I lost my mom on October 20, 2023, I am still at a loss. She had dementia, and lived with me for the last year and half of her life. We will never get over the loss of our mom's, but life eventually gets better. I can go some days without crying. You will get there. We must grieve in our own way, because they were important and they were loved!
I am so very sorry. I’m glad my videos helped you, and I know your videos will help others! ❤ Allowing yourself to grieve and feel whatever it is you are feeling is so important;don’t let anyone tell you how you should act or feel. I think it’s wonderful that you have Pip. I am sure she is grieving in her own way, too.
You will always miss her. I lost my mom in 2015 and not a day goes by that I don’t miss her. Take the time you need. I carry a small rock in my pocket every day that I found on her dresser. It reminds me she is always with me. Talk about her, laugh about things she did and said. Time doesn’t make you forget ever, but it does help with the major emotional roller coaster.
Praying for you, I lost my mom not long ago so I know how you feel. You get better but don’t let anyone tell you when you should be done grieving it takes what it takes
Oh Sweetheart I am so very sorry!, I lost my mom a few years ago and it is true the first year will be the hardest with all the firsts. My advice is to lean into all the grief. Everyone deals with it differently. Anything you feel is right.. Big Hugs to you!
I wish i could grab you and hug you so tight through the screen. Im currently here in the hospital for my mother's final hours and all I can think of is "how am i supposed to go on without her". The truth is, the raised us for this. To strong and carry on their memories. Its hard
I lost both of my parents this past July. One day apart. I was so blessed to have 65 years with them. One of my sisters and I were able to be with them 24/7, weeks took turns. They were both on hospice and we knew the end was near the last week, but it was still very hard on my siblings and me. Everyone greaves differently so don’t let anyone tell you when you should be felling better. You do you. Feel all the feelings. And remember all the memories. God bless you and your family. 💞💞💞
I am sorry for your immense loss. I lost a parent 8 years ago and it is still a process to process grief. I still have my dad’s cell number in my phone. I don’t call it, but I just can’t bring myself to ever delete it. My advice to you is be patient with yourself. You are a human being and the world will be seen differently now. There’s the life with her and now processing life without her physically here. And You carry as many tissues as you need. Everywhere you go, something with reminder of her and that is an amazing thing. And don’t ever feel like you have to apologize for being emotional or crying. Grief is the love you continue to have for that amazing person. Sending you infinite hugs of comfort.
Poor Pip. She doesn’t really know what happened. You must remind her of your mom. Be patient. She will settle down. She also is grieving. So sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in 2014. It’s hard especially if you’re close to your mom. It feels like you’re in a horrible dream. Don’t worry about crying when something reminds you of her. Eventually you will feel better but even now hearing you talk I’m crying not just for you but for my mom that I still miss so much. I think you should get a shirt of your mom to put by her dog. It will smell like her. I’m sure she is confused and wondering where she went. It might comfort her. Take care ❤
Little Pip is going to be such a gift for you, to know that you’re caring for and continuing to nurture such a big part of your mom’s life. Sometimes the waves will be huge and seem so insurmountable. Eventually they get less intense. They’ll never go away, but you learn to ride them a little more smoothly. What a beautiful way to honor her memory. 💜
Awww how sweet sis u kept ur mommys doggie when my mommy passed away i kept hers as well she passed away at 41 she was my bff my only friend so i know ur pain sis nothing like mom 😢
So very sorry to hear about your Mom...praying for strength and peace for all of you. No one can ever prepare you for what it's like to lose a parent... it leaves such a hole in your heart. I lost my Dad... and I know that I still miss him every single day. Draw on the memories...it keeps them close...and instead of only tears, eventually you will smile from your heart. Know how much others care what you're going through.... hugs from Michigan.🙏🙏🙏
Oh Honey, I am so very sorry. I know how much it hurts. My Mom's been gone over 30 years and I still can tear up. One gets better though and your dogs will really help you. Big hugs to you. 🤗🤗🤗
I just lost my Mom on the 17th. I feel like I am dying inside. I feel so alone. Thank you for sharing your experience. My Mom had two dachshunds, they and my Dad have been staying with me. Love and prayers to you.
I am so very sorry for your loss!! Losing a mother is one of the hardest things I think we ever go through in life,especially when she is also your best friend . It really does change everything. It’s a long road to ride but she gave you the strength to keep going along that road. My heart goes out to you and your family. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. The times you stumble she’ll be helping you get up!!
Your Mom will be missed when you go thrifting. Your Mom got to see that you figured out your health problems. Parental quilt. She loved you an your sisters. You helped your Mom fix up her house an yard. So l don't think you have to be worried about not doing enough. Cherish the moments. I heard that it's okay to ask for favors or help. It's one moment at a time to get through it. It's really hard . Know it's okay to grieve. It's a terrible loss. You at least had a loving Mom. You are lucky.😢
I am so sorry Kieren. I was so sad to see this video. I didn’t even know her, but I always loved seeing your mom in your videos. She gave off that sense of being a stable, loving, and supportive mother even just from the little snippets you shared. Some of my favorite videos of yours were when you and your sister gave your mom’s home a makeover. I remember how proud all of you were for her to buy that house. Even though the loss is too soon, it is clear that you and your sisters and mom filled your time together well with lots of love and fun and laughter. That truly is such a blessing and I hope you’ll be able to let those memories carry you through. I’m praying that God will give you and your family comfort, peace, and strength as you mourn this profound loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in 2012, so I understand what you’re feeling. There will be times when the grief is overwhelming, but as time goes on it lessens. At some point your mom’s memory will make you smile instead of cry. You’ll get there. In the mean time, take comfort in knowing you were the best daughter any mother could have. You’re in my thoughts.
