New widow with teenage son gets a tender surprise from a Secret Santa

[@loveforeignaccents]

Her pain and mourning are very palpable. Thank you for helping her, Secret Santa!

[@itshollywoodhindi]

I'm from India I come from a Christian family, i love secret santa videos, i don't know much about western culture but i just want to know about why funeral and head stone are that much expensive in the West

[@loveforeignaccents]

@@itshollywoodhindi Cuz they like to rake you over the coals over here in your time of mourning.

[@ms.cellaneous7458]

Blessings and love to Elsie and Matthew. Losing someone is tough at any time but especially near the holidays. I know. I lost my son, my only child, several years ago in December just before Christmas. Thank you for your kindness and generosity, Secret Santa. Elsie's financial burden has been lessened thanks to you. Thank you Nate and helper for the delivery and the video. Merry Christmas to everyone. 🙏❤🎄🎅

[@jackiep691]

So very sorry for your loss , I can’t imagine the pain you have suffered losing your only child . I hope time has eased the pain in some way and I sincerely wish you peace . Bless you ❤

[@ms.cellaneous7458]

Thank you. Yes, time does ease the initial pain but it never goes away. I try to live life for him as I know he would never want me dwell in sadness. He always lived each moment to the fullest so that's what I do now. Again, thank you. Merry Christmas.

[@jackiep691]

@@ms.cellaneous7458 that’s the perfect way to honour his memory and I’m sure he’s with you every step of the way , take care with love all the way from the uk 😘

[@annsowers4591]

I am very sorry you lost your world when your son passed. I lost my oldest November 2012, I am still devastated. His birthday is 12/21. I can't bring myself to do things I ised to. God Bless you, I pray you make it to January without to many tears.

Oh, how lovely! That will ease some pain for her!

[@fardadsayyarpour3581]

The last thing someone wants to dwell on when someone departs are funeral costs and how to pay for them. A very thoughtful gift from Secret Santa. Keep on spreading kindness. Regards

[@Psychiatricnerd]

I love how she warmly welcomes him in. Not even a second thought . I want to be more like that. What a sweet woman.

[@yvonnemurray5537]

I love that Nate goes in for the HUG! Having that human contact is SO important! Great thoughtful gifts.

[@grandma27or8]

Personally I think Elsie is still in shock. Can you imagine losing a young , father and husband. It’s a shame how the world keeps going round and round when your heart is broken. Blessings to Elsie.

[@billwilson5341]

*"It’s a shame how the world keeps going round and round when your heart is broken."* I agree. I've often thought that the world should stop for at least a few seconds when someone passes. If that occurred though, the world would stop. Life does go on. It's crazy.

Oh goodness! She had me crying before she opened the door. ❤❤

[@westsparks6844]

Before I watch the new daily secret Santa video, I promise myself not to cry. Never ends up that way. But I think of them as tears of joy, not sadness.

[@billwilson5341]

The hug(s) at the end is the icing on the cake.

[@debraperdue9093]

Blessings to Elsie and Matthew. May Gods grace comfort them. Thank you Secret Santa,Nate and team.

[@mobetta3456]

It hasn't even been a month. She's hurting. I remember what it feels like because my mom passed away 2 weeks before Christmas, so it didn't seem like Christmas that year. Do something small and peaceful. I love pretty lights. Since mom passed away I usually have simple decorations for Christmas, a few lights and soft music. God bless you.

[@Courtjowhite]

She said “come on in” you can tell she is that kind of person♥️

It isn't lost on me, and I was just thinking about this recently, of the many people for whom this coming Xmas will be their first since the loss of a loved one or close family member. Not an easy time for many, and yet Nate, you and your team are instrumental in trying to alleviate some of their stresses and worries. Best wishes to the Secret Santa and the Secret Santa team. Onion chopping ninjas got me on this one.

Like another SS video earlier this season, the words "Too Soon" come to mind. But the problem is, the need is now. This is where Nate shines, I can't think of anybody who always knows the right thing to say or do. I've been watching SS since the beginning, somehow the man has never set a foot wrong.

[@cannavaras]

Its difficult isnt it. She needs the help but you cant help but think its too early for Nate to visit. Just 3 weeks :( So sad. Nate is brilliant though.

Secret Santa not only do you make me cry a river there are times like this one that you leave me speechless. The dear soul is hurting from so deep within her inner soul from loosing her husband being in debt for his funeral that put an extra weigh on her shoulders. Thank you secret Santa for helping to lift the weight of the world of her shoulders giving her some extra money to make ends meet at this time of year. She seems so frail so soft spoken. You are a blessing in disguise we love you for caring, sharing helping those in need. What a blessing you are you your wonderful helpers thank you.
