    I also would like to thank all of the beautiful people who have supported ❤️ us with their prayers and positive vibes as well as the content creators and friends who have truly reached out with love in their hearts 💕 and spirits and you know who you are

      I used to go to theropist for years after parents passed. I have not been back I even not going to family doctor off of medications since husband passed. I grieve everyday we only have one child a son. I don't know what to say except you and Chris and John's family is in my thoughts and prayers. Grief,depression is and has consumed me I taking one moment at a time. Just please know I love you and Chris and John was and will be loved,remembered and not forgotten. God bless you Marina Chris praying for comfort,peace and support, and prayers for everyone and one another in need of peace of mind, heart and soul. From someone missing her husband to another.

    What do you mean you aren’t the most liked?!? What’s not to like?!?! You are a wonderful and FUN person and every time I go to DT your theme song plays in my mind!! 🎶We’re S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G. We’re shopping!!!🛍🛒🎶 I love it so much!!!😅
    I know what you’re saying with people being heartless jerk offs. I have been there and it’s so frustrating when you are a loving soul and it’s hard to process why others are so hateful and feel no guilt. I will never understand how people can live with themselves after recklessly and often deliberately hurting others.
    I am a single mom of two and do it all on my own. Plus my son has special needs. He is autistic, epileptic, and has a brain injury.♥️

We lost her to mental illness and addiction 7 years ago. I think about her constantly and miss her every minute of every day.♥️

    I would like to give you the lyrics to a Dutch song, that has lyrics that just...well they fit thid time of life.
    And its played a lót at funerals here.
    Theres a rough translation I'll put it right underneath here.
    Hope that it can give you some comfort and relief...
    Everytime I'm hearing it, it brings me to tears ...and it did just now, listening to it, and thinking of John, you and Chris, and all of my loved ones. ❤️
    It's written from within the perspective of the one that's gone..
    Thinking of you, Chris and John. ❤
    Saying goodbye doesn't exist.
    I will be leaving but I won’t leave you
    My love, you must believe me although it hurts
    I want you to release me
    And that you will keep going tomorrow,
    But if you are lonely or anxious
    I will be there for you.
    I will be coming as the wind that you feel ,
    and the rain.
    I‘ll be watching what you do like the light of the moon,
    Look for me in everything, and then you will find me.
    Whisper my name and I will be there.
    See the things that are invisible, what you believe in is true,
    Just open your eyes and I will be there,
    All you must do is to believe my words,
    There is no goodbye.
    I will be coming as the wind that you feel and the rain.
    I‘ll be watching what you do like the light of the moon.
    Look for me in everything and then you will find me.
    Whisper my name and I will be there.
    Look into the sky, look at the sea.
    Wherever you go I will be by your side.
    Every step you take, and in every moment, wherever you are.

You are right. People did not have the right to say ANYTHING mean and hurtful against you OR your family. And they will stand before God one day and have to answer for what they have done. I will be praying for you and your family. And you look beautiful without makeup, so don't be hard on yourself. Grieving takes time. Give yourself that time. As long as you need. You keep speaking out and keep doing what you are doing. You got this girl.❤️❤️.

    My husband died in 2000. He was only 39 years old. He died of ALS. I’m totally feeling your pain right now and can relate to the shopping and such. I went to the mall the day after he died I had to find something to wear, and I went to gymboree to buy his occupational therapist baby a gift. He wanted me to do that.
    In 2002 I met my little boy that I was going to adopt he was only 10 months old. He is 22 now and has been diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome. He now has a girlfriend and they are doing good. You are so right about protecting John. And I love what you said about having a mental health issue, brain injury or whatever. It’s the invisible Disability as u know. My son did not graduate high school and I’m sure my family thinks there’s some laziness going on or whatever But he is making it out there and says he’s happy Our relationship is good some days and struggles the next I will always be there to protect him like you did for John ❤
    And I can totally relate to those thrift store, fines. I don’t like these things as well. But I’ll buy new things and I will remember what u said about you found it that’s enough and pass more things on to others instead of holding onto it ❤

They are my grandchildren and I had a wonderful time being with them and keeping an eye on my wonderful babies !! It’s just sohard for me to even think of your husband being gone ! I feel so sorry for you and yet it’s like the good book tells us !! God never gives us more than we can handle !! That’s what has been keeping me going for the last 3years !! I have lost two uncles that I was very close too!! They were brothers of my mother !! I am the oldest in a family of ten children and I absolutely feel like I have lost 3 of my own children as far as losing three of my brothers this year !! I’m sorry , but I just really can’t talk about all of this anymore right now !! Just know that I love you and I’m thinking of you whenever you want to talk I’ll be here!!

