1 Year After Death

[@brandonerickson4174]

I can't even think about what kind of feeling it must be to lose someone that close. I am so glad you and your family are doing well. Stay funny, stay positive. Your videos are the best.

[@thatwasaGOOGLY2]

This has helped me feel a lot better due to me suffering with a loss currently, so thank you damian for showing me the way forward. Truly, truly grateful.

[@damian]

My prayers and thoughts are with your aunt. Hang in there and keep strong for her.

[@Indayano]

Genuinely feels like Damian is talking straight to me about this sort of thing. Watching this made me feel better about my situation. I lost my dad couple of months ago to cancer. He was diagnosed with it a week before he passed away it was such a shock. I'm happy to know people can relate to what me and my family are going through

[@JayTheBoat]

My Grandmother was taken by cancer a year ago on May 11th. I know exactly what you're talking about. It was such a horrible thing to have happened, yet we all have to carry on, for the sake of ones lost, and our own lives. Keeping busy is very helpful, yet I still spend a thought each day for her. RIP Nan, and RIP Wes. x

[@michaeledmondson09]

Thank you for an inspiration video @Damian I lost my father 4 years ago due to an heart attack, and I have a lot of memories from him and I can't just get him out of my head because he was my hero, then I started going back to church and realized that he will always will be with me, and that God is taking care of my life and He is taking care of you as well through your loss, I love you man you keep your head held high and live your life to the fullest! God Bless!

[@Fender574]

I think it's really cool that you talk honestly about these things and post them for others to see. I have only experienced the death of my grandpa, when I was way too young for it to have affected me emotionally, so I won't pretend that I know exactly what you are going through. But if it means anything, I believe that the connection your family has with him is something special. Thanks for all of the honesty in your videos, Damian. :)

[@Bluezeast]

I'm so sorry for your loss, and I am with you on that; there is something so comforting about knowing that you're not alone, and given that I've lost my grandma and uncle in the past two years, my thoughts are with you .

[@MajorPonch]

You know Damian, about a year ago my grandmother was diagnosed with pancreatitis, which led to pancreatic cancer in the following months, and it has helped me very much to know that someone else understands how difficult it is to have a family member in poor health. I just wanted to say thanks for talking about these things publicly.

[@mark3905]

I've been watching your videos for years, and have been entertained by them countless times. This is the first time I've been impressed by one. You really took it to a different level. This is the one and only video you've done where I walk away thinking I actually know you a little bit. Good job!

[@Darth_Xionn]

I know how you feel man, I lost my dad about 13 years ago when I was 5, he died from Cancer he got from Vietnam, and it's been almost a year since I lost my sister, it's tough man. I envy you for your strength, I'm not a very social person, and I'm always dwelling on the bad things in life, but this video helped.

[@Whymedude888]

i watched this right after i got into a big argument with my brother ... and now i want to love him for who he is and my whole family. thanks damian ... and im sorry for you loss

[@AnkhJack]

Thanks for posting this. I lost my dad a month ago yesterday and I am still trying to get used to it. I have been thinking a lot about how it will be a year from now and in a way it doesn't seem possible that everything can be ok. I don't have a lot of people to talk to about it but I'm glad i was subscribed to you and found this video. It really gives me hope that things can be better.

[@x0stephx097]

I've lost 2 friends this past year to suicide and 1 other because of drugs and another in a car accident... I appreciate the courage you must have had to make this video... I think you are incredibly strong for that. Thank you so much.

[@chris92945]

These kind of videos are really close to me. Lost two of my grandparents last year so I can feel your loss.

[@Scantraxxxx]

I know what you mean Damian, it's been almost 12 years since my dad died from cancer. It's can still remember everything like it was yesterday. Still makes me wonder why time flies so fast. Stay strong man love your stuff!

[@FrAyFaNaTiC100]

Thankyou Damian, this was very inspirational. Last november my father was diagnosed with liver cancer. He has been given a year to live. It is a very tough thing to deal with but im trying to stay positive through even the worst of this situation.

[@damian]

last summer? crazy how the dates are close together. I'm sorry for your loss as well.

[@CearyAuryn]

I lost my grandpa on July 24th, last year... It was a major change for my mom's side of the family. We are now closer and getting to know each other more after years of being so far apart. It's amazing how much has changed and it is crazy trying to think about it. I have a picture of my grandfather on my dresser by another picture of him and my grandma on their wedding day. I miss him so. RIP those we lost, but may we learn and live by their ways and in thought of them everyday. Keep strong

[@wingedshoes7]

I lost my dog on Sunday and I've had pets all my life; this is the first time I've been without pets. I can relate to what you're going through, I know it's not the same, but I wish you well and you're in my prayers. Thanks for being awesome.

