My Widow Journey After Losing Everything

[@lorettahiggins3717]

I am a subscriber of Brooke Whipple and found your channel in my feed. I became a widow 8 1/2 years ago when I was 55. We had been together for 30+ years. In a 2 1/2 year period, I lost my brother, dad, mom and husband. I was in a grief coma for about two years. I wasn't living, just existing. When you said, "I lost my past, present & future" when your husband died - that hit me HARD. That is exactly what I felt for a very long time. When I finally started to move forward, started a pet sitting business and joined the world again, I began to be able to find my joy again. I am in AWE of the fact that you've chosen to fulfill your (& your husband's) dream on your own. Consider me not only a subscriber, but a kindred soul on this often lonely road of widowhood. Thank you for allowing us to join you on your journey. Sending hugs of support from PA.

Found you through Brooke. I am so very, very sorry for your loss - my sister (my best friend) lost her husband at age 45 - heart attack, sudden - our lives changed dramatically. I love hearing your journey and seeing your accomplishments! You are awesome (so is my sister)! One day at a time..... I will be watching your amazing adventure!

[@micmacpole]

I took Brooke's advice and followed your channel. I lost my wife of 26 years on March 28th of this year. Take comfort in knowing that Ryan followed his heart and dreams and that he spent the rest of his life with you. I believe that those of us who are left behind gain a guardian angel that will walk with us for our remaining days and nights. We too have 10 acres and I will continue to improve and give to my grandchildren some day so they will have a head start in life. I will follow your journey as God has plans for all of us as we take one day at a time. God Bless you in building your adventure and fulfilling your dream homestead. I hope you get lots of subscribers and build a nice video archive like the Whipples have.

[@billiegoodman4872]

Scribed after Brooke introduced you. You are beautiful, strong, determined and I’m looking forward to following on your journey. Stay mighty, brave one!🙏❤️🙏

[@pjchermack]

I just found your channel as you were in a video on the channel called A Girl in the woods Brooke Whipples channel as I am a subscriber of her channel. I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your husband. YES he would want you to continue your dream! Keep going sweetheart you’ve got this I believe in you!! Here is a saying that I’ve kept with me for years on my refrigerator it’s says the following: Shoot For The Moon 🌙 Even If You Miss, You’ll Land Amongst The Stars ⭐️ May God to help to support, and protect you! Sending positive vibes and positive vibes from rural Minnesota ❤

[@Tam-Solo70]

💔Oh Caitlyn..that sob of yours…so heart breaking. I am so sorry for this pain. I am watching this a year late. 😭 You’re a strong woman and that was a big loss for you. Giving you love and support from one woman to another. ❤💪🏻

[@gf3803]

So sorry for your loss. Ryan would have been proud of what you've accomplished.

[@Ajax-yz4vb]

I feel your pain. I lost my wife of 30 years 6 months ago. I have many of the same feelings you are expressing. Praying for you and your journey.

[@suze6083]

Oh sweetie, I don’t know you…I don’t know why this video showed up for me today; however, I’ve grieved for many years and I know that “grief is love with no place to go”. Yet, with time it will shift from every second of the day, to minutes, to hours and after a while days…it’ll always hurt, my dear, but you will start to look for a laugh and not feel guilty because you haven’t cried. Bless your heart! Life is going to insert itself in between those moments of grief and feeling low. And slowly but surely it will create the much needed distance to this life altering moment. I truly wish you all the strength and luck in this world and hope that you will find comfort and happiness in Alaska! Stay strong…yes, you have a lot of life left to live and from someone who had to bounce back many times “there are a thousand reasons to live this life and every one of them is sufficient”. All the best to you!

[@lorraineleschinsky8616]

You're bringing me back. When I was 22 my husband died. He was 23. I cried and cried. It made me sick to hear people laughing or see the sun shine. My world was gray and black. It took many years. Our daughter was 18 mo. old when he died. You have no choice but to keep going. It hurts though. Love to you. He would want you to be happy. ❤❤❤

[@debwalsh6473]

This video brings me back to my best friend who became a widow at 28 with 5 little kids. He was her world and it came crashing down all at once. He was 36 and she was 28. It was horrible. I feel your pain and your strength. I admire your resolve and resilience. One day you will,ove again. My friends story had a bittersweet ending. She was having her basement finished and the carpenter fell in love with her and her 5 kids. They got married and have been married for 35 yrs now.

