This is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. Even in your times of deep grief and sorrow, you are thinking of and helping others in their times of deep grief and sorrow...and those who will experience it one day, as we all will. Thank you for sharing your journey, your love, your compassion. Jayla was and is a beautiful child of God, and her beauty, inside and out, was and is deepened and guided by you, her beautiful mom. My prayer is for healing, finding new normals, and that every child in the world would be loved as deeply as Jayla was and is loved by her mom and family. Psalm 23 💖

[@determinetobe]

Awwww thank you sooooo much! ❤

[@bankish6306]

Thanks for sharing. I was over here crying my eyes out. I remember seeing her in your video and thought you had an awesome relationship with your daughter. Continue to pray 🙏🏽 for you and your family

[@patricemiles4353]

I am just going to say thank you my sister from the depths of my soul, for this video. I watch your channel because I love bags too. I think I binge watched your videos one day. So I met your daughter there. I am going to stop there because I know and can empathize. Grief has plagued me since 2019 and KZbin was the start of my safe place . I would just watch purse wimb videos or anything related to that. I just lost my youngest daughter to mental illness and all that goes with that😞. Then most recently my Mom who was my best friend in life. So I will pray for you but please pray for me as we fight this thing called grief. I ran across this video for a reason today I had not seen it until today. I knew when you daughter passed but just now seeing this. So please have a blessed day on this day whenever you you see this post. Love to you. Patrice Miles❤

[@Mrsquick]

I'm so sorry for your loss. What you shared about your angel tells us all how much of an amazing young lady she was. I came to your channel because of my love for handbags. Yet, I received a powerful and helpful message about life and grief. Sharing your story gave me comfort in knowing that the feelings I am going through aren't isolated. Thank you for allowing us into your space. One day at a time when you're ready. Have an amazing day. ❤🙏🏾

[@CraftyMomma05]

[@kaybee473]

Thank you for sharing Mrs. Michele. I'm praying for you and your family.

[@vickiemiller4108]

I am so very sorry for your loss. Some days it’s okay if all you can do is breathe. I learned this from my own grief journey. You are a strong beautiful woman of The Lord. You, your daughter and your family are beautiful loving people. I can see it even in photos. I’ve read a lot of the comments on this video. You have touched many of us. I believe that I know some of the amazing women (your purse sisters) who are your support group from watching you alls’ KZbin WIMB videos. I’m glad for you to have them. Many blessings to you. 🙏🏻🫶

[@determinetobe]

Thanks so much❤

[@moknowsbeauty]

Michelle I commend you for being able to speak out and talk to us about this difficult journey. You’re so right, everyone handles grief differently. God really has His arms around you and I pray that He continues to guide you through this process. Your necklace is so beautiful ❤. I love you so much sister. Virtual hug for now but we will have to have lunch very soon🤗🙏🏾.

[@MzTT1018]

Heartfelt! I truly understand exactly how you feel! I still struggle on special days and almost every Saturday! When you said “ I miss being her mom” I felt that in my soul! I love you Sis! I’m always praying for you❤

[@determinetobe]

Thanks Sis! You know we have a bond and I’m grateful for it! Keep pushing my sister! Call me anytime! ❤

[@djking247]

I commend you for your strength. There is no words I can say to know what you are going through. Grief is different for everyone. I totally understand when you can not come on KZbin. Life is first before KZbin any given day. Taking care of you is first every day. Your baby girl is with you every second watching over you and the family. She will be with you on your graduation day as well cheering you on. You are so strong to just be able to reflect on everything. It is something that no one ever knows to prepare for or be able to get over. Praying for you and family every day. Hugs to you and now I need a tissue just remembering seeing you that day.

[@afenistones2276]

My deepest condolences for your loss. I hope you sharing this will aid you getting some ease throughout this difficult Journey. Continued prayers for easier days ahead.

[@Leomom88]

[@Mrs.PBanks]

My deepest condolences. I recently just found you a few months ago. This just hit my heart so hard. You will remain in my prayers. It's hard! Keeping it together can is so hard. Our oldest grandson was murdered he was only 14 years old. It's been 3 weeks. Our daughter hasn't moved. So we are helping with her other children. I cry alone to not overwhelm everyone else with my grief. It hits us all at different times. Because we don't know..... why? 😢😢😢And it hurts so much. Thank you so much for sharing this. You have such beautiful heart. ❤ 😢

[@determinetobe]

OMG!! I’m so sorry to hear this!!!!! Please consider a good grief counselor! It has been my saving grace! There are several stages of grief that I was not aware of and it helps to know these stages so you won’t think you are crazy or losing your mind. Lord my hurt goes out to your daughter, you and the entire family! Death affects everyone in the family! The hole in her heart takes up your whole chest. The numbness, the sleepless nights, etc. It’s a LOT to endure but just take it day by day, hour by hour and minute by minute. Sending you my deepest condolences. If there is anything I can do to help you or your daughter please let me know.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@NothingButBags]

