grief is tricky and not enough of us are talking about how to co-exist with it. i'm learning that grief never really leaves you, but rather you learn to cope overtime. whether it be a romantic partnership, family member or past version of yourself, there truly is no time limit that can be set on how long you should grieve what is no longer.
the best thing that i've done for myself was fully immerse myself within the present moment and practice mindfulness to not allow my mind drift too far off into the deep end. and if it does, that's ok. learning to create space for all my thoughts and feelings without passing judgement. you should try it too. anyways, i hope your week is going amazing! take care all ways, always. enjoy! xo ❣️

Jesus Christ bore it all on the cross and defeated it by risingg again 3 days later. The Lord can deliver you , hear you , speak to you and heal you but you have to come to yourself and allow Him to do a work in you. You can talk to him , yell , ask hard questions and let His Holy Spirit answer you and lead you to a heart of confessing that you need Jesus christ to save you and that you will believe and accept his sacrifice and ressurection. Unlike others my God is alive and active and He will prove himself as true if you only give Him a chance. Let Him love you , Let him heal you even from things you may blame him for. The Lord causes no harm , satan is roaming around too but through the pain will be comfort , vindication , a testimony. Let Him love yall ❤ bless

@stellaallbright4750 24 дня назад

I'm 45, single, no kids, live on my.own, and LOVE IT!! I have 5 rescue dogs saved from death row and I network other dogs in need into rescues. My biggest fear is my finances. I don't have a savings, safety net, retirement, health insurance, I don't own my own home, and live paycheck to paycheck, making under $15/hour (after taxes) working as a paralegal in the Midwest. I worry so much about the future due to my financial status that I've stayed too long in terrible relationships. Not because I'm afraid of being alone, but because I can't make it our there on my own financially, and as I get older my concern only grows. 💜

@vanja222 22 дня назад

I feel the same, but you know what, I saw too many people have all of that, and one day they have a heart attack, or lose a home due to an earthquake, or someone in their family gets sick and all the bad endings because nothing is certain, it has been proven that people like us manage better in life crises (we are used to living in an uncertain way 😉) Don’t worry, we will find our way. As long as we are healthy we can make money and secure our future 🫶

@wonder12374 22 дня назад

Not sure what part of the Midwest you live in, but go to government jobs .Com being a paralegal, you have developed an impressive administrative skill set that could transition you to a higher paying admin job working for the city, County or state. Good luck.

@eshaepperson5945 2 месяца назад

Something else I find extremely important is knowing how to identify grief. You don’t always feel grief when someone close has died. You could’ve lost a part of yourself. Grieving an older version, or a relationship you were forced to cut off from. A lot of the time, we overlook that these are feelings of grief and oftentimes don’t develop the healthy coping mechanisms because we simply never learned to understand our grieving, let alone identify it as grieving.

Regardless of where I relocate, I can’t seem to run away from Grief. I have acknowledged that my faith and God has kept me sane. The key is to recognize that it’s OK for me to get professional help

This video helped me tonight, I've been grieving my friendships in my singleness both of my best friends have gotten married within the past year and I don't spend time with like I used to naturally. While grieving what we used to have I am figuring out who I am now, I am not who I used to me 6 months ago let alone 5 years ago. It's a lot to process but I know I'll get there.Sometimes it's hard not having someone to talk to about it outside of God.

@poet82n 2 месяца назад

This is what I've been dealing with. Grief on so many levels. Grief in mourning my mom who passed 3/28/22, my older cousin who passed the day before my mom's burial, my auntie who passed the year before my mom, my godfather who passed 12/13/22, and my godmother who passed 9/2023. My whole support system is now gone. Then as you mentioned, understanding that I've been grieving the 7-year old me from the abuse, added with all the additional experiences we deal with as women. I can go on and on with what that looks like for me all the way to medical diagnosis and intimate relationships. Feeling like you can breathe one minute, then the next life has you in a choke hold. And like you...learning how to take control at this big age in my life and reinvent myself. Enjoying your journey. I definitely love the new style of vlogs you got going on, the voiceovers and beautiful gems you are sharing on your journey. And also your new mic is great. Sounds awesome. What brand is that?

Grief is such a crazy thing. I have sickle cell and was diagnosed at 2 days old but I didn't have my first flare up until I was 9. Why? Because of grief. My aunt died of cancer when I was 9 and that same week I had my first ever sickle cell flare up, stress is a huge trigger for my illness and the amount of stress that comes with grief is fucking annoying(excuse my french). Because of that grief I was diagnosed with depression at 10, later diagnosed with BPD at 12, then later diagnosed with autism so I have always been in a constant state of grief. Grieving the life I didn't and will never get, grieving who I could've been if my life didnt revolve around multiple illnesses that I did not ask for. Watching all my other friends live the lives of normal 20 something yr olds while im stuck, stagnant, grieving the could've, would've, should've. I truly hope to anyone reading this we all find our way past the grief and out into a new era of happiness, no longer stuck and waiting for change.

