"Can you see it? Can you see it? Can you see it?" IYKYK
That made my day lol
Like a warm, chaotic hug
I have searched for that kid who inspired the trend so many years ago! I cannot find that beautiful soul and his lovely momma! ❤
This is how I'll remember Grace.
@@itsgracewhenever my daughter is very adamant about seeing something I pretend I am you and she is the camera lens CAN YOU SEE IT? 10/10 giggles every time.
Losing a pet and grieving six months later is neither silly nor unusual. I lost Elmo 5 years ago and sometimes I still just have to sit with it. I still talk to his photo on the fridge, tell him I love him, tell him that he can't have the cheese. Goose was family and a good friend, she was beautiful and you get to grieve her whenever you want. Love.
Yeah I still see my little Neptune sitting in her favorite spot on the top of the stairs or on her pillow in front of the fireplace. She's not there, but I still see it! Think about my little girl all the time.
thank you for this!
If you aren't depending on the RUclips algorithm gods for your income, then just post what and when (or if) you want to! I am always glad to see your vid pop up in my feed and love hearing what you have to say. I think knowing I'm watching something that you would have rather not done would make me sad. I don't like the thought of you posting because you had to feed the hungry algorithm. So if the inspiration strikes weekly or only twice a year, most of us will be here to watch. It's great to see you thriving!
RE: goals and such... I'm a "no 5 or 10 year plan" gal. I had a friend tell me that I'm constantly learning and taking things in and exploring, so that when life hands me a twist (good or bad), I'm able to roll with it and say, "This is what I'm doing now." I also don't get disappointed when things don't turn out as expected... because I never have a vision of expectations!
Yes to all of this!🫶🏼
Thanks for this awesome comment!
My cat passed away 10 years ago this november. I think about him constantly still. Its ok to be sad about losing a pet for a long time. I know other people dont get it, but it is really hard to lose someone that has been with you for years, doesnt matter if its an animal, theyre part of your family too (dare i say, more important than most family members)
Agree!
You said it better than I could have. I really didn't think I would adopt another dog after mine died last year. I still feel that pain. And you're right, they can be more important that most family members, even if you're really close with your family. Because our pets depend on us for so much and we depend on them for emotional support, the relationship is intense and deep. I hope your heart has been refilled with all the great memories you had with your cat.
Ugh my god yeah I lost Neptune in 2017 and still miss her and think about her.
I find the way you speak so openly about how you’re feeling so incredibly refreshing. I’m so grateful that you share your perspective, whether that’s here or on the podcast or in writing or standup.
It’s been amazing to watch her evolution over the years. DailyGrace era was more humor masking or self depreciating remarks as opposed to the more honest and reflective phase she’s moved into lately. Grace has always had a positive impact on the internet but everything she’s talked about in this video is really respectable and setting a great example for people to take care of themselves and not be afraid of their feelings.
Dear Grace, I'm so happy that you're making content regularly again! I get that it's stressful to have to keep up an energy and enthusiasm to keep posting, but from what I have seen from the people leaving comments, we just want YOU to do what YOU want to do! Sharing what you love and talking to us about what's on your mind is pure gold to us. I've watched you for a decade and a half (holy cow!) and I have loved to follow you in good and bad times. They have a tendency of hitting me the same time that they're hitting you. I hope that your next year will be exponentially better than this year! Oh, and as a European I'm mourning not being able to see your show. But that's my fault, I wasn't born the right place. I shouldn't have chose to do that. Anyway, love to you and your loved ones!
Thank you for such beautiful encouragement! 💖🙏🏻
I got really h*gh and watched this. I needed to hear all of this and I think a part of me is about to start healing. Thank you for this Grace 💚
Hell yeah 🔥
I'm sorry for your loss Grace.
"You just have to keep trying" hit WAY deeper than it had any right to 😭 thank you 💗💗💗
You talking about losing Goose earlier this year was so helpful when I lost my dog of ten years last month. I revisited some of that and it really helped in contextualizing my grief at first. Like a reassuring friend. Thanks Grace
💖
I resonate with the sadness felt in regards to losing pets. I lost what I consider to be one of the soul dogs in my life in april last year, just one week prior to my birthday.
Everyone in the family commented how a 6'2 giant could be so gentle to a 1.3Kg yorkshire terrier, and it was quite easy to explain - she was born in our home, rejected by her mother for being so tiny, and survived only because I stubbornly forced the mom to feed her. Despite some slight health problems as she got older, she made it to almost 14 years of age. We were inseparable, every family birthday and christmas event had at least one picture of me with her on my lap. I knew I'd lose her and I knew it'd hurt a lot.
