I pray God will wrap you in His arms during these hard times. My dad also had covid and it was the hardest moment of my life but truly God has worked in these times for me and I will never forget that 💛 May He give you strength and peace because He loves us, turn to Him it is the best decision ever and I pray your mom gets through this battle
Please do this with "Dads who have lost their children and kids who have lost their Dads" I'll be on the show. This helped me feel not as alone in my grief and trauma
It's so hard not to! I'm an emotional person and feel my emotions very strongly. I get choked up and cry often...and usually apologize. I'm working on it though. :)
there's always that one person who's like "stop being such a snowflake" "stop being a crybaby" "lmao just stop crying what's so hard" and if they won't change, then I'll just change myself...
I’m 6’3, 240, covered in tattoos, gauged ears, piercings, the works. Not what you’d consider emotional at first glance. Two years ago, I got a phone call on my way to work that my grandma had passed away. I bawled my eyes out for 8 hours thru my shift, as since she wasn’t considered immediate family, I wasnt allowed to leave work. Still, two years later, I still get teary eyed thinking about her. She essentially acted as my dad growing up. The things left unsaid, the last things i said to her.. It was and still is the hardest loss I’ve ever had.
I know that my grandma lost a daughter but I lost my mom and to grow up without one is hard and just cause I was a child doesn’t make the pain any less worse
I agree! I lost my brother 2 years ago. He was so young and was taken suddenly. Everyday for me, my sister and mother are always struggles. You’re not alone 🧡
Lost my big brother. Toughest thing going through life events he should have been there for. Or even turning older than he made it. It's good to know other people went through that loss by the internet when no one in your life gets it.
Wow, thanks for highlighting this Buzzfeed. As a child and adolescent psychiatrist I recently made a video discussing why mothers are so important to the mental heath of their children.
I lost my mom very suddenly (car accident) when I was 8. I’m extremely lucky to have a stepmom that I love deeply and who stepped into my mother’s shoes perfectly. I like to think my mom sent my stepmom to take care of me and my dad. All said, when she said “I lost my child but you lost your childhood” cut very deep.
I completely understand. My mom passed from a car accident when I was 6. When I was 11 my dad met my amazing now ex-stepmom. She has helped me and my little sister so much, and still tries to take care of us. And even though she isn't married to my dad anymore she's still very active in my life, and my daughters' lives.
The thumbnail almost made me break out into tears. I couldn’t live or breathe without my Mom. I’m always terrified for the day that she won’t be here anymore
Same. My parents are everything to me. They're the people who inspire me to actually keep trying, even when my low self esteem attacks and I have depressive thoughts. "For them" I say, and continue fighting the life struggles :")
I felt this same way I temper having moments of breaking out into tears thinking about it . Now she is gone and it’s a living nightmare . Thankful my daughter keeps me going everyday . What does not kill you makes you stronger
People have ACTUALLY said that to you?!?! Wow, they mustn't have had a heart! I'm so sorry for your loss. I too lost my dad. I was 17. It's been 19 years and it still feels like yesterday. He was my step dad but the father who raised me (as my biological dad left when I was born and I didn't meet him until I was 31 years old...) and I can't imagine anybody saying that to me...
@@tiffanylovett7229 I was 17 as well! Yeah, actually a few family members said this to me straight in my face. But I can often see my peers and friends think "oh it's not that big of a deal then" because they never had a strong relationship with their fathers (or other father figures). It's sad.
i lost my dad when i was 14. our dads will never be " just a dad" he was my everything. i understand your pain and he was my best friend too. Miss him everyday :(
to all the people without their moms, you are so loved and i know that your moms care so much about you. sending lots of love to yall! you all deserve the world🤍
"If it takes you 1,000 years to heal, let it take you 1,000 years." Thank you. My mommy passed in 2017 and she was so young still. We still had so much to do together. I always feel like I need to feel okay because its been a while now. I'm still so angry all the time. I don't know how people can be so strong.
As a mother, who has a daughter... we are both still alive. But self harm is something I’ve struggled with my entire life. Videos like this open my eyes to how my actions could effect my daughter. Thank you. ❤️
Please take care of yourself for the sake of you and your daughter. I lost my mom and I am suffering ever since. The pain is sometimes unbearable so please take care of yourself
My brother was murdered when I was younger. It still hurts after 13 years. I keep his memory alive by sharing the story of his life and the people he impacted. This is the most beautiful video I’ve ever seen. Thank you
I wish my friend could be there 🥺 (you too.) he lost his father when we were 10. He didn’t come to school for months. When he did, he was very depressed. I felt really, really, really terrible and I wished I could do something. He is okay now but it’s a sensitive topic to talk about for him. His father was a good man. He would have loved to see him grow up. ❤️
At the age of 27, I have lost both of my parents. Thank you for this video, it helped me realize that I’m still coping with the grief and probably will be for a long time & that’s okay.
