Grief for a loved one is the loneliest place you can be. Or so I've found. I lost my boyfriend of 4 years suddenly and unexpectedly in February this year. 2/20/22. The next day I found my engagement ring in his room. I had lost my dad 3 months prior and my dog of 17 years only a month before. This has been the loneliest 10 months of my life. I will never get over him and moving on without him is the hardest thing I have ever tried to do. I needed to hear this speech. I'm working on myself but it is a lonely and sad existence. Thank you for these understanding and heartfelt words.

[@sl33ptilldawn]

I'm sorry about your loss. I don't think moving on is the correct term. But just continuing on before we meet them again. I just lost my dog of 17 years as well a few days ago. I found some comfort in building an altar for them and painting them. Maybe it could help feel like your honoring them by doing as well? Much love

[@tanchikad]

I know what it’s like so I do feel for you truly. I haven’t had so much losses in such a short time but I also lost my boyfriend to the war on October 28, 2022 and then found an engagement ring with the “I love you” words engraved. I have listened to this talk many times since his death and found it’s very comforting. Sending you much love, Kathy.

Be good to yourself, buy yourself something every week,force yourself to go somewhere nice, find a new hobby or give more attention to an old one and at first it will be difficult but there is an old saying of time heals and it really does, i know because i have lived it too, pop down to your nearest homeless dog shelter too, its amazing the work they do and you may find a new 4 legged friend who hasn't anyone that cares xxxx

the worst thing you can do to a person who is grieving, is to ask them to change the subject to something less depressing... bring them a cooked meal, instead, sit with them, and allow them to talk about their loved one and or cry about them, openly, without stopping them to talk about something else... Be there to listen, show interest, and understand.

I feel the same way. We have no choice. We HAVE to go on and live because others love us. My mom died of covid February 2021. I understand and accept that God, in His sovereignty, allowed this to happen, but I can't find joy in being here. All the positive things are of no eternal value and the negative hurts so it seems to me that it's better to be with the Lord and my mother. I won't hurt myself because I love my family but I would much rather be with my mom. I have also found that my pain is my connection to my mother. Memories, are just that ...memories. The only thing that is a REAL experience is the pain I feel of losing her. I am hanging on to that pain because that is all I have that is truly a connection to her. I would gladly trade that pain for a nightly dream of her.. the kind that feel SO REAL. The kind where you could feel the pressure of her touch! But I have only had one of those. Of if I had "unusual" experiences where I just KNOW that it's her. As of now, my pain is my comfort and I will never "move on".

Losing one's sibbling is so psychologically painful that I wouldn't even wish such a traumatising experience to my worst foe.

Everyone in the family seems to have moved on except me, and they can't comprehend why I have not been able to forget about them? But how come one's descendants can just wipe their ascendants out of their memories so fast? I'm wondering what this world has come to?

[@mimibgrowhiskingdom]

Talking about your loved one and being able to sit in your grief is healthy. No one ever knows how long it will take to be able to deal with the loss of a loved one. There are so many stages of grief and they can come in your heart at any moment. For me, what we do with our grief honors our loved one that has passed on. I heal when I get to hold people up as they loose loved ones. Sitting with people in their grief is humbling and full of the people for whom I’ve lost. Extending my love for others, gives the ones that have passed on their legacy even when they are not here anymore. They now live through me. Blessings to all of you.

I am lost. I just lost my dad. Out of nowhere. He was my go to. My person. The fixer. The one who held everything together. The one who I went to when i needed that healing love and hug. He was here this morning, when I left for work. I was just leaving work when I got a call from my mom, that my dad had fallen while walking the dog. I thought I was rushing to a scene where he had fallen and severely twisted his ankle or broken his leg. Instead, he was taken away in an ambulance and he was in such a state, that my mom was told she could not ride along in the ambulance. She was told by first responders, that she was not allowed to ride to the hospital, with the love of her life and her best friend, while she believed he was suffering. She knew. By the time I arrived, in under 5 minutes, she was a wreck. She looked at me and said "it's really bad. Very bad." Within the time it took to drive to the location, get my mom and the dog, drop the dog off at home and speed to the hospital, I already had the feeling I would never get to speak to my father, ever again. I was right. Just as my mom had said. I don't even know where to go from here. He was my rock. The fixture of our family.