[@danceinnature528]

Thanks Damian. My grandfather passed away 5 years ago and some days it's still difficult to believe he's not here anymore. But like you I also believe in god and have also had experiences. It will get easier, but never forget him. Thanks so much for this video. Even though it was meant for your stepdad it meant a lot for you to share it, and it has helped me so much. Whenever i get sad, I will definitely return to this video to listen to your advice again.

[@GrandAdmiralChichi]

ive heard a lot of people talk about how there loved ones have died, but to hear it from you.... your the most inspiring of all ive heard damian. God bless you and your family. keep staying strong! your AWESOME!!!!

[@TheRiverat1]

I appreciate your ability to cope with your loss. Keeping busy is certainly important in coping with serious issues we have to face. I appreciate the strength you show. Thanks for sharing.

[@autumnmaddox4059]

gratitude and spirituality are so essential to healing this type of deep grief or really anything!!! You have a big heart and your pure crazy courage will guide you anywhere

[@CloverchildNia]

Damien, thank you so much for that video. i lost both my grandparents last year, and found out yesterday that one of the friends that i grew up with lost his wife in a bizarre way. I was having a terrible gloomy day, and this video helped me so much today. I hope i can take some of this and use it towards my friends family. again thank you.

[@smithler7]

I just can't believe it's been a year already? I swear it feels like this all happened only a few months ago. It honestly does. Keep your head up Damian. We're all here for you!

[@atlancharboy]

april 4th 2011 my life changed when i lost my godmother to cancer, one year later and does still hurt i know how you feel Damien i dont go a day without thinking about her and im grateful , the friends and family i have that have helped me thru it and to your vidoes that can always cheer me up and give me a good laugh and cheer me up. There have been good days and bad days you just have to remember they are in a better place and not in any pain anymore and they are always watching over you

[@alaninnh]

Damian, I'm about three years ahead of where you are now. My dad died four years ago so this video was of great interest to me. I not only agree with everything you said, I've lived it. I think we both are making the best of it.

[@Enchantelover247]

You know what Damian, thank YOU!! You have thousands and thousands of viewers that watch your videos and YOU make them smile and laugh, to the point of wetting themselves !! YOU make our lives happier, and when we're having a bad day or a bad time, we watch your videos and you help us escape to funny dreamland. We love the fact that we are part of your life !! So Damian thank YOU!!

[@MAKEmeSmAsH1]

Man, I feel so sorry for you. I know what that feels like, I lost my Mom a few months ago, and my Dad's gone and dead. He Overdosed. He said he didn't wanna stand living with me. So yeah, I can't even begin to say how sad I was. But watching your videos, they're making me feel a little better. Thanks so much Damian. I'll be praying for you, and I hope you can get back to to me on this comment, cuz I'm here for anyone who needs to talk. Thank you Damian for making me laugh, and everything else :)

[@ecwfaithful]

I lost my father in 2009, and I know how you feel, Damian. I wish you strength from one displaced Raiders fan to another.

[@EddyLias12]

Hey man, I really appreciate this video and it helps more than you know. I lost my twin sister in 2009, and the pain of loss is something that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Also, I have handled this devastation in a similar manner to you, and it feels really good knowing that someone, somewhere can actually understand the pain. I appreciate your bravery in posting this video, your stepfather sounds like an amazing man. Much love and God bless.

[@vaasnaad]

I can't believe it's been a year, dude. I remember seeing that video the day it came out and clicking on it immediately. Wonderful video, and wonderful thoughts. Glad you are still laughing.

[@Deathmetal4ever455]

Damien, man. Keep Wes alive in ur heart. He'll always be with you there. Condolences for your loss, respect for keeping strong.

[@Grandmaster25888]

I know how you feel Damian. When I lost my nephew 4 years ago it was kind of hard to cope with the first few years but now I still think about him every now and then when I'm feeling sad or when I just remember the memories that we had together. You and your family will be in my prayers!

[@reagan602]

Why dislike this great video. My uncle he's been gone Neely gone for 2 years and a week after he was gone I cried every night and my uncle he was special, he was one of my best friends and my uncle had a lot of problems like his kidneys was the size if wal nuts when he was 40 he had 2 or more transplants and over 120 operations PART 1

[@mattrex94]

I'm sorry for your loss, I hope your half-sister is alright and I wish you and your family the best.

