I never once heard the word God put in this article. I loss my husband of 63 years in November 2023 and if it had not been for my faith I would probably not have survived this whole ordeal. I deeply feel for and pray for anyone that does not have their faith to lean on.

Losing my beloved mother unexpectedly has been the most painful loss of my life. 💔

[@rachelroberts3628]

Same .. lost mum suddenly June 3 . I am 51 and cry each day as my stomach just feels a massive pain all the time ..

[@QueenYak]

I am so sorry to know of your loss. A beloved mother is the gift of a lifetime. Peace to you.

[@QueenYak]

@@rachelroberts3628 I am so sorry to know of your pain. There are no words that can remove it, but you are not alone. Peace to you.

[@rajangp2001]

Let peace be with you and family.. Your Mother is divine..and with the divine now for her better. Divinity works upwards...

Loosing your wife or husband is like loosing half of your life. The one who shaired every day and nite with you. and all your memories..and now when you think of your past its all in your mind and no one to remember it with.. the alone feeling is very hard.. My wife has been gone almost 4 yrs and i still talk to her all the time...everything i do reminds me of her...I can keep busy most of the day but the sitdown times alone I think of her at nite I think of her more..being in a store alone reminds me if her..I always heald her hand walking and when driving..

[@susanbuckley4153]

This video came just in time…. I’m grieving now and I just feel so lost .. I keep telling myself “this too shall pass”. Being single without ANY family is hard :( Thank you for sharing this great video.. 🙏🏼

I lost the love of my life a week ago and i have zero family support and Im lost no purpose, nothing just literally going through the day not caring whats around the corner💔

[@julialaureano1225]

I have lost my husband of 45 years on the 28th august this year. Im going through all those feelings and one thing i realized is, apart from my children, i have nobody else. Everyone says I'm here for you, count on me, you not alone but the fact is people carry on with their lives, staying in their corner and have no time not even for a phone call. I'm disappointed of how people can be so self centered and distant nowadays. Sorry but his is how i feel...

[@bride8305]

(HUG) I just lost my husb too, 55 years together. I have a hard time talking with family other than my boys (they are so busy working) and with their own lives, I do not want them to suffer, it is hard enough losing their Dad. You are so right people are so self-centered and distant. People do not want to be around those grieving, they are sorry for your loss period. God's power is made perfect in our weakness, I pray He will open up the darkness and let His LIGHT shine in us.

[@nickdiaz3737]

Lost my wife of 47 yrs

[@stevepollard2169]

That's OK I was thinking the same today, since my wife of 40 yrs past this October there were some very close friends of my wife who never came to the funeral, plus hardly anyone calls to see if I'm OK. They are so rapped up in their own world they forget you. Or just pay lip service hoping I don't ask for help.

[@carmellarkin4803]

After my daughter died my dogs have been my life line. They understand when people don’t.

[@pudik2008]

I’m so sorry for you,I feel for you as I lost my adult son,it hurts so much! Sending you hugs.🫂🫂

[@user-nn1wx4sc4x]

My life is a constant torture since the death of my Husband Robert on 07 September 2022. He had an integrity that very few have, and making a choice, I would marry him very time ❤️ To all who are grieving and other sufferings as well.

[@tinastarkin7199]

This is one of the best online videos of grief i have seen. I can relate to it so much.

[@dellacateworld]

I lost my mom and husband within 9 days. I am so broken still and so so alone.

[@kristal5260]

Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry. The pain we endure on this earth is herendous! 😢

[@mimibeard7460]

I have lost 2 men I have loved to cancer in 5 years .😢

[@loveconquersall143]

Thank YOU so much. Gosh I really needed this. I'm made to feel guilty all the time for "not moving on' and I feel so lonely in this grief, it's not funny. Everybody else has already forgotten that he's gone, but I'm feeling and thinking about it every single minute of every single day because we were together 24/7. His 2 friends are no longer talking to me for some unknown reason, they completely cut me off??? 😢 PLUS I'm riddled with illness too - I have Crohn's and a dizziness & balance disorder 24/7. So I can't live a normal life. I'm that depressed that I just want to join him. Gosh I wish I lived over there. Here in this little city in Western Australia, there's next to NO help or support. I wish there was A Spark Of Life group here! ❤

[@sadiemoreno3642]

Hi. I’ve lost my partner as well. He abandoned us suddenly and it’s hurt so much. I have an inner ear problem and can’t do as much as others sometimes. I hope you’re doing a little better.,

[@sharons5714]

So sorry you are going through this alone. Please get help, possibly from a therapist or a clergyman.

[@mb19873]

How are you doing now?

[@cav8000]

This helped me tremendously. Well spoken. This is some of the best advice I have come across. Thank you for posting this.

[@shelleycharlesworth5177]

Take all the time you need. What helped me was walking, talking, crying, journal writing, support group and private grief therapy.

[@tylagarcia4091]

Thank You!!!

[@Dawghome]

Also for me there were warning signs prior to my son's death. I had the vaguest curiosity about. The grandad who'd saved my sanity as a kid after my mum left my dad. He kept visiting & stroking my right forearm gently. Something an ex said over 20 years ago also went through my mind. "There are sometimes in your life where you'll feel completely alone"! Yes, I wondered why that was happening. I'd not connected the dots!! Good god I miss him though!! I always will.

[@vickifrederick2934]

Do not forget the loss of pets!!!!

[@clol6049]

people often undermine that loss but it can be a profound pain for some. including me, i lost my baby turtle and ive heard that it may sound "silly" for some. her personalityt is not replaceable and shes gone, she died so young. she was supposed to out live me or atleast live with me for a significant portion of m life. it may not be comparable to the loss of a human but it is still pain and it is valid.

[@asharsmusic]

I lost my true 8 yr love.
