Dying isn't a bad thing, you know this if your spiritually woke, your mom left this chaos that's run by Freemason shills, your mom is lucky to leave this hell hole
I lost my wife of 32 years recently. Every word you said rang true with me. I use the love I have for her to live better and be a better human being. Thank you for that. Aloha. Chuck
Thank you for these words Jocko, this really hits home to me. My little sister passed away almost 2 years ago now, still to this day I struggle with it on a daily basis. I am 23 years old and she was my best friend, I tried to use your "good" speech when it happened and It hurt me a lot, it was hard to think that there could be any good to come from her death. I still would not say there's anything "good". But you definitely opened my eyes up to it a bit more. I am absolutely honoured to have spent the time I did with her, she's really changed a lot of peoples outlook on life. For her I try to smile extra each day, be kinder to humans and try to love and accept everyone, because that's what she did during her time here. Again, thank you so much Jocko, I have been a follower of yours for 3 years now and your words never fail to motivate me sir. I really needed this. Time to get after it now!!
@Kevin Castellanos Thank you Kevin for your kind words. I definitely agree with you, tragedy should be dealt with gently. I am new to grief, all my life my family has been fortunate in regards to death, we have lost some family members but nothing like this. So when this happened it shocked everyone for obvious reasons. I try to live for her everyday, I went down a wrong path shortly after her death but straightened myself out quickly and realized I was being very selfish. Like you say it's about having the motive to live for the fallen, I totally relate to that. Again, thank you! I appreciate the words a lot.
As someone who also has a little sister, I can’t imagine how you are feeling but she would be proud to know that because of her you smile everyday. Take care
Sorry for your loss. We will all face that grief eventually, and you will be able to comfort others that go through that hell, since you have walked that path already, and honored your sisters life by doing it the right way. You have my deepest respect soldier. Stay the course Brother
The love of my life was murdered recently. I'm still in denial & haven't accepted it yet. I'm going to save this video to my playlist and watch it again. Jocko has always inspired me with other issues, struggles, etc - I really hope I can get through this. 💔 RIP Tara Lynn
Lost my mom 2 years ago....its tuff. I break down at times. But i still feel her and talk to her! Its getting a little better. I keep going not just for her but for my self and my family. That's all we can ever do. Keep going!!!
One of the best men I have ever met died in May of 2022. I was overseas when it happened, and have not been able to properly grieve or mourn his passing. Of our group of guys he was the best one amongst us. RIP brother. I love and miss you everyday. RIP Seth Michael Plant A fucking bear, what a way to go.
Nailed it. I lost my best friend in 2014 and it still hurts.. but knowing I was lucky enough to know such a great person with such a great personality and sense of humour is so comforting. Lucas had all the potential in the world, but shit just happens… Miss you to death big dawg… see you when I see you.
I lost my Dad to heart disease when I was 10. It took many years to see the good. When I did it was liberating. I live every day with appreciate of what he's done and the lessons I had learned with that loss are priceless. "Live everyday with purpose and passion" well said Jocko
This came at the right time for me. My best friend of 22 yrs died two weeks ago.... died suddenly, leaving behind a wife and four kids. He was 41 yrs old. Your podcast is on point, and I appreciate your insights.
Lost my mum in October 2019 and watched my siblings attack each other. I distanced myself and avoided them. Both my parents are now gone and this world feels like a place I no longer know.
Back in July 2019 I was listening to pod cast 157 about 1hour and 30 minutes in where Jocko was talking about picking up the pieces after losing a child! I really listened to that piece intently and then listened to it again, for some reason I really pondered those words! Then 2 weeks later our 30 year old son was killed on his motorcycle when some one made a left turn in front of him. Our son Josh left behind 2 beautiful boys and a wife (Fiancé)! He also had 3 siblings that was all very close! His death has hit us all so hard! His mom and I started grief counseling thru Grief Share! I think what’s helped us to move forward is our Faith and we try and concentrate on all the good times and memories! It still doesn’t take away our pain but it’s sweet to look back and know the love we all had for each other and the valuable times we got to spend with each other before Josh’s death! I could probably write a book on all the things that God allowed our family to do together right before his death, and how God has worked in our lives since his death! Thanks for the words of wisdom Jocko!
