My First Korean Funeral Experience in Canada | Buried My Father | Christmas 2023

[@kaioiamo1503]

She cried for a person she barely knew because her heart is so big! You really married a very special person! ❤️

[@Ayaayaayag]

Sorry for your loss. Me as a viewer I’m happy for the little steps he made like meeting your wife before your mom and sister and showing up to your son’s birthday. He always seemed hesitant based on your stories but I feel in my heart that he actually would’ve been present more if it hadn’t been for your mom’s disapproval

[@paulatristan8189]

I totally agree 💯

[@traceejohnson290]

Justin told her that his father also didn't like her because she was Black. She was shocked to hear that she said she always thought it was just his mother.

[@chanelbarth75]

​@@traceejohnson290she's mixed.

[@maydavedilago7344]

So his father did what his mom said sad

[@kmorris2371]

Justin, don't be like your dad, mom, and sister. I don't know how religious you are or not, but I've been taught to believe that forgiveness is for you. Not for your dad, your mom, or your sister. It's for you. You have to be an example for your children. They watch everything you say and do.

[@lindapearson8137]

Sarah is the most wonderful example of how to live through difficult situations! She could of joined you, Justin and there wouldn’t of been any good memories! Your wife is amazing! I choose to follow her example! It isn’t easy, but through my faith in Jesus He has helped me walk in forgiveness.

[@TerraMarshall1]

Sarah is a wonderful wife and mother.

[@lizcoleman977]

Sarah is an amazing person. How she is able to forgive is almost unheard of. Prime example of how humans should treat one another!

[@kaioiamo1503]

Forgive racism oh ok.

[@divinewaters8836]

Remember you’re going to be going through a wave of emotions. It’s ok to be angry and still love him. It’s okay to love him and hate some of his actions. Give yourself permission to feel it and ask for help to work through it. Don’t get stuck. In time, you will find your peace. I am so very sorry for your loss. I pray that your whole family is able to come close together.

[@christinegott3699]

So very well said.

[@samijohnson5152]

Said so eloquently.

[@nca4794]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@DOLfirst]

I think Justin needs to work this out himself. Telling him he needs to forgive his father isn't helpful. Sometimes forgiveness happens sometimes it doesn't. He shouldn't feel shame for his feelings, which are justified. We can all acknowledge this fact.

[@DeeDiamond2981]

Correct I am in this position..and I do sort out the dysfunctional things my parents did to me . Anyone who tried to force me to forgive, I pushed them away..as they are jumping boundaries.

[@lisawilliams1927]

Justin feelings are valid nobody can tell you how to grieve. I’m sure in time he will be able to process all the emotions he felt for his father. Please be there when he is ready to talk about how he feels. Blessings.

[@palmcoast35]

I strongly agree!

[@ladyb129]

Who can find a Virtuous Woman, Sarah you are that woman. You are so gracious and sweet. May God give you all comfort during this time of bereavement. Prayers. 🙏

[@mercibeau]

sarah is truly a blessing. you can tell she has always brought out a vulnerable side of justin that clearly has been supressed his entire life. even at 6:00 when she talks him through what he truly could've possibly been feelings; so warming and compassionate. justin its okay to feel the things, and healing is never linear. take time to process and ask for guidance through your emotions. although it seems sarah already helps with that which is amazing.

[@karencooperchaudhry5006]

You don’t need to forgive, rather accept that he gave you what he was able.

[@sweetangiegirl1]

Sarah is the most loving! I can't imagine them not accepting her. It's their loss,for sure.

[@kinebrembry6224]

Poor Justin. You had so many hopes for restoration. Please allow yourself time to mourn those hopes as well.

[@martikagarcia6948]

LOOK AT POPS ❤

[@Navyman825]

Thanks for sharing. Forgiveness takes time Justin, you will get there in time. Remember it is for you not for him.

[@rosemaeva2498]

❤❤❤❤❤ WOW, HANDSOME MAN ❤❤❤❤❤ AND YOU TWO LOOKED BEAUTIFUL IN YOUR CHRISTMAS 🎄 PARTY 🥳 🎉 ❤️ 😍 💕 DRESS, VERY HANDSOME, BEAUTIFUL COUPLE 😊

[@missyanngobin7978]

My moms family is Irish - growing up I couldn't quite understand the concept of the large Irish funeral and then the BIG party afterwards......but it was always enjoyable to see distant relatives.........Justin, time will heal and don't let anyone dictate to you how you should grieve/feel, that is totally personal - everyone is different!

