Missing someone doesn't always have to be sad... Being happy for em or finding peace IS possible and it's what I'm aiming for. The sadness goes away too, I just don't know how to get there. :p
@@Chang1202 Jesus Christ is the only answer. Please allow me to share my best friend's story with you. This family truly knows where to turn in times of grief. 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.

Summary- 1. Your chest might feel tight, painful, or sinking into your stomach. 0:54 2. You may be extremely focused on reminder of your loss or be extensively avoidant towards them. 1:37 3. You feel like you are getting sick more early, or taking longer to recover from your sickness. 2:33 4. You’re still showing signs of stress. 3:04 Hope you have a good day. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone who celebrates!
This hits hard.. this is the first Christmas completely by myself. I lost my dad nearly 5 years ago and my mom 16 years ago. I have been celebrating with siblings and family friends for the last five year but this year with being in a new state, by myself and the pandemic has made it feel so isolating. I am only 28, but I wish more than anything to see my parents again. Thank you for this video psych 2 go, this resonates a lot especially today. Thank you. Merry Christmas all. I hope you all have a happy holiday. ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss. I just lost my dad to cancer 4 days ago and it's still painful and suffocating. The pandemic really made everything a lot more difficult. Stay healthy and take care, happy holiday to you, too❤
Once your parents are gone your really on your own. And it's an awful feeling. But they are always with you in spirit. I swear that my mom sometimes sends me signals and messages from above. So I guess she's watching over me and so are your parents🙂But yes, it would be awesome to reunite with them again.......
It took me over 10 years to feel ok after my 2nd husband and I split. Fortunately, I now remember the good times and bad with ease but I will always miss the friend I lost.
I know exactly how you feel. It’s taken me almost a year to get over him. I’m almost over him and I am much happier but I went through a lot this year because of our break up. It DOES get better. Surround yourself with people you love and do things that you love to do. I promise things will improve with time. Lastly, seek a therapist. They are very helpful during this fragile time.
If you need someone to talk to or some guidance please let me know, I’m more than happy to help. I can give you my Instagram and we could talk on there. My ex and I broke up twice and the second time for good. So believe me when I tell you our experiences are super similar and might be able to help.
🤗🤗🤗 for you .😔😢😭 Sorry for your loss.Keep all your memories close to your heart and in your mind.I pull them out when I start to miss my babies.I still feel sad but it makes me smile and thankful for the time I had with them.
I'm running out of teardrops, my body aches from bad posture and no physical activity, i can't focus during the day, i can't sleep during the night, I'm stressed and too sensitive about small events and conversations... Even tho i reached acceptance, I'm still in pain. It's been 2 months since i lost a family member and i know it's too early to expect feeling better, but at this point i have no will and energy to live on. It's truly terrible, i only wish health and safety to everyone who happens to read this comment. Take care of yourselves
Sorry to hear that you’re going through this, and I recommend meditation there are studies that shows meditation can help with stress, anxiety or depression. ru-vid.com/group/PLQiGxGHwiuD1kdxsWKFuhE0rITIXe-7yC Link about why Meditation works www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/feeling-it/201309/20-scientific-reasons-start-meditating-today
hang in there....i was feeling like this too, daily, and 6 months later things finally got better. slowly, but surely, it will. just hold on tight to your faith, whatever that might look like. alternative therapy (EFT) helped me a lot, as did surrounding myself in nature and with loved ones. my doggy was a blessing too...
I lost my mom a little over a month ago. On my birthday. She died on my birthday...it seems surreal. My other family members seemed almost afraid that it happened on that day, like it means something. I haven't had any sign or feeling of her around me, like I did when my dad died. I think she is sad because one of her sisters treated me cruelly at the funeral. Can you imagine? ...being treated without compassion at your mom's funeral? It happened to me. I worry that my mom can't move on because of what happened. Maybe that sounds crazy, but maybe some of you might understand what i mean. I hope there is an afterlife and I hope my mom isn't sad or stuck in-between because of sad or angry feelings about it.
