I am so sorry for your loss

[@biankaovsepian-pataki7226]

Sorry for your loss. I feel you. for me it's been almost 6 years and I fell back to a place to feel like it was just yesterday. Such a pain that she can't help me fall in love with the world more and more... So just hold on, better times will come. We have to make them proud. The hardest, but probably best thing we can do.

[@lindsaybunch3495]

KSmith Love I couldn't have said it better. I somehow came across this and it made me cry but I needed a good cry. This was so touching and sounds like me in life struggles and mental health struggles especially the last 2 years. I've struggled almost losing my mom 5 times in 2 years. Finding her lifeless and unresponsive in her bed. So this is just like it was written for me. Sending you big hugs.

This is a message to anyone considering therapy, or are currently doing therapy - Stick with it, and do the work. I have been doing therapy off and on for over 20 years. In the last 2 years, I found a therapist who I've really connected with (you may find that not all therapists are a "fit", just like in dating or friendships). I have been making remarkable progress, and can honestly say I am not the man I was two years ago. I encourage you to find a therapist you connect with, who is a good fit/ match for you, and to do the work they assign to you. Lastly, you CAN get better, and there is ALWAYS hope. -- Geoff

[@cerbiurus1885]

This hit too close, in a very right way. Crying almost before the song has even started thinking about how it will be. Thank you Malinda for giving me exactly the reminder about what matters in life that I needed, even though the song was for you. Let's all have a big collective virtual hug!

[@cp368productions2]

The beginning of 2020 was not bad for me, the pandemic didn't really affect me mentally. Not liking public places I am fine not going places. My depression was pretty much gone, only brought back by a couple things. But when I have a rough day, or when my PTSD has me shaking uncontrollably I just binge this KZbinr named Malinda Kathleen Reese and she just makes me feel better. After 30-60 minutes of her videos I am happier or calmer. I don't know what it is about her that affects me so positively, especially when I have been hurt by so many females in my life. But somehow she has this power to make people feel better.

[@Hannah-wt7ww]

I am glad to hear that it was not too difficult for you mentally. I am sorry you have been hurt and I am glad that you are in healing now. As she said in the song, "Let's try one more time." I know it is hard to get back up, but sometimes, when you've hit rock bottom the only thing you can do is get up to fight again. I am praying for you. God Bless.

[@enricomolfino8164]

Sì hai ragione , Malinda ha effettivamente un effetto positivo sull'animo delle persone , lenisce e cura i loro dolori e ti tira anche su se sei giù di tono , credimi non sei il solo , sono tante le persone che traggono giovamento dalle sue canzoni , me compreso 😊

This definitely feels like the biggest warm hug I've had in a while. From that special person, ya know? It feels like taking a breath of fresh air after holding your breath for what feels like an eternity.. It feels like just being able to release all of the stress, anxiety, tension, and worry.

[@blumeshullman8002]

when you said "i wrote this as a hug to my inner child" it sent a shiver down my spine. Like I totally get how it sounds heartwarming in theory, but i see how i was as a child, and I hated being hugged with a passion. If i ever did something for my inner child it would be a firm handshake and a nod with a grunt of approval. Child me would have loved that.

LOTR music has given me peace, but you'be taken it to new heights. I've been looking for one song when they are on a bridge, I think. I have teared up, smiled, so much peace. I loved your duos. Evanescence has been my favorite, but your voice is so amazing too.

[@oriennerose9054]

Thank you, Malinda. This song is amazing, healing, poetic, and beautiful. I had a mini depressive episode last year. It was only 4 days but when I felt the heaviness again I was scared. I had had a long depressive episode before which ended with me being hospitalized for suicidal intent. I don't know why but I started writing, unable to find the strength to stand, I remember sitting there and telling myself I was going to be okay, that I was better equipped now and had more equipped supports in place. A month later I celebrated the 5 year anniversary of me being released from the mentioned hospitalization. These two pandemic years have been some of the hardest in the six years since my big major depressive episode. I just felt like sharing this.

Here - have some more virtual hugs! You are not alone in this place, where everything feels like it's just not getting better. It ain't easy, it ain't glorious - but you can find what makes you happy again. Creativity isn't easy when you are feeling low, and not feeling satisfaction from the attempt makes it harder and harder in the long run. You might wanna try some more guided activity like coloring books or painting by numbers for a change. For me , it's copying my favorite poem - Invictus in caligraphy. Even if I mess up a line, or my pen decides to just ruin my day in the last paragraph - I end up with a full page of (mostly) great letters spelling out a single fact: "No matter what - I am stronger then this."

[@nosajimiki5885]

Not ALL rational people. Personally, 2020-2021 have been the best 2 years I've had in over a decade. Covid forced me to heal some deep seated issues in my marriage. Working from home has given me back a whole 5 hours a week to devote to children and household things. Taking my kids out of school for home schooling has eliminated a ton of behavioral and mental health issues caused by our broken educational system. My local community has become much stronger as there is now this much deeper since of needing to take care of those around us that are struggling: when someone in our area gets sick or hurt it is no longer just their struggle, but everyone shows up with warm meals on your door step, or to mow your lawn, or to watch your pets and children when you can not. When my household got Covid, it was scary and we did get pretty sick, but seeing how willing people are to contribute an act of kindness to those in need feels like something new; so, even with the masks, and quarantines, and minimal face time with our extended circle of people, everyone somehow feels closer and more connected by having this common problem we all face and constant reminders that we all actually do need one another. My heart reaches out to everyone who is struggling, but there is a light in the darkness for those who are looking for it.