[@bilcal]

My condolences are with you, Justin and Sarah, and all your family. Know that forgiveness takes time and cannot be forced. 🙏

[@aapjm]

i didn't expect the "magandang araw sa inyong lahat". she's half filipina she's so beautiful 🥰

[@filomenaabreu5649]

Sarah, I know that feeling. You just made me cry, too. Justin, you have to understand that just because you don't know a person well doesn't mean you can't cry. He was your kids' grandad, and your father and Sarah's father inlaw just that means so much to your wife . I too just follow you on KZbin but I cried when I heard the news , it was because I know you guys.

[@junellporter8315]

You wrote everything that I wanted to say! ❤

[@AngelMissyMe]

You're a sweet soul Sarah, I would never shed a tear for anyone that mistreated me, refused me, disrespected me, de humanized me. You're a bigger person for trying to see the positive after all the lashes Justin's parents have thrown at you. God bless.

[@texasseoul9779]

I’m so sorry. No one’s parents are perfect, but they are still our parents and leave a void when they pass. Praying for peace and healing for y’all ❤️‍🩹

[@stormfaith]

Justin, my condolences on the loss of your dad.

[@Fusemoree]

Sarah you are truly one of a kind and you make me want to be a nicer, more loving person. Im truly in awe of you.

[@chieem8834]

Sarah truly has such a big heart ❤️ condolences to you both and your family

[@deneserogers1233]

Justin your wife has such a beautiful spirit, now that's a good woman. That's the type of woman I'm praying for my children to have. You two are very blessed with a beautiful love! God bless your father's spirit and may he rest in peace. God bless you guys and your family❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@BelovedFlower1]

Hey guys. Justin prayer is how I was able to forgive. I knew I couldn't do it on my own so I prayed everyday to God asking Him to help me and He did.

[@everythingispossible513]

Hugs to you.❤️💚🤗🌹🌹🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@Annsunshine30]

You two are the sweetest couple on the planet! I`m so pleased that Justin went to the party, it was definitely good for him, and I`m pleased that he enjoyed it in his own way. And I`m amazed about your loving nature Sarah. You think of everything and everyone, and you are so forgiving and empatic, it`s so refreshing compared to all everything else that`s going on in this world! 😍

[@rosemaeva2498]

❤❤❤❤❤ 😢😢😢😢😢 ❤❤❤❤❤ VERY VERY SAD FUNERAL 😢😢😢😢😢 YOUR FATHER IS AT REST AND NO MORE PAIN, 😢😢😢 ❤❤❤❤❤ LOVE YOU BOTH AND THE CHILDREN, GOD BLESS YOU 🙌 ❤️ ♥️ 💙 🙌 ALL

[@lindamandis2996]

Thank you for sharing your painful journey with us. Justin, this is not a failure, far from it. Take comfort in the realization that through your continued effort and Sarah’s loving patience, things occurred you never could have dreamed; both your mom and your dad got to be with you and your children! May your dad RIP.

[@cookie22100]

Sorry for your loss, I hope the story of your parents is a lesson learned, that we shouldn't let fear and hate take us over to the point where we miss out on the lives of the ones we love. Happy dad got to meet your kids, but can't help but think about all of the memories he missed out on for such silly reasons.

[@marlynmorgan3658]

We love you too, that's why we always hang around with you! 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cynthia-iz9ew]

Forgiveness takes time, but don't let it mentally destroy you. Take as much time as you need and it will eventually come❤❤❤❤

[@LG_007]

Justin, you are so blessed to have Sarah she has been through difficult times and is such a strong woman! She’s been so wonderful to your family!!!

[@ronicamcphee6555]

You guys have been through a lot. But your kindness and compassionate and love for other people have made you withstand every trial. When you forgive. You free yourself and bring healing to your own soul. You have so much love for your family. Don't worry about things you can't change. Unfortunately for your dad , it's his loss.

[@marcypadrta9177]

I also lost both of my parents to cancer. No words, just HUGS! 💗❤

[@carolehenson6180]

I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I wish he had been more involved with your family over the last 10 years and I wondered if he lived if there would have been more opportunities to become closer. I like to think so and imagine what it would have been like to get to know your children better and be a part of your life. I like to think about what his heart would have opened up to receive and give. Perhaps he will be watching over you. I love the picture of Justin's dad and what Justin felt about it. It was really nice. I am so glad that Sarah was there with you through the transition and burial, what a considerate and loving woman.

[@susans3996]

The task at the time was getting your dad buried. I get it. My condolences to you both. Grief is difficult and different for each person. It will take as long as it will take.

[@terrywalker2437]

Sarah is an amazing person. How many of us would be so kind and caring to people who have treated us the way Justin's parents treated her. God bless you guys and condolences to you.

[@kaicee5463]

I found this definition online for what forgiveness is: “ a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness.” When I say forgive Justin, in no way do i imply that the pain is forgettable.

