Biche Jabrayilova is the last inhabitant of abandoned aul Gra in Dagestan She lives here ALONE for more than 50 years! She never been married and has no kids She spends years in breathtaking loneliness among mountains
what type of world leader and society grants this? alaska had native american women kidnapped and disappearing during covid. America women in a country just about the money and homo men
I found this so moving. What an amazing woman Biche was to have survived alone,in all weathers,with so little for so long. But I found myself wishing that she had been able to pass away in the place she loved the most,close to nature, listening to the birds. I hope she had a peaceful death? I love that her most prized possession was a book.
Nobody needs to feel sorry for this amazing woman. she lived her life, her way. Who is to say that this isn't the way we should all be living. RIP Biche.
My Grandmother lived outside of a small remote town in Alaska by herself for almost 20 years. I had seen her only a few times in my life. She was only 5' tall and fished and hunted by herself. She cut and split her own firewood as well. Climbing the mountain to hunt was admiral alone. She was 65 years old when she left Seattle Washington to go to Alaska shortly after my Grandfather passed. She took care of herself. Never accepted a handout from anyone. Of course she didn't live as harshly as this woman. She had a comfortable, but small little cabin. But, she really roughed it out . Her Family as well took her back to Seattle when she was near 85 yrs old . She was losing her vision and was not healthy. She was put into a nursing home and passed away 1 week later. Sometimes I wished they would have left her where she lived in solitude. I know that she would have rather passed in her home. I've always Loved and admired her. Strongest woman I've ever known ❣️❣️ *** Thank all of you here for your heartfelt words. I'm very touched knowing that there are so many with kind ❣️❣️❣️❣️s. ***
100% I've lived alone travelling in my van in the wilderness for six years , yes I find work to feed and for fuel, but can go weeks with just my own company and my dogs , its a life I chose and its a life I love , the world is home and being in the middle of nature means that for me its never lonely, people can be surrounded by family and friends but still feel lonely, you've just got to do what you need to do to find that happiness 😊
She's not alone. When someone is with God, fire, water, and a beautiful view, is all the company you need. When the inside is pure, the outside doesn't require much.
Dear lady Biche - may your spirit rest well in the beauty of these mountains that you loved so much. You're in the beauty of nature, the winds that blow and in the dark nights of these mountains. You possess the indomitable spirit of the mountains. Peace.
A tight slap to all those mediocre people who have misguided millions in believing that life isn't worth living in solitude. Hats off to this amazing lady, who defied all laws of society and lived a great life alone on her own terms. She is the greatest example of living life with a meaning and without any regret. Rest In Peace this amazing soul!! 🙏
Depends on where you live alone and if it is your choice, or not. Not everyone embraces solitude. The environment where you live is also very important.
I'm split about this...because if I'm not around ppl how can I be of help to them? You can't help anyone with their life burdens. But an occasional escape into solitude, basic life is mandatory!!!
If she was happy with her life, then good for her. But solitude is not healthy for most people, human is a social animal, if I didn’t have any people in my life I wouldn’t care to live it. For me, nothing in life has any value if I can’t share it with others.
Biche touched my heart. This is a definition of a strong independent woman. She has shown us that you do not need others to live your life to the fullest. Beautiful woman and the view from her window was magnificent ❤rest in power beautiful lady
A happy and beautiful hard life surrounded by nature, Biche was free and had all of her to herself. Living alone in nature can be hard at times , but it is also very rewarding, filled with peaceful and happy moments. After my wife left me 12 years ago I built a small strawbale cabin in the mountains, the closest town is 2 hours away. I love to cut firewood and walk in the woods, I have a cat and he walks with me, I see bears and coyotes, read books and spend most time alone. I buy everything I need at thrift stores, and go to the grocery store once a month. I don’t like to drive, in the summer I grow a garden, I also have a DVD player and buy movies for 50 cents at the thrift stores. I don’t feel lonely and enjoy spending time just sitting in my porch or watching the stars at night. I’m 62 years old.
@Karl with a K I'm one of them - a "people by themselves" a/k/a solo camper. I found that all I really need (besides food, air, and water) is a comfortable night's sleep and a comfortable clean potty. I keep my gear in my Suburu in case I feel like spending a night at some remote campground. The State of Arkansas is rich with such places. Hope it stays that way.