You are a great man Jacko. Thank you for your wisdom your out here saveing lives and dont know just how much. Thanks again for helping me become the man i know i can be
After the death of my dad (Suicide) in 2017 the things that saved me were and are: Working out (in the beginning running was the best stress relief) writing (daily) and working. You can’t sit at home and do nothing. *edit* I’d add praying to that too. God will carry you through
“Rejoice for those who pass onto the next life. Attachment is the shadow of greed, train yourself to release what you fear to lose. Let go of fear, and loss cannot harm you.” I’m sorry for your loss friend. I keep this in mind but it still doesn’t make it easy. It’s nice to meet someone of similar interest though. How big into the Jedi thing are you?
I honor those I knew and loved who have passed on by integrating aspects of them I loved, into myself. It's my way of keeping some of their amazingness alive in this world. I hope this helps others cope like it has for me, plus it makes this often miserable world a little better and beautiful.
Thanks for talking about this topic guys. I lost my best friend to cancer last year and it was the biggest reality check I’ve ever had to face. It really is a test of character / strength and being there for the family in the hard times. Thanks again guys
I lost my Brother 27 yrs old 5 months ago ... & I am 18 & have a younger Sister. Now also i am not OK..... I miss his presence So much... He was my Everything... I lost him due to Covid 19 ... He was such a caring, helping, loving Energetic brother.... He always had a smile on his face.... My brother was the one who talked non-stop to everyone .... I cant accept his LOSS... 😥
One of my best friends passed away randomly a couple of days ago. It crushed me but I had to look back and I saw that he was the happiest he had been his whole life, he was surrounded be his friends and family, and was sober for 3 years after battling with addiction since a young age. He was a bright light in every room he peaked his head in and tried to make everyone’s life easier any way he saw possible. He will forever be a part of who I am and he’ll always by my side. Rest In Peace Nathan, Love you buddy.
ahhh my 11 yr old daughter was killed less than 18 mths ago...all I can say is it was medical. it was avoidable and I had no idea what I would stumble upon.....and all is not as it seems here in New Zealand...thank you Jocko and Echo...I keep my shit together mostly and now I must hunker down for the long game after showing my hand as I thought being open was good. Not when you deal with the Govt...some days I don't know who to trust...at the moment I can only trust myself...I am the only team member left...
Idk why this is suggested right now. My best friend died on November 10th, 2019. He wasn’t a saint he wasn’t super man. But he was my best friend. Jocko speaks to all of us, not even about death, but I need to remember his life not that he isn’t here. Thanks everyone I hope you all get after it.
I had to put my dog down 4 years ago when I was 16 it was the hardest thing for me, 2 years later I bought a new pup and spent every waking moment with him and he sadly passed away last weekend from lyme disease at only 1.5 years old didnt even know what going to happen till it was too late and he had a heart attack in my arms. Ever word Jocko speaks rings true you need to honor every moment you have with he ones you love.
@@brandon2498 I think the idea behind it is that the bandaid was ripped off quickly and all at once, better the separation than a prolonged exposure to toxic relationships.
3 year ago i lost my grandma (we live in the same big house) 2 years ago i lost my father, one year ago i lost grandpa. Yeasterday i lost my dog which was my best friends when i need it. Its hard every time but you need to keep moving forward.
I just found out one of my best friends died of a probably OD today.. I knew you would have something to say to help. Thank you Jocko. You touch people deeper than you realize.
So hard bro, i survived her suicide, almost 3 Years have passed, and sometimes i struggle to stay on the path, just know that you are not alone, honor and love her by being your best and being humble, i send you an honest hug from the bottom of my heart brother, just one day at a time
I lost my granddad today. I’m not going to mourn. I’ll be happy for the mark he left in my life. The moments. He is in a better place. Thanks for sharing
Thank you, great advice. I found you through Dan Bongino. I lost my twin brother last year and I’ve had a hard time with the separation and the will to go on. I am a two-cancer survivor so I am tired. And people congratulate me on that but I give God the credit. Still, my broken heart has been a bigger challenge than facing my own mortality. Thank you for your words of wisdom from experience, I will write them down and try harder. The memories actually hurt at first, but you are right. In remembering Phil, I realize I was the most blessed to even have my beautiful brother, and being a twin is an awesome place in life. He was street wise, I was a Pollyanna. He taught me so much of what I now need to know and practice in this cruel world. Thanks for the reminder! Much love and gratitude. P.S. This is my first podcast view of you except with Dan Bongino recently, which I really enjoyed. I love the fact that you think outside the box. ♥️
Hang tough bro. I feel every bit of your pain. I lost my older brother a year ago to a slow painful stomach cancer. Pray and live with purpose knowing you will see him again.
