I Lost My Dad and Channel Update | VLOGmas Day 1

[@SimplyCherie]

Thank you for the many ways you support me and my channel 🩷🩷🩷

[@WillowandPaisley]

I’m so sorry for your loss. My heart was breaking for you listening to your story. Your dad is undoubtedly proud of the wonderful daughter you were. 💚

[@SimplyCherie]

Thank you thank you. Your comment made me cry. Thanks for sitting with me and hearing me.

[@lisawhitney4788]

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my father to leukemia in 2004 when he was 69. My mother is also suffering from memory loss and is in a facility in Virginia so I can understand your struggles with that. I look forward to your vlogmas series and other videos. I also live in Phoenix and pray for peace for you and your family.

[@SimplyCherie]

Hello fellow Phoenician. I’m sorry. He was so young. That must be hard for you with the distance. But I’m glad she is in a good place. It makes all the difference.

[@griddy389]

So sorry for your loss. Thank you for your help and support with your knowledge. Praying for you and your family.

[@SimplyCherie]

Thank you so much. I’m glad to help. Thanks for the prayers.

[@audreycole7642]

I’m so sorry for your loss. Cancer is so awful. May the Lord be your comfort in the days ahead.💕🙏

[@SimplyCherie]

Yes. So awful. Thank you, Audrey. I appreciate you.

[@jdbrown9380]

I am sorry for your loss. I am glad your family was able to be together at his passing.

[@SimplyCherie]

Thank you. Yes, what a blessing to be able to say goodbye and surround him one last time.

[@user-gt2qu1tj6z]

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Dad. Also, so sorry your Mom is going through memory issues. I am excited about the upcoming organizing videos.

[@SimplyCherie]

Thank you so much. It was sad and different going through the holidays without him. My mom is settling in to her new home. Thanks for being here.

[@adventuresgonewrong]

Thanks for sharing and being so vulnerable Cherie. Since I went thru something similar last year, it helps knowing others know what it's like. It's so hard losing a parent. But I love how you tie in the healing side to having a peaceful, organized home. It's so true!

[@SimplyCherie]

A big hug to you, Stacie, for your loss. I couldn’t have gotten to this point to share about this without you. I know you are in grief and appreciate how much you give in our group. I am so grateful for you.

[@808Blessed1]

Aloha Cherie!! I’m So Sorry for your loss. Condolences to you and the Family. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

[@SimplyCherie]

Thank you, my sweet friend.

[@RenaHedeman]

Oh my gosh, Cherie, THANK YOU for your raw openness... I really appreciate you opening up and sharing your heart with us. So much on the internet is either "picture perfect" life or meanness. Yet you capture so beautifully the grief we've all felt with the loss of a close loved one. Thank you. Peace be with you. ❤

[@SimplyCherie]

Thank you, Rena. I appreciate what you’ve said here. I couldn’t have shared without your listening ear and encouragement. Sometimes we need a big group hug on the internet. Many of us go through similar things. And we just need someone to sit with us.

[@FRUGALNISTA]

Wow❤😮 I came to offer my condolences to you and your family. I am sorry for your loss and you will be in my prayers. But your statement on your home being your sanctuary really stuck a cord with me. As I look around my home it looks like a chaotic Christmas mess, not a single space feels like a sanctuary. You are right a home should be a place of peace. Thank you for giving to us during a most trying and difficult moment. Your son looks like his grandfather. Sending Love❤❤❤❤

[@SimplyCherie]

Hi friend. Thank you. I appreciate your support. Thanks for sharing your response/reaction to “sanctuary”. It is valuable feedback actually. And thanks for saying my son looks like my dad. We have a photo of them side by side around the same age. The similarities are undeniable 😊

[@lindamilburn6144]

So Sorry for your loss, I will be praying for you and your family.

[@SimplyCherie]

Thank you, Linda 💜

[@josefinahilomen1287]

My family and I are very sorry for your loss. My mom passed on with lung CA and it will be 10 years this coming March. The pain and grief is always there. I am the eldest of 3 and my siblings only have me as their “parent “. We are always asking for guidance from our parents. You are lucky you still have your mom with you. Always cherish her and I’m sure you always do. Just think your dad’s pain has ended and you will see him again in God’s perfect time❤️

[@SimplyCherie]

I’m sorry. Please accept my hug for the next time you feel the immensity of grief. May you find strength and guidance as the parent to your siblings. We all need family. Thank you for being family for them.