I am really sorry for your loss! I know from viewing your videos that she would be by your side as you thrifted! My mom passed as well last August. Her death was so sudden. She passed at the hospital in New York. The worst of it was that it was the morning of her 83rd birthday! I was by her side till the end, but I felt knumb. My mind could not process that it really did happen! As the days went by, it hit me, and that's when I broke down, realizing that we would never again have our daily phone chats. GOD is my strength. You will never forget all the cherished memories you shared. It will get easier, I promise! Going back to work with the kids will help you. Kids have a way of putting a smile on our faces. Take all the time needed to grieve, stay strong. I wanna thank you for sharing!
I am so very sorry. I lost my Mother in December 2017. The only advice I have is to remember that your Mother, more than anyone, would not want her love for you or your love for her to cause you pain. The best way to honor her is to be as happy as you can be. When my Mother first died I was walking around, trance like and basically living with her. It felt like living with the dead. A sweet friend made a small remark that opened my eyes. Mama wanted for me to be happy!!! Grief is love with no where to go. I found making cards for two churches to be a good place to put the love. It does help.
It’s been nearly 30 yrs since my Mom left me and I can tell you with truth, that memories will come and tears will come with them but you’ll go on with life. For your mental state of mind you can only do your best to not continuously be in a state of sadness and believe in your heart,that your Mom is still seeing you through heavens window. You’ll never forget her,you’ll forever miss her but only with time the grief you have now will fade and bring memories of her that will eventually put a smile on your face and warm your heart. A Canadian friend that’s been where you are now, take care.xo
For 36 years you were truly blessed to have such a wonderful mum, I'm so sorry she has gone. Her spirit is definitely carried on through you and your sisters. As you were both crafty maybe you could write some of the special memories down and scrapbook them, alongside printed photos in a thrifted album. Then you can look back at it or add to it when you are feeling sad and grieving. You could even ask your sisters and your husband to add any memories they have of you and your mum together. Pip knows you were so close to your mum and have the same mannerisms that's why pip has drawn close to you. God bless you from Emily in the UK
It is ok to be sad and cry. I cryed and was so sad I thought I couldn't live without my parents but I prayed for peace and comfort and God headed and answered my prayers. You will make it through your grief you will.
I am so very sorry for your and the whole families loss. Your Mom raised 3 wonderful daughters and you all should be proud and keep her memories close. We are all here if you need anything at all ❤️
I lost my mom 27 years ago. My best advice is to give yourself time and grace. Let the waves come, don’t judge yourself, everyone’s grief journey is different. I can tell you that for me, it isn’t painful anymore. Would I choose for it to not have happened? Absolutely, but that acute pain is no longer present. Now, that may not be the case for everyone, but I do remember at some point in the last decade realizing that it was no longer painful, that it was just a matter of fact that this unfortunate thing happened, but the reality no longer brings me tears. And I’m not cold hearted or anything, I guess the wound is just healed over a bit. Best to you 💕
I'm so sorry about your mom and I know how you must miss her. I lost my husband suddenly 3 weeks before our 3rd wedding anniversary--he was just 45. It was so very hard. I remember the first time I went to the grocery store after his passing and bawling in front of the blueberries. They were his favorite. My pastor gave me some good advice--he gave me lots of advice really, but the one that was the most helpful was simply to plan something each day to look forward too. It could be as simple as having an ice cream cone, or watching a movie we both loved, or taking a bubble bath or going for a drive. He encouraged me to decide the day before what it would be. It truly helped. It has been almost 16 years now. I still think about him and miss him every day, but it doesn't sting like it did before. Big hugs to you and to Pip. I lost my mom 4 years ago and miss her so much too. She was my rock when my hubby passed.
I lost my mom in 2004 a d so when I am really missing her I write her a letter and then I tear it up. It helps me get my thoughts out to her. God bless you and stay strong
My dear, I wish I was there to hug you and listen to you speak about your beautiful mom! My heart goes out to you and your family! I loved to see your mom in your videos, and I always watched with such envy as I remember times with my own mom. I am turning 60 this year, and I lost my mom when I was 35. So I can relate to you losing your mom at this age. Losing a parent at any age is a deep hurt and yes, some tiny children lose parents, and I cannot even fanthom that type of situation, but the grief is still so hard when we lose a parent . It is true that grief is in waves . There are days even still after my own years that I just cry all day when I miss mom so much. There are days when I wake up, and I just feel her presence here . Like she is sitting right here watching me and keeping me company. I pray that during this time, you feel her presence embracing you and that through the love of Jesus and friends and family, your strength is built up and live with peace. May God wrap his arms around you now and carry you through this difficult season of life . Thank you for all that you do here on yt. You are a blessing and I pray over you and your family . ❤🙏
My mother was also my thrifting buddy and my best friend. It does get easier but things will always be different now. Grief is strange it comes and goes and just when you think you have got it together, you will fall apart. Cry all you need to and let no one tell you how to handle this… cry, laugh, scream.. all of it.. I love you and I am praying for you. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother when I was 2 weeks shy of my 36th birthday. I had a really hard time because she lived with us. I understand everything reminds you of her. I read every book I could find on NDE's. I truly believe she's in heaven but at that time I had doubts. I still watch RUclips videos on the subject. Watch for signs. It's truly amazing how they can let us know they're still with us. I'm so happy you took her dog. My cousin is a groomer and you wouldn't believe how many people think nothing of getting pets their mother's loved. I'm 61 now and time really does help. You need to grieve on your own terms as long as you need. Don't listen to anyone that says otherwise.
There is a quote that I love that says, "All that Love could do was done". She knew she was loved by her children and being a mom that is the best gift we can ever receive. You hold that love tight and never apologize for missing your mom. Prayers to you and yours.
