Dearly Loved: Dealing with the Death of A Parent 

Just lost my mom 4-24-19 shes all I ever had and now I'm alone and I miss her so much 😔 found her that morning unexpectedly.doesnt seem real 🦋🐬⚘ I love you mom rest in peace! 😢

Nostalgia took on a whole new meaning after my mom died; I just want to go back in time.

I lost my mom 11 days ago from cancer. I quit my job to be with her everyday and take care of her. I don't regret that one bit. It was time I would never get back. I miss her so much! This pain runs deep! 💔🙏🏼

I lost my dad at 5 am this morning and don't know what to do. I'm confused, shocked. He died prematurely and healthily, his 50th birthday is soon. I am a senior in high school struggling as it is and this is... i don't even have words to express my thoughts or feelings. I'm lost

I watched my mother die as they removed her from the machines after open heart surgery. I tried to bend down while speaking to her and thanking her for everything she ever did for me. Then nearly 2 years later I went to my parents home and found my father dead in the bathroom. And it was horrible but I felt blessed that I was there to be with both of my beloved parents. I told them both that I loved them and that we would meet again. When this happens and you are close to your parents you just can't fathom that they are dead and you are not able to talk with them anymore, take them out for hot fudge sundaes or sit on their deck and watch the hummingbirds. Your whole world really comes crashing down when you lose people like that. And I am still not over the loss and suddenly I start to cry if reminded of them both if I look at a photograph or read a christmas card or something like that. There are no steps to grieving. One minute you SEEM to accept the situation and the next you are wailing like a baby. And I don't feel any guilt at all that I am this way - grief counselling is for the birds. The loss is real, they cannot be replaced, and there is no getting over it. I will miss them until the day I die and I am not embarassed at all. They were my world.

I lost my Beloved Dad of a sudden heart attack when I was 12. It was surreal. He was my protector, I loved him Dearly. At the time there was nothing for children. I wanted to talk about him all the time, but my family took his pictures down and his name was not mentioned again. Please join a group. You feel like you are the only one. No one in school talked to me, just sad and scared of what to say.We could look at each other and know what the other one was thinking. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him, and I am 60 years old now

My mom passed away 4 weeks ago. She would be 48 this November. I'm now 30 yrs old with an 18 yr old brother and second cousins. She was laid to rest next to my grandma whom passed in 2007. A very difficult time, no doubt. I hope that people who have lost loved ones find some kind of peace within themselves. 😇✌

When i lost my dad, even today, i still think that my parents are invincible. How can he die? But you soon understand and accept that they are people like any other. Such an enormous pain.

I lost my mom about a month ago. She was 49 and I’m 26 it is extremely hard lately this has really helped me.

I remember when it was my granny, my mum and me. now its just me. I have a daughter and my heart breaks for her knowing that if nature takes its course, she'll be grieving next. its so inevitable, but feels so wrong.

I lost my mum a week ago suddenly,she died of a heart attack . I just hope she's not worrying anymore and safe , I'll love her forever ,my wee mammy ,my best friend xxx

Lost my mom unexpectly 22 mths ago. We were VERY, VERY close, and for awhile I thought I was doing OK with the loss. But lately, I am struggling again; I feel a tremendous sadness and loss, and nothing brings me joy anymore. I miss her so much. It's a physical pain.

I lost my mam 8 months ago .. when I realise that I'm never going to see my mam again I get panicky & a horrible feeling that I can't explain , now i no what a broken heart is 😢

I watched my mum die from cancer at 10 years of age. I never truly got to say goodbye, and it will always hurt.

I lost my best friend my Mom on June 4, 2020 due to Covid-19. I did not get to see or talk with her 3 weeks before she passed. I still hear her walking around the house. I am heart broken. I love you Mom.

To the beautiful souls in the comments section, you make me feel so much less alone in the common struggle we are all battling. Take care of yourselves today.

It feels so bad how do people think we can just carry on???