[@nativegrl2010]

Keeping your family in our prayers, so sorry for your loss

[@SimplyCherie]

Thank you so much.

[@VitaBellaMakeup]

I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to lung cancer and the pain of that loss is always with me. Grief is hard to navigate and I still have bad days where it is overwhelming. I miss him terribly. But I know it is because love doesn’t end when life ends and I am grateful God blessed me with an amazing father and I know you are too. My prayers are with you. 🙏

[@SimplyCherie]

Here is a big long hug for you 💕💛 Thank you for saying that love does not end when life ends. May you find comfort in those days and moments when the grief overwhelms…but may it not overtake. Another big hug 💜

[@busywithdogs]

❤ Thank you for sharing your vulnerability with us. Praying for peace and comfort. ❤

[@SimplyCherie]

Thank you, Jena. And thank you for your support and encouragement. I couldn’t have gotten to this head space in order to share without your help.

[@triciamc8373]

❤My condolences to You and Your family. Thank you for sharing. I lost my father to prostate cancer 2 yrs ago and now my mom has memory loss too. What you shared about your journey is courageous. Thank you for continuing on this KZbin journey too, but I understand that you and yours always come first. God bless.❤

[@SimplyCherie]

I’m so sorry, Tricia. This has been a hard couple of years for you. May you continue to find guidance with your loss and with your mom’s health. I have had a short breather but now I’m finding guidance in handling her memory loss. At times it makes me sad. But I want to embrace what she remembers now and navigate that with her. Hugs to you 💕

[@BeingNancy]

I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. I have been wanting to comment when you first posted this...but it was too difficult. I lost my Mom to dementia in September...3 months ago. I've not been active on social media for well over a year. Occasionally, I'd log on and try to watch some videos, comment every so often, but I my sister and I were consumed with Mom's care, and it does take a physical and emotional toll as you mentioned. My mom and I talked about end of life decisions, prior to when she got too diabilitated to make decisions. I'm an RN, who specialized in Dementia. My last position was as the Executive Director of an Assisted Living Facility which included a locked unit. I include this only to say, being an expert in something didn't transfer when I was dealing with my Mom. Your father was a brave, altruistic, man, who did not want burden his wife, and children. He kept it to himself. He fought to the end and hung in there so that all of his children could say goodbye to him. You, Cheri, were a caring, loving daughter who was at times caring for both of your parents, while fulfilling commitments to your employer, your children, and celebrating milestones with your son. Please allow yourself to rest. Remember, grief comes in waves, and the only way out is through. Blessings to you and your family. 🕊️🕊️🕊️

[@dominiquewoodward8548]

So sorry for your loss. I just found your channel and your video touched me. My partner has recently found out that he has prostate cancer with metastases, and I am grateful to you for sharing your experiences with your dad. Also my parents are getting older and I'm thinking of moving to be closer to them to spend more time with them. I hope I will be able to be as caring and helpful as you have been. ❤

[@SimplyCherie]

Dominique, that is hard news. I’m sorry. Let me give you a big hug 💜 I hope you have someone to talk to process this with. I am fortunate to have a handful of friends who just want to sit with me and listen. Please keep me updated by messaging me on Instagram. As far as moving, may you find guidance about that.

[@dekadhaness8987]

My deepest sympathy to you. May you gain strength in your faith.

[@SimplyCherie]

Amen. He is the anchor for my soul. Thank you.

[@808Blessed1]

[@SimplyCherie]

Thank you 💜

[@mommargie2679]

I know there's nothing that I can say to help ease Your pain, but I am so sorry for your loss. To lose the first Man you ever knew is the hardest thing to accept, so I definitely know the pain that you're going through, I lost my dad as well, but The Most High and time had helped ease the pain. I will be praying for You and your Family!

The Lord Bless and keep you..I did try to post Psalms 8:4-9 I found out that the version I was looking at ( on Google)had omitted importation verses. So then I deleted. It would be so good to see you again someday soon.

[@SimplyCherie]

Thank you for the scripture, Janet. It would be good to meet up.