[@lisak.9007]

I just subscribed to your channel after watching you on Girl in the Woods just now! So deeply sorry for your loss and I am so proud of you for moving forward with your dream for the both of you! 💖

[@kennethmccarthy3208]

So very sorry for your loss. In Feb 12, 2022 my wife of 40 years passed away after recovering from a double lung transplant at Stanford hospital here in California. She was on 4 life support machines keeping her alive when on the 12th of Febuary I had the machines turned off. I hugged her and kissed her goodby till her heart stopped. So I know what your going through. Your in my prayers.

[@joannacurran8475]

My guy died of cancer 6.5 years ago. You hit it on the head when you said you lose your past, present and future. All dreams go. I am now 73 but we had dreams, a wooden cabin in a rainforest...plent of land with it. We had decided to go up there for a substantial length of time to do what we needed, just like you. He went on his 'last' trip - he worked anti-narcotics in South America. He never came back as he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and did not want me to see him in his depleted state. He was so strobg, physically and mentally, I never thought he would die. His letters stopped - I was officially informed - time stopped still and has not really moved on. Yes. We are fine to the world - I do what has to be done but my house has been flooded, I sorted that but it has not been cleaned in over 2 years. I plan what I really must do tomorrow but it is hard to get up so maybe I do 1 or 2 hours, so am more or less standing still.....

[@Susan-o7i2e]

So here I sit, watching KZbin videos, having a pity party, and after watching the first video about when Ryan passed and then watching more of your videos about how strong you are, and how you have persevered and making your dream come true, has really really inspired me to get off my butt and get my life going. I’ve been in a rut for two years and watching you has really helped me feel like I can have a life again and move on. Thank you so much for sharing your life I for one really appreciate it so very much.

[@ldygzlle1291]

I lost my Mr Wonderful to cancer in October 2019. Then the pandemic hit and I lost any chance of keeping our home so I sold it and moved into a van. I looked for a place to land and after 3 years finally bought 117 acres in Virginia. I’m still technically homeless until I can get a septic system in and be able to use the address, but like you said, one step at a time. But I have a place to park and start over. I’m working out of state right now but I can’t wait to get back to my new “home “. The grief of being so alone in the world is crushing sometimes, especially in a crisis. I’m working as a home health aide taking care of a patient who is dying.I would love to find love again but it’s not likely. I subscribed.

[@joelgoody3590]

As a follower of Brooke and Dave, came across vid with Brooke. I feel for you, such a devastating and sudden loss. But know that Ryan is looking down from heaven and he is proud of you! I believe that in my heart. You keep on being strong, and build that house, Ryan would of wanted you to see it through. Time heals wounds, maybe not perfectly, but it gets better. Good luck! Look forward to future vids!

[@lilstepnoel]

I came to your channel because of Brooke. I came with tears in my eyes because I too lost my husband 4 months after your husband passed away. I still cry big tears over losing him. I think he must be so proud of you for going forth and accomplishing the dream you both had. Be safe and God bless you.❤

[@Appreciate2704]

You never loose your past .. I lost my 7 year old son .. dropped him off at school and he died that day .. never again did I see him .. life goes forward .. a child gone.. a life lost 😔..grief is ongoing .. it’s a roller coaster for life .. remember the good 😊 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

My husband passed away when i was 33, our child 5. I died that day too. All we did, all our dreams, projects, future vacations - all was gone in one moment. I still think that my future died that night. I live for my daughter, i never lived myself from then on. Its 11 years of not living. I am dead. And unfortunately i know i would not be normal again. My body lives

[@DR-pw2rh]

You are a great woman. I wish you find peace.

[@juergenzenner4219]

Brook said, let’s blow your Chanel… so here I’m. He sit on a cloud, scratch his head, smile and watch you from there. I will be so proud of your courage and achievement!!! Congratulations, RESPECT and greetings from Australia ❤

[@arlandmann106]

I am so sorry for your loss. You are truly an inspiration to everyone! God Bless You!!!

[@jackhawk8952]

I feel your pain... My wife of 18 years suffering from mental illness walked out on my ten year old son and myself and have no idea where she is or what she is doing... Our plan is to move to Alaska in a few months to start a new life... We look at it as if she passed because the person we knew is gone forever... It's really hard to watch my son go through it...