Hang in there...I have felt this twice in my life a divorce which took.me 2 yrs to somewhat fully recover and my my son arrested and is in prison and for this 2nd tragedy I had to pray to God whom I didnt believe in or at least thought he didnt care to have any thing to do with me and suddenly I started to overcome, but I'm still struggling a bit with my son being in prison but it has gotten better I still have my good and bad days hang in there.
I lost my dad in January. Everything reminds me of him, sometimes it makes me smile and other times its like a stab in my heart. I have my fathers eyes, so at first I couldn't even look in the mirror. The last thing he told me was that everything's going to be ok. I believe that; somehow everything's going to be ok. To anyone who's going through something similar and feels alone, my heart aches with yours but we'll get through this 💛
Grief is most understood to be about death .. but it’s so much more .. it’s also a life undiscovered .. what coulda shoulda been .. it’s a very deep emotional experience to explore . I hope you find your way and can experience life on the other side
One true thing about pain is that even though we get through it, we see a reminder of them and it's still there, we never truly get over the people nor pets, that we loved! But can still get by!
hello friends, I’m gonna say right now that you are amazing and you deserve love and please do self care right now do soemthing you like please xoxo ✨🙏💅😌
I'm so sorry to hear that. 😢 My father passed away in February last year and my family is still frozen in grief it seems. My physical and mental health have suffered quite severely. Mourning is a very personal thing and there is no specific time when you will suddenly 'snap out of it'and feel better. Gradually the feelings of loneliness and despair become less strong and are replaced by a sort of ache you carry around but sometimes forget about. Then as more time goes on you learn to live again, the times you feel the ache become less and less frequent. But if you feel like these is no end in sight to your pain or you just can't cope anymore please contact your doctor or let a loved one know. The service mentioned in the video, online counselling, might benefit you. The world might be very different at the moment but you can still receive support for your loss. Take care 💖🌼 xx
@@Georgia.J I'm sorry for your loss. Losing a family member is the worst thing that can happen to a person.. The grief is definitely not easy to handle. I have my dog who has kinda forced me to get out of the bed every single day. My dog and the support from my dad has helped me a lot. I hope that you have some supportive people or pets around you as well. I hope you're doing ok. Stay strong! 💕
Me too… it fuckin sucks… I’m starting to lose grip mentally I’m not as motivated at the gym. I can’t get a relationship all cause I’m just mentally stressed and depressed. I miss her so fucking much, I wish I could hug her one more time and feel her warmth again.
When you meet someone special and invest so much of your time with them you think that you and them are inseparable but think again all of it can be over and you’ll drown in regret.
My grandfather that I was really close to died almost 4 years ago. Since his death my depression has worsened significantly and I still can't move on. In tbe first 2 years I'd cry myself to sleep thinking about him. I moved to the uk from a different country 6 years ago and I could only see him during holidays and summer. I still feel guilty because I feel like I didn't spend enough time with him. And before his death he was grieving too, not only from his wife's death but also from the fact I couldn't see him often. I miss him so much. Christmas isn't the same without him.
Sum: 1. Your chest might feel tight, painful, or sinking into your stomach 0:52 2. You maybe extremply focused or reminder of your loss on be excessively avoidant towards them 1:35 3. You feel like you are getting sick more easily, or taking longer to recover from your sickness 2:33 4. You still showing signs of stress 3:04 Phew late, i have a bad day :( and its Christmas..... wow
I think my grief is unresolved and complicated... Last year I lost a school friend to suicide, and I feel all of those symptoms listed. It’s been “a year” and I’ve heard from some that I should just get over it or “but it has been a year already”, but whenever I actually think (or let myself think about it) I get panicky, I cry, I shiver and I feel like re experiencing the whole news of the loss all over again. It also happens that it comes in waves and just hits me, and I cry randomly ... it’s as if the floor beneath me is just gone. I feel so guilty, I dont believe that I’m allowed to grieve, as I never truly grieved nor got closure because you’re excepted To “FUNCTION” all the time, and people want you to be alright.