When you said, He is a mind regulator!!!!! You said a WHOLE message. Because if it were not for Him there are times I would have lost MY entire mind. I can’t IMAGINE your loss. I am in awe of you. I am grateful to God for blessing you with so many beautiful experiences & memories of her. So many awesome pictures you can pull in your mental Rolodex to bring you joy. I pray God pour even the more joy from thoughts of her. New subbie. Keeping you & your family lifted up in my prayers. 💜💜💜💜💜

[@champ626]

🙏🏾❤ Thank you for the update. Thank you for such a powerful, heartfelt, inspiring video. I was so intently listening I never noticed a green light until you mentioned it, then I didn't notice it again because I went back to focusing on what you were saying. Like you, I wouldn't wish this on anyone. But if I know someone is going through this I will share your video with them. ❤

[@Amazn_warrior]

I thank you so much for this video my son was murdered in 2020, also in 2022 my mother passed. I suffer with depression, anxiety and my grief level is so high. I truly feel your pain. I cry almost everyday and even though I smile, I’m struggling. I love you and I’m sending hugs and prayers your way. 🙏🏽💞 God has truly encouraged you to make this video to help others such as myself. I still have to take care of family during my time of grief, so I’m continuing to grieve silently and all I can do is ask The Lord to strengthen me and Bless my heart ❤️ TFS 🙏🏽

[@tashahartman38]

Sending you so much love and prayers 🫶🏾🙏🏾. I’m so glad to see you doing so much better. I know it’s not easy o know it’s hard. Please allow yourself to grieve. I haven’t lost anyone that close thank goodness but my husband lost his mother. That was the closest I’ve been to loss. Everything you said is 100% what I see him go through. She lived with us due to an auto accident she was paraplegic. So her bedroom we kept closed for a year and my husband found the courage to go in there and clean it out. With that said we kept a bag of her clothes. ❤❤thank you for this video because I’m sure it’s going to help someone in their time of fried.

💙💙🌼🌺 Keep talking about her 🌺💛

[@PSAPublicShoppingAddict]

So heart warming to see you speak of your beautiful Jayla, her spirit is real and there. How does one get over it, my goodness you don't, you just adjust to walk differently, breathe differently, wake up in the morning differently, go to sleep differently. I really truly believe talking about her is the best best therapy for your heart, love to see your smile when you speak of her. I can never imagine the loss of a child. Love how Jayla in spirit is doing a wonderful auntie role! Only hugs and thank you for sharing wonderful pictures and memories of her. God bless you both!! XO

[@4theluvofmakeup]

❤First and foremost, my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I watched your beautiful video of Jayla who was/is beautiful inside and out. There is no rhyme or reason as to why😓I give you credit as you are dealing as best you can.. I feel your sincerity and your beautiful ❤️.. I lost my 37y/o son July of 2022. He was my only son and my youngest. I live with the struggle of loss daily. As you say, some days are better than others. I have 2 daughters, 42 and 45.. I have also adopted my son's daughter.. ages 8 and 9.. They give me strength to live my life.. Thank you for sharing your Jayla with us . I will look for your updates . GOD BLESS🙏

My deepest condolences 😢. I found your channel because of the bags, but this was meant for me to see right now. God knows what he's doing. I lost my nephew to a motorcycle accident just over 1 month ago. He was older than your daughter, but still a young man. May God help us 🙏 and continue to give us strength. 🤗

[@mimi_hugs6957]

Thank you for sharing this journey. I knew you had lost your beautiful daughter, Jayla, and often prayed when you went "missing." I felt you were grieving. I can't even comprehend the sorrow, but it's so good to know the memories of your relationship with her are much more often than the sad memories. You are a beautiful soul, and your joy when sharing your bags puts a smile on my face. Much love, Michelle. I am certain Jayla is looking down on you and very proud you're her mother. 💜🙏😍

[@MrsQuesFavoriteThings]

I’m so glad to know that you’re doing well. Grieving is a process in many people have different ways of grieving. You are correct, no one can tell you how long to grieve as everyone heals differently. I believe it’s harder when you lose a child versus a parent because parents don’t think that they will outlive their children continuing to pray for you and your family strengthen healingMrs. Q

Hi @determinetobe! Thank You for sharing with us what seems to be a very emotionally transparent reality.

I only pray that God continues to wrap his holy arms around you when you need him, that God continues to Bless you and your family with people who will surround you with Love, Humor, and Sincerity...❤❤❤ I'm grateful for you and your handbag channel...🥰🥰🥰 God Bless You...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🫶🏾🥰🥰🥰🫶🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
