I Renovated This Camper To Cope With My Grief

[@annecaunce]

The day you lost your mum was the 20th anniversary of my dad's passing. It never stops hurting, but somehow you learn to live with your loss, because there's no other way. Your mum will always be your mum, she'll always be your son's grandma and she'll always be a huge part of your life. Sending love and hugs. And the camper looks stunning.

[@laurathompson9649]

So sorry for your loss. The cardinal is a symbol of a divine message. It was your mom watching you work on the camper.

[@Amanda20248]

I was just about to say the same thing

[@lz6364]

Exactly, my family believes it's a loved one visiting us

[@reneeboronka]

What a beautiful video and tribute to your Momma. I lost my Dad to a sudden heart attack when he was 64. It is 33 years later and I still miss him. I am grateful that as Christians we will be reunited again. 💗

[@robinbirdj743]

My husband was healthy and fairly fit, and died suddenly after a hot day working in the sun (stressed his heart, low on potassium). He was 63. Tjey called it a „ natural“ death, but it didn’t seem natural at all! He was a young 63 yo. ❤😢❤ Sorry for your loss. 64 is about 10-30 yrs too young IMO!

[@alisonshanahan1237]

Your husband sounds wonderful. He truly appreciated and loved your mother. You're fortunate to have had such a sweetheart for a mom, one who was so supportive. ❤

[@LauraTuller]

An amazing video in every aspect. Your mom’s soul never died, she’s watching you and is always near. 🙏🏼💗

[@MissNatashaMarie]

I’m crying, Em. It’s so hard losing your mom. I lost mine suddenly in 2021, she was 64. There are so many conversations I wish I could have with my Mom every day, I miss her so much! You did a beautiful job on the camper!! Your mom would be so proud of you.

[@treasureandasong]

(((Hugs❤))) A couple of years is still a grieving time, take care. For me, it took about five years to get used to my new normal after losing my mom. Sorry for your loss, both you and the lady in the video.

[@Baileybobb]

After this I just texted my mom to say I love her, because if she were to pass I’d have so many regrets. Sorry for your loss Emelyne, and thank you for the reminder 💕 The campers beautiful, you’re living my dream!

[@debc315]

Yes your camper is beautuful. My hysband and I would like to have a camper to fix up, we are both retired but don't have a big any big savings. Our mobile home is breaking down, but it is not worth fixing to us. I especially love your tv in it's little nook. I have one of those tv/dvds, I paid $5 for it 5 years ago ,it atill plays well. I lost my dad in 1963 when I was 7 and my mom in 1986 . I muss them both, especially knowing that they didn't get to see my 6 kids. The pain never goes away totally, but softens through the tears. You find yourself thinking of them during birthdays and holidays. I will keep you in my prayers. Thank-you for showing your beautiful labor of live

[@barbaraknapp6970]

I remember the day you announced that Your Mom had passed. I was devastated for you. This was a beautiful Tribute to your Love for her, but honestly You did that in your videos So Much when she was alive. It was evident to anyone who watched your channel, the Deep Love you had for your Mom and Dad. So thankful that You have those Memories to look back on and the assurance that You will see her again. God Bless You and Your Family.

[@itscarolinemary]

Trying not to cry on the train as I watch this ❤ such beautiful narration honouring her.

[@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts]

I am so sorry you lost your beautiful mother and your best friend. I lost my best friend and soulmate that I had known since I was 15 years old, my husband Tommy in 2014.. I felt like half my heart was gone. It’s going to be 10 years in December and I think after the 5th year I started feeling human again. I am 73 years old. I keep Tommy alive just by mentioning his name to my children and grandchildren. His memory will never die. I know I will be reunited with him someday; God’s grace is sufficient for me. I can just tell by this video your mom loved you very much and you had a special relationship with her. That love will never die. God bless you and your family. And it is so true when you walk through the fire, you are never alone. God is always with you and the gift that you get when you come out of it is immeasurable. He will never leave us nor forsake us. But God , where will we be without him? I never want to know❤

[@kate2create738]

Your description of your mother and what happened brought tears in my eyes, I try to hide my sentimental side but could just feel the love you had for your mother it was beautiful. What a remarkable tribute 🥹

[@Donna-jz2ft]

I too was completely shocked to hear of the tragic and untimely loss of your mom. Absolutely the cardinal was your mom. Even the bible references that they represent visitors from Heaven.. I lost a brother 12 years ago and whenever I see a red cardinal I know it's him. I lost my dad less than two months ago and the pain is indescribable. I can't believe what you were able to accomplish this year and just like the camper before this one's transformation is incredible . I notice some decor seems "temporary" Was this intentional. The patterns, the light colors( flooring ) ,the tile, the wallpaper etc. are all just so darling I'm just questioning slip covers and the white eyelet covers on the dining table seats just seem "off " for your permanent style ??? I could be wrong I would have to go watch you outdo yourself w/ your first gut and reno. SO talented. My sincere condolences. keep your eye out for your cardinal. She will watch over all of you and especially cooper for his whole life .