I cant imagine a life without my mom and my mom can't imagine a life without me. I don't know how they are doing without their child's and moms. May their soul rest in peace. Love you mom.
I am a mom who just lost my 7 year old this year because of a house gire and I just wanted to say thank you for this because it really has helped me to know im not alone
You never heal from loosing your mom, I certainly never have and it’s been 14 years. Now that I’m a mom myself, I could never imagine loosing a child. The bond between the two is the strongest on earth. Love to all ♥️
My grandma lost her son, Nigel in a car accident. The driver in the other car was fine but Nigel wasn’t he was rushed to hospital but sadly died on the way, and the worse thing is that he was on his way to visit my mum who was in labour with my sister. Never forget. Rest In Peace Nigel
this video made me emotional. i lost my son at 23 weeks. he passed away in march. his due date would’ve been this upcoming tuesday. sending my love to anyone who lost a loved one ❤️
I hope you’re healing and feeling better emotionally these days. I can imagine the emotions and grief that you have been going through. Sending positive energy, hugs and prayers your way ♥️
My mom is only 65, she's not gonna get any younger anymore. I honestly hate myself for sometimes pushing her aside of things, just so I don't get embarrassed, it's all because she loves me and she can't always be there forever... Remember ppl, no matter what type of person your mother is, she will always love you, and miss you deep down
I’m so sorry for your loss my heart goes out to you. I lost my mom almost two years ago and the pain is always going to be there but life will get better again and you deserve to be happy, our moms would want that for us
My best friend was emotionally adopted by my own mom since she never had a mother, her mother passed when he was a toddler and doesn’t remember her much. Throughout high school she got attached to my mom more and more so we both understood that it does take a village to raise a child. Now we are adults and she has her own little family but is still grateful to have the connection with my mom to this day. If I could share my mom with everyone who has a mother that’s passed I would she has all that love to give and she taught me also to give love to others also. I hope mothers and children who lost loved ones find peace and understanding as the time of healing continues.
This is really helpful for me listening to other people who have been through one of life hardest pains too. My mother was murdered a little over 2 in a half years ago. The hardest thing I think anyone could ever go through is losing a loved one. Almost three years later, pain is still there, but learned to manage the pain, it means EVERYTHING. Here I am still alive, and everyone who is here despite pains in the world, it will grow us stronger! ❤️
My mom is alive and well, but I haven’t seen her for more than 15 years since she lives far away from us. I know that it’s hard for the sons and daughters to lose their mothers as well as the mothers who lost their children, because I couldn’t imagine losing my own parents. My thoughts are with all of these lovely people and to the ones out there who still keep their head high and stayed strong for their loved ones that are still with them as well as honoring their dearly departed. May your hearts and minds be able to find lasting peace from the pains you’ve been feeling.
“Your grief doesn’t end in a week.” Wow, so true! I don’t think enough people understand this. It’s been a month since my grandma unexpectedly died and I’m still grieving. I’m still sad. Continual support and patience is needed.
Reminds me of how lucky I am, in the midst of this pandemic we need to know what our life values not just to us, but to everyone around us. I wanna thank everyone in this video for sharing their story, to be weak requires more strength.❤
TO THE PEOPLE THAT DISLIKED THIS VIDEO: I hope it was an accident. Bc, this video is so heart warming and so beautiful💯. I was gonna write something mean to tell you off about it, but I want to spread kindness. Bc maybe you were hurt today, or had something happen to you. I wish you well if so. But going around bringing others down just bc you had a bad day, or bad week doesnt help anyone. Honestly I'm saying this because this should be liked and shared by more people, to raise the algorithm. You never know, this video might make it into someone's feed while their scrolling through RUclips and bring a smile to their face. All because you took the time out of your day to be positive and like or share. Instead of being self conceited and "in ya bag", to the point where you have to dislike someone's video just because. Sorry for the paragraph(?), but I just don't get how some people dislike a video that is so wholesome. In the video there was NOTHING said or done to offend anyone. Just my opinion though, I know how some people are, they just don't get it.🤷🏽♂️😕
There are people who dislike channels and automatically downvote any video they see on it. It really doesn’t effect the algorithm much at all though, what counts is how many people watch the video, if they watch till the end, and if they click off within the first... I think it’s 5 seconds, maybe 10 seconds that’s what really hurts a video in the algorithm.
i understand where you're coming from but no one has the responsibility to make someone else smile or to like a video just because it'll make the algorithm more likely to recommend it to other people. people can dislike it because of the production, the content, whatever. i personally enjoyed the video.
