I miss her daily. She was the best mother in the universe.
I needed this message.
Monday, April 12, 2021 was the toughest day of my life. On the bright side, I only have to experience it once. Sometimes, I can’t believe my mother isn’t here.
My Condolences 🙏
@Morgan Chase 🙏
@Morgan Chase I’m working on it.
@Morgan Chase Okay. Sounds good.
@Morgan Chase Originally, I’m from San Jose, CA. I lived in Miami, FL. Currently, I’m in Columbus, OH.
It all came so fast, I prepared my self mentally for 5 months, but it's more painful than I thought, it hits me like waves.
I should have been even more attentive, we think time is endless, we waste posting pictures, creating fake world's on socialmedia, instead of being grateful and appreciate the moment😓 and then it's all gone.
I feel completely Lost and unsecure of my future.
Everything becomes unimportant after the loss........... I'm going to build a new future.
I kept repeating "I'll take care of the family", over and over again when I lost dad, as if something miraculous has happened, as if, I am ready for the job. Truth is, it took me 6 years to do the most common sense related stuff. I am slowly learning to allow myself to cry and get angry and sad at times. Sometimes I just lose it even around mum and I hate myself for that. But like Mr. Peterson said, I am slowly developing my character. I know, I won't be able to change myself completely but I will keep trying.
My dad's life carried a meaning, my life carries a meaning and I am trying to find it.
So anyone out there, who is beating himself, considering that he isn't a very good human being because he doesn't know how to deal with pain and life, please know, every LITTLE thing you are trying to do to take care of the pain in you and around you, counts. You are already in pain, you are crying to sleep, every other night or at every movie you watch you don't need guilt on top of it. May you find peace 🙏🤞🏼
I’m crying I lost my dad I miss him so much. I can’t believe it’s been 6 months. It feels like yesterday. I can’t believe I can never see him again and talk to him or hug him.
@miishallx @miishallx I am so sorry for your loss. As someone who has gone through this painful process and is still going through it, I can assure you one thing.....your pain is either gonna make you or break you, and your dad wouldn't want you to be broken.
Almost 7 years now, and I am just realising that. This pain is always gonna stay. So, use it to honour your father who wanted you to succeed and progress. I know it's not gonna be easy, but trust me, if you let this pain stay, years later, it will take a toll on you, and you'll end up in a depressing state. The dreams your dad saw for you will never be fulfilled.
So now, allow yourself to grieve, but also, know that you gotta continue working hard on your dreams and his dreams. His greatest dream would be to see you successful, and you have to gather yourself and somehow do it.
I never imagined that I would use my dad with a past tense. But here I am, I am trying to fight through depression myself, took me almost 7 years now, and trust me, being sad and miserable never helps anyone, especially those who are our loved ones. If your dad can see you, he will be so sad for being the reason for your sadness. So please start working in it already. Let this be his sacrifice for the positive turning point in your life.
You will miss him, you will cry, and you will feel like there is no purpose in life anymore......feel all that and then gather yourself up, think about his sacrifices, and get up and honour him. Now, you have a purpose to be a shoulder and a hope to those who have gone through similar experiences. That's what I am doing. Somewhere, he is watching you, hoping that his sacrifices won't go to waste. So please, for the sake of yourself and the rest of your family members, start working on your dreams and his dreams so that they can live, looking up to you.
I know it's hard right now, but try to still be grateful to whatever you have left. I used to think of this as some nonsense, but forgiveness and gratitude have saved me.
There is a show called Six Feet Under, if you can find it, watch it. Somehow, you'll find some sort of closure as it is about a family dealing with the loss of a loved family one.
Sending you lots of love, best wishes, and hugs. Please take care of yourself. Your dad wants that more than ever now. ♥️✨️
I lost my husband on 8-13-2023. He was of amazing moral character.
I'm very sorry about your husband, trust me I completely understand how you feel, I felt the same way when my wife past away June 4th 2018 grief is hard to deal with but we learn to live with it, where are you from ?..
