I know Ashley doesn't like to be on camera (neither do I) but what an amazing sister and aunt she is to do Winnie's hair every morning, I just have so much respect for her.

I was widowed at 31 with 3 small kids youngest being 6 weeks old and zero family to help me! Boy can I relate. I didn't clean up for about months, it was just overwhelming. One of my friends came over and got a few more friends to do a cleaning intervention 😅😅! It got me out of my slump and woke me up !Grief is hard! Now at 64,I have been diagnosed with the same as Jenny, stage 3a adenocarcinoma left lung mediastinal node involvement. I'm actually up now getting ready for my second chemotherapy and day 7 of radiation. I pra😢that I have the same grace and courage that Jenny had during her fight!

You’re busy but as the kids get older they won’t need as much help. It’s hard to believe nearly a year has slipped by since Jen became an angel. Time goes by so fast. Her sister is a sweetheart to come and help Winnie every morning. That’s love.

Goodness, I literally have no words. My husband asked me who I was following and when I told him the story he had tears in his eyes. He said " I can't imagine the strength he has every day. But I will say ,our sons are adults, if they were small it may provide motivation." Whatever the case, Kyle is amazingly strong, as are his children. And we will always love and remember Jenny.

Jenny is missed, her smile, her laughter, her clothes style, her kindness, and just being there to love you, and the kids. We, your subscribers do love and care about you and the kids, and miss Jenny, especially when we see lady bugs. My grandchildren get excited every time they see one in the house. They holler “Grandma come see Jenny”. Kyle big hugs to you for taking such amazing care of all that was important to Jenny. On that note as you are also important to Jenny, I have noticed your face being red a lot, I hope you will take this as me caring for Jenny’s love of her life and your kids father. Please go have your heart and arteries checked for any blockages possibly beginning. If you already have that’s great. I have had ones that I love have heart issues that were caught after noticing the same symptoms.

Donna, your comment shattered me, I am truly so sorry for your pain. I have a 15 year old son who is my little soul twin (even HE agrees on that!) and we have such a blast. He tells me everything about his life (even the bad stuff). We ride our E-bikes together, go for drives & listen to music, lots of travel during the summers & ski trips during the cold months, and are just so close. We say “I love you” many times a day, and he often tells me I’m the best mom. I’m so very thankful for our relationship, but since he turned 15 I find myself grieving his childhood and dreading the day he leaves home. Your comment slapped me in the face, how dare I feel anything but grateful for what I have. My heart is with you 🩷

Dearest Kyle, I'm a 69 y.o. Retired Hospice Nurse. I've been watching you & your precious family since a few months before Jenny died. I LOVE every single video you make! Because YOU are Absolutely one of the most HONEST people I know. Recently, I was feeling a lot of anxiety because of family issues. My thoughts: I want/ need to hear from Kyle. Whether you're having a rough day or a good day, you're just so DANG HONEST. In my yrs of working with Hospice patients & their loved ones/ caregivers, I've NEVER known ANYONE to address their grief & their feelings in such a raw, open, & honest way as you do. It's SO Healthy, IMO. And the way you deal with your grief spills over into Winnie's & Ellis' lives. And that is a GREAT Thing! I ❤❤❤ the way you & Jenny parent. The kids are allowed to FEEL their feelings & talk about them. Do you realize how rare that is?! It's a Beautiful thing to see! I'll say bye for now. I feel like we're old friends. Much love to you & the kids. ❤❤❤

I wish I could trade my life for Jenny's in order to alleviate your pain. My husband is already waiting for me on the other side. It's been eight years since I lost my husband to cancer. The line that made me weep - "I can't believe she is only a memory". Although that is true (in the physical sense), Jenny lived and loved more in her short life than many others do. She will always be a presence in your life and Winnie and Ellis's lives too. As the pain softens with time, you will retain all of the memories you made with Jenny as you move forward in life. Sending hugs from one who knows. 💙

Wow, what an amazing selfless comment. I’m so sorry for your loss of your husband. All the comments I’ve read are just heartbreaking. It’s so unfortunate that we eventually will all feel this pain whether it’s a spouse, parents, sibling, etc. Very few people are spared from this long never ending journey of grief. Prayers and a big hug to you.🫂

always love your videos sir Kyle, but I really just want to make a personal comment about what you brought up in regards to posting pictures of Jenny at the later parts of her life, to remind you of why I am a proud member of your beautiful little community. I fell in love with Jenny, your caretaking skills, your family AS A WHOLE and your videos when she was sick; I only have known of her as sick. Of course I watched all of your families videos AFTER, but her beauty, grace, humor, love, empathy, and vulnerability, including all of your families, is why I fell in love with you guys. I have commented many times, and always bring up that I am a therapist, but it is because your family and a few others have made me a better therapist by sharing this journey with us. it must be harder than i will ever know to post those picture, but thank you eternally for sharing your familys journey with us. It has made me a better therapist and I know a better person.