I lost my Dad on Jan 7 th 2019 My Dad was everything for me. My hero, my life , my everything.. No one else in this world would love me as much as my Dad loved me. After he left me, My life turned upside down . Everything changed. I lost all my happiness. His memories are killing me. I have a 2 year old son.. it’s for him am still alive. I am totally depressed. I am unable to bear his loss.. want to see him , want to talk to him, want to hear his voice, though I know that it’s impossible. I couldn’t control myself. I lost everything.My life is shattered. If anyone read this please let me know if there is anyway to see my Dad.. I have my Dad’s dresses, chappal, watch mobile and his books with me.. I always hug all that and cry whenever I feel I can’t. Don’t know how am going to lead this life. If there is a life after death, I want to see him soon. I am praying daily to Jesus to show my Dad in my dreams and let him talk to me.. love u Dad.. miss u.. I am shattered. It’s going to be 5 months. Day by day ur memories are making me to cry more and more. time doesn’t heal anything. This pain will be there with me until I die and meet u.. no one is there to understand me. Only my father understands me and he s no more..

Hi I hope everyone is well. Just lost my dad on Sept 22. I'm 47 and my dad was 71. I am absolutely devastated by this loss. He was such a nice guy and such a great dad. I miss him and there really isn't much more I can say.

I still remember it like it was yesterday. I was finally getting over my mums death, I was doing really well after also dealing with depression for three months. I still remember my phone ringing and my sisters shaking voice that told me that my dad had a heart attack. I miss him everyday. I miss them everyday. There’s something about losing your parents you only understand when you lost them...

My mum committed suicide when I was only five and now that I’m 14 I really just want to shout at everyone I see, trying to deal with the stress of school and family life and everything all piling up on top of me, I just can’t figure out why she had to do it, I have to go to counciling to deal with my anger and I wish had a mum like everyone else. If I’m on a phone call with one of my friends I always hear to them talking to their mum like shit and I always think that if I had my mum back, I would never speak to her like that because you never know when you can lose them R.I.P ROSION NIXON❤️ I love you mum xx

I’m 11 and I just lost my mom to colon cancer after 9 years of her fighting it I am so saddened 😢

I lost my mother one month ago to cancer, and my world has been changed forever. She was 63, an animal lover and truly my best friend. I will NEVER, ever get over it. But I'm honestly trying to make peace with it. Losing a parent is one of the most painful experiences a person can go through and one of the deepest sorrows a heart can know. I'm so glad I saw this, it was informative and comforting.

I lost my mom 2 years ago and I still can`t deal with the fact that she is gone , I feel so lost , i miss her so much , I need her so much , she was the only one who could understand me and comfort me all the way through the tough times. R.I.P mom

Thank you God for this message.. I am truly grateful...Amen..

It’s a sudden shock that ONLY YOU feel and no matter what other people say or try to comfort you, it’s something that amplifies as time goes by remembering the times you spent together. Losing my dad felt like a big part of me died with him and I feel guilt from it.

i just lost my mommie i am 40 and im still dealing with it Martina Moreno born March 5th 1947 and passed way on May 13th 2014 and i cant find comfort in anything i talk to her out loud and then i feel crazy im just lost

I lost my mom a few days ago, she was my best friend and I didn't get to tell her goodbye or be with her when she passed like I had promised her and it feels like everything is falling apart around me. I wish you were still here with me mom

One of the hardest things in life is to lose a parent. It puts a whole new perspective on life. I lost my dear dad last month.

Thanks for this video. My dad died suddenly at 63 years old...and although his death was painless and fast...we all still can't understand what happened. This video helped a lot. Thanks.

Lost my dad close to 3 months ago. Still really miss him. Although it's a relief that he's no longer suffering, everything still feels unreal. I still tear up when I think of him.