You have RU-vid too; so that in in it's self is eternally entertaining. I love the good, informative & educational stuff on RU-vid...I also live alone but, I am rural, but not remote. All the best wishes to you.
She was surrounded by beauty. Living alone doesn't necessarily mean she was lonely...Comfort doesn't necessarily bring happiness. To achieve comfort, many of us choose to spend time in an office wishing we were somewhere else- I expect all her life she would have been totally in the present fully experiencing life.
Please keep them coming. As an American, who use to live in Georgia, where I met many older people living in the mountains, I was always impressed with their abilities.
This made me cry, but also gave me encouragement, bcz I live alone, am not married, nor ever had children. Just shows what women are capable of. I understand her being able to do it, because I also enjoy it. Less stress.
I can relate! I live alone and I hated it at first. Now I'm getting used to it - and enjoy it sometimes. This story makes me appreciate what I have more than I did before seeing it.
She was a calm, kind woman, but none of us can really be aware of the great pain she must’ve felt from her fiancé leaving her that caused her to shut the whole world out and live all by herself. RIP Biche 💗
I’d say she found the love she needed. Greater than any romantic love. She was at one with nature. They should have left her there to end her days in the mountains. God rest her
Though the place she lived was in ruins, she could still see the beauty in it, is the reason she didn't leave. Lady Biche, you Were the true beauty of the land you called your home. Rest in Peace .
Wow, what a hard-working woman she was. To think that she lived here all by herself, is just something that makes you ponder. No spouse, no children, and no pet, she was living all alone, yet she was satisfied. Her content and hardwork are very much appreciated and something that we should strive for. She also had a breathtaking view from her home. May she Rest In Peace. Thank your for sharing this video with us❤️
I’m sure she had her tough times where she felt lonely, maybe even depressed, but she was most likely way too proud to tell anybody, especially strangers who visit with a camera. For all we know, she may even have had struggles with social anxiety, contributing to her withdrawing from village life, choosing to live there all alone. My heart bleeds for her, it couldn’t have been an easy life. May she rest in peace❣️
The town is empty,alone and stark, But wait,yes there is a spark, A slender,frail and lonely heart, That wills to live,tho' all else is shorn apart. The wind and rain come with snow and ice, And in the summer,the sun is warm and nice, High mountains keep their loyal company, And lonely stars at night,twinkle their silent symphony, No voices speak,no other human sound, In all that space,can be heard or found. A solitary choice,a vow made long,long ago, Her struggle each day to shuttle to and fro, She lives her life frail and bleak And bears her lot,alone with sorrows deep.
Поэтому бабушка такая здоровая.. Жизнь, конечно, тяжёлая, но на природе, в красоте, вдали от различных видов загрязнения. Не то, что сейчас - живём в многоэтажных цементных коробках, окруженные повсюду проводами, железом, пластиком, едим химию, вокруг бытовая химия, в руках телефоны или игровые приставки, в ушах наушники... По телевизору сплошная реклама "купи, купи!".. Поэтому все больные и нервные.
How do you know? Living alone in a mountain doesn’t guarantee you will wake up to reality and you definitely don’t need to live alone in a mountain to wake up to reality
@@autumn5852 when a person spends that much time alone without human contact without technology it is impossible to avoid the cosmic giggle. Fetching your own water and food and spending a lifetime in solitude is the closest any of us will get to reality. How do I know, that simple I have spent long periods alone in the woods not nearly as long as this beautiful old woman. I don't know you but I doubt you ever spent more than a few days alone in the wilderness maybe you should go try it.
That is absolutely a beautiful life! People always compare "being alone" as lonely or unhappy. It takes bravery and contentment in life to be able to live like that. Great job Granny! 🥰
Exactly - solitude is perfect - absolutely not lonely and, this wonderful woman enjoyed exactly that - solitude 😊 She was 100% admirable and, I truly hope she is now enjoying her next life...may she rest in peace 💕💓💕
She is, that is the name of the age that she is now in, I wish to be granny too some day. But all so to have grandchild. It is not a bad thing to be old or a granny. I love my grannys!!!!
