I would love to see your thrifted DIY’s. I know it was a hard Christmas for you, I knew when you didn’t post that it was because of grief! Things will be better❤❤
I’m so sorry you lost your mom. I loved watching videos where she thrifted with you and your sister. I’m praying for you to find comfort and peace. Grief has no end date. It stays with you always. Keep all the great memories in your heart and keep doing what you love. ❤
It’s easier with time. And soon you will welcome her all over. Doing the tree decor. Etc. to this day if I drive by her favorite place I start to cry and wish she was beside me. Love you dear sending you a hug 🤗 it will get better. ❤️🩹
I truly understand how you’re feeling. This was the first Christmas without our youngest Son. He was 28. We lost him December 31, 2023. It has been a very emotional time. I wish for you to have peace of mind and the ability to move forward.❤
Not to worry, it's OK to take a break. You need it, then do it! You're looking well! Yes I would love to see thrifted DIY'S! That sounds great! So glad your back! I know it's hard. I lost my parents a year & a half from each other! 30yrs ago! It still hurts, but not quite as bad! So just trust yourself & take care! ❤️😉🫂🐾🌹📓✏️🎨🖌🇺🇲✨️
My Mom passes 4 years ago the day after Christmas! It was very hard this year. I have no idea why. My daddy also died 11 years ago the day after Thanksgiving! So struggled there too. I totally get it! It is a roller coaster this many years later!
We decorate inside and outside for Christmas. I decorate a little bit for every holiday. I would love to see thrifting videos. I love all of your videos. Holidays are the hardest without a loved one.
What you said about sharing your journey was very interesting to me because I’m at an odd place in my life with my parents. My mom’s health has declined a great deal and she’s moved in with us so we can help her. My dad (they are divorced) is in the beginning stages of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. So I’m suddenly forced to face the fact that my time with them is incredibly limited. Honestly…I’m not ready. I’m just not ready for this. I know that sounds ridiculous because it isn’t possible to be ready. But I’m scared…just terrified…of the reality of what life without them will be like. I’m sharing this to let you know that your vulnerability and honesty does actually help prepare me a bit. So please know that you are indeed paying it forward and helping others who are coming to the same period of grief that you have faced. I appreciate you. 💗 Also, I would love to see some thrifting DIYs! I love doing that too and it would be so fun to see what you do with thrifted items.
Hi Kieren you don't need to apologise for taking a break from you tube. Each person's grief is different. I lost my parents many years ago but now and again something will remind me of them and the tears will start. They both passed away before our children were born and I know they would have loved them. My Mum was always knitting so they would have lots of knitted jumpers and toys!
I'm sure your mom is watching over you & smiling. You're a sweet young lady. The first year is just flat out horrible. You try to find a "new normal," but the grief is so raw. It took me a couple of years & therapy after losing my dad for my heart to somewhat heal. ( he was my best friend too) It will be 11 years this May & I still miss him but can smile & feel good about the time & memories we had together. You'll get there, but it's important to "feel" what you need to. Don't rush yourself, it's a process. I do enjoy your content & seeing your adorable little dog 🐾🩷🙏 I'll keep you in my prayers.
Hey Karen! Glad your back,I've missed you and Pip. Completely understand that you needed a break we all grief in our on way. I miss my mom too,she passed in June of 07 and (Mother's Day,her birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas are hard times for me)thank God I have amazing husband who gets me through. ❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤ December was rough for me, too. Unfortunately, it’s just how it’s going to be. But since we know it comes around every year, it helps prepare for it. ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so sorry you had such a hard time over the holiday's. I know the feeling. I'm still grieving my mother and she's been gone for 14 years. It gets better sometimes but it never goes away. I think it's just something we learn to live with. If a woman is close to her mother in life that makes it harder. My mother and I were very close (I am her only child) so you can imagine. I had an alcoholic father so we went through a lot together. She was a teacher so we had many wonderful times too. I keep you in my prayers and hope that things will get better for you.🙏
You never get over the death of a loved one, you get used to carrying the weight of the grief. My mom died and I miss her every day. I write in a diary now, talking to her about our family and world events. You see, we had spent the previous 6 years together almost 24/7 when she was going through cancer treatment. We became very close, best friends. It felt like my world lost all its shine. I had to relearn how to live. They say that grief is the price we pay for love.