I really hope the best for us as well. Because it's tough out here just surviving for some of us.

You are too cute!.. I love your content!.. love your space/home decor, your routine/ cooking and how you're taking care of yourself. It didn't seem like you shared what type of grief you are dealing with, or maybe I missed it. For me, I have been dealing with grief and loss mostly for the past 3 years starting with losing my dad at the beginning of 2021, and it all seems to have gone downhill from there... We were very close and I still miss him a lot. A few months after he passed, I suffered a huge financial loss that I'm still recovering from, I'm also now 2 months post-breakup one of the most painful, if not the most painful romantic love connection I have ever experienced in my life, which lasted about a year long on and off. Grief is not a popular topic nowadays, especially on social media so thank you for touching on that, and making it look cool to talk about. Vulnerability inspires.. While we can totally heal alone, on our own, I truly believe there is strength in numbers and that our stories can encourage and uplift one another even if it's to show that we are not alone in this, and there is light at the end of the tunnel. For me, as a Christian, and a believer in Jesus-Christ, my faith and spirituality is what I have been resting upon, and what has carried me through my darkest days. Ultimately, life is what you make of it & I love how you cope with yours. I'm still in search of a healing community myself if anyone knows of one. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Came across your channel. I lost my only son a year ago and the grief is still so painful. I know it will always be there. He was my whole world. Living life is the hardest now. I am grateful for the family and friends I have. Grief is something we have to deal alone only we know how we feel. I am taking it day by day the best I can. You just made my son favorite kind of drink too. He loves matcha. Also yellow has been in my radar more after his passing. It represents a lot of him to me. The sun, he liked pineapple everything and had a yellow car. I think he wanted to see this message.

The way this vlog fed my soul! GIRL! 🥲Amani, I know you're a GRWM, but when I say, the level of maturity you display at your tender age, is so FN admirable and inspiring.🤌🏽Your mere existence gives me so much hope for the future of humanity. Never stop, baby girl! You're definitely in the right place and on the right path.😘💕

I do not like living alone anymore, I've reached an expiration date. I've been a loner pretty much all of life and have exhausted time by myself. Grief is complex in so many ways because there are so many forms of it. I'm glad that this video was posted. Thank you❤ First time watching, cute home!

I can’t wait to live alone! My husband left me for a younger woman after twenty years of marriage and my youngest daughter is now a senior in HS. We will live together until she gets through her school year. Roommates for now. Thanks for the inspiration ❤

I used to love being by myself when I was single. Now that I have kids, I cannot see myself living in solitude like this anymore. Kids bring joy, life, hope, reason to wake up everyday in my life. Also, seek Jesus and make him part of your life and family every day and put god first in everything you do.

Thank you first of all for this lovely soothing vlog and another thank you for that big slap in the face that I absolutely needed at this exact moment. Currently I’m dealing with just that…grief. Grief of that happy girl I once knew who’s so far gone idk how to get back! But like you say, “regardless ima be Ight” I love you girl!! Forever a supportive subscriber!

chileeee I literally been in a similar space and recorded something about it the other day. Actually accepting we are always evolving and not really starting over but starting new and adding to who we are. Those versions may not be who we are but doesn't mean we aren't who we are. You hit it on the nose that the only things we can actually care about is what we do NOW

@SEAofMARINA День назад

Oh I loveeeeeee this video😍😍 it felt so inspiring for me to write and just record and get out of my head tryna make content look aesthetic

@faebalina7786 Месяц назад

A little bit of living alone is wonderful, therapeutic even ,a lot of it is can be scarily lonely,then if you can push through it becomes normal and company becomes both a dream and a pain but not a reality.I was always scared to reach that last stage where I can stand nothing but my own company and lose all patience for people.Effectively becoming a hermit because I came close but things outside my circumstances pulled me out.

New sub here love the living alone content. My grief is kinda different but it kinda feels like loneliness so to speak. I relocated solo from my hometown and almost no family comes to visit. I don’t go back that often because I feel no one reaches out to me so I’m trying to enjoy my life. Just hit 50, stress and debt free it feels amazing but still think about things I can’t control… Keep up the great vlogs and shining because you are an inspiration to others 💪🏽!!!

Staying disciplined/consistent with the gym was the only thing I could never do. As soon as I got that down I started to see some real results. Even on the days you don’t feel like going, just go and do something light. On the days you don’t feel like eating healthy, find a compromise between the super healthy food you “know you should” eat and the food that’s actually gonna make you feel awful the next day. Hope you’re doing well and good luck girly! You 100% got this, just do you, focus on you, love you, nurture you, take care of YOU 🤎
