It is hard to find videos of a father's perspective on child loss. We felt it was important to film a father's loss and give the public tips on how he coped, what helped him, what he went through the first year and what thoughts and actions helped him move through the grieving process. We hope you find this video helpful to you whether you are on your own road of grief or you're trying to relate to a friend in need.

@LiseWrigley Год назад

Sending you a huge hug. I am so sorry. Just remember you are not crazy. This level of pain is surreal and sadly, normal. When you are ready, find a fellow bereaved parents group. Most people simply do not inderstand. I recommend The Compassionate Friends. There is sure to be a chapter near you. It costs nothing and is a by and for bereaved parents support group. We members have lost our children in all sorts of ways.The group has no hidden agendas to deal with. If you live in British Columbia Canada, there a group called Moms Stop The Harm which specifically deals with the epidemic of fentanyl poisonings. Men can join too. They are for bereaved parents ( Healing hands )and also for parents who fear they are going to receive " the call" from authorities at any time. ( Holding hope.) I have four friends who find these groups a godsend. Good luck and take care. You are not alone.

We lost our 18 year old son and only child 52 days ago. So much of what you said resonated with me. I broke down when you spoke anout a father’s job is to protect your children and you failed because that’s exactly how I feel right now. Not only did I fail him and his future, but also that of my wife and I. We are just completely adrift right now and don’t understand what purpose can be left for us now. We have at least made contact with a local support group of those who have unfortunately experienced this, and have our next counseling appointment tomorrow, so hopefully that will help. Although I can see your obvious pain, outreach like this does give me hope that you can eventually find some way out of this darkness.

Thank you for sharing your story. I lost my son (Daniel - 23) to fentanyl in early 2023. He was a wonderful person and I miss him every day. I choose to remember Daniel and the light that he provided to everyone who knew him through talking about him. I tell stories - generally fun and warming tales - to keep him present within me. I will never get to hug or hear him again...but I will ALWAYS have the memories of him and the life we got to be part of for 23 years. Life is not easy, and when something like this happens it is easy to let yourself go to a dark place. I choose to find the positive that I had a son that brought great memories and was such a wonderful part of my life. He was not always an easy kid, but he had a very kind and loving heart. It is with that, I encourage anyone who is reading this to don't give up on your memories. They are a way to celebrate your child and keep them close to you, as you continue to live your life.

This got me sobbing. I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my 20 yrs old April 29, 2018 (youngest of 4) to Suicide. I got stuck there (April 28 & 29, 2018). It consumed the life out of me. It's gonna be 3 yrs in April, but to me it feels like it just happened yesterday. I don't know why, it didn't make any sense. He has depression since he was in high school but he was saying a counselor. He was in college when it happened. He was a very smart talented kind person. Double major, film and theater. He was an actor, movie writer, editor, producer, director, song writer, rapper, singer, dancer, choreographer. He was hired by the school as an IT tech (self thought) and a dance fitness instructor. He called me on the night of April 28th, he was all happy because his movie premier was successful. He says he has invited everyone in his apartment to party. I told him I was so happy for him. And told him to be careful and enjoy his party. This last words were "i love you mom". I didn't know that's the last time I'm going to hear him say that. I'm saw your channel because I'm searching "how to overcome a death of a child"? It's been 3 years, there was not s day i didn't cry. And everyday, the incident is always playing in my head. I always see my son standing in the middle of the train tracks waiting for the freight train to hit him. People who lost a child says, in thing it does get easier. I can't wait to reach that point. God is my saviour. My world is very dark. I'm lost. I am only functioning because of him.

@ParentsforWindowBlindSafety 3 года назад

Mary, I am so sorry to read this. Grief is so hard and it such a long process. It is very consuming. Time is the enemy. Suicide is so difficult because there are so many unanswered questions.

@godsfav1780 4 месяца назад

My dear, I can't say that I know how you feel as we all grieve differently. I am so sorry to hear if your loss. Yes, it makes no sense. What I've realized from losing my beloved son, is that we cannot see their pain. They mask it very well. Often they seem so happy but inside they are suffering. We can only do so much to help. I realized that there is no turning back as my son is really gone. Every day I wonder what else I could have done but truthfully, there was nothing else I could have done. He was loved, he was supported, we were always there for him. He was unfortunately fighting some demons and even prayers did not save him from dying. I therefore surrendered him to God, as I realized there was nothing else to do. God did call him home and I am now at peace with that, even though my heart is now in pieces. You will never be the same again, but we must continue to live, as that is what they would want. May God grant you peace as the days go by.

So my son passed away in 2014 bit it feels like it happened yesterday. My family just isn't the same with him gone. We all deal with it in our own way I guess. The worst part is walking into a room and seeing my wife crying and knowing there's absolutely nothing I can say or do to comfort her. They say time heals all wounds but that's not true. You just hide the wound and bare the pain because life must go on. But all the hurt is always just beneath the surface.

As a father it is expected to be the rock and foundation for the family. I still have more venting to do, because when everything becomes to silent around me I hear my sons half cries and thinking of myself that there was nothing i could do to fix it, feeling helpless as I carried my son through his final minutes until he became silent and body cold. Dreams shattered at the time, I still hold my tears.

