What I've Been Going Through | Dominique Sachse

[@debbiewatterson5182]

Dominique I want you to know that in late 2019 my eldest son passed away, he was a firefighter medic. It was the beginning of the pandemic. I became very overwhelmed with grief. One late night I was on my phone and came across your channel. You saved my life, you saved the rest of my family. You made me get up, get dressed, put on makeup, and so much more. You are a beautiful soul, a beautiful daughter to your Heavenly Father. We are all perfectly, imperfect. Thank you for saving me, from my despair. Hugging you through the cloud

[@jeanwillis7774]

Debie, you are a wonderful woman. What a survivor!!

[@mariacastro2222]

Debbie, as a grieving mother, I completely understand what you are saying. I lost my son John in 2016. What Dominique is saying rings so true--we MUST carry on. People depend on us. We need to get up, get dressed, and show our faces to the world, no matter how much pain we are feeling. Sending you hugs.

I am a woman in my 70’s and this video has left me speechless. You are beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. All I can say is that you are the epitome of class. There is not a woman here who can’t be empathic to what you are going through right now. You are the ideal modern woman who faces life with class and grace. Don’t ever try to justify living your life as you are.

The love of my life walked out on me about 4 months ago, after nearly 38 years of marriage. I was blindsided, shattered. I cry in private, I smile in public. I don't have another 38 years to build a new life. What the rest of my life will look like is entirely up to me. And, that's how I discovered your videos, while searching for things to help me be a better me, for me. Thank you from the bottom of my broken heart. Life goes on, so shall I, and so shall you.

Well, when you go to the grocery store, you can pick out exactly what YOU want for dinner. I always thought of my husband. Now, you can think about what You want! Please treat yourself to some nice experiences, and buy yourself a snazzy, new outfit that makes you feel like a million dollars. I suggest you get involved with a good church, volunteer to help the poor, needy. God bless you. You are in my prayers. Oh, my mom said, if you want a husband, go to church, talk to people over coffee and donuts. You can make some new girlfriends too!

[@poppyknight5862]

I know that feeling of just being totally shattered, and the fear inside of me thinking how would I survive in all ways, and starting again..I am not with anyone, and I dont need anyone and I dont have time to find someone that I can love, trust and share my life with, I enjoy having my own place, enjoy having the whole bed, to myself, I enjoy making decision just for me..I am scared to meet someone, as I could not go through that horrific pain, again, physically and mentally..THANK YOU

[@4lb280]

The best part of this sentence is "what the rest of my life will look like is entirely up to me" Exactly. Enjoy it. Embrace the pain you must feel....feel it, and move on. Live for you and only you for a change. I love my husband of 34 years, but there are many days that this doesn't sound so bad.

[@yolandamuller5995]

Dear Signum I wish you all the best for your future. Whenever you feel bad, remember this „ where a door shuts, there is always a window that opens“. Good things will come to you, you will see. Often it‘s only later, that one realizes, what opportunities turned up because of certain changes, which are definetly sad and painful at the timethey happen. Stay positive!

[@rick-gy3lm]

I've been a marriage and family therapist for over 30 years. Believe me when I say that outside of your immediate family, you don't owe anyone else an explanation or justification for decisions made in your personal life. Sharing too much just opens the door for judgment and criticism from those who don't have a clue. Be true to yourself, talk to God often, and don't allow the noise to drown out your spirit.

[@fetishisticrose]

Well stated. Thank u 4 sharing. I hope she sees your thoughts on this.

[@barbarakelly1916]

"Influencers" and others in the public media walk a fine line in terms of giving personal information. The desire of the content creator to be "relatable" combines with the interest of some viewers/listeners for personal details. When too much personal information is given, and especially when the information involves family members, the unintended consequences can be very painful. Often, young and innocent people are affected. As a public relations professional, I have seen the result of poor boundary choices and (worst) TMI, "letting it all hang out in public". No healthy purpose is served, in these situations.

