My dad passed away from liver cancer | Why I haven't been posting lately

[@ela.k1708]

Dear Heather, so sorry for your loss 💔. I have to say how impressed I am with you as a person, as a woman. You are truly an inspiration, strong and totally empowering. You have created such an amazing life for yourself cause you chose to. NO EXCUSES. To rise above what you endured as a child, your family history and to be so caring and genuine speaks volumes. You have the right to grieve, even angry and the right to some time to compose all your thoughts. Come back to do what makes you happy. Thank you for sharing and being human like the rest of us. 😻💗

I'm so sorry, Heather. The grief I felt when my father passed was much worse than I expected it to be -- I still cry when a random memory appears or a hear a certain song. I am thinking of you and know that you are not alone, and you are loved. Be well my friend.

[@jakea1035]

So very sad to hear your news. With best wishes for a healing period.

[@lauraleigh7209]

I am so proud of you. I appreciate how hard it is to share your grief. Thank you.

Sorry für your loss ❤

[@NicyDelValle]

My condolences for your loss. My mom went through a liver transplant about a year ago and it was tough. Very hard, life changing hard. I feel a little of PTSD for everything we all went through. I also can relate about you hoping your relationship with your dad getting better and now knowing that will never happen. In my case, I went through that with my husband. He has Aspergers as well, and he has a hard time talking about his feelings and other things... it is hard when you realize that you'll never had the relationship you wanted/needed... is like another loss. Sending prayers and hugs! ❤️❤️❤️

My deepest sympathy for your loss. Hope you feel better soon. Big hugs to you and Nigel.

So sorry for your loss. I lost mom to metastatic cancer shortly after COVID. It took years to get over that. Be kind to yourself 💝💐

[@karenwaymeyer165]

I’m so sorry. I lost both parents to cancer. It’s rough. I will keep you in my prayers. ❤

[@dianegiffen8557]

I am so sorry about your dad. I had a feeling you were overwhelmed with a lot of things. It's understandable you were living more privately while going through all this. 😥

[@pollymobley8095]

So sorry for your loss ❤

[@paulacoyle5685]

I’m so sorry heather.😢💔 it’s hard to watch your parents leave this world. Hugs to you as you grieve.

[@jecriggs]

I'm so sorry, Heather. I recently went through something similar, so I know how much it hurts, even though you've made peace with it. More or less. Hugs.

[@GuetVL]

My sincere condolences, Heather. I understand what you are going through. I lost my mother three years ago last month, and I wish things would have been better between us before she passed. There is/was so much left undone. I pray that you find peace. 🙏

[@Hopadopperartist]

What an insightful and touching testimony of your struggles. I so truly wish you the best along the path of recovery from the trauma of loosing someone that you loved. It will take time for you to feel anyways towards normal but it will happen. God Bless you!

[@GiniaHarris]

Oh Heather, I’m so sorry for your loss. I know memories of the time you had with your Dad as hard as it was will give you comfort and closure. Hugs!

[@allisoninnova]

So sorry for your loss. I resonate with a lot of your dad grief. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@deirdrewagner8628]

Blessings to you Heather. Condolences for your loss.

[@annettegarrison1271]

I am so sorry. Keeping you in my prayers.

[@soldkingdom]

Sorry about your dad ❤ I love the way you speak, always have. Thanks for the vulnerable strength.

[@SIMARSONG]

Heather, I feel and know your pain. I lost my mom in March and the devastation is real. --all the what could have been smack me in the face at any given moment. God bless you.

[@terrysuemakesvideosforyou9940]

We are proud of you!!! I have been hoping that you would post something about your dad and how things are going since the big move. I am so sorry for your loss. Grief will take as long as it takes. Please be kind to yourself. you are a wonderful person and daughter. There are always regrets when someone close to us passes away no matter the circumstance. I am sending you love and healing prayers. We will be here to watch if you post a video. Take all the time that you need! It sounds like you have been super involved with your job and travel. Sometimes it is good to be going and going but take time to decompress. I hope that you have a good week and a better month ahead. You are a sweetheart!

[@nereidofdoom]

My condolences and I’m so sorry, Heather. ❤️ from Sirena.

[@kimberlinsprague6369]

So sorry Heather😞

[@barbarawaite5395]

Godspeed to your dad, Heather. I so wish you'd had more time with him, but it wasn't in the cards, eh? I I've heard it said we're spiritual beings having a human experience, and I like to think that when we leave this plane of existence, we're made whole and all our ills are healed. My mother, who's been bed-bound in a nursing home for the last ten years of her life, passed at the end of January. It gives me comfort to believe that not only can she walk again now, she can fly if she wants to. I'm gathering with my family over Mother's Day weekend for her memorial service and to scatter Mom's and Dad's ashes. I will be speaking at the service and hopefully I will be able to approximate your skill at that.

[@sallyanon5382]

My condolences for your loss.