Ohhhh I'm so sorry. My parents have been gone for several years and I miss them every day. My husband passed, my sister passed, my first love passed....it's so hard, but I know I will see them again. Talk to them, and pray to God for strength and healing. 🥰🌱🌷💐💕💗💘✝
I am so very sorry for your tragic heartbreaking loss, my Mum is my thrifting buddy too, my heart breaks for you and your sisters xxx be kind to your self, you don’t owe us anything right now, take your time, be gentle in how you treat yourself and check in when you feel you can xxx
I totally understand. It will be a year since I lost my mom( September 29, is when she past ) . I’m having a hard time again. And I cry a lot. Just keep praying and trusting in the lord to get you through this difficult time. Keep looking at your memories, that’s what I do. And I think how would my mom want me to react, ( sad all the time doing nothing but grief all the time or get up and do some things that we did together. And laughing , being positive .
I am so sorry for all of your loss. Dogs morn too. Pip may need to assert herself because she is finding her place in the world. Fin is feeling your loss as well and is no doubt trying to be a good boy. So, just continue to let him know he is loved and a good boy and in no way why you are sad. Let Pip know she is welcome. Our fur babies really can help us through our loss as well. You are doing so well with allowing all your feelings to come naturally. Watching you these last few years to grow and become such an amazing adult from the young married person we first saw has been amazing. More than anything allow yourself time to go through every feeling but understand some feelings may not be worth you holding on to. Ask yourself, "Would my mom want me to feel this pain when thinking of her?" She would be honored you miss her but may not have ever felt that guilt was warranted. Grief will hit all of us at some point in our lives. While we all go through it, each time it seems unique and personal. Appreciate the love people try to share. One day it could be them you lose. As awful a lesson as grief and loss is, it does remind us how precious life is. Remember to always express thank you and I love you when the opportunity is right. It is okay to feel anger that it isn't fair as well. I made a memorial journal for my first husband. I wrote the things I loved and put all the things from his funeral in it. I then made copies for his sister and mother. It helped me
I’m so sorry. I wish I could offer you some words of wisdom but I’m trying to navigate this myself. I’ve been in grief counseling for a while. It helps, some. I wish you peace and comfort. ❤️
My heart dropped when I saw your instagram post about your mom. I have been following your channel for a very long time now, and know how much your mom means to you. I have been thinking about you and I am so very sorry for your loss!
Grief is such a unique and personal experience. I'm so sorry for your loss. You've been blessed with so many incredible moments, cherish those memories. The pain will never truly be gone, but that love you feel will always remain. You, your family and lil Pip have each other.
Hugs and love to you and your family. It’s been 42 years since my Mama passed. I was only 26. I am 67 and it still touches my heart now. Your grieving is unique to you. Your sisters may handle it differently. Mine did. One day when it’s time you can talk about her without breaking down but there will always be a part of your heart that your Mom takes with her. Don’t let anyone tell you you have grieved enough. Only you will know. Not going back to old life just new way of getting through each day. It will get better some day but it will always tug at your heart. OCD may act up too. It did for me. That takes time too. ❤️🙏❤️😢
Of course it is hard, it’s your Mom!! I’m in my 50’s and I’m no where near ready to lose my Mom. I worry about my mental health when it happens. Ty for sharing your experience, I hope it helps you, I know it will help others. Much love to you and your family during this hard time. 🥺❤
So sorry for your loss. It's been almost 3 years since I loss my Mom. Thank you for sharing your wonderful memories of her. It takes time to process. Don't be hard on yourself. It's so much harder when it is sudden. Just remember that she loved you. 💗
I lost my mom one week before I turned 18, I am 62 now. The pain gets easier but never completely goes away. She would want you to go on living and doing the things you enjoyed together. Keeping living your life in ways that you know would make her happy and proud. There is no timeline on grief, there is probably no a week or two that goes by even now 44 years later that I don’t shed tears and wish I had her by my side. Even if it it for just a few minutes and then I carry on. ❤️
I am sorry for your loss. I definitely know how you feel, I lost my mom in June of last year. We were always together, my mom lived with me and my family. I miss her so much. I have bad days and good days. It's going to take time. May your mom rip.
So sorry about your mom. I lost my mom about 5 years ago and still miss her. It’s overwhelming right now but it will get easier! Remember the good times. Don’t have sad memories about thrifting without her she will always be there. I’ve watched you forever and have seen your mom many times. Feel the grief that’s the only way to work through it. Funny my mom had a dachshund also. God bless you and your family!
Kieran, I'm truly sorry to hear that you have lost your mom so unexpectedly. As hard as it seems in the moment as you just posted this video, getting back into your normal routine, while tough at first, is a good way to distract yourself from everything.
So sorry for your loss❤ My Mom passed in 2019 and I miss her everyday. A piece of my heart died with her. It will take time to feel somewhat better but never the same. Take care of yourself 😘
I am so,so sorry I loved when your mom was in your videos.I am glad you have such good memories.My mom passed Twenty years ago but i lost my dad very unexpected Christmas eve of 2022..He had a beautiful military service and it was standing room only.When things calm down is when things were really hard for you.Certain memories will always make you cry but there will be more that makes you laugh smile and cry happy tears.God bless you and your family.❤❤❤❤
Awww, you poor Doll. Go slow and give yourself lots of time and grace. This will take a long time-as it should. Grief is the price we pay for love. Nobody can replace your Mom and you will never be the same-this is a life shattering experience, but it will SLOWLY get easier. Lean on Shawn and let him help you through this. Hugs.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Mourning doesn’t have a time frame. Always know she is still with you . She will speak to you in thoughts and she will give you signs she is near . Look for them. God Bless.
Very sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. Hope you know that she’s watching you from above. When you go to school and see the things that remind you of your mother, smile and know that she’s with you always 🥰.
My family lost our mom a year and a half ago. It's been hard. My tip is everyone experiences grief differently and to let yourself feel the grief, it's okay to do that.
I am so sorry for your loss. You only have one Mom and it is so devastating when we loose them! Give yourself some grace! It is okay to miss her! You had a special bond and have some wonderful memories to hold on to! I will lift you up in prayer.
I am sorry your loss. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I always enjoyed watching your thrifting videos with your Mom. She will be greatly missed. Hugs and prayers.