He did give you a sign, sitting beside you in bed in the first 2-3 days after he passed away. Maybe you were asleep and missed it. They do come back and give you a "I'm still here honey for always" The day my Mom died, she sat on the corner of my bed. Maybe we get scared when that happens to us, because I ran out of her house to get my uncle and she never came back again. This is a true story. *.*

He was the only one who would never scold me for anything and take the blame on him. And yet I used to ignore him thinking "I'd rather study" I feel like the hustle for greatness and being the best often makes us lose sight of our loved ones. So guys, cherish the loved ones you have and spend time with them. I learnt a very important lesson in my life.

[@poohspaws8976]

Very important speech. The most frustrating thing when you are the person who lost a loved one, is the fact that most people around you will share in that loss with you, but only for a limited time. I almost want to call it "Sympathy Limitation Syndrome". That doesn't mean those people don't mean well, i.e. they are there to call you when it has just happened, they bring food, they come by to give you a hug. They are there to attend the funeral and pay their final respects, but then what? What happens to most people who have lost someone, is that after the funeral is over, and the initial shock and commotion surrounding the event of losing a loved one has calmed down a bit, the people in their friendship circle go on about their daily business. But what about you? You aren't ready to go on with your daily business, because your grief doesn't stop with the funeral. This is the time when you feel that grief and pain the most, but it also tends to be the time when there aren't enough people around. When your loss has just happened, you find yourself in a whirlwind of arrangements that have to be made, you're busy with funeral preparations, and creating announcement cards, etc etc. But when the funeral is over and all the whirlwind activities that surround a death come to a close, and you finally have the time to reflect on the actual loss, that is the time when the hard stuff really starts. That is when that grief hits you like a ton of bricks. What I have learned from grieving personally is that the time AFTER the funeral (once all the memorial activities come to a close), is the most crucial time to reach out to the person who is grieving. For that is when the person who is grieving feels the most isolated and the most alone. We as a society have to collectively realize that a person's grief doesn't end when the last person walks out of the church, or when the last person in attendance leaves the grave site. It doesn't end there, it is only the beginning to a very difficult upwards hill of processing that grief. I think it is also important to not ask "Can I do anything for you?" or "What can I help you with?", because often when you're grieving, you don't really know what it is that you need help with. Everything is so overwhelming or you are too embarrassed to ask, even though they offered their help. In my opinion, it is better to not ask but to just do it. When you go over to their house and see that it is a mess with dishes in the sink, dust everywhere etc, the grieving person may be too embarrassed to ask you for help. So, I think it is best to just dig in and start cleaning. Do the dishes, give the plants some water, vaccuum the house, and if you know the person really well, even do a few loads of laundry. The point is to leave their home a warm and clean place for them to grieve in. Chaos in the house adds to chaos that is already in the mind of a grieving person, so the less household stress they have the better. Bring some food over without asking them if they would like you to do so. Just kind of put yourself in their position and think about what you would like someone to do for you in a time of mourning.

[@kelleyfunnylady]

You are so right about all of this. Im glad you got something out of my talk and thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. They say grief lasts much longer than sympathy, which I think is true. We have a lot to learn, but we are getting better with time.

