Hi, Franco. I'm Sergio, the guy who got an ACL rupture who watches your streams. I don't know if you remember me. I lost my dad in October 12th of 2020. He got hit by a car while working. It was a sudden death. I feel you. Maybe not the same scenario. But I feel you, I couldn't say I love you like you did. I said "I love you" while he was laying on the ground and I didn't know if he was still alive, I don't think so, but I like to think he was. I'm here for you. One of your viewers. I'm not just a digit on RU-vid, I'm a human being, I'm here. Take care.
Also... He saved the life of a young man who was in the accident too. He pushed him out of the car's way. My dad was the only life lost in this accident. I miss him. I miss him so much. Thank you for reading and sharing.
My father died of cancer and that was painful enough, but in that case we knew it was going to happen, but to have it happen suddenly one day must have been really hard on you
I can't even imagine the pain you are going through... I have had suicidal thoughts many time before, and this hit home for me. If there is anything I can do to help, I would love to. I am once more so sorry for your loss and I hope you find your way again.
I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story and opening so so many eyes. Rest in peace to a great man, and I wish you and your family a lot of strength
Hey it’s Max. Brother, I’m incredibly sorry for your loss. Words can’t really express it..what I will say is that this is the bravest, most honest, heartfelt video I’ve ever seen. I’m here.
what kind of cruel people would dislike a video about a man's heartfelt speech about his father? the things that some of the people in the world do absolutely disgust me sometimes.
They just didn’t like it i guess that’s what the like and dislike button are there for some people just don’t see the good that a video like this actually shows
The dislike count rarely has much to do with what people like. Some people just enjoy being 'mean.' They feel powerful because they clicked a thumb on the internet. But the truth is that these people are usually suffering and unhappy, too.
As someone who has attempted suicide I can say no one knew anything when I attempted to take my own life and I'm glad I also failed because it does get better it's always there as mental health is a serious illness and I still have bad days now but I cope better with it ! i am so sorry for the loss and pain you are feeling right now 😥 RIP to your Dad 💙
Hey, something else - for the viewers, not Fracno. If you can't donate, there is another option: share the video on social media. If only half of his 27,000 subscribers share it, and even 2% of those shares resulted in a $10 donation, he'd hit his goal. Saying something is good. Doing something is better.
Damn well I hope you can recover losing someone is terrible I recently lost some but you can definitely make it through all though I feel sorry deeply and I know losing someone can hurt it probably hurts more losing someone to suicide
My mother suddenly committed suicide in 07. Completely out of the blue (she had bipolar & schizophrenia). Also no signs of suicide. There are no words, "I'm sorry" doesn't convey my empathy towards your situation-as you mentioned in the video, it just empty. These are some good practices that others will hopefully emulate.
Im sorry for your loss I know how hard it is. Im only 18 and I lose my dad a year ago. He never made it to my 18th birthday or my graduation. I think about him everyday
Thank you for making this and being open and sharing your life with us. I love you so much man and I am sincerely so sorry for you and your families loss. I am always here for you if you need anything.
Heya, so I lost my mother when I was 12. I went to therapy for a better part of my teen-hood. It really changed my perspective on life and introduced a lot of insecurities that I still can't really shake 15 years later. I've found peace in writing my intrusive thoughts and asking my family members for memories like you've mentioned. Nothing is out of the ordinary when coping. If it makes you feel better than do so and hold on to it.
This video genuinely hurt to watch in the best way possible. Thank you for telling this story. Your story will be in the back of all of our minds. Respect.
So sorry, man. I lost my brother, my only sibling, to suicide, and I went through all the communication issues you are now facing. The “he’s in a better place now” ones were especially unwelcome, seeing as I’m not religious nor have I ever eluded to believing in an afterlife. But like you said, no words can really help, you just have to be around people you love and give yourself time to process the pain, find an outlet for it, and sob your eyes out. After my brother died, I would drive my car out somewhere and literally scream. You’ll never be the same, and that’s OKAY. It means that that person had a profound effect on your life. It means that they meant something to you, and they will be remembered - which is what so many of us ultimately want. I still tear up when I think about my brother for more than a brief moment, even 8 years later. I wouldn’t want that to change. But with each day it does get easier. Promise.
I know how you feel man. My dad committed suicide 2 years ago. It was very sudden and unexpected. I was also extremely close to him. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about it
Missed the stream, but very appreciative that you shared your story. He seems like such a great man from the way you speak about him. I'm sending you good energy as you continue to navigate through it.
I know what it's like, I send I my deepest condolences. Lost my dad to suicide some 14 years again, when I was 12, and to this day, it still affects me. That never ending thought of "what if" lingers. I know the pain will never go away, in time it will hurt less. If you ever need some to talk to about this, don't hesitate to ask me. I'll try to help as best I can.
You are an incredibly strong person for being able to present this to us so efficiently, and I’m terribly sorry for your loss, it breaks my heart to see you like this. Keep your head up, king. 💙
That's just awful, I'm so sorry about your dad. May his memory be eternal . My father in-law was such a good friend to me, he was amazing, and showed me how to be a good dad, in 2019 he developed a blood clot and collapsed at home. I tried giving him CPR and it just didn't work. My wife and I both tried CPR but it just wasn't meant to be. Just remember that it's not your fault, he was suffering in ways that we just cannot know. I'm so sorry again.
