Most don’t lose them at 10 yrs old. Have a heart? Even if it is common and we all have to deal with it one day, it’s still relevant and useful to see someone dealing with real grief. Not much else on TV to watch these days.

He’s still very much a boy in a man’s body, my heart hurts for how much he misses he’s mother 🥺🌹✨

The choice of therapist is everything when benefitting from therapy. That relationship has to instinctively feel right almost immediately, regardless of how many degrees they have . It's gutteral trust which doesn't come easy to those who've suffered enormous trauma. Lovely Joey appears depressed and his beautiful Mum must've been .. she likely didn't want to leave him but instead lost hope and wanted the pain to stop. Its very brave to make this film and to reach out for help in the first place which in turn help will help others undoubtedly.

I lost my father at 14. It took at least a decade for me to go by without crying when thinking of him. I can see where Joey's grief is coming from because he has not yet come to terms with her heartbreaking decision. It is brave of him to share his feelings.

My mum died last year at 88. She was a lovely person and I did all I could for her, but I still miss her every day and occasionally shed tears. It’s a hard part of life that reminds us how precious it is. Best wishes.

Joey my heart goes out to you. Kind deeds change lives. The universe was showing off when you were made. The universe rewards the brave.

Awww bless him, this brought tears to my eyes. I lost both my parents, so I can relate so well to Joey. Money is nice and it’s better to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle, but there’s no substitute for your mum especially. No matter whom we lose throughout our lives, I believe we never actually get over it, we just learn to live without the person we’ve lost. Some days, weeks, months, years are easier than others. My mum died nearly 30 years ago, yet sometimes it still feels like yesterday, other days it feels much longer. Sad, 💔💔

His mother was a beautiful woman who must have suffered so much. Joey looks just like her. Her spirit radiates through him. I wish him the best of luck with everything.

Mental health is so important!!! Especially for men and ultimately everyone needs to feel safe and comfortable to talk about their feelings without fear, shame, embarrassment for needing help. Everyone needs help sometimes. Joey is doing exactly what I wish I could which is go back to my childhood home and walk around and soak in all the memories. Man this hits on a whole another level. 😢 I've been back to the street but it had changed alot but it was nice being back there.

Love seeing the real side to Joey. When you lose a lived one to suicide it's extremely difficult for anyone to understand what you are going through. As a child, to lose your mother would be the worst feeling. This will be the best thing he's ever done for himself. I hope he finds what he's looking for and can heal.

What a courageous documentary you made about coping with grief. It was so touching to see you grow in confidence as you absorbed and adjusted to the stages of grief. I am so sorry you had that experience and feel so encouraged by your example. Thank you, and well done.

Bless Joey ...what a lovely man he is growing into ..

I feel like I watched Joey mature before my eyes. I really hope he continues to grow, find love and have a family of his own.

I met joey Essex once and he’s such a good guy. Told him” he was my childhood role model”. Now I see why. Fame and being rich does not fill in the gap for a loss of family. Family is the most important thing and he epitomises that. His mum would be proud of him and wants him to move on and fill the gaps of grief.

Love Joey Essex, there's not a bad bone in him

Watched this today after not knowing previously of what happened to his mother despite being a fan of his personality on Imma Celeb and Celebs go Dating. Very heartfelt and emotional, hope now he can finally move on with some sort of comfort and find that much long awaited happiness.

So much love and respect for you Joey. I truly wish you nothing but the best ❤️

Loved this side of Joey ❤ I wish my son who is also 30yrs old would watch this. He reminds me so much of him. It wasn't a death that has separated us , but a divorce, my son is suffering like Joey is,has the exact same issues, he hasn't spoken to me in over 10yrs and cant talk about me to anyone. I love him so much and miss our relationship..I hope and pray someday he will talk to me. Thank you Joey I now understand why my son feels the way he does. ❤

Sometimes behind the smiliest of people lies the greatest sadness. I don't think it's about getting over a loss like this its about finding ways to keep going and part of that is to confront the pain from the hole in our hearts so it starts to hurt a little less.

I know this OS but Joey has beautiful blue eyes. Hope he finds the peace of mind he's looking for..

I can really relate to this. I’m 18, and lost my Mam a month ago, so I suppose my case is somewhat similar. Joey is very brave for doing this, and I really understand what he means when he says he’s on his own... even when you’re surrounded by friends and family, it’s impossible to discuss something like that with them, without upsetting them too. You don’t want to put that burden on others. I hope now that he can find some sort of escape from this long struggle.