[@tiffanystroy1368]

October will be 4 years since we lost my dad suddenly. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of him & still have moments where I want to pick up the phone to call or text him something. That loss irrevocably changed the fabric of my being, but I thank God for keeping my mind up until this very point. You never get over it, but you do learn how to walk through life with that grief & not let it consume you with God's help. I'm glad you have a creative outlet to help with your grief & that you have a following here that will keep you & your family in their thoughts & prayers. Thank you for sharing your heart with us. If it touched no one else, it touched my heart & encouraged me to get back to the things I loved doing before his passing. He would've hated to see me not find joy in those things anymore. I will be keeping you in my prayers. You, with the good Lord's help, have got this!

[@Meggie-bx2zu]

So sorry for your loss. Moms are so special. She is now your angel who will be watching over you until you meet again.

[@LOUISE__97]

Sobbing! Your genuine heartfelt words about her tells me everything I need to know about your wonderful mama! She's with our Savior in eternity and one day you will all meet again. Until then, she's watching over you with a smile as you set out live the gift of life to the fullest! ❤

[@wellwait4197]

Some people are just good people and you find yourself wishing them all the happiness this world has to offer…. This young lady is one of those people, whose heart shines brighter than most. Great job darling and may God’s bright light continue to shine within you and yours.

[@rebeccapratt-j5e]

What a wonderful young lady you truly are knowing your mom is with the Lord,& your testamony,enjoy the little be there for your father,son & family

[@belindasanders7072]

I'm n tears. I lost my dad suddenly years ago. I know how traumatic that is. Em, I'm happy ur back. Cooper is adorable. Betsy looks great! U guys did a wonderful job renovating her. Never have doubted ur creativity. ❤ & hugs 2 all. God bless

[@caracampbell1715]

I’m glad you are posting again. I understand the grief over your mom. My mom was my best friend, too. She died from cancer nine years ago, but I’d give anything if I still had her here with me. One of things I discovered more fully when she passed is that joy shared is joy multiplied. Nothing I do is as enjoyable as it was when I had her to share it with. I especially enjoyed sharing the cute things that my babies did or the cute photos I took of them, or the new things I bought for them. Honestly, no one else on the planet cares about those things that you love as much as your mom does. It’s a different world without her. We go on because we have to, but it’ll never be like it was. So I get it. And I just want to say that I’m so very sorry that you lost your mom so soon. 🙏💔🙏

[@DalainaRenee]

Thanks for updating I have missed your videos. It’s hard losing a parent 😮❤

[@jaynewarriner7214]

Your Mama must be so proud of your accomplishment. She is there in each one of you. Like my son (40yrs old) who passed 2yrs ago, they are strolling down streets of gold with Jesus. We will see them again soon❤

[@brendathomas7173]

My Mom was my best friend too. My first call in the morning and last call at night. We did so much together, then with my kids as they came along. It was a privilege to know her and to see her to her last day. I know she's in a much better place. I was so fortunate to have her for my Mom and my best friend❤ I'm sorry for your loss...what a blessing your Mom was!

[@karenkingrey6142]

Oh my gosh! I am so terribly sorry for you & your family’s terrible loss. Please know you all are in my prayers. The pain of losing a loved one, even knowing you’ll see her again, is the worst pain. 🙏🏼❤️ (The camper turned out beautiful!🤩)

[@trudysenglishvictorianhome3244]

I'm not gonna cry! 😭. I'm not going to cry! 😭. Oh my goodness, this is the most BEAUTIFUL Tribute you Created for your Mom!! I am certain she is looking down from Heaven and just Smiling at you!! 🤗. Little Cooper has grown so much! Such a Handsome Little Guy!! 😊. Thanks for the Update! So nice to have you back!! 🧡🧡🧡

[@kmrolland67]

She was a blessing to you as you were to her. In time, the saddness will fade, and those simple memories will come through, leaving you will a smile. Wishing you all peace

[@samdrar27]

I am so so so sorry for your loss. I am sending so much love, I am praying for you.