I’m so sorry for your loss. It sounds like your mom was amazing. You can tell how awesome she was by how wonderful you and your sisters are. 🤍 Praying for you guys. 🤍🤍
Oh noooo - I am so so VERY sorry to hear this sad news of your mom’s passing. I’m praying for you and sending you so much love during this difficult time.
I am sorry for your loss. Grief has no time limit. Remember Pip is grieving also, and its all new for her too. I have been through this, from my 32 yr old brother in-law to both sets of parents. Im 65 & what I have learned is "it doesn't get easier...just different"❤
I’m so sorry for your loss! Losing your mom is so hard. I lost my mom 3 years ago and it has been the hardest thing. She was my friend and we thrifted together all the time. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think of her and miss her. I know I’ll see her again one day. I pray you have this hope as well.
Been there done that... It's never easy, and more than ten years later something will happen and I'll think, I need to call Mom to tell her this---then I realize I can't! I think going back to school will help... It's distracting to be around the kids and busy every minute. And what a treasure you have on Pip---so glad you can love on something your mom called about so much!!! Hang in there!
I guess the only words of wisdom I can say is,you will see her again! Of this I'm sure of. I lost both my parents over 25 yrs ago,and the pain is still there. But you know,I can finally talk and remember them without crying. It will get better,I promise. You were blessed with a great Mom,so keep her always in your heart. God bless you and your family at this difficult time😢😢
Hugs,I know it's not enough. I lost my mom 17 years ago. There is always so many thing that remind me of her. I lost my brother 3 years ago. Death is so hard. Plz don't let people tell u to let go of your grief,u grief as long as u need. Lots of prayers and hugs.
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom, I unexpectedly lost my Dad two years ago today, I had 30 wonderful years with him💕 Grief is different for everyone, but during the process it’s okay to have a really bad day and it’s okay to have a really good day. Make sure you don’t feel guilty for having a good day!
Kieren, I can’t watch the video yet, it hits too close to home. But I really wanted to send you some virtual love and hugs. 💕💕 Thank you for sharing your beautiful Mom with us here. She will be missed. You and your family are in my prayers. 🙏🏻
I am so sorry...I will be lifting you up in prayer...it's really really hard. I wore my mothers bathrobe for several years, to feel close to her, and it really helped me. Love you and here is a hug...xxooo
Ohhhh my gosh, I’m sooo sorry Kieren!!! 💔 As my parents get older, this is my biggest fear! Sending big hugs and prayers for you and your family! You could see how close you and your sisters were to your mom! 🩷
My deepest condolences to you and your family; I too lost my mom unexpectedly- during a “routine” surgery….I was the one at the hospital waiting for her, was there after she passed, I did get to see her right after, held her hand, kissed her forehead…the nurse even took a photo of me with my heavenly mom…it was quite a shock, and I deal with that grief 2 years now….I miss her soooo much; hoping and praying i can see her and hug her in my dreams. Our moms are usually our best friend, and I deeply miss mine. Remember all the good times, look at memories, and dont be afraid to cry / express it all. Good luck to you…it will get easier.
Oh dear...I am so very sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I just got past the one year anniversary of losing my mom in Jan of last year. The grief does come in waves and the process isn't necessarily fluid. Yes, you are lucky to have had a great relationship with her and you know the love you share will endure and help you through this difficult time. I can't really offer any words of wisdom beyond telling you that your life will be different now. You will never get over her loss but you will come to accept it and learn to live with missing her in your life. I have come to realize that I have had a loss in my life that changed me on a fundamental level. May each passing day bring you more comfort.
My condolences to you and your family. It is so painful to lose a loved one. Please take your time and heal. Always remember the wonderful times you had with your Mom it will help you. We love you!
Give yourself the space to feel all of your feelings, even if they surprise you. Like anger. Anger at the situation, that you have to live with this grief, that she is gone. Your feelings are normal (however they come) and don’t mean you cherished her any less. And having good days is not a betrayal either. Decades later and some days are still hard. I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this.
Sorry for your loss prayers. When my parents died, my dad Nov 13,2015, mom died Dec 2,2017 it was hard. I think of them every day. I drink sleepy time tea to calm me, I listen to meditation music, pray, bible study.
Sending you healing prayers. How blessed are you to have your mum's dog..She (pip) is greiving like you 😢 I lost my mum 9 years ago and it still feels like yesterday
I lost my mom on October 20, 2023, I am still at a loss. She had dementia, and lived with me for the last year and half of her life. We will never get over the loss of our mom's, but life eventually gets better. I can go some days without crying. You will get there. We must grieve in our own way, because they were important and they were loved!
I am so very sorry. I’m glad my videos helped you, and I know your videos will help others! ❤ Allowing yourself to grieve and feel whatever it is you are feeling is so important;don’t let anyone tell you how you should act or feel. I think it’s wonderful that you have Pip. I am sure she is grieving in her own way, too.
Thank you so much. Your videos have helped me so much.
You will always miss her. I lost my mom in 2015 and not a day goes by that I don’t miss her. Take the time you need. I carry a small rock in my pocket every day that I found on her dresser. It reminds me she is always with me. Talk about her, laugh about things she did and said. Time doesn’t make you forget ever, but it does help with the major emotional roller coaster.
Praying for you, I lost my mom not long ago so I know how you feel. You get better but don’t let anyone tell you when you should be done grieving it takes what it takes
Thank you. I am sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story with me.
My Mom died Dec 15th 2023 and I understand your pain. Praying for you!!!
Oh Sweetheart I am so very sorry!, I lost my mom a few years ago and it is true the first year will be the hardest with all the firsts. My advice is to lean into all the grief. Everyone deals with it differently. Anything you feel is right.. Big Hugs to you!
I wish i could grab you and hug you so tight through the screen. Im currently here in the hospital for my mother's final hours and all I can think of is "how am i supposed to go on without her". The truth is, the raised us for this. To strong and carry on their memories. Its hard
Thank you for sharing your story with me. I am sorry.
