OMG. Drink water. Breathe. BFD😳

Well done, Anne! Thanks for this interview!

Thank all for those words of encouragement. God Bless 🙌

Lovely, Sue!

I made a water bottle cover using my daughters t shirts ,used the hole in the neck of the t shirt to put over the neck of the water bottle x❤

11 months since my mum passed away, still in denial 😢

It's Renee from Tickle Paradise!!

Such an honor to be on the show, and to have the opportunity to share my story! Somatic breathwork was the one thing that helped me tap into my grief journey, even after being in grief groups, attending grief conferences, and doing therapy. But it was not one the first session. It was about the 7th session where I was doing a session in-person. I thought of Stacy and as I was lead during the somatic breathwork session, I cried and expressed the grief that was stored in my body. It is also an honor to be able to hold space with people who attend the somatic breathwork group sessions I hold and to be able to listen to what people have to share in being able to better connect with themselves.

I just finished this book and found it extraordinarily helpful; thank you Dr. Van Der Kolk.

What do you do when you're father is high when he is doing his job but he is always high

Jesus, that is beautiful. I never listened before because I felt intrusive. Please keep that up!! So wonderful and brave. One day I will be strong and show you my passions have nothing g to do with you. Z just uncanny overlap.

Thank you for this conversation...3 months ago I found my 13yr old son dead on the floor in the morning, I worked desperately on him till the Ambos arrived, but in my heart I knew he has gone when I found him as he didn't look good. He died from an asthma attack. The trauma from that has scrambled my brain and the guilt of all the what ifs and should ofs, that I could of saved him if I'd tried harder in a million different ways, are the worst part by far 😢💔

I'm so sad for your loss. The story hit me about being the guy the neighbors and kids feared. As a woman I have been turning into that woman....I need to start the gym as soon as my car is fixed...2 years of grief right now...and hiding it.....thank God for therapist. And I am liking your videos, thank you.

It has gotten now where I'm not sure which loss started it. Most of what I recall is.the sorrow and sadness on days like today.

I have many look a likes and it’s not easy. Sometimes I wonder how many women were pregnant of twins and were never told and kept the other baby for experiment?

A question I would have liked to hear is, when your brain is rewiring, does it remove those neurons? Or do they just dull over time? I’m scared of forgetting things.

and then he goes and murders someone smh

Love golf and pickle ball!

Thank you so much for posting this; I am shocked to see that what I did during my months of recovery is exactly what you talk about. I took out all the old photos and unearthed the memories that were in the recesses of my mind. This allowed me to heal,, consolidate and reframe the relationship I had with my brother and find the GOLD, the wonderful experiences we shared.🥰

Thank you❤️

I feel the same way way every morning I’m sick to my stomach and Don’t want to get out of bed😢

Pleas help I have morning sickness i have to vomit every morning. I can't accept that my husband is gone

Having to grieve before people are actually gone is definitely a struggle

Thank you so much for the opportunity to share and serve your special audience.

Muchas gracias por compartir 🙏 ... El duelo es demasiado duro. Gracias por la empatía. Perder un hijo no hay nombre para ese dolor.

I lost my mom to pulmonary fibrosis a month ago

Lost my daughter 02/05/2024 due to family violence 💔

I love this man.

I lost my son october 2022, i was working at the time, and had to go back out to work, my bosses were nice to me financially, but suprising was not emotionally, they were expecting me in a space of two months i should be fine, mostly coming from my female boss. I left them the coming year 2023. My high blood pressure was coming most of the time high, i had to stay away from my job, due to lack of pressure that i have to get over quickly the lost of my son. So thank you for this program, and the love you all put out to everyone that is in this situation.❤

Putting one foot in front of the other and just taking a shower ... those things really resonate with me. I remember my first big grief after my father died. The pain from my Dad dying caused me to tell my best friend about earlier assault traumas I had experienced 34 years earlier (I never told anyone before). Like finally pulling out a giant splinter. Ever since that time, I have to check if my shoes and socks match when I leave the house, and I started to misplace my keys -- as if I had just discovered that I was not invincible or bullet proof. During my therapy journey to feel better, my entire perspective and priorities changed on their own ... what I was thinking and "worrying" about, etc. Other losses have occurred since my Dad's death ... and I still have the same great therapist. ❤

In the last year, I have lost my mom, my step-mom, my dad and my dad's oldest living sister. A bit much in 6 months. I am in the pastoral counseling program at CLI. I was beginning to think my own stages of grief were a bit strange. I never got along with my mom. I grieved more of the loss of my step-mom than I did from my mom.

