My wife of 8 years died from stage 4 gastric cancer in July 9th 2021 she was only 29 we have two beautiful children she was diagnosed January 2021 very unexpectedly. Thanks for this video hope god continue give me the strength to stay strong!
My mom died last week at 60 years old, she was sick for 6 years with Early Onset Alzheimer's but ultimately she died of Covid which she got from a recent hospital visit. The rest of my family got Covid eventually as well. Now I'm recovering from Covid and grieving my mom at the same time. None of us were able to go to her burial and she wasn't able to have a proper funeral.
Wow, that actually makes sense now that the stages of grief were really the stages one goes through when they themselves are dying. My father went through all of those before he passed away, just mixed up a bit and not in that order exactly. I was in a state of shock mixed with sadness for about a month after he passed and now I'm crying a lot and really processing those feelings. My sleep patterns are really messed up. I wake up in the middle of the night with anxiety. I just want to cry everyday.
Hi! I am an occupational therapist by trade. I am also a 2 timer on this very stage. I am also autistic. Now, I am also a curator for one of these TEDx events. So, I have been listening to this talk online from 4 perspectives. Content wise- this is really good. You went quite deep and made yourself vulnerable. I can also tell that you have a strategy for your slides design. Meanwhile, I think this is one of the talks where humor is not too important. Rather, you have heightened people's attention through your stories. So, this made me understand that not all TEDx talks need humor to make their speeches great. As someone who was recently diagnosed with autism (mine was in 2010), although I accepted my diagnosis because I kind of expected it at that time, I still went through my share of grief. I think because of the time and context of when it happened, I really would have wished my classmates sat down with me and spent time to talk to me to understand how I felt. But, I didn't blame them because graduate school is a hard place to do that. That said... my classmates told me later that they were proud of how resilient I was and now I ended up having a great bit more professional success than they do. As an occupational therapist, mental health is an area we are supposed to be competent at. And sometimes there are some of us who deal with patients who are in this very state. Your presentation has raised some important points on allied health professionals on how to help this population.
Thank you so much for your talk. I so would ike to have someone like you that I could share and talk with. I am hurt and grieve so much. Thank you so much.
Of course, especially when you are aware that your situation . They grieve the incomplete relationships, hopes and dreams they have not completed or fulfilled.
