Firstly, I want to extend my deepest condolences on the loss of your parent . Grief is indeed a heavy burden, and it's commendable that you're navigating through it with resilience. I can truly relate to the complexities of navigating life after a significant loss. I lost my father in March of 2019, and the journey of grief has been a challenging and transformative one for me as well. I appreciate your honesty about the difficulties you've faced, from the physical toll on your body to the emotional struggles. It takes strength to acknowledge and confront these challenges, and I commend you for your resilience. Your discussion on being a healed person and the importance of emotional well-being deeply resonates with me. It's a topic that requires courage and self-reflection, especially when dealing with the aftermath of loss. I understand the struggle of trying to keep busy and move forward while your body still holds onto the pain. Your insights about self-perception, being an underachiever, and the tendency to overestimate oneself are thought-provoking. It's a journey to truly understand and heal from within, and your willingness to share this process is commendable.. another great Vlog.
Thank you so much and my condolences to you as well. You know like I do that the world looks a bit different to a fatherless girl--I don't know about you but I didn't feel like a resilient woman at the time, I was a "girl" who wanted her daddy back. It's clear to me that you faced those challenges and transformed nicely. Honestly, I accepted the fact that I had to work on myself when I realized that no matter how busy I was or how fast I ran I always ended up wherever I went. I think I'm still continuing to journey through as I share. Hearing feedback definitely helps so thank you!!!
Girl! You mentioned a lot of great points about healing. Childhood trauma can affect a person adult life without healing. Which happened to me that caused issues in my relationship in the past. Sorry for your loss. I appreciate your transparency l. Holding on trauma is real
Yeah, so many people just say, "Let bygones be bygones" but they're not gone for long unless we deal with them. Thank you for your compassion and I appreciate your time.
I can totally relate to this. I lost my father 10 years ago to pancreatic cancer and I literally cannot tell you in detail what I did after that first year. I mean I have glimpses of that time but that’s it. The pain never goes away but it does get easier. And everyone has different ways of coping with loss. Me, I tend to suppress my emotions and feelings because I was always told “Don’t cry over spilled milk. Just clean it up and move on”. But I have come to realize it’s ok to express your emotions. Whether it be to a friend, in a journal, social media groups, etc. Some even use physical activities to release their emotions.But definitely speak to a therapist if you need to for your mental health.
You're so right about the grief easing over time still I'm sorry for your loss. Cancer is a greedy, ugly beast. It's taken more family members than I care to mention. I've heard that milk message too. 😒 I'm glad you were wise enough to move past that to outlets that really work. I'm really glad to see that now, there's not as much stigma attached to reaching out to resources for help. Thank you so much for opening up and sharing.
Sometimes we think we have heal from some trauma but our body tell us otherwise my dad passed when I was very young but I was in denial and years later I learned that wasn’t heal , thanks for sharing this with us
I agree often therapy is viewed for "crazy" ppl. I think of therapy like a car - just like you get a tune up for a car you get a tune up for your head in therapy haha
First, let me say that I'm so very sorry for your unimaginable loss. You're so right about grief never ending, only becoming manageable (and barely that at times). When I tell you the resilience you display on your videos would never clue me in, I mean that! You getting in front of that camera and showing the world how you (and your family) continue to live and love on each other is a testimony. I truly respect that.