My dad and granny passed away on June 2020. My mom literally survived from covid19. This summer was hell for me as I was burying my loved ones while taking care of my mother and yeah I had no time to realize the situation happening to me, it was about saving life of my mom and taking care of funerals since no one from friends and relatives even wanted to come to my city being afraid of the virus and no emotional things like sadness or a tragedy I felt inside as I was totally taken by responsibilities of "doing something" just myself with no one's help. Only few months later I realized that I and my mom remained alone in this world and there's no one really who care about you and your problems at all than you. I still cry every night reading father's last text messages when we were in a hospital together.
My deep and sincere condolences to you , I hope that you will have the strength to overcome this and move through this with honor. Much love to you
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to lose loved ones to covid19 while being isolated as well. I pray that God will be with you and give strength to you and your mother during this difficult time.
'And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.' (Revelation 21:4)

I lost my mom... Sending love to everyone who has lost a loved one.. After I lost her I gave up on life and still have bad days but I realized I'm blessed and her energy lives on... I just have to heal.. I'm learning.. I want to be happy again..
Hope you are doing ok 🙏 lost my mom to cancer 3 months ago
I lost my dad this morning. The last twelve hours killed me and my family in ICU. He had over twelve syringe drivers but his liver and kidneys packed in. He was a fighter. I hope to remember and focus on the good times. 😢
Sometimes the strongest person in the room is the one who allows themselves to actually feel. To cry. To make it OK for everyone else to feel.
I buried my father today. I may have failed to be the strongest person at my fathers funeral, but this experience is apart of the continual improvement of my character. And I believe my family is closer because of this experience.
My Condolences 🙏 To You And Yours
I lost my aunt just before Christmas 2022, when I first heard about it I wasn't crying immediately it was more like shock and disbelief. It was so sudden and out of nowhere, it didn't really hit until the next day. Now stepping inside her house with my uncle being there and all my childhood memories, it just breaks my heart. I can honestly say I've lost my mother twice, once in 2005 when I was 5 and now in 2022
My dad died tonight. Im so numb. I sang him Oceans by hillsong. He waited until the song was over… then took his last breath.
It was poetic. And i hope he was at peace. Love you dad.
I needed to hear this. My fathers death got to me very hard. Its never easy but I want it to be better. It is so lonely emotionally.
Lost my dear dad last Sunday. Its been such a hard week.
My dad has cancer and he is dying next too me and there's nothing I can do to help or to stop it from happening, I don't see how I will overcome this in the future but watching Dr Peterson gives me some hope that I will, I guess I'll be watching this video a couple of times a day in the coming months trying to not lose myself to grief
My heart breaks for you. I lost my dad a month ago because of cancer. The only difference was that we didn't know he had it, in fact we didn't know he was seriously ill at all, and we never got to say any goodbyes or anything and that breaks my heart. From my perspective, the best thing you can do with your dad is to try to come to as much of a conclusion as you possibly can - tell him that you will carry on with life and do him proud, tell him you love him, tell him you will look after mum etc. Cover all bases but also be strong. Try to keep him strong by not seeing you very upset. I just wished I had the same opportunity to speak to my dad before he passed...
The only thing I suggest that you do is make the best of it while he’s here. I just lost my dad to cancer on the 25th of January of this year. I regret not asking enough questions. Or waiting so long to know everything about him. I feel like there’s so much I didn’t ask. And I hate that I never did. Don’t ever be too busy for him.
@@gordonfreeman5958 Jesus loves you more than you could possibly know. He is our only true hope in this world. Allow me to share my best friend's story.. I pray it is a help to you.

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 lost my grandad to old age and now my sister to depression and I feel stuck in a hole with this i love them so much but there never coming back I guess just gotta be a man now love to everyone watching this and you got this 💛
I was pretty strong at my dads funeral but I admit I wasnt when my brother passed away,,
my friend just lost her little sister and dad in a car crash please pray for them
I'm so sorry this is tragic.
My mother passes away, this past saturday. This and Jocko Willink have helped me so much with their words of wisdom. I can't thank this man enough for his words.
The sadness that we now know was Inside this wonderful man
I lost my dad 4 days ago, he was my best friend and I saw him everyday. I am trying my hardest for my wife and kid to keep myself together, but it seems to be an impossible task.
Thanks for everything Dr peterson, you have helped me be a better person for years.