[@BroseidonTF]

I remember watching that video 1 year ago. That was a side of you I never expected to see and it honestly teared me up. You're an amazing dude Damien. Way to stay strong and stay tough.

[@DeadlyClutch458]

i remember watching your video about this and made me tear up but remember you saying your sister's birthday is coming up in a month and hope that it turns out good and really glad to know that you and everybody is taking it strong and thank you for all your videos and all the dedication you do for them, they truly all are masterpiece's, your angel will always be with you

[@caseybunch]

I think it took a lot of courage for you to do this. I've been watching you since 2006 and I'm so proud of you Damian. You've brought me up when times were hard in my life, thank you so much.

[@RYD3R41]

Wow can not believe it has been over a year. I remember that heart wrenching video you posted. Your positivity is inspiring Damian.

[@algreen2]

I bet that when people have dealt with any kind of thing to make them unhappy, they have turned to your videos for comfort and to make them a little happier, so you should probably know that what you do makes a lot of people happy and I know that if I have had a bad day your videos help me to laugh and get through the day a little easier :) you're awesome!

[@fofamungy123]

I think i am super grateful for being 1. young and 2. not any of my family members dying when i was alive. I hope you recover

[@SoundslikeDisturbed]

I lost my grandpa 2 weeks ago, a 93% success rate operation failed and he was a healthy person actually.. I remembered you and watched your video again just a few days ago and now you made this. I understand everything completely

[@MartiniXXKisses]

I lost a good friend back in March, true it is still sort of new but it hurt a lot. It was a total tragedy and no one had seen it coming. He was so young... I feel for you, Damian. And I think that a good thing we can do is to live our life to the fullest and think about the people we have lost in a positive light, remember the good times and how they changed your life. I also agree with the music comment you made.

[@TheMetalstepp]

Sorry for your loss Damian. I lost my aunt in July of last year. She was definetly the most thoughful person in the world. She loved to give giftd to people and she was so nice whenever i saw her. I know what its like man. I feel the same way. Again, sorry for your loss

[@ElliottCumbee]

Damian, my dad had a massive heart attack and died in April of 2008, I was 14. I know exactly how you feel it was completly unexpected which makes it worse. I am about to graduate next month and its hard but we can get through it. I just want you to know continue to think about him, he is watching from up above and is proud of you!! Love your videos keep them coming. I just felt a connection to your situation and felt I should share my story!! Elliott

[@theGhost349]

my friend lost her grandpa this day last year too i talk to her all the time about it and she is still sad so you are a very strong man damian, stay strong.

[@LoriBug22]

It sounds like you've been through a lot of the stuff I've been through. My grandparents were murdered by someone they knew in December of 2009, a few days before Christmas, and like you said...no other way to describe it but crazy, a very dark day, and it never gets easier to be away from them. But every day I still think about them, I think of funny and good and memorable things. Thanks for posting, helps me remember I'm not alone.

[@w00tf00d]

I don't know how you can cope so well after only a year let alone make people laugh, it's actually pretty amazing you've gotta be a strong willed guy to do that

[@fiveyearsbefore]

this video is so direct and you are so real! for me you're the most self reflected person on youtube. thank you VERY much for sharing this experience with us!

[@infectedwounds17]

Very deep. Ive never seen you this serious before. Im so sorry you lost your step father. Its a good thing that you are postitive person. I lost both of my grandmothers in December in 2011, I know thats really messed up, I miss them so much. It was very diffucult for my family and I. I was really depressed for a while, but my friends and family made me strong again

[@Andy66683]

WOW. I remember watching that video the day it was posted. I can't believe it has been a year already. I am so sorry for your loss.

[@ManicPixelJem]

my brother passed away a while back, and even though I'm not religious, those spiritual moments are still felt. I too have had interesting events, so you're not alone. stay strong, sometimes it's good to feel that strong emotion and get it out once in a while. I have a good sob here and there to relieve the loss

[@TheSeThCo]

I have no ideo how I ended up at this video. I just wanted to tell you that I do not share all of your visions on coping with things like this. However, I respect you greatly for talking about this. Not many people talk about this so open as you did, you really put your heart in this. You have my respect. You just got yourself an extra subscriber.

[@djalfaro2]

Damian, I'm sorry for your loss. I have had a few losses the last year, and they are very hard, but as you said memories are helpful. Hope you are doing ok. Yours truly, A really big fan Derrick Alfaro

[@puppyy780]

It's already been a year...man. I remember seeing the video you posted when this happened and I felt so bad, man. I'm sorry for your loss, I really am. It's good that you and your family are staying positive and just remember all the memories. Best of luck to you and your family and rest in peace, Wes.

