Grief, Loss, and Grieving from the Inside Out 

This is my first time experiencing grief ,so close to my heart,My 21 and a half year old Special Needs daughter departed this life almost 10 months ago,and I'm a up and down see saw ,Grief is so overwhelming and individualized,,To all the people who have lost thier love ones ,,May your tears cleanse your soul ,May your ❤️ find solace and comfort in your spirt.....

Thank you. I discovered making grief sacred on my own as the only way to cope with the emotional pain. My loss was compounded by other loss to make matters even more intense. I have never quite experienced this emotional pain in my 55 years of existence, brought to hopelessness, despair, self loathing, hatred of others, suicidal thoughts, and on and on. But I'm still here and moving forward, I think this is the best way to honor those who have passed by making my grief sacred in their honor. Thank you again for this video.

I too am sorry for your loss. Thank you for helping others like myself deal with tragedy. May GOD bless you.

Just found your site. Your words make so much sense to me, thank you. Eight months into grief journey I am still trying to find new purpose but your video resonated with my experience. So sorry for your loss

Found your channel today on my birthday because this is the first birthday without my mom. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I just realised today that she's gone forever and not coming back any time soon😔

I also lost my only child last June 8 2022, he was 10 yr old. thanks for your channel.

Counselor Carl, I know this post from you is old, but I lost my son Ben 3 months ago at age 31, June 3rd. He is my oldest of 3 children. It has turned my world life existence upside down. Many who have never gone through this type of loss say a lot of quiches which hurt more, and want to rush me through healing. Also because of how he passed they dismiss his life and my loss. Thank you for truth, kindness. I would love to receive a response from you. Happy Memorial Day and remembering your love for your daughter and my beautiful Ben. Zan.

My 21 yr old daughter passed away last year Amanda. I'm still crying every day and night. I go to the cemetery everyday to sit with her till closing it's like a hole in my soul . Miss you baby wish it was me not you

Thank you the past few months. How ever this week has been nothing but tears tears and more tears! It helps so much, why!

My husband is at the point of reaching 12 months. His birthday is on the 26 Aug 22 and father's day, following. On the 19th September he passed away.., last year. Three days later is the anniversary of one our daughters death. February the next year his eldest brother passed away. I thought I had begun to get through motions of my daughters death, but this heightened the pain and grief when having to select a coffin for my husband. This was the day of of the anniversary of our daughters death, and I seem to be OK except for the difficulty with having to choose for my husband. I immediately noticed a small coffin as we entered the room, taking me back to that time we were doing the same for her. The chapel my brother in law was held in was the same as the one was held for her. It is taking me so long to get through the different phases, and feel like I'm reliving her loss again also. I'm awake all night, and all day, and when I do collapse to sleep it's only for a couple of hours in the day, rarely at night. I also have daughter in palliative care, and she has at best two to five years. I won't allow her to dwell on it. I say to her, that while you are breathing you have life. Except she is now on an oxygen machine, and has the same heart desease as her father. Both my girls have krones, as does my grand daughter. What do I do. However I have found what you are showing helpful, but burst into tears,constantly. I will take notice and act on your advice as best I can. Thank you kindly.

I lost my daughter 2 months ago I am very sad. I can't live without her. In India there is no good counselor. My son who is 21 years old also miss his sister , she was his soulmate. I don't know how we overcome from this grief it was unexpected death.

I cannot stop obsessing the devastating sudden unnatural and mysterious loss of my firstborn son. There is an inquest going on and with each revelation, my son's death becomes more inexplicable. I will never get over it but carry it to my grave.

You are a very special wise man.

I am sorry for your loss councilar Carl thank you for helping others

I am so sorry for your loss, Counselor Carl. I wonder if this seismic experience has helped to make you the warm, empathic and compassionate person that I feel through the screen. Perhaps the love you obviously felt for your daughter lives on through your work? You have and continue to help me so much and this video today is appropriate.. My mum died 6 months ago and I am trying to adjust to a life without her...your words today have helped me very much. Thankyou.

Thank you for helping so many.

Helpful video, thank you. I think I'm stuck in grief...

Thanks so much I am very sorry for your loss I just loss my brother to suicide October 1 2021.

I lost my dad because of covid 19 pneumonia I really miss him so much I don't know now how to continue my life without my beloved father 🥺💔

How do I find a safe support system. How do I make it sacred.

You mentioned " not grieving more than necessary" , but I really want to know how do we know whats the limit of this " necessary" that is being talked about , since the grieving process is subjective , how do we know realise when enough is ENOUGH , I am always confused about this

Do you have any information on how to find a free grief group? Thank you for the videos i found them helpful. Grief is overwhelming.

💜🙏🏻💜

I lost my fiancee days ago The pain is unbearable. I feel guilt ..I should have done this I should have done that..
