I see this video is from 7 months ago. I only recently discovered your channel so am catching up on videos. I hope you are doing well now. 2024 has been a terrible struggle for me and my family so I feel where you're coming from. sending love and peace xx

Thank you for this beautiful, honest video. As always so intimate, fragile, like poetry. I hope you'll find peace in your heart soon. But your message that it's okay to feel this way will make us stronger eventually.

"Earth school" is hard on our souls but I suspect we all volunteered to come here...🤔 Fingers crossed that these difficult times will be short-lived 🤞🤞. Winter is coming to us in Norway now, with snow on the ground and temperatures well below 0 degrees in many places. Hope you won't have to struggle with that where you are...😉. Thank you for sharing stories from your little island out there in the Atlantic.

Thank you, Endre, I appreciate you sending me this encouraging and kind message. We do not struggle with temperatures well below 0 degrees and large amounts of snow but winter has definitely arrived here as well. We occasionally do get a bit of snow on the top of the mountain and some harsh icy north winds which makes it feel frosty here especially since we do not have central heating. I hope find some enjoyment in this season. Sending my best wishes to you to Norway!

Life can be a bit of a struggle at times. I stand up to it. When I was diagnosed with COPD I didn't fall into denial I just moved forward. I enjoy singing with my wife. She is a great lady and a great friend. She is a excellent artist as well. When times get tough we need to be just as tough. I sit back and thank The Lord for given me another day. Things will get easier.

I'm so sorry that you are struggling as well. Thank you though for sharing where you are at right now. I'm glad that my video was able to provide a tiny bit of comfort in this testing time. I can only imagine how nerve wracking living through this experience must be for you, waiting for medical test results can be torture. I'm crossing all my fingers for you and I will keep you in my thoughts. Please know that you are capable.

By coincidence I've recently had similar feelings of hopelessness and sorrow, because of a very bad prognosis of a much loved person. I know how it is to be sapped of energy and not be able to feel normal. Good luck in your healing, Rahel.

It comforts me that you are able to relate to my struggles and I'm relieved that you were still able to enjoy the imagery of this video. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with so much sensitivity and compassion. I appreciate you.

♥️I always feel like you are feeling now. Our reasons are different, mostly, but the uncertainty of tomorrow is there. This morning’s joy is in the form of my still flowering plants. It’s 9C outside and they are green, blooming and giving me great joy. My house is filled with their scent and beauty. While the trees around me have changed colour to bright yellows and orange, these fragile plants are still going, sheltered by the sleepy trees, producing bright pink, yellow and white flowers. Nature is amazing and so are you.

Hello Rahel, I jumped into this video because of its title, "I'm struggling." You sound like you really got hit hard and were.... well... depressed. Oh my goodness. I wish I could have given you a hug. This video was made 6 months ago and since then, you have made 5 more videos, one for every month, which tells me that things are better. Are they? I hope. Still, I am so very sorry. It's hard enough when there is one sorrow, but 2 sorrows, combined with the pain of the world, with the weather getting colder and the island getting more desolate, it can really get to you. I am very sorry. Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share this with the world. It hurts. It really does. I took the time to read the comments below. All these viewers, whether they expressed themselves rightly or not, all sent their love to you. They cared and still care. It's hard to lose someone. It hurts like heck. It's a huge gaping hole within and nothing can make it better. But, fact is, we never lose anyone, nor anything.... even though it doesn't look nor feel this way for most of us. Our essence is the spirit, the truth within. This never leaves, never dies. Although, we cannot see nor hear the person anymore, that being, the soul, the truth within lives. I know that it may not be a consolation because we want to touch the person, hear that person, laugh, and be with that person. It still hurts, but he/she is there here with you, always. I have learned, that when I am sad, it is like clouds covering up the sun. The sun is still there, shining brightly, warmly, happily. The only difference is that in that moment, I don't see nor feel it. But, it's temporary. Feel your feelings, cry, mourn.... be sad..... for as long as you need to and whenever you need to......., but remember that sun is there beyond the clouds. and, remember that this person is there, even though, it is beyond your sight and hearing... always there. Sending long, warm hugs, Eve

Eve, I appreciate your verbal hug, your compassion and your caring kindness. I am much better now that time has passed. I still haven't completely worked through it but I am on a good path right now and I'm confident that I will be able to integrate it eventually. It was very important for me to share also this darker phase of my life because I value authenticity and I wanted to shine some light on the fact that life happens and that life gets flipped upside down doesn't matter if we live in paradise or elsewhere. We all struggle eventually. We all suffer eventually and there is no running away from. And I was worried that people might get the impression that I'm living this perfect life, so I just wanted to keep it real. It was also very therapeutic to create something pure without glossing over the situation.