[@lynnd6305]

I carried unforgiveness in my heart for 50 years. When I finally allowed myself to forgive.... It changed me in so many good ways. Unforgiveness is like being in a cage full of rage. I spoke at a funeral for a woman who had bad relationships with everyone. I spoke on only keeping the love. Bury all the hurts, all the problems, forgive all. I cried when you showed your father's photo i am filled with thankfulness for his life. I'm thankful he helped create you.

[@pepesfrau]

Sarah is a gem. I am so sorry for your loss. In my culture we have a “repast”after a funeral or memorial service. It is a time of celebration of the passed ones life and having a meal.

[@almettat5692]

Even in the saddest moments in time, the family held together for the respect of your father. Blessing, health, love, and prosperity to you both.

[@KarisAvery-uf7eu]

Such a Beautiful Wife with a Good Heart. A Good Son with a True Loving Soul. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@AriesLaZuriUhuru]

Justin, my heart aches for you. I buried my grandfather in 11/17/23 and my grandmother on 12/11/23. Peace be upon your father. Peace be upon our loved ones. I will that you and Sarah lean on each other for love and support. I pray that you, your mom and your sister rebuild your relationship Sending you so much love and healing.

[@Hannahnana-nana89]

I totally started crying with you guys when you guys started crying. 😂 😢 The hospital story with Sarah was adorable about the language barrier. You guys are amazing parents, and you will get through these tough times. Love watching videos about your little family of 5 and all the love Sarah's family shares with you. 🥰🥰

[@jackmedcalf6254]

Sarah, you are such a strong and kind person. There are so many times over the last years when you could have gone very negative but you stayed true to your good heart. I'm so sorry for you loss. Bless you both.

[@jenyshelllopez4423]

Sending you all lots of love. ❤️🫶🏻❤️ Praying that God helps your hearts heal. Aww your dad was a handsome man. My soul hurts for you all, that you didn’t have more time to spend creating memories together. 😔 I hope Justin is able to come to terms and release that hurt within his soul one day. 시간 내주셔서 대단히 감사합니다. Sara, Justin, and family, 사랑합니다 🙇🏻‍♀️❤️🙏🏼❤️🙇🏻‍♀️

[@tessa4710]

Im so sorry for your loss. its hard to mourn for someone who hurt you but is your parent. Im sure that party was what you needed...❤❤

[@lorrainecarelse7860]

I send my deepest condolence to you guys and your families🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ladyhbar_b]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I am very happy that you have a beautiful support system in your wife, kids, and your mom and sister.

[@lexivanguard7319]

Hi Justin, my dad died in February and if it brings you any comfort, I have not been able to cry or feel grief yet. I just can’t really access it. I felt that same stonewall task orientated feeling. I think that you can be compassionate about how long it takes to be able to forgive, or grieve. Sometimes it even takes years in therapy. It’s very deep rooted pain, and the brain buries it deep as a protection mechanism.

[@NTMLungDiseaseINFO]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@lindatoliver2267]

Justin it's fine to go through all the phases of grieving and forgiving. Take your time. It's not something that you can put a time table on. I hope you find your peace.

[@pagevaughn9194]

Justin, I commented before when you talked about your life and acceptance from your family. Hun don't fret about it, it will come. Your parents came from a different time. Everything was always about traditions and following everything parents said. I know what that pain is, although our past and frustrations might completely different. The pain and betrayal feels the same. I had to forgive my Mother to be able to go on in life. Some may understand this, some may not. All I know there is hope! For the time being, keep your mind on your wife and kids. Rejoice in there happiness. If not for your love of your family, They would not be hear. I wish all the blessings, understanding and love. Just know you are not alone. I pray you both come out of this even stronger. Hope you had a beautiful Christmas and Happy New Year!! P.s. Both of you need to count on each other.. You will have many moments of ups and downs.

[@gohmagdelene7855]

You both are a wonderful couple and you have done the best for your dad. The fact that you visited your dad in hospital n saw to his funeral arrangement, shows your love n forgiveness for him. Wish you both all the best for 2024❤

[@lovelyalln1]

I am so sorry for your lost. I know what you're going through because I'm going through it myself. You will go through a lot of emotions. I would suggest to talk to a counselor to help you go through this. I hope you will forgive your dad. Forgiveness isn't for him, its for you. I will continue to pray for you all. Sending love hugs and prayers!

[@Sunshine_day]

Yes Justin, forgiveness is a long process. Being able to vocalize this is the first step of many. It's a daily choice I have to make about a different situation. I have to choose to continue in that process every time the things that happened come back to hurt my mind. There are definitely days now when I can think about the person without the hurt being felt in my heart. Continued prayers for you and your family.