Hi I remember the year my Dad died my children were small 3 under 10 yrs old I did not want to decorate either. I think that’s somewhat normal someone is missing. My friends two teenage daughters came to my house and with my 3 surprised me by putting up our tree and decorating a bit. After it was very comforting. Vlogs are great too. I would love to see how you up cycle your thrifted finds. ❤🙏🏻❤️
TMCC is MY favorite movie... MY comfort show... although I watched it this year it didn't bring the same joy it once did. My sympathy for you on your journey with grief. Hope you keep finding support and encouragement along your way.
It is hard to lose a loved one, and the first year is the worst. My Mom passed away in 2012, and it is still tough. You have to do you. Not everyone grieves the same way.
We only have to do one day at a time,thank goodness! My mom passed the week of Thanksgiving, Im having a hard time with it,she was my best friend also! Praying for you and hoping time makes it a little easier. ❤
Hello Kieran and adorable pip , it's nice to have you both back . I am so happy your okay I can't imagine how difficult it was for you this past holiday season I just want to tell you your doing great and continue taking it day by day your continuously in my prayers ❤️. I would love to watch DIY's with thrifted items have a blessed day & rest of your week 🤗❤️
It always feels unreal when you lose your Parents. You know they have gone but as they were such big important presences in your life you just can’t believe it. Although you move through you carry the grief with you as every moment good and bad is coloured by the fact they aren’t there. I think you forever swing between happy and melancholy when your Mum especially passes away. ❤
Glad to see you’re back on RUclips and are doing okay! Everyone needs a break sometimes, don’t apologize for it! It’s very hard to lose someone you are so close to! 😢❤ Sending hugs this month!
Hugs sweetie. I understand. In September we reached three years since Mom passed. I knew it would be hard when she left but I had no clue how hard. The only words I can think of in this third year is that I have begun to 'thaw out'. I don't know if that makes sense. I guess, it's that my thoughts are clearer, and I can feel able to move forward a bit. Just do what you can.
You made me cry because I lost my Mom in October 2021, and it still hurts and breaks my heart not to have her here with me. I can only tell you that you are loved by us, your hubby, and your family. Try your best to move forward, to keep busy, to be strong, to cry when you want too but don't let it get to the point where you get depressed. You are not alone. We love you, God loves you, and your family loves you. God bless you and take care of yourself❤
Please allow yourself as long as you need to grieve. I lost my Mom in March of last year, and I think the only thing that is keeping me sane is the fact that I had decided to uproot my life and move in with her (in a different city) and held her hand until Jesus reached for it. Cry when you need to and laugh when you feel like it. Your Momma ia looking down on you, and she's so proud of you!
It'll get better every yr know how u feel its been little over 4 yrs sense mt sister in law/ mom has been gone . Od decorating for Christmas it depends on how I feel Christmas last yr I was in the Christmas spirit more sometimes igo all out and there's times I dont .
Glad to see you back! We missed you! I hope you and your Family had an amazing holiday season. DIYs with thrifted items would be cool. Also how are you and Shawn doing? I miss seeing the two of you in videos together they are some of my favs! And grief is not the same for everyone, you do what's best for you and your journey. We don't need an explanation if you need a break from social media we all do from time to time just know we will be here for you, have a nice Sunday ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words. Shawn and I are great! It's been so long since we filmed a vlog together. Maybe I can convince him to film a vlog with me soon!
I did not know about the journey you're on till now. I am still new to your channel. I'm so sorry for your loss. I was wondering what was going on, and why you weren't posting videos, and hoped that you were ok. I now know and fully understand. I do hope that it will eventually get easier for you and your family. Y'all are in my prayers 💖 I do like watching thrifted diy videos ❤
👋 It's so good to see you, we miss you & Pip! Thank you for sharing and taking us along. Did you find anything at the Thrift Store? Do you do (card exchange)? How is school going? Your looking and doing 👍 great. Everyone greaves differently. Just curious if you like to bake or make desserts? If so what is your favorite or your favorite food's? 🤗
Thank you for your kind words and your questions! I think I found a couple things when thrifting but I can't remember where I put them...lol. I have never done a card exchange before. School is good! I try to bake but unfortunately I am not great at it! I love most desserts specifically anything with chocolate, peanut butter, and banana!

You did great getting through December. it's so hard losing someone you love. Be proud of how you managed it all. Hugs

Hi
