  • Her proudest accomplishment continues to be when she was blocked on Twitter by President Donald Trump. Lynn has a B.F.A. in Theatre from Adelphi University, where she went on to teach courses in acting and stand-up comedy for the past 16 years. You can see more of her work at ripthelifeiknew.com.
    Stand-up comedian, actor and writer Kelley Lynn has performed in the same lineups with Amy Schumer, Jim Gaffigan and Elayne Boosler. Lynn is probably best known for her comedy videos on CZcams; her most recent video, “I’ve McFallen,” has been viewed over 50 million times worldwide. She’s also known for her scathingly funny TV reviews of shows like “The Bachelor” and “Dancing with the Stars.” The latter show’s host, Tom Bergeron, tweeted that Lynn was “witty and wonderfully snarky.”
    Lynn is also a regular presenter at the “Soaring Spirits International” annual events called “Camp Widow,” a three-day conference held in the U.S. and Canada for widowed men and women. She is currently writing her first book, My Husband Is Not a Rainbow: The Brutally Awful, Hilarious Truth About Life, Love, Grief, and Loss, with a tentative release date of winter 2017. Her proudest accomplishment continues to be when she was blocked on Twitter by President Donald Trump. Lynn has a B.F.A. in Theatre from Adelphi University, where she went on to teach courses in acting and stand-up comedy for the past 16 years. You can see more of her work at ripthelifeiknew.com.

    I pray for everyone watching this video because I think we're all watching this for a reason. Don't ever let someone tell you not to talk about your past loved ones or to stop mourning them. I honor the people I've lost every day and that is the only thing that makes me happy and keeps me going. I will keep doing it no matter what happens or who says anything and you all should continue doing the same as long as it brings you some kind of peace.

    Grief for a loved one is the loneliest place you can be. Or so I've found. I lost my boyfriend of 4 years suddenly and unexpectedly in February this year. 2/20/22. The next day I found my engagement ring in his room. I had lost my dad 3 months prior and my dog of 17 years only a month before. This has been the loneliest 10 months of my life. I will never get over him and moving on without him is the hardest thing I have ever tried to do. I needed to hear this speech. I'm working on myself but it is a lonely and sad existence. Thank you for these understanding and heartfelt words.

      Be good to yourself, buy yourself something every week,force yourself to go somewhere nice, find a new hobby or give more attention to an old one and at first it will be difficult but there is an old saying of time heals and it really does, i know because i have lived it too, pop down to your nearest homeless dog shelter too, its amazing the work they do and you may find a new 4 legged friend who hasn't anyone that cares xxxx

      Talking about your loved one and being able to sit in your grief is healthy. No one ever knows how long it will take to be able to deal with the loss of a loved one. There are so many stages of grief and they can come in your heart at any moment. For me, what we do with our grief honors our loved one that has passed on. I heal when I get to hold people up as they loose loved ones. Sitting with people in their grief is humbling and full of the people for whom I’ve lost. Extending my love for others, gives the ones that have passed on their legacy even when they are not here anymore. They now live through me. Blessings to all of you.

    A quote, not sure who said it, "People die twice. First there is the physical dying of your body, second is the last time that your name is spoken aloud. " We can't change the first, but the second death....we can change. Keep that loved one in your thoughts, speak their name, don't be afraid to tell their story. You never "move on" you carry on. The greatest gift you can give your loved on is the gift of never forgetting. Beautiful ted talk, given in a beautiful way. Thank you

I gave up a year of my life to take care of Mom until she passed from lung cancer almost exactly a year after Dad left her. That year was very hard but I am so glad I gave her that gift. She gave up so much to give me life when she was only 17, back in 1963 that was very hard. I am so grateful we had a year to spend together and really reconnect.

      I feel the same way. We have no choice. We HAVE to go on and live because others love us. My mom died of covid February 2021. I understand and accept that God, in His sovereignty, allowed this to happen, but I can't find joy in being here. All the positive things are of no eternal value and the negative hurts so it seems to me that it's better to be with the Lord and my mother. I won't hurt myself because I love my family but I would much rather be with my mom. I have also found that my pain is my connection to my mother. Memories, are just that ...memories. The only thing that is a REAL experience is the pain I feel of losing her. I am hanging on to that pain because that is all I have that is truly a connection to her. I would gladly trade that pain for a nightly dream of her.. the kind that feel SO REAL. The kind where you could feel the pressure of her touch! But I have only had one of those. Of if I had "unusual" experiences where I just KNOW that it's her. As of now, my pain is my comfort and I will never "move on".