We rarely get to think about how present they are, how much they help us deal with our emotions, what life becomes without them until we face that reality. Losing a family member saddens me, but losing a pet that was born and died by my side, every single day of its life, is a heart shattering experience, and it still makes me cry to this day. You just learn to convert those tears of sadness into tears of joy, reaching out to all the memories of happiness that you shared and feeling lucky for the ability to experience all of it, no matter what happened in your life during that time.
Despite all of this, and now owning 3 adopted cats for the first time, I couldn't last more than a month without another dog. It's my way of celebrating all the special animals I lost, to pass their love to a new family member of my house. I understand that everybody's different and they process loss differently, it's just my way of honouring their memory.
Lots of love to you and best of luck to all of us, navigating this uncertain path of life. Also, the internet really is weird huh? I think the thought comes with age x) not old, *experienced*
💓💓💓
Helbig, you're a gem. You *do* just have to keep trying. I, too, am learning that it's time to get out of the massage chair and push the bobsled. Thank you for holding space for the grief of losing a beloved pet, and for sharing your wisdom with us here on youtube. Cheers to a kickass solo show 🎉🤸🏻♀️✨
💖
The hair is looking so cute!
One of the best ways to cope with the loss of someone, as i've been told, is to
A. Try and shift your perspective and think how privileged was i to even get to share those years w that person/pet. Although those years are past me, i'm lucky to have known unconditional love like that.
B. The best way to honor a loved one, who's passed away, is to carry their legacy forward. Make sure you share the love, kindness and kinship that you received from this person/pet w someone else, in the same fervor and tenacity. Be the same figure to someone else, that they were to you. Celebrate their life by honoring their legacy.
Beautifully put! Thank you
My cat passed away six years ago, but he came up and laid at my feet before he did. I was stuck in that loop of figuring out he was gone, reliving those moments, over and over again for months. We'd only had him for two years.
One of the only things that helped me accept how enormously sad I felt about it was that my heart didn't care that he was just a pet, or that we hadn't had him that long, relatively speaking. I really loved him, and when he was gone my heart couldn't tell the difference between that and losing a human relative. He was my baby, and even though it's been six years it still hurts if I dwell on it for too long.
The grief didn't go anywhere, for me it just got easier to carry. All that to say, 100% agreed on holding space for your grief. It was the only way that I could learn to live with it.
thank you for sharing this! I relate VERY much!
Grace I am 24. I’ve been watching your videos since I was 11-12? I am the age now that you were about when you were in the early days of your Internet journey, which I know you’re thinking, is absolutely wild. It is! But I’ve grown up watching you grow and I will forever be rooting for you. This is the real, raw, true content that I love seeing from you and hearing on the podcast! You are and forever will be my role model, which is weird right? But the best role models are crazy imperfect people.
Do you see it? Can you see it? Did ya see it?? I fucking love you. I will forever be in your little corner and I am glad you’re still here you weirdo ❤
Ps, I am graduating paramedic school next week somehow?? Your weird part of the internet has kept me going and your pessimistic optimism is what kept me going. Love you, friend! 🥹
One thing we can all take from this year: our love of Goose, and the memories of her vibrant contributions to this channel❤
RIP Goose. I loved her.
I lost my cat, Malcolm, right at the beginning of the pandemic so I felt like I couldn’t process the loss well. My husband and I adopted a cat, Skully, in August 2023 and the love has filled my heart again.
Immediately, I'm sensing a change in direction. I always try to foresee what may happen later on. Very important to anticipate when you play pool or chess. This video is no way like chess. OK I'll be brave and continue watching it
I wanted to comment on what you were saying about Goose. I lost my cat November last year, it was really quick we didn't expect it but she was quite old, and I still feel sad even though it's been over a year. I'm so used to certain things like having to close doors and not being able to leave food out on surfaces that when I do this and remember there's that pang. Pets are our family, and thus you don't have to feel at all bad and it's absolutely perfectly normal to be sad still because you loved her deeply. You're allowed to be sad for as long as you're sad. Loss is really difficult. Also this comment is super long but I just also wanted to let you know I really really appreciate your honesty about the difficulty you've been having making content, I feel like that was probably hard to admit, but we're (cause I'm sure I speak for many others) here for whatever you wanna give in whatever capacity you wanna give that. We're here to support you as a person, not in any one specific way. You've gotta do what works best for you, and as someone who's been a supporter of yours since 2011, I'm here for Grace the person not just Grace the content creator.
thank you for this beautiful comment. and yes - getting used to doors and other things *not* having to be a certain way anymore is so strange. every time I drop food on the floor I rush to clean it up and then get that PANG. it hurts but then I also think at least I don't have to worry about whether or not she's going to have diarrhea from whatever the fuck she just scarfed 🙃
that sweater looks stunning on you!
cannot explain to you how impactful your realness is. thank you.