My husband died three years ago after a hard fought fight with pulmonary fibrosis. I still have days, moments, when the waves of grief hit and they are so painful. I just miss him being here so much, especially in the evenings, nighttime. I am not sure that ever truly stops happening, but in many ways I think I would miss those feelings if they were not coming. I agree, one more hug would be so very amazing.

@bjenks2766 День назад
Kyle, I truly cannot imagine what you are going through. I started watching you a few months before Jenny passed and I have been a silent viewer ever since. I think you are doing AMAZING with your kids. They are so blessed to have a dad like you. And they are so blessed that they had such a sweet mama that they WILL see again. Lean into Gods promises and trust Him. He will restore all things and this life is but a mist. The only piece of advice I have for you is to let yourself rest. I know you want to get all the things done, but sleep is so important for all aspects. My mind feels so much darker when I haven’t had enough sleep. And I really do think that not sleeping enough could be contributing to your overwhelming thoughts. I truly believe God has given us sleep as a gift, even He rested on the 7th day (even though He didn’t need to) to be an example to us. Sending love to you and your family 🤍

Kyle.. It's the realization of loss and what that truly means,that keeps us from moving forward sometimes...like,"just a memory" from now on. And while that's true in many ways,it's also true that every time one of the kids laugh like her,looks like her,walks,talks, and acts like her-she's back. I know it's not "JEN" in the way you need,but it is her. I pray that knowledge will continue to bring you comfort. All of us at some point in our lives will be the ones saying goodbye either by being the one who leaves or being the one who stays. We all will experience this loss. You are paving the way for SO many to find a place to sort through all those feelings.. you and Jen both have by letting your lives be viewed on this channel. I know God will bless you both for your giving hearts. You're not alone, Kyle. We love you and we love Jen and we love the kids. Memories are precious-needed and cherished-however we get them in our lives. 🙏💛💛🙏

It is so sobering that on this world Jenny is just a memory. So hard to fathom. Thanks to RU-vid, even those of us who didn’t know her personally have memories. How amazing is it when you contemplate how many Jenny memories there are around the world. In the meantime, praise Jesus that in another place she exists once more. Forever grateful for the gift of eternity. Your day was lovely. Thank you for sharing.

Can’t imagine how hard random thoughts are for you. I started crying when you said Jen is just a memory now…And then I said BUT WHAT A WONDERFUL MEMORY…AN EVERYDAY MEMORY❤!!! I know I didn’t know her personally but I miss her…loved her laughter and sense of humor, her wisdom, love for you , Ellis and Winnie and her family and Mel’s family. But I love that she made her RU-vid family feel loved and special to her at some of her hardest moments. She was so brave and strong…An inspiration to everyone in so many different ways. I just miss the heck of not seeing new videos of her just talking. So hard watching her fighting but her joy of life was overwhelming. As many people feel…she will forever be a part of my life and heart. Thanks Jen for being you and for spending time with your RU-vid Fam (by the way Kyle is nailing it on RU-vid.. You would be so proud of him and Ellis and Winnie are awesome on RU-vid also😊)!!! It is hard that the year is coming up…I don’t know why but it is so hard…to make myself feel a bit not so sad I think how Jen isn’t in pain anymore and she is truly watching over her family and friends…I really believe that…I think she is even watching over her RU-vid Fam. Miss you Jen! Kyle you are really making tons of touchdowns with your routine through the week…so proud of you ❤️! As part of the RU-vid family I am always praying and supporting you (try to keep up sending little things here and there…glad you liked Winnie’s glow in the dark blanket for camping)…Just know we are still here for you Ellis and Winnie…always to listen anytime 24/7 365!!! Have a great rest of the week…thanks for sharing!!🙏🏻❣️

Dearest Kyle,, That old clichè,, life is not fair,, is so very true.. My daddy used to say, whenever we drove pass graveyards,, "Do you see all them markers out there,, those people are not coming back up,, and the markers are just a memory now,, so we must find ways to honor them, and keep their memories alive." One day we'll be memories too.. It's extremely hard to wrap the mind around that thought. It's just mind boggling,, and too hard to comprehend, or accept at times.. Grief is a beast that nobody is ever ready to battle, no matter.. Take care,, you're doing an awesome job being a single parent, Dad!! Sending Love, Light, and Hugs, to Winnie, Ellis, and You.. ♡♡♡♡

