learning to process grief ...

Making my dad’s famous 10-minute-only Tomato and Egg Noodle Soup. Whenever anyone would come over, my dad would make them his famous noodle soup; acts of service was his love language. He was so full of life, so happy, and I would do anything to have another bowl of his noodle soup.

Grief … feels weird, and I am still trying to figure out what is my “new normal”. Some days, I don’t want to do anything but cry… other days, I want to get lost in the kitchen, cooking and filming. I find peace when I am being creative; it gets my mind off of things, and I feel inspired.

I want to take this time to say a big thank you to everyone for your kind messages. I feel so grateful that I got to share my dad with you all.

As soon as you said the words "my dad has passed" got me crying in my car. My dad passed 13 years ago but I still get emotional when others have lost their dad's

"Grief feels weird" is the truest statement I've ever heard, i hope your father is in a better place now

Oh no Tiff, I'm at a loss for words. Quiet moments can be the hardest. You brought so much joy to your Dad and seeing your success, definiely made him proud. You and your family were his strength. Take your time to care for your momma who needs all of you. Sending lots of hugs and love from Hawaii.

Losing a parent is super hard. Your life changes a full 360, take the time to heal and you’ll never stop grieving. You’ll learn to live with it. Sending so much love and comfort. ❤❤

Lost my dad nearly 10 years to the day when i was 20. Still miss my dad and have a good cry every now and then. He will never meet my husband or know his grandkids. He won't be around when I graduate nursing school. When I think about moments like that I feel robbed compared to other people who got to experience those milestones with their fathers, but learning to live without him has made me the person I am today. I'm so sorry you had to learn this pain, be kind to yourself and let yourself feel when you need to. I hope you can surround yourself with people who love you.

i cannot stress enough how important these types of videos are. of course first to the people who have sadly lost loved ones in their lives but also for the people (aka) me who haven’t but are DREADING coming to point where it will happen. i don’t know how i will cope or if i will ever be happy again as even just thinking about it sends me through a spiral of emotions. but these videos show us it’s okay, it’s the cycle of life, we will all meet again on the other side, and the grieving gets better.

[MilaDetoma]

I’m so sorry for your loss, but it’s good to hear you say you will see him again

[tanyaseet]

I am so sorry for your loss. It was lovely seeing his videos and thank you for sharing a small window into your father-daughter relationship ❤❤

[jeaninefurniss]

The first time I ever cried for someone I knew only online. I am so sorry. He was so proud of you. We could just see it when he looked at you. Thank you for taking him on all the trips, and sharing him with us. Prayers for peace that passes all understanding to you, Dom, your mama and sister.

You got me bawling like a child, an old lady of 66 years, big hugs and lots of love from South Africa❤❤
