I Renovated This Camper To Cope With My Grief

[@laurathompson9649]

So sorry for your loss. The cardinal is a symbol of a divine message. It was your mom watching you work on the camper.

[@Amanda20248]

I was just about to say the same thing

[@lz6364]

Exactly, my family believes it's a loved one visiting us

[@annecaunce]

The day you lost your mum was the 20th anniversary of my dad's passing. It never stops hurting, but somehow you learn to live with your loss, because there's no other way. Your mum will always be your mum, she'll always be your son's grandma and she'll always be a huge part of your life. Sending love and hugs. And the camper looks stunning.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

My beloved very young husband died 34 years ago It’s been hard every day, just in diff ways each season Now that I’m 60 I miss him extremely much again

[@KarlaIMarie]

Im so sorry for your loss. I lost my father in law and mother in law within 2 years of each other. they were the closest i had to real parents. Its been a rough 2 years but trying to stay motivated and keep moving forward. Im living for them now and try to remember that evertthing I do is to make them proud. I know they are with me every day. And I know that your mom is with you everyday too. She is definately proud of you!!!!!

[@HilaryHerth]

OMG, I'm so sorry. You don't know me, but I love you and care. Please stay strong. Because YOU'RE the amazing mama now. Keep her legacy alive through you. Don't worry, honey, your mom IS watching him grow! ❤

[@alisonshanahan1237]

Your husband sounds wonderful. He truly appreciated and loved your mother. You're fortunate to have had such a sweetheart for a mom, one who was so supportive. ❤

[@LauraTuller]

An amazing video in every aspect. Your mom’s soul never died, she’s watching you and is always near. 🙏🏼💗

[@reneeboronka]

What a beautiful video and tribute to your Momma. I lost my Dad to a sudden heart attack when he was 64. It is 33 years later and I still miss him. I am grateful that as Christians we will be reunited again. 💗

[@robinbirdj743]

My husband was healthy and fairly fit, and died suddenly after a hot day working in the sun (stressed his heart, low on potassium). He was 63. Tjey called it a „ natural“ death, but it didn’t seem natural at all! He was a young 63 yo. ❤😢❤ Sorry for your loss. 64 is about 10-30 yrs too young IMO!

[@MissNatashaMarie]

I’m crying, Em. It’s so hard losing your mom. I lost mine suddenly in 2021, she was 64. There are so many conversations I wish I could have with my Mom every day, I miss her so much! You did a beautiful job on the camper!! Your mom would be so proud of you.

[@treasureandasong]

(((Hugs❤))) A couple of years is still a grieving time, take care. For me, it took about five years to get used to my new normal after losing my mom. Sorry for your loss, both you and the lady in the video.

[@SuperCandyjunkie]

I am just started the difficult road of losing my mom. She was my best friend and was always there for me. My husband walked out 2 years ago and my mom was my rock. I miss her so much. Sending you lots of love and hugs.

[@Baileybobb]

After this I just texted my mom to say I love her, because if she were to pass I’d have so many regrets. Sorry for your loss Emelyne, and thank you for the reminder 💕 The campers beautiful, you’re living my dream!

[@debc315]

Yes your camper is beautuful. My hysband and I would like to have a camper to fix up, we are both retired but don't have a big any big savings. Our mobile home is breaking down, but it is not worth fixing to us. I especially love your tv in it's little nook. I have one of those tv/dvds, I paid $5 for it 5 years ago ,it atill plays well. I lost my dad in 1963 when I was 7 and my mom in 1986 . I muss them both, especially knowing that they didn't get to see my 6 kids. The pain never goes away totally, but softens through the tears. You find yourself thinking of them during birthdays and holidays. I will keep you in my prayers. Thank-you for showing your beautiful labor of live

[@caracampbell1715]

I’m glad you are posting again. I understand the grief over your mom. My mom was my best friend, too. She died from cancer nine years ago, but I’d give anything if I still had her here with me. One of things I discovered more fully when she passed is that joy shared is joy multiplied. Nothing I do is as enjoyable as it was when I had her to share it with. I especially enjoyed sharing the cute things that my babies did or the cute photos I took of them, or the new things I bought for them. Honestly, no one else on the planet cares about those things that you love as much as your mom does. It’s a different world without her. We go on because we have to, but it’ll never be like it was. So I get it. And I just want to say that I’m so very sorry that you lost your mom so soon. 🙏💔🙏

[@linmurray436]

So glad to see you, I've thought of you often this past year and hoped you were doing well. I was very close with my mother as well and I was lucky enough to have her until I was in my 60's.