I want to help. But I cant. Im in denmark. But how I feel your pain

[@carolcopley3639]

The price we pay for such deep love is deep grief when that special person is no longer by our side. Please be strong. You are strong and loved. I wish you all the good blessings ❤

[@countrysister700]

Another widow here. Hugs to all 🤗

[@TheFabFarmer]

The hardest part about losing your life partner is the slow burn inside. You grieve with each new loss: the loss of their smell from their pillow on the bed, letting go of having their toothbrush next to the sink, their shoes on the porch, the mug in the cupboard. The small things that become so huge!

[@ShinyNickelBlades]

I should have known better than to watch this, now I'm full on crying 😭. I was already brought to tears from Brooke's video, but I had to come watch your story because I can relate to what happened to your husband. It's been almost 20 years for me, and we had three kids. Watching this video of you going through the grief felt like I was watching myself. I am so sorry for your loss. What you are doing is a true inspiration.

[@Whiskeyandwrenches]

Found you through Brooke,all I can say is you are an amazing woman. Subscribed.

[@wendefahey]

I lost my husband right around the same time you lost Ryan. I sat here crying with you. I swore i wouldn't allow his death to steal what's left of my life. I've been living off grid on private property for 5 months now. They have been the hardest 5 months. But not as hard as walking up every day without my best friend. You have shown me that what I'm doing is just as incredible as what you are doing. I feel like I'm simply doing my best to survive this and yet, i watch you and realize that if I'm inspired by you, i also should be inspired by me. Thank you for being so authentic about your journey and illuminating that widowhood isn't the end. Sending you so much love and compassion 🫂🩵

[@allanmcisaac9648]

So today I started binge watching your channel until I got to this video and realizing your best friend passed away my prayers go to you. I know it’s been a year . There’s a lot of people that will be watching your videos to help in supporting your journey. Thank you for sharing.

[@PaleRider559]

I found this channel from a video on "Girl in the Woods". Knowing part of your story, before coming here, I started by watching a few videos with your husband, and they were heart wrenching... he was so excited about your Alaskan adventures. Your decision to go forward with your dreams is very inspiring... especially after such a devastating tragedy. My thoughts, sympathy, Prayers and praises go out to you, as I continue to watch you on your journey.

[@hankgriffin5397]

You are so awesome, I’m 70 now and wished I did what your doing, my wife and I think your a real woman! Best of luck. 😊

[@janetbransdon3742]

G'day from Australia... girl in the woods brought me here. I am in awe of you and sending you so much love and the very best of everything. God bless. 🐨🦘🐾

[@DustyBottomBoysAK]

As a man who has endured a similar experience, I have to say that you're doing the right thing. You are well ahead of me on your journey, but my sons and I will make it in due time. Be sure to keep your focus on your unlimited future, rather than on your loss. I know that's a tender subject, and a very personal one, as everyone is different. One thing that I learned very early on is that though I lost her, she lost more than anyone. It is a way of shifting your perspective in a positive way. I know this video is older, and you seem to be doing much better now, I hope that continues and I'll be following along as we become "neighbors". Best wishes for a bright future. -Dusty

[@andyhuber1728]

I’m so sorry for your loss! I just started watching your cabin build and you are doing very well considering. Ryan would be very proud.

[@terrifiorelli9819]

15 yrs. Later after suffering the same loss, I still cry for our life. You absolutely gain strength in the heartbreak and push dreams we had together to keep them alive moving forward. There is no fear as dying in trying would actually be a relief to end the grief. Pushing forward is what they would want for us to live our dream.

[@tailgatecarpenter26]

Just subscribed. Our losses make us stronger eventually. I was down for about four years after losing my wife of 36 years before changing course. You're doing great.

[@virginiagreen8564]

I am so so very sorry sweethart for your sweet loss of your sweet Husband and I will be praying for God to touch you and be with you.

[@ronaldmoilien4102]

November 20th 2024. I have to admit, I just discovered your web site and I have started watching your adventures. I know what it feels like to lose your spouse. My wife took her life 16 years ago and left me with two boys to raise, age 8 and 3. You have my deepest sympathy, and my utmost respect for what you are doing with your life and your dreams!! You are an inspiration to everyone!! I love your videos and your story really hits home!! Continued strength to you and may God be with you every step you continue to take!! God bless!🙏🙏🙏

[@johninalaska9563]

Hi, I just came across your channel and saw this video. I am so sorry for your loss, I know how it feels to lose someone close to you. My loss was Dec. 4th 1968, I lost my two best friends and shipmates when we came under fire in Vietnam. I admire your tenacity to still hold on to your dream. I saw you taking down those trees and I know you will succeed in finishing your dream. I will give your channel a shoutout, hopefully it will help you. Thanks for sharing with everyone.

