Writing the last ever words to a friend - Good Talk about life

- In this good talk about life, I talk about the feelings of writing the last ever words to a friend. The things that go through your mind when you realize that you will lose someone very dear to you within just days. This was a difficult video to make. The follow-up video: • I got to say goodbye -...
Good Talk is an ongoing series where I talk about my own experiences with different feelings, personal thoughts, and dreams on a personal level. Good Talk is meant to be a conversation of spreading positivity and inspiration where I just open up for discussion in the comments, and where you, the viewer gets to share your thoughts on the topic of the video. Feel free to post long comments, and even better, respond to other people. That way it becomes a two-way communication where we can all learn from each other's experiences, regardless of where in the world we live. Thank you all for being a part of something that is very special to me.

This "Good Talk" is just admirable, fantastic and SIMPLY wise.
Sad to hear about Mike. Flying out to see him again speaks more volume than any words can describe. Quoting Winnie the Pooh, "We are lucky to have people in our lives that makes saying goodbye so hard."
That is so very, very true.
Glad it worked out that you could go see him! Let us know if you got there in time.
Thanks for the video, and I hope you made it there in time!
Last year, my grandmother was taken into hospital, and a I had a similar choice: Go to hospital to be with her and support my family or go to work. I'm still glad to have chosen going to hospital, to say goodbye and thank her for giving me the space to be myself, but also to support my family on that day. Sometimes, it's good to go with your gut, and I still feel blessed that I did.
Those moments when you make a decision instead of living with the regret, yes indeed.
I am so sorry for your loss man. I know how it feels. I lost my uncle back in 2015 and it still hurts sometimes. His death was very sudden though. In fact, the night before he died we talked over the phone like always. I still wonder what I would have said to him that night if I knew he would die not even 12 hours later. But I am and will always be grateful for the memories and I am happy that our final conversation was a good one. It's true, you never know when the end will come, but always cherish the people around you and enjoy your time with them. I hope you're doing ok. Keep up the great videos and the positive vibes man. Greetings from the netherlands.
saying goodbye
I send you a big hug, i cant find any words for what i feel right now. My sister died three years and i can relate to everything you said in this video.
I feel that making these videos in these circumstances makes me understand and cope more with the situation, and if it can be related to others, then it's just a bonus, I guess.
@@goodtalk9904 I have been working in psychiatric care for twenty years and learned a lot about how important it is to talk about how you feel and these videos are a good example of how you can raech out to people and make others see that they are not alone.
Wow. That's tough. What do you write, indeed. But then the same thing when you do it in person: what do you say?
(Though thinking about it, you don't really need to say much. The fact that you are there says so much already.)
I'm glad there was still time and you had to means to go visit him. People often don't get that last chance.
I personally like the idea of writing a message, taking the time to think about what you want to say. As you say, it's a strange luxury. But if the situation allows, I feel saying goodbye is something best done in person.
Thanks for sharing this with us, Martin.
It was very special to be there, and it, strangely enough, went from something sad to something uplifting and celebratory of life.

Oh no, Martin! I'm so sorry to hear that your friend Mike isn't well and it must have been quite a devastating message :(
I can't imagine there ever being a version of you that hated public speaking. You're so great at it! I can't imagine a world in which you don't give your epic speeches.
What do you write to someone? What do you write? This video is so incredibly touching.
The last bit gave me chills! You did it! You went for it! (I was already thinking it was a huge coincidence that you're in Australia right now but man, I respect that choice so much! You didn't waste any time and you just went for it. That's what life should be all about. It's incredible how you started of with one last letter that turned into a video which in turn turned into actually getting to say goodbye to your friend. Damn Martin! That's incredibly cool!
I am really happy with myself for making the decision to go, and for Ida encouraging me to do it.
And yes, the un-epic speaker Martin did exist, and it was through practice and taking leaps that he grew.
Thank you for this video. You're an inspiration and even if I hadn't said life long goodbye to someone special to me, yet going through heart break I can totally relate. I hope (and as I saw on your IG) you manage to say your final goodbye to Mike and that this memory would be cherrished by you. Thanks again.
Just being able to bring that smile to his face by taking a chance and going was so worth it. In every single aspect.
It was Easter 2017 when my grandma called my uncle (her son) and told him that she misses him a lot. They haven't seen each other for years, they barely talked on the phone, he wasn't answearing or returning our calls much. My uncle told my grandma that he misses her too, but when she asked him to come over, at least for a short period of time, he didn't come. He was at his mother-in-law's with his wife, celebrating Easter. Me, my mom, my grandma, and my uncle's mother-in-law live in the same city and my uncle and aunt in a city nearby (about 30 km away). In June 2017, my uncle died, and my grandma said that at least she got to hear him on Easter and tell him that she misses him. It was really hard, especially for her and my mom who have been closer to him than me and my brother were.
As you said, you never know when the time is coming, when it's our last week, or our last moments. We have to keep in touch with the ones we love and care about.
Yes, it's often said, to catch the day and do now rather than regret later. But you most often never know when the time will be. But appreciating those you care about can never be overstated.