Can ya see it? Can ya see it? CAN YA SEE IT!! She did it!! YESS!! I've missed this SO much!! If ya know, ya know!! (Old school Grace)
The bit about setting boundaries and being discerning about self care really resonates with me. It is a lesson, now that I’m cresting into mid 30s, I am continuing to learn. The urge to get a ticket at the disassociation station and log my brain off is so strong most of the time, but that rarely (albeit sometimes) makes me feel genuine fulfillment and joy. Learning to appreciate the mundane things (moisturizing, slow jogs, hot cups of coffee, simple conversations with loved ones) is a work and progress.
It is fascinating to grow up with creators like Grace and follow a similar trajectory. Probably a niche audience to target, but it does feel less isolating to hear someone else in the process of learning the same lessons.
Best of luck on the comedy show! 5:23
wow "the urge to get a ticket at the disassociation station and log my brain off is so strong" is SO REAL
I lost my dog 4 years ago this December. I probably cried every day for 6 months after. I still think about him every day. The sorrow we feel after losing a pet is in proportion to the love they gave us.
absolutely!
Lost a dog a little over a year ago, and still miss him every day ❤ It gets easier with time but totally normal
I just wanted to come and say thank you for being you and being real. Your channel has become such a safe place for me and your recent videos have really touched my heart and reminded me I’m not alone. Been having a hard year and a lot of what you said in this I need to do for myself and remember to take care of myself in whatever baby steps I can do to get the ball rolling. 💚
Hi grace, thank you for bringing up pet loss. I know it’s a hard topic for you and same with me. It hasn’t even been a week since I lost her and hearing that was really nice❤ *wipes tears and snot*
💖
❤
There's unexpected, and then there's NOT what I expected
I love this!
Well said!
I'm a violin teacher. I spend my working hours telling my students (same ones, different ones) over and over - you have to be willing to play badly in order to play well. Of COURSE I'm talking to myself - and not just about the instrument. As an adult, it seems harder and harder to give myself permission to mess around, to decide "nope, that's not working" - good thing I get to hear it every week when I tell it to my students, eh? 😅
yes!
My heart dog is literary at my hip as we speak and I'm immediately pre-mourning her and I'm crying.
Six years later this year and I’m still grieving my dogs loss, grief isn’t linear and it’s okay to still feel it
On October 2nd I lost my cat, she was my first pet and my little lady who meant the whole world to me. It was a really sudden decline and she wasn't that old. It's so painful, I still cry when I think about her. It was also my birthday, the day that I had to say goodbye. It was weird and surreal.
💓💓💓
Love you so much grace !! I’m glad you’re doing so much better, I’ve been watching for years now and I’ll always appreciate your content !! 🫶🏼
I had no idea Goose crossed the bridge :( Lost our family dog as well in Januari, she was 17 years old. Still gets to me almost a year later. Much love
Follow what feels good 💜 as much as I love when a new video of yours pops up, I have fun watching because it feels like you had fun making it, and you deserve to be having fun. When I had abdominal surgery for endo in June, it ended up being episodes of TMGW where you guys talk about random topics and videos of you vlogging whenever you felt like turning on the camera that best helped me pass the time through recovery because it was fun to feel in on whatever fun you were having. Whatever you feel like making whenever you feel like making it, people will always be here to watch it and engage. So follow what feels good. You deserve to feel good 💜
💓
I believe we have to be open to ideas. I also get we shouldn't try and do everything we hear online. But I appreciate someone imparting their truth. There was a lot you said that aligned with my experience of dealing with grief and about moving and doing things, and I'd add, even if the things you try fail, you'll still learn something.
great point
I’m glad you wrapped up the mall thing by bringing the Internet up. I got caught up in the metaphor and forgot what it was phor. RIP Goose. Love to you.
