An unfortunate update…my pup Rocky passed away the night after I uploaded this :-( He lived a long happy life and now he can be with Willow again

[@sgagnon7428]

I'm so sorry honey

[@jasminemichelle5450]

so sorry too hear that praying for you sending you love ❤

[@natashauriarte4380]

I cannot imagine the amount of pain you are going through back to back to back. Sending you an immense amount of love. Your fur babies will always be with you

[@akbdisnetz6fs]

sending prayers and love your way reese. i hope you find comfort in knowing rocky and willow are at peace and playing together in doggy heaven forever

[@adannayoutube4243]

so sorry for you loss. i know how it feels to lose a furry friend, but now they’re crossing the rainbow bridge together 🤍🤍

[@noahtimes1712]

this is so tragic and horrible reese im so sorry that this happened to you. thank you for letting us in on these personal struggles, you inspire so many others to push through their own in doing so. wishing you love in your grieving process xx

[@weronikadaria6361]

I hope the next month will be better for you! I'm sending some virtual hugs, take care of yourself :)

[@mckensialise]

So sorry you endured so much this past month ): If anything it shows your strength and perseverance to overcome any and all obstacles while also being vulnerable enough to share your experience. Sending you love and light and PEACE through this next chapter of your life!

[@kaylabarber12345]

I’ve had two dogs in my life that would have seizures. Trust me I understand the fear and the terror of watching that happen to our furr babies. I hope you’re little baby is better!

[@Hannah-ib2pu]

My Grandma passed away at the end of 2021. I miss her so much. You are definitely not alone with these things. Overall I can’t imagine what your going through but I wish you the best 💖💖

[@seriahalexus]

Literally when it rains it pours 😭 December and January has been soo tough!!!!

[@themindlessmess]

Been following through on Instagram and just want to let you know - dealing with grief is very exhausting. Its even beautiful at times when you relive all your precious memories. Take care of yourself and give yourself space to experience and heal. We all love you and are here no matter what! It will be a happy new year when you decide it! The date doesn’t matter! Take care bestie ❤️✨✨

[@themindlessmess]

If you’ve watched WandaVision, I’d like to quote this which I felt to my heart - Grief is just love persevering ❤️

[@rogercarrico4975]

I know grief well. The deeper the love. The deeper the grief. That pretty much sums it up!

[@sightingsara]

Emotionally speaking, this year has also been really challenging for me already as well. Your video has honestly given a lot of perspective to realize I’m not alone since there is always this pressure of happy and exciting New Years for everyone. I’m so so sorry all these things happened to you but know that we’re here to support you and take as much time as you need. Much love ❤️

[@akbdisnetz6fs]

hope things get better queen

[@emmanouelakoukoura1201]

Honestly this year started with a lot of challenges for me as well. But what I'm going to take from this video, is that the bad things are happening now, so that the good things can happen later. Thank you for that!

[@cytlalyestrada]

Girl I’m 3 min in and I want to hug you through the screen 💕✨ We’re 100% rooting for your mental health and physical Heath for you and your family/furr babies/friends. Sometimes we just gotta feel the emotions that we don’t want to feel. Can’t ALWAYS be positive .... now my childhood furr babies are chilling with your childhood furr baby rn and sending all the positive healthy vibes to the ones still on earth! ✨ at the end of the day every soul is still here just not physically here. Take your time! Girl take ur time! 💕✨✨

[@autumn_-oc3mx]

Ugh you aren’t alone love. My childhood dog had a medical episode and collapsed while I was sleeping. I woke up to a call from my dad saying that my best friend of 12 years had spleen cancer and a heart full of fluid. My mom came and got me to go see him and we made the difficult decision to put him down, as there were such low odds of any of the procedures working and we didn’t want him to be in more pain. That was a week before Christmas. And then last week we found out that my 87 y/o great grandma is in the hospital not eating and if she doesn’t perk up then these will be our last moments. I’m only 14 and I’m on my 4th antidepressant and started birth control for PMDD (which I only found out about from your channel) Gotta love life 😍🤞 But fr tho much love to you and your family and I’m knocking on wood that our year will turn around 🥲

[@basicallyreese]

aw sending you so much love🤍🤍

[@touchtext890]

oh my god when i thought it was bad it got WORSE. i’m so sorry you went through all of this all at once.