Im quite sure if she can get a company to speak to some1 she wud prefer that. Its easy to say but im sure not easy living alone with no company..god bless her.
A true individual, one who doesn't need constant validation like most humans do. Very very few people have learned enough in life and have the wisdom to truly know how to be content in their own company. I admire her.
We're all true individuals, those who seek and those who don't seek validation. Wisdom comes in many forms, through solitude and interactions with others. Stop vilifying validation, as it's a natural trait of human nature. It's an adaptative trait because most of us need each other in order to thrive, and that's how we have progressed through centuries. Sociability has its good and its bad. Solitude has its good and its bad too.
@MaYeRs94K This woman had the option to live in a town if she wanted, but chose not to. Just because you don't happen to like the idea of living five decades alone doesn't mean everyone else has to agree with you.
Yeah, well, sorry, all you introverts… we are ALL born into the crucible of relationship. We are tribal. It is not natural for ANY human to exist alone. Period.
Thank you for sharing this video. It’s amazing how humans draw their inner strengths to survive, whose knows what she had to go through before deciding to live alone. May she rest in peace amazing SOUL.
I am 52 years old and although I have my son and glad for him. I feel so alone and I use to enjoy being alone at least I thought I did. Help me pray for a loving companion. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This lovely old lady Biche had nothing, but had everything she needed. Alone in nature, high above on a mountain top. Lovely to watch and the kind of woman or person I admire very much. Choosing her lifestyle the way she did. I expect the nature around her misses her, but she will always be at one with it. The stillness, the peace and Biche...Rest in peace and God bless 🙌 🙏 xxx
Of course not! Adrienne did not know her… It is a state of mind Il you don’t understand it by yourself.., you never will… It is not by knowing someone that you catch it It is by feeling somebody’s experience with your imagination, the most powerful thing inside of you… It is not something you can tell It is something you express Loneliness and contemplation are often together Experience of life helps to understand
@@aj32384 you misunderstood my answer. I’m not talking about Biche. I’m answering about Adrienne knowing her or not… What you say about Biche makes sense to me. Thank you
A most thought provoking video. Biche is a true warrior. Deep respect and complete admiration for an amazing human being. May she rest in peace and her soul live forevermore on those beautiful mountains.
she was damn lucky to have escaped being a reproduction factory and bearing and rearing 20kids. that's all is their place of things in her religion anyway.
This made me cry. I know she wanted to live her life her way but I wish she had a little help like someone to take her to town, fix up her house a bit etc. Rest In Peace.
She's an inspiration for this troubled world. Living a simple, quiet, peaceful life. I wish I can go back to mine. Growing up in the countryside myself, overlooking the green mountains, fresh air and the sound of that fresh water from the brook. Uplifting and Refreshing to the spirit. Brings me back home...San Rafael, Iloilo, Philippines.
My thoughts exactly, my Italian grandmother lived this way...and I used to think "how could she not want companionship". Interestingly enough, my wife understood me, she somehow knew how to read my eyes and my body language. After my wife passed away several years ago, I gave up the big house, the fancy cars, and clothes...and I now understand why my grandmother chose her solitary life. I think people like to hear themselves talk...empty thoughts, they communicate and say nothing, they care about things that mean nothing, and for the most part, lead meaningless lives...when they volunteer or do something "good" it helps them feel like their meaningless lives have a higher purpose. I have lived alone for 20 years now. I don't watch T.V., although, I do have one, rarely go online or comment (usually I just shake my head at how trivial people are) and I probably use my phone about three times a month. I don't want to be with anyone else and soon I plan to move to the rural mountains of the South (here in the U.S.)...I don't plan to live "off-grid" but, very far away from civilization and very close to nature. I don't want to hear the chatter of people, the sounds of the city, cars, sirens, etc., just silence, the wind, and the birds. When I asked my wife what she thought her purpose in life was, she replied "to be your wife". We had two children but, both boys passed away, one at 27 of Leukemia, and the other, a police officer, had his life cut short...two weeks before his 35th birthday, my wife passed away unexpectedly shortly after. Yeah, I'm totally alone now but, I've lived my life and this is the way I choose to live out the rest of my years. There's nothing to feel sorry for, we're all born and we all have our trials and tribulations, and either we become resilient...or we don't. I don't think as humans we ever get to fully understand the meaning of it all. Beautiful indeed! Biche became strong and resilient. God Bless her, and may she forever rest in peace.