A year really isn't much time at all. You don't "get over" something like this, you eventually learn to cope. The people telling you to get over it have obviously never lost anyone and they've got some shocks coming. There's no timetable for grief. You'll deal with it as and when you feel able to. Given the circumstances, this is normal.

What a lovely and compassionate video. There’s a lot of pressure to get over a loss too quickly before there has been time to integrate the new reality into one’s life. I really hope this video provides comfort to people in pain. Wishing you a wonderful 2021 and thank you for all your hard work creating videos this year. Love from London England. ❤️
If you're showing any of these signs, just know that there are people who'll listen to you if you want to talk about it. You're not alone. People might not feel your pain, but there are people who will have a shoulder for you to cry on.
@@anthonyleighton4754 Well it could be hard since most of the males are told that "Men don't cry". But gender thing apart, if anyone feels uncomfortable in sharing then may be that person should talk to a therapist or could maintain a secret journal and write their experience on the times when they face these symptoms. I am not a therapist but these are a few things that i tried. Also, try breathing techniques of you get a panic attack. And, it's okay to not trust people sometimes, just trust yourself first.
Well what did I except from 4 deaths in a year and a loss of my entire friend group 😖 (don't worry I'm going to get my mom to take me back to my counselor)

A Portuguese poet once said: "Love is a beautiful flame that burns bright without being seen." I, more than anyone, can confirm how that sentence is truthful. I once lost the woman I love the most, but that beautiful, bright flame that bound us still lives on. I will never let that flame extinguish. I will do whatever it takes to make it stronger, to make it unexstinguishable. We are born with two, legs, two arms, two ears, two eyes but only one heart... because, we're supposed to find the other one.
11 years ago, I lost my dad to cancer. Every single year in November is a grim reminder that he's no longer with me. Some days I cry my eyes out because I miss him so much. I look at our pictures together and my heart aches and my tears just won't stop. Losing a parent is something that you will never truly get over, but over time, things do get easier. He passed away when I was 13, and I'm 24 now. Sometimes my mindset goes back to that vulnerable little girl that cries out for her father, begging him to come back. And sometimes I smile because he isn't down here suffering. Grief works differently for other people. Some people grieve for maybe a year or so, and some people grieve for the rest of their lives. It isn't easy. No matter who or what you've lost, always remember that everything will be okay. You're stronger than you realize and you WILL get through this. Just don't give up. ❤
Hi, Psych2Go and everyone who'd read this. It has been more than a decade since I lost my most cherished grandfather. I think I have moved on already. I don't experience the things you mentioned, but I still do find myself crying whenever I remember him and things I regret because he wasn't able to be there anymore. Like for example, when I graduated in college, I cried so hard because I thought "If only he is still with us, he'd be so happy to see me march and take my diploma.". I didn't expect that I'd be feeling great pain and cry so hard. Sometimes, I still find myself teary-eyed if not crying whenever I remember my frustrated hopes about being with my grandfather. Am I still grieving?