[@niyahlorraine6105]

i love that you’re still going to be making new years content for february despite all your hardships! you are so strong! just because the year started off rough doesn’t mean you can’t participate in all the things you enjoy doing. you’re so amazing reese and we love you 💗

[@morgvnnoel]

Don’t ever feel bad for putting off videos / content nor for uploading vulnerable content like this. It’s always good to be able to let out the things that’s been hurting us rather than holding them in. I understand the pain of losing a childhood dog as well as witnessing them seize up. It’s so unbelievably heartbreaking and traumatizing. I’m deeply sorry everything has been going bad for you and I hope that as time goes forward, you’re given peace, comfort, and overflowing love! Know that we look forward to your return to KZbin, but please please please, take care of yourself first! We’ll be here waiting for when you’re ready! Much love!

[@ashleyaba13]

Omg I’m sorry about all of it. I know losing your grandmother is hard but I also know that the fur babies situation hurts a lot more than anyone would like to admit.

[@luanamedeirosdefarias1476]

I feel you. Losted my grandma this month. It's very hard to go back to life after that.

[@valentinacara8729]

I totally understand it’s been a shitty start of a new year for me too but we’ll get through it:)

[@007juki]

Sometimes I just hate seeing how everyone starts the year so happily ,as I am struggling with my life. So I really appreciate you showing your vulnerability as a real human being and I am really sorry. I like yo think that after terrible things, such good and great things will happen.

[@rogercarrico4975]

Im just so very sorry. The ole saying "when it rains it pours". Really does have merit. I've seen it in my life, as well as many others. There is another that definitely holds ture I've found. " If you think you have it bad, look around" that just speak to how just about everyone has horrible struggles in life, I'm reluctant to say But, HAPPY NEW YEAR😃

[@lauralanhicks8703]

I know this sounds weird because I am so sorry for everything you've been through leading up to your "new year" (AKA February), but thank you. It's been hard not only these past few months for me, too, but the past couple of years and it is a small, strange comfort to know that the universe wasn't just "cruel" to my family and I. That, as you put it "I'm not alone". Thank you. Putting out positive thoughts that the rest of the year is better for you; you deserve it.

[@AngelsLieToKeepCtrl]

I'm so sorry for all the losses you've had all at once :( My Nana passed away last year and it's still hard to process. Wishing you a healthy 2022! I find it comforting to hear about the bad things in other peoples lives. It does make me feel like I'm not alone. I just don't like it when influencers dramatize things. Not saying you have, I really do mean others.

[@toyawimley647]

Thank you for sharing! My new years isn't going as planned either! I pray things will get better for us!

[@RosaliyaMonis]

My heart goes out to you and your family and all the doggos. We're always here to support you and love you :')

[@caitlinhallion9203]

awww I hope you are doing better x things will turn around x

[@LivinglikeLeila]

I'm so sorry for your losses and tough times. This is actually so weird because my dog died October 23rd. My grandma died December 24th. And I also got Covid that day so I was sick over Christmas and such. 2021 was a really rough year for me overall but things have been getting better. I know it will for you too 🙏

[@janiquekulik2638]

that mercury retrograde shadow period hit you HARD! i send you all the positive energy in the world, ly

[@karliekole]

We’re happy your back reese! You’re so strong & inspirational to us all. 💓

[@kailamallard]

Reese, I am so so sorry for all you're going through right now. I lost my grandmother in April of 2021 and it really caused me to spiral and enter a super deep depression. And after that shit just kept hitting the fan and getting worse and things still are happening and i'm like "universe give me a break bestie!!!!" but thank you for sharing because even though it is heartbreaking to hear other people are struggling, it's also a little bit comforting knowing you are not the only one hanging on my a thread lol. I'm sending you lots of love and healing energy!!

