Losing My Dad

[@nilsagymnastics]

Dear Heavenly Father, We ask that you continue to watch over Gretchen during this time in her life. First, we would like to thank you for giving Gretchen the extra time that she needed to spend with her father. Although it may have appeared to be a burden during the time, we all now see your reasoning. We ask that you help her father make a quick and easy transition into the world of Heaven. Please allow Gretchen to connect with her father in the ways that will help her heal and mend her broken heart. We also ask that you watch over whomever has or will be affected by this loss. Finally, we once again thank you for the bond between Gretchen and her father that developed in 22 years and we thank you for whatever is to come that will successfully aid Gretchen during this time. In your name, We pray, Amen

Oh Gretchen... I cannot express to you the pain and sadness in my heart that I have for you and your family. I am praying for you and your family as you endure this pain and cope with the loss of your daddy. You are a light to the world and we are so grateful for all of the positivity that you put into this world. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dear Gretchen, This is the first time I’ve gone on KZbin since my mom died on Friday. I’m 19 and in college and can’t believe that I’m seeing this now at the top of my subscription box. Thank you for this. I needed this. I’m going through the exact same thing right now. I’m praying for you.

[@stephrocksxoxo18]

So sorry for your loss. Im 19 and in college and I cant even imagine

Praying for your healing

[@shelby_6618]

So sorry for your loss. I lost my mom at 20. Like I told Gretchen, it is okay to be mad, sad, angry and wonder why... I still do 10 years later. Hang in there ❤️

My Dad passed away suddenly two and a half weeks ago. Yesterday we laid him to rest. The pain is an unbearable pain like no other that can never be put into words. Trying to find comfort in others who know what I am going through.

[@gusn1765]

I am so sorry you had to go through that.💔 Sending you prayers. You are loved🙏🏻

[@JanetteMarieXo]

This just happened to me. 😔

[@CaitlinBea]

It's the craziest feeling when your dad gives you a sign and you feel it so strongly, knowing so confidently that IS him. I cant help but be overwhelmed with emotion when that happens still 3 years later. I empathize with you so much and can't help but cry throughout this whole video having been in your place. Sending you the biggest hug and I am forever here for you Gretchen! ❤️

[@MsStephnicole]

She is literally a light on KZbin . Always smiling always so positive. That's what I've taken from her in the short months I've followed her life. You see some of these other youtubers who are annoying and shallow. And then you see Gretchen and you think why did this happen to HER?! Her outlook on life and just the way you can see her heart in her eyes. My heart is with you Gretchen. Stay close to the lord. You will be stronger and grow through this. It will be hard. But you will be ok. ❤

[@madisonmarsingill]

MsStephnicole couldn’t agree with this more 😭 love her so much

[@abbeywilliams1238]

Gretchen, my heart is hurting for you, I bawled through this video. That was my first thought when I saw this happened as well that in some weird way, tearing your ACL was a blessing you couldn't see at the time because you got to spend so much time with him. You are so strong. Prayers for your family.

It may seem like he can’t answer back when you want to talk, but those sunsets, those songs, those are him speaking to you. He speaks when he knows you need him most, and that’s how you know he’s always there for you, no matter what. ❤️ we all support and love you so much

I am 24 and I lost my dad suddenly two months ago today due to a massive heart attack. He was 53. I still feel in shock and still feel like “he’s on vacation! He will come back” my birthday is on Friday and all these emotions are still so raw and real. I feel all of this pain to real. The questioning and everything. I hope you’re doing alright these days❤️

Gretchen, I lost my dad 6 years ago due to a sudden illness. You are such a strong girl. I wish I could give you a big hug. Losing a parent is the hardest thing you will ever go through. If I could give you one piece of advice, take time to grieve and spend as much time around those you love, especially the days you need it the most. I'll be praying for you and your family through this hard time. Cherish the memories you had with him. Much love

[@cieramarshall299]

anyone else feeling like calling their dad to tell them they love him after watching this video? ❤️❤️

[@cassd3501]

I found your channel through your ACL reconstruction videos. It's crazy, because I wasn't going to click on your channel at first because you are so young, and seem so different from me. But I'm so glad I did. My dad passed away one month before my ACL surgery. Having to mourn his loss and recover at the same time, was something I didn't think I could ever relate to with someone else. I'm sorry you lost your dad. And thank you for th positive energy you put forth into the world.

