So right ❤

Hi Brooke, another great video and great advice!! I have mixed feelings about watching sad videos etc…. I feel they do help as they help you feel less alone in your grief (as you stated) but also, if another parent has had an even more tragic loss of a child (eg death through murder or more than one child die) then I feel that I can be strong as they’ve survived something even worse than I have. I hope that makes sense!! I agree though, there are times that you need to ‘get away’ from your grieving thoughts and just ‘chill’ for a while. This was very hard to do when Paris had first passed but I found, with time and rest, it has become more achievable. I am now almost 2 years into the loss of my priceless baby girl and, though it’s still difficult…… and still shocking, I can ‘carry’ my grief with some ease, most of the time. Thank you again for all you do for us grieving parents, Brooke, you are helping us sooooo much, more than you know. Love and hugs from Colchester UK xxxxxx❤️💞❤️

Agreed-- it definitely gets easier to make the shift when a bit of time has passed, and I LOVE your thought about looking at others' losses as "If they can be strong, so can I." That's a GREAT way to focus your energy!

My feed is split between food, dogs, farm sanctuaries….and way too many infant, child, grandchild loss posts. It does bring me down but it also makes me feel less alone. I am surrounded by family but have never felt so alone in my life. I think I do need to minimize those grief accounts to the two where I have meaningful connections. But I also cannot look at anything having to do with pregnancy, a baby, or young parents. I hide all of that and any friends with that in their life. Hide all the ads. Ugh. Good video!

It's a definite process to get your feed shifted, but it can be really healthy. Thanks for sharing!! ❤️

Sometimes it feels good to read blogs or watch videos about people who are suffering like you are...it makes you feel less alone. But you are right, too much of that can bring you down. That's when I try to watch some prank or comedy videos to lighten my spirit. I know you already have a career, but I think you would be a good therapist too. You have actually been through some serious stuff so when you say something like that it is sometimes possible to choose happiness, it carries a lot more weight than someone who is just repeating phrases they have been taught without much thought behind it.