I lost both of my parents this past July. One day apart. I was so blessed to have 65 years with them. One of my sisters and I were able to be with them 24/7, weeks took turns. They were both on hospice and we knew the end was near the last week, but it was still very hard on my siblings and me. Everyone greaves differently so don’t let anyone tell you when you should be felling better. You do you. Feel all the feelings. And remember all the memories. God bless you and your family. 💞💞💞
I am sorry for your immense loss. I lost a parent 8 years ago and it is still a process to process grief. I still have my dad’s cell number in my phone. I don’t call it, but I just can’t bring myself to ever delete it.
My advice to you is be patient with yourself. You are a human being and the world will be seen differently now. There’s the life with her and now processing life without her physically here. And You carry as many tissues as you need. Everywhere you go, something with reminder of her and that is an amazing thing. And don’t ever feel like you have to apologize for being emotional or crying. Grief is the love you continue to have for that amazing person. Sending you infinite hugs of comfort.
Oh I am so sorry. Take your time to grieve and heal. There is nothing like a mothers bond. 10 years a day i still cry today. ❤
Poor Pip. She doesn’t really know what happened. You must remind her of your mom. Be patient. She will settle down. She also is grieving. So sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in 2014. It’s hard especially if you’re close to your mom. It feels like you’re in a horrible dream. Don’t worry about crying when something reminds you of her. Eventually you will feel better but even now hearing you talk I’m crying not just for you but for my mom that I still miss so much. I think you should get a shirt of your mom to put by her dog. It will smell like her. I’m sure she is confused and wondering where she went. It might comfort her. Take care ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers. Pip is absolutely adorable.
Little Pip is going to be such a gift for you, to know that you’re caring for and continuing to nurture such a big part of your mom’s life. Sometimes the waves will be huge and seem so insurmountable. Eventually they get less intense. They’ll never go away, but you learn to ride them a little more smoothly. What a beautiful way to honor her memory. 💜
Thank you.
Awww how sweet sis u kept ur mommys doggie when my mommy passed away i kept hers as well she passed away at 41 she was my bff my only friend so i know ur pain sis nothing like mom 😢
Meeting Pip gave me the biggest smile. She's your extra sister and is grieving with all of you as well. 💕
Thank you.
So very sorry to hear about your Mom...praying for strength and peace for all of you. No one can ever prepare you for what it's like to lose a parent... it leaves such a hole in your heart. I lost my Dad... and I know that I still miss him every single day. Draw on the memories...it keeps them close...and instead of only tears, eventually you will smile from your heart. Know how much others care what you're going through.... hugs from Michigan.🙏🙏🙏
Thank you.
Oh Honey, I am so very sorry. I know how much it hurts. My Mom's been gone over 30 years and I still can tear up. One gets better though and your dogs will really help you. Big hugs to you. 🤗🤗🤗
You are part of her she will always be with you.. So much Love to you God Bless your mama ❤
Thank you.

I am so sorry for your loss. ❤❤
I just lost my Mom on the 17th. I feel like I am dying inside. I feel so alone. Thank you for sharing your experience. My Mom had two dachshunds, they and my Dad have been staying with me. Love and prayers to you.
I am so very sorry for your loss!! Losing a mother is one of the hardest things I think we ever go through in life,especially when she is also your best friend . It really does change everything. It’s a long road to ride but she gave you the strength to keep going along that road. My heart goes out to you and your family. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. The times you stumble she’ll be helping you get up!!
Thank you.
Grief is necessary to process our loved ones passing and it takes time. There are 7 stages to it. Never apologize for how you are feeling.
Your Mom will be missed when you go thrifting. Your Mom got to see that you figured out your health problems. Parental quilt. She loved you an your sisters. You helped your Mom fix up her house an yard. So l don't think you have to be worried about not doing enough. Cherish the moments. I heard that it's okay to ask for favors or help. It's one moment at a time to get through it. It's really hard . Know it's okay to grieve. It's a terrible loss. You at least had a loving Mom. You are lucky.😢
Thank you.
I am so sorry Kieren. I was so sad to see this video. I didn’t even know her, but I always loved seeing your mom in your videos. She gave off that sense of being a stable, loving, and supportive mother even just from the little snippets you shared. Some of my favorite videos of yours were when you and your sister gave your mom’s home a makeover. I remember how proud all of you were for her to buy that house. Even though the loss is too soon, it is clear that you and your sisters and mom filled your time together well with lots of love and fun and laughter. That truly is such a blessing and I hope you’ll be able to let those memories carry you through. I’m praying that God will give you and your family comfort, peace, and strength as you mourn this profound loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in 2012, so I understand what you’re feeling. There will be times when the grief is overwhelming, but as time goes on it lessens. At some point your mom’s memory will make you smile instead of cry. You’ll get there. In the mean time, take comfort in knowing you were the best daughter any mother could have. You’re in my thoughts.
I am really sorry for your loss! I know from viewing your videos that she would be by your side as you thrifted! My mom passed as well last August. Her death was so sudden. She passed at the hospital in New York. The worst of it was that it was the morning of her 83rd birthday! I was by her side till the end, but I felt knumb. My mind could not process that it really did happen! As the days went by, it hit me, and that's when I broke down, realizing that we would never again have our daily phone chats. GOD is my strength. You will never forget all the cherished memories you shared. It will get easier, I promise! Going back to work with the kids will help you. Kids have a way of putting a smile on our faces. Take all the time needed to grieve, stay strong. I wanna thank you for sharing!
I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending you hugs sweet girl ❤ You'll be in my thoughts and prayers ❤
I am so very sorry. I lost my Mother in December 2017.
The only advice I have is to remember that your Mother, more than anyone, would not want her love for you or your love for her to cause you pain. The best way to honor her is to be as happy as you can be. When my Mother first died I was walking around, trance like and basically living with her. It felt like living with the dead. A sweet friend made a small remark that opened my eyes. Mama wanted for me to be happy!!!
