You are right about Brandon being emotionally intelligent and I bet that his attachment style is Secure. It’s hard not to make relationships about yourself and be able to be so compassionate. I am inspired by you Brandon!

I was 22 yrs old also. May 25, 1996 when me and my fiance, Sheldon got into a terrible car accident. I survived it and he passed. He just proposed to me May 18th. I worked at a bank also. All my friends in SC were getting married and having kids too. I understand how you feel. It wasn't easy. God's grace brought me through it all

My condolences. I'm sorry you went through that. God calls his angels home, when he's ready. He knows when from the time we are thought of, bc he makes a plan for us. I lost my daddy in 2015, and I'm still not the same. I just wanted to say, " I'm sorry and you're in my thoughts and prayers."

[@colormeatbirth]

Same thing happened to me I finally met a guy who treated me so good & vice versa, we got along together just like two peas n one pod. Talk about true love. He left one day to go take care of some business in Montana got into a train wreck and passed. I was so overwrought with grief for such a long time. Unfortunately christ has never brought me another man like my Robert, I miss him everyday of my life & would give just about anything if he was still here on earth with me. So Destene you're really blessed to have a sweet guy like Brandon 2 share your life with, some of us out here who've had real love in our life aren't so lucky or blessed 2 find it a second time around. STAY BLESSED N LOVE W/ ONE ANOTHER FOREVER💜👑💛💜👑💛💜👑💛💜👑💛💜👑💛💜👑💛

i know you mean well, but there is no "appropriate" amount of time to grieve. everyone is different and not everyone has the same social support or other factors in their life. many people can grieve for years and are given a hard time for it by the people around them. some people get over grief very quickly like I did, and that's okay too. there's no formula for grief.

[@jkar1747]

@@wge621 I will say that I will say is that I disagree with many ppl on the idea of having to fully heal before you marry...for some people it takes 10 years to heal from something. I feel like as long as your working on yourself, and your wounds don't damage the relationship it should be fine. It is beautiful to have someone come in your life when your in the final stages of healing. People say to heal completely before you marry but it also puts pressure on the person and makes them feel unworthy to marry. In a sense it's like telling someone to become perfect. It's beautiful to have a partner walk with you in the final stages of healing....I personally want to know that compassionate side of my future one, I want to know how he will treat me if he meets me while I'm still healing.....If I arrived whole that would be great but I want to discover that aspect of him and say for a fact that he didn't mind my wounds..... especially ones that were inflicted in me growing up in which I had no control

Abuse survivor here with severe PTSD. Your channel has been helping me see that healthy relationships are possible. Thank you for the advice of healing before getting into another relationship. I'm working on getting my life together & trusting God with the rest. It's scary, though, wondering if the PTSD will ever subside enough to not hurt my next boyfriend. But also, like you said, it's part of my story, something that changed me, & I need someone who'll respect my scars.

[@jennifermartinez7293]

So happy for you from one woman to another! I also expressed PTSD and can relate very briefly from that connection point. If it helps, I was able to overcome it by exposing myself to my triggers, working through them in therapy with CBT and once desensitizing myself to them, gradually creating new memories related to them. It’s a very difficult process so keep having compassion! I also have a fear of bringing the past into my next relationship. What has helped me here is having compassion, keeping your therapist around and making a plan in case you notice a ‘relapse’ to get back on track. I’m happy to share that when I started having ‘relapses’, my experience was that they weren’t as severe by even 75% and I was able to get back on track with the help of my therapist. Took me about 2 years to get to this point with lots of trial and error, but gradual improvement over time. Have faith and you got this! ❤️

I will say to anyone who has lost a loved one weather it may be a parent, child, spouse, partner, friend or fiance. Death is final and do call up on GOD and ask him to help you get thru this part of your life. It helped me go thru my mom's passing. I will say you will think about that person and cry in places you wouldn't think why is this happening. Just understand the grieving and loss of a person has it's on time for each person. But as time goes on just remember the Good time's you had with that person. Concertrating on the bad won't help you heal. Because we all have something that went wrong in relationships. Just be happy for the time you have shared with that other human being. Think of those things that made you laugh about the person that will really help you. Laughter is the best medicine to help you heal. Just learn to Love and laugh will help you thru the tough times. Good luck in your life and live your best life helping people that also helps with living in this world 🌎.

Awww that's so sad. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I'm going through that now. Ten years ago I found out I had lymphoma and it spread to my bones and broke four bones then it spread to my brain. I lived it went in remission. Last March it returned and my mate of ten years died so I've been in a dark place for a long time. I'm trying to come out of it but doors keep closing and I'm alone. It's been two years since he died. I've been in the place where I don't feel like bathing or washing dishes I just lay in the bed. My family come over and do things but I have to come out of this I know God will bring me back. I have strong faith. Thank you for sharing.

Hi I don’t know you at all and I haven’t gone through anything close to what you have went through, but you will get out of this. I would say don’t put pressure on yourself to hurry up and make it to the finish line of healing. Take things day by day, minutes by minute. Acknowledge what you feel no matter how sad or dark it may be. Write it down, find little things that brings you joy. They say it’s always beauty in the struggle. It may be hard now but it won’t be hard forever. Just know you are loved and worthy of happiness. Idk I just felt a need to say this. You got this ♥️

Omg I'm so glad that this came up on my timeline. My fiance was murdered 8 days after our 15 yr anniversary . He was my first love. My high school sweetheart. It's been a couple of years ago but I still can't move on. My heart still breaks everytime I wake up and realize I'm in a whole new place and he is not beside me. 💔. I don't want to ever love again. I'm emotionally detached from love. But seeing this maybe just maybe makes me think could there be another love that is meant for me.. I just can't picture myself open enough to love again. Idk.. Your husband is such a blessing and you are such a sweetheart. I wish you guys so many more years to love each other. May you guys be filled with so much love and light and peace for the rest of your lives. 🙏🏽💙🖤 Also we had twin boys and they were still born. I went into labor at 8 in a half months and they were born dead. My fiance was my rock and who I leaned on every day while mourning them . Ughhh this breaks my heart all over again. I don't like talking about it but hearing you just now made me want to share my story with you. My only comfort is knowing that he is with our twin baby boys waiting for me one day...

We had plans to celebrate and then marry in a few months! My dress is hanging in the closet 😢.My fiancé was telling me on Christmas it’s time to let that go and not to be afraid God was going to bless me immensely very soon! We shared you guys vids all the time he reminds me of him in how much he loves you. What a way to bring in the new year my heart is shattered . I’m trying to take each breath at a time and moment by moment. He was so excited I started on my art work again as we just got our first home and he picked this home because it has a studio for me downstairs now he’s Gone ! I’m in shock I don’t know if I will be able to live here anymore because of his death and feeling the essence in the home and considering finances. I’m pissed because we had so many blessings and now I’m not even sure especially since one of our dreams of marriage was happening very soon. I’m just trying to wake up from this nightmare . for so long my story was mourning, I lost my mother and baby than I met this wonderful gift of a human being and He’s gone. He ministered to me and so many people I realize I had to share my time with him and those he helped. He was my best friend I’ll never take this ring off . A mentor Artist has reached out to me offering time to spend together and to do some work. My hope Is that I can look back and understand why I feel so lost and my mind spinning .
