I am Kev's Son in Law Brad. To those of you following Kevin I unfortunatly have some horrible news. Sadly Kevin passed away suddenly yesterday morning. He will be missed by all of us here as well as by the folks whom his videos have reached. He was one of lifes good people.

Great video. You make valid points. I've gotten past, for the most part, the pain of grief and of mourning but I haven't been able to stop loving my dead wife and I don't think it's fair or right to ask another woman to love me while I still love my dead wife. How does one give their full heart to someone when a part of that heart will always belong to another person who has passed on? Doesn't seem kosher to me. Further, as you mention in the video, I don't want to put someone through the same grief, over me, that I experienced in losing my wife. That too doesn't seem fair or even loving to me. I've come to the conclusion that I will be alone the rest of my days... and that scares me. I figure that for me "moving on" will come when I draw my last breath.

That's pretty much my take on it. I have overall accepted that my role in life now is to be Granddad and support my daughter and son in law for as long as I can. But there are times when an emptiness hits me, in the middle of a lonely night not being able to cuddle. Having watched, listened, or read something, and then not being able to discuss it openly and honestly, knowing however stupid my opinion it will be listened to. Sometimes these thing do get to me.

Your experiences, as you state them here, are very similar to mine. I still struggle.

Yes, I don't think anything I went through is new or unique, but when we are going through them they feel like they must be, after all how could anyone get past some of those very strong feelings, it is also easy to believe that because we go through this we must be crazy, but sadly it is the horrible reality for many of us.

Amelia The Ripper is a cutey. Yes, you're correct, anger is a natural part of grief. You hang in there.

MsPrincesspaulina if I don't watch her she will steal the show.

(chuckles) You just let her steal the show then. You keep making videos too so long as you feel it helps you.

I think you're doing a wonderful thing with these videos, you're helping others as you help yourself.

Never mind my youtube name, I'm a male and also a widower, 13 years now. I just wanted you to know that others are watching and we understand. My deepest sympathy, and empathy, for the loss of your beloved Angela.

Thank you so much, I know the quality is low in the videos, but I hope that talking of my experience at least shows people that what they are feeling or going through is not madness but part of a horribly normal process.

Kevin: I think the video quality is just fine. Don't worry about it. The important part is your message and your reaching out to other widows. You just keep making your videos and reaching out to the world. I'm in Minnesota, U.S. So your story is being heard around the world.

Thank you for your support. I have been testing them on a USA viewer before actually "going public" so the message does seem to travel quite well :-)

Your message travels well because it's a very real, honest, and human message. Grief is something we must all face in life and there is no textbook for it. You stay strong.