Great video! Brought back my memories of my days as a single divorced mother. Treasure the craziness because in an instant these days will be a memory too and you'll be 72 and wish you had them again. Lost my son at 32 in 2016. Lost my daughter at 42 in 2023. He had no kids and the longer it is the less people talk of him. My daughter had 5 kids, 25-6, and my SIL is a piece of work, always has been. Her kids keep her memory alive. I have 1 living daughter 400 miles away. Like you I'll never ever feel their hugs or hear their voices or listen to their problems. I have a rare form of thyroid cancer which I'm battling so I can be around the grands as long as I can so I have to wait for hip and knee replacements until Im sure I won't need more cancer treatments. I help whenever I can, as much as I can with the grands while remaining a Gramma because of coarse I can't fill my daughter's shoes. All this to say i wish my SIL did a fraction of what you do. You should be proud. I've folliwed your journey through most of Jenny's (also my living daughter's name) battle with cancer. Embrace the craziness, be gentle with yourself and get more sleep and it'll all be easier. As sad as what it is the memories will blur but the pain will get better, but will always be with you. ❤

You got my tears flowing again, Kyle. I saw your insta post and commented about the cold hands and how it's those little details that stab you in the heart out of the blue. Seeing you in the truck tear up while waiting for the kids got me. My mom passed in June, and only 5 people came to her funeral, so she's just a memory to most people, but I like to think she's videos and photos and I have her ashes. I talk to them. You have so much of Jenny around you that she'll never be just a memory ya know.

Hello Kyle - it's been quite a few weeks since I last tuned in and goodness what a difference. You have moved forward into a very intuitive, caring, patient, parent. A grown up Kyle - because of course you have no choice. Both you and your wonderful children need you to adapt to your circumstances just the way you have - with love and good grace. You may not see this yourself or even feel the transition but it couldn't be clearer. I hope you never lose these vlogs you have made, especially during the time since Jenny died, the change is astonishing almost twelve months on. Please make sure to back up all your vlogs. We know from experience how difficult it is when just on a whim you press the wrong button and precious precious films are accidentally deleted. Peace and love Kyle, peace and love

Hey I have not been doing good either. Lost my momma a little over a month ago to cancer. She wasn’t feeling good in February. We took her to the dr on Feb 28th. Found out it was cancer and all over her body in March and she was gone by July 8th. God help me I feel so lost and alone. She was never even sick. I’m 43 and she was healthy. I remember her having the chicken pox when I was 10 but other than that noting. Not even Covid. I’m just so mad and sad and don’t know how to get though this. I’m sorry this feels like a safe space for me to post my comment. I love Jenny and watched her videos for years. She was so strong and so kind. I’m praying for you Kyle and your baby’s. You’re such an amazing dad and person. God bless you all.

As June ends and July approaches the heavy grieving and crying start. Give yourself some grace and grieve harder at this time. It is what we have to do. Keep the faith, Jenny would be SOOOO proud of how you are doing at being such a GREAT Dad. Praying for you as the date gets closer.

What you are experiencing is all apart of grief. Especially because her one year anniversary is coming up. It does get easier to cope with your grief after the first year. Grief truly never goes away. Try making lunches right after dinner since you are already in the kitchen and set your coffee up too. It won't be like this forever. As your kids grow up they will be able to help you cook and clean 😊❤. Kyle, you really are doing a great job. And your kids are amazing ❤

I found it helpful when my son was 7 (Winnie might be 2 young still) get a small laundry basket outside their room, and let them put away their own clothes in morning while getting ready,etc . Helps u out, saves time,teaches him/ them some chores/responsibility! I have a feeling that Winnie might want to start doing hers if Ellis is doing his ;-) just a thought I remember doing it with my son and he took to it in about 2 days and he was too short to hang up the stuff in the closet so I did that kind of stuff but it really did help me out and it taught some small responsibility because those kids are going to have chores over the next couple of years don't ever think that you have to do everything for them. They are wonderful capable well-raised well-mannered smart kids and can handle more than you think I baby my kids so much and it was not doing them a service once I decided to give more responsibility like taking out the garbage when he got older etc it makes them feel goodand if you want to reward them with 50 cents a week or whatever you decide bribing them is one way lol but make it fun whatever you have to do but I think your kids have the personalities of being willing to do whatever you ask! You and Jenny raise those kids to be wonderful human beings and I can't wait to see them grow up Much love is always, Daria❤

