[@yokimawhittaker5193]

Sometimes your grief is uncomfortable to those that hasn't experienced your loss. They can't comprehend what it feels like to lose a child when they haven't. So I just rather stay in my solitude and my own coping mechanism. Nobody really cares any way when they haven't experienced such a loss as I have.

[@adriennetowell5186]

My husband died 5 weeks ago. I was with him when he died, after spending 6 weeks in hospital, having every test imaginable and not having found the cause of his illness. He was no longer able to move or communicate; and was being fed by a tube. I wish that I could say that the day of his death was a peaceful one; but it wasn't; and I'm left with such guilt that I didn't bring him home. We'd always promised each other that should we become ill, we'd look after each other at home; but by the time I asked, I was told that he was too ill to be moved. I've been through a period of total denial, still believing he will return home, even though I know he's dead. I can't look at pictures of him, when he was well; because I don't understand his death. I have pictures taken over the last 2 weeks of him being in hospital, where he's a physically different person; and I understand his passing. Since my denial stage, I've just been constantly watching things online. Stupid, sensless things, as a distraction to cope with the reality, but I feel numb and empty inside. I know I'm avoiding the pain that I will feel. I spend most of my time in my bedroom. that's my safe space. Anything else reminds me of my beautiful husband. We did everything together and had no friends outside of the marriage, being happy with just each other. We weren't anti-social, we just loved being with each other and couldn't do enough for each other. I've watched a few of your videos and they've really had an impact on me, particularly the one about thinking that you're going mad; and how grief effects the workings of your brain. That made so much sense to me. I'm going to watch all of your others. I really can relate to what you're saying Thank you so, so much. xx

[@cathypreaster1210]

I really feel your sadness. I lost my sweet dear husband of 39 years to Covid-19. We were the best of friends from ages 12 & 15. We truly loved each other’s company! I concur with EVERYTHING you have described. May you have a peaceful day. 💞

Your story sounds uncannily like mine. It’s weird just how similar. I understand as I’m going through it now . Reading your comment has helped me. Glad you shared this. Hope you are doing well today.

My beloved mother died unexpectedly on October 6 2022 and I'm heartbroken 😭💔. I'm praying to God for strength, healing, and resignation soon 🙏🏻

[@maggiecudic2744]

This hit the mark for me, it’s been three full years, I’m going into my fourth year of losing my husband and my son within two months of each other. And within a year before that, I lost my sister-in-law, my father and my mother-in-law. My mother died three years before that onslaught. Thank you

[@cuddlemuff6632]

I can’t imagine what you’ve been through, even though I’ve experienced much loss. I wish you peace.

I attended Grief Share 13 week program and had some counseling sessions as well after the death of my Brother Ronny on 12.22.22. These things helped. Don't try to do it alone. I take early morning walks every morning and let myself cry. But grief is very lonely . Others just don't get it. God Bless You through this. experience. He has me in inumerable ways and I Thank Him for that.

My wife passed 2 months ago. I kept feeling, thinking and even saying outloud; I don't know who I am anymore. Knowing that grief changes all relationships, even the one you have with oyourself is important.

[@petradixon1899]

I lost my 17 year old son to brain cancer January 11 and my friend passed a week later from Covid. This channel is helping me make it through the holidays

[@pigletsbank437]

I lost my husband (age 47) a couple of moths ago unexpected . I find I need even more time on my own, to to be me. No social demand, no keeping the conversation going, no invitations in large groups. Small numbers, "save" people not to much at I time. i need time to recover from Al the surroundings, conversation, emotions and physicall exhaustment. But people keep shouting" you have to go out, don't stay at home". I do talk, do go out for activity or coffee alone or with a friend but in a gentle pase. I have a hartcondition you see my body has limits Iam not used to ask for help, and I am taking gentle steps in asking more. Thank you for your lessons❤️

[@maggiegregg5533]

It is real! Nothing is the same! Nothing will ever be the same after the loss of a spouse, if you REALLY liked him! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lv5980]

you don't have to have really liked them! my husband of over 40 years was a VERY difficult person to get along with - and yet it feels as if it will be very difficult to move on without him! so confusing and painful

[@Toinette2883]

I thought it was difficult losing my parents. My dad when I was 7 and my mom when I was already married with children. Nothing could have prepared me for the loss of my husband a year ago in May. I could not imagine how deeply and profoundly this would change me and yes without a doubt I am not the same person. Like you said this grief is different for every person as they had a different relationship with him. Some don’t understand why it’s been a year and I still have some very bad days. I have learned to hide my feelings with some people because of that and sometimes I feel so invisible. It’s been a long hard road and I still have a long way to go. Thank you for all your wisdom and kind words it help’s to know I am not the only one going through this💗

[@lauramiller6294]

My husband of 50 years died on the 28th of June. My heart is broken and so am I. I don't know if I will come out alive on the other side..His service is onthe 28th of July and I am really dreading it. I also dislike public crying so I feel under enormous p=ensure to hold it together. I just feel such overwhelming sadness most of the time.