    When I lost my wonderful husband, I learned many things. The most important one? You need to make room in yourself ~ your brain or your heart, or both, for your new, and constantly evolving grief. I’ve tried locking grief up, because it’s so bothersome. It appears at the worst times, when you least expect it, and is like a stubborn child it WILL have its say. In the beginning, you wonder how to control this monster, because after all you have a life to finish living. I controlled it by giving it 30 minutes a day. I choose the time, and I timed its allotment. When 30 minutes was up, so was grief’s hold on my day. Gradually, like a satisfied child, the grief quieted, and went into dormancy. It will rise up, during a drive, and music coming on the radio, at movies, filled with emotion, and with memories; but I’d be lying if I told you it ever disappears, because it doesn’t. It’s like a wound with a scab, it’ll get smaller over time, but it will leave a scar to remind you it was there. We each find our way through those dark days, and gradually you begin to live again. My husband gave me the very best gift. A life with nothing left unsaid, and with no regrets. He always told me “we are not promised tomorrow, so we have to live for today”. Good luck to all going through it. You are not alone, as many have been there before you. ❤️

    My mom passed away two days ago. I wasn’t even with her for the last goodbye. I talked to her a night before when I asked her to sleep properly and take care of her health and she reassured that she is taking care of herself and that I should not worry at all. Imagine my horror when I received the news the very next morning. It is excruciatingly painful. Her voice, her face, her sweet smile, I don’t want to forget anything. I will never forget her. She is going to stay forever in my heart, in my memories. The path in front of me is scary. I don’t know how I’ll survive without my mother’s advice, I don’t know who will I work hard for in the future. I just want to remember her forever. The pain is too much but I could only hope to get to meet her soon. I love you so much mumma.

The fact is if you really loved them up until that moment they were taken away from you, then you will always love them till the day you pass yourself. Yes, we have to carry on as best we can with our own lives, but when you have had that love in your life, it never goes away, it will always remain with you.

      Souls have their mission and that includes how and when they take their exit. If you can talk to loved ones who passed they would probably scold you for thinking you could have prevented how they passed. People live their lives to get experience for the soul and when that is accomplished they leave, never mind their earthly connections that they leave behind. Those who are left behind for them there is a lesson also, so let go and focus on how you live going forward - your loved ones will always be a part of you now....so do not be stuck in the period of their death...but remember your soul also has a mission and being in their life was part of that...you are still here...why?!

When the baby is born we grieve that baby and everything that baby will go through, throughout its life, all the hardships and pain.

    I've come to a point where I'm so comfortable with death I embrace it's part of life. Not in a morbid sense, but the beauty it reveals from how much a loved one moved us. I've lost my friend from college to cancer in 2016. My aunt last year to the same disease. This year my cousin tragically lost her premature baby. Followed by my grandmother who died in peace at age 101. Nothing will justify forgetting their existence, let alone my nephew who didn't get a chance of living a grown life. Nor my grandma who lived her fullest life. They're irreplaceable.
    It meant as much to my cousin to carry her son and love him to the end. Talking about him is her healing process. I speak of him because he still exists in our hearts, among all those I've mentioned. Grief is a healthy expression of the human soul. The more we oppress it, the less connected we are to life overall. Thank you for this beautiful message.❤️

Then my Mom died six months ago at age 97 and I've been a mess every single day since. Can't sleep, can't eat, don't want to go anywhere and thoughts of my husband and his life being cut short now haunt me. I'm going to my first counseling session in a few days because this acute grief is exhausting and I'm needing some tools to ease the pain.

    Just lost my beloved husband on 5/29/23, had his services 6/8/23. We have a 2 YO baby girl. Our world is completely turned upside down and I find it so difficult to do even the simple small things. He was part of everything and every day of our lives. I’m so struggling with just breathing and waking and sleeping. The pain is paralyzing. And his side of the family attacking me makes it even worse. I’m asking God for help because I don’t know how to navigate this life without him. Please pray for me.

    My hero, my best friend, aka my father died when I was 11. I have achieved what is considered a fairly prestigious degree in the mental health field, not that it REALLY matters or anyone cares, but it did help conceptualize the many theoretical/neurological models surrounding grief. During discussions with family/friends/clients, I get spoken to as if I have grief figured out. If I understand it so well, I must not experience the gamma and pains of old losses. It’s funny, no matter what clinical understanding I have
    of grief, it doesn’t matter. It never has mattered. Somewhere deep within my core exists a small child waiting for his father to come back through that door again. His heart is made up. No matter how many times I challenge the boy with affection, love, and explanation, he stays the course. He forever waits for things to go back to a way that cannot exist anymore. I finally accepted him years back. When I know he’s there, I give him all the love I can because he’s my dad’s son. Innocent, unconditional, pure, and always yearning to be reunited with his father.
    Bless you all my friends.