[@madalynwatson8351]

Congrats on hitting 100k Reese! I’m sorry that it happened to coincide with all these horrible things you’ve been struggling with. You deserve so much better. I’ve also had a difficult January (including getting COVID) so I’ve just deduced that January is a part of 2021 and not 2022. Looking forward to more of your content! But I know that all your subscribers including myself totally understand why you needed this break. Sending love and good vibes your way 🥰

[@zionroberts6592]

i lost so many people during covid. it kinda crazy like honesty so many furnerals. its crazy. so many people in my family have cancer too so i relate to so much so many people that you know that was close, kinda hit home. a lot. but i hope for best for you resse, hope you have good month this year and rest of the year. sending all postivie vibes only.

[@madison5787]

Wow, sounds like we have the same (temporary) curse. I'm glad I'm not the only one whose had a mountain of....events....happen to them. I have the same perspective - hopefully all (most?) of the bad stuff is out of the way and the rest of the year will be less stressful. I'm so glad you made this video; it has made me feel less alone. I know people try to stay positive but for me it creates a facade that I believe - That everyone else's life is "perfect" and it makes me feel horrible. Thank you for sharing your month, and I am really sorry for what has happened to you.

[@basicallyreese]

wishing you the best🤍🤍

[@madison5787]

@@basicallyreese Thank you ☺️

[@PurplePower71]

I literally just found your channel this week and started watching all your videos because I relate to you so much. But WOW I literally wanna cry for you. You are such a light and you are handling everything so well!! I think you’re right that all the bad things of 2022 are getting out of the way and it’s only UP FROM HERE!! Take care love 💕

[@basicallyreese]

🥺🤍

[@tanvibehl1407]

Omg Reese my heart goes out to you 🥺💔 It's devastating to hear about everything you went through. Can't even imagine how hard this must've been for you. It shows on your face. I'm glad you're being positive regardless and are in high spirits hoping for a better year moving forward 😌❤️ Also, would love to watch your dreams, goals, vision board, routines and to do list videos! It really helps me get inspired and adopt the good habits watching you. And I know it's hard to share your personal struggles with others and u shared it online with everyone but it really helps me feel connected to you.

[@PriyaRanjan613]

Omg Reese I'm so sorry for everything you experienced. I know how scary it is to witness your dog having a seizure... my dog actually has epilepsy and it's horrifying. I really hope you're holding up ok. Sending hugs and lots of love ❤

[@LifeOfCandice]

I'm so sorry Reese! This is hard! Prayers for peace and comfort ❤️ Congrats on 100k

[@mckenziejeanne4508]

Oh Reese, I'm so sorry. ❤ My heart broke for you when I saw the thumbnail. It just seems like one bad thing after another. You do NOT deserve any of this. Please know that I am sending you love & support right now. 💕💕💕

[@laurengriffin3255]

Reese, I'm so sorry that's how your year started but thank you for being vulnerable with us. I also had a horrible start to the year (randomly got covid, a death in the family, and a personal medical emergency.) Congrats on 100k and I wish us a much, much better rest of 2022. :)

[@carolina_fgs]

I have a theory that bad things always happen all together, but also good things! Hopefully next month is better and lots of good things happen to you! I'm so sorry for everything 😔

[@mrpalmer255]

I’ve only recently started watching you because I was going through a tough time myself and you brought so much calmness and positivity to my life … I’m so sorry all this happened I hope you start to feel better and my heart goes out to everyone you lost

[@RachElizabethxo]

Also, I think starting in February is a really good idea and could positively impact a lot of viewers. There’s always so much pressure to ‘start new’ in January and obviously life circumstances don’t always allow for that. So it’s really inspiring to watch someone doing that in another month to show it’s never too late❤️❤️

[@SarahVinci100]

I lost my uncle in August and truly I’ve learned you never get over it. I pass on my dearest sympathies and hoping things get better for you❤️

[@SarahVinci100]

I also had covid last week

[@neurodivergentdawn]

So sorry you’ve had a tough time Reese. Well done for 100k subscribers. I kept checking to see when you were going to hit it and I got a dopamine hit. Also I’ve been watching you since your school days and you thoroughly deserve it. Lots of love 💕

[@annieslotnick27]