We also have a 6 year old who was unfortunatelly present at the time of the accident. It slowly does get easier, at least some days are a bit lighter...until the grief puts me right back where I was on day 1. We try to live on for our 6 y.o. but it is so hard sometimes. Especially night time can be horrific when the reality really hits causing panic and terror which manifests in insomnia. We keep busy, we work, have hobbies...but everything is somehow shaded by the loss of our little Timi. I hope you and your family are doing better as the time passes.

My 20 year old daughter passed away on September 27 from a massive pulmonary embolism. Blood clots were in each of her lungs and they may have been triggered by the hormonal birth control pills she was taking. Our family is just devastated. She had complained of back pains during the two weeks prior to her death, and she sought medical treatment, but the doctors didn’t find anything. One day our daughter was a lively college student getting ready for exams and 24 hours later she was gone. I found this video to be very helpful. Thank you for posting. Please Lord give us strength.

Lost my beloved sweet handsome son (26)to a hit and run on 10.23.23. The pain of losing a child is totally on a different level of grief. When Ceejay died, we couldn’t come to grips with how anything positive could come from reflecting on a life that had ended so tragically. It made us sick to think of what we had lost, what he had lost. Memories of my son weren’t comforting, far from it. Remembering was so painful we tried to avoid it. How could we possibly find solace in any memory while we were reeling from grief? , “In the end all we are left with are memories. Bits and pieces of the time we’ve spent together. No matter how long the time was, it will never seem like enough.”

@@Coco-dz3id Oh I am SO glad he is in remission! I know another little boy who has survived and thrived with medulloblastoma.

I feel as if my daughter lives with a loaded gun to her head, as another mother said about her child. We hold our breath with every scan, as I know you do also.

steelmagnolia 1085 I sure wish I knew. Because your right. I died too the night my son passed. I feel a giant hole in my heart and a physical pain in my gut that never goes away. And for me its made worse because I don't have a support system. No one in my family ever calls to see if I'm okay. Friends either. It's like no one cares that Zayin died. Well he DID matter. He mattered to me and he mattered to God. If I think right, I see that God in his infinite wisdom and mercy saved my son that night, because I know he isn't gone, he exists now in another demension that I will one day too be a part of. But it doesn't take away the enormous hole he left in my heart when he left.

I lost my son Will, he passed away August 5th, he was 12. He was my sunshine and my all. I watched him suffer for 6 years. He had xlp2 a primary immunodeficiency and nod2...genetic Crohns Disease. He passed away after his bone marrow transplant rejected. It's hard to find meaning now...I try to understand why but there is no reason why, there is no reason why a child should die ever. But I wake up and try my best because my son told me to before he died, it's hard to keep my promise. We loved each other so fiercly,he was suffering...He was an old soul...I used to say I wanted to be like him when I grew up. One day maybe there will be understanding and all I can do is keep his memory alive by talking about him and his amazing life. He documented his last couple months alive on RU-vid. His channels name is Ripped Pheonix...He was so brave...I miss him every second...every millisecond..😙😇

I think it becomes more bearable until it doesn’t if that makes sense. I try to find comfort in his memory and life but I want him back. The things we miss out on is a constant reminder. How are supposed to go on? I will be praying for your peace and understanding! God bless you!

@jayjay3337 2 года назад

I'm so sorry, I've been in that position before wondering the same thing, but for different situations. The only thing that kept me here was knowing the grief I would then place on my loved ones. I also try to find joy every day in the little things; the sun on my skin, the sound of birds singing, the beautiful stars at night, the memories of happy and funny times with those loved ones who have passed. And just knowing that this is the only chance we have at this life, and it'll end at some point for all, and so why not try and honour those who aren't here anymore by living the way they would want us to. That's what I think to myself when I'm struggling, anyway. Also personally I believe I'll be with my loved ones again some day, and I know they would want me to live life to the fullest before and not waste a minute, before we do meet again. But everyone grieves and deals with trauma and difficulty differently. I just hope you can find joy in the tiny things each day, and remember your little one not by the small moment of how they left this world, but by all those times when they truly lived it and brought you love and joy. My thoughts are with you ❤

@@JahThaGod12 I understand you. I had a nightmare few days ago of a baby relative dying. When I woke I was crying longer than usual and when I saw that baby again I broke down in tears on my knees. And that was cuz of a nightmare. I can't imagine what you are going through. You are already so strong for holding the phone and talking about something sensitive like this. Bravo If your child passed away less than a year ago or less than 6 months ago, it is totally normal to feel all of this. But just know that it was not your fault. If you knew the future, you would have prevented that thing from happen. But you are a human. Be kind to yourself! You couldn't do anything about it, your baby knows you would never let them die without fighting for their life. Just remember to accept both the depression and every other emotion you go through (happiness, love, excitement, etc.) allow your emotions to exist. When you are sad, cry. Don't keep it inside you. When you think you took to long, take a deep breath and rub your chest. Whenever you are happy, just be happy and laugh. Don't remind yourself of your loss. And if you do remember try to ignore these thoughts by saying "no!" "no!" It really works if you try it for numerous times.