In a place where I come from, we usually say that the surviving sibbling loses part of him/her. My eldest sister died 7 years ago and our mother followed 4 years later. Everyone in the family seems to have moved on except me, and they can't comprehend why I have not been able to forget about them?

    “Taking away someone’s connection to someone that they love, what purpose does it serve?” Such a powerful statement. Hate it when people think it’s irrelevant when you talk about the person you miss the most, who you won’t ever get to see again.

      Not dead, but they're been gone nine years. As good as dead.

      What's even more aggravating is to hear that kind of advice from a person who has never lost a loved one... someone who tries to justify showing their sympathy. They have no Idea what losing someone close feels like. They should take their advice about moving on and shove it into the "Crematorium of bad advice"!

    Im 16, and my died dad died after fighting in the hospital for a month, I wasn’t there for his last day. It’s impossible to move on when he was my life, I would go home and he would be there, but now he’s not, and I just live with my grandma now. Everyday day it feels like I’m just waiting for him to come back but every time reality sets in it hurts so much

      you story is amlost exactly the same as mine,my father died when i was 15 after fighting blood cancer for a month in the hospital (4 years out of the hospital) though we always felt like he’s healthy and always was home when i came back from school and i never felt like i had a sick father to the point that i didn’t expect that he would actually die on some level. for me what comforts me is that i believe he’s in peace weather he’s conscious or unconscious and that he lived his full life and i don’t have any unresolved issues with him,the only thing i would’ve wanted is to know a little more about him and live with him a little bit more
      sometimes i miss the sound of his voice and the look of his hand,his smile,his face
      but hey everybodys time runs out and his had to,mine is still going,i can’t go to him know i have to live,and that’s what i’ll do,its what he would’ve wanted to anyways.
      so live a little
      live through him
      to him
      whatever way you want to
      just remember he’s waiting out here for you anyway,just waiting till you come back from school.

    I am lost. I just lost my dad. Out of nowhere. He was my go to. My person. The fixer. The one who held everything together. The one who I went to when i needed that healing love and hug. He was here this morning, when I left for work. I was just leaving work when I got a call from my mom, that my dad had fallen while walking the dog. I thought I was rushing to a scene where he had fallen and severely twisted his ankle or broken his leg. Instead, he was taken away in an ambulance and he was in such a state, that my mom was told she could not ride along in the ambulance. She was told by first responders, that she was not allowed to ride to the hospital, with the love of her life and her best friend, while she believed he was suffering. She knew. By the time I arrived, in under 5 minutes, she was a wreck. She looked at me and said "it's really bad. Very bad." Within the time it took to drive to the location, get my mom and the dog, drop the dog off at home and speed to the hospital, I already had the feeling I would never get to speak to my father, ever again. I was right. Just as my mom had said. I don't even know where to go from here. He was my rock. The fixture of our family.

    Dear Everyone in the comments.
    If I could hug all of you I would. If I could sit with you and listen to your memories of your loved ones, I would. If I could have met the one you speak of, I would have been blessed to have even known them. We all should treat each other in such a way we would have wanted others to treat the one we so long to speak with again. Every person that walks by us is loved dearly by someone and they will be missed dearly by someone one day. Let’s all honor the ones we love with honoring each other❤️🙏

    My wife of 30 years died in 2019, she had cancer and died in Hospice where I accompanied her for those short 3 hrs. ,in not letting her pass alone ,in Dignity and with my love for her,, this after a heart attack and suffering hypoxia that happened while I took our Dog out in the yard for his morning business and came back to find her !!
    My insensitive comments came from my Family ,heard all those things from my loved ones ,,which is the most hurtful from my supposed only support system left !!
    Thank God for my inlaws and some of my longtime friends who had the compassion to understand and be of support !
    Three years after and countless sleepless nights full of rage for the people who were in lack of compassion in my loss !!
    I am still lost ,,and can't tell you how much this video means in support of my search for myself ! Thank You very much ,this renewed my spirit far more than many ,,I appreciate you for sharing ,and will send to my personal family members in hopes it reaches their heart in understanding about compassion and great loss !!!
    Very relatable ,,Thank You again !!

    Exactly how am right now. Lost my son who died in a MV accident in 2014 just after his 18th birthday. He was a first year med student and was studying on campus when a young lady asked him to accompany her to get food and she crashed in another vehicle. Am still devastated because ever so often it sinks into your vision. Even today, I had an ‘out of body’ experience from thinking about the whole thing. Am happy to have found this video this evening as its an affirmation that am not living a lie. Am so tired of people trivializing my grief. He who feels it, knows it. Thanks for sharing .

No knows where my brother is so he still does not know his daughter died. I’m so broken over this I don’t know what to do. My heart goes out to you and I’ll be praying for you tonight. I wish you peace.
