  • In a TODAY exclusive, Allison Holker sits down with Hoda Kotb and opens up about the months since her husband, Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, took his own life a few weeks before Christmas. “No one's ready for that moment and there's no one that saw this coming. No one. And that also breaks my heart, too,” she says.

      People mostly don’t realise they have THE depression. Or that they’re ‘struggling’ with anything worth talking about. They feel fine. Which is why ‘just talk to someone’ is rarely effective.
      You really never stop trusting your brain, the one you make all your decisions with, that has protected you and gotten you this far. Ideas like his grow little at a time, discarded as ridiculous, then start to make more sense. There is bravery, sadness, terror, also practicality wrapped up in how they feel. I just pray for us all that our calibration of reality always stays accurate.

      I can relate to this! I empathize with you. My grandmother took her own life a little over two years ago and the grief still hits hard for us. She always had a dark sense of humor but it got darker after my step grandfather died from kidney cancer in 2017. My sister and I were always paranoid that she would harm herself eventually but my mom was completely blindsided by it. She was the one who found her and she has PTSD now due to it. Mental health is super important including in the older generation. I truly believe the older generations get overlooked regarding mental health and the impacts of it. I’m so sorry for your loss.

He showed more compassion for others than what you see today. He was a light. It just became too hard for him. The coulda, woulda, shoulda can never be changed, but as they say hindsight is 20/20. It was never more true after he passed. He was in so much pain at the end. It will take years to get back to your “new normal” but my heart is with you and your beautiful family.

While there is never any "right way" to heal, just as there is never any right way "to grieve," please remember that your feelings are valid, and that you are allowed to feel every bump of the rollercoaster that comes after experiencing something like this.

    What sucks about mental illness is what people say after a person that’s committed suicide. They say, “why didn’t he say something? If you need to talk to someone… I’m always there.” Let’s understand that it takes a huge amount of trust and vulnerability to share with people what you’re going through. When someone is ready to open and share what they are going through, people tend to give them unsolicited advice or try to figure out a solution. They don’t really sit there and actively listen. Also, another reason why far too many people don’t feel like opening about their struggles is because people are quick to ridicule and discourage the person more for feeling that way. In order to have a serious conversation about mental health problems, we need to recognize that it takes a huge amount of trust to do that.

      This is a fantastic point - and in addition, often when people reach out there aren't sufficient resources to truly help them, or the resources that are available are overwhelmed and backlogged. There are so many obstacles and barriers when it comes to not only sharing your mental health struggles, but getting adequate and effective help and support. It is never as simple as just saying something.

    Honestly can't imagine what she's going through. I've been with my husband for 11 years and I am more in love with him now than when we first met. I don't know what I would do if I'd lose him like this, I certainly wouldn't be as strong as Allison. All my love to her

    I lost my dad at 31. When I think about how hard it was for me to process as an adult, I can’t imagine how confusing this must be for children to process who loose a parent, especially an active and present parent. Please y’all. Always check in on your loved ones, you just really never ever know.

    My husband died suddenly 2021. As the family I knew imploded, I had to figure out the best to do for my 16 and 11-year-olds, all the while I was shattered. Along that came failures, bumps in the road and so many tears. I learned what "lean into the grief" really meant. I had to push away the toxic people who wanted nothing more than the spotlight of the loss we were living every single second of every day. I don't think he knew he wouldn't wake up, and I pray he didn't feel pain when the angels took away the center of our world, the compass in our life all in my days. Mike is guiding me and I hope I never let him down. He taught me how to love , and be loved. I hope that I give our babies just that...all of that. His memory and light are eternal.

    The biggest problem I had was asking for help, never thought asking for help was a solution. TBH asking for help wasn’t on my list, I didn’t want anyone to feel sorry for me, look at me different, or tell me I was stupid for feeling a certain way. I thought I could figure things out on my own without anyone getting involved but that back fired when my “attempt” was interrupted and then EVERYONE knew what was up. That was 20 years ago and I’m ashamed to admit that those thoughts and feelings have never truly gone away. Life is sure complicated isn’t it?

    • @ziona9259
      @ziona9259 Год назад +14

      I totally agree with you. Sometimes I don’t wanna tell people how empty I’m feeling when it comes to not being able to bring my friends together. I mean I understand they have families and other stuff to do, of course. The thing is, I don’t want to make it seem like that I’m trying to control people or force them cuz I’m not like that. They can say I can’t do stuff like that and that I should be careful to who I put trust towards but it makes me feel shame because it’s like I’m becoming a victim yet I’m treated as if I’m the problem to myself. That’s why I didn’t need anyone to teach me things that are hard for me to cope with so I only push myself to do better without having to rely on anyone. So sometimes it sucks to not being able to tell how you feel without feeling ashamed.