My oldest daughter, 31, passed away in November 2019. By the grace of God, I discovered your KZbin channel at some point during lockdown. I live in a remote, isolated area on Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula, Michigan, so I'd never heard of you before. And because I live in such a remote area, where winter lasts 6-7 months, there are no resources, such as grief groups or gyms. Winter is a very long, dark, lonely time under the best of circumstances. I just want you to know you have played an integral role in my recovery. You've reminded me to not abandon self-care. You've inspired me with your class and grace. You've helped me not turn to the bottle to deal with my pain. We're the same age, so you've helped me navigate menopause coming at a time when I was already struggling. You've allowed me to pretend we're friends and I didn't have to feel so alone. I admire your beauty, inside and out. It's almost 27 months since my daughter left, and I can honestly say I'm doing well. Losing a child is our worst nightmare as mothers. I couldn't have made it without my Lord, and He used you as an instrument in my healing. Thank you. This is yet another season in our lives as women and you'll come through it just fine, too. God bless.

[@elizabethlawrence1532]

Dominique, in November 2018 my husband passed away. I found myself alone in my home, starting anew. During that time I discovered the content of KZbin, and of YOU. My life changed. You became my friend. Almost every night after dinner I would look at not only your current release videos, but I think I watched all the previous videos ever released. You changed my life. You encouragement me to get my life together so that I could successfully reenter the world after a 34 year marriage, with most of those years as caregiver to a disabled husband. I'm so happy to share with you that I now have lost over 60 lbs,, get compliments on my hair style and makeup AND I have the most loving man in my life. Most of this joy I attribute to YOU! We need you! xoxoxo

[@anitahumphries7745]

My husband died suddenly in December 2021. My 31 year old son died suddenly on February 2nd. As I heard you talk about life going on and getting criticized for smiling or talking about something happy it occurs to me that the pain and judgment is similar. The pain of losing my husband was so bad. But losing my son is just a horrific nightmare that I can’t wake up from. I can’t control what happened. But I can control washing my face and brushing my teeth and putting on makeup. Wanting to look as good for my son as possible, I went back to a video of yours from years ago … the KVD Shade and Light and used it as a reference for putting on my eye shadow. I didn’t follow it exactly, but I want you to know that your videos, this one and countless others, provide help and even comfort to hundreds of thousands women. I am one of them. I understand why you felt the need to post this video, but I also hope that you never put out this type of video again. You don’t owe anyone an apology or an explanation. You said it best … if they don’t like you they can unfollow you. If they don’t, I hope you will unfollow them. The people who post such things are not worth your time or space in your head. And I know that those people are just a teeny, tiny, minuscule number of your followers. I miss my son and my husband every minute of every day. I have discovered what it is like to have a panic attack. Whether you are doing a video or tutorial on blowing out hair, makeup, skin care, whatever … the kindness that you exude is a comfort. And that far outweighs the morons who post insults. When we smile or take care of ourselves, we are not diminishing our pain. We may live in pain, but we don’t have to put it on display for the world.

Dominique, I once was very near you in a hallway at a doctors office. We were not formally introduced but I was so impressed with you for a very important reason. You gave eye contact and a smile to everyone around you. A gentleman held the door for you and your baby son in a stroller. You looked him in the eyes, smiled and said thank you. You looked at me too with a smile. I was struck by how polite and genuinely nice you are to everyone, no matter how we’re dressed or have makeup on, etc. I wish everyone would treat you that way. I don’t know why anyone would want to be so unkind. I wish you all the best.

One thing I have learned, in my 68 years Dominique, is that in times like this, when one feels at their most most vulnerable, you need to give yourself time to just be you.....give your emotions room to run their course. To me true strength is acknowledging when it's your turn to need support and guidance. Only then can you take that deep breath and put the other foot forward and continue your journey. Focus on the love and support of your physical family and friends and that from those of us who can only be there for you virtually. Just know that we love you no matter what - even on a bad hair day !!😘Christine

Life is a journey and no one has the right to tell you and others how to look and feel especially when going through difficult challenges. The fact you strive to be the best you can be for yourself, for your son and to your subscribers in the midst of things is truly inspirational. May the Lord give you strength and peace. Much love and respect. ❣️🙏🏻❣️

After watching this video, it is abundantly clear that even at your lowest moments, your grace and class still remain. My grandmother always said, that we can bear the dark clouds in order to grow. For they produce rain and cleanse us. I have no idea where she found that inspiration, but I know I kept it close to my heart during all of my life’s trials.

