I have never heard it presented so perfectly before. 'You cannot have joy without pain, resilience without challenges, happiness without sadness, bravery without fear. These things are not opposites, they are partners.' I have heard it presented as one causing or requiring the other, relegating it as a bad thing to endure for reward. The idea that the difficult is not working against you, but rather a creative force of a different kind is strangely comforting to me somehow.
Laurel Braitman’s talk on her father’s final days is incredibly touching. It's a reminder of the importance of being prepared for life's uncertainties. One way to ensure peace of mind is by working with a financial advisor who can help you plan for the future and make informed decisions, ensuring financial stability in challenging times. 💼✨
Watching Laurel Braitman share lessons from her father's final days really hit home. It’s a powerful reminder to plan ahead, especially financially.
The lessons Laurel Braitman shares from her father’s final days are truly poignant. It's a stark reminder of the need for preparedness in all aspects of life, including finances. Partnering with a financial advisor can help you create a plan that ensures you and your loved ones are taken care of, no matter what. 💖📈
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over 800k.
Could you recommend your advisor? I'll be happy to use some help.
How I wish both my father and mother held no grudges towards each other and believed that there’s always something hopeful for the future…
Bravo! I was listening with tears with my eyes and I'm going to call my parents.
I'm a hospice social worker and this talk helps tremendously. I'll use your words to help the families I serve
Sadly happy and happily sad... Wonderful....
Thank you so much for this sharing. I can have the same feeling with you, My father has go to far away in recent months. He died in the hospital due to cancer, and I also received the phone call from hospital. I do not have any chance to meet my father in the last moment.
"Everyone deserves the chance to say goodbye" I cried when you said that. I really want to meet my beloved father at that moment. I really really miss him
Regret is the most painful 😢💔
Thank you ❤
Imagine knowing that your parents are going to die but can't help it... Never want it to happen to anybody...
This is a sign to call your loved ones and tell them you love them.
The depth of her words!
I really enjoyed watching this video
I hope she lives a better happy life without suffering 💕
I would like to qualify the assertion made in this talk on two inter-related counts: The level of maturity at which one needs to face trauma is important. Just as we may fall and end up having nothing but a scratched skin, or we may fall and have a broken limb, or we may fall to our death, there are different levels of trauma that one can bear. Second, there is a book by, I think, D. W. Winnicott. The book is titled: "Maturational Processes and Facilitating Environment." The title is candid enough. One can bear through a trauma if there is sufficiently robust support system.
Thanks for sharing.
I too had a Dad who tried to prepare me for living or dying.
I cannot find it in me to fault him anymore he knew no better.
He passed in 1998 very much not wanting to pass away.
Not a day has gone by that I don’t miss him somehow.
Damaged by my own stupidity and his heavy handed behaviors.
The shattered pieces of what is supposed to be success blossomed into a huge cow pie.
I am not ungrateful I have had a rich life and have enjoyed oh, so many, many chances.
But until I understood my life from not my perspective but on how my life ahas ffected
all of you, my delopement as a human being was stunted and for that I ask forgiveness even though I feel I have little right to it. Tha only reason I am still around is to be a better man today.
Beautifully stated! So much heart!
it is so weird. Somenone talks about their life and experiences to people in order to teach something with great impressive. But you listen to that story only for learning
putting here my heart,l wanna thank you million times as you did teach us today that it is never too late to value those who mean a lot to us 💙🙏🏼
So beautiful and touching... Appreciate for sharing your story.
You are still good! He loved you, just as you are.
That made me realise about how the life works, truely Said we couldn't have joy without pain❤
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
It was perfect on her explanation, good pronounciation
What an excellent lecture❤
I found life has an order of hapiness and sadly thing,
so I want to think everything positive.
Good mention. Nothing is divided. Simply wow
Simply Wow.
Beautiful .. so much to learn.
Profound!
I hope she still works with those bereaved kids.
I missed saying the last goodbye to some of my loved ones too... Don't worry love, the real reason for that is we never expected them to leave. And we used to always see them again so...
it's so hard to watch but learned a lot
Thank you❤

God loves you and cares for you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this large universe and controls it completely. The greatest loss a person loses in this life is that he lives without knowing God who created him and knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. Great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and after that you have the choice to believe in it or not to believe in it. I advise you to do this now, before you no longer have time to do so. Life is very short. It is just a test, just a passage to eternal life. Great advice to those who... Understands
There is no god.