Since his death, I have been grieving my grandfather. A little over a year and I'm still crying. I spent ten or eleven months grieving in private though. My family didn't know that my grandfather's death impacted me. When I found out my grandpa died, I went into shock, even though I knew he wasn't going to make it. Somewhere around the middle of that night I faced denial and isolation, then I faked acceptance the next morning. In an endless cycle, I would go back and forth between denial and isolation and acceptance, or rather, indifference when I was with my family. For some reason, I felt like I needed to be strong for everyone. As if I wasn't allowed to cry until everyone else was done mourning. At school I was a crying mess. There were many days I spent crying- especially during the first week of my grandpa's death -until I started to fake acceptance/indifference at school too, not just in front of my family. It was hard, because I would spend most of my time thinking about my grandpa, and I would begin to tear up at times. After a a handful of months I moved onto bargaining and guilt, then anger, denial and isolation and guilt again, depression, self isolation, guilt, and anger again. Eventually, these stages of grief began to overlap each other and I faced them all at once. If someone mentioned my grandfather or anything that I had mentally connected him to, I would shut down by refusing to look at anyone, suddenly becoming mute, and act very distant. A surplus amount of online screenings suggested I was (am) suffering complicated/complex grief on a severe level, which I believe was true; life was so hard to resume and carry on with after my grandpa died. Now it's been three months since I've started what is supposed to be the final stage of grief: acceptance. Very slowly, but surely, I would think that I'm learning to live with my grandpa's death, and I think that although I opened to my mother about grief a couple of months prior to his death's anniversary, I really found solace on my grandpa's death anniversary. We, that being my family and I, all prayed the rosary for him. One petition I had (which my family also petitioned as they started to catch onto how I was feeling about losing my grandpa) was for me to feel comfort- on a spiritual level. During the prayer, I felt somewhat of a peace entering me, and a slight joy mixed with the feeling of contentment. The best way to describe it is to say that I was getting the spiritual comfort that I was asking for. Yes, I still think of my grandpa and cry for him, and I still have a hard time moving forward, but I'm sure I can say that I am feeling a lot better. Without me having to say it, I know that everyone understands that grief lasts a lifetime, but we can all adapt to it and grow with it. Despite not fully watching the video, I know I am still grieving, however that's fine. So yes, you are still grieving, but as I said, that's fine. Losing a loved one is hard and I can empathize with you because I too cry when thinking of my achievements and my future achievements that I can't share with my grandpa. He's never going to dance with me on my wedding night, nor will he get to dance with my sister at her quinceañera, and he won't get to see my siblings and I graduate school and move to adulthood. Sadly, he won't get to hold his first great grandchild, which is a depressing thought for me. Be Not Afraid by Bob Dufford and Don't Cry For Me by Libby L. Allen are a couple of songs that have helped me cope with grief, I hope they can help you too. God bless you, may you and your family find true peace in the Lord's presence.
It doesn't sound like it. It just sounds like you miss him. That isn't the same as grief. It is normal to do, ESPECIALLY when major life events happen. You either created expected memories of your grandfather sharing those events with you, and that makes you miss him, or you think he would enjoy that event with you and that makes you miss him. I cried during a church service 15 years after my grandparents died. The preacher told a story about a mission trip they took together. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I cried off and on for 2 days. I had 2 small boys and I couldn't look at them without thinking, "Nana and Granddaddy would ADORE you two!" It was nice, looking back on it. To feel love for the deceased simply means you miss them. That's ok to do. I imagine your grandfather is grateful that you loved him enough to miss him and cry that he is no longer here. As long as you still do that, it's like he isn't really gone. He won't. E gone until no one remembers him. THAT would not be good. You crying on special occasions? That is good. It might not feel good, but one day it will. That crying I did? It felt good-in a weird way. I'm sorry for your loss. Merry Christmas to you!
Crazy how these videos are posted right when I need them. My grandma is terminally ill and she doesn't have much long- I've already told her how she can rest when she's ready and that we'll be okay because we have each other.
I’m still having Grief from my dogs death. He was diabetic and 13 years old, so I kinda guessed he was going to pass soon. And the head stone in our living room doesn’t help. It’s been three months, and I’m still grieving. Hopefully it will end soon.
My cat died this year, he was only 1 and a half years old, he was a cute rag doll and he was always there for me, he’s been through a lot and I love him so much, we where the bestes friends ever and you won’t believe how strong our friendship was, R.I.P snuggle puss, we all love you ❤️
My husband has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreas/liver cancer. I find myself grieving /depressed knowing I’m going to lose the soul mate of my life. God made him for me and the thought of losing him is overwhelming 🥺
@@marilynholmes8229 I came across your comment at the grief of love ones post here. ☹️That’s so touching and I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all loss 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, I truly understand how you feel cos I’ve felt same hard and terrible experiences before but death is just inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday, and every of our love ones we’ve loss will always want to see us happy again wherever they’re okay. I loss my oldest daughter Annabel February 24th 2020 in a crucial car accident, and she just turned 22 on her last birthday before she got knocked down by a moving vehicle 🚗 and so unlucky for me that horrible day the driver was drunk. That was the worst and most lamenting day of my whole life as a single Dad raising two kid's, my 17 years old son Clark and my 4 legged 🐶 families are my everything and the reason I still keep strong, and keep going! My late wife passed away three years ago from a shocking disease, I felt devastated with grief, and I was so heartbroken 💔 but God and time are indeed the best healers. I pray and hope you’ve found peace, comfort and happiness again!