[@keithkirkpatrick2321]

Thank you Jo for your kind and insightful words. My beautiful and beloved wife died a year and a half ago. The pain does not go away, but I find that my relationship to the pain can evolve. The comment that "you can just feel the pain, or feel the pain and gain some wisdom from it" was helpful. One simple lesson that I've learned is that feeling grief may hurt, sometimes deeply, but it needs to be felt. Thank you again.

[@jennifershort3104]

I spent the first three months of my mom's grief alone. I kept myself busy with craft projects. I hardly slept and when I did it wasn't restful. I only went out for necessities and came back immediately much like when I was actively caregiving. When I finally came up for air I started looking for information about grief. That's when I found you, Jo McRogers. Your videos have been very helpful. Thank you.

[@marceapardus6526]

My husband of 40 yrs just died on June 2nd…Your tender-hearted sharing really helps comfort me…your lessons resonate with me so deeply & now I realize I need a grief therapist…I am considering working with you online…I feel very alone, our adult daughter lives out of state with her own family & my son is Mia due to his ever-changing work schedule…folks in my life just avoid me because they don’t know what to say or do even though I try to communicate my needs…blessings as we journey on…✨🦋✨

[@margrobinson8534]

I feel the same way after our adult daughter passed this mother's day...family avoid me 😥 or even the topic of my daughter...it hurts xo

[@LBart218]

I am sorry for your loss, Marcea. ♥

[@LBart218]

@@margrobinson8534 I'm so sorry, Marg. I understand the part about people not talking about your departed loved one. I think they are afraid bringing the person up will hurt but many of us know the avoidance of talking about the person hurts so much more. They lived, they existed, we loved them, and we want to talk about them. Blessings to you. ♥

I lost my adult son five months ago and am having a awful time, just when I thinkI feel a little better I dive in to a tail spin which is where I am now. The depression and anxiety keep me paralyzed.

[@louisestanley4933]

I can truly relate to what you're saying I'm like that now, I lost my adult son 2.5 years ago and I still paralyzed, I need to get back to work but I just can't do it

[@BUBBLESPOGO]

I lost my husband 5 months ago to sudden death. The suffering is agonizing, I know. It has totally changed me. I have completely retired from society and don't have any desire or motivation. It's all gone.i never ever thought i would be like this. I find this world greedy, hateful. With no compassion. I am sure there are good people out there, but on the whole it's full of rotten people who only care about themselves.

[@traceysmith2008]

I understand and can understand and or relate to all of your comments. My adult daughter died 3 months ago on Mother’s Day.

[@BUBBLESPOGO]

I am so very sorry. I lost my husband around the same time. Grief is a journey we have no choice but to travel the time line until, if ever, we come to terms with our suffering and loss. Jesus said there is going to be a resurrection. John 5:28-29. So there is hope for our dead loved ones in the near future. I know this does not take away our pain but it is something positive to keep with us. May God be with you to comfort and console you dear Gloria.

[@BUBBLESPOGO]

I am so deeply sorry for your suffering. May God console you in your grief journey.@@traceysmith2008

[@carolhovingh6877]

My grief of my husband of 50 yrs will be different the grief my children have for their dad. They cannot know my grief. This helps me and I know I need more time . I sure this will change me, but my children don't know this. It will be difficult

[@grieftherapist]

Yes Carol you are right in protecting your right to Grieve. 🙏

[@lynndrury3720]

My grief is not your grief that is such a true sentiment. I have never been an angry person but since I lost my beloved husband on Boxing Day 2021 when I am shopping or having a little walk seeing couples together holding hands having a laugh really gets to me. I feel like shouting out (but I don't) that should be me and my beloved. Is this wrong

[@grieftherapist]

No this is not wrong.. it is Grief .... Hard not to be envious/ jealous of others experiences when ours is one of loss.