MY NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE. I just lost my dad a month ago today. He died on June 18, 2019 of bladder cancer. The surgeon took out a small tumor in his bladder and it came back. The same doctor removed another one. Thing is, he never saw the large one to the left of it. Another surgeon found it clear as day. The bladder had to be removed. The doctors were 100% sure they got all of the cancer, and yet he is gone. They were all wrong. The tumor was a beast, and spread everywhere including his brain. My dad was a human calculator. Such a kind, brilliant man. I know all of your pain. I am experiencing it to my core. I am on an emotional roller coaster myself. I am going to tell MY STORY of my NDE. I want to give every single one of you hope. It is long.I wish I could use words that would even honor this experience. Thing is, words to absolutely describe what I experienced aren't as powerful as I would like them to be. I've been reading all of your comments. As someone who cares for each and every one of you, and all of those you have lost recently or long ago, typing all of this will be worth it even if it helps just one of you. I wish I could have known every single one of yours that has returned HOME. MY STORY On July 4, 1989, I died on the operating table. I was having and emergency C section. I was brought back OBVIOUSLY. I remember everything. I remember telling my x husband and the anesth. that I was leaving. X said, "You are not leaving." He didn't believe me. I could feel myself going backwards. I was so scared because no one could stop it and I knew it. I left through the crown of my head, and went backwards with such speed. I remember hearing the muffled voices of all the people in the operating room and the clanging of the instruments. I left in excruciating pain. All of a sudden there was no more pain. It was quiet where I was. I was in a place that had no boundaries. I remember that clear as day. I remember standing but not touching the ground because from what I remember there was no ground. I researched this from stories of others who had near death experiences and one woman said she was , "hovering." That is the exact word. I too was "hovering." I remember being able to see myself which was extremely weird and not a reality here. It was like say standing in front of you and looking at you head on and seeing what you can only see in a mirror. I was able to see me like someone standing right in front of me would see me. I cannot remember what I was wearing but it wasn't even a thought in my mind. I do remember that I wasn't of solid mass. There was transparency and a glow. I remember that glow. It was the color orange. Like a creamsicle color. I KNEW EXACTLY WHO I WAS MORE THAN I KNEW WHO I WAS ON EARTH. I was solid in my knowledge of who I was. So hard to explain. Thing is I was not aware of having a name, I had no idea where I had just come from. I had no idea the excruciating pain and screaming that I had just left. No idea at all. What I did know is that I knew my eyes were open and it was dark all around me. I wasn't scared at all just frustrated because I was looking around and wondering where were the people. I remember thinking I am talking and no one is answering me. I couldn't understand that AT ALL. What I can understand now is that I was not talking through my mouth but through my thoughts and it was natural. Very natural. Immediately I was screaming bloody murder. I was brought back.. I went from no pain, quietness, and then without any warning I was back in my body. I didn't sense at all how I got back in. I felt how I had left and sensed the speed but there was nothing no transportation back. What I know for sure is that I was in a holding pattern if you want to call it that. I was being worked on by the doctors to bring me back. I truly believe I was on my way and then came to an abrupt halt. Time here is well time. Where I was there is no time. It is the "NOW." What could have been a minute, two minutes of being gone is NOT what it is in the other dimension. In that dimension it is endless. Again, I don't want to supplement "IT" with the word "TIME," because it doesn't make sense to do that. I know it is confusing but unless you experience it, you won't know AT ALL what I mean. It wasn't until about eight years later that I even remembered this experience. Up until that point, never once did I have any knowledge of what had happened to me, what I experienced. It was when my x mother-in-law told me that one of the nurses came out to her and my x, and told her that they are trying to save me. Then it all came back as clear as anything. I went to the hospital weeks later to medical records. I requested copies of that day, and when I saw the records I was numb. I couldn't even make sense of them because the majority of what was written had been blacked out. The main doctor screwed up royally and she knew it. So didn't every doctor and nurse in that operating room that day. They knew she screwed up. That operating room was filled with so many people just for me that day. Things went wrong and were bad. A nurse who was with me before I went into the operating room came to me four days later and said, "I have been doing this for 30 years and I have never seen anything so morbid." I remember the fear from the nurses and anesthesiologist in my room. Everyone was there but the doctor. She had been paged and paged. The anesth. couldn't wait any longer to numb me from the chest down. He had to do it in a room where I was instead of the operating room. I remember looking towards the door as he was putting the needle in my back and one nurse said angrily, "where is she??" My whole point here is that your loved one is more alive than he could ever be here. He or she KNOWS exactly who they are. They are just on a different plane. That is it, a different plane. Time doesn't exist. There is no past or future. It is always NOW. We as humans are so small. It is like living on Earth is fake. Again, until you experience a NDE it is difficult to know exactly what I am talking about because I don't have the capability to put it into the "RIGHT" words. To feel you leave your body at an incredible speed through your head is beyond words. You have no control at all because there is no control. Our bodies are just portals. It's what is inside that is solid what means everything. Walking this earth is like being in a pool of water and opening your eyes. That is the only way I can word it. Things are never clear. I will never forget that feeling of KNOWING who I was. You are not able to do that here for whatever reason. So humans here stopped me from going on in the other realm. How long I was gone from here I will never know. It couldn't have been long whatsoever. It just seemed longer where I was because I was able to think and feel and wonder. I have no clue what the line of the two worlds means as far as time goes. Believe me, your love one is at peace. He/she lives and don't ever think "do you really go on?" You absolutely without doubt do!!!!!!!!!!! It's brutal for the ones left behind but I truly believe when you get to where they are, it will be like you were never apart.

