Brook, everything you said is spot on and i have experienced each and every one of them. Especially those sneaky triggers that come out of nowhere and punch you in the gut! Aug 16 will be 3 yrs since i lost my son. His birthday is July 3, July 7, a month ago, my mother passed with zero warning. Im watching my dad go through this fog...they were married almost 69 yrs. I keep trying to asure him, his grief is his grief! Theres zero timeline, no right or wrong way, just however you can make it through the day. Hugs and Love to all of us in this position.
Your videos have helped me so much. Thank you for helping others. Side note: I run a dance program and you showed a clip of your daughter dancing and her talent stood out immediately. Such a beautiful dancer. ❤
Listening to this today made me think of another RUclips channel called the 10 ninety podcast....He talks about his grief story losing 5 family members in one accident and how talking about it is the best thing for him. I'm just so sorry that so many people experience this but so grateful for those of you that share it and help so many people in so many ways. I always appreciate you and it's also lead the algorithm to bring me more content that helps with my waves of severe depression. ❤🙏 stay awesome brooke.

Oh my word, you have had so much loss as well. I'm so sorry, friend. I hope your health continues to improve, and I truly appreciate your kind words about my work. ❤️
The biggest thing I’m learning is this: in this moment where all we live, no one really cares about what we - or anyone - is personally going through. Do we, even as those in grief,, take any time to consider what could be going on with other people? Not really. I’m not sure if this is a “modern/21st century” thing specific to time or an “Amerìcan” thing more than in other places around the world (specific to place) but life and all its demands moves on and it does not stop for us. How am I going to manage that is my question.⏱✈️

That's an interesting point. I think we are definitely in a very self-centered era.