[@GlenMuse795]

I know this is much a bigger deal to you than it could ever plausibly be to me, but it's amazing how quickly time moves. I remember, very well, sitting here and watching that video and being moved to tears. Time flies.

[@Blindrock69]

Your family is strong man. You're a lucky man and I truly respect your perspective on life, you're a great man and you cope in the same way as me. Much respect

[@Justwanttobeloved34]

All of my family that has passed except for my cousin has died of cancer..in the past 3 years i lost 8 friends..the recent one was my very good friend Ryan L Edgell..this was in October so you're right damian it's extremely hard but thinking of the good times and stuff really helps..You're doin the right thing stay strong..I think of Ryan every single day

[@xxafilthyhob0xx]

June 20th will be 1 year since I lost my mom. She was my hero and the person who really made me happy. Stay strong bro. My prayers are with you.

[@LILjeremy67]

I'm so sorry for your loss Damian. I lost my real father when I was 5 years old.. It was a tough time but trust me things will always get better

[@l3ishop1]

im sorry Damian it sucks to lose a family member i lost my mom when i was 3 so unfortunately i wasnt really able to know her that well, right now im 14 and it feels like a huge piece is missing out of my life. thanks for the video it gave me a few things to think about. keep makeing your videos man :)

[@modmon1624]

I haven't lost anyone in my family so far, that i've been alive to meet. But, you are 100% right Damian. Life is very unpredictable. You never know what might happen. I also wish you and your family the best. I bet your Stepfather was an amazing man. But, the only thing we know, is that he is in a better place right now. And don't mind the people who have disliked this video. I sincerely loved this video, and I gave it a like.

[@damian]

thank you. I'm glad you were able to get something from it. I am strange but that's why I am able to make this crazy videos lol. But in reality, I am a pretty calm person. Thanks for your comment.

[@crazedyeti123]

Last April I watched the video where you talked about this. I really feel for you and everyone who has lost someone. I witnessed one of the greatest men I've ever known die, and I have also been coping with this change since Feb 21 2011. My heart goes out to your family. And I want you to know, last year your video, for me, was heart wrenching. But you are strong and it is good to see how well you have coped. Keep on doing what makes you happy though. You deserve it. :)

[@papaellison]

It's been 10 months since my father died. I know exactly how it feels. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

[@LoveStrong44]

praying for you damian... i lost my mother 3 years ago and not a day or minute goes by that i dont miss her. somedays when dealing with a loss go by slow others a bit faster but you just gotta take each day with a postive outlook and keep going on with life, friends, family, pets they all make it a little easier. I know how u feel keep doing what you do im sure you r making wes proud and hes in heaven smileing down on you each day :)

[@hayleymelissaa]

It's been a year and a half since we lost my granddad, and like you said, we've been keeping ourselves busy but we miss him like crazy

[@FranchiseVideosINC]

Wow...its been a year already? I remember tear jerking when I saw your post about it. I'm sorry man, and you know we're all here for you. We all love you man, keep on doing what you do. ~Matthew Parker

[@Polomance862]

Everything you said made me nod in agreement. I've been there. My father died when I was six. I lived a life where I barely knew my father, but sometimes I wish he was still there. Life is crazy and we can only hope in god that we pull through.

[@violinblman]

Wow, this is deep and really made me think and reflect on life. Life throws curve balls and obstacles in your way and it's up to you to find your way out. Even though it's very hard at times, there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

[@TheApostleofRock]

A neighbor school went through two suicides in about a two month span recently. I didn't personally know either of them, but i saw the pain that my friends were going through. And it hurts to think that the general people, myself included, hardly remembered it the next week. It just makes you think, and it makes me want to cherish everyone close in my life

[@MissAnimefan94]

I cried last year about the video you made, now I'm crying because of how I lost my dog and I know how it feels to lose someone/something you loved :(

[@PeaceKitten452]

It's been officially 3 days since I've lost my father. Thanks for the advice and I'm so sorry that had to happen to such and amazing person like you.. :c

[@LorettaLynn55]

Your face at the end got to me. My dad died Sept. 20, '06. We all miss him in our own way, but he was a big part of our lives. You're really strong to makes this video, but at the same time you are/have helped lots of people in the process. I think of these scriptures when I think about our loved ones: Is 33:24; Rev. 21:3-6; Dan. 2:44. Sorry if that's pushy, just know you and yours are in my prayers. Thank you for your time to share.