[@craftygirl17]

I feel I’m alone in my grief, I totally get what your saying, it’s been six and a half years since my mom passed, and now selling her townhouse man is this hard, I feel like I’m losing another part of her, and grieving more. It feels like nothing exist of her yet it was very hard going to her house checking up on it, making sure no break ins ect. I always felt down the next day after checking on it. And just couldn’t go through all her things I did get the courage to bring some things home but very hard to look at them, it brings tears and fear, I’m never going to see her or talk to her again so much pain. But see her house getting repainted and new carpet getting it ready to sell is unbearable at times. And feeling very alone, my brothers don’t seem to get where I’m coming from, my husband is grieving and prepping for his brothers service so he’s got his own stuff going on. It’s been rough, lots of stress, I cry alone. I need hugs and I hug my husband lots because he’s having a real tough time. Lots both brothers within 4 years. My heart is torn in so many directions.

Hello Karen How are you doing today?

[@margaretward7682]

My mom passed away in 2019 and I turned inward a lot, for various reasons. One being that I am a highly sensitive person. I tried to communicate with my husband on several occasions to talk to me, just ask me how I'm doing, that I needed that. He wasn't doing what I needed, and I felt resentful that I was the one grieving and that I shouldn't have to keep asking him for support. I was feeling very unseen. I appreciate that word you used, unseen, that is exactly how I felt but didn't have a word for it. There were many people that just never spoke to me about it. it was if the funeral was over and that was it. I felt very alone. I still have bad feelings today around that time. Thank you for your video.

[@user-fi9df2wy8e]

Its so difficult doing ur grieving when uv never learnt to express ur feelins is ok makes you wont to run r fight any pain coming up which left me with prolonged anxiety and fear of my pain

[@laurahigginsart]

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I remember after Kerry died, being at the grocery store check-out and wanting to yell out that my sister just died. So much seemed trivial and pointless and it felt like the world should come to a halt, pay attention and homage to that grief and that loss. And my family experienced grief all very differently. Mom and I were similar but that was also hard - it was just too much grief in the room when we were both deep in it. She was the one person who seemed able to express outwardly the profound depth of our loss (my brother and Dad did not talk about it or show it) so sometimes she was the only one who seemed to "get it" and at other times, most of the time, it was just too painful to share that loss. I feel badly about that, but I guess I hadn't learned any other way to deal with it yet. Thanks Jo!

[@grieftherapist]

It is true Laura that there is a tug of war between "getting it" and "too painful to to share" And yet the death of Kerry impacted all. So confusing for the Grievers. 😑

[@josieg1111]

My grief.. I lost my partner of 10 years, 30 days ago today to cancer along with loosing him he left me in a bad financial state. I’m struggling with so much, I get these awful panic attacks, crying spells, and I get angry at him, and sad, he left a big mess financially. I haven’t been able to breathe since his diagnosis 8 months ago and I took care of him till the very end he told me I be ok. I’m tormented by it all!

[@mariederice1260]

I thought after my dad & mom died, I could handle anything. Wrong! My brother in law whom is like a brother/father to me is suffering from Parkinson's and it's brought me to my knees with grief & what's going to happen when he's gone. He's been such a supportive person in my life! It.has brought my anxiety and depression back. I still have trouble keeping it together. I want to be supportive, but when I go to visit; I can only stay so long. When I get in my car I cry all the way to my house. It makes me feel awful that I can't stay longer to help my sister. It brings back memories of my parents. Also, I've lost 5 dear friends! 😢 I have a hard time going to the wake, funeral or celebration of life. Then the guilt sets in about not going!😢

[@TheForourkids]

Thank u

[@69eddieD]

Don't do grief alone? What if you don't know anybody that will validate your grief? It's almost a year to the day and I can hardly go out. I'll be at the store and totally break down crying. I have to get through this. I can't spend the rest of my life paralyzed like this. There's no way I could even work in this condition.

[@sueprice4082]

I saw my Dad and then my Mum die and grieved for them both and miss them every day. However, I have recently lost my husband of 47 years. This is totally different-my constant companion is not here and the empty feeling is like no other I have ever had. Sue UK

Thank you for your help. My husband of 50 years died five months ago after a very intense, traumatic four month hospitalization in one of the best hospitals in Boston. He suffered terribly both physically and mentally. I am getting grief counseling from a wonderful therapist, but I want you to know that you are helping me also.