@@Asher1964 Reality is, if she were a man, he'd be adventurous or stubborn, or doing his own thing. A woman, she's alone and a loner. Hahaha. In my mind, she's a bad ass! Living off the land, gender aside, is the boldest thing one can do. It's hard but life giving.
@@nadatodo Perhaps she chose this life out of need and compulsion.. Whether a man or a woman, loneliness is painful, especially for the elderly. I am upset with the cruelty of people who see her alone and do not visit her... I hope she is fine
A lesson to all of us today. Getting depressed and stressed and God knows what. Shows of you want to survive nothing can come in your way. This lady was proof of that. May she rest in peace ❤
Very beautiful video. This woman hit me in the heart, I believe that her greatest teaching was to live in simplicity and perhaps this was her happiness. Great admiration for her, her strength should be an example for us. I am very sorry for her disappearance. Thank you very much for this awesome video.
This looks like a beautiful life to me. She's had to be extremely tough to survive on her own but, she chose that life, and she has stayed in it for 50 years. That's a choice. This reminds me of a documentary I watched about a very old woman in Russia. She lived by a lake that was frozen most of the year, and she also lived a solitary life. She had moved there with her husband, when they were young. After he died, she didn't have any desire to go anywhere else. Living alone, in the beauty of nature, is a blessing for many people. They aren't broken by solitude, it's just their life. 💜💜💜
When a person want live as he or she wants they can because they are brave and mind set and strong willpower and passionate .am from the rural area by the mountain of kashmir pakistan and valley it's so beautifull at present am in UK living in city too busy no peace
Beautiful story of this Amazing woman, God was always with her and she was not alone till her passing away. Only the Grand Creator knows her too well❤️🙏.
This amazing place shouldnt be abandoned. What a blessed life to be able to live alone here, peaceful, fresh air, water and vegetables or teas. If i have an opportunity to live here, I will bring my books! May you rest in peace wonderful and blessed woman
I admire her strength, bravery and hard work. To live in such primitive conditions, yet she was able to take care of herself and live her life. The views from her window were really quite amazing. Rest in peace dear lady.🌷
Here in the USA you can't live anywhere without paying taxes. I wish I could find a place like that to go and finish out my life. The IRS will hunt you down here in the USA and they don't care if you are 100 yrs old. If you want to live anywhere especially own your own land you must pay taxes on it and that costs money that a lot of us just don't have. I admire this woman and how she lives her life.
This is a little lady that I would be visiting everyday and spending time with her and helping her and loving her as a daughter and help take care of her and be her best friend
She lived a beautiful life . Surrounded by what made her most happy. The majestic mountains,pure flowing springs,chirping birds and most amazing views. Your spirit shall forever grace this beautiful place you called home. Fare thee well mountain girl-Lady Biche . You lived life beautifully.You lived it your way ❤❤
she has her families memories there. Memories of her father, child hoood. Who would want to leave that❤️ something your own father created for you. Thank you for bringing light to her life. Made me think so much of family that’s gone from Mexico. My 90 year old great grandmother would still get her water and shower at a near spring as well. Wow 🥺 she looked just like her. May the both Rest In Peace
What a nice real life story !!! When someone live like this all life they deserve to end up the same place where they live all live!!!God bless her 🙏🏼 R.I.P. Babuska
Memories are like beautiful clouds floating peacefully and effortlessly with the winds. Sometimes they bring sadness, sometimes they bring comfort, sometimes they bring happiness. They are and will always be with us.
