Planning my mom’s funeral today. Literally on the way. Lost her 2 days ago, I’m 37. The best way to put it is it feels surreal; and there’s a strange sensation that a lifeline on the raft we call life has been cut, and you can feel it somewhere deep deep down instinctually that something fundamental has changed about your situation. Watching this to try to be prepared for what’s next.

Well, I tried. I'm the only child, and a woman, so I got emotional and cried a little, but I think, overall, I did a good job. I conforted the people, I walked by myself behind the coffin, my uncle - my father's brother - stayed with the body the ENTIRE time and arranged the service, the documents, everything. That day I didn't see only my uncle, I saw a strong man who was trying to protect my mom and me.

This was informative, but way too all over the place for what I seeked to watch this video for. Leading My Father\s funeral. It seemed to veer off onto so many different topics that it never provided a solid and consistent focus on leadinga funeral.

6 years clean off drugs, married and divorce, daughter and baby mama unnecessary foolishness and still serving God and thinking of a master plan only if it's the Lord will

My dad passed away on 10/27 and today will be the first time I see him in person at his funeral… we lived in different states.. I have no idea how I will get through this 😞🕊️🙏🏼

My father passed away this morning. Thanks Jordan for the inspiration. I am getting ready to plan the funeral. This is just what I needed to hear.

This right here kept me going when my house burned 4 days ago and my strength of character kept my younger brother and my father going too. In my mind I kept repeating myself "I can't be standing here crying like a pussy, I have to do something"

Call your dads before you get the final call. I should have listen to JP sooner. Love you Don.

I was this. And then a year later I collapsed completely

At 7 years of age my dad left my country in search of a better life to us, he came visit us from time to time and sent money to my help my mother, me and my sister, has the time moved on he stopped coming he stopped sending money and stoped reaching to us, I never missed out on his birthday, fathers day always wished him well, he moved on without telling us anything, he build a new family and forgot us completly, I remember being a kid and wishing to reach the end of my studies so my dad came back as im the youngest, so i did the minium wishing him to come, he never did. We "moved on" one year ago I moved to other country and started making good progress in my profession, I got a house and a life there, 6 months in, my sister call's me, "dad died", i picked up a plane instantly to come help my mother with her grief, I wanted to bring him back to portugal so my grandads could say goodbye, we didnt had the money, luckly he was a good professional and all the people who he worked for payed to bring him to his land, I never shed a fucking tear, I talked with everyone who I needed to organize everything without giving trouble to my mom or my sister, i had 25 years. I standed strong huged my family and told him that everything would be fine and carried the coffin and burried him with a pack of cigarrets that's what i Recall that best of him, It's hard but be strong guys take care of your's and never leave no one behind. I had to come back to portugal due to some troubles my dad had with the law and to help my mother who still loves him alllot! my only regret was not to catch a plane to him before he died, and simply asked him why?! Live life by the fullest you never know, stay strong and keep that head high never give up. this is just to help get things out of my chest has this touched me allot!

When Jordan says "loss" but the AI translate bot turns it into "law" and even shows a video graphic of "law" ... but he sure as heck said "loss'

At my father's funeral they allowed us to shovel the dirt into his grave. There were 2 shovels. One was passed around, the other was mine, and I shoveled until the grave was full. That was the last thing I was able to do for my father. I did it fully.

My father died last night in his sleep, he’s been fighting cancer for a couple years now but he lost his mind a couple days before I came to Texas to visit him, and now I’m on FMLA for a few weeks to help comfort my people. Thanks for this video, Dr. Petersons advice is what’s been helping me throughout these years.

Has anyone noticed how absurdly hypicritical it is that Peterson says shit like this, be the strong one at your father's funeral and don't cry etc. while at the same time he can't talk about what he had for bloody dinner or plumbers without having a breakdown? He's like the picture of repression and rage boiling under the surface.

