Hey Brooke, I’ve been following you since my little girl Gaia - 5 years old passed November last year. I do understand you because looking at little girls breaks my heart, seeing mums & daughters holding hands… the list is long. This pain is cruel. Sending love to you guys. X

Ugh, I am SO sorry that you understand. Sending you so much love. ❤️

Thanks David. I just lost my dear Dad 8 weeks ago. We were very very close. The world without him is joyless. I know it will get better. But it is so hard. I do have 4 grown kids so I don’t have that type of loss. I call those breakdowns, grief spasms. Fathers Day weekend was so difficult. I miss him every minute.

Grief spasms is a great term for it. I'm sorry for your difficult Father's Day... those days are always extra difficult. Sending hugs.

I love listening to you both. I once heard someone say after loosing their child that you've not only lost your child but you have lost a lifetime with them. That you always wonder what if...

Ugh, that is SO true.

Hi Brooke, you are so good and strong to accept how your brother comments on your grief and talking about beautiful Libbie. If any family, friend or acquaintance EVER said similar things to me about how I honour and grieve over my beautiful daughter, Paris, I would not be able to tolerate them in my life. Well done for putting up with it and being understanding to your brother. I really find it hard to understand how he cannot accept you are coping so so well and also helping so many other bereaved parents too!!!! I feel you are SOOO inspirational!! Sorry to say this but , who needs a brother/relative/person like that in their life? It is hard enough to function after such a devastation, without having to put up with such negative people. I do not mean to cause any offence!! Bless you, Brooke-we love you. Thank you for all your amazing videos. love and hugs from Colchester, UK xxxxxx❤️💞❤️💞❤️

I think I'm just used to his personality at this point, and it has taken me years to understand that the things he says are not reflections on me, but on him. His words just sort of bounce off me at this point... but I also know that he would do anything for me if I really needed him, so I try to focus on that. ❤️. Maybe also with having lost our parents it's a sense of trying to keep the family I have left, haha.

I understand, beautiful lady!! Well done in having such a mature attitude!! Keep up your brilliant and inspiring work!! We love you and of course, so does beautiful Libbie xxxxxxx♥️💞♥️💞♥️💞

So glad I got to jump in and say hello. I listened to the replay on my drive home...I often do. It was cool to hear that David goes through and reads the comments..ive always wondered bc I've thought of dropping him some love too. I appreciate that he shares so much as well...I am an emotional person like he is...and these videos really help people with all these raw feelings no matter what. Appreciate you both always so much. ❤️ and I have to say I'm so sorry your brother makes such an effort to show his discontent related to libbys death. I'm sure he has moments alone quietly that no one will ever see where he suffers...which is also very sad 😢. It seems all the frustration he should direct toward his own losses and grief, is redirected as an irritability toward you or maybe grieving people in general...idk. Was he also this way when your parents had passed? I feel like he needs that good will hunting moment where he's just pushed into releasing all the pent up anger and emotion he has. I hope you guys stay close though and he comes around more. ❤

"Good Will Hunting" moment --- I might have to steal that!!! What a GREAT reference!! Yes, he needs to have that moment. He's had a ton of grief in his life as well, but he is NEVER really emotional about anything. His words can be harsh, but his actions make up for it-- I know I can call him and he'll help me with anything I need. He took care of his dying wife like a freaking doctor, and same with my mom. I've just learned that I can't TALK to him about anything that involves emotions, because he will shut down. ❤️

Thank you both for sharing once again. I had a weird experience when I was on a business trip across the country a couple of weeks ago. There was a young man who looked so much like the friend I lost. I feel you when you say you just want to hug the girls that remind you of your daughter. I stalked this guy for like five minutes. lol Even his mannerisms were so much like my friend - the way he dressed, he was taking goofy pictures with his girlfriend just like my friend and his girlfriend would do. I just wanted to stop him and say something, but how weird would that be - hi you really remind me of someone close that I lost last year. Can I get a picture with you? 😂 i just miss my friend so much. I want him back!! 😢 Thank you again for this video. One of these days, I’ll remember to jump on when you’re live.