I lost my father 12 days ago and right now I am feeling like I'm alive but I'm not able to breath. I still wish it to be my nightmare.

I lost my Dad almost 1 years ago. In the beginning, it was hard. Some people at work didn't really understand. But, I ignored them. It took me a while to be able to go through the day without crying. I can now go through many days without crying. I still have those moments, but, I take and turn them around and make them positive instead of so sad. Now, I have decided and will be certified tomorrow as a Spiritual Care Visitor. Going through the classes has given me more understanding to go through each day and be a comfort to others who need someone to give them comfort. I agree that everyone grieves in their own way, just as everyone is different and unique in their own way.

I'm an orphan (well not in the case of having God) but honestly I know mom and dad are in a better place. They show up quite a bit too, which gives me comfort. I'm going through Grief Share. Unfortunately, due to grief I lost my job but I have interviews coming, so not all hope is lost.

I lost my father 2 weeks ago at 66. It was out of no where. The pain and depression I feel is so strong. He was my best friend. Hoping the days will get better.

recently lost my 32 year old dad from a drug overdose yesterday , today is thanks giving and it kills me not being able to see my father on this beautiful thanksgiving day , I’m 15 years old , and I really need prayers , I found my father dead in his truck slumped over , Me and my mother are not taking it well at all, we both need prayers , thank you ❤️🕊 RIP : Ian Miller

I lost my father this morning. It wasn't sudden but it still hurts. These videos help!

I love you mom😭 my mom died today at 4am and I am heartbroken ... lost for words 💔❤️ I love you so much

Both my parents are gone. I’m so lonely without them!

If I saw you at the airport I would have hugged you and give you hope. It’s unacceptable fir people to ignore. I grieved everyplace on public when I lost my spouse. And yes people came to my rescue, strangers. My so called friends were no place to be found. Today I grieve and grieve and why not? It makes me feel better Heals me . Grieving is fir life

This video resonates so much. Thank t whoever put out. My mum died 13 May 2019. I am now just existing whiling away the time until I leave also. In the meantime it’s horrible every day. I am still stuck on the events leading to her death and the horrible way she died in so much pain and no help from the hospital staff. I am angry and sad at the same time. I panic a lot especially in the evening and on waking up. I listen to NDE and heaven videos and it calms me down. Then I panic when I remember I will not see her in 5, 10, or even 30 years if I live that long. Am 50. My mum was what anchored me my go to person and the perfect example of unconditional love. All that is gone. I am now existing nothing is as before.

My dad does yesterday and I’m 12 and I still can believe that he is gone. I just keep on telling my self that I will see him tomorrow morning

I Lost My Mom From Cancer. I miss my mom so much. ❤

I loss my mom June 2019, it's so hard to accept, I miss her, there are no words to describe the pain in my heart, soul. I have some very bad days. 🙏😔😏

I lost my brother 2 years ago and my dad 2 months ago. Sometimes I feel fine but other times I just break down. I miss them so much. Lord please help me come to terms with their deaths.