[@annschmidt4536]

What a beautiful job you both did. It's truly a lovely home.😊

[@MsLittlehummingbird1]

I lost my mom 2008 but it still hurts so much and I've been missing her so much recently. I'm an only child with no father in the pic so my mom was my bessst friend. We talked all the time too. B4 texting was real popular lol thanks for sharing your video and my condolences on your loss but you keep those projects going and raising your baby helps keep the mind busy. Sending love

[@itscarolinemary]

Trying not to cry on the train as I watch this ❤ such beautiful narration honouring her.

[@rosied9098]

So sorry for your loss. I love what you did with the camper. Love the bright white, sage green & wall paper. So glad you had such a close relationship with your mom. Love your attitude with life. I know your faith in the Lord helped you so much. Your mom passed you so much wisdom. Stay blessed. ❤

[@daniellevonglahn7298]

Had an argument with my mom this morning, now im crying telling her I love her. You have quite a way with words and a beautiful soul. Not to mention very talented hands!

[@barbaraknapp6970]

I remember the day you announced that Your Mom had passed. I was devastated for you. This was a beautiful Tribute to your Love for her, but honestly You did that in your videos So Much when she was alive. It was evident to anyone who watched your channel, the Deep Love you had for your Mom and Dad. So thankful that You have those Memories to look back on and the assurance that You will see her again. God Bless You and Your Family.

[@deannajimpens]

I’ve been watching since you used to bake in your parents basement. I have been along for your entire journey and multiple channels. I am so grateful to be able to view this video, but am more grateful that you took the time needed for yourself away from this platform. Welcome back. Job well done on the Reno. Love the touch of the Mama Bear artwork. You had me in happy tears. ❤

[@jenniferlisow2901]

My sincerest condolences to you & your family on the unexpected passing of your mom. My mom passed in 2016 & my dad passed in 2018, so I understand what you're going through. Just remember, the love you have for each other lives on forever. And you will be reunited in Heaven. God bless you all!

[@patriciafiler1875]

So sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom 12/10/23 and it still doesn't seem like she's not here but i had her much longer than you had with your Mom but we have to remember the wonderful times we had with them and that they are always with us.🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@Meggie-bx2zu]

So sorry for your loss. Moms are so special. She is now your angel who will be watching over you until you meet again.

[@belindasanders7072]

I'm n tears. I lost my dad suddenly years ago. I know how traumatic that is. Em, I'm happy ur back. Cooper is adorable. Betsy looks great! U guys did a wonderful job renovating her. Never have doubted ur creativity. ❤ & hugs 2 all. God bless

[@jenniferleonard8660]

So sorry for your loss 😔 I lost my mother last year in May ❤️ to Parkinson's and dementia! So days are good and others not so much but I promised her that I would hold our family to and make sure her great grandkids are always okay and my grandkids are my life ❤️

[@JennyLucero-t4c]

I'm sorry for your loss. Know that your beautiful mom is watching you and your family. The fond memories you have of her are yours forever. I'm glad you have the camper to keep your mind and body busy. May God bless you and your love ones.

[@kmrolland67]

She was a blessing to you as you were to her. In time, the saddness will fade, and those simple memories will come through, leaving you will a smile. Wishing you all peace

[@janinepettit2019]

Your mother seemed like an amazing woman. What a foundation of love she left you to bring to your family and care for Papa Bear. Your renovation is beautiful! I know you’ll make beautiful memories in it. ❤

[@trudysenglishvictorianhome3244]

I'm not gonna cry! 😭. I'm not going to cry! 😭. Oh my goodness, this is the most BEAUTIFUL Tribute you Created for your Mom!! I am certain she is looking down from Heaven and just Smiling at you!! 🤗. Little Cooper has grown so much! Such a Handsome Little Guy!! 😊. Thanks for the Update! So nice to have you back!! 🧡🧡🧡

[@starsmith1744]

Sweet girl, love never dies. Love surrounds us. Your mom's love will embrace you every day. The effort you put into the camper was a beautiful way for you to move the this grieving process. Bless you from all the other mothers in the world who have your back.

