[@maryfry920]

Oh Amanda, panic attacks.that is so scary Emotions can drain us of energy. Your friendship with Wayne is touching. Age is not a factor for good people You are an angel of mercy🤗

[@lisarichards3853]

Oh Darlin, you can only do the best you can. That is good enough. Keep taking care of yourself. ❤❤

[@aliceg9571]

I’m sorry you have to see all the negative comments. Please know that you have a lot of people that know you are doing the right thing. I know it’s hard to have to see those comments. We love your kindness and know you are Wayne’s good friend. I think he knew that too. I am looking forward to seeing Taco and hope he’s doing well. Thank you for being open about your having to deal with all of this. You are a true friend. ❤

[@dalerice4439]

I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I could give you a big hug right now. God Bless you for doing what you are able to do for Taco. You are a very special person and a wonderful friend.

[@cindyjohnston3134]

Honor your friend by remembering him and the good times you 2 had....grief is along road with no end. my dad has been gone 20 years and I still get emotional at certain times of the year. Huge Hugs!!!!!!

[@Cjs_Travelin_Van-Na]

Everything connects. We love you and Wynston.

[@starrharrison8178]

So so sorry Amanda. Losing our furbabies is heartbreaking.

[@theturnersontheroad4537]

We are glad you are there to do what you can for Wayne and Taco. We pray his family is found and contacted soon. ❤

[@laurajphillips]

I just lost a friend I’ve known for 32 years, I know what grieving is all about, we were like sisters she was 67, got aggressive form of cancer. I understand your grief, Bless you and my condolences.

[@tomatogrw]

There is no good way to lose someone you love. It definitely sucks, no way around it. Wayne was fortunate to have you as a friend. ❤

[@SandiJessen-e3e]

Amanda, you are such a loving, gentle, sweet spirit! I truly feel bad for you. Losing a friend is difficult, at best, so give it time! They say ‘time heals all wounds’……hugs, lovely lady! We hope you will feel better soon! Maybe when Brock gets there, you will have someone to lean on & not be so alone with your thoughts! 💕💕🥰🙏✝️

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thank you so much.

[@judyoliver533]

Don’t apologize. You are an Angel.

[@Ournomadicjourney]

Let it all out. It won't be good for you to keep your emotions bottled up. You're so tender hearted and loving which makes you who you are. Remember that You're loved and have a supportive family.

[@WindGypsy65]

Sometimes when I’m down making a gratitude list helps. An attitude of gratitude 😊

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I love making gratitude lists.

[@brendathomas7173]

I'm glad you're in Greer! Cooler and more peaceful...sounds perfect. Hawley Lake is so beautiful. Wishing you all the best. ❤

[@juliehoot3916]

Hi Amanda, I am so sorry! This is so heartbreaking! Don't worry about content. We are here because we love you and Wynston! Not to be entertained. We want to spend time with you and Wynston. Cry all the tears you need to cry and know most of us are crying right along with you. I know I am. We will get through this. Sending love and healing prayers. ❤🙏

[@susanweeldreyer8692]

Sorry for your loss take care of yourself everything will turn out ok 😊

[@stormdavies250]

Your tears honor your friend Wayne. 💖

[@Vangela1]

Taco is lucky to have you in his corner right now. ❤

[@sarahpurcell956]

Amanda, take time to grieve. Don’t try to hold it in. Soon, you’ll be able to cherish the memories but it takes time. For now, allow yourself time to grieve. Take care of yourself.

[@jenniferpeters6298]

Sending you hugs. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this.

[@hattiejones6406]

Hi Amanda, just joined your site. Thanks for being so real. I'm sorry to hear about your Wayne. It's okay to grieve, let it out. Also I want to encourage you to remember good memories. Wayne is always with you. Sending prayers your way.

[@KyleAlleman]

Stay strong. You got this.

[@TeresaMichael-gv7qo]

We’re here for you sweet girl.

[@maryfry920]

Wayne is giving you a heavenly hug

[@ClairenParkerontheRoad]

That sounded scary last night. That is a LOT to go through. You're doing great!

[@ofeliasoto9788]

Thank you for sharing have a blessed day ❤

[@Je-Lia]

Panic attacks are such a bizarre and unnerving thing to go through.... *HUGS* People tend to make "You should" statements far too quickly, without having all the information, and laden with judgemental arrogance. You're doing great, being balanced, staying true to - while also honoring - your friends memory and taking the steps to care for his companion.

[@pamharrison9147]

I’m sorry for the loss of ur friend

[@sharonsparks4299]

Hi Amanda, I am a solo also. I agree with others who suggest being with someone when the heaviness of life is in progress. Take care of yourself first, then you have strength for others.💖

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thanks Sharon.

[@niseyjones598]

U don't have to b sorry Amanda I wish I could b there with and give u a huge to comfort u at this time I'll b keeping u both in my prayers of yr anxiety healing of yr heart from Wayne passing. He's always with u no matter what. It is good to let it out it helps with the healing one day at a time Amanda. ❤

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thanks Nisey!