I’m gutted. I’m 54, dad was 88, he died of lung cancer at 6am this morning, doesn’t matter or how old you are, when you lose a parent that you love that much, you feel like a helpless 10 year old child…..I didn’t just lose my father, I lost my best friend. It feels like half of me has been ripped away, and I honestly don’t know how I’m supposed to move forward without him. I feel like I’m dying inside right now. This is without a doubt the worst day of my life, and I can’t stop crying, I feel like I should be strong for my family, but my emotions are just overwhelming. I feel totally helpless. It’s not even been 24 hours yet, I’m hoping it will get better, but we still have to plan the funeral. I pray that the funeral will bring some closure. The hospital chaplain brought us into the room where dad’s body was, we all held his hands, and the chaplain begin to pray, I fell off my chair onto the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. I had to leave the room, and momentarily passed out in the hallway. I came too in the quiet room, just down the hall, I don’t even remember walking there. I never thought I would fall apart like this, but it’s so true that you don’t realize how much you love someone until they’re gone. I don’t want to go on without him….I want to join him😰😰😰😰

I lost my mum 12th August 2019 from Alzehmiers. I'm so grateful I was with her in the care home massaging her painful back the day before she died. I loved her. I still wish I had one more moment to hug her and tell her I love her despite telling her I loved her at the time. Xx

I just lost my Dad 1/10/20 after a battle with Cancer. I hadn't been in touch with my dad for over a year prior to. I didnt know the extent of his illness. He wasnt an emotional guy. He wasnt a " talk out my feelings" kinda guy. I was carrying hurt from growing up without him. He wasnt in my life until I was 21 years old, I am now 36. I let anger define me. I felt that he should of been more protective of my feelings. I was always glad that he was a great Pop Pop to my child when she was born. I also have a 2 year old baby brother that he absolutely adored. I felt slighted that I never got that. But, I got my closure. It was only Me there when he took his last breath. I didn't know that I was going to see him that day. Something told me to go see him at that day and time. I believe it was my angel, telling me. I got there, he didnt look like himself. That was my time to let it out. I prayed and 10 minutes later.... He took his last breaths. The Nurse said He waited for me 😢😢 That was his way of saying he was sorry.... I found my peace. Im still so sad tho. For my baby brother and daughter. It's crazy how we share the same hurt but, for different reasons. 😭😭😭😭Im so full of grief and regret but, knowing God lead me to him in his final moments is the closure I needed. I know he is with Us. I love You Dad

My mom just went to Glory a few days ago. I was with her when she took her last breath here on earth. 😢 God showed me that day (especially) He was there; and my mom was getting ready to go to Heaven. Holy Spirit held me up during the time I needed to be strong. I was joyful for my mom that she won the race and she finished strong like the Apostle Paul talks about in scripture, but, I miss my mom TERRIBLY. I have a deep sorrow right now that hurts pretty bad... I took care of my sweet mom for 4 1/2 years. I did it with excellence: I didn't take short cuts or gave her less than my very BEST. I am thankful that I had the privilege and honor to be the one to take care of my mom, and I got to show her how much she is LOVED. I will have those beautiful memories etched in my memory forever.💞 I have two brothers and two sisters and they did not help take care of our mother. I don't know if that guilt and selfishness will catch up to them, but it doesn't really matter now. I got to have those KISSES 😚, LOVE 💗, HUGS 🤗 and WONDERFUL MEMORIES of my BEAUTIFUL, SWEET and LOVING 💗 MOM 💓. I am grieving, but, I do know I will see my mom again; and that brings me comfort. Almighty God has been in this, and He is carrying me through this time of sorrow. Being a Christian brings me so much comfort because I know my mom is in glory with our Lord. 😁 🙏💕I LOVE YOU FOREVER MOM. 💕🙏 I WILL BE WITH YOU AGAIN SOMEDAY.💖🙏 As a Christian we rejoice when a Christian goes to heaven, but we grieve because we love and miss the person God has taken home.

I just lost my Father who was 76, 3 days ago this is by far the hardest thing I've ever done 😔

My father passed away a month ago he died due to lung and brain cancer. We were relieve he had passed his suffering and in agony was over with. It isnt easy at all it takes time to heal from it. I cry all the time and i see his clothes and his way of life and its like a movie that plays in my head over and over!! Hearing his voice i love you mija

Mom died today 1/25/24 I have had her and Dad living with me for almost 20 years now. She passed quickly(heart attack) and I am missing her terribly already. I didn't want her to go through a long period of suffering, but to lose her so fast is just heart breaking. Even worse is to watch my Dad the strongest man I know break down and cry because the love of his life is gone. They were married for 67 years and dated 2 years prior to getting married, so 69 years together. I know we will get through but right now it seems so overwhelming and my role of caregiver is going to change dramatically. I feel very lost.

