My son passed away from an 8 year struggle with heart failure. As I looked at his body lying in the hospital my first response was thank you Jarred for 38 years of being your mom. He fought to live and I stayed by his side the entire journey. His last words an hour before he transitioned while I was at work, was to bring him a slushy and a hotdog. It’s an indescribable hurt so I won’t try. I too am not the same, yet I believe I am stronger, wiser and humbled. When the waves of grief come, I hold on to my faith that God won’t let me lose my mind. I am still holding on 1.5 years later. Rest in Peace Jarred… RIP Ian❣️🙏🏽

My Dad would do everything for my mom and when he passed away she was crying and as I was holding her she said crying in my arms “I don’t know what I’m going to do now” then I told her “mom you are already doing it”. Then she just suddenly stops crying and looks up at me and said thank you with a peaceful smile 🥹. Just getting up and continuing to live is being strong. The Good Lord continues to give us strength when we are weak. 🙏🏻❤️

I lost my 28 year old a few months ago and it has been one of the most devastating things that I've ever experienced. I feel her sadness through this interview but also her strength. Praying for anyone who is grieving the loss of a loved one.

Hugs to all of you who know this loss. I have depression and I'd be lying if I said I didn't understand his choice. I am, however, thankful that we are approaching a place societally where we seek to understand the deep emotional pain some people carry instead of just condemning them for not being able to carry that weight any longer. I had a thought as I watched this: when I was growing up, society was quick to label this a sin and condemn the person. And I think we miss the lesson when we do this - the lesson being that emotional pain is profound and heavy and some folks seem to carry not just their pain but that of other people as well. Condemning someone may seem easier than confronting the fact they were collapsing and we either missed it or could not do anything to change it. But we can't learn from what we dismiss. I have deep respect for her that her anger was never with her son. She didn't condemn him. She simply asked why he was given such a burden. It's a selfless act to respect his choice, to recognize she couldn't fully know the pain he was feeling but she did know how long he fought, how tired he was and the toll it was taking. My heart goes out to her and to any of you who know this loss or who battle daily with depression.

@browngirl2533

⁠@@SamuraiCats🤔 Mmm, I don’t think people “condemn” those who commit suicide by telling them it’s not God’s will for them to take their life. That’s not condemnation, more like education, because what IF it’s true? What if it’s actually is a sin to take one’s life? I would think one would want to know ALL truth before making a such a decision

There isn no end, true- but somehow, it does ease. It is truly one day-one moment at a time. I was still grasping with the reality and pain of losing my father Sept ‘22. Still in grief, then so unexpectedly we lost my mom June ‘23. I was very close to both, but my mom and I moved to the same city together, 32 years prior, and it had only been just the two of us here. I married but after separating, my daughter and I moved in with my mother (mostly for my own comfort-she was a part of my world no one can replace). The last few years, her health was compromised and I became her caregiver. Losing them left me so lost. The grief is a very real, very deep, difficult place-I feel you on that. It took mom coming to me in a dream, fussing at me to take better care of myself, because I was going down hill, for me to begin feeling some relief from the deep grief. I send Light and Love your way. I send you my condolences. It’s…one…moment at a time, and you can make it through. As others told me- give yourself grace. I hope your memories can help you find comfort, too.

For her to say she respects his decision is the strongest thing I’ve ever heard. She’s an incredible woman

Grief is also people’s way of showing love. But you can love someone without grieving them. You’re not obligated to grieve to show your love. You can focus on the good times and qualities they expressed without yearning to experience them again or feel sad that they stopped. Your memories can propel you forward with expectant joy about what else is in store in your life.

I was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2010 that left me disabled and unable to work. My life is one of struggle now, after I worked so hard to make something of myself. To bring myself out of a life of poverty, an abused child who aged out of foster care, I started with nothing. I lost it all much faster than it took to earn it. If it wasn't for my children I would have called it quits many years ago. I believe in God, and God knows my heart. Just as he knew my daughter's. We WILL be reunited one day.

In the black community we do not want to see psychiatrist but sometimes it's necessary. Us as black people think that we are crazy if we seek psychiatric help.