Please don't be hard on yourself. None of us are perfect and we're on earth to learn lessons. Just pray for those who scorn others because they're insecure. John was your pillar of strength and vice versa. He was an AMAZING person and husband. You're an AMAZING person. You, Chris, and John's parents are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you so much. Wish I could just give you a big hug. God bless you all.

    John will always be a part of you dearheart the dress is pretty the shoes are pretty. It’s ok to be happy hon. John won’t mind he wants you to be happy. There is a tiny paperback book called GOOD GRIEF and it explained the grieving process to me. You can read it so you know you are ok it just feels like you’re crazy sometimes cus you don’t feel like you think others think you should feel. It’s ok be you. He loved you as you are. It’s ok to be. 👍🏼🍪🥛🥰🙏🏼😇

    Marina, I haven't been following you for long, but since I came across your channel, I've enjoyed your posts, your joyful spirit, and willingness to be seen and heard as you are.
    My heart goes out to you, and I am praying for you and your son. I am a holistic nurse and would like to tell you to give yourself the gift of grace. You are beautiful with or without makeup. Your spirit comes through and touches others. Give yourself all the time you need. Grief is different for everyone, so allow yourself to feel your loss. Blessings and light,

Just remember, His soul and His energy is always around you. He'll never be far. Love never leaves. ❤ Hugs and Love to you, Chris and the Family. 💕

    Everything you found is just perfect. I think the Polo set in the navy is perfect. Try to rest if possible. I know especially until the arrangements are made and services are done and everything is followed up on, it is hard to sleep. I hope someone you trust can help you. Don't worry about how sad you are or for how long. It differs for everyone and also changes over time. My brother lost his wife Feb 2019 and is still grieving. I sometimes still break down over my cousin who died 50 years ago, not to mention my parents both gone quite many years. That was sweet that you baked because your mothering instinct kicked in. I think you are doing so well.

    He was sweet and kind hearted. We are not our mistakes. And some people don’t have much of a choice. When addiction is imbedded in our DNA one slip up could make a normal person an addict. You focus on what makes you smile about him because we know he is healed from all of that bullshit now. Don’t let careless words dim him light. 🩵🩵

I miss my nanny every single day ... I have my moments!! My dad is another story because he passed away when I was a baby so I have 0 memories of him I remember nothing I don't even have one picture with him... he passed away when he was 19 or 20! So do what ever u need to do to let it out ... everything and anything!!! Always here for u ❤❤❤❤❤ ps you look beautiful without makeup!!!!

    Signs. 😊 Our Souls go on. (Energy cannot die).
    It doesn’t matter what others say, it’s just what you & God know that matters.
    Take the Good. When someone tries to hand you negative, don’t put out your hands and accept it. Let it fall into a refuse pile.
    You are a Good person. Addiction is a disease. Brain trauma is a serious thing. Yes, it changes a person & can certainly make a person vulnerable.
    We Love you. I Love you ❤️ DO accept all the Love & Good.
    His Soul is still alive, he’s sending you signs. Our bodies are like cars. Our souls inhabit them for a time. We can have maintenance done on them and then comes a time when we are done with them.
    He Knows now. He’s no longer having to deal with brain injury or anything else on Earth.

I’ve decided to have it play at my wake. I have collected so many items of that movie! I have a picture signed by a female Munchkin!! A whole two suitcases of goodness..my kids get me gifts of the movie too! “Somewhere over the Rainbow, sky’s are blue and the dreams that u dare to dream really do come true.” Keep coming online, I love hearing from u.. I live so far away, Washington state. My fathers family is still in NewYork, those who are still with us.. where u named after yre mothers sister”Marina”? Did u have a Dad? Sorry u lost yre Mom, and now yre soul mate.. I loved this video! I feel like I know u like a friend. Be strong! “The greatest love can create the greatest grief” 🥹love Lindalu

You mentioned a book that John was a part of, how interesting?!? He had a quirky smile and you can see he was genuine. He will be missed!
    My prayers for you and Chris continue as you travel this difficult road. Please keep the memories alive! God bless you!