Last year, on August 16th, I woke up to get some breakfast, I was about to say good morning to my mother, I looked over to the couch, and saw her on the floor completely passed out. I was horrified, as I shook her to try to wake her up, but nothing happened. I checked her pulse, I didn’t feel anything. I was completely terrified about how the worst was yet to come, so I called my sister to see if she could help me, after a couple minutes, we called 911. The paramedics came and tried to resuscitate her. We were in another room hoping for a miracle. After 15 or 25 minutes of attempted recovery, the medics told us they’re going to call it. It hit me straight into the heart that they couldn’t save her. Tears were about to come out of my eyes as soon as I heard the bad news. Before they took her, I cried over my mother’s corpse, and gave her one last hug. It was so unbearable. Few days later at a mortuary, I saw my mother for the last time, and I started crying again because I lost someone I love with all my heart. I should have said something nice at her funeral, but I was about to cry again and didn’t have the words to speak up. I still can’t get over her death. But most of the time, I would get to see her again in my dreams. I still can’t get over the loss of my own mom. I miss you so much mother. 😢

just lost my dad on july 4th. hes been sick for years & knew this day would come but i thought we had more time. i had just seen him within the hour. suddenly he suffered a heart attack. got woken up & couldnt believe it. i love you dad. i miss you so such. ima make you proud

I lost my mum 4th of September 2019 I lost her to cancer, she was stage 4 gastric cancer she was fighter my beautiful sweet angel

I lost my beloved mother in 2017, stomach cancer. I quit working for 3 years to spend the rest of her days with her. It was so hard seeing my mother go through it, just slowly deteriorating. I'm still heartbroken in 2019, can't sleep, can't really get it together. I miss her more than anything. I cry everyday.

I miss you grandma, even though I lost you today, I felt like I lost you too long ago.

Lost my mom 2 weeks ago. She was 72. It was hard to lose someone who love you dearly.

I lost my mom last year in may due to cancer.shes truly missed.i felt like a part of me die that day.but I meet her again someday on the other side.sometime I still cry

Mum I really miss you. You are my everything. It has been almost half a year, I still cannot forgot how much you have loved me. I wish I have spent more time with you, I will forever miss you Mama.

Losing my mom has been the most painful loss of my life. 💔😭

My mom’s dad died in 2015 from several different illnesses at only 55 years old, and I was 7 when he died. miss you grandpa 😢

I lost my dad in Aug of this year now I'm losing my mom. She has cancer and is on hospice. It takes a piece of you that you cannot imagine. Bless the ones who lost their parents.

My sister called me this evening to tell me our mom died a little while ago. I just feel angry. I feel so broken, numb, sad. This grieving is going to be very difficult.

2 weeks ago we took Dad into hospital because he was unwell & not looking the best. 1 weeks ago we find out he has cancer and he wants to go home. 3 days ago we bring him back home. 2 days ago (March 4th) he's gone. Absolutely heartbroken 💔 but he didn't suffer as far as we know but I take comfort in knowing he's now with mum. But sweet Jesus it hurts so much 😢

Thank you all so much for sharing so openly. Love to you all.

I lost my mum today 29/03/21 She is my hero!I still can't believe it...

I’m 12 and on July 1st, 2019 I lost my dad. He was a farmer but one of his favorite hobbies was flying. He had a small aircraft and he loved flying it, he had just built a building for it, a runway, etc. It was a normal day and me, my brother, and my mom where outside while my sister was inside. I saw his plane approaching from a wrong angle. I thought it was odd. Then I heard the engine shut off in mid air. I looked at my mom and went, oh shit. His plane then went tip down and crashed. I ran to it and tried to pull him out but he was belted in. He passed on impact. The passenger side was already on fire and I knew I had to get back before the final explosion. As I ran back the whole thing burst into flames. It’s been 6 months and I still don’t want to believe he’s gone. I really don’t know what to do with my life. I’ve dropped out of school and am starting online school bc I got bullied by people, mainly one of my “best friends” I’ve said fuck it and I’m living how I want now. Anyone that has lost a love one, just know you’re not alone.

