An emotional and honest life update

An emotional and honest life update
This is me being raw, vulnerable, and honest. I did leave the majority of this video unedited because I just wanted to be as real as possible. Thank you all for your love and support over the last few weeks. I couldn't have asked for a better online family. Sending you all so much love.
edit: A few hours after filming this video, my grandad sadly passed away. It all happened very fast and unexpectedly, but I take solace in the fact that it was on his terms and he was surrounded by his loved ones. He will forever live on in our hearts because he was such a wonderful man. I miss him so much. I will speak about everything when I am ready but right now, I am still emotionally exhausted.
Love, Jamie x

Nobody is "good at doing that stuff", Jamie but you are there and present and sharing the experience with all the people that matter. Life is never fair. Sending you all, love and strength

I'm so sorry Jamie. Loss, unfortunately, is a part of life. Grief will give way to happy memories with time. If you get too low, then keep this in mind... what would your grandpa want you to do? Would he want you to pine away in depression? Or would he want you go out there and live your life?...the life he helped to give you. I think you already know the answer to that question. Hugs

My heart goes out to you. Losing my mother has been the worst thing I have ever gone through yet. I don't think it's easy to lose anyone you are close to. Your family will need you so much right now and you're going to need them just as much.

[@davidjefferies8197]

My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. I lost both my parents within 6 days of each other right around Thanksgiving. Time is a great healer. Allow yourself to go through the emotions. It's all part of the healing process. I think of them almost every day and feel that keeps them ever so close even though they are not here beside me. Much love to you all during this difficult time.

I am so sorry for you and your families loss Jamie. I hope you are able to take some comfort in like you said, it was on his terms. Cherish the memories!!! That is a wonderful picture that you posted.

Jamie: I'm sorry about what happened. Take your time of mourning. When the closest grandfather died it was very painful for me too. It is in Heaven where we will all be one day. Talking is good for you. Speak your feelings to Liam and a trusted family member. I understand that it happens at a very significant moment (Christmas) where joy persists. My grandmother passed away on a similar date (December 1). It's okay not to pretend you're happy. I understand. It will be in my prayers🙏. A hug!🤗

[@paulweston8755]

Hi Jamie, I am so sorry to hear of your sad news and the grief you are experiencing, much love to you and your family 😘🌹

[@iamjackwatson]

So sorry to hear about your loss Jamie. Your video was so relatable, I lost a family member recently for the first time too and the emotions that come with that are just so surreal. Always remember his spirit is with you every single day xx

[@jeffreydodge2586]

Jamie my love. You are so sweet. Your heart breaks and I know it hurts. Such a good grandson. You and your family are in my prayers. Thank you for sharing this difficult time. I know it will help others who go through loss and grieving. Be kind to yourself. Love as you have always loved and be the man who makes your grandfather proud. I know you already are.

[@brianmatthews1736]

Who cares about the lighting....your eyes are still gorgeous! Losing a family member is NEVER easy...learning how to accept the loss is the hardest.. Jamie, you know that your Grandad loved you, and the rest of your family. He is now in a place that there is no pain. I lost my mother several years ago...approx 8..I don't keep track...but time eases it a bit, but it never heals it. The old saying time heals all wounds...should be changed to Time eases all wounds...Jamie we are here to listen, and to talk IF you need or want it...good bless you...we all love you kiddo....please take care...we will be waiting right here....

[@giulianapoumian347]

Sorry to hear about your loss Jamie, it's so sad 😰😰 I'm sending you and your family so much love and my condolences. 3 years ago I lost a family and my emotions are just surreal for me I get sad and I cried a lot. I promise you will be okay. Lots of love to you during this difficult time❤. Remember that always his spirit is with you every single day. Lots of love for you ❤

[@AndrewMichaelRossi]

sending condolences Jamie, be strong my friend.

[@fredsaint-onge7456]

Sorry a family member is as healthy as in the past...yes talking about it well certainly help and counting on the support of Ian will assure you that you are not alone..he is there...I myself, three years ago, although some 40 years your elder, lost both my parents in the space of 2 months...both were elderly and left a few moths apart after 65 years of marriage...I also like you find myself so lucky since I had them all those years...my faith and their love for myself, my siblings and each other has been my strength. My husband, has been there to help as best he can, like Ian truly seems to be for you. My heartfelt best wishes and prayerful support accompany you and yours.

[@jasonvanoverbeke480]

So sorry for your loss.