Your hairstyle looks so good on you; the chemo curls are way cute! I had the chemo curls and thicker hair too after chemo #1, several years later after chemo #2 my hair hardly came back at all. Oh well, it’s just hair. lol I understand the sorrow of losing a beloved pet, it hurts for a very long time. Stay sweet and take care ♎️☮️
Grace, you never cease to amaze
this felt very therapeutic. Thanks
I lost my cat this year and I’m still not over it I don’t know if I ever will be. I started watching you about 13 years ago and she was only 5 years old back then. Just wild how the time passes. Love & strength to you 🖤
“There are times where you need to make things move” really resonated with me, currently at that time
Beautiful ramble, we are forever maturing in our own right
I just wanted to thank you for being so open about your cancer journey. My son got diagnosed with cancer 2 and half years ago. He's doing well right now, and I've just really enjoyed watching your videos. They have been very therapeutic in a way. Will your live show be recorded? I won't be able to see it in person. My husband and I use to watch your videos a long time ago (wow, I feel old). Thanks again for your honesty and openness.
i'm so glad to hear he's doing well! the show won't be posted this time, but we're figure it out in the future!
we lost our beloved family dog in january. we got him when i was 7 years old and he was six weeks. he lived to be 13 which is super long for his breed! i still think about him every day and shed a tear or two. there will never be another dog like him. what a privilege it is to love and be loved like that. i have my own dog now, he’s completely different but i’ve come to really love him too. i’m sorry for your loss, i know they’re up there rooting for us❤️❤️
I lost my German shepherd years ago and was shocked by how hard it was. My dad recently died, and I have to say, losing a parent is exponentially more painful, but both experiences were hard!! Honestly, losing my shepherd rocked me to the core. Losing my dad changed me as a person and I’ll never be the same again and I cry every day 6 months after, but grieving both deaths is hard!! Our dogs and cats connect with us on a level that solicit our grief
The main thing is your cancer free. So Happy New Year and stay healthy.
I hope you take that tour on the road. Would love to see your show ❤❤
I got the chemo curls, too! They have a mind of their own. Your hair is looking great!
Thank you! What a silly new thing!
Grace, make the content you want. We’ll follow you anywhere ❤
literally watching this contemplating wearing a headband to work or not (becuase it’s out of my comfort zone) but here I am doing it because grace recommended it!
Grace I hope that you have a great Christmas and a happy new year
Grace, as a 36 year old in the throws of adjuvant chemo for breast cancer I just want to say thank you!. This can be so wildly lonely and abnormal feeling, you documenting your journey has made me feel so less alone. Xx
Thank you for content like this. Just thank you.
I'll never forget when I first heard you say, "The only thing I know is that I don't know", and that's when I knew we would get along.
I really needed to hear that last part, about it being okay not to know. Because that’s been heavy on my mind lately. Love you, Helbig!
Lost my 4th family dog I've had so far in life in February. She was with me for over half of my life (ages 15-31). It's been almost a year, but it's still so hard. Every time I go home, I have to remember that she won't be there. Sometimes I think I hear her walking around, but it's not her. It's incredibly hard and I'm glad more people are talking about it. They are family members. I have my own dog now and I've had her since she was 6 weeks old. She's 9 now. I'm hoping we have at least 6 more years together, but...that one is going to be ROUGH. My soul dog.
Ugh. Totally understand. The soul dogs cut deep. And, hilariously, they’ll never know their own impact! Those “bitches”!
Graaaace, love this! Thanks for being you and open with us, we miss Ms. Goose too! But, I’m sure whatever you come up with will be great! Ever thought of doing a Wordle or Connections vid??
if it's possible (and if it's something you want, ofc!) then maybe you could combine the two and record your live stand up shows and post on youtube? maybe you've already had this idea! either way, whatever you choose to post on RUclips I will watch 💙
Thanks for your thoughts. Thanks for the toys. Good luck at your show!! Goose forever😍
the analogy u used to describe the internet with the massage chair from the mall was honestly perfect 😂😂
Aw rest in peace goose :( i hope you feel better and are able to heal from it!
Thank your for this great and genuine advice Grace! You are brilliant
Feel free to just share your thoughts with us as you want to, Grace. :) I think most people in the community are old enough and mature enough to understand that we can all just have a little convo and not take each other's word as gospel. I wouldn't worry too much about whether or not you're qualified to share advice or however you want to say that. Back in the day we all used to have little chats about life and what we've learned for ourselves and I think it's just human nature to want that.