Watching this after losing my sister, and my mom is not in the best of shape. My mom woke up from what can simply be described as a coma a week after my sister's passing and we haven't told her yet. We really don't know how to and we don't want to make her condition any worse so we're waiting until she can talk and regain some of her motor functions. This has been a devastating year for my family, but Dr. Peterson's words ring true and can help guide people such as us through the darkest of times by reminding us that each of us has the power to bring in the light.
Sorry for your loss, I hope you’re doing well.
Jesus loves you more than you could possibly know. He is our only true hope in this world. Allow me to share my best friend's story.. I pray it is a help to you.

I’m losing my mother as we speak. Thank you Dr Peterson!!
I recently lost my dog (14 years) and I feel extremely numb. I’ve already lost too many people and I’ll cry like I’ll never never cry before. She was the greatest dog I’ve ever had and she was a best friend to me. RIP Pebbles, I’ll dearly miss u every day
Hey I hope you’re doing okay
My girlfriend just passed away from addiction this helped me I just wish there was more that could have been done she was only 29 dealing with severe depression and always turned to substances to dull her feelings this is the true epidemic in our world is the abuse of illegal drugs her death should be on our government for failures on a massive scale she needed help and nobody could help her that’s the issue in this world that needs to be fixed
This is exactly what I am gonna aim for this week. I lost my wonderful Dad, my hero two days ago. It hurts, but I have his love behind me always.
I watched my mother breathe her last breath yesterday at 12:58pm. She was stubborn, she twords then last years, about 15 or so, a good chunk. She was bitter...but she was my mom...unfortunately I couldn't spend as much time with her as I would have liked without putting myself into constant battles and arguments..certain ailments are harder than others to deal with..and sometimes they make it impossible to be around..this kills ne...thoroughly....and I feel guilty for it. 😢 I'm trying hard...really hard. I don't know how to even begin to navigate through this. I just hope people going through this are able to find peace..because anger surely is not the answer. It'd ALWAYS LOVE.
I lost last year my son at age of 21..for me is like Iost the world. I cannot be happy anymore and I can’t laugh anymore because for me my child was part of me . Our children represent ourselves. God may give strength to those who lost a family member
I lost my grandma last night. It's so devastating. She was my world. 💔💔💔
Ugh my heart! 😭❤ This man is a gift from God.
I lost my Dad last month, I really needed this.
Its very painful isn't it. I'm so sad to my dad
My moms 3 years are coming up and I found myself searching, ending up here. I’m grateful.
I lost my father on November 2, 2022, which was the most horrid and hard time of my life because my father has always been there for me! I've always loved my dad but as I grew older I spent less time with him because of school and doing things I wanted to do. But I regretted not spending the time with him because I start to see how fast life goes and how much you should take time for granted. I cried every day hoping for the good fortune that my father would pull through and come home from the hospital, but that never happened. So, whenever I see a memory or a place about my father, I burst out crying and remember the time I spent with him. All I have to say is, spend time with the person you love, don't always think about anything else because you only have one life, if they ask you to do something with them, do it because it could be your last!
So, from my perspective, losing someone is hard and you'll never forget them if you genuinely charice the time you had with them!
Losing my father has really ripped me up inside im still trying to recover more mentally from it.. Its getting close to a year now im better in some ways but yes there will always be a sadness in my heart for my best friend my teacher my hero. I owe my father so much and i know that he would want me to be the best i could give to myself and my loved ones. Sadness is not weakness its being human. PEACE & LOVE to everyone dealing with lose.
So sorry for your loss. Lost my Dad on Friday. I feel like I'm in a nightmare. I'm barely coping & getting through each day.
🙏💔
Just loss my Dad 3 days ago. I'm taking pretty hard because he was such an amazing man and father. This will sting for a while bit I know he's in God's hands. No more pain and sorrows. I love you Dad and will miss you as long as I'm alive ❤️
My dad died 11 years ago and I remember him all the time because he was such a great father to me . It still hurts to this day but the more time passes the more I concentrate on all the great times and don't suffer so much for losing him .
Does it get any easier? Lost my dad 4 days ago and I feel like the world is crashing down.
Man the hurt in his voice is heartbreaking
Watched this after hearing my grandfather passed away... helped me be there for my family and give my hero the funeral he deserved.