[@poohspaws8976]

kelleyfunnylady What you do, speaking out about grief, speaking out about your beloved husband, trying to change the narrative of how people react to not only their own grief, but how they react to other people's grief is incredibly valuable, incredibly important, and has many dimensions. It helps you honor your husband and make sure that his death wasn't senseless, that his life and also death has a tremendous purpose, that his person stays relevant, that you are doing good for others in his name. You are honoring him in the highest regard. I know for a fact he could not be more proud of you and more grateful for you. Also, what you do has a trifecta of outcomes: you are helping yourself by giving loss a purpose, you are helping him by honoring him, and you are helping others through his story and through your own grief journey to give them some direction and a different option on how to handle their grief, in addition to handling other people's grief better. I think everyone (if we let it) could stay so consumed by grief and just give up, stay in bed, stay under the covers, and just be heartbroken forever. What you have decided to do with your grief is so commendable and so purposeful. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@kelleyfunnylady]

that is very nice of you to say. Its definitely hard work, and there are plewnty of days when I DO sit around at home and lie in bed crying or cant seem to do much of anything. I always tell people that I have had to fight for my joy and for the life I live today. Its a constant battle, but very worth it to me to havew found purpose and meaning in helping others sitting in the darkness.

[@poohspaws8976]

kelleyfunnylady I so completely understand. I don't think we would be human if we didn't have plenty of incredibly dark and sad days in bed after such a painful and profound loss. That is why I think it is so remarkable that you still find strength to do these events. It is very difficult to find joy after experiencing deep losses like this. Life can just be so hard. You just wonder how you're even supposed to get through the next hour. And when the loss is recent, you don't even know how to get through the next minute. You find it hard to even comprehend how life around you even goes on. I am also am shocked about the insensitive things some people say, like you mentioned in this video. The comment about grieving today and finding someone new the next day is unbelievable. "Get over it, move on" is also crazy insensitive and impossble. It is mindboggling how anyone could possibly say these things. Even if they wouldn't have experienced loss, I find it shocking.

Nikita, WOW, you are so right! Lost my wife 2 and a half years ago. Known her since kindergarten. I still wear my wedding band and hers, just can't "move on" or "get over it".

[@Bella-gj6wc]

When I lost my wonderful husband, I learned many things. The most important one? You need to make room in yourself ~ your brain or your heart, or both, for your new, and constantly evolving grief. I’ve tried locking grief up, because it’s so bothersome. It appears at the worst times, when you least expect it, and is like a stubborn child it WILL have its say. In the beginning, you wonder how to control this monster, because after all you have a life to finish living. I controlled it by giving it 30 minutes a day. I choose the time, and I timed its allotment. When 30 minutes was up, so was grief’s hold on my day. Gradually, like a satisfied child, the grief quieted, and went into dormancy. It will rise up, during a drive, and music coming on the radio, at movies, filled with emotion, and with memories; but I’d be lying if I told you it ever disappears, because it doesn’t. It’s like a wound with a scab, it’ll get smaller over time, but it will leave a scar to remind you it was there. We each find our way through those dark days, and gradually you begin to live again. My husband gave me the very best gift. A life with nothing left unsaid, and with no regrets. He always told me “we are not promised tomorrow, so we have to live for today”. Good luck to all going through it. You are not alone, as many have been there before you. ❤️

My father died 4 days ago (9th May). On the night of 10th to 11th May while I was laying in my bed trying to sleep suddenly I thought I hear footsteps, like someone sneaked in the room silently, I looked up in the half-dark towards the door thinking my mother was checking in on me but no one was there, then suddenly I heard a small knock on my bed, like someone passed with their fingers over the wood frame...then I felt incredibly calm, I thought immediately if it is possible that this is my father I would send him my message via thoughts, I told him I love him very much and that he needs not worry for me or my mother. Ofc I consider myself a rational person (even an Atheist at most extreme), I don't believe in "paranormal" nor am I superstitious...so the next morning I thought to myself this was something I probably dreamt or thought to myself due to overwhelming grief...only to find out that my mother heard it too, as she was awake as well...she said she also heard like someone was walking silently across the room where I was sleeping then the knock, then in the room where she was sleeping it was like someone entered there, like someone walked up to the cabinet where he kept his keys, then walked to her bed and stood there for a while, then it continued out and in to the kitchen and out of the door, sounds like he use to make when putting on his shoes and going out. I still cannot fathom this or comprehend how would it be possible for two rational ppl to hear the same thing at the same time and dream or hallucinate (or whatever you want to call this) at the same time?!