Reese, honey, I am so incredibly sorry you have had many negative things happen to you. I’m truly so sorry for your losses, and I’m so sorry you had that traumatizing event happen with Zoe and your dogs. As tragic and horrible as all that was you WILL be ok. We have all had situations where life really shits on you in every way shape and form, but we get through it and heal. I’m so proud of you for doing your best, I know grieving and healing can be such a hard process. I’m here for you and sending you and your loved ones love. ❤️❤️❤️

[@piyakar9640]

Never thought i would say this to a youtuber, but booooo i missed you.🥺💖 Also more power to you💖💖

[@sophia-nv6uw]

I was worried about you when you didn’t post for so long! I’m so sorry Reese. Please keep doing things that are good for your soul, this too shall pass.

[@rommers7019]

This year started for me not really well tho! I'm need to go to school and i do but, i cant concentrate and i cry on school. But i let nobody show this, on school because im scared. I hope that u guys are doing good!

[@roseforcatsandbooks]

It just looks you had my 2021 start of the year in 2022… except I didn’t get covid, just major depression and anxiety and a cold. I just hope you can feel better soon. I know I do now. Even when we suffer so much, just know that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel

[@theezzie]

That’s so horrible! I hope your dogs are feeling better. I had covid during Thanksgiving which was really disappointing. But not going to lie though I actually love being quarantined lol.

[@MsSarahLovesToSing]

I know so many people that have lost their dogs this month, including me. It’s heartbreak like no other

[@basicallyreese]

sending you love 🤍

[@Orokusaki1986]

I feel like I've been going through some stuff in a similar timeline. Last grandparent passed in November, Birthday, xmas, and new year spent alone, work is going awful and apparently I had some fake friends that randomly blocked me out of nowhere.... I hope it's all uphill for us, pretty soon.

[@mikigronold6725]

Dude I relate to you on a different level. Thank you for making me not feel so alone :) keep fighting gorgeous!

[@Ykelli]

I’m sorry this happened to you! This past month hasn’t been great for me either. I hope everything gets better forward!

[@samanthacapell1897]

this is horrible... I'm sorry you had to go through all of this. thank you for sharing, it was incredibly vulnerable and it definitely helped a lot of people, myself included

[@flogaribaldi9895]

i have a few things to say… *clears thoat* HI I MISSED YOU!!! i actually can relate to a few things, my grandma passed away too, and also right before a holiday, it was horrible but it wasn’t sudden. My cat has a tumor but she is living through it. I just wanted to say that i understand and its nice to know that you understand too, and now i feel better jeje. I just wanted to say thank you, you are great and i hope everything gets better bc i know it will. So yeah thats it, im glad you posted!!!

[@dayzimae2741]

I love your vids and my 2022 is not going so well, I made so many resolutions/goals for the new year. “New year, new me” is not so right for this year.❤️💜

[@harleyshanks]

I feel bad clicking the like button but I like that you're back! I found your videos in August, and then binge watched a lot through January and obviously subscribed and then wondered where you went. I'm sorry to hear you had such a rough month and I hope the rest of the year is better for you.

[@lorenaxcouch]

My father recently had to go to the hospital on my brothers bday and then two days later he had to go again, km hoping he can just get through monday so we know what's wrong. I'm so sorry for your loss, and I hope zoe feels better now ❤

Omg I'm sorry you had to get through all this.. but I'm happy you're back & I miss your vlogs so much

[@alyl8991]

I am so so sorry to hear all of this Reese! Don't feel like you need to sugar coat it, life sucks sometimes. I remember when you posted the news about your Grammy and my heart dropped, what a huge loss. I'm also sorry about your dog. My elderly dog also recently had a seizure at night. Just as you described Zoe's seizure, it was traumatizing. For a second I thought she had died in my arms, but thankfully she didn't. I also couldn't sleep following that because I was constantly making sure she was breathing. I am glad Zoe is okay though! Let's hope things will only go up from here!

[@basicallyreese]

sending you love!!

[@iguessimalex8521]

i am so sorry all of that happened to you

[@yasemintopuz]

I have been following you since you were in high school. And to be honest, you kept coming to my mind at this period and I checked if you had posted a video.