Grief is love with no where to go. I found making cards for two churches to be a good place to put the love. It does help.
It’s been nearly 30 yrs since my Mom left me and I can tell you with truth, that memories will come and tears will come with them but you’ll go on with life. For your mental state of mind you can only do your best to not continuously be in a state of sadness and believe in your heart,that your Mom is still seeing you through heavens window. You’ll never forget her,you’ll forever miss her but only with time the grief you have now will fade and bring memories of her that will eventually put a smile on your face and warm your heart. A Canadian friend that’s been where you are now, take care.xo
Thank you.
For 36 years you were truly blessed to have such a wonderful mum, I'm so sorry she has gone. Her spirit is definitely carried on through you and your sisters. As you were both crafty maybe you could write some of the special memories down and scrapbook them, alongside printed photos in a thrifted album. Then you can look back at it or add to it when you are feeling sad and grieving. You could even ask your sisters and your husband to add any memories they have of you and your mum together. Pip knows you were so close to your mum and have the same mannerisms that's why pip has drawn close to you. God bless you from Emily in the UK
Thank you.
It is ok to be sad and cry. I cryed and was so sad I thought I couldn't live without my parents but I prayed for peace and comfort and God headed and answered my prayers. You will make it through your grief you will.
I am so very sorry for your and the whole families loss. Your Mom raised 3 wonderful daughters and you all should be proud and keep her memories close. We are all here if you need anything at all ❤️
I lost my mom 27 years ago. My best advice is to give yourself time and grace. Let the waves come, don’t judge yourself, everyone’s grief journey is different. I can tell you that for me, it isn’t painful anymore. Would I choose for it to not have happened? Absolutely, but that acute pain is no longer present. Now, that may not be the case for everyone, but I do remember at some point in the last decade realizing that it was no longer painful, that it was just a matter of fact that this unfortunate thing happened, but the reality no longer brings me tears. And I’m not cold hearted or anything, I guess the wound is just healed over a bit. Best to you 💕
Thank you.
I'm so sorry. You are not alone. Prayers.
I'm so sorry about your mom and I know how you must miss her. I lost my husband suddenly 3 weeks before our 3rd wedding anniversary--he was just 45. It was so very hard. I remember the first time I went to the grocery store after his passing and bawling in front of the blueberries. They were his favorite. My pastor gave me some good advice--he gave me lots of advice really, but the one that was the most helpful was simply to plan something each day to look forward too. It could be as simple as having an ice cream cone, or watching a movie we both loved, or taking a bubble bath or going for a drive. He encouraged me to decide the day before what it would be. It truly helped. It has been almost 16 years now. I still think about him and miss him every day, but it doesn't sting like it did before. Big hugs to you and to Pip. I lost my mom 4 years ago and miss her so much too. She was my rock when my hubby passed.
I lost my mom in 2004 a d so when I am really missing her I write her a letter and then I tear it up. It helps me get my thoughts out to her. God bless you and stay strong
My dear, I wish I was there to hug you and listen to you speak about your beautiful mom! My heart goes out to you and your family! I loved to see your mom in your videos, and I always watched with such envy as I remember times with my own mom. I am turning 60 this year, and I lost my mom when I was 35. So I can relate to you losing your mom at this age. Losing a parent at any age is a deep hurt and yes, some tiny children lose parents, and I cannot even fanthom that type of situation, but the grief is still so hard when we lose a parent . It is true that grief is in waves . There are days even still after my own years that I just cry all day when I miss mom so much. There are days when I wake up, and I just feel her presence here . Like she is sitting right here watching me and keeping me company. I pray that during this time, you feel her presence embracing you and that through the love of Jesus and friends and family, your strength is built up and live with peace. May God wrap his arms around you now and carry you through this difficult season of life . Thank you for all that you do here on yt. You are a blessing and I pray over you and your family . ❤🙏
Thank you.
My mother was also my thrifting buddy and my best friend. It does get easier but things will always be different now. Grief is strange it comes and goes and just when you think you have got it together, you will fall apart. Cry all you need to and let no one tell you how to handle this… cry, laugh, scream.. all of it.. I love you and I am praying for you. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother when I was 2 weeks shy of my 36th birthday. I had a really hard time because she lived with us. I understand everything reminds you of her. I read every book I could find on NDE's. I truly believe she's in heaven but at that time I had doubts. I still watch RUclips videos on the subject. Watch for signs. It's truly amazing how they can let us know they're still with us. I'm so happy you took her dog. My cousin is a groomer and you wouldn't believe how many people think nothing of getting pets their mother's loved. I'm 61 now and time really does help. You need to grieve on your own terms as long as you need. Don't listen to anyone that says otherwise.
Not ever be sorry sis ur hurting u lost a great part of ur heart 💔 amen shed love for u to keep going n keep making her proud 😊
There is a quote that I love that says, "All that Love could do was done". She knew she was loved by her children and being a mom that is the best gift we can ever receive. You hold that love tight and never apologize for missing your mom. Prayers to you and yours.
Thank you.
Ohhhh I'm so sorry. My parents have been gone for several years and I miss them every day. My husband passed, my sister passed, my first love passed....it's so hard, but I know I will see them again. Talk to them, and pray to God for strength and healing. 🥰🌱🌷💐💕💗💘✝
I am so very sorry. I hope that you feel loved and supported. May your beloved mother rest in peace.❤
Thank you.
I am so very sorry for your tragic heartbreaking loss, my Mum is my thrifting buddy too, my heart breaks for you and your sisters xxx be kind to your self, you don’t owe us anything right now, take your time, be gentle in how you treat yourself and check in when you feel you can xxx
Thank you.
I totally understand. It will be a year since I lost my mom( September 29, is when she past ) . I’m having a hard time again. And I cry a lot. Just keep praying and trusting in the lord to get you through this difficult time. Keep looking at your memories, that’s what I do. And I think how would my mom want me to react, ( sad all the time doing nothing but grief all the time or get up and do some things that we did together. And laughing , being positive .