[@thomsonsmith95]

Hello Catherine How are you doing today?

[@kennethwilson8029]

Thank you for sharing your experiences. Grief does affect us all differently, including brothers who have lost the same parents. Brothers that have moved away, far from parents have a different experience of grief to the one who stayed nearby. When you leave the orbit of parents, there is already a degree of grief in the separation, even though it could be 10 or 20 years before the passing. With the son who is left behind, the grief can start as they witness the parents are ageing and their health failing. The one living with the parents remembers and grieves for them and remembers as they were at their passing. The sons far away remember their parents as they last saw them. In a way, they have already moved on, but there is a different acute pain there in knowing they can no longer visit. Covid stopped families uniting and sharing grief. We must be very careful in recognizing the different experiences and processing of grief, even in the same family. On a different note, positive memories of happy times with parents are healing, but for me, slowly does it.

[@revn9203]

I so resonate with this. I was caregiver for both my parents and responsible for their care and wellbeing. I made so many mistakes and worse still there were so many medical errors that occurred. I saw their pain and suffering for many years before they passed. I am left with profound grief as well as unbearable guilt. I am in deep despair. Both my brothers who left home long ago with their families and were hardly present in our our parent’s care and suffering seem far removed from this grief. They cannot understand my sadness and grieving. They dismiss me as crazy and have largely left me alone.

[@chummalee7244]

Got hold of this helpline today October 10, 2023, and I resonate with it after losing my pet puppy Micho 5 days ago. You're right, grief is so profound that only you can fathom the impact it has on us as a person in mind, body, and spirit. It devastated me and as you said it's right to grieve your own way, and I decided to cry my heart out until there were no more tears to dry. Till now, I'm still crying when I miss my Micho. I dunno how long I would be hurting, at least I feel that my grief is valid and I'll be able to process this in God's own time. Thank you and God bless...😇🙏

[@shannonodell6207]

Hello Jo, thank you for these wise video chats about grief. My husband of 40 years died suddenly at home 2 years ago. The first responders were three male policemen and paramedics. They were all very matter of fact and just wanted info for their reports. I recall now how uncaring it felt. Luckily my adult daughter lives with us and helped to try to resuscitate to no avail while stood nearly frozen. We still dont know the true cause. There was no need for an autopsy according to coroner I heard only through the one policeman who did all the talking. I just want to share that the feelings of disbelief go on for a very long time and the anger is welling up in weird ways more recently. No one wants to listen especially now that family and friends think these negative feelings and sadness “should be” nearly gone if I am “a normal well adjusted woman.” I’m grieving for the loss of our planned life as new retirees and wanted my life partner to be with me. I have retired because new widowhood is a full time activity. Now I’m wanting to find my purpose. So glad your videos appeared in my KZbin suggestions. Thank you.

[@69eddieD]

It's really rude for people to tell you how you should feel. People can't understand all the stuff you feel with grief unless they've been there, and maybe even not then. Unless you know what you're talking about it's best sometimes to just say "I'm sorry" and mean it. My recent revelation from grief is that I never worked through grief from decades ago. Every time I'm faced with grieving a new loss (the older you get the more it happens) I'm facing unresolved emotions from 35 or 40 years ago. I just can't avoid it and I'm working through it as best I can. I'm succeeding and I hope you do too. The good news is that as you work through it (and it's tough) you free yourself up to be emotionally available to new friends. I need new friends and I'm at a point where I don't feel like I'm being unloyal to me beloved deceased friends. In fact people are now attracted to me and even a year ago this wasn't the case. You have to do this or else you will wither. I wish you the best of success. It's hard work so do what you can and one day you'll get where you need to be.

[@hildebeerens4332]

I love your videos and I am glad to have found them. Cool that you dare to disagree around there being no wrong way to doing grief.

[@lealugerlynch802]

I lost the love of my life Sept 2022. My heart is broken. Asking for help is very hard. I’m definitely depressed and in a very dark place. Trying to figure out how to be ok. That’s my big problem. I know my grief will never go away but how do I survive? I’ve joined a grief support group and although it is helping the message I’m getting from most is get on with your life. Your loved one would not want you to be this way. That the way I am is not the way I should be. 💔

[@stroganoff2917]

Hi thank you for your help. I am very nervous every moment and guts feeling fear.