[@zoereynolds5835]

My new year started off similarly, my grandpa died just before Christmas as well. 2022 is greaaat😬

[@KatiaJauregui13]

I’m so sorry all of this happened to you, so close. I can relate to you because I also had a not so good start of the year, in fact I had similar situations to you 😭 but thank you for sharing, you are one of my comfort persons I’m so happy to have you back 💛🥺

[@constanzalobosarmijo446]

[@samkhaled2383]

thank you so much for sharing .And I'm so sorry for your loss .. I LOVE the idea of starting the new year in February it's been a difficult month for me mentally it still is :( but hopefully it'll pass with healing, love, and grace.

[@laurawarburton]

You are such a strong woman and you have been through a lot. What I admire is your overall attitude and willingness to get back to normal. Thank you for sharing, and I hope you have a wonderful February. :)

[@basicallyreese]

thank you🥺🤍

[@BuffytheRealSlayer]

Aww, sweetie. Lots of virtual hugs and much good vibes being sent your way.

[@kmac23]

i’m very familiar with the stress and anxiety of life constantly giving you curveballs and it’s not easy at all. my dog passed away due to a seizure this past year and it was a very traumatic experience for me. i hope you’ve been able to take care of yourself and your mental health throughout all of it. december put me in a depressive episode, different from my others because it lasted so long and i’m still trying to come out of it now. thank you for sharing with us, and i’m very excited to see the new years content in february because i will be joining u on that! february is the start of 2022! feb 1 is harry’s birthday so it’s perfect!!

[@basicallyreese]

harry’s birthday is a new national holiday of late new years😌

[@vrindasharma8841]

I hope you're doing better,I relate to you so much because the past couple of months have been so bad,I hope everyone who had a bad time can heal and I agree,January is cancelled,I am with you in starting this year from February

[@crystalmariegee4268]

I'm so sorry, prayers for better.

[@laurawhite8216]

We love you, I hope February is sm better for you!

[@Courtcat1324]

Good stories are written to have a great start but a tragic ending, or a tragic start and a great ending. That's why parents die in Disney movies. Life imitates art! I'm sure it'll get better but in the meantime, how ever you feel is valid and it matters. You're still here despite all of that and you should feel proud that you've been so resilient and listened to yourself so well through it all

[@heyitsbella948]

I am so sorry :( I hope that this coming month goes better for you love

[@carlaalcolea6194]

Girl, i hope wonderful things happen to you cause u deserve it!!!!

[@dunno4624]

Hope you're better and I like the idea of starting the year on February, unfortunately for me February was the shitty month. Anyway hoping on march things get better. At least in my case all the shitty stuff is only happening directly to me and not to the people that I care about I think is a bit easier to handle.

[@anadmaral]

i agree on erasing january and i'm so sorry about everything

[@saraahmedxxo]

i'm so sorry you had to go through all that, i hope you feel better very soon. also, please please don't feel pressured to create content if you don't feel like it, don't be too hard on yourself. it's okay. sending you a virtual hug🤍

[@chhavimonga]

THANKKK YOUU FOR SHARING THIS !! Because I know New Years are always supposed to and usually do start great, but this year the new year just didn't even feel like a new year and don't get me wrong I already really loved my life in 2021 so I wasn't looking for a big change, but things just didn't start off right or fresh for me in 2022 either and I've been struggling with a lot as well and things have just been going wrong in every way they could and it felt like everyone was saying how great things were going on for them in January and how they knew this year was gonna be great because of it and I just felt like I was the only one who wasn't going to have a good year and just watching this made me feel so much better because you're not doing the whole fake positive new year new me new life shit here !! I truly do hope that the year gets a lot better for you, and I'm sure it will because things can only go up from here!! A lot of us will be starting the real new year in February too because January felt like a bad trial period lol, and hey it's still just as cold and depressing outside so whose gonna know the difference in months anyways

[@basicallyreese]

lots of love to you!!!

[@hayetnouisri7392]

Stay strong reese may god protect you and may the rest of the year will be full of hapiness and positivity you deserve the best you are such a inspiration for me as a strong person . I am sorry for your lost of your beloved granny and ur family dog.