Baby I’m amazed

I heard him say this few months ago now I have to put this in to practice as my father pass away on the 4 November

Be the Strongest person at your Dad’s Funeral. Thank you Dr. Peterson, your timing is impectible

My father beat me growing up. Drunk and abusive. I graduated HS and enlisted. I fought to find my own path as a man. I taught myself everything as a boy becoming a man. I haven't spoke to my father in a long time. Probably +11 years. He has never tried to reach out and neither have I. He broke up my family with other women and created separation within my family. I am sorry for this rant but I wanted to give an understanding of my question. What will it take to feel proud of myself? I'm now almost 30yrs old, a veteran and busting my ass at my job. Married also. I feel my emotions effect my marriage and I can't control my own destiny because of this bullshit. If anyone cared to read this, I would like some kind of pep talk. I'm sorry for this story.

Great message, but these subtitles are pretty bad.

Taking a shit right now meditation

Jordan Peterson is a gift to the world

Keep the faith! The lose of father was/is the worst experience I've ever eendured. One thing that I think is noteworthy here, is the deep down we always know what to do. We may doubt it, but deep down you know what your father would do, which all in all is what is right. Until further notice, go with that.... Mr. Peterson's words here are absolutely perfect. They should be issued to every man on planet earth. Please do your part and share this with someone who needs to hear it or even someone who doesn't, because what do you know? Just do it. I'm going to do my part and share it right now. May God bless you all

And this gets considered nazi, bruh. We are doomed.

My father's funeral was 2 days ago on August 31st, 2022. Despite being fully drained by grief, I was able to volunteer to write and deliver his eulogy. It was by far the most challenging task I've ever had to accomplish. I don't wish this task on anyone but in a way it was an honour to be able to do this on my family's behalf in front of our closest firends, extended family, and coworkers - the most important people in our lives. While my Dad is now gone and this big part of my life has come to a close, in some way I feel something inside that is growing and moving me into the next stage of my potential. Thank you Dr. Peterson for giving additional meaning to those going through the same.

My father just got carried out by hospice, dead on a stretcher. To be honest I don’t know how to feel. But I’ll be damned if I don’t help my mother and brothers through this. I will be the strongest at my fathers funeral.

My father died yesterday. This Jordan helped me to go from broken to strong. It's impossible not to cry sometimes. But you have to move forward. I want to be like my father.

Today is my father's funeral. Thank you for this message Dr Peterson.

I lost my dad to alcohol. For four years i didnt talk to him or my mom because of the abuse i went through growing up. May the 5th was the last day i talked to my dad, all i remenber him telling my he loved me and to forgive him for what he did to me and that one he might die but i though he was just saying things to becaues was drinking all i told him to foucs on himself and my mom and brother and not on me because im on my own and i dont hate them for what they did to me. A few of my family members tried to blame me for his death Especially my own Mother. All i know is that i wasn't strong enough to help my dad when i was living with him and i feel like im stuck in endless desert walking with no end Site.

Three things i would personally recommend ...Aside from religion, Be Trust Worthy, Reliable, and Dependible. ...Be that kind of Individual...First. 🛡️✨✨✨ 🌱. 🌱. 🌱. 🌳.

Neither my brother or I never got the chance to be the strongest person at our Father's funeral because I was only 14 at the time and my brother 11. I try every day to live up to the moral character that my Father was, but I struggle because it feels like I don't have all the pieces. My dad never really got the chance to really teach me what it meant to be a man. So I have been trying to model myself after what I remember about him, but I always come up short of that vision that I have of him. I struggle so much but I just don't know what else to do.

It’s been years since I first heard variations of those speech. Last night I had a long open heart talk with my father whom I love immensely, and he never fails to let me know I am the pride of his life despite me being such good forsaken work in progress, but there was a long period of life growing up where we just didn’t have the sacred relationship we both deserve so much. The ideas spoken of here have guided me for the better part of decade now, and for the first time I spoke these words into the world with my own voice. He mentioned being amazed by how much I’ve taught myself in life, and it all started with being introduced to Peterson’s work and hearing these words, that’s where it started. I’m the eldest child of three in a very large family whom my father works tirelessly to hold together these days. I overall told him the internal guide in me that’s behind everything is that I have complete conviction towards being the person who picks up his torch and helps everyone move forward the day he leaves our world. It was the most genuine moment I’ve ever had, especially with dad. That moment when we both had tears in our eyes I realized that without any doubt this is the greatest path a man can pursue in life. There is no cause that will benefit yourself and the people around you more than to build the necessary character to be that person. I have a two year old son, and I mean to teach every bit of what I learn about this funny little life we all have been given the opportunity for. I truly believe humanity is at the cusp of something incredible that can’t be described, we are living through it right now and we are all charged with the role of changing the existence of every soul for the better for the rest of time. We are all awful beings when we aren’t aware of it, but with a little encouragement and character building we have the capacity to bring forth something that measures to the brilliance of gods, we just all have to take these steps together, boldly and without falter. The daemon of Socrates lives in us all, I believe that is god. A spark of divinity that gives birth to consciousness that lives within all of us. May the universe bless the messenger Jordan Peterson and his family for willingly taking on a world of abuse so more individuals can hear these messages.