On January 28th 2024, while watching football with my dad, he had a massive heart attack and died in my living room. It was traumatic watching the process of the heart attack and watching him die. The first few weeks, I have no idea what happen. I don't remember making funeral arrangements, I barley remember the funeral. I cried all day, everyday for the next few weeks. Then about week 5, I felt my fathers spirit and since then I have been ok. I feel he is ok. However, I have really bad anxiety now. I actually physically shake when I have to be IN front of people. I am working with a therapist but the trauma is still here.

I lost my father at age 2 or 3, I didn't understand what death meant. when I'd realised I was never going to see him again, I couldn't believe it. he died in his 20's, too young. my mother was actually supposed to be with him he night he died, but she was angry at him since he didn't come to something. He died in his sleep, he was drunk, and had to throw up. he didn't turn over in time, and he choked on his on vomit. Still to this day I hold anger to my mother and I have a deep hole in my heart that should be filled in, for my dad.

Miss my mum. Its been 5 months since she left. Only forever to go 😢

Lost my dad in 2017. He lived in Georgia after him and mom split up. My uncle called one night as I was drinking with my friends. He said my dad had died in his sleep almost 8 days ago. No one knew. He died of cirrossis of the liver. I still break down knowing I could have at least called him more. He loved me dearly as I loved him. It's been the worst Pain I've ever felt. He left behind 8 children. He was only 55. I stopped drinking as much and I've almost cut it out completely. He still appears in my dreams about every night.

Im 24 and lost my mum to cancer last year then 18 months lost my dad and my home. I find people avoid talking to me about it coz it will put a downer on their day. The one thing i have learnt is that it doesnt easier you just learn to put on a better show.

Lost my Nan on November 1, She raised me and was all I had for a long time. I did good until today when I completely feel apart. The video hit home as ive already heard many of the cliches stated and all the literature on grief isnt really speaking to me. Its good to hear im not alone.

I lost my mom in August of 2020. It was unexpected and a shock. She had something similar to a stroke and a week later she was gone. Her last words to me were "I love you too". 19 minutes later she had that event happen to her. I'm grateful that she said that to me just before it happened, but I am still beyond grief stricken. The holidays are approaching. I am trying to just get through them. I am in denial. I keep thinking that this is temporary. When it hits me that I will never see her again, I feel like I have been punched in the stomach. I'm angry because I promised her I would keep her safe from COVID, but it was something unexpected that got her. She was 73 and in great health otherwise. I have had a few dreams where she has visited me. One of them she told me that she misses me. I am an only child and have never had to deal with something like this before.

I just lost my mom 7-20-19.she had copd and lung cancer she believed in the lord with her whole heart the only thing she told me she was afaid of the unknown.she was one of the bravest person i know she fought until she could no longer fight.she is with the lord Jesus.i talk to her every day and every night i know she is around me i feel her all the time.i took care of her i have no regrets i would do it again.i love you mama see you when i come home🙏💖

I lost my father 1/17/20 over the weekend. It has been very difficult situation but just seeing these videos and comments I feel like now I’m not alone. I’m still in denial but hopefully it will get easier. I miss him so much 😞

I lost my Dad to stage 4 prostate cancer. He fought for 7years. I am also “the oldest “,lots of responsibility. However, it was an honor. I miss him. It all seems like a bad dream. There isn’t a day that goes by I don’t say “I want my Dad back” . Death is unfair. Society unfairly places rules on grief. It is so hard to grieve “quietly “.

I lost my dad just this night. I don’t know what to do. I feel lost... so I tried to watch something like this. Because I don’t really know what to do....

I didn't lose my dad like a hat that can be found again. He was in a car accident and laid brain dead for 2 weeks before he died. A piece of my soul was taken from me and will never again be living on this earth in this form with me.

