My Moms love was so authentic....so losing my Moms daily physical love in the now is so hard. My Moms love is eternal....it is so deep in me, like a library in my soul, so trying to understand that my Moms love is NOT lost, its truly not. The library of my Moms love is in my soul. Im taking in everyday slowly, gracefully, and loving others & myself how my Mom showed me. Its been only 25 days. Cry, walk, loose my keys, sleep, rest, cry, pray, pray more, tired, restless, breathe in & breathe out, cuddle with my dog, talk to my dog, redirect my thoughts at work, pray, cry in my car, bake, eat healthy, drink lots of water, write all my to do's so I dont forget, feeling crushed inside my gut, pray, anxiousness, being still and relax, go into a fog, pray and cry, bible open, make my Moms delicious soup, daydream into nothing, asking God for strength, being graceful to self and allowing myself to grieve how my Soul allows. ❤Sending love to all going through a loss.😢❤

This may very well have been posted 5 years ago but it is something that is comforting to me to hear in 2024. Thank you Megan❤

This is the most magnificent and clear missive regarding grief I've even read. Thank you. I'm humbled.

Beautiful, and very comforting to the soul, thank you for this video.

you are so wise!

thank you. I found this to be very comforting

Thank you for this💔

I always do that! When I talk to friends and my family I always say before , during my old life and after ...or I’ll say before Mike or after Mike. I lost my husband in 2013 to AML Leukemia. Thank you for this video ....it really resonated with me.

Buddhism has helped so much with grief and how important it is to be able to let go. Acceptance of now in all its pain and glory and balance of knowledge that all things must end. Sometimes I remind myself in the beginning that it will have an end. Deep gratitude for every moment, and all I have in this moment. Gratitude for the beauty of my past. Inviting thoughts and sadness in for a visit, and then letting go again.

Thank you for this. As a Christian, I have often been "lovingly encouraged" by other Christians to "remember, St. Paul said to count it all joy when we go through trials" ... and various other iterations of taking the Scriptures and THINKING you're being helpful, but wounding with them all the same. (I really hate the "count it all joy" thing -- sure, sometimes you get there, and having faith in God gives me a deep joy, but it's NOT the same as happiness and sometimes I can't feel it because I AM BROKEN. And I mean, Jesus got that! When his friend Lazarus had died and he'd gone to Lazarus's sister's house with the intention of raising Lazarus from the dead, he could have just shrugged at their deep grief and thought to himself, "Yeah, but ima raise him again in a few minutes, so y'all stop crying!" He didn't do that. He was profoundly moved by their grief, and so very angered at death that he cried with them. And yes, he went ahead and raised Lazarus a few minutes later, but the point for me is that he came alongside them and mourned with them, and he was so angry at what death caused. As a Christian I believe that Jesus conquered death on the cross later on, but even that doesn't mean we just smile and put on a happy face when someone we love dies or when our lives are massively altered by sickness or loss or some other form of brokenness. And I don't think that's what Jesus expects of us, either. There's a lovely verse in the Psalms somewhere that says, "He knows our frame, he remembers that we are dust." And it means that God KNOWS we are human, he KNOWS we cannot hold up to every hard thing -- we are dust, not granite, not marble, not steel; and even those things can break down. Anyway, I definitely appreciate being told that grief is hard and dark and that even those of us who practice faith are not going to be untouched by it when it comes for us, we're not going to be able to gulp, take a deep breath, and then smile and go on. Not for a long time, and maybe not ever in this life. (I found my way here because I just lost my oldest brother to cancer, BTW. And I have a lot of non-death-related brokenness that had altered my life before losing him.)

i I just saw this video and it couldn't have come at a better time as I recently lost my father. It is visual and speaks volumes about what grief is like. I really resonate with everything you say regarding christianity and the quote from Psalms is so true we are only human and being "fake fine" which I am at the moment as I have to work is exhausting at times as I so want to say how I really feel but I think its also about others feeling uncomfortable. I have a friend who has contacted me numerous times and she just won't understand that I want to be alone I don't want to talk about it but neither do I want to make small talk. Thank you for your insightful comment.

My faith in Jesus Christ helps me after i lost my beloved doughet, I have hope I will meet her after our Lord will come for us. I can get up, I have take care for my kids, but pain is still here, come and goes, I cry. Lord comford me, when I can not hold more, but I know I have cry it out, and is so many little thougts to grive on, to let go, like a million butterflys, dozen each day. It has to go thught my heart. Christian do feel loss and pain, but we can be comfort whenever we ask The Lord. But we have to through this pain in order to live. I miss my doughet a lot, but I still have rise 5 kids that God gave me. Love to all who grives, I know it hurts.

When you are broken, the correct response is to be broken. 💔 That's profound.