Please allow me to share my best friend's story with you. This family truly knows where to turn in times of grief. 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. God bless! Tribute to Ethan Lakey ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EhobcQZ6Qb8.html
I lost my dog a couple of years ago and it still hits me hard. Luckily, I adopted a dog who I love dearly but I sometimes I still think about her. I just don’t like talking about that nightmarish day.
I thought I’d moved on since my doggie passed away on october, but last week I had to go to the hospital cause I was fainting too much and was extremely tired and not hungry at all, they told me I was an inmune depressed patient and my body was under too much stress, turns out I was just avoiding the feelings of grief until my body just couldn’t take it anymore 😣😣
My brother passed away unexpectedly August 3 2020. I have never felt so much pain in my life. My soul feels like it's been ripped out and the grief I feel for him is unbearable at times. I still cry everyday for him. I feel for anyone losing a loved one! May god bless you! ❤
I lost my mom, who was my only best friend, 7 months ago. Me, being the only child, I have no one to share the same level of pain. All the time, my heart feels heavy, I can feel a physical pain. Sometimes I just feel that my heart will burst.
Outstanding .. I wish I can say it will be easy for you .. it won’t be .. but you have to try .. because consequences of grief are very real .. your carry a very great weight right now .. it’s time to put it down and cry .. and laugh and go a little crazy at the insanity of death .. think of the kitten holding onto the cloths line .. use this experience , write a journal .. share your experiences with others .. there will be a dawn .. and you will survive this !
@@ionageman Thank you so much. Yes, I've been maintaining a diary documenting my feelings, I write poems, and I must say writing has helped me a bit. But ya, as I said, the feeling of trauma is always there.
I can't move on from my "ex" )-; I don't talk to her anymore becuz I'm trying to move on, but I feel like a complete ass in the proces. Its been 5 months now and I don't know why. She broke up with me by text so why do as feel like an ass for tryinging to move on with my life. Why is love so hard!? When did it become a power thing!? I hope all of you find love and happiness!
It’s been five years since my sister died suddenly from a heart attack due to thyroid storm. I’m literally in tears bawling uncontrollably all because I brought her up in a conversation. I’m not angry and wish she was still here. I miss her so much it hurts.
Do you have these signs Increased irritability. Numbness. Bitterness. Detachment. Preoccupation with loss. Inability to show or experience joy. Then you are still grieving
I never knew I’d be apart of this list.. but my daddy passed three weeks ago. I have a lot of peace because he went to heaven. But, I definitely miss his voice and miss his hugs and singing. We never really celebrated Christmas.. but yet I still find myself sad today.
my dad passed away six months ago and im so sad i cant stop thinking about him i dream about him. alot lately and i wake up crying knowing he's not around makes me sick, its hard for me especially during the pandemic where everything i do reminds me of his illness i lost my dad to covid thats the worst thing that could happen to me and it did i sometimes feel it would be better if it had been me not him i think of dying but im too afraid to do it im so depressed but i have no one can understand everyone moved on and seem to forget but im the youngest i feel this is bigger than me please god bless him and have murcey upon his sole and help me live through all of this
My dear friend, I understand your pain. I will keep you, your family, and your father in my prayers. God bless you, may you find relief in His presence.
I..idk😓 I lost my mom to Cancer with I was 16..but I got sad and I still miss her..but other then maybe a couple things on here like avoiding and stress I never felt pain in my Chest..Idk that's just me tho.😌🌼
My dad passed away nearly 6 years ago. A few days ago I stumbled upon his facebook page. All of a sudden it hit me again and for the first time in a long time I cried my eyes out. Grieve is timeless. It will never fully go away, but it will get better
I lost my first ferret 3 years ago very suddenly. He got out of the house and I didnt know, and got runed over. Somone in the trailer part I was in found him and bairied him. I didn't know where though, and they where to busy to show me so I never got to griev properly. I got 2 ferrets after words but still was sad. I think its because I wasn't ready to move on. 1 later I now have my new ferret willow. Shes helping me with my problem of grief, like a emotional support animal. But I still feel sad and miss my first ferret max very much, I don't know what to do to get over him. I also try to hide my photos of him because it hurst me.