[@Ava-oc1dg]

I thought I felt bad because the closest friends are 1000 miles away. Other then a few neighbors who stopped by seems like no one cares not her friends or mine. People who ate my mothers food sat at her table and enjoyed everything she offered.Called her mom. But in the end she was my mother I took care of her for years and right to the end. I guess it’s not what you say but what you do.

[@4christ-u4h]

My husband died 6 months ago. Here is where I am in my grief. LONELY. After all the "loudness " of the death settled down.... what I mean by that is, when the phone calls, texts, food, just friends checking on you stops, the loneliness sets in. Getting connected to a grief group will really help. AND yes.... people will say stupid things, I just say.... when someone is grieving, just being there to listen is what we need. You don't have to try to say the right thing. Just listen, keep checking on us. Those 2 simple things are a huge help.

[@portmead21]

Yeah some just stop asking if your ok. I lost my mam 2 year this July. I'm lucky enough to have a old school friend who asks. But even family members who are mostly ok can do the wrong thing sometimes. How are you doing now? I really hope you have now got someone you can talk with have a little cry with. And understands even just a little bit. Hope your ok.

[@portmead21]

That's a nice idea. Check in now and then. I'm having problems with my niece putting photos on Facebook of my mam and not even asking if any of you mined. Some people have no idea. Don't know if it's me being over sensitive. Hope you have been feeling a bit better the last couple of days.

[@4christ-u4h]

@portmead21 You are not being over sensitive. I believe family and friends should absolutely keep it off of social media unless given permission. I remember saying to my family and friends, "No Facebook/Twitter, etc. Is allowed during this time until further notice. It's hard enough dealing with mail that has my husband's name on it, and /or people asking, "How's your husband doing?" Ugh.... I still get that!!! My problem is when people say "he's in a better place " or "time will heal" , and "you need to move on". NO!!! I KNOW my husband is in a better place, but I'm not!! And NO!!! Time does not heal!!! It may get easier, but my heart is forever broken. And NO!! I will not move on. I will do everything I can to move FORWARD. MY husband's death will ALWAYS be with me. A part of me died when he died, and that will never change. Be patient with yourself. It's hard.... I'm in the process of trying to do the same.

[@portmead21]

Yes your right even family should ask permission. She was told when my mam died not to put anything on. That must be really hard when people ask you in the street about your husband and that's not being nasty because they don't know but it still will cuts like a knife. Sometimes it's nice to have someone that will just listen and not give advice because everyone's grief is different. I think it changes you.

[@pamwatkins4855]

I am unable to Captivate my soul my loss always be your gain because I'm taught to keep away from the family while the family grows because I got everything I needed when I was a child and that's all I needed and it would always last me for everything and I needed and I for I don't see the need for my grief and I'm not quite sure where whatever come from thing that I was just think that my heavenly father is the father that went to be with God the father but when I remember him I want to remember him like the happiness that he always gave me and that happiness is what sustains me and I like to think about that that way so that I can know that realize that he really was father to me that I needed always and I'll never lose them because you'll always be with me in Jesus name amen he's the son of God Jesus

If it were you that had died today, can you say you are 100% sure you would not go to hell? If your answer is based on anything other than because of the blood sacrifice of Jesus who died on the cross in your place, then you are not going to heaven. If you want to be saved from hell, you must be saved God's way and no other. First, realize God loves you. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The Bible teaches that regardless of your background, age, race, or any other factor, God loves you and desires a genuine, personal relationship with you. Second, realize everyone is a sinner. The Bible says in Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." No one is perfect. We have all broken God's commandments. This is called sin, and it separates us from God. Third, realize sin has a price that must be paid. Romans 6:23 tells us, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." The "wage" or payment for our sin is death, which according to the Bible is eternal separation from God in a place called Hell. Fourth, realize Jesus Christ died to pay the price for your sin. Romans 5:8 says, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." If we choose to accept Christ, we do not have to pay the price of death and Hell for our sins because Jesus paid for our sins when He died on the Cross and rose again three days later! Finally, pray and ask Jesus Christ to be your Saviour, and claim His promise of eternal life. In Romans 10:13 the Bible says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." That is a promise directly from God that if you will pray to Him, confess that you are a sinner, ask Him to forgive your sins, and accept Him as your Saviour, He promises to save you and give you the free gift of eternal life. Please don't put this decision off my friend. God does not promise us another day on this Earth.

Jo. Love your talks, but please cut out the background tinkly electronic sounds. SO distracting! It’s not in the background and adds nothing to your messages. Thank you for making these videos. 🙂