[@Colorado_Avocado]

I’m so sorry you lost your best friends. Vietnam was so horrible and all of you who served deserved so much better than what you got.

[@katherinehunter3790]

I am so sorry for your loss, I too found you through Brooke, she's so awesome and you are too Caitlyn. Sending lots of hugs your way ♥

[@MikePorter-df5vl]

So sorry for your loss, l feel your pain. I'm gonna be selling off everything that l don't need , so l can move to south western Tennessee. The only things I'll bring with me is gonna be my freezer, my tools, camper, & motorcycle with my truck. I'll leave those down there & come back to get my car, then my new life will begin building my homestead off-grid.ill have a shed for my motorcycle , freezer, & tools built before l go get my car, but a place to sleep when l return. My goal is to build half of the house at first, then get materials around to build the other half the next year. My body cannot take all the snow & real cold weather anymore after my fall off my garage roof, 18 ft. With broken ribs, twisted knee, & almost separated hips along with a torn tendon out of my elbow. The dr's told me that l am lucky to be alive. I wanna live in a peaceful setting, away from neighbors sight. I grew up on a farm growing up, but I'm gonna get a late start with my dream of owning a homestead. Being 62, l got my dream to fulfill & it's gonna come true. Keep up the amazing work you're doing, I'm looking forward to see your dream completed dear.

[@pam3906]

I'm very sorry. I also lost my husband Feb 2021 nothings been the same it took me 2 years to come back to reality We are stronger than we know but it's sad to have to learn it this way. Bless you.

[@imzanawlto3070]

found you through a comment on wild homestead - sorry for your loss - it's been some time now since this video came out - but I am subscribing and will follow your journey of finding your life after Ryan. Good luck.

[@gladys763]

I'm so glad that I watched the girl in the woods.

[@sigridbrockenhuus]

I feel your pain. I lost the love of my life. She died in 2007. She was everything to me and It changed me. I was single for 11 years after that. I had no interest in anyone else. No dating, no causal anything; I just didn't want it. Then I put myself out there in 2018 and met someone that made me feel again. On 03 December 2022 I lost her too. I do not have it in me for a third round you know. I am trapped in the state of Kansas in an old house I own here. I am just all over the place - my mind racing all the time. I bought 5 acres in Alaska, but I do not know what to do with it now. I think one day soon I am just going to pack up my car, lock my house here and drive there and then just figure it out once I am there. Baby steps though. I just got to a point where I can manage but there are still days I just break down and fall apart. I absolutely empathize with you and your story made me cry...I hope you get to find happiness again.

[@DustyBottomBoysAK]

Hi, I have had one experience like that, I simply cannot imagine two. I completely understand the "no interest" part you mentioned. We had talked about Alaska, but had nothing set in place, then, without warning, everything changed. Since then I decided that nothing was going to hold me back any longer. I was turning circumstance into opportunity. My sons and I have not made it yet. Right now I'm halfway packed but stuck in a similar way as you mentioned. I hope that since you made this comment that you have been able to make progress on your dream. Best wishes. -Dusty

[@BUBBLESPOGO]

Im.sorry but you aren't the only one. Many people have suffered lose. It's very hard. Life can be very sad.k

[@marilynbridges8697]

I am so sorry you have had such pain. I cannot imagine going through this twice. The hardest parts have been the death of dreams and the emptiness...

[@DonH-lk8hd]

My heart goes out to you. I lost my girlfriend of 20 years 2 1\2 years ago. I am still struggling to this day. I have isolated myself from everyone and having trouble keeping a job. Enough about me, keep your faith keep moving towards your dreams. Good luck.!!!

[@tailgatecarpenter26]

I was laid off from a heartless company the day after I took my wife of 36 years off life support. That was in 2017. I found work with another company and then another for three years until the pandemic started. That forced me into retirement for a while yet I am now working 3/4 time doing well. You can do this. Find work and focus on keeping the next job. In grief there is a need to compartmentalize your thoughts. That's how I manage being a widower.

[@susanalexander1892]

Can’t wait to see your next video for your Alaska build. Keep you dream alive!!! I love it! ❤❤❤❤

[@michaelahlgren8876]

This is profound. I admire your strength, I admire your perseverence, I admire you. I too have 10 acres and the challenges are daily to keep things moving forward. You, on the other hand are starting from literally scratch. Working a job, and then working your land. You seem to have such a strong spirit within you. I found your channel through Brooke as many of us have and decided to follow your journey. Thank you for sharing your life. The highlights, the lowlights, the struggles, the happiness and the sadness. My prayers are that the sun will always shine for you when you need it most. Thanks again, and keep up the great work you are doing. You are not only displaying your talent at building a homestead, but also giving hope to countless people whose lives have been unexpecedtly changed. Brove to you.