[@lululindsey674]

this is so raw and emotional & you will be able to look back on this and be so proud of yourself for being so strong and sharing your story with everyone

Your dad is going to be with you as you walk up to get your diploma and guiding you down the aisle as you meet your husband. You are the brightest light in this world, keep on shining you get this. Your dad is going to be the proudest and will be there with you through it all. ❤️❤️

I want you to know how amazing you are as a person and how much joy you bring. Your positivity is unlike anyone I have ever seen, and I am sure you are similar to your dad in that way because of how you described him. Your dad must be so proud of the amazing person you have become and he will continue to look down from heaven and be so proud that you are his daughter. My dad and I have a very similar relationship to you and your dad and I can't begin to imagine what you're going through, just know that all of us are here for you and we love you so much.

[@ashbabe1945]

Girl I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad unexpectedly last October and today was an awful day for me. Cant stop crying. It does get better. Some days you feel okay and smile when you think of him. Other days you long for him so much that the pain just consumes you. I hang on to the quote, "grief is the cost of love." It is worth it to love someone that much. Even though losing them breaks your heart into a million pieces. I'll be thinking of you. You're stronger than you know. Your dad is always with you and his love and stories live through you ❤

[@rebecca5081]

I'm really sorry for your loss. Grief is one of those things that will take you all over the place. It will kick you in the heart when you least expect it, daily. I'm just writing to say - whatever you need to do for yourself, whatever feelings you experience - FOR HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES EVEN IF IT'S YEARS AND YEARS (this part is important because people like to put timelines and expectations around grief) - all of this is valid and real and human. Be gentle with yourself as you go through the process. I'm very very sorry you lost your dad. I don't know you or him but I know he is really proud of you and he must have been a really amazing person because he raised amazing people. Hugs.

i remember watching this video right when you posted it. i’m watching it again now, my dad passed away suddenly 3 weeks ago. i hadn’t seen him for like 3 weeks before that, i didn’t get to say goodbye. we also haven’t had the opportunity to have his celebration of his life due to the corona virus situation. i’m a freshman in college, all he wanted to do was see me succeed, which he never will. i was his absolute pride and joy. when i watched this the first time i never truly understood it, but this is a level of pain that i didn’t even know it was possible to feel. losing a parent is something i would never wish upon anyone, not even my worst enemy. i hope this gets easier eventually

[@abbyclaire6651]

[@savannah2708]

this video made me cry the entire way through. I don't think i've ever seen pain so evident in a person as it was in this video. As weird as it sounds, I believe God put you through the struggle of tearing your ACL to give you that special time with your dad. although you may have been probably thinking "Why me?" you spent that time with your dad as best as you could have. Sometimes we will never know the reason things happen or why you are faced with the problems you are, but you are definitely one of the strongest people I know. Sending so much love to you.

It will get easier and you will be able to remember the good times instead of the empathy spot he left. Praying for your strength and peace. 🙏🏾

[@allieforshee3195]

You are so strong, Gretchen. I lost my dad about a year and a half ago to cancer. While we knew it was coming eventually, it never made it any easier. Losing a parent and best friend is the hardest thing I've ever been through. The best piece of advice anyone gave me is to know he is still with me always. It will feel unreal for a while, sometimes I still feel like he's still supposed to be here. I questioned it for a long time and always wondered why. But knowing that he's still here with me always makes me feel better. I will always miss his help with writing papers and playing catch, but I know he's better than he's ever been now. I will keep you and your family and my thoughts and prayers. Remember the good moments and memories and keep them with you always. Even though it hurts every day, just remember he is with you still. Big hugs and prayers to you and your family!!

I also am glad you started KZbin, because now you have the opportunity to look back on the memories you shared together. Your dad will always be with you, because he now lives in your heart. Hang on to the memories, and every time you are reminded of him, take a moment to stop and breathe. It will be his way of saying he loves you. Stay strong, and just know that everyone here is going to support you. 💕