Is it bad if I went to my dad funeral and didn't cry I'm 15

I lost my father on this August 22. We where always together! Unstoppable together! I love him and miss him so much! What hurts me so much was not being able to be with him because of these stupid COVID rules! A men who was there for me my whole life! Had to be alone on his last days. I was stripped from being able to give him a hug for the last time and tell him i love him. If your father and mother are alive. Please! Tell them you love them before you leave your home. Call them! Text them! You never know when the day comes

Thank you very much for creating and sharing this profound speech. It's very helpful for my partner and I.

Im going to my dads funeral today, i cant stop crying, man im 13... Love You Dad ♥

No volume !!!

My father passed away January 28th, 2022. His birthday is February 27, 1962. He would’ve been 60 this year. It is currently March 3rd. I love my father. He was and is a great man. He always had a plan. He was a survivor. He made me a strong man. I didn’t shed a single tear at his wake. A few at the mass and a few at the burial. The only person who was able to evoke some tears from me was my cousin. He too lost his father (my uncle) at a young age. I’m 23 this year…turning 24. I will be touring Europe with Freddie Gibbs this year and wanted to tell my father all about it. He’ll have to see it through my eyes I suppose. I’ll make you proud. Rest In Peace Pa. I love you

It was my father's funeral yesterday I was strong.. I carried his coffin with my brothers and spoke about him at the service... It wasn't easy, but nobody said life was gonna be easy.... Thank you Jordan Peterson 👍

I lost my mother 23 days ago. I never understood the life long grief she experienced from losing her mother. Now I do. One thing she was great at was enjoying the small things. I'm trying mom.

How could anyone not like this clip? Stop allowing main stream media to feed you lies about this person

I could do a better job at transcibing the audio, contact me if interested.

I am 22 years old waiting to get picked up from a construction site because my father has just passed, I am struggling not to break down right now, can anyone help me With how they dealt with the park.

Oh my god no. It's OK to cry at your dad's funeral.

Loosing a dad is unbearable 😭😭😭😭

Anyone who buys into the fact that happiness just happens, this guy stumbles over his words. He sounds like even HE doesn’t believe it. Happiness is MADE

I LOVE YOU DAD

My father is not dead but he tells me that he wants to die every single day. He is paralyzed and he wants to give up. This kills me from inside every day. I was super close to my dad growing up and now that we are in this phase of life just kills me. I don’t even know how to look back my childhood and smile anymore. I miss my happy dad version so much! I have given my all to cure him, took him to the best doctors, best therapist, put my life on hold and yet I am failing badly! I am running out of options. To all of the folks who lost their dad, I am so sorry for your loss. My situation is a bit different but I need that help that got you guys though the hard times. These videos definitely do help.

I lost my father in August this year I saw him pass from a heart attack with covid complications it was fast but.. the worst moment of my life I feel so dam lost I'm not gonna lie about it. I'm not weak I'm processing my best friend passing. My blood and heart my hero.

My Uncle is Passing and the Family is suffering. Thank you for Sharing. God Bless

Came back to listen to these words today as the hospital just informed us that my father has taken a turn for the worse and he won't make it. I'm in the airport terminal waiting to board, hoping they can keep him alive long enough for me to get there and say goodbye. I'm so grateful for JBP and his words. I definitely needed to listen to this again today because soon I'll have to summon that strength, put forth a proper example, and make myself as useful as possible during this trying time.