[@DiannainSoCal]

Heather, sending my condolences to you, Nigel and your family. This is one of the most difficult experiences in life, and I'm so sorry for your loss. Grieving is important and allows us to move forward - eventually. May you and Nigel support each other during this time and become even stronger together! Love and sympathies from So Cal.

[@LizLyonsPhD]

This was a soul plumbing video, Heather. I was giving you and Nigel space to re-locate, and knew it was partially related to your dad's health, but didn't know these details. It is still very new for you, so take it easy and slow. I experienced a full year of shock and mourning when each of my parents died, two years apart. I left FB six years ago for a few reasons, so I have been out of your loop. Give yourself all the time you need to experience these emotions. I am dealing with mine by writing a detailed "memoir", for lack of a better term. That is helpful, even if no one ever reads it. I feel we owe you a great deal through wigs and through attempting to understand life itself, together, with you and Nigel. I am here and plan to be whenever you are. Hugs 😣😽

[@joycemelo9803]

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you

[@pameliam4024]

Ohhhh, Heather! My heart is aching for you 🥺💔. My tears join with yours. I pray that you will feel the sweet spirit of the Comforter and that angels will attend you as you grieve this huge loss. May the Lord be with you and Nigel. You have my love.

[@debraenglander9317]

So sorry for your loss

[@Rae_HairUAre]

I am sorry I missed this news at the time. My sincere sympathy. I have just passed the first year of my father's passing. I've done very little in that year. Grieving takes a lot out of us. I know you moved to spend time, you are a good daughter, and a caring human. Double grieving (what was, and what can never be) is so tough indeed. I think I had more of that with my mother, since her passing was without warning, over in a matter of weeks, and without closure. This is my ASD sharing to connect/identify. I hope you are doing well.

[@CysterWigs]

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, Rae. I also think you're right: when it's unexpected it's like a double gut punch. I take comfort in knowing that this is a universal human emotion. Even with ASD, you and I are still empathetic, caring people capable of experiencing profound loss. I have my good days and my not so good days. Usually, when it rains I can almost guarantee I'm in for a crying jag. If you were here (and ok with the contact) I would offer you a hug! Thank you for reaching out. I hope that you are being compassionate towards yourself if you still have bad days too.

[@ritalambert8323]

Thank you for sharing. I can relate with what you said. Hoping you doing this video helps in your grief. Life is such a painful and beautiful process for those of us who are willing to work through it by acknowledging, reaching out for support and sharing with others. I’m grateful and I know you’ll be okay. Our Lord will give you strength and comfort as you continue on. I’ll be praying for you. 🙏

[@colleengiese]

Heather, Nigel i miss the positive activity, raw humor, & any new wigs coming out. Have relied on that Grayson wig in sooo many great colors for about 2-3 years now. Am hoping that your new place is feeling just-right. Maybe one day soon a live cocktail yt stream will come forth. You both hold a divine space in my heart. I recall how Nigels hip broke a year after mine healed. Plus how your personally designed wig lines are the most low cost available with the good fibers and up to date color shades. Anyhow, thanks for the love & good hair. Live stream one day, ok?! Heart❤

[@karenadamson6715]

I am so sorry for your loss of your Dad. I lost my Mom almost a year ago. It is a big deal to lose a parent and you need time to heal.❤

[@Im-Perfectly-Imperfect]

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my baby brother to complications due to alcoholism. My heart goes out to you. May he rest peacefully. ❤

[@MoonfishSparkle]

Hi Heather. So sorry for the loss of your dad. Hugs to you.

[@joannewisemiller25]

Hi Heather - I hope you are starting to feel better. I lost my dad last year, and it was a tough process. I just wanted you to know that I love your wig videos! I am new to wig wearing, and you have been the best at giving pertinent details, like how certain caps fit and color nuances. Hope to see you posting in the future. Best regards, Joanne

[@CysterWigs]

Thank you, Joanne. I am sorry for your loss and wish you love and healing too.

[@megankelly998]

My boyfriend who passed away a few years ago was from Ohio. He died from an accidental overdose in March 2021. He used to complain about the weather in Ohio lol I have been there a few times but the weather was nice at the time I went. I liked it there. I also moved back home after being in Texas the last couple years. Just started watching your videos as I am dealing with hair loss and I have hormonal issues as well. Grief is something that you have to experience to really understand and everyone deals with it differently. I feel like death is something in American culture that isn’t dealt with in a healthy way compared to other cultures.

[@juliemoses1909]

My dad went to the ER with chest pain and after a day of tests, they recommended a stent. He’d had a stent before, didn’t think that was fun and walked out of the hospital. Well, if he had been admitted, Medicare would have paid for everything. So, then my dad is mad at the hospital when he got a bill for the ER. I feel for you. Parents can be pretty hard to deal with. Sorry for your loss.

[@revfairbro6365]

Condolences for your loss.

Been there, done that. We should swap stories one day!