It's been 14 years since my husband died and I'm not mad at God at all. I do have trouble feeling hopeful at times. Thank you Mike for sharing what you've learned about God and doing the Grief job. I don't understand all the reaons but I understand that God loves me and His ways are not my ways. Blessings.

I’m so very sorry for your loss. You are obviously a very loving & caring parent. You read & reviews a book my mother wrote about spirt guides. But it was more of a revenge book on every person in her family including me. None of what she wrote was remotely correct or fair but because she used erroneous names no re course on the facts could be disputed. It is a book of fiction created in the mind of a narcissist, and your observations were right on point. None and I mean none of what she said about myself was true but I could care less. What upset me was I loved my grandmother dearly and the terrible things she wrote after her passing was sicking. But then she really has never had a bottom to her cruelty if it could make her a buck. That’s the truth behind her so called entrepreneurial ships. I just feel bad that the book exists where people think it’s fact and it’s nothing but horrific and fiction I guess people she wrong terribly in her life and that are not here to defend themselves. Anyhow, thank you again you’re obviously a very good person. I have have a beautiful full grown daughter whom I love with all my heart and a grandmother twice. I cannot imagine what you have been through and I want to express my truest condolences. But you are right she is beyond the vail. And she is watching out for you protecting you with her love till you meet again. All my warmest love & light to you 🩷🌹

Lovely thank you

Thank you it does help❤ God bless you 🙏🏻

🙏... i have grief, i have depression. I am unable to let go/ move on, everyone keeps saying. My loss, is completely devastating ( you know). I also have guilt & regret. I know this loss, .. was my fault. Living is so difficult now for me. Im in prison at home, unable to leave, with absolutely no desire to do, or go anywhere. I have anhedonia, insomnia, anxiety and ..... indescribable pain thats mentally, spiritually and now bodily. How !! Do i live ( not just eat & breath ). I lost my career job, and now have nothing.. no structure, purpose, friends, routine, familiar place to go and be apart of. ... im so devastated.

Thank you.

The Broken Ribs analogy 💔❤️‍🩹. I lost someone 3 months ago.. he was the love of my life and soulmate. He died suddenly, out of nowhere...and is still quite unknown what happened to him. We were going through a relationship mess in the moment of his death. This feels like a reset. It's devastating. I just said to my friend, that i am going to end up as this spooky elderly woman, who does this crazy reaserch on the unexplained death case of her ex fiancé. If I ever get out of the bed.

My twin passed away on the 26Sept23 at the age of 58 and 1 month, all I can say with absolute honesty is that after nearly 4 months I am still severely traumatized and it is definitely affecting my health. Feel as though adrenaline is pumping through my body 24 hours a day. I wonder if I will ever recover?

How can you tell anyone to just “get over it” when someone dies

I am so glad nobody understands. I wouldn't wish loss of my child on anyone. It's the worst thing that can ever happen. I am now bullet proof, living in Israel, by the sea, so I can see Gd's sunset, every night. He is real and with me. With Gd, I am a majority of One!❤

Some information/ feedback from a twin who lost her twin at a very early age: the connection between twins is so deep it's actually the primary 'attachment' - not the mother, (or father) as is usually the case with an infant. As a result, with twinless twins, there's the loss of the twin, the kids of the twinship and the loss of the 'primary attachment'. What complicates the attachment trauma is that that it can't be replicated. It's literally impossible. I don't mean this in a hopeless way, just in a realistic way. What was left of me, after losing my twin, was only about 1/3 of what I'd experienced as 'me' before then. And it was an anchorless, deserted sort of third. It was so overshadowed by the 2/3 of loss it hardly seemed to exist -The loss felt more like nuclear destruction than grief. Long-term, the hardest part wasn't how appalling the grief was, or the trauma was. The hardest part, to this day, is that, fundamentally, I don't actually know how to function as a person on my own. People who aren't twins seem to have a completely different way of operating in the world and 44 years later I still can't get the hang of it. Whatever way i developed as a twin, it doesn't help me to function in the world on my own. I'd go so far as to say, so much of how I learned to be as a twin, actually goes against me when I'm the world as a single person. The alienation is incredible. So you could add the loss of society, as an optional fourth loss. I think the only way to describe this to a non-twin is to ask them to imagine how they'd feel if they didn't have a body anymore. If you were asked to learn how to be in the world without your body. That's the degree of disorientation you find yourself in, when your twin is gone. That's how hard it is to learn how to 'be' all over again, in a world that makes no sense. It's as if my twin and i existed on another plane, and noone else ever heard of it. As if I still speak a completely different language to everyone else. I didn't intend to write so much, I better stop there. I hope some of this helps.
