When close friends pass we all grieve in our own way. I have had 3 very close friends pass suddenly over the last 15 years. My best friends son passed last year and that hits just as hard as if they are your own son.
So sorry to hear that, friend. -rpj
I could never have imagined how much I would be moved by this episode. I have always felt that our grief is a measure of our capacity to love. When we lose someone who is a part of our soul circle, it feels that we will never ever feel complete again. The truth is, we won't. Your friend didn't leave the planet to leave the wake of devastation behind him. He simply moved "beyond the veil", perhaps to take the message that people here are hurting, are angry and are simply not ok. As a therapist and school guidance counselor, I have had to hold space for entire school districts when students have completed suicide. I have always facilitated a collective act of altruism in the wake of the moment. I agree with your guest that humans tend to try to do anything we can not to feel our feelings, much less the feelings of shock and loss when someone makes the choice to leave the planet...but you will know when the right amount of time has passed, and you will be ready to pass into action to build something in your wonderful friend's memory. Just the fact that you used your platform today to commit to more conversations about mental health, speaks volumes about just exactly why your friend(s) love you. I'm so glad that I discovered your show several months back. You represent the best of the best here and your friend was very very lucky to have loved you.
This is one of the most meaningful comments I've ever read. Thank you so much for taking the time. -rpj
Jespo, Johnny.
From the bottom of my heart...
Thank you for carrying this conversation forward, as a man it is immensely appreciated and needed. We need what you are doing here. Thank you for your honesty, your vulnerability and showing love. This is true strength, even if we don't feel strong.
I don't know how we, all of us, are connected in this world; but I feel we are more than we know. In joy and grief, the spaces between. I cry with you and hope for you. Over the years your show(s) have shared in many of my joys and tears. It has meant the world.
There is so much I'd want to say, but it all feels like it falls short. Words don't seem sufficient.
My thoughts are with you. I love you guys. Thank you.
Take care. One Love.

Thanks brother. We appreciate you very much. -rpj
HUGS and LOve and PRAYERS for Peace daily for Everyone !!
RIP Tim, the king of good vibes and an absolute legend. We love you so much. ❤
So well done Ryan…
honouring Loz and being open, brave and honest enough to share.
I am a fireman previously in EFD and now in Victoria.
I only knew Tim mostly through Mutual friends (Finner primarily) and one Tofino surf trip we both were on and meeting on a West Coast trail while both hiking it.
I was in tears listening to this message, feeling for you and friends and family.
Your guest was so well spoken also. Thanks to you both ❤️
Much love, Keith. Means so much to hear from you. -rpj
Thanks to you both for being vulnerable enough to share this important conversation. We love you forever, Tim and Kyla ❤️
So sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing.
My daughter recovered from cancer at 26 years of age. We lost her daddy to same one year later. To this day she tells me that her mental health was & is more painful than any other illness. I believe her & let her describe it. Xox, that's painful for a mom to hear but it's absolutely necessary.
Amazing tribute for one of the realest 🙏🏾💙
So well said. -rpj
To Ryan my dad knew Tim and hope you are going through the loss of your friend well. Glad you have a few buddies that are also grieving and can help you through it. Like my dad (Graham) and Troy ❤
Thank you, Ava. I'm so grateful for my friendship with your dad. He's been a huge encouragement in these early days, and I know he's hurting deeply, too. -rpj
Wow this is an incredible episode. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. I think this issue is real and relevant for so many. A close friend lost his nephew from suicide yesterday. The wake of devastation and sadness is profound. I hope we can find the way that folks know to reach out and seek help just one day sooner.
So sorry to hear about your friend's nephew. -rpj
So very sorry for your loss. Thank for speaking of your friend and sharing .
Beautiful tribute, Jespo. Grieving with you. Much love.
Thanks Giller. Much love to you, brother. -rpj
This was such an emotional show. Thank you, Ryan + Johnny.
Very sad to hear about the loss Ryan. What an emotional episode.
I'm so sorry for your loss . There are many types of loss.My family is currently navigating the system for a parent with dementia. She is with us... in body only.
I'm sorry to hear that, Charlotte. Such a difficult disease for a family to navigate. Much love to you all. -rpj
thanks for doing this jespo. courage. love. and generosity. just like loz. i love you brother.
Much love, brother. -rpj
Thank you for this
I love the “happy, crappies”…..
Another version:
Thorn. Rose. Bud.
Thorn = crappy
Rose = happy
Bud = something that you are looking forward to. (Last question can divert your thought from thorns to hope)
I am so sorry for this loss. Hugs and prayers.
Thank you for having this difficult but needed conversation.
Member emeritus for Loz
Amen. -rpj