Help with mental health doesn’t always have to end in going to a psychiatrist but can be a s simple as bereavement counselling or just talking to group or individual counselling. Things like cognitive therapy can change a person’s thought patterns and harmful behaviour too.

It's so hard to take the time out and get the help you need, I choose to throw myself into work, which was a mistake. Now, I have this overwhelming anger. And it shocks me cause I'm a healthcare worker, and I should be able to handle death and grief, but others' grief seems so much easier to process than mine.

It's been 9 months my son was murdered and listening to her speak about grief and the explanation what is to continue living thru it.

I met Regina King when I didn't know who she was. She is a kind, talented brilliant, humble and beautiful lady. I love her.

Felt every part of this interview, love her quote "grief is love with nowhere to go"

The fact that she can discuss her sons passing with such dignity , grace , intelligence and beauty is mind boggling . Id be a wreck - even years later . Regina is such a beautiful and exemplary woman . EDIT - I also hope people will watch this to understand mental health - the pain of depression - it's not just feeling sad. There are many components .

No, loving Jesus & being a practicing Christian is NOT a magic fix to depression. It’s evil to tell people it does; you’re literally costing people their lives by perpetuating that lie. No one would be stupid & reckless enough to say “Jesus will heal your broken bone or don’t take life-saving medication because Jesus will just fix it”. People need professional help & often medications for mental illnesses, & when people like you spread misinformation, you are talking people out of getting that help or causing parents to keep their kids from getting help because they stupidly believe they’re not trusting Jesus by getting medical care. What needs to be talked about by Christians who have struggled with depression & suicidal ideation is how to turn to & be with Jesus when you feel betrayed & when it hurts so much that you can barely breath.

I’m a Mom living with and fighting depression over 40 years. My adult son fights depression everyday. He told me the same thing, I’m so tired of fighting this. Fortunately he’s still here, fighting it everyday. A person’s choice of suicide is not cowardly. It’s theirs! Until you’ve been in that blackest of black deep pit clawing your way out, please be kind and don’t judge! William Styron’s book “Darkness Visible” describes it perfectly. God bless you Regina. My deepest condolences 😢.

I have no idea what you are going through, but know that I will share your video in my classrooms, Stand on our God's promise!

I understand Regina. My son passed away in his sleep at 29. He wasn't perfect and had emotional issues trying to live day to day with so much going on. Grief is the alphabet of emotions. You hit ever letter and then some. There is no preparations for what comes with it. He was my half. I am not whole. It's not easy. I wake up every morning hoping it was a dream, I go in his room hoping he be in there. Yes he is always be with me, because he part of me. Good to hear Regina' words I can relate.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Parents shouldn't have to bury their children.

She said... everyone around her experienced Ian's passing in their own way, but she is Ian's Mom.... I felt that in a strong way. Losing both of my parents and being their only daughter... hearing my cousins say things like they were parents to them... TOO... Hurt and triggered me so much. I had to work it out with my therapist. I am their daughter. Period. No one can claim that in the same way that I can. The grief journey is hard. The depression journey is also a booger.

I'm happy Regina did an interview when SHE was ready. I've been a fan from day 1. I think of her and pray for her often. I'm part of the one and done club and I can't imagine grieving my son. She will forever carry Ian in her heart. So many profound statements made during this interview had me in tears. For so many, grief is like walking out your front door and not feeling the ground under your feet.

"Grief is a journey. Grief is love that doesn't have where to go". Very powerful, Regina. Very powerful!

Thank you Regina for talking about your son’s journey. I lost my significant other, Matthew, to suicide 4 years ago. I never thought I would survive the unimaginable emotional pain that came after that. But, here I am 4 years later. My heart goes out to anyone who has felt the grief of suicide.

Grief is people’s way of showing love. But you can love someone without grieving them. You’re not obligated to grieve to show your love. You can focus on the good times and qualities they expressed without yearning to experience them again or feel sad that they stopped. Your memories can propel you forward with expectant joy about what else is in store in your life.
