Yes please a longer video on this would be great.

[helenmahy]

Thank you for this video!! Timely as one year is approaching Oct 8th

[patriciamogannam]

Yes, longer on this topic would be great. And when do you know that you are settled into the new normal, comfortable getting into making changes.

[anitazala]

yes please, absolutely. I don't plan any bigger decision before a year of two. My father died 5 month ago and I still feel a lot of fear...

[thefixitlady]

Been watching you for a week now and I want to thank you 🙏 I have been finding that what you say is what I’m going through and I’m normal for feeling the way I feel.

PLEASE Jo, I would love a longer video on this. I HAD TO make DRASTIC decisions. HUGE ones. Immediately after my son's passing. I tell people I am a passenger in my own life. Things happen that FORCE IMMEDIATE change and it has been OVERWHELMING to say the very least. THANK YOU for your consistent posting. It makes A HUGE difference in my life ❤

I think big decisions can be made at one year…. with guidance from a trusted person. A big decision such as moving, would be best saved for the two year mark or later. My opinion.

My hubby died in 2019. Married 43 years, with three children. I still have a hard time. I have family issues that remain unresolved, which carried through the big loss in our family. I am certain I am not alone in this situation.

Thank you for your channel.

Hi Jo. I would like a longer video on this topic. My husband of 27 years passed January 2023. I struggle with staying here, yet I don't want to leave....

[mikyg]

Yes, please add more on this specific topic. I used to be my mother's caregiver and ever since she passed (just a year ago) I feel that I have lost my purpose. I am overwhelmed by even the most simple decisions that have to be made everyday, and the future scares me. Thank you so much for your videos. They have been a great help. ❤

I'm interested in a longer video on this. I've been forced by my siblings to make big changes like finding a job, sorting through my mother's things and finding another place to live so the house can be sold. I'm struggling with the job hunt since that will pay the bills and rent. I can only manage one thing at a time under the weight of my grief. The one year anniversary is December 7.

I enjoy your small grief topics. My dog Brooklyn died in May and I still grieve daily. I decided to move closer to my sister three weeks ago. This is not new as I move a lot. Me and Brooklyn had many job moves and apartment moves. We met all types of people by moving. What served me well to move? Leaving the apartment where Brooklyn lived with me is helping my grief process. Knowing that he would have loved this apartment helped as well. I open the shades and let the sun in near the beautiful memorial I created in his memory.

My husband occupation was grain farmer I was a nurse for 20 yrs and then ran my own store for 25 yrs. He passed away in Apr. I am now doing the financial side of he farm and our son, hired hand, friends and neighbors are doing the actual work. This decision was made because all of the pre work of crop planning, purchasing and so forth was done. As we are going through harvest I know I cannot do this another year but this is a hard decision to make. This is 108 year old farm I don’t believe my son is cut out for the level of stress involved in running a farm or the financial challenges . We have rented land so I have to make my decision and give them time to find other renters and to rent my land w own. All of this is to much

As David and I were living in next door houses I realised that it was time to move and bring my dream to fruition. I interred his ashes the same week I started to look for my new home.. Three months after he died at home, as was his wish. It took over a year to relocate for and a half hours from that which bound us for 27 years. We've moved in to home I have made with him and because of him. The delays were manyfold but necessary for me to find the perfect property... Whilst I have waht I want, I miss his warmth and presence. He's everywhere and within me... But his absence remains a pain in my body... It will be two years in six weeks since he passed... And I knew I had the opportunity then to leave... And start again... It was the night I realised I couldn't commit to a property I thought I wanted I realised I couldn't afford... Listening to my heart.. Into my head the voice said look on the Internet.. And there was the home we have now... It is quite remarkable how this has unfolded!

[sesvaoffice]

Yes, a longer video on this would be great. I was thrust into having to make decisions and take actions that I struggled to undertake. Is there a one year mark? Can this be fast tracked? Is my brain working properly again or not. This is uncharted territory.

[starstuff]

please up the volume on this shorts, most difficult to hear. Love them, thank you

[kimlinford]

I think you wait until you are sure about it and then talk to someone who you trust or maybe a professional if it's a very big decision. Doing it that way helped me so much. It's been 2 years and I can still at times feel like am I doing the right thing? But for the most part I am going in the right direction. I had help in deciding.

[trishpurden]

Yes, make a long video. I am having to make a decision when I am grieving for my partner of 24yrs who loves someone else. He no longer loves me. I have to make a decision on where I am to live…..with this grief and rejection effecting my thinking. I am 72 yr old female having to start over without family to help, nor close friends.

[Psalm-lbgz]

How do I tell a dear friend to stop saying to me "get well soon"
Without hurting her feelings, but its hurting mine.

[wendyelliott]

After 6 years of my son passing away I tried to go back to work part time to try and get back into the world. I have been working there for 1 year and it has been a very bad experience. I won't get into the things that happened, but I feel that I do not fit in. That I have to learn to be phony and pretend that everything is great at all times. I think that I am going to leave my job and start again somewhere else. I'm trying as much as I can, but feel that I'm going in circles and do not know how to cope? Does anyone have any suggestions?