[@davidaskew217]

I'm really sorry for your loss. This is something that most people have to go through at some point in their life, and it totally affects everyone in different ways. Doing this video and saying what you did is so brave and you have my deepest respect and admiration for that. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but things will get easier moving forward. Life changes for us all the time and in some ways keeps us on our toes - doing what you do... talking, blogging and examining your feelings is a great way of addressing/dealing with things in your own unique way. Take some time and continue when you are ready to do so. Wishing you all the best x

[@tytheplantguy]

I'm sorry to hear that about your family member. ☹ I'll keep you in my prayers boo.🙏

[@jeffmurphee1167]

Jamie, we love you and as they say "we got your back" Lean on your friends in times like this, thats what they are there for, or at least that is how i see myself in regards to others..

[@wlarsen70]

Dearest Jaime, you are such an amazing soul and I am so deeply sorry for your loss. It is never easy to lose a loved one. But you will always have your memories of him, which will give you comfort and strength. And as time passes, he will always remain in your heart and in your thoughts as a fine example of someone who touched your life so deeply. I wish I could be there to give you the world's biggest hug. I guess a virtual hug will have to do. Know that this person who is half way around the world from you cares deeply for you and will be thinking of you in your grief. Be well, my friend. You are amazing.

[@ScottJonesTVonline]

I love you Jamie. I always have. I think you know that. Sending more love your way at the moment. You may not believe it -- but speaking from experience -- things WILL get better with time. Mourn as long as you need, but then celebrate his life and think of the good times you spent together. In what ever way you find it, I hope you find peace Jamie. You are a beautiful soul. I hope you find a way to process all this, not let it overtake you, and let your beautiful soul shine through again. If for no other reason, for your own sake, and Ian's, Charlie's and your Mum and Dad's. Now I am rambling. I am always here for you my friend. You know how to reach me if you need ANYTHING. Peace be with you. xoxoxo

[@victordepaul1061]

Losing someone close to you like this is never easy Jamie😥 You’re around people you love and gorgeous Bella and they’ll help you get through this. No need to apologize for posting a “sad” video. While I do love the quirky, upbeat happiness that is the norm in your videos, your friends and followers (your “beautiful people”) are here to listen to you during the bad times as well. It does help to just talk about it Jamie. My thoughts are with you and your family and I wish the best for you always.☺️☺️

[@madeleineallen8812]

Sending you and your family so much love. It’s the most heart breaking feeling but I promise you, you will be okay. Your so strong ❤️

[@primoleahy5088]

Iam so sorry for your sad news my thoughts with you and your family Jamie I felt the same way when I lost both my parents everybody has different ways of showing grief and you will find your way and not the way people tell you the pain does ease but never goes away try think of the good and funny times if need get to see your councillor always hear for you god bless and rip your granddad xx

[@patrickgomes2213]

Hug your family and tell them you love them. Every time you see them because you don’t know when the last time will be. And I mean family which doesn’t mean blood relations. (For those estranged from their blood relatives)

[@alanr585]

Your grandfather would have passed away in a happy state of mind and knowing just what it was like when he lost his parents and perhaps he like my mother, he will be looking forward to being with his parents again. You'll notice that when people die of old age they already have prepared themselves for the next stage whatever it is. Life is good, enjoy each day.

[@LittleOwlLoves]

Sending you so much love and big hugs 🤗❤️ I hope you are coping okay with your loss xxx

[@michealcollins2001]

Condolences on your loss, young man. The most sincere remembrance of anyone you’ve lost is the reflection of them in your own life. Take what your grandfather has given you in the form of memories, kindness and love and show it to the world. Allow yourself time to grieve-be it a year or a lifetime-but never allow yourself to be robbed of the life he wanted for you. Listen to his echo to find your voice in this life. Much love to you and yours.

[@stevebuckley1431]

Jamie ... you are strong ... I lost my husband last year and like you had never suffered a loss like this before ..not sure if that is good or bad. Take it a day a moment at a time....do not force anything mourning has it's own time table for each person...hugs

[@Lylo-mj8ek]

As always Much Love and Respect, You are in my prayers beautiful young Man. Peace.

[@anacristinacruz5071]

Don't be so hard on yourself. Bad things happens to good people, and real Nice things happens to good people like you. Go easy. Sending your way happy vives.😔☺️😊

[@scott9607]

So sorry for your loss you are in my prayers 🙏hang in there buddy and know that we are all here for you and your family ❤🙏❤

[@cliffordgoodrich3773]

So very sorry to hear about the passing of your grandfather, Jamie. Perhaps you might take some solace in the fact that your grief is proportional to the love you had for him. In other words, your deep depression and sadness reflects the emotional attachment you and your grandfather had. It's okay to grieve; it's okay to cry; it's okay even to be angry. It's never easy to lose someone who has been such an important part of your life. He lives on though you and how you have been affected by his being in your life. Take care.