[@venver87]

I love seeing you being so upfront, true and personal.. Makes you much more relateable, and I have to say, I like you more after this video..

[@TopDollaEntertainmnt]

I am 22 years old and suffer from Pancreatitis. It's a terrible condition but I'm learning to live with it. I'm sorry for your loss Damien.

[@SeniorBae]

Stay strong Damian. I lost my father the same day I was born, he never got to see me and he was on his way. My mother died of sickness without me knowing all about her. I was born in the Philippines and both of my parents died in the Phil. I was moved to Australia then here in America. I've been living with my grandparents and now I live with my brother. I didn't hear about my real parents until I was ready to know. It was hard for me to accept all those. You remind me of myself, stay strong.

[@schpleeinsanity]

I don't even know you or Wes or anyone who knows you, but when you talked to him at the end, I seriously almost started crying

[@WaddupItsYaBoi]

4 people i knew, under the age of 25, died this past week. 7 days, 4 dead aspiring people. This has helped Damian. Thank you.

[@Ryanopuffs]

It's weird that I just watched this last night, after you said dont take life for granted, and yesterday my uncle was missing. He ran away with notes left for his wife and my father and brother were looking for him all day yesterday, and I found out today he shot himself. He was suffering from depression and mild schizophrenia, he was always paranoid. Thank you Damian, for this. Just a reminder for me to keep it together for my family and make sure everybody is taking it well. I love you man.

[@wowjhow]

I love these deep talks every now and then Damian... but i am sorry for your loss, i know it sucks:(... but i like that you tell us. ily youre fantastic:)

[@amylaraman]

I'm so sorry about your step dad and proud that your coping so well your very inspirational this actually made me cry I lost my nan 1 1/2 years ago I miss her like crazy wonder how many people are up there in heaven their probably having a big party and each time someone else joins them another party :)

[@Jeans11234567]

I feel sorry for all those who lost some of their family, the important part is just to keep your mind busy and you can always make us some more troll vids:) but also nice to see this one, it must be tough to make a video about...

[@UKSINGH13]

Damian, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this hard time, May your Step Father Rest In Peace.

[@yacanman11]

I'm sorry for your lost Damian, I lost my Grandmother several years ago, it's a difficult thing. Best of wishes.

[@zXBlackMagic]

This is something I can really relate to. I lost my grandad about 4-5 years ago and it still feels strange without him here.

[@Voca221]

It's a good thing you guys are staying positive. That's important. I remember my grandfather dieing... not fun. But we think about him. I'm sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

[@boosam2]

im nearly crying now because this remided me of my grandad. I was so shocked when it happened and not many people supported me by it and i miss him soo much. I hate going round there now because it remids me of it and it makes me feel soo sad.

[@hengooink]

I lost my father from stomach cancer four months ago. it is hard, and I always think about him. great video damian.

[@splinterr14]

aw i'm sorry Damian :( i know the feeling, my dad died in 2010 and it really sucks but you gotta push on :( stay positive (:

[@jigaboxx]

when i saw the title i knew it was about this. and i love how aside from all the crazy shit that damian does, he is still very serious which is a good quality in my book

[@TheBlackSaloon]

I'm sorry Damian, I've never lost anyone in my family. Im glad you pushed through :)

[@pamonicutt10]

I remember the video of when you told us about it and i started to tear up because its weird seeing you favorite person on youtube be sad. Im sorry for your loss pal.

[@RandomTstudios]

I'm they guy you replied to on Twitter last week when I told you about my Dad dying 4 months ago. You and I have the same thoughts on the loss. I try to be busy as much as possible. It sucks loosing everything you ever care for and love. My girlfriend left me today, now I'm lost.. But I'm trying to keep positive

[@KatieSC100]

love you damian, wish you and your family the best. when my grandfather died the first year was the hardest, the second year was still hard and now i just think of him every now and then. i miss him and wish he were here to be with us. stay positive damian

[@MartiniXXKisses]

Continuation: We all love you, Damian. You make us laugh and smile and brighten our day. Keep your head up Damian. I send you all my love and think of you and your family.

[@Nicksheadspace]

Music is the main thing that helps me in life, whether it be me playing it or listening to it:). Hope your ok Damian :)

[@madmonkeydude11]

The past few years i have to go to a funeral for someone who was very close to me. I know your pain and im glad your healing and coping with it.