[@pamelaklemp5615]

Sweet lady, my heart breaks 💔 seeing your pain at for your friend's passing over. Death of a loved one leaves its own kind of footprints on our hearts. I'll open up a window for safe passages and do a kind deed in Wayne's name (He for a Blessing) to show respect for him and for you, my KZbin friend. The lake was beautiful and hopefully when you visit there next time it offers you some healing and blessings from the Native American ancestors who's sprites must be ever present there. SHALOM (PEACE AND FREEDOMS) Always To You.

[@DeeEvolving]

Panic attacks are no joke. Then the "hang'over" from them is so draining. Wynston said let's go Mom. People can be so harsh with words "spoken". Like shut up. And no need to explain to those Karen's & Ken's.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I felt so terrible the next day. Ugh.

[@DeeEvolving]

@@AdventuringWithAmanda OH yeah....it's not a good feeling. :(

[@Pipers_hooman]

I'm so sorry for your pain Amanda. 60s is too young to die. 💔 I am in my mid 50s and I want many more years beyond my 60s. Praying for safe travels and comfort for your heart while walking through this time. 🙏🏼 Psalm 46 is a great comfort to me during these times. The Psalms in the Bible help comfort me greatly and help with my anxiety and panic also. ❣️

[@JeffeysMom]

Huge hugs Much Love JeffeysMom 🐾👨‍🦼🚍🕊️❤️👍🏻🫂🏕️

[@DoloresKeyser]

Hugs lots of hugs so Very sorry for your loss been there 💔🙏🙏🙏

[@garylafreniere1112]

You tell them Amanda preach it happy you liked your phone booster I want to get one someday hopefully it will happen you're my beautiful friend I always love you Gary❤

[@debbief2882]

Amanda, don't apologize for tears and being sad. A dear friends loss can be very difficult. Life is too short and we have to live each day to the fullest. You do what works best for Amanda and Wynston and don't worry about what some folks say. They aren't in your position. 🫂💙

[@Stay_tooned]

Yes, those PA like to make themselves known under high stress. Let those tears roll.😢 you'll know when. Im sure it is helping to talk through these videos. We like your channel because of you!

[@TransVangal]

Dont be sad #Blessings to you

[@marilynbubb-yh5yk]

Good morn, I'm having coffee with ya. That happenened to me the other night i woke up with an anxiety attach, i thought i was having a heart attach, so i feel for you.

[@brigidanow]

Amanda, you don’t need to explain to folks why things aren’t happening fast enough for them …

[@lindagailsch]

As someone who also suffers from anxiety & panic attacks I was just curious if Wynston is able to comfort or do anything that helps you when you have a panic attack. I didnt know if that was his service dog job but would be curious to find out more about that. Amanda continue taking care of yourself. My heart just really goes out to you. Hugs to you & Wynston as you go thru this journey. Wynston was just living his best life walking along the water. Just a precious boy. Grief just continues to hit when you least expect it. Its been 10 years since I lost my son & I never know when it will hit me. I hope the nature & water in Greer will help your emotions & give you some peace.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

He is actually trained to retrieve my medication. :)

[@supersonicdevin3212]

You just have to give yourself time to adjust.

[@AJK278]

Sweetie you have a lot on youe plate. Take care of you and guve kisses to Sir Wynston for me❤️

[@theturnersontheroad4537]

Amanda we have not had the chance to watch this video yet...we are commenting before we watch it because your video is 10 hours old and has not gotten any likes or comments. We love you and Wynston Love and Peace and prayers Jim and Dawn Turner aka The Turners On The Road 😢

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I appreciate you two.

[@wyrdadventures]

Oh honey! Have you tried deep breathing or meditation when the panic attacks start? Was Wayne and Taco at Ironwood with us?

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Yes - deep breathing and sensory touch (cold or warm) helps. Wayne and Taco weren't at Ironwood.

[@blanetalk]

"You're a breakfast burrito!" Lol! In an emergency, always remember the flight attendant rule: If the plane is going down, you have to make sure you hook up your own oxygen before you can help others. I would be interested if you could add the cell booster item to your product links. Thank you. ❤

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Great analogy with the oxygen mask. You're absolutely right.

[@xlreppeed]

Hey come to Canada , East Coast NB , great spot to relax and forget or remember 😊

[@BonnieMartin-s7s]

Maybe you need someone with you. We don't want anything to happen to you. Hang in the prayers❤

[@dfros1957]

❤❤❤

[@tikoy1955]

Unfortunately that doesn't surprise me concerning the trash on the reservation. Very sad.

[@bethbrimberry2900]

😢❤🙏🏼

[@carolwest6095]

Darling😲 it's ok to feel sad. Please know that with every step you take, you have a team around you 🦅(seen and not seen).🕊 Give the worries over to your better angels, and know it will be ok. 🪽

[@henrie.c]

I’m just coming across your channel for the first time and of everything you said ‘Wayne Dying’ was the one thing that stuck, now I don’t know who Wayne is as I mentioned it’s my first time here, so I’m gonna stick around just to make sure you’re ok ❤️‍🩹 🙏🏼

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Hey, thanks for sticking around. I appreciate your kindness and concern.

[@alanshaffer6724]

😊😊