This was so hard to watch, yet so important to see. Someone needs to see this!

Joey just watched the documentary should be proud of yourself with everything you have achieved look as positive stuff your mum would have been proud good on you pal Brodie Leicester 👍

I can't imagine his pain growing up... I like Joey even more after watching this. Very brave I wish Joey all the love and happiness in the world. His mum will be watching over him. X

Sending Joey the biggest virtual hug ever! I hope he finds inner peace eventually. Heart of gold 💛

When you miss your mum, and you just want your mum, everyone in the world could hug you and comfort you but it’s your mum you want and need and it’s utter heartbreak 💔

Aww bless him, I hope he finds a way to live with this and to start enjoying his life

Just watching the doc and my heart breaks for joey, he truly will be become a vessel for people suffering through depression. Thank you joey.

Joey always seems so happy, confident and fully of energy. I'd never think that he was going through all of that. He is brave to be this vulnerable on TV, much respect 👏🏽.

Watched it last night , quite upsetting to watch some bits of it . I lost my mom at 32 and it absolutely crushed me , can’t imagine how difficult it is being 10 and not have your mom around 😢😢 you just have to learn to live with it now and find your happiness ! All the best to him ♥️♥️♥️

Just watched this on iplayer and it was so honest and painful. My mum died at 48 when I was aged 20 and I can't imagine being the age he was was and losing her. Hope you are more free now Joey, she wouldn't want you to feel empty and sad in this world and I have to remind myself of this as well 💕

I wrote sometime last year on a video that joey was in, I said he needs therapy because of the loss of his mum you can see he needed this so glad he has decided to get help, he has kept all this inside for so long, when you hurt inside, it’s so hard to be happy, love 💕 you Joey you are handsome and kind hearted soul, hope you get all the help you need hun.

How brave he is and how proud must his family and real friends be of him. He is to be applauded for speaking out like this, too many people hold all their emotions and grief inside. Too many male suicides one man / boy is too many. Well done Joey.

What I did to help myself now is something I will tell you to do Joey Essex....You go back and look at that little boy, and you take his hand in yours and you tell him "Come on with me, It's ok mate I'll look after you now"

This is so inspiring and brave. Just reminds you, you never know what someone if going through on the inside! I have lost my Dad and several people I have loved too. I used to block it all out but now I let myself feel again and I think that is so important. I have starting writing songs and putting them on my channel as I find that a great way to let out grief. I would really recommend songwriting.

This is heartbreaking

I never knew this about Joey and only see the prankster side of him! This explains a lot to me. Of why he is that way and when the therapist asks if he gave up that side of himself would it feel like he is letting go of his mom, was quite powerful. Being unable to face adulthood and responsibility is something I struggle with as I’ve always been in circumstances where I am treated as a child, obeying others, not thinking for myself and my opinions not taken seriously. Now both parents have passed away, I have lost my purpose and identity. Completely. This will be so interesting to watch his documentary later as I have never seen Joey even taking ‘himself’ seriously and it will be the turning point and healing process. I am interested to see who this therapist is too and how he helps because I have always been in awe of Mandy Saligari and her therapy sessions with celebrities are amazing! I hope this helps him as you can see he is clearly broken inside and now is his chance to heal and be at peace with himself and the world. 🙏✨❤️💜💚💛🕊

So hard to Omg im tears watching it

I lost my brother to suicide in 2014 and I totally get where he is coming from that he has trust issues going forward in life. It's like your scared to form new attachments in case you get hurt again. I guess your just trying to protect yourself. Obviously you can let go.of attachements that you have already forged but I certainly dont attach myself to people like I use to for fear of getting hurt. Your not on your own Joey dont forget that. I read a great book by CS lewis .. A grief observed and the first page just summed up how I was feeling and still do. "Its like there is an invisible curtain between you and the real world" after the loss of a loved one. However losing someone to suicide is a different ball game because your dealing with so many things. Firstly you have lost a love one, secondly they took there own life and if they dont leave a note the questions as to why . It's so true that the people left behind are the ones that suffer because they have ended there pain. Well done for going to therapy and opening up but remember your not on your own with the pain that your carrying. Your mum will always be in your heart and no one can take that away from you. Xx

Got so much respect for joey ❤

This has helped me

Well Done young Man🙌🥰