[@kate2create738]

Your description of your mother and what happened brought tears in my eyes, I try to hide my sentimental side but could just feel the love you had for your mother it was beautiful. What a remarkable tribute 🥹

[@wenDesigner]

I’m so so sorry. I lost the love of my life for 33 years. I understand the constant pain. Such a beautiful way to honor your mama’s memory! ❤

[@lorimariegrace614]

Just a few days ago I was searching for you, and then here you are. Im so very sorry for the loss of your precious Mama. A very hard loss indeed. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Your son is a beautiful little boy. God bless you all.

[@francyfey4646]

Wow, you did it again. What a makeover! And what a tribute! I obviously haven't known your mom, but I feel like her essence and what she passed on to you really manifested in the work you did on this camper and the way you're a mother to Cooper. I'm sure that what we see here is just a small amount of it all, there is and was of course (!) so much more to her and to you than what we see on this plattform here. But thank you! thank you for sharing a part of her and of you with us! It gives hope! And it's a very beautiful piece of work. I hope you are doing okay

[@shireenbadirkhan4057]

Sorry for the loss of your mom. Last week you were on my mind so I searched for you on KZbin but couldn't find any updates since the last time I watched you. I hope your life continues to be better and of course a mother can never be forgotten.❤

[@wellwait4197]

Some people are just good people and you find yourself wishing them all the happiness this world has to offer…. This young lady is one of those people, whose heart shines brighter than most. Great job darling and may God’s bright light continue to shine within you and yours.

[@LoveAndTruth-n7v]

We missed you so much! I can tell your Mother was full of the Holy Spirit, God bless you all! Gee I would have loved to meet her too! Now you can be the Mom she was to you to your little🥹 The camper is so beautiful with little gems of details, you both are such a talented team!

[@lesliemckinley9615]

You both did a great job! I was really impressed that you tackled the flooring on your own. So sorry for your loss, but thanks for sharing. Praying for you!

[@arlenekerr1198]

I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you and your beautiful family.

[@brendathomas7173]

My Mom was my best friend too. My first call in the morning and last call at night. We did so much together, then with my kids as they came along. It was a privilege to know her and to see her to her last day. I know she's in a much better place. I was so fortunate to have her for my Mom and my best friend❤ I'm sorry for your loss...what a blessing your Mom was!

[@felicialong6546]

So sorry for the loss of your mom. You did such a great job with the camper. That was a lot of hard work. Your little boy is gorgeous❤️.

[@b.l.wilson9724]

Absolutely sad to hear about your mom passing. The words you used to describe her were very sweet and heartwarming. On the 29th of this month I will be celebrating my dad’s 2 year anniversary…I for real listen to his favorite Motown artists, I cook one of his favorite dishes and I drink one of his favorite beers- doing this brings joy and makes me smile big because I did all the things he loved. Sending hugs and the camper looks amazing. Prayers for continued peace for your dad😊

[@kaleyshome]

I cried so hard the whole way through your video. I have been watching your videos for so many years and I feel like I got to know your mom a little bit through your videos and she seemed like an amazing woman! I am so sorry she got called home so soon but you can tell how much she loved her family and how much you all loved her💗 I know she would be so happy & proud of all your accomplishments. Thank you so much for sharing and I really love the camper! It is beautiful!

[@lindaroyal8161]

Very sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. Sending prayers and hugs. This was a beautiful tribute to her. The camper looks so much better in shades of white. Wonder why they're always in such drab dark colors. Nicely done!

[@Lacirose88]

I’m so very sorry for your huge loss. My mom is my best friend too, I can imagine the hole that’s left. You found a great way to honor your mom

[@maureenkrings3441]

This makes me so sad, you have my greatest sympathy!! My mother was my best friend, and my world I lost her in Nov. 2018. You did a wonderful job on the camper!!