Her brave heart could not stand to be far away from her home, her mountains, and it stopped/ REST in PEACE, BICHE, what a brave, extraordinary lady you were! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@mandujanojuan437 Don't be so quick to judge. We dont know the full story. Perhaps she was unable to walk anymore and couldn't feed herself, get water or keep herself warm any longer. Should her relatives leave her to starve, die of dehydration or cold? She may not have wanted to leave but may not have had any other options and it's not fair to expect someone else to sacrifice their life, and probably their own family as well, to move in with her and manage in those harsh conditions. It's a no win situation. Your observation about people dying in a nursing home in a couple of years is not actually correct. Research shows elderly people survive longer in a nursing home than they do at home. At home one person ends up bearing the brunt of 24 hour 7 days a week care, and it's generally a woman that is sacrificed. In this day and age, by the time an elderly person can't care for themselves any longer, their children are elderly themselves and are not able to do the heavy lifting required. This puts both them and the person they are caring for at risk of serious injury. Once an older person is injured, the chances are, they'll never fully recover.
@@mandujanojuan437 To put PPL in Elderly homes is a big crime against humanity. Anyway the PPL who doing this to their realitives, will pay the bill, soon or later, caused their Children see what they doing to their beloved Grandparents.l They will the doing the same with their Parents just worse. This is called the Resonance Rule of the Universe. Everything what you doing to others, the good and bad things, will you getting back, soon or later. Anyway the most of the PPL are too stupid to realize this.
@@warpedweft9004 This doesnt matter, caused this old Lady was seperated from her roots, this was the reason she died soon after this was happend. This is a fact.
Blessed Biche, your spirit and determination to be free should be an inspiration to us all! Rest in peace beautiful daughter of the mountain. May you find true love in the afterlife.
Living alone is not lonely..... It the best thing we do for ourselves when we don't have any careing people around us. Instead of living with heartless people and living with depression this is best thing we can do.
Breaks my heart that she had to leave her home. She would have lived longer even in those primitive conditions. She seemed quite content with her situation. She was alone but not lonely. I have noticed that women who never marry with no children live longer than most with nearly no anxiety or depression.
@@patrushevs_stories Yes, but she could still have tough times, feeling lonely and sad, maybe even depressed - but being way too proud to complain or even share with you. She may even have struggled some with social anxiety, contributing to her choosing to live alone like that. Reasons like that are much more common than most people think - a good reason to visit people you know who live all alone…
@@lottatroublemaker6130 the perception of Biche could be diferent of what you are stating, being alone in the modern world is bad but that is a cultural perception, each culture and person has a diferent perception.
@@amirkiev8205 not a cultural thing really. We are humans, therefore social beings. Living alone for half a century is not appropriate for our mental health.
I live alone but I'm not lonely. My dad always said jokingly he would if given the chance to live in a lighthouse he would and I've got his mentality. It runs in family. I guess though there comes a time when if u need help you either succumb to finding it or die. I wd love to live there but realistically I wouldnt last five minutes being a soft Westerner.
I agree. Somebody should put the story together as soon as possible. Then it should be made into a movie. A lot of values can be taught by her life story.
@@chandachilongoshi8813 so long as they use me to play her part but I have to be able to bring my cat and then everyone can go home and just leave us there please.
this made me cry like crazy she looked so much like my grandmother, i wanted to help her, wish someone to help her. when that several years came up my heart dropped like omg.
Rest in peace dear Biche Jabrayilova, maybe you were a stubborn soul, but you lived off the land quite literally in the most humble way and made a deep impact on me and many who stumbled upon your story. This little clip does not even touch the essence of it, but it is enough to understand for me at least.
Dying after only a few months after being taken to the town - why could no one who loved her, a relative, not have just stayed their with her until her end instead of dragging her away into the town, this is so sad. As the camera went around her place, after she had died, you could still feel her there. I am sure her spirit lives on in that place as it was all she knew.
I was so hoping they would find her living when they revisited. Rest in Peace, her soul. The view outside her window was so amazing and beautiful... like a place in another world.
She's in the grave until the resurrection, according to the Scriptures. The Bible says that there will be a resurrection and the sea will give up its dead and that death will cease and the meek ones will inherit the earth and live on it forever.
This great lady is an inspiration to all those who have been rendered alone or neglected by the circumstances. They should get up and live so long as life is there like this elderly woman.
You said at some point there were other people in that village until 10-15 years ago. So she was not completely alone for 50 years.... Am wondering how long it took her to walk 80kms to go fetch provisions and walk back. Astonishing. I hope she had help. And how did she pay for things? She had no income it seems. I hope she was happy. Rest in peace Biche. 💕
What an amazing woman. Her choice to live alone is respected. I sort of feel sad and happy that she lived her life her way except towards the end when moved away. May God bless her soul.