[@megantegel5706]

My darling Dominique, we have a ‘rule’ when it comes to our friends and love ones; when they are going through ‘stuff’ whatever that stuff is, that THEY control the conversation!! Full stop. Our job is love and support you, if you want to talk, we talk, if not then we don’t. We are praying for you and support you in what ever way YOU need. Love to you and your family.

[@raraavis7782]

Couldn't have said it better. When someone is going through stuff, it's your job as a friend to support them however *they* need it. And that includes giving them space or curbing your curiosity, if that's what they want.

Maybe I am selfish, but I love your transparency on this channel whether it is a lot or a little. It is so beautiful. Marraige is complicated, life is pure pain sometimes. There are things that you talk about that really help women and for women that do not have a positive female influence, you are it! I believe you have a gift in this work and you share that gift with the world. We need you! Please ignore the negative and hate. I watch , but I don't comment much because I am not brave, but lately I am so exhausted of the hatered and misery in people willing to go slap another. Love is truly from God and the gift in you is being attacked. Stand strong and stay steady, you will navigate your way through this!

[@bonstermonster5260]

I can see the pain in your eyes. I too was divorced after a 33 year marriage. I was literally sick with the pain, stress and neck pain that was miserable. You always question yourself if you made the right choice. Take it day by day and it will get easier. We're all with you in this Dominique. XO

I commend you for how you hold yourself up and keep moving forward with such grace. Despite what you may be going through, you still fill our need each week to see you put that smile on and give us what we are looking for. And I believe we all watch you for different reasons…makeup, hair, clothing, skin care, exercise, self care etc etc etc. Please don’t let the negativity affect you!

Dominique, this is the first time I’ve written. You’ve given us all so much. I’ve been widowed twice and at mid nite when I can’t sleep I love to look at your posts. Your love for all of us, your happiness with Nick and your family, your beautiful home and your happy retirement - all lightened my spirits, especially over these terrible two years of isolation. Now you are suffering- and I can’t imagine anyone so cruel as to attack you now. Clearly, you gave your marriage your all. Maybe there are people out there who couldn’t stand seeing you be happy. People who were waiting for the shoe to drop. But you have been there for us- for me- and I am there for you. It’s OK (and very brave) to be vulnerable. And to share your vulnerability with us. It’s a form of the self-care you’ve taught us. This post was so raw but so eloquent. As we say in Judaism, “May you go from strength to strength”. You are truly a Woman of Valor. Please never doubt that.🌹💕

Keep posting your amazing videos - you have a positive impact on so many lives.

My life appeared to be perfect, but behind the camera I was living in fear because I had a stalker threatening my life. He wound up to be my husband who was diagnosed with schizophrenia. The hardest thing about being a public figure is also having to deal with personal pain in the public arena. It took me 10 years to revisit it by writing my memoir.

I wish I knew you so I could share the insight that I gained. I’ve learned so much about myself and I think those things happened Because I needed to know myself better so I could live more authentically. I am happier now than I’ve ever been but when I was going through it, It was frightening and painful and I can see that in your eyes. I know you are going to come out the other side stronger, happier, and you’re going to discover why this needed to happen. One day in the not too distant future you’re going to look back and consider yourself so blessed for the lesson. Remember, God knows exactly what he’s doing and he loves you.

[@joyceneergaard4152]

You go girl! I lost my husband to Covid a year ago and there are those who thought I was too "happy". I have gone on in my life-- I owe that to my clients and family. People don't always see the tears behind the smiles or understand that you can have joy in spite of pain. It is a mystery and fruit of the Holy Spirit. Thanks for sharing your life with us. It has been a blessing to me. Looking forward to your book.

Happy are those who mourn for they have the favour of God.

So sorry for your loss 🙏🏼

I’m so sorry for your loss. 💔 You’re right, you CAN have joy in spite of pain. Blessings to you!

