[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

My pops died of a heart attack when I was 18. Happened in his sleep right behind me while I was coding a website in his room for a school project. We loaded him into the backseat and I held his head as he turned blue on our way to the hospital. It was crazy considering we were laughing our asses off at Russell Peters clips on youtube literally just a couple of hours before he went to sleep. I'm turning 32 this year and I still think about that night.

[@oldmanyoung7892]

God bless u both. Although it may have been traumatic, don't take for granted the 18 yrs of happiness u were able to have w him. Keep his spirit strong n be the man he raised u to be. Peace!

the worst is dreaming of them and waking up.

[@bigchris757]

I lost my dad in January of last year, on my birthday(I still remember the time,3:45am) I was woke up from a dream of him asking me to help him in the shed. I immediately jumped up, ran to the bathroom real quick and it didn't dawn on me until I walked out of the bathroom that it was just a dream. It absolutely devastated me.

[@divinelymoowah6104]

i feel for you, since I felt similar when I first began dreaming about my dad; though, now and it took some time, my dreams where my dad joins in feel more lighthearted and fun and I feel like I can really see him for who he is, not just as I remembered my dad (which is also why dreaming about him at first felt a bit dark and “scary” because I used to be scared of him) I say that to say, maybe one day those dreams may leave a more heart warming residual effect for you than feeling too bittersweet

[@HAMMER_2.2]

For reals.. and those dreams in particular are always so realistic and enjoyable

[@edvm4953]

Glad you guys touched on this subject. I lost my dad last year. I remember Bart telling stories about his dad over the years and I couldn’t help but identify with his stories. I was devastated when I heard the news about his dads passing and even more devastated when I suffered a loss of my own.

[@kiarademoner]

My mother chose to pass away at 57 in 2021. She didn’t want to fight her stage 4 cancer after its discovery, and she preferred not to spend her final moments in the hospital away from her family.😢

[@black4pienus]

My cousin died at age 17 on 9-9-'99 of all days. He died from an unfortunate traffic accident. We all have that one cousin we vibe with the most. He was that one for me. I was 19 at the time. And because of this my aunt started to drink her pain away and his sister decided never to have kids. It does help to talk about the fun memories we have, with his siblings and with other cousins. But it did leave a hole in my family.

[@black4pienus]

@hawwndawg My aunt went to rehab and has been sober since. But now her husband is too fragile to live at home with her. He lives in an old folks home with nurses and bingo (lol). But it is sad. Too many sad things in their family to name. I think my cousin will remain cat parents, with her husband. I also chose not to have kids. It just isn't for me. But I enjoy being an aunt.

[@GYSMelanie5]

Cried during this one. My love to you all and to those in the comments that have lost important people in their lives. So many in mine are gone. Just last week, even. I know one of our discord members lost his aunt this morning. . So many prayers to everyone.

[@terrancepemberton4648]

I just really feel for Bart man. I lost my dad on December 3rd 2018.... my dad was a wonderful man and about as close to a saint as you can get really, he was the best father ever and we were super close. My parents were already getting up in years when I was born. They had 4 kids already and then my mom got pregnant with me and my twin sister(sadly my twin passed away October 2021, and my oldest brother January 2021) and mom turned 40 one month after she had us and dad was 47 at that time. Spent my whole life helping take care of my dad cause he lots of issues with his heart and an extreme case of diabetes(that's a whole other story and it was wild as fuck). Anyways dad had a stroke in 2014 and his health really was even more of a downward spiral from there. Watched my dad wither away both mentally and physically the last 4 years of his life and it was the hardest thing I think I've ever had to deal with cause we were really close. But with Bart seems his dad might've made some mistakes and he could've done better but seems they were on the mend. And Bart often makes light of the matter and I know he jokes around, but you can really tell in this video that his dad's passing has really affected him more than he might admit, and you can tell he thinks of him a lot and maybe struggling to come to terms with what happened. Just wish I could give Bart a big hug! That's a tough situation. It's great that Bart tries to stay as positive as he does about things, but I'm sure it's still hard tho.

