We've just lost our father earlier this year. Now everything has little meaning to me. Why? Because he wasn't just my father, but also my mentor and best friend. Everything I do now is just not the same, because he's not here for me to share it with him. I live each day as if I'm on autopilot, just going through the motions. Grief won't kill you immediately, but will sap from you the will to keep living. Now that I've sought help, life doesn't seem so bleak, and I'm actually learning to enjoy things again without feeling depressed or guilty. I can enjoy the things we used to do together, only now I'm enjoying these things for both of us since he's gone, but I know he's still here with me. If your grief is overwhelming after your loss, get some help. You don't need to endure this alone. Because your loved one would want you to continue living with joy and happiness, not grief and despair. So reach out for help, and don't reject the help other friends and loved one offer you. That is what your loved one would want for you, and that is to live for both of you since they cannot.

My mom passed away this year, and I constantly find myself searching the internet for people who describe this the way that I am feeling so that I know I am not alone... thank you for letting me find that in this video :)

Losing your parents Never get easier been 25 years still hurts

"When a loved one passes it can feel like you are all alone so be sure to spend time with family or friends when you can, they will help you through it." Unfortunately this is not always the case. My brother just wants me to move on. My father can't handle my grief and hasn't talked to me since my wife passed. My mother died after a long illness years ago. Friends...well, they just want to have fun. If you know someone who has lost it all, try not to let them do it alone. God bless.

“just carrying on as normal feels like i’m saying that i don’t care” hit different

I had lost my grandma last year, so i know how it is. But to lose a mother, now that is something i am still afraid of, sorry to anyone who has, and anyone who will, it will not be easy. My prayers to everyone.

I just recently, June 2022, lost my youngest son, age 39. I can't even begin to describe the pain of losing your child, even though he was an adult. We were close.

💔🌹 I know what it feels like the feeling of being left behind my family has all passed away I'm the only one left I can't help but feel like I've done something wrong that they were taken from me I lost my brother back in 2019 and I wonder why everyone is gone and I was left behind people tell me my circle is not complete I am here for a reason and here on this day in EarthBound angel they say until the day comes when my time is no longer needed and then I will become as they tell me a Heavens angel to everyone who has lost someone we all deal with pain in her own way but we must go on for as my sister told me before she passed do not follow me to the Grave I will be in heaven waiting for you and I will be greeting everyone who comes there making new friends and watching over you heaven will wait and so will I and the family until your time comes then I will come for you until then I will be here waiting but as I said for everyone who has lost someone dear to their heart may your heart mend and please keep all of your memories of them and always keep them in your heart that way they are never really gone the love we hold for them will always keep them with us please be safe everyone please take care of yourselves

This poem touched my heart as it describes how I feel every day. My 25 year old son was murdered in his home this past June, by a supposed friend. You might as well had killed me too for he took a large piece of my heart, we were very close. I’ve lost both parents and although it was hard, it doesn’t compare to losing my best friend, my child.

Losing a parent is the worst pain ever. I'd go crazy. I cant even live on without them. They are important to me;( I love you mom and dad❤

[Tess]

This is the way I felt when I lost my baby girl several years ago. You can actually physically feel a broken heart. Over time it becomes a bitter sweet memory. You will begin to remember only the precious times you had while they were here. And be able to smile while doing 🌹

Why not today, embrace those you love dearly. No texting or phone calls. Embrace them and say clearly into their eyes, "I love you."

Hi, I'm 16 yrs old, and I just lost my dad on July 8th of 2023, and I'm struggling. I felt this a lot.

Depression kicked in since I lost my wife 5 years ago due to cancer. Now I'm still battling this condition and everytime I listen to your thoughts I get teary-eyes. Your lines have become my source of inspiration and strenght to move forward. Keep on writing please...take care