I am so sorry for all of your loss. Dogs morn too. Pip may need to assert herself because she is finding her place in the world. Fin is feeling your loss as well and is no doubt trying to be a good boy. So, just continue to let him know he is loved and a good boy and in no way why you are sad. Let Pip know she is welcome. Our fur babies really can help us through our loss as well. You are doing so well with allowing all your feelings to come naturally. Watching you these last few years to grow and become such an amazing adult from the young married person we first saw has been amazing.
More than anything allow yourself time to go through every feeling but understand some feelings may not be worth you holding on to. Ask yourself, "Would my mom want me to feel this pain when thinking of her?" She would be honored you miss her but may not have ever felt that guilt was warranted.
Grief will hit all of us at some point in our lives. While we all go through it, each time it seems unique and personal. Appreciate the love people try to share. One day it could be them you lose. As awful a lesson as grief and loss is, it does remind us how precious life is. Remember to always express thank you and I love you when the opportunity is right. It is okay to feel anger that it isn't fair as well.
I made a memorial journal for my first husband. I wrote the things I loved and put all the things from his funeral in it. I then made copies for his sister and mother. It helped me
Thank you.
I’m so sorry. I wish I could offer you some words of wisdom but I’m trying to navigate this myself. I’ve been in grief counseling for a while. It helps, some. I wish you peace and comfort. ❤️
My heart dropped when I saw your instagram post about your mom. I have been following your channel for a very long time now, and know how much your mom means to you. I have been thinking about you and I am so very sorry for your loss!
Thank you.
Grief is such a unique and personal experience. I'm so sorry for your loss. You've been blessed with so many incredible moments, cherish those memories. The pain will never truly be gone, but that love you feel will always remain. You, your family and lil Pip have each other.
Thank you.
Hugs and love to you and your family. It’s been 42 years since my Mama passed. I was only 26. I am 67 and it still touches my heart now. Your grieving is unique to you. Your sisters may handle it differently. Mine did. One day when it’s time you can talk about her without breaking down but there will always be a part of your heart that your Mom takes with her. Don’t let anyone tell you you have grieved enough. Only you will know. Not going back to old life just new way of getting through each day. It will get better some day but it will always tug at your heart. OCD may act up too. It did for me. That takes time too. ❤️🙏❤️😢
Thank you.
Your mom sounds like she was an amazing woman ❤And she also raised an amazing woman!
I am so very sorry for your loss. Don't apologize for your grief. Losing a parent is so hard. Give yourself grace as you figure out your new normal.
May you find peace, comfort and strength to go through this valley.
I’m so sorry, I lost my mom when I was 25, it’s not easy but you need time
Thank you.
Of course it is hard, it’s your Mom!! I’m in my 50’s and I’m no where near ready to lose my Mom. I worry about my mental health when it happens. Ty for sharing your experience, I hope it helps you, I know it will help others. Much love to you and your family during this hard time. 🥺❤
I’m sorry I just got to this. I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom.
So sorry for your loss. It's been almost 3 years since I loss my Mom. Thank you for sharing your wonderful memories of her. It takes time to process. Don't be hard on yourself. It's so much harder when it is sudden. Just remember that she loved you. 💗
My condolences to you, and your family. My mom has been gone a couple of yrs now, and I miss her dearly. Thank God for memories!
Thank you.
I'm so sorry for you loss. It's an indescribable feeling. Don't be hard on yourself. She wouldn't be hard on you.❤
I lost my mom one week before I turned 18, I am 62 now. The pain gets easier but never completely goes away.
She would want you to go on living and doing the things you enjoyed together. Keeping living your life in ways that you know would make her happy and proud. There is no timeline on grief, there is probably no a week or two that goes by even now 44 years later that I don’t shed tears and wish I had her by my side. Even if it it for just a few minutes and then I carry on. ❤️
I am sorry for your loss. I definitely know how you feel, I lost my mom in June of last year. We were always together, my mom lived with me and my family. I miss her so much. I have bad days and good days. It's going to take time. May your mom rip.
I'm so sorry Kieran. I lost my Dad in 2020 and my Mom in 2022. I miss them...but I remember them through all the good memories.
Thank you.
So sorry about your mom. I lost my mom about 5 years ago and still miss her. It’s overwhelming right now but it will get easier! Remember the good times. Don’t have sad memories about thrifting without her she will always be there. I’ve watched you forever and have seen your mom many times. Feel the grief that’s the only way to work through it. Funny my mom had a dachshund also. God bless you and your family!
Thank you.
Kieran, I'm truly sorry to hear that you have lost your mom so unexpectedly. As hard as it seems in the moment as you just posted this video, getting back into your normal routine, while tough at first, is a good way to distract yourself from everything.
Thank you.
So sorry for your loss❤ My Mom passed in 2019 and I miss her everyday. A piece of my heart died with her. It will take time to feel somewhat better but never the same. Take care of yourself 😘
I am so,so sorry I loved when your mom was in your videos.I am glad you have such good memories.My mom passed Twenty years ago but i lost my dad very unexpected Christmas eve of 2022..He had a beautiful military service and it was standing room only.When things calm down is when things were really hard for you.Certain memories will always make you cry but there will be more that makes you laugh smile and cry happy tears.God bless you and your family.❤❤❤❤
I am so sorry. Thank you. Thank you for sharing your story.
Awww, you poor Doll. Go slow and give yourself lots of time and grace. This will take a long time-as it should. Grief is the price we pay for love. Nobody can replace your Mom and you will never be the same-this is a life shattering experience, but it will SLOWLY get easier. Lean on Shawn and let him help you through this. Hugs.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Mourning doesn’t have a time frame. Always know she is still with you . She will speak to you in thoughts and she will give you signs she is near . Look for them. God Bless.
Very sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. Hope you know that she’s watching you from above.
When you go to school and see the things that remind you of your mother, smile and know that she’s with you always 🥰.