[@Butch_Lee]

my dad passed september 13 2019 (a friday the 13th) and it was too soon for me. my dad and i were very similar and he helped me with every thing. people may say i was baby’d and i wouldn’t deny that, but he was so smart and i need more of his help and wisdom. but i also know he was suffering the most in the last couple years of his life. and im just still fucking pissed off that just 2 days before he passed they learned he had cancer in his liver and just 5 months earlier we went to his appointment with the LIVER SPECIALIST. and that he was gonna get on the transplant list. that shit could’ve been caught earlier and maybe helped him live longer to get to have a transplant. there’s so many things i never got to tell him and i miss being annoyed by him. i have dreams of him sometimes and every time i wake up i write it down in my phone.

Thank you Ryan for trying to give an insight on grief at a young age. I have an 11hrs old brother who lost his close friend last year to cancer. It broke my heart seeing him cry for his friend. We had different opinion in our family on whether he should have attended the wake since that was something we never spoke to him about. I don’t think my family and I will truly understand the emotions he felt going through that and how it affected him

[@tsunemori717]

My grandmother passed from a cancerous tumor/kidney disease she kept from the family until she couldn’t get out of bed anymore. My father requested for her to go in peace then to live the rest of her days suffering in treatment. She passed while I was at work and all the noise around me, turned into static then a long beep in my ear. I stopped in place and stared at the wall, everything around me blurred out of view, I felt like the world around me was gone. 3 months after her death, my cousin deleted himself by hanging, 3 months later my great grandmother passed of dementia. Out of all those 3, my grandmothers death still breaks me. It’s been 5 years…..

[@schnitzelthoughts2515]

I highly doubt this will reach any of the JK crew, but maybe people who've lost someone can find comfort in this: in my religion it is believed that when you dream of the deceased and realize they aren't of the living while in the dream it actually is their soul coming to talk to you or give you a message. They're still with you, always.

I lost my dad 10yrs ago. Me and my baby brother were the only two to have his last meal with him. We went to the hospital that night to visit my aunt then my parents wanted to stop by a funeral to drop off some money for the family of the loss. I dropped them off and head over to my brother's house and hang out for a bit until they're done. 30 minutes in and i received a phone call from my mom crying and telling me my dad is unconscious. He had a major stroke. He never woke back up and we decided to just pull the plug. 😢😢😢.

[@MO-nj7tj]

one thing i wished as a joemalia citizen is that joe needs to learn that cutting people off doesnt mean you are not connected to them anymore. majority of dads who beats up their kids are the ones who experienced a not so good child father relationship when they were young .. he needs to forgive and let go of his resentment for him to be a good father in the future. i still feel he has so much resentment from his words even though it sounds like he is joking but only he knows about it. this is prolly the most serious bart ever been 💀..

You need to lose weight until you become air. He literally did, his soul left his body

[@Mookieco]

This is just my opinion for I don’t know your family, Bart. You mentioned in your videos how your dad really loved living with you guys. He’s reached an old age where he really loved having family nearby. He was living with you after he sold his house but it was only brief because you wanted to get him his own place, and you wanted him to move out. After you got him his new place, he said how he regretted selling his LA house because Vegas is so foreign to him. So he ended up moving back in with your mom. Not that you did anything wrong because your videos have shown you really loved your dad but it was a very Americanize way of wanting your dad to be near you but not really.

[@bethnichols2875]

Bart mentioned in one of his videos that his Uncle who was close to his dad said there was nothing that could have been said to Bart's dad to change his mind from the path he chose. The Uncle had been in communication with Bart's dad and he had tried to dissuade him to no avail. It could be like what Joe mentioned, that Bart's dad was fighting his own "demons" and didn't know what would truly make him happy. Bart had even mentioned that his dad had talked about his dreams for the future, of wanting to see Taika grow up and go through life's milestones, yet he took his own life anyways.