@@sth5033 yeah I really only said that at the time bc the video was just posted, n not even five minutes in it got dislikes. Honestly I think I was just being a bit sensitive at the time.🤷🏽♂️
I clicked like at the start 'cause I knew I wouldn't be able to see 😭 I lost my little brother, and my girlfriend lost her Mom and this hit us like a freight train
They're disliking because this is emotionally manipulative tripe. How much has buzzfeed donated to charities benefiting people affected by these losses? Oh, they're pocketing all the cash from this video?
I’d love to see a version of this with people that lost a boyfriend and people that lost a gf. I lost a bf and I would totally be down to be a part of it.
Totally, I lost a bf 8 years ago. I’ll never forget the pain of it. It’s just like death since they’re out of your life to never see or speak to again.
i lost my mom a few years ago & i still miss her, if you're reading this & your mom is around please go and give her a hug & tell her that you love her because you don't know what you have til it's gone& if she's not then just know that you are loved
I'm so thankful to still have my mom, she had lung cancer about 10 years ago and as she lay in her hospital bed, they'd removed part of he lungs, I realized how I'd never lived in a world without her and how much I'd taken her for granted. The thought that I could lose her is too painful to fully imagine. I love her so much
I’m watching this while pregnant for the first time and I cannot imagine loosing a child. I’ve always felt comfort when being with others of grieving. Thank you for this video.
This video brought me into tears bc I did lost a friend from her sleep (cardiac arrest) and I always say this to myself “why did she leave too soon we were becoming so close”........ I still miss her :(
@@amyteza428 hey, i'm so so sorry for your loss :( i've never actually lost a human close to me and the fact that it will happen scares me so much. stay strong
My mother became mentally unstable when I was 9 and I kept living with her for three years after my parents divorced, before she threw me out and then completely left. I've suppressed a lot of the things I had to deal with at home with a person who was mentally ill, and some memories still hurt. This video hit home and it's heartwarming to see that people from both ends of a different yet similar situation can be so understanding and open towards each other. ♡ This video makes me feel a little less alone
You know what even more sad? When a married couple lost their partners are called: widow or widower When childrens lost their parents are called: orphans But do you know how we called parents who lost their childrens? There is no words. It's so cruel no such word exist. P.S.: inspired by the kdrama Black
yea u are right i mean..after all it really hurts way fcking more knowing that there isn't a word to describe parents losing their children...rather than them having lost their children...
We have too many expectations from those who are alive, that we forget how devastated we would be if they weren't even there to fulfill our expectations.
There was a case in 2013 where a woman survived and airplane crash, but was hit by a responding ambulance. That finished her off. Footage now shows a firefighter in the ambulance telling the driver to watch out, there is a girl up ahead. And behind the scenes, the battalion chief said "sh!t happens".
I have a few friends who've lost their parents at a very young age, one lost both of her parents. I just hope that they know they're not alone and wish I could always be there for them when they need a shoulder to cry on. This is a really heart-warming and somewhat comforting video, tysm for the poeple that participated I know it's hard talking about someone that meant your life. 💝
My mom has attempted. My brother has attempted. I have come close. We’re all still here. I believe we’ll make it. If you’re struggling or someone close to you is struggling, I believe in you and them. We have so much to live for. Even if it’s just the smell of rain or the taste of your favorite food or a nearby smile. There’s support for you too. In the most mundane of places, and here on the internet. I support you. You got this.
I am going to be truthful. There are some videos I don't agree with on your channel. But this one, is very touching and heartfelt, guaranteed to help anyone through these very emotional and difficult times.
I thank god every day that I still have my mom. I lost my dad almost 2 years ago and it still hurts. I miss him every day. This video was hard to watch but helped me in alot of way. To all those whole have lost a loved one I send you love
Thank you! Watching this helped me have a better day. We lost our son in March and everyday has been a struggle. Hearing the words of the other mothers who’ve lost their children and the words of the children who lost their mothers put me at peace. Thank you!
This Video is a perfect example of how Human Nature Is. Just Realised that live is so short live it to the fullest. Appreciate the people and things that are important to you wether good or bad. I take this moment to thank all the people and things who made me what I am today. May all the Mother and Children Have Peace.❤️❤️❤️
this video is hit me so hard. Yes, there's a lot of people that have a hard time after losing their beloved one. Sometimes it takes a few month, but sometimes takes a year or more. I hope every one could rise up in adversity of being losing of your beloved one.