I'm still grieving a relationship that ended back at the start of June and Christmas is most definitely the most depressing time I've had this year. Especially since my birthday is on Christmas eve... All I ever did was sit and think about my ex partner the entire time and all I was feeling was my heart being squeezed, nauseous, shortness of breath, and burning eyes due to tearing up. It all just hurts so much to the point where I don't even wanna get out of my room 😔
I'm on the same boat... It's even worse on valentines day. It's been 2 years since my relationship ended but I have to say, it does get better with time. So I'm sure you'll pull through too! Hang in there, peace and love💜✌
For as long as I can remember my lost ones, they are at my side helping me. The grief never passes but becomes a trusted friend.And yes it F*****G hurts.
When I lost my work dog, Chloe, I wanted to AVOID my work place like the plague. But thankfully, since the lockdown, I haven’t had the ability to go back to that place. I know it’s silly to grieve over a pet that isn’t mine, but she did feel like she was mine, at least at work, bc her owner really trusted me with Chloe, bc he knew how much she meant to me, and vice versa. Chloe was a golden retriever who retired recently and had died of chocolate poisoning. She was the best, most sweetest girl, and she died on Thanksgiving, and this Thanksgiving was very hard for me, but my parents thought I was “over it,” which I’m not still. Rip Chloe
I am also not having my own dog I think, one year ago when I was living with my uncle he bought a really cute dog for his children. But I cared about him and doing all the things of him. When I came home during lockdown I brought him with me. He is like my child and even thinking of losing him feels like my heart will explode. I hope that my uncle never say that this is not your dog and you have no right to live with him or care about him
I lost someone I loved so much in a romantic way and avoided the first 6 months to acknowledge that pain, the next second half of 2019 I was so depressed that I couldn't do anything. Postponed grief really blocks you from healing. Barely this year I started to reflect on my feelings about what happened and it has been a long run. I like to think I'm half way there (full acceptance). I told you this experience because it REALLY prolonged my sadness and I don't want that for you. If you want to cry DO IT, even if you've had it worse before, IT'S YOUR FEELING YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO FEEL.
To be very honest... I'm still grieving about someone who was like a real mother to me, I just woke up one day and have no more connection and/or communication to her. It felt like I was once again abandoned and cut out from someone's life, like I've lost a friend, a really special one. It hurts and still do, I suppressed how I feel after I knew about it but just this month I broke down crying and in pain (happens almost every night as I go to sleep) because some things, or even just some people or by and from what they say, I am always reminded about it. It is really difficult and painful, I have no one to talk to that would be open to comprehend on what I'm grieving about. This video helped me clarify some things, and yes I do have some experiences like you've mentioned in the video. Thank you for that 💖 I'm still hurting, but I know I'm gonna be okay. Not now but in time. Beyond grateful for you, @Psych2Go ✨ Merry Christmas!!!
So as you all know, today is christmas. Which is really hard for me because i’m still grieving the loss of my father. (I never got the chance to because of past events) and then they gotta go CALL ME OUT LIKE THIS. I- you can’t just- ahhhh Edit: on top of that i’m grieving a more recent loss of a relationship which stinks but is easier for me than the dad thing so.
I lost my friend of 14 yrs to Feline Wasting Disease (02/15/2018). I got her when I had a falling out with a Childhood Friend. It has been hard to gravatate to someone else since I lost her, just trying to take it one day at a time. She meant a lot more too me then my own Family. Some times I get dreams about her and sometimes I hear songs that remind me of her but it doesn't hurt as much as the first year did. I wanted to kill mysslf so often that I almost couldn't function over my lost. The only things that helps is talking to her in Spirit. Wrighting too her. Some times watching cat videos .It has help there is still rare occasions when I can't get her off of my mind. Not to sound Morbid but it's not weird to take the Urn of the decest animal and hold it. Pet it Or keep it in your Bedroom at night. The likely hood of getting another Cat is out of the question since I never grew up as a Cat Enthusiast. Just adopted her as a Stay Kitten from her mother when she came into our backyard back in 2005. I let her approach me at 4-5 wks of age.
