Tyler Perry's Powerful and Emotional Speech at a Celebration of Black Cinema & Television

[@GoldenLady1007]

My father passed away 47 years ago next month and I am NOT "over" it. IMHO, we do NOT "get over " the loss of people we love, especially our parents. We learn to live with it, to be happy and enjoy life anyway. I would stop associating with anyone who told me to "get over" the loss of my loved ones, especially my parents. I will NEVER be "over" their loss; I just have learned to manage their absence. I have decided to choose joy, and not misery, as often as possible. May the lives of anyone reading this ALWAYS be blessed with good health, happiness, love, peace and prosperity. ✨️🙏🏾💛

[@iyonnahammondslove]

...........wow. thank you sm. I really needed to hear this for myself. I missed my dad soooooo much and I lost him at such a young age...8 years old. Thank you.

[@GoldenLady1007]

@iyonnahammondslove You're welcome. I am SO sorry for your loss and I am grateful I could help. I was 14 when my Dad left and it DEVASTATED me. ✨️🙏🏾💛

[@ardem6596]

Tyler Perry has me tearing up at work. My Mom made her transition Sept 30th. I think I am still numb so I will take Mr. Perry's advice and feel all the feelings. And definitely no BS!

It's not just people at the bottom who try to tear you down but also the people at the top and near top that try to tear you down too.

[@kenthiawhite4901]

My dad died almost 5 years ago and there is not a day I don't think about him. Someone once said "grief is simply, love that doesn't have anywhere to go" and it really is. But I've also learned in grief there is also gratitude because I"m grateful for the memories that we had up unto his final days. Grief can also be for relationships and sometimes the hardest grief is grieving over someone who is still alive because they left with no explanation.