[@lorimariegrace614]

Just a few days ago I was searching for you, and then here you are. Im so very sorry for the loss of your precious Mama. A very hard loss indeed. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Your son is a beautiful little boy. God bless you all.

[@DaQueen57]

Loosing a parent hurts so bad, but keeping the Faith they are watching over you helps❤

[@smandeg]

So sorry for your loss. I understand your grief my mom died in my arms. Thanks for sharing.

[@melodyferguson2036]

I’m so sorry for your heartache, sweet one! Our parents are our anchors on the earth and when one leaves we kind of float around for awhile! God bless you as you heal from this trauma of life! ❤️

[@felicialong6546]

So sorry for the loss of your mom. You did such a great job with the camper. That was a lot of hard work. Your little boy is gorgeous❤️.

[@LilyBecca]

This vidso is beautiful, thank you. My mom has cancer and it has been really hard for me. I've been in a deep depression for close to 5 years now and just want to hide from everything. Your words have helped me. Thank you

[@kitzimmerman9843]

So sorry you lost your sweet Mamma. Losing a parent is hard.

[@marytaylor1320]

I truly loved this video. The story and the memories of your beautiful mom, the choice of music, the reveal, the picture of your mom with the baby, your family''s reaction to the build and of course your sweet child running around. Oh my goodness, I think my throat was swollen from beginning to end and while leaving this comment. This is my favorite video. Thank you so much

[@starsmith1744]

Sweet girl, love never dies. Love surrounds us. Your mom's love will embrace you every day. The effort you put into the camper was a beautiful way for you to move the this grieving process. Bless you from all the other mothers in the world who have your back.

[@elbeachy]

I’m so sorry for your huge loss!! You had such kind words for your mother! 💔

[@francyfey4646]

Wow, you did it again. What a makeover! And what a tribute! I obviously haven't known your mom, but I feel like her essence and what she passed on to you really manifested in the work you did on this camper and the way you're a mother to Cooper. I'm sure that what we see here is just a small amount of it all, there is and was of course (!) so much more to her and to you than what we see on this plattform here. But thank you! thank you for sharing a part of her and of you with us! It gives hope! And it's a very beautiful piece of work. I hope you are doing okay

[@maricegreen4473]

What a beautiful video. An amazing tribute to your Mom. She would be so proud of you. To all our Moms who are in heaven God Bless you . Until we meet again. 💕

[@LoveAndTruth-n7v]

We missed you so much! I can tell your Mother was full of the Holy Spirit, God bless you all! Gee I would have loved to meet her too! Now you can be the Mom she was to you to your little🥹 The camper is so beautiful with little gems of details, you both are such a talented team!

[@SilviaFigueroa-n1o]

Beautiful job, I’m so sorry for your loss, a mama is the hardest you never get over it you just learn to cope. She would be so proud of you guys, what a transformation. God bless your beautiful family ❤

[@maureenkrings3441]

This makes me so sad, you have my greatest sympathy!! My mother was my best friend, and my world I lost her in Nov. 2018. You did a wonderful job on the camper!!

[@jehnnaanderson1172]

I’m so sorry for what happened and what your family had to go through, but I’m really glad you finished your camper project in honor of your mum. I’m also glad that she got to see you make it through your fertility journey 💜 My mum left us over 7 years ago now, one day she just snapped, she blamed everything on my dad, me, my sister, all of her friends, she abandoned everyone in the most horrible way… I know the feelings of grief and hurt you have gone through, and I know it gets better, even for me without ever having closure and for it to quite honestly be harder for me to deal with than a death it still gets better over time. I wish I could hold onto such beautiful memories like you have, and if I ever overcome my fertility struggles I will make sure my kids have only good memories of me 🥹 I see only beautiful things for your future Emelyne 🌸

[@sharonsomers5513]

[@kimberlyjohnson-clark2886]

You don't know, or maybe you do, how very lucky you are to have such a sweet mama. My mother was narcissistic and abusive most of my life. She passed away three years ago and I didn't even mourn her. You are blessed to have your mama 😢

[@CarmenGutierrez-p8d]

I'm sorry your mom was so mean. You deserved better. ❤

Absolutely sad to hear about your mom passing. The words you used to describe her were very sweet and heartwarming. On the 29th of this month I will be celebrating my dad’s 2 year anniversary…I for real listen to his favorite Motown artists, I cook one of his favorite dishes and I drink one of his favorite beers- doing this brings joy and makes me smile big because I did all the things he loved. Sending hugs and the camper looks amazing. Prayers for continued peace for your dad😊