When they took her away from her environment, it broke her heart ❤️. It’s not good to remove someone from what they are familiar with. May she RIP. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🍀☘️🌺💐🌹🥀🌾
Going to town 80km away is not joke that age.... She is v strong lady living alone... Really pity for her.. Without electricity.. Tap water.. Food... Lonely life after aging is v difficult without nobody to take care... RIP grandma... Lots of love from INDIA...
I just don't understand people who equates being alone to loneliness. It's different. Just because you feel easily miserable being alone doesn't mean every human being feels the same way. You don't have to ache your heart or pity someone whatsoever. I'm an introvert who knows how to socialize but being alone in a beautiful place feels peaceful and comforting, I know because I lived alone for quite awhile too

I echo your sentiments as I live a life of solitude through choice. I am alone but not lonely. In fact, I can feel dreadfully alone in a room full of people and I'd say that you know exactly how that feels.........not very sweet. Becoming a widow 12 years ago, aged 50, left me on my own. I then sold up and moved from a wee village to an island in the Outer Hebrides (off Scotland's west coast). And not just any old island, a truly remote island where I can go for a couple of months+ without seeing or speaking to an other living soul. I've no tv or mobile telephone - through choice. Solitude for me brings me joy and I'm good with that and hate when my lifestyle appears to jar with others and they are so quick to assume that I'm a depressed, miserable, lonely person. I'm the happiest girl going! Well my darling, may all your dreams come true wherever you are in the world and may you only have to endure others on your terms. Stay strong and God bless your heart.
I couldn’t help but cry when you went back and said she had passed. Her loneliness just felt like something to relate to. Her strength in loneliness too. Well now she’s really with nature 💚
Why do you assume she was lonely? Just because she lived alone doesn't mean she was lonely. I live alone and am not lonely. Don't project your own feelings on others!
@@SR-iy4gg my inference on her situation is NOT an assumption. Read the title, watch the video from beginning to end, and try again. Also, being empathic with all the information I had is not projection. Lastly, even if I were projecting, what I do is not up to you ;)
Her father created that house for her. In memory of him she chose to live there all alone when all her neighbors had long gone. She was free and contented living a simple life. This is a very beautiful video. Very few people know this kind of life.
Fascinating! She chose to live like a hermit..& did. Many have, whom we never get to know. Life can be tough especially with advancing age..even amidst nature in all it's splendour! Brave lady.
I have an elderly neighbour very similar to this woman. Aged nearly 90, she lives alone, never married or had children. She has no mobile phone, car or flat screen TV. But she's as happy as pie, and without the phobias, neuroses or hang ups that so many people in today's world are suffering from. This neighbour is not materialistic, but lives a simple life close to nature, grows some of her own food, tends to her plants, flowers and fruit trees, and generally always keeps busy. Religion is a big part of her life. As her neighbour, I find she is truly inspiring, and a lesson that a life lived differently can be far better than how the media dictates you have to live it.
This is far different from your neighbor...This woman is totally alone in a cement small shack, no running water, rock ledges...very depressing...I feel bad...
I know she was happy living all alone by herself. It is sad to know that she passed away. Brave and independent woman. May she rest in peace. Thanks for this video.
@@michaellawson6533 She loved her life in a place she loved. To living with a Partner in our times is often more trouble as love, soon later. You understud nothing.
We should all have the freedom to live our lives on our own terms. Instead we are serfs to a system of greed. Well done Biche. What an amazing life you lived.
There was something so basic and peaceful and extraordinary about this woman and her life. It touched me in a way that I never imagined. Somewhere deep in my soul. Thank you for sharing her with us. Having a life where your spiritual and emotional and mental needs are met by so little and yet so much…….it just really made me think about my own life. I’ve never been a “material” person, but I have things that I love. Seeing this video made me long for much less clutter in my world. Thank you for this.
Señora Biche, usted es ahora el viento que corre como niña por esos caminos en las montañas, usted es parte de ese paisaje bello por la eternidad. Que Dios la tenga en su santa gloria. Amen!