It's such an interesting thing to have a big platform. It's all in how you use it. I think the people who end up "influencing" keep their following very much at arms length, outside looking in. On the flip side, when you're down to Earth with your viewers and just simply talk to them in a normal fashion, it comes across as more of a chat and less of a person with a big following telling others what to do. It's all in the tone and the vibe you create with the community! And you've got yours locked down already! 🎉
The Internet is very strange. Did you know your face is on my phone in my bedroom in Virginia right now? How did you get in here?!! Don't look at the mess! I'll get to folding those clothes on the chair laterrrrrr
Also... The massage chair at my mall always poked you right in the butthole. I did massage chair once and never again, like D.A.R.E. for massage chairs.
🙏🏻
I like what you said about self care.. that’s got me thinking so thank you. I’ve been struggling lately with feeling like I there’s something wrong with me when my friends are pumped about ice baths and yoga and mindfulness and I feel like I’m being miserable if I decline but it’s just not for me. Gonna look deeper to find my own thing 🙏🏻
So sorry for your loss Grace!❤
What you have to say has value, regardless of what some algorithm based on making money for RUclips says. So just do your thing and that's it!💪
Insightful as always 🦋
Can’t wait to see your live show soon
Grace is the OG RUclipsr! Been a fan for over a decade!
I will watch anything you post! Hope this helps 💗
Thank you for talking about Goose. I've just had to say goodbye to my 16 year old pup, Spyder, yesterday. Like all of my pets, he was, and still is, family. I know from experience that I will carry the sadness of this loss forever, but I also know that I will remember the joy he brought into my life forever. I hope that you will continue to feel your feelings about Goose. They are not silly. They are a part of you. Be well, Grace.
Thank you for this! I really wish you the best happiness, you deserve it! And also wanted to say that sweater color looks amazing on you.
Heartbreak is the price we pay for an amazing dog ❤️❤️ we never stop missing our pets but the time together is so worth the pain, even if it doesnt always feel like it
Goose was a family member. It's natural to grieve for a long time. ❤❤
I feel ya about Goose: we lost our dog this year too. I'm amazing how much I have cried. I even prayed - which I don't do anymore - and begged God to just bring him back. Ugh.
Stunning thoughts, Grace!
Nice video, thank you for sharing.
i'd love to see your standup if you ever take it to the east coast 💜
The mall tangent was amazing
What I've discovered in the last few years is momentum is nice but willpower is important you're talking about starting the bobsled and that's what it is willpower, & you can manufacture willpower
Died laughing at you explain the mall lol. It does seem like a distant dream... Even though i went to the mall like a week ago.
I really don't think there's anything silly about still feeling sad about losing a pet. Love is love and it doesn't matter that intellectually you know you'll probably outlive them, love doesn't follow a logical schedule. I think the important thing is to try and understand that while the loss will never fully heal, the love you gained from the selfless way pets give us their love makes our hearts grow greater than their loss and so the whole thing was worth it in the end. It's amazing and its hard and its hard to put into words that don't sound silly but the feelings? Nah never silly!
so beautifully said
Grace is over hear making me cry and giving me therapy. Thanks for the past 10 years on RUclips
Thanks Grace!!!
I never really learned from the past, I count on the ability to learn from the future
As a fellow Weekly Upload challenger... yeah, it's forced me to stay consistently productive, but like, by becoming a video-producing machine instead of getting around to all my other life goals. I don't know how much more I'd be getting done otherwise, but at least I know I'm doing something now.
9:08 This is a reminder I needed to hear today. 💕
Thank you for your content Grace. You are amazing!! 😊🤗
Is it maybe a possibility to upload a recording of the show (and future standup shows) on this channel? Would love to see them!
maybe down the line but for now trying to get the show in a good spot to potentially tour - nothing is set in stone just kinda falling forward with it!
Love the sweater
Great video. I needed it. Thank you ❤
I say "can you see it can you see it can you see it" to my 5 year old students all the time. They don't get the reference but I DO and that's all that matters
happy as hell to see grace say can you see it. other than that, grace can casually chat about some shit.
Hey Grace,
You mentioned being stressed about putting out a video every Friday; do you think maybe you could meet yourself somewhere in the middle where, instead of posting a video every week, you just did an hour or two of Livestream? That way you're spending less time thinking and worrying about content, but also, you're not letting yourself down and still getting content out?
Just a thought.
I love you and your content since the Grace & Michelle days.
Whatever you do I believe in you!
Sending you love Grace ❤
I was doing my self care last week
Hugs
Love thisss love free toys!
in the USA, self-care has been found to be highly profitable, so I guess walking around a mall is a fitting setting...
"Sometimes you just have to throw spaghetti at the wall" I just realized I haven't heard you say the phrase "throw spaghetti" in a long time iykyk