Sending you so much love man. I'm so sorry for your loss. I struggle with some really serious mental health issues after my time in the service. Thanks for sharing your dad's story with us. We all need to be OK talking about these issues. There's no magic fix of course, but people who don't suffer from serious mental health issues or know anyone that does in their immediate circle just don't understand. Thanks for spreading awareness with what I know is an amazingly difficult and painful experience.
I’m so sorry for your loss; I lost my dad in 2019 (he died from the flu) and it was one of the worst things for me. He had depression and sometimes I wonder if he had given up, but I’ll never know. My husband struggles with depression and actually I noticed signs once when he had a plan. He’s told me just me being there helps and listening to him, as well as just trying to help distract during a time when he’s really low. Talking to people and being a friend are really important. Depression is awful and I wish mental health was taken more seriously and prioritized. Thinking of you.
Sooo sorry for your loss man. I cant even imagine what youre going through. I hopped in the stream today and wasnt sure what was going on but now i understand. Man. May your dad RIP. Sending much love Franco!
Sorry for your loss bro, Apr 23 one of my Marines LCpl Joey Manrique did the same thing. Shit sucks brother but you’re not alone, same thing with my Marine he had stuff going on but when talked to about it he had seemed as he always did. He didn’t show any signs either that any of us could find. Sometimes their decision to do this is weeks, even months in advanced. Try not to put any blame on yourself about it Franco
I dount really know how to do this the best way, and i dont know what you are going tro. But some thing simeler happend me just about a mounth back my gf or now my ex. Tried (that part is werry importent) to kill her sellf way? I wish i knew. So when the news came that my gf had Tried to kill her self. My heart droped and I didn't know att the time that she was still alive, so I too tried to kill myself, but then i simpely thot that hey! If I want to die beacus of my gf the someone might whant to whant to die beacus of what i'm doing. Basicly what I what to say is that there are People out there that love you, you have a community that loves your vidios, hell i am from Sweden! And agin, i dont know how you fell but pleas do keep this in minde if you "drift away". Lots of love to you from sweden❤
Fuck man, I know I’m new here but you will get through this. You will make it bro, it gets better after a bit. I promise man, we are all here for you. Stay strong
I’m sorry for your loss brother I lost my grandpa early this year and it was tough man but thank you for your service and your dad will be in my prayers and many others love you Franco🙏🏼🕊
It hurts for me to know about the news. I am sorry for your loss. I too lost my dad due to a heart attack when I was 16 and I wish I could tell you how I wish our dads could live longer but what has happened, happened. I wish for you to really not touch any things that could mess up your conscience or mental health because we really need to be strong right now for the upcoming phase. I am sorry if I could not be any softer with my words but truth is we need to move on even though the memory hurts so much right now. What is grief, if not love persevering ? By the way, you have gained quite some weight ; keep your stress level or depression level in check, my dude. I know you can get through this !
I have not lost either of my parent's, but I have lost all of my grandparents whom I was close to; I can understand how empty you feel and loss of direction you feel. There are no perfect words during a loss to make magically feel better. But we want to support you and be someone to just listen to you letting out the hurt. I hope the count of full views shows that we care for you, your well-being, your mental health through this and later on. Stay strong, and continue to dump those feelings on those you can trust.
Well said. For someone wanting to say something to comfort the survivors, if you knew the deceased, you can share a story/memory you have of the person who passed. I found it comforting to hear stories from people who knew them and it may be your only chance to hear them.
as someone who has had mental health problems most of my life(bi-polar, generalized anxiety disorder) ive tried to kill myself once(hang myself but the rope broke and i snapped out of it) and a second time where i told a friend good bye the poilce got called and i ended up in a mental health facility which i was 12 the first time and 15 the second time and now im about to be 34. i try to be vocal about my problems to people so that they know if anyone else is having a problem they can talk to me no matter my state of mind. last year was the worst year of my life and the only reason i made it through it was due to me finally getting on meds because i was finally able to find a doctor who would finally listen. if i didnt get on the meds i probably wouldnt be here right now. the moral to my story is its ok to tell people your problems, its ok to go see doctor after doctor to find the right doctor for your to get on the meds you need because that not every doctor is the right one for you. seek help any way possible for any situation where things are not right in your head. this last year was the prefect example of why u cant wait to get help because anything in this world can happen and its too late
I was 19 when my dad died and at that time it was the first lost I’d ever had and for awhile I was very angry, at the world at him for us having unfinished business at god for taking him from me but the years went on and I realized that my dad was in my whole childhood and I’m blessed for that and I’m the man I am today because of him and he made me a man and since then I have lost a son among other family members and I can tell u now that it doesn’t get easier but u start to think more abt the happy memories instead of the bad ones and u realize that they will always have a special place in ur heart and I dk if this helps u at all but if it does then I’ve done my job for the day because all the lost I’ve had in my life made me promise myself that I would b a better man tomorrow then I was today so I hope u can take something from this and if u need to talk reach out bud
Even though I only knew you for a short time during AIT, this really hit me hard. I'm sorry for your loss and wish nothing but the best for you and your family through this tough time.
I am sorry for your loss. I lost my mother suddenly in her sleep. She was an undiagnosed diabetic and we never knew, she had a diabetic ketoacidtosis in her sleep. I feel everything you feel my friend, we're here for you and I appreciate everything you've done. I'll never stop thinking of her and missing her. You're not alone.
I'm so sorry for your loss man. There's no words that can express how sorry I am. Some people just don't want help when your mind gets that dark. I've been there. If it wasn't for my wife finding me and giving me CPR I wouldn't be here. Again, I'm really sorry brother. 🥺