I lost my uncle last year due to covid. He was a wonderful man of God, in his early 80's, but totally healthy before he caught it. We will really miss him, but we know that he has a new heart and a new set of lungs in heaven. I'm sorry for your loss. May the good Lord comfort you and bring you His joy and peace every day.

God bless you, Joyce, and comfort you as you grieve for your husband. So true that you can have both joy and pain in the aftermath. Being in the same "school" as you are, I learn more ever day that our calling may be different now, but still beautiful if we have the courage to forge ahead.

I lost my son, who was special needs, in May of this year. My world has completely changed. Listening to you describe the emotional rollercoaster one feels when losing a loved one is exactly how I feel and that it's ok. Although we grieve, it's ok to laugh. It's okay to feel angry. It's okay to feel some happiness, especially when thinking of them puts a smile on your face. Thank u for sharing.😊

I remember seeing a woman driving down the road smiling and saying to myself, “I hope someday to smile again”. You will be happy again and in the meantime, one foot in front of the other! I’ve been there twice, been a single mom, moved away, started a new career and rarely answered any personal questions. You rock for me!

Dominique, I can see the pain in your eyes, breaks my heart. You have been such an inspiration on this platform, touched so many lives, given so much of yourself! You don’t owe anyone an explanation, you have endured so many challenges & life changes the last few years. From the devastation of hurricane Harvey, to retiring and now another major life change. Sending you wishes for strength, serenity and peace❤️❤️❤️

[@not-even-german4892]

Yes.

Dominique, I went through this three years ago after 20 years of marriage. I was 53 and I was blindsided, not expecting to face the rest of my life alone. Then my company got sold and I was facing unemployment on top of it all. I know the struggle you are going through and the strength it takes to keep your chin up and proceed as if everything is still normal when it certainly is not. You have been such an inspiration to me as I have rebuilt my life these last three years and for that, I sincerely thank you. I am in a much better, happier and serene place than I have ever been in my entire life. My heart breaks for you that you now have to go through this yourself because you are in mourning; the end of a marriage is like a death no matter what the cause. My prayer for you is that all of that strength and encouragement you have projected out into the world comes back a thousand fold as blessings for you. Please keep doing you; you don't owe anything to the haters.

I like both of you have been through the same at 57 after 7 seperated and finally divorced last year it all took it toll.. You will always get people thinking they know more about your marriage or what you should or shouldn't do or have done.. I say it is a bereavement but I also felt lonely I my marriage and was always loyal but sometimes you have to realise God gave YOU your life to live the best way you can.. Sometimes he shows you but we may not have been open to or realising it.. Gut feelings about how life should be and is, is a womens gift from God.. To both if you I say, this will pass and may take a while, hold your head high and move forward life is for living while we are given it.. Keep smiling Pretty ladies.. xx

[@bobsc138]

I love what you said about the strength and encouragement Dominique put out there coming back as blessings to her. Beautiful. I second you on that! 🤞

[@ireneleavell7408]

Dominique, as Denzel Washington has said, "some people will never like you because your spirit irritates their demons." You are beautiful inside and out! Many of us here on this platform have walked the steps you are now walking. I am wishing you strength through it all. As you always say, "Be bold and be blessed"!!!!

[@barbarasommerville5617]

Dominique, I was sitting here in the dark tonight in England, when I opened my phone to KZbin and there was your video.. Imagine my surprise to watch and hear what you said because I am about to embark on the same journey - in fact, tonight I saw a lawyer for the first time, just to see what to do. The practicalities of what I'm about to face are overwhelming, and like you, I have a full time, busy, demanding job. I also have 3 young children, so it's so very hard. Just to hear you say what you did out loud and to see the raw emotion from you gave me a feeling of solidarity that I just can't describe. It's such a scary thought, even though like you, I'm a strong independent woman and have also always worked since I was 14. All I can say is good luck to you and stay strong. I won't say it'll all be fine, but I'm also of the belief that everything happens for a reason. God bless you.

Hang in there Barbara. It’s sucks - you have to walk through it- there’s no way around it.