Are there any cheaper options for online counseling? The exchange rate of USD to my country's currency is too high so this is still too pricy for me :((
I do wonder if at 53 this grief will end me .. last time I was 22 , it lasted 9 years . It destroyed me physically and mentally .. but it also changed my life , to a search for why .. 3 years now , the worlds a little less grey than it was 2 years ago .. but , diabetes has me now , developed shortly after my soul mate died .. I’ve tried to grow through with varied results .. photography , guitar , fresh food and exercise .. but I still sleep alone .. I still travel alone and I feel very much alone . The search for Y is done .. I understand the medicine wheel .. everything is as it should be , as it must be , but even as I write this I feel the tears just moments away . P.s. even now , I see more .. the fork in the road of Y .. the road less travelled .
Grief is one of the hardest things we will ever face in this life. Jesus loves you more than you could ever want to be loved. He understands exactly what you are going through and He can bring you such peace, comfort and joy to your heart like you've never known if you will surrender to Him. I am sharing my best friend's story with the world in hopes that it will be a help to so many who are struggling. God bless you.

We Rescued A Dog When We Moved In Our Town Of 2011 We Found Beige And We Rescued Her And Took Care Of Her For 10 Years ....Today She Was Put Down :( 😭😭😭
I'm currently grieving over the death of my little sister, she died a little less than 12 years ago. The reason I've only just started grieving is because I was 2 when she died and have only been able to process this year, with all the spare time I've had I've been thinking alot. The thought that hurts the most though is that my life could have been so different and better had she not died. I miss her
I understand how you feel; life is hard when we lose someone we love, even if we see it coming or if we've already lost them. You will be able to find peace one day, trust me on that. Grief is a life long journey, but that's the beauty of it. One day you will be mourning your sister, but also celebrating the life of your sister and you will be thankful that you got to be a part of it. If you ever need someone to let out all your emotions to, you have tons of people who care about you, and you have strangers on the internet like me (though that could be dangerous, so I wouldn't suggest it). May you live a blessed life❤️
I recommend “ the Tibetan book of living and dyeing “ , also a basic understanding of quantum mechanics , Buddhism , and conservation of mass .. nothing is ever lost . ❤️🙏🕊
Realized I had been grieving over our dying marriage even before it was finally over. Now a year after breakup things are getting better. Sometimes I was unsure if I'm over it, but also according to this video: I am. Mostly. I guess?!
I feel hollow. Empty in a way. I don’t know how to feel. I’ve cried but I feel like my brain is blocking the trauma out because that’s what my brain does. I think its called dissociative amnesia idk. I just want to grieve.
Thinking about how i lost a friend (he just turned 17) in a car crash.. After 3 weeks of coma.. Then i lost my dog because nobody believed me when i said i was scared for her health.. Yeah.. I'm probably still greiving for them.. My friend, i'm still not realizing he's not with us.. That i wont ever see him again.. I just can't seem to believe it. It's like nobody was in the coffin.. Like he was just hiding somewhere. Then my dog.. Let's just say i haven't slept early at night since the night she died.. I'm always having pain in my heart, like it's aching, eating itself, i feel it right now even though it is pretty weak this time. My mouth is drying itself like nothing can go down my throat anymore.. But my parents always said it was stress. And nothing important. Not like any of these is important apparently.