I lost alot of people in my life.I know your pain.I watched you and Jenny from the beginning.There was something about Jenny that just would draw me in.Always thinking about her and waiting for positive news.I cant believe I became so attached to a woman I was so far from ever meeting.I still think of her.Your doing such a wonderful job with the kids.I wish you could get help in the morning with the kitchen.For someone to come in clean the kitchen and do the laudry and leave a nice supper ready to cook.I know most men being a mom and dad the kitchen becomes a stress.But your great and I will always support your channel.❤❤❤

After my mom passed, as the years went by, I was and still am surprised by a wave of deep sadness that hits me the month before the date of her passing, for a number of days. It is not the anniversary date and often I am busy and not thinking about grieving, but it’s like deep body memory that hits, that I have no control over it. I have identified it, and just knowing what it is helps. The memories you are having, are the deep dive that happens with grief. I believe that a person has to identify and face all of the memories and issues tied to someone’s passing but you aren’t ready for all of it in the early stages of grief, so these thoughts and memories that are harder, pop up later for you to deal with, and come to peace with when your psyche is ready even though you don’t welcome it. It’s dealing with every part of grief, and coming to face some of the emotional issues you could not deal with earlier. You are doing an amazing job with your kids. It’s tough thinking Jen is just a memory but think of her as just on the other side of the veil,witnessing and supporting you and the kids, the way she can. It doesn’t lessen your heartache and missing her and the unfairness of it all. I am shocked at how much you do every day. It’s a lot but there are so many single moms and dads who also have to do this. Everyone in this situation needs the support of friends , family and community. It is wonderful that you have this support and have reached for it when you need to.❤

Great job Kyle! A calm, organized morning is so helpful to starting the day off right, especially for the kiddos. I started having my son make his own lunch when he was around 11, it’s great for independence, and taking a few tasks off of your list! He’s 16 now and a football and lax player and meal preps for his whole week. It’s amazing when they start taking off and doing things on their own. I saw your post of Jenny yesterday, it was beautiful! Thank you for sharing that, no matter what her state I’m always happy to see her gorgeous smile again❤

Kyle, you’re such a great dad to your beautiful children! While you can’t physically see Jenny except when watching her videos she’s always close to all of you every day. As the days start getting chilly look for the warmth of the sun on chilly mornings or before dusk and that’s when Jenny will be by your side hugging you from heaven! I love how organized you are with prepping the lunches. One thing I always do is nightly clean dishes as I can’t deal with dishes or pots and pans in sink left overnight. For one that attracts bugs and in FL our cockroaches are so big the dogs could waterski on them! So happy to hear that Auntie Ashley comes daily to do Winnie’s hair! So sweet to do that with her busy schedule! With upcoming reminders of Jenny passing prepare yourself for times when the grief hits from out of nowhere. Do things to honor her legacy that you know in your heart would make her smile or laugh! You will always have your YT channel of followers to help support you whenever needed as we made a promise to help your family get through the grief and have you have a lifetime of cherished memories. You got this Kyle❤❤

Totally normal grief feelings. Almost 3 years since my significant other died. It's almost like you do all this grief work and then you realize it's not gonna get any better than that. Of course I know he's gone but still there are days when it feels so simply unbelievable that he is gone and is never coming back this side of heaven. Thanks for expressing this aspect of grief that doesn't get a whole lot of attention.

I found your channel while my dad was fighting the same cancer as Jen. We both live in Cali and talked treatment etc They were on the same path together for a couple years. My dad’s treatment was in Palo Alto at the VA with Stanford Doctors. We messaged back and forth in the beginning about how to be in our caregiving shoes. Me and Jen chatted a little as well also. Then shortly after Jen passed my dad passed. Hearing you say she passed almost a year ago was surreal. It feels like last week. It’s so good to see you navigating things ok…Better. You’re doing an amazing job. She is so proud! We will never get over our loss we just learn how to get through it❤

You are the definition of a spouse with the in sickness and in health. Never doubt you did everything you could for Jenny. You’re wading through a new normal with your children. You’re doing wonderfully and when the grief days hit, turn on the camera and talk to your community. You’re never alone.

You're doing a great job. I used to cook oatmeal and apples in the crock pot over night and the house smelled like apple pie in the morning. Our children took a warm bath every night before bed. I found them more relaxed as they were read to. I changed their bedding every 2 week and their pillowcases weekly. I can still picture them at the dining room table as I was opening up the curtains in the living room I would say "And God said." They would chime back "Let there be light." And I would say "So it is" Treasure every moment as time goes by so quickly the older you get. Lifes simple pleasures are the best. God has you all in the palm of His hand and holds your tomorrows. ❤😊