My family lost our mom a year and a half ago. It's been hard. My tip is everyone experiences grief differently and to let yourself feel the grief, it's okay to do that.
I am so sorry for your loss. You only have one Mom and it is so devastating when we loose them! Give yourself some grace! It is okay to miss her! You had a special bond and have some wonderful memories to hold on to! I will lift you up in prayer.
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. There is nothing like a moms love and friendship, sending prayers to you and your family
Thank you.
I am sorry your loss. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I always enjoyed watching your thrifting videos with your Mom. She will be greatly missed. Hugs and prayers.
Thank you.
I’m so sorry for your loss. It sounds like your mom was amazing. You can tell how awesome she was by how wonderful you and your sisters are. 🤍 Praying for you guys. 🤍🤍
Oh noooo - I am so so VERY sorry to hear this sad news of your mom’s passing. I’m praying for you and sending you so much love during this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers to you, your sisters & the rest of your family.🙏🙏🙏
Thank you.
I am sorry for your loss. Grief has no time limit. Remember Pip is grieving also, and its all new for her too. I have been through this, from my 32 yr old brother in-law to both sets of parents. Im 65 & what I have learned is "it doesn't get easier...just different"❤
Thank you.
I’m so sorry for your loss…u take as long as u have to grieve…there is no time limit!
Thank you.
I’m so sorry for your loss! Losing your mom is so hard. I lost my mom 3 years ago and it has been the hardest thing. She was my friend and we thrifted together all the time. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think of her and miss her. I know I’ll see her again one day. I pray you have this hope as well.
Thank you.
Been there done that... It's never easy, and more than ten years later something will happen and I'll think, I need to call Mom to tell her this---then I realize I can't! I think going back to school will help... It's distracting to be around the kids and busy every minute. And what a treasure you have on Pip---so glad you can love on something your mom called about so much!!! Hang in there!
Thank you.
I guess the only words of wisdom I can say is,you will see her again! Of this I'm sure of. I lost both my parents over 25 yrs ago,and the pain is still there. But you know,I can finally talk and remember them without crying. It will get better,I promise. You were blessed with a great Mom,so keep her always in your heart. God bless you and your family at this difficult time😢😢
Thank you.
Hugs,I know it's not enough.
I lost my mom 17 years ago. There is always so many thing that remind me of her.
I lost my brother 3 years ago.
Death is so hard.
Plz don't let people tell u to let go of your grief,u grief as long as u need.
Lots of prayers and hugs.
Thank you.
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom, I unexpectedly lost my Dad two years ago today, I had 30 wonderful years with him💕
Grief is different for everyone, but during the process it’s okay to have a really bad day and it’s okay to have a really good day. Make sure you don’t feel guilty for having a good day!
Thank you.
I’m so sorry you lost your beautiful mom. She must have been so proud of you and loved you unconditionally. ❤
Thank you.
Kieren, I can’t watch the video yet, it hits too close to home. But I really wanted to send you some virtual love and hugs. 💕💕 Thank you for sharing your beautiful Mom with us here. She will be missed. You and your family are in my prayers. 🙏🏻
I am so sorry...I will be lifting you up in prayer...it's really really hard. I wore my mothers bathrobe for several years, to feel close to her, and it really helped me. Love you and here is a hug...xxooo
Thank you.
Ohhhh my gosh, I’m sooo sorry Kieren!!! 💔 As my parents get older, this is my biggest fear! Sending big hugs and prayers for you and your family! You could see how close you and your sisters were to your mom! 🩷
Thank you.
I am so so sorry. Sending hugs and prayers. I know it must be so hard for you. I lost my mom about 7 years ago.
My deepest condolences to you and your family; I too lost my mom unexpectedly- during a “routine” surgery….I was the one at the hospital waiting for her, was there after she passed, I did get to see her right after, held her hand, kissed her forehead…the nurse even took a photo of me with my heavenly mom…it was quite a shock, and I deal with that grief 2 years now….I miss her soooo much; hoping and praying i can see her and hug her in my dreams. Our moms are usually our best friend, and I deeply miss mine. Remember all the good times, look at memories, and dont be afraid to cry / express it all. Good luck to you…it will get easier.
Thank you.
I lost a dear friend to cancer. I would say allow yourself to grieve and don’t rush the process. Grief is love with no place to go. ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.
Thank you.
I’m so sorry for your loss , loved how you were with your mum it reminded me of times with my mum . 😢
Thank you.
Oh dear...I am so very sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I just got past the one year anniversary of losing my mom in Jan of last year. The grief does come in waves and the process isn't necessarily fluid. Yes, you are lucky to have had a great relationship with her and you know the love you share will endure and help you through this difficult time. I can't really offer any words of wisdom beyond telling you that your life will be different now. You will never get over her loss but you will come to accept it and learn to live with missing her in your life. I have come to realize that I have had a loss in my life that changed me on a fundamental level. May each passing day bring you more comfort.
Thank you.
My condolences to you and your family. It is so painful to lose a loved one. Please take your time and heal. Always remember the wonderful times you had with your Mom it will help you. We love you!
Thank you.
Give yourself the space to feel all of your feelings, even if they surprise you. Like anger. Anger at the situation, that you have to live with this grief, that she is gone. Your feelings are normal (however they come) and don’t mean you cherished her any less. And having good days is not a betrayal either. Decades later and some days are still hard. I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this.
Sorry for your loss prayers. When my parents died, my dad Nov 13,2015, mom died Dec 2,2017 it was hard. I think of them every day. I drink sleepy time tea to calm me, I listen to meditation music, pray, bible study.
I am so so sorry. Hugs.
Sending you healing prayers. How blessed are you to have your mum's dog..She (pip) is greiving like you 😢 I lost my mum 9 years ago and it still feels like yesterday
Thank you.
I am very sorry for your loss. It was clear from her appearances on your videos that your mother was a really sweet lady.
Thank you.