I told her that It was OK for her to slip away, that I would be alright don't worry about me. I still love her and any tears of grief for her are healing and sweet.

richard bedford I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m 30 and I’ve been with my husband for 10 years and the thought of losing him makes me ill 😢😢

[@missyd9462]

I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my beloved husband of 39 years almost six years ago from lung cancer also. I love him more today than when he walked on this earth. I just hate when men shut you up about your loss......they do think you should just move on to the next, and next, and next. Terrible morals out there in the big wide world. I just won’t be a part of it........some days I still feel I am drowning in grief........l will continue to love him for all eternity! May God bless you always, Richard. I sincerely understand your deep loss!

[@ania2182]

The best healing is you still feel tears helps u. I am in the same process .

[@bonnieshaw7324]

Richard Bedford what a beautiful tribute to your wife. I lost my husband of 44 years to lung cancer as well. Thank you for your post, it was comforting for me to read your perspective. Good luck on your journey.

[@lisareyes7331]

That was very sweet of u ,but as I read ur story wat u said to her at the end then she passes away those were the exact words I said to my dog Jenna and moments after I said those words to her she passes away I remember it like was yesterday she was my everything,she gotten sick out of no where but I comfort her as best as I could and I know she understood wat I said to her

[@edwardpaul3351]

You are absolutely right Kelly. My life has never moved on. I still cry for my only daughter who passed away 17 years ago. I agree with you 100%

[@sunsetstormx]

I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. I lost my daughter when she was 25 and I feel for you. no you never ever move on.

Ed my Mom died in 2014 and my Dad in 2016. I am still very sad and cry from time to time.

[@pumkinpie8730]

I needed this. My fiance died Tuesday Dec 6th 2022. I had joined the bereavement ministry at my church Dec 4th 2022. I never in a million years would have thought his death would help me in the future to help and talk to others. Keep me in your prayers

Praying for you sweetie ❤️

You're not alone sis....my fiance died Dec 23, 2021....still miss him dearly every single day...but I know he's still with me cause he'll do little things to remind me of him and all the good times we had together.

[@dr.b1346]

@@bluebellbeatnik4945 immediately!....i'd hear the songs he loved, smell his hair oil/colognes on other men, see his various cars, hear phrases he'd use, see cardinal birds, and i started feeling a breeze blow past my feet in the kitchen while washing dishes with no windows open...so i knew that was him...also I'd see him in dreams...and he was always happy...smiling toothless from ear to ear...cause when he passed he didnt have his dentures in😁😁

[@liladavis514]

This made me cry in such a good way. I miss my mom every day, and thank you so much for giving me permission to miss her and not feel apologetic about it.

[@janelsdiary4541]

Same here...miss my mom so much 😭

[@marthamartha3222]

You can't move on. It's definitely the most horrible feeling ever. When someone you love dies your life is over. You only learn to continue life with a broken 💔.

[@colinjamieson7225]

My sincere condolence. It's Colin. I'm from Boxford, US. I noticed from your comment that you must be a positive personality. Nice meeting you here. May I have the chance to know the Angel behind this beautiful face?

[@markcolasuonno2415]

A broken heart I never understood the meaning . Now I live with this broken heart .

[@klaralangford8979]

The pain is horrible, but it is the primary duty of the living ones to carry on with their fathers' work. Parents bring one up so that one could stand on one's own feet and live as happy as possible. I don't know whether they see us when they die or not - but they wouldn't be happy to see their child's life broken by their death.

[@vivianmadisonmahoney9457]

Absolutely true.

