So true .it's not easy to lose the one and only love you know. Memories beautiful memories will last forever. RIP my dearest husband. Missing you beyond words.
This wonderfully short presentation was "right-on-target".....beautifully well done. Thank you.
I've read every comment under this video. Seriously, my heart goes out to all of you. If I had only known that life could be this dark for this long. It's like they always say, you don't know what you've got until it is gone. I feel as though I already died and am waiting for my final breath. None of the breaths up to the last seem to matter. If anything, each moment is hell. I have BPD and have experienced enough loss and hell, I think I found the final straw. I'm not suicidal, but I'm not happy about existence. At least I had a good moment once.
I love you too 😢 im rreally struggling i cant get out of bed its been 5 months guild shame regret
I think I feel and understand your comment deeper than any other I've ever read(on YT)
I believe life is a gift, but not that my life exactly is. Somehow, this world, American society, feels like the 4th or 5th ring of hell(if it even exists). I'm often upset and even angry when I wake up. Most of the things I have or get in life feel like a consolation prize when what I really want and desperately need is so simple. Yet, I've never had it.
No matter how hard I seek or try. I don't know if I should just give up and give in, but there's such a strong compulsion in me to keep going.
I have planned my death. I do want to at least decide that part because so much already is out of my control and has been taking from me.
I'm not going to tell you any of that conventional wisdom bs.
But I do hope you're still around to read this. ❤
@ayemiksenoj5254 I appreciate your comment and thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm still here, and I'm still trying to find a new purpose to keep working toward. I have had some small success since I posted this comment, and my day to day existence has improved. I started investing more in myself and now allow myself to get proper sleep. I still slip into crushing low depression from time to time. But the majority of my time has more purpose and direction. I'm just happy that I don't have to do this forever, and one day, I will eternally rest. I'm not afraid of that time coming, but I'm not planning it either. If I can live through the hardships to get to a natural death, I can concquer my final moment no matter how it plays out.
I appreciate your response so much. I lost my wife 3 weeks ago and no question, I am in complicated grief. I can't sleep so I'm exhausted all the time, appetite is barely there, can barely get outta bed. It's so debilitating and I'm struggling to find my purpose here. I have no desire to go on and I've never felt this way. I'm scared to ask for medication bc I don't want any level of addiction to occur, but something has to give. I can't keep living like this. Praying for you as well and thank u for sharing.
6 months ago, my dad and best friend went. It's getting harder as I progress in my own life. We both loved Christmas and over decorating like crazy. This season I started a solo side gig for some extra money decorating people's houses and boy oh boy, putting the lights up and taking them down to the gratitude of happy strangers beat the tar out of me. I don't know if mine is complicated I just know the more I go forward, the more I realize I won't get another 'atta boy' from my father and it kills me.
When friends or family tell me how proud he'd be of what I'm doing all I can think is, "I KNOW!"
I knew this would hurt a few years ago when his COPD went into later stages but when it's real, it's an entirely different beast. This is profoundly, soul crushingly painful. The farther I get from that last day the less I can picture his smile or sound of his laugh at a good joke. Maybe that's why it's getting harder? I don't know.
I know I'll keep progressing and getting my life/career and down the road dating life on track, not a doubt in my mind. I just want my buddy to enjoy the ride too!
If you're new to your grief, do not worry too much, the worst thing in the world already happened; but also understand this will rock you to your core, make absolutely no mistake.
Cheers Dad, say hi to Mom... yes, again - I'll see you guys in several decades.
*Really wish you would've written down your chili recipe.
community support is almost impossible in most cases you face all alone
That's true 💔
Long lasting intense feelings sums it up. Such a profound loss for me. 😢
I have no idea if mine is complicated or not. It has been three years and I'm still trying to go on..I promised him I would not die of grief. Losing my beloved husband has made my life more challenging and difficult. I will never be the same, but I know I must rebuild, or least, create a new life for myself.. it hurts. I miss him terribly.
my heart goes out to you.....I lost my beloved wife over a year ago now...in some ways it feels like yesterday. I miss her every day. It's as if I lose her each day she's not here..much love.
When community support is not available keep a journal.
Thank You..:(
short and completely on the spot. What should one do?
I have a channel completely devoted to what one can do for self-care specifically around grief following the death of a loved one. Grief is an entire process, so I add to the convo from the angle of a clinician (professional background) and the experience of being human and dealing with loss (pulling the weight of grief while life does that thing where it never stops piling up). As time permits feel free to check it out:

Doesn’t look like anyone has an answer yet.
Between my hisbamd and I, we lost 3 parents in 15 months. One was a suicide. Its been 16 months since the last death, which was my mom. I took care of her the last two years while she battled small cell cancer. I feel like im stuck in a loop. I feel better for a day or two then i fall right back into depression. I cant seem to pull myself out and its scary. Im physically ill 2-3x a week from anxiety. Ive been in and out of depression my whole life. This is the worst i have experienced by far! I think its time to see a doctor 😫
2 years without my dog. I just want my heart back 💔💔💔. Sometimes i cry like I just lost him
My mom has always had psychotic grief and she is not a safe person
The fastest growing complicated grief these days is due to parental alienation caused by adult children.
or parental abondonment and neglect , no acknowledgement for poverty in my case and no reaction , ghosting me , no birthday card no phone call no christmas card and years of alienation and alexythymia which is primarily the result of trauma, emotionally blocked etc.