I have just found out my mum has terminal cancer. She had a seizure on New Years Day and my world has been turned upside down. They scanned her, saw mass on the pancreas and stomach lining. Next day they spotted blood clots on the lung, and then spots on the brain. It just gets worse and worse. I am watching this preparing myself for what is next. We were so close. Connected like no other. She is home to me and I know I will be now forever lost. I don’t think I can carry on.

I have just lost dad 3 days ago. I feel broken. My wife and I have looked after him for 7 years as he had dementia and Alzheimer’s. Watching him fade away was heart breaking. I was with him all through his final days. 😪😪😪😪

I lost my mom 2 weeks ago and i was there when she passed...... This is so hard

My mother passed when I was little I cry to this day every day. I can’t get over it no matter how hard I try. I ask the lord to take me so I can be home with both my parents 😢♥️

Thanks for this video, I lost my Dad 6 weeks ago. It's the toughest most rotten thing one has to go through

I lost my father at 13, my mom suffered a heart attack this week and it’s not looking good. I’m 26 now, From my experiences with my father I realize that you can never be prepared for the loss of a parent. No matter what the circumstances are. Remember the good times and cherish those. Remember who they are as a person. How they use to kiss your forehead or rub your eyes until you fall asleep. I’m devastated today, but certain that I will come out of this a stronger person. Don’t give up on yourself ever! Life will do things to you and you might find yourself in a hole. It’s okay to feel stuck these are some of the most crucial times of growth. Just listen to what I’m saying and don’t dwell. Do not dwell. Life is going to take its course regardless and as much as you or I can say I should have could have would have. We can’t. It’s life. They’re in a better place. Let them fly and watch you grow as their child into a beautiful adult.

I know that the Lord led me to this RU-vid video. I was listening to the young woman Leona tell the story of losing her parent unexpectedly. The irony of this is that my mom's name is Leona and she died unexpectedly in her sleep. Thank you Leona for sharing. It has helped me cope with my Leona going from labor to reward.

my dad died four days ago, he was healthy and it was unexpected. now i am a thirteen year old not knowing how to live anymore without my dad, i saw him today for the last time and i am just so scared to love, live, breathe.

i just lost my father today. i still don’t know what to do. i’m just happy i answered his phone called last night.

I lost my father this morning due to a motorcycle accident in san diego. He was such a great man and everybody misses him so much. He is my best friend and everything and idk how to deal with this huge loss. He was helping me get my life together after I recently left the marine corps but now...im so lost and wish he was still here.

I miss my Mum so much

Thank you so much for this loving and informative video. My dad is dying as I write this message; I am crying for my own selfish reasons for my dad to wake up from being Comfortably sedated “daddy I’m thinking of you please don’t forget me.” Dad I will see you in God’s Providence

My Mom died May 2nd, 2019. I am alone. And the man that promised my mom he would not mistreat me, as bailed on me an is mistreating. Told me he as someone else all the time while he was telling me and my mom he is single. I miss my Mom so so so very much....every day I cry....at times I am confuse people just pissing my off because people just want me to end my grief. My Mother died!!! She was my whole world...she is all I know!!!

Thank you for posting this. It makes me feel not as alone feeling these terrible feelings after unexpectedly losing my wonderful Mother 2 months ago.

Wow its your foundation being pulled away your patents are part of you they fill your heart up with unconditional love and admeration berry hard

Lost my dad on March 10 2019

Not one person can understand what you feel, only until they have experienced the same! You can then try to help someone by saying "i did this when i......" to help them go trough it. The only good thing that comes out of a situation like this is that you can help others who are going through it. I hope you understand what i mean with that. The passing of my parents, i will probably never get over, but i try to cope. So cry, shout and kick that trash can, but do not bottle it up! They watch over us, and we will see each other again! Till then, your loved ones would not want you to grieve, they want you to go on with life! Honour them by doing that! Do not forget them, think of good times not bad, and talk about them an TO them. They can see and hear us! Love!!! ❤️

It's been 2 years since I lost my mom and I just dont know how to move on. Every day is like it just happened. I miss her so much and I'm so mad she just left me here all alone.

My Mother was the most gentle and loving woman. As her son I helped her to fight cancer each day for 10 years. The evil cancer took her life on 2/28/2019. She died in agony & it was so terrible. She's with The Lord now, I miss her so much.
