    Well articulated Simon. When a parent passes away it can make one re-evaluate what is important in life. Since my father passed away many things that seemed important just aren't anymore.

    Please take care of yourself, Simon. Losing a loved one is so hard. Sometimes it seems the grief is neverending. Being able to help your mom through such a debilitating disease must have been exhausting at times, but it also has it's moments of love and happiness. You have a family that will be there for you and vis versa. Be safe and stay healthy. 💕💕💕💕

  • @MrTejlgaard
    @MrTejlgaard 2 месяца назад +1

    Sorry for your loss. That absolutely blows.
    It sounds like you wore the hardship with great dignity.
    You'll heal as you rediscover purpose in what you do. Don't adopt a short term outlook just because you feel the pressure to get things done more quickly. The easiest way to waste your life is to live one day at a time. Keep thinking long term. Don't be afraid of commitments.
    You'll do great. You'll make her proud.

    Sorry for your loss. I too lost my Mom last August. Yes, it sucks. I miss her everyday, especially our phone calls @ 8pm every night even if we had nothing to talk about for the day we still called one another. That was our time together & it was special & I'll never get to hear her advice again & it sucks.
    I do have a recording of her voice right before she passed away of what was her favorite flower was & her favorite colors. So I got a tattoo of illies on the side of my leg in her honor. It is so nice that it reminds me of all the lillies she had planted around her home.
    Prayers to you sweetheart & remember she lives on in your heart. ♥

    Hey good sir. Losing a parent is a shock. Time trowels over but never heals. Grief isn’t as much about being sad as confused for a while so be easy on yourself.

  • @stephenhegarty
    @stephenhegarty 4 месяца назад

    I’m so sorry for your loss Simon. I hope you can find the energy and motivation to strive forward and honour her legacy by being more you than you’ve ever been. As a parent myself, never underestimate the pride and love that your mother had for you. Watching your child grow by overcoming the difficulties that life often throws at us is both immensely difficult and completely heartwarming at the same time. I am sure that your mother is very proud of the man you have become, the people you choose to surround yourself with and those you have helped out along their own journeys. Your mother sounds like an awesome woman, a great role model and a kind soul. I wish you all the best that life has to offer as you begin this next chapter. Here is to not doing shit we don’t want to do, to experiencing things that broaden our minds and make us better humans and to living a life that we can be proud of.

Been watching your channel since you moved out of your apartment and built out your first van back in the day. Your videos were a nice distraction from going through the loss of my mom. Wishing you the best and thanks again for sharing your life and journey

    I Father crossed-over when I was 11 and my Mother crossed-over when I was 36. I am now 64. The first year or two will be an emotional roller coaster. You will always miss your Mom, as you should. As my Medicine Woman, who is Yaqui, told me, remember you are grieving your missing of them on this plane that filled with sadness and pain. They are on the other plane now, free of pain. That is to be celebrated. They are still with us, we just have to learn the new language to communicate with them.

Take care of yourself and when you’re ready to get back to making videos I’ll be here to watch them.

I try to be that person for everyone I know and meet now. I just found your page today and I’m impressed! It gets easier some days and harder others forward motion is important and so is knowing when to be still. I wish you all the best bro take care and do you.

    I’m so sorry for your loss Simon. It was clear to me and I assume all of your long term viewers that something significant was occurring that you weren’t ready to talk about. I understand what you mean by feeling ‘relief’, I also experienced that when my Dad passed just over 2 years ago ( about a week before we left Gabe). I have no doubt that your Mum was very proud of you because I know I am and we’ve only met a couple of times… I look forward to watching you evolve from life’s experience. You’ve been missed.

I'm a truck driver and I also moved back home with my dad so we could keep my mom home when she went through Dementia. Thank God for family and the wonderful people who run home hospice programs. That help use keep her home and comfortable on her last days. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

    I knew that you were busy, wondered if you were burnt out on doing videos. But I never expected that you were going through so much more than that.
    I took care of my mom in the final decade of her life. The sacrifice I made were out of love, and I felt blessed to reciprocate some of what she sacrificed for me.
    Your mom raised some amazing kids. I had a feeling long ago that she was a fascinating person, just going by what I had learned about you and your sisters, especially the one that went to Baja California with you.
    I look forward to more videos from you, whenever you are ready to share them. I miss the Old Dog boat.
    You have my most sincere sympathy. I'll just patiently wait for new content from you. Until then, may the healing process include a lot of blessings for you and your family.
    You are an amazing young man, Simon.

No mater how much you try to prepare yourself for it, you just cant imagine how its actually going to feel. I am happy you could be there for her and your family until the end. If you are struggling go find some sort of therapy before it starts to really take hold. Hugs keep on keepin on.