i lost my grandma earlier this year and for that reason i have these symptoms. today ive just found out my grandfather had a heart attack. i don't know what to think. because of my grandma's death i feel numb to emotions and my reaction to the news was both numb and emotional. i don't know how im going to cope at all
Been griefing for 2 months, over my my ex -boyfriend,& bestie, we tried to rekindle this year, but it's complicated cuz I still love ❤ him, even though we have our time apart for now, I miss him dearly, found somewhat peace to keep myself happy,, and to top that off my bestie &gal decided to take a break, I have been hurt soo much, that she tried to help, to a point where I am letting myself go, and now she wants to split apart cuz of me,, in which is unusual cuz we always tried to be there for each other, and now I am afraid to get close to any friend now, scared. It seems the ones I care about pushes me away when I need them the most! It's complicated! Finding help hasn't always been easy, I am at a point where Outside of home I am more happy with hanging, but going back home I am depressed! & lonely,! I try my hobbies, but sometimes have loss of interest in things!
Ahh...obviously I'm still grieving....😞 It's the wrost feeling... feeling of hopelessness...i want to leave as soon as possible it's really getting wrost.....😞😣
Be a man and cover your pain, even if ppl can plainly see ur hurting, continue to fake a smile. When u cry, cry into a pillow to muffle the sound, with ur back turned at those around u, late at night. When asked if you're OK, just say yes and fake a smile. Laugh even. When someone notices your puffy eyes, make an excuse to hide the fact you cried your heart out... even if that excuse doesn't make sense. Rub your eyes with soap if u have to. When u indulge in whatever relieves ur pain, do it with joy because absolutely nobody knows ur pain like u do.
I wish someone told me this. I felt all points to the core. Every since my young brother passed I have been getting sick more often, not to mention I have range of body discomfort that had my overthinking brain convince it's cancer or that I will die of a stroke like he did. 3 months have passed and I can't seem to pull it together as I did before. I certainly feel as if this grief over my only bro is going to have me drown in it. Depression is already worse. Anxiety (especially health anxiety) is through the roof. I hope it will get better in time. Universe grant strength and health to all of us hurting from the loss of our parent, siblings , spouses, friends. 😔
When my dad died, i had my mom. But when my mom died i had no one. Its been 4 years... i guess this kinda answer my questions.. i just realized i never took time to actually grieve and accept their deaths, the world lowkey forbids me to..
Its been over a year and I still alternate between constantly thinking about her and trying not to and crying..... I feel like I’ve accepted her being gone from my life.... but then I just can’t stop looking at reminders even though its painful, and avoiding them
I became fast friends with someone over the last 16 mouths but back in October he did something to me that made me lose all trust in him. I also realized that he has many toxic qualities too. I’m limiting my association with him and his close friends. but it’s hard because we used to have a big Discord server that most of my friends and his were on. so they all got to know each other and many of my friends don’t understand why I was so hurt by him and some think it’s wrong for me to treat him like this they tell me I have to forgive him. It’s not about forgiveness though and I’ve told them that but they don’t seem to get it. That’s what I’m Grieving is the loss of a number of friends all because of one. His best friend was also getting to be good friends with me before October but now we barely hang out after everything, one because we have different viewpoints on the situation, and two because to spend time with him I would have to also be around the one I’m trying to distance myself from. This video helped me see I’m still troubled by it all so I’m typing all this as a way to let it all out. This comment was typed quickly so the punctuation is probably not great but that’s fine
You know,Psych2go is too popular. That's why it has got a lot of top comments. Therefore, those who has actual problems and writes it in the commentbox,it never pops up in the ocean of top comments. That's a sad fact of course, they doesn't get any solutions or someone to be for them...😟
My mum passed away two years ago, I am still grieving and having some of these symptoms :( She was my whole world and my best friend. The strange thing is that I didn't get these symptoms when it happened, only now, two years later. I must have been in shock all that time.
Please allow me to share my best friend's story with you. This family truly knows where to turn in times of grief. 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 am grieving the loss of both my parents. My mom passed about two months ago and my dad just passed about a week ago. Its still super fresh and I feel so lost😢
So.... I lost contact with a friend for some kind of misunderstanding (via chat) and it has been a year since we last talk, I miss my friend so much but I've been avoiding this issue or there are times when I sink on these memories and it hurts too much, I should I write him wishing him a goog new year? 😥
