God bless this woman! 🧡 For those also grieving the loss of a loved one i’m sending you hugs!🫂

Exceptional Dr Wilbon . Your Ted talk reminded me of my grandmother who I lost 20 years ago I miss her so very much. When she passed away i was devastated. However through that pain I was able to write a book about her life. “What My Grandmother Taught Me About Life “My grandmother gave up her life at the age of 49 years old to take care of me. If it had not been for God I not sure where i would be. The Lord saved my soul, my grandmother saved my future. Blessings to you Dr Wilbon

[@DrMatisaWilbon]

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing for memory about your grandmother and your book. That last line is it: The Lord saved my soul, my grandmother saved my future. Powerful! Blessings right back! :)

Grief is a deep sustained sorrow that robs us of joy and time… sheesh😩😭

[@DrMatisaWilbon]

🙌🏽🙌🏽 So tough!

[@CaboniaBelieves]

That was beautiful. ❤ It sounds like this entire talk was built upon the foundation of personal experience. Her knowledge about grief informed, alerted, and guided her to a great and important question in conclusion. ❤

[@charmanesellers7265]

Dr. Matisa, BRAVO!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 in delivering a powerful healing message about to topic, as you mentioned, all will experience in some form. I’ve navigating what I’ve been informed is Complicated Grief in the sudden loss of my husband. The Universe is amazing in that I finally chose to find a way to give voice to my grief and share in hope it would be of benefit to others, and sought out an expert in TEDx Talks to help me organize my thoughts to deliver in a compelling way. Your message and delivery is OUTSTANDING and please know that you’ve touch my spirit in the most healing of ways as I go through yet another layer of grief to embrace wholeness again. What a magnificent gift you’ve shared with the world. 💖

[@EmemWashington]

Such a great perspective on grief. Thank you for sharing this, Dr. Matisa. Gratitude is my go to too.

[@DrMatisaWilbon]

Thank you!

[@dueseason72]

… Absolutely wow! I wasn’t sure if I was gonna watch and finish it. I’m grateful that I did. My twin son, Mike passed away 20 months ago , unexpectedly from a motorcycle accident at age 22. Talk about grief; working with grief, living with grief, consoling his twin brother and supporting him through his grief and mine, supporting his big sister with her emotions and grief, being supportive to their father, my ex-husband it was a lot and still can be.. Reflecting that soon, it’s my second Mother’s Day coming up without my son , along with my birthday, their birthday all in May just days apart.. I appreciate your transparency and your deep seeking and there has been Good in Grief. I too choose to be thankful , grateful to have been this kid’s mom, to love him, to encourage him, to see him be wise , make solid decisions, to have helped and touched people I didn’t realize until his passing; to watch him just beginning the young adulthood season of his life to having the longing to see him marry , to see grandchildren that could have been twins , to see him come into his own… and yea it sucks , it does , I also appreciate the moments we had down to his sarcasm sharing Bible scripture to make his points lol. I will always love that boy and as I cry now even , I have seen the Good in Grief. Continued prayers and support. Thank you 💙🕊️

[@DrMatisaWilbon]

I’m so sorry. Know that I am praying for you. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@oliviasimmons8069]

Dr. Matisa, this is SO GOOD! I can relate to this entire TedX Talk! Thank you for shedding LIGHT on that there’s GOOD in Grief! I’m definitely SAVING this video to help me in my journey!!

[@DrMatisaWilbon]

❤❤ Thank you so much! Glad it resonated.

[@jeanmichel8368]

I'm still in grief over the loss of my father over a year ago. So many emotions, and been feeling overwhelmed, unable to talk or communicate with others. I feel so broken and don't know what to do.

[@DrMatisaWilbon]

I'm so sorry, Jean Michel. I can't 100% understand your pain but I empathize with you. I encourage you to journal or create audio files about your feelings. It can be for your eyes/ears only. But it will help you get it out. You might also consider starting the gratitude journal. Best wishes.

[@jeanmichel8368]

Thank you for your compassion and advice Dr.Matisa. What you said about anger in your talk really resonated with me. I know I need to be more grateful, because I do have at least two loving people in my life (my mother and sister). Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed that I feel like I'm trapped all alone, but I can't forget that I have people who care for me.

[@elsonerkelseyjr.9983]

Dr. Matisa, I heard you praying on an a new album and it’s been on repeat honestly. I had to do some research to find out who you are. I’m blown away by your greatness and your anointing. After listening to this “Talk” about grief it explains the power behind the prayer. 🙏🏾 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😮‍💨

Excellent talk Dr. Matisa! Your words truly resonate with me as I’m opening up to see the good in grief.