[@sharonarrendale8418]

I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful mom. Yes, we never know when our time is coming. I can't help but believe that the red bird was your mom watching over you. You did an amazing job on your camper. I have been watching videos. Trying to get ideas to freshen up my own camper. I have lived in my camper for 6 years. You get tired of seeing the same thing over and over. You are amazing! And, you have such a beautiful family. May God bless you and yours.❤

[@melodyferguson2036]

I’m so sorry for your heartache, sweet one! Our parents are our anchors on the earth and when one leaves we kind of float around for awhile! God bless you as you heal from this trauma of life! ❤️

[@kathlucy603]

You've created a beautiful home. Your mama's love shines through you.

[@carolynskelly4763]

What a beautiful way to deal with grief in such I healthy, life-affirming project. I believe your loving Mom was with you the whole way with your renovation. I see her patting your shoulder while you dealt with the flooring and comforting your pain and surprise when you went through the floor. I know you know Love goes on and she is with you and your beautiful family. Bless you all.

[@rhondahoward4778]

Out of the blue I was thinking about your sweet channel last week and wondering if we would hear from you again. That was such a lovely, lovely tribute to a mom who was and still is very much loved and cherished by her family. It was good to hear from you.

[@marytaylor1320]

I truly loved this video. The story and the memories of your beautiful mom, the choice of music, the reveal, the picture of your mom with the baby, your family''s reaction to the build and of course your sweet child running around. Oh my goodness, I think my throat was swollen from beginning to end and while leaving this comment. This is my favorite video. Thank you so much

[@kathrynmauro8673]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your memories are wonderful. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. Your mother sounded very special. I remember the pain I felt when my mother died. Thankfully, I was able to be with her, and she was coherent. I saw her smile, and her crystal blue eyes twinkle shortly before she joined my father, brother, and babies I never held. My family was also with her. I am forever grateful that I could be with her. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🙌🙏

[@katdumpling4624]

Your story mirrors so much of what happened to my dad a year ago. It was a sudden heart attack that took him out and i was able to say goodbye in the ambulance. Although it was the hardest thing ive ever done, im so thankful i was able to have those final moments with him after he passed. It helped with the finality part of my grief and i was able to pour my heart out. It really strengthened my faith to have that experience and pain and to truly rely on the Lords comfort. I hope you also continue to find that comfort in our good shepherd. Im so thankful for that day we will be ressurected with our loved ones in Christ! The sentiment you feel toward your moms and your relationship really reflected the deepness i had with my dad. Thank you for this. ❤

[@sassy1229]

When I saw this pop-up on KZbin tonight, my heart skipped a beat. I have missed your channel so much and I am hoping that you are back. I am so incredibly sorry for what you have gone through and I know that you are still healing. just know that your channel makes people happy, and we have missed you❤

[@joycemoody9246]

I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear Mom. The renovation is beautiful and a lovely tribute to her. May God bless and comfort you and your family as you grieve.

[@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts]

I am so sorry you lost your beautiful mother and your best friend. I lost my best friend and soulmate that I had known since I was 15 years old, my husband Tommy in 2014.. I felt like half my heart was gone. It’s going to be 10 years in December and I think after the 5th year I started feeling human again. I am 73 years old. I keep Tommy alive just by mentioning his name to my children and grandchildren. His memory will never die. I know I will be reunited with him someday; God’s grace is sufficient for me. I can just tell by this video your mom loved you very much and you had a special relationship with her. That love will never die. God bless you and your family. And it is so true when you walk through the fire, you are never alone. God is always with you and the gift that you get when you come out of it is immeasurable. He will never leave us nor forsake us. But God , where will we be without him? I never want to know❤

I came across this video. I’m sitting here in a hotel room with my husband and daughter. We’re on night two of traveling back to the NYC area from Phoenix, AZ. I’m so sorry about your mom. I legitimately think I was meant to stumble on this video. I lost my mom two years ago, August 2022. Very suddenly. I needed to hear how grateful you are that you have your memories of your mom all around you. I have my mom with me too. I’m sure others will be reminded of someone they lost, miss so much. We never really lose them. We will always have them in our hearts. Blessings to you and your beautiful family.