wow this helped me a lot too Jocko, my cat was killed by a car a month ago, he was only two years and a half old, i really spoiled the little demon, we sleep together, enjoyed every single of his almost 1000 days, i was unemployed the whole period, its been so long since i lost a dear one, it totally blew me away when a co-worker told me he saw him on the street lying death the night he got lost. it has been the biggest lesson of my life, he was a hunter, i was undisciplined, now i never fail, i always have been your follower, i knew i should have tried harder, but well what a lesson, even i dont fear death anymore, i just want to bring kids to the world now, and cats, and to live long and prosper, i used to play it safe always, afraid of having kids, hey love your podcasts!, thanks a lot for this one !!
I sent this to my uncle (by marriage) who is a constant source of inspiration to me he’s a titan. He became hostile and it actually put a dent in the relationship. But I don’t regret it, this is amazing. My best friend died on November 10th, thought he might appreciate this but I was very wrong.
I lost my mom a week ago and my father from suicide when I was 14. I’m 24 and going to school but now reality hit. I guess it’s time to hit the gulag and keep fighting for her.
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 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 son 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. 😢
I lost my significant other and still keep questioning myself every day if I could of done more. It's so hard I've lost siblings and my dad and lots of people but I'm not sure how to move on he was my heart and my life but I did like your message and know I have to move on just not sure how.
I lost my uncle today. He had 2 heart attacks and while the hospital were doing tests they found he had stage 4 lung cancer and I guess he just give up. My dad is devastated and I don't know how to comfort him. He died in Australia and he's from the UK. I just feel lost
That's why in spirituality it is said that detach yourself from your loved ones. How? By accepting this fact (that one day they gonna leave you) now. So spend every moment with them as if this is your last moment with them, coz it's fact that one day that last moment will come. And when it will come, it won't give you a shock as you had already accepted that. And you would handle yourself much better.
Live every day to get even with those that have harmed you and let your revenge be equal or greater to the damage they inflicted upon you, and celebrate that revenge afterwards by joyfully moving on to the next person(s) on your list. Every act of revenge will bring you closer to happiness and to the closure you need. But remember, tell no one what you're doing, just get even. Happy hunting.

It's been a year since I lost my brother and it's still so hard to understand ..WHY Him..?! His favorite month was October because it was our birthday month and he was a horror Movie junkie that's the month he passed from Brain Cancer 💔 I miss him everyday!!!!
I just lost my mother today I found her in her bed this morning and idk how to feel, I feel at ease knowing I found her but im like a bipolar person calm one minute bawling the next idk how to feel in at a loss for words
I last my dog on Thursday and it's was hard for me trying to move on but it's was easy for me but I don't get my stuff done but I don't because I lost my dog in 2022 September 29 but it does take time to move what I did I make that in the game and the mission what I need to do get my stuff done in my head
To anyone who lost a loved one recently, GOOD. This creates an OPPORTUNITY for you to taxidermy their corpse and display them to your friends. RECHARGE. RECALIBRATE. RE-ENGAGE.
At the end of the day even if every single person you know dies you still have to get up and go to work you still have to make money to pay bills you still have to feed yourself so just accept the fact that death is natural there's no escaping it everybody you know will die including you get over it. And no I'm not some little Suburban County boy whose only funeral I've been to his my grandparents cuz they were old. I've had friends shot to death I've had friends OD I've had friends parents OD. That's life, people are born, some people make bad decisions and die early, some people make all the right decisions and then get hit by a fucking bus right after they get married and get that big promotion at work. I think part of the problem also is people have this false perception that they have any sort of control over their life and the world. And so they get it in their head that they're owed a full life when you're not owed anything, even a full life yes it sounds harsh but that is the reality and there is no getting around it.