[@Victor.McCann]

I was 17 and lost everything I never moved forward until I was 48 and I still carry the grief of losing her 😢❤ Iove your channel Thank you for your story

[@Ribberflavenous]

I am a new subscriber, from Brooke's referral, clearly not the only one. My sympathies for your terrible loss. I read the comments and it is beautiful how you have people sharing their stories in support. I have a different viewpoint as I am now a 64yo man who has been lucky enough to avoid the loss of a family member, which I realize is against the odds. What you shared reminds me how dangerous it is to become complacent and assume those you love know how you feel about them, how important the last thing you say to them really is. I also want to express my admiration for not giving up and continuing the adventure. I have been kind of binging your past videos, including those with Ryan and I hope to watch many future ones of your life full of realizing your dreams (and even your struggles). You have guts and heart, certainly worthy of all that life has to offer. I wish you peace and courage, but mostly happiness. Be well.

[@matthewmutch7853]

YOU ROCK!!!!!

YOU are a gorgeous soul. I'm so sorry for your loss! YET.. I'm thankful that another human being has taken heart-breaking loss, and turned it into moving forward with success.

[@kayashmore4296]

You are a beautiful strong woman with a dream that will keep you on track. I'm old enough to be your Grandma. While you were telling your story I wished I could reach through my phone & wrap my arms around you & let you cry on my shoulder. I'm a widow now for 4 years & I don't think grieving gets any easier with age. We just see a lot more deaths as we age. I have watched several of your videos & you are amazing. I can't believe the things you have tackled & accomplished. You can do this just don't take risks you know are beyond your strengths. I'm sure you can get someone to help with the toughest of things. Will keep watching you live your dream.

[@betsylaughlin8652]

Your story touches my heart🙏Life is so challenging, it’s so impulsive to be gentle with ourselves and one another.

There are some fb groups that really helped as well because it truly is a one man journey. Look at those groups and see if they are applicable to them. Some are dating groups, some are for older folks or younger. I was in love still lives I think. It might still be around, but that was 8 years ago and it may have changed since then.

Thank you! I'm going to give it my all.

I probably shouldn't have watched this one at work, but thank KZbin for putting it in my feed. I am so sorry for your loss.. I lost my wife of 25 years in August of 22, so seeing your pain is very real to me. This wasn't the video that was in me feed, it was the cabin build, which I will get to, but once I saw you were a widow, I wanted to start at the beginning of that journey, as I know it well.

Found you thru Brooke like so many others….my heart breaks for the loss of your husband and the grief you have suffered…it’s great to see that you did , indeed, move on. One day at a time you have accomplished so much already. Ryan would be so proud, but most importantly, be proud of yourself!

[@dennisbeaver5958]

Just found your channel. Having lost the love of my life 15 years ago, I feel your pain. Ignore any of the haters that have posted. Take strength from your memories of your partner. Remind yourself every day that this was your shared dream, and he would want you to press on! Wish you all the best!

Heartbreaking 😢

You are my new hero ❤🙏🏼 you are very strong

[@lisatimms3507]

Oh my darling. I’ve just come across your video. My heart breaks for you. I’m so sorry for your loss. All those beautiful memories with him are now safely locked away. You never get over losing them, you just learn to live with it. I lost my sister suddenly 15 years ago & it still hurts terribly. Sending you much love ❤

[@vjbushong]

Good luck Kaitlynn. You are not alone. ❤

[@zonaholsters802]

Excuse my language, but holy shit this video broke my heart. I’m 13 years older than my wife and we dream of relocating to Alaska. We are actually planning to make to move in the next couple years. I often think about her life if I am to pass before we can make our dream come true. Our hearts go out to you and we both look forwards to following your adventure. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

Just lost my spouse of 25 years she deaf and blind. Did everything you could imagine. Now I am moving on at times, it comes a knocking. I found someone else and enjoy the friendship we have.

I found your channel and you made me cry. I haven’t tried it. 12 years since my wife passed away. We were married for 46 years. Take care. Good luck. Your husband wouldn’t want you sitting around he would want you to go to Alaska. Take care God bless.✌️🇨🇦