[@enygmaervin2536]

I just recently lost my beautiful funny silly amazing girlfriend and right now my heart is so broken 💔 I am grieving and want so badly to be with her I don't want to even go on

[@Alexander-jy6te]

I had to stop right after the first quote. "Nobody ever told me that grief felt so much like fear." - I screamed because I finally heard someone say out loud what I couldn't put to words! This is EXACTLY how I feel every time grief comes up again. I lost my mother to a heart-attack out of nowhere 4 months ago, and I feel like the grief is getting worse with time. Not because I didnt grief when she died, but because I felt numb. Just numbness. And now the numbness finally started to wear off, and grief comes up. The crying was something I expected, sure, but the fear was unexpected. Sometimes it even feels like im close to a panic attack. Normal day to day things, which I dealt with smoothly in the past, suddenly become huge issues which seem impossible to solve. Now I finally know this is not me loosing my mind, but actually just a normal part of grief. Thank you for this amazing talk! It resonated a lot with me. And I will definitely check out "A grief observed"!

[@latoyafennen4853]

I did the exact same thing. As she continued I was like yes yes yes! That is exactly why I’m here.

[@reneet5858]

Oh heck yes, the first months were a breeze compared to the last 6 months!

[@alaskagamer6351]

Let yourself feel every feeling whether its sadness, anger, joy (at the happy memories) they're all valid. Take your time to heal. Nothing will ever be the same EVER but we can only take it one day at a time and control what we can and let go of what we can't

[@jaydub7386]

A comment I read on another video about death was, “Grief is love with nowhere to go.” I lost my partner of 20 years two years ago. I stopped talking to my friends about him after a friend told me it had been two years and that I should be over it.

[@nelshiro]

So sad how people can be so insensitive! So sorry for your loss.

[@super_girl3357]

I’m so sorry! Grief has no time. Some days we are better some days it hits us hard. I’m so sorry for your loss and your not alone.

[@divinalove8525]

My dad just died and I miss him so much. Life doesn’t feel real anymore.

[@BigBeanSupreme]

Mine too, just a few days ago out of nowhere. I feel so empty and alone with him gone.

[@itskatherineaine]

Me too. I have so many regrets. I still feel like I'm trapped in a dream. I cannot imagine a future without him. He was only 48.

[@kritikaagrawal9925]

I can't imagine your pain, just know that you guys are fighters and tho I may not know you and u don't know me, I am proud you guys are hanging in there! We love you guys and stay just as strong as you r! We will be here 💜

[@blackmountainmoon9866]

Mine has been gone since July 7th and im still expecting him to walk through the door any minute. It will never feel real for me but will always hurt tremendously.

[@reneet5858]

It's a new reality ypu've been thrust into. And no one goes there willingly. When I gave myself permission to NEVER stop loving my late Husband, the panic lessened a LOT.

[@lebasi0408]

I lost my beautiful momma today, we witnessed her gasp her last breath. This helped mend a tiny piece of my shattered heart. Thank you ❤

[@smyliebynature]

I'm sorry for your loss. The death of a mother is really hard. My mom died as well. Praying for your strength during this time.

[@camillec.4518]

I lost my husband of 26yrs on 2/9/22. The pain and emptiness I feel is indescribable. I appreciate this TED TALK, because I'll never move-on.😔

I’m really sorry for your loss 🥺 My grandma passed away last year and I hope all of us get through those tough times 🙏🏼💛 Many thanks to the amazing speaker 🙏🏼💛💛

[@susancuzelis5128]

I feel the same. I lost my husband to Covid, we were about to celebrate our 50th Anniversary, I had to cancel our trip. It’s been 7 months and I feel like I died myself and will never have joy again. No one understands this pain only other people who have loved so deeply and lost their love one. You have my deepest sympathy.

[@jyotsnaomahony4731]

your life will paint more memories around your memories together - you will never forget.

I know this pain too Lost mine 3 days after Xmas December 28th 2021 You're right. Move on? What are they saying? "Hurry and be yourself again or be fake because I can't cope with your grief/ loss" Ignorance. I love this gals Ted talk. A refreshing new view

[@roncatton7101]

When you truly love someone who's life has been taken away from you in your life you don't want to forget them in any way. The fact is if you really loved them up until that moment they were taken away from you, then you will always love them till the day you pass yourself. Yes, we have to carry on as best we can with our own lives, but when you have had that love in your life, it never goes away, it will always remain with you.