[@pitoufo]

Sarah is a saint. In the flesh. Guuurrrrlllll ! You define patience grace and faith and love.

[@MrsSmithsince08]

I pray for your healing and peace Justin. Sincerely I pray for you and your family. The road may be long, but there is light. You all have been blessed with a beautiful family. Your love and support of each other is so visible, and you sharing your experiences and how you work to communicate and grow with each other will be a blessing to others. I don’t know you personally, but I get emotional. I think for me personally it’s the thought of what your experience might be like. It’s empathy and sympathy I suppose. I get like that even though I absolutely HATE crying 😂 I’ve been learning and working on knowing that I’m okay to cry though 😂😂😂 God bless you all ❤

[@Ninnie021]

Sometimes forgiveness is for ourselves. We can't expect those who has hurt us to give us an apology. As Christians, we forgive and already accept it in our hearts. I pray the both of you will have some peace and cherish the short time you had with him. You will have the rest of your lives to enjoy good company with those who truly loves you ❤️ 🙏🏽

[@pagevaughn9194]

[@MRegis-oh8cl]

I am glad you guys are making progress in getting closer to his family. I am praying that you forget any wrong doing from your father and reconcile with him. Talk to him tell him how you felt hurt, and that you forgive him. Make peace with him and you'll feel better.

[@donnafreso245]

Hi Love Withstanding . I have been watching and supporting you guys from America. I am so so sad but happy that both of you reached out to build a gap with both parents and Justin's sister. Sometime tragic events brings us closer unfortunately. But going forward the bond can build and elevate us all. Happy and sad that you guys continued to push and open up and break through the door and finally got through to Justin's family yeahhh. Love All of your videos wheather it's consistent/ not you try with the time alloted to you. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your life with us all: thank you Sarah and Justin for all that you do

[@cathytauscher6760]

I don’t think Justin needs to forgive his father or his anyone in his family. However that doesn’t mean he needs to stay angry. A 10 year history of what amounts to emotional abuse is a lot to get over. Let’s see what his family does in the next ten years. Hugs to you all ❤

[@rhondaholt76]

[@demijour1234]

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. He is no longer suffering and in a better place and watchinng and guiding all of you now. It is okay that you ddi not cry. Everyone reacts differently. There is no right way or wrong way. It is also okay that you still feel angry or mad about what happened in the past. When you are ready to forgive in your heart, you let htat be on your term You are stil feeling hurt and your feelings are legitmate. The one good thing is your dad got to meet your daughters and your son. That is a huge comfort. Your dad was coming around and that is a positive light. I hope your heart and mind continue to heal. Sending Love, Prayers, and Hugs to you and your family. ❤🙏🫂

[@EvelynJoy]

I really really related to the sharing of the favorite photo of your dad and saying "this is how I choose to remember him". I was astranged from my mom up until she was in the hospital with cancer. I took my 3 small kids at the time to visit her a lot. She died 2 weeks after diagnosis. At the funeral we used a favorite photo I had of her smiling with her pet bird on her shoulder and her cat on her lap. This is how I choose to remember her too. You don't have to excuse the wrongdoings, but you can choose to let go of resentment for your own healing. Hugs!!!

[@Lmsarbs]

My heart goes out to you both. I can't imagine how difficult this is on many different levels. Maybe this will bring the rest of the family closer together & be a blessing Much love to your family 💕

[@cathybarela4304]

Justin & Sara, this video was so touching, Justin I did not know your father and this made me cry. Sara is a very empathetic person, she is so loving and caring I wish your father would have just given her a chance he would have had a loving daughter in law such a shame. I hope your Mom and Sister recognized how much you both love each other and are supportive of your marriage and children. We cannot change the past but we can make the future better for ourselves and your children. We all seem to learn when it is too late. Love you and your family, Bless you all.

[@MegaOmelette12]

Gratefully, forgiveness doesn't require the other person. May you feel the hold of love through this time, as your father rejoins the spirit world.

[@roseharvey2664]

It's obviously hard to lose a parent, especially when there have been difficult times. Just take your time Justin, you always fought to get your parents to accept Sarah and your children. In the end, they have done - perhaps at the most important time. But it doesn't mean you can't be upset or angry about what has happened. Give yourself time to work through things or just give yourself a break from working through things - i am sure this has all been exhausting and emotional. There are many phases to life, you had your childhood family, you have your own family now, and you have always been good to both. I have no doubt that is the way you will continue to be, but it doesn't make everything straightforward. In the end, it is what it is!

[@janicewolk6492]

I am so sorry that your dad has passed away. Please accept my sincere condolences.

[@wands808]

I'm sorry for your loss. I've been watching this channel for many years now and i know this sounds a little silly but i cried watching this.