I lost my son in 2011 to Brain Cancer. He was 9 years old. He fought hard for 9 months. Even though he was fighting for his life he smiled through it all. I know if not for my other kids I would be so lost. Hugs to all who have lost a loved one.
My bio mum passed away 15 years ago to breast cancer when I was only 7. I had no idea what grief is back then. Last year, when I finally understand what does it mean, my dear stepmom also passed away. It was so sudden and I had no time to process it. Too much and it felt like I can't talk to anyone about it until one day I found this video out of nowhere. Surprisingly, it turns out to be my comfort zone ever since. I'll always come back here every time I'm thinking about them. Thank you, Buzzfeed. I needed this.
Kelly sounds like an empath. Depression is really hard on us empaths,we tend to take on the emotions of those around us,and unless you can manage it can indeed end unfortunately. I'm deeply sorry for everyone's loss.
I loved this so much ❤️❤️❤️could you possibly make another video like this but with moms and dads who lost infants of pregnancy loss . To maybe see how that type of loss effects the man and the woman
I wished I could speak to a grieving mother who has lost a child now since my mom is now no longer with me. Stuff like this ensures that nobody is ever alone❤️
I lost my mom to cancer when I was four years old and I still think of all the things I missed out on and the love I’ll never get to experience. “I lost my child but you lost your childhood” that really got me.
I love that they are playing Rett Madison's music throughout this video. Especially shame is a river. That song makes me cry every time especially knowing that it was written about her mother after her passing.
I don’t see my mum for personal reasons but my dad is my rock. I don’t know what I’d do without him and seeing things like this make me realise how much I take for granted. I need these types of videos as they give me a wake up call. May these souls rest in peace and may their families find comfort in knowing their loved ones who have since passed managed to spread so much joy! Ps I Love you dad and I’ll be sure to tell you personally when I see u in the morning.
I am sobbing??? My mom is my entire life I wouldnt be able to live without her! This people r truly strong and Im happy that they managed to feel better after that.
On Monday is gonna be my great grand father’s 2 years from him passing he was a nice generous man and he learned English from me he was in world war 1 and he passed from cancer from all body parts. RIP papa Salvador you will be in my heart😢❤️😇 and my great grandmother got an infection in her body and sadly passed. RIP mama tere/Teresa you will be in my heart😢❤️😇
My mother is my best friend. I’d be totally lost without her. So selfless. I never understood how she managed to get through the things she did and always have a smile for me and my brothers even if she was destroyed inside. Cherish your mothers because no one will ever love you the same.
My mom lost her own mom to breast cancer when she was eleven years old. I can't even IMAGINE losing my mom. She is the glue that keeps my heart beating.
I don't comment a lot, but this touched my soul deeply. I lost my mom three years ago to stomach cancer. It is beyond comforting to hear that grieving is never linear. You don't get over a loved one's death, you learn to live with it. You honor them by living your life unapologetically. Tears are flowing from the eyes, and I am so glad. It reminds me that yes I miss my mom, but I'm human and this is my body showing me how much I loved her.
I lost my mom when I was 16 (I was going to be 17 in November of that year). She was diagnosed with terminal kidney failure when I was 3. She was nicknamed a miracle by her doctors for holding on for so long. She had countless surgeries, she had countless hemodialysis, and she had more life than I am now. When she passed away, one of my relatives (who was my mom's cousin and best friend) said that she hold on so she can see me grow and she was looking forward to seeing me graduate, maybe get married. Being the teenager I was. I never processed my grief. At the first 6 years after she passed. I feel relieved that she doesn't feel any pain anymore. but as I became more mature... it always hit me so hard.
My moms and I are going through a really rough patch in our relationship and watching this video has given me so much more perspective and a the opportunity to reach out and try to mend things
i lost my mom in 2016 and i’ll never get over it. i mean, i’m successful at work, i’m graduating from college, i have friends and i have a lot of fun. but i’ll never not miss her and i’ll always feel like i’m missing out on life, because without her there’s no point in all of this
My boyfriend recently lost his mother to an addiction. I felt so guilty for grieving her because she wasn’t my mother. He put up this wall all he wanted to do was distract himself and not grieve. And all I wanted to do was grieve so it was very hard for us both. When you stick two people in a home during quarantine that are both grieving in different way and different times it’s very hard. I will grieve that loss for the rest of my life she was basically my mother too and I’ve become comfortable grieving her. She had so much compassion for everyone and always was there if I needed her even while she was struggling with her own addiction. This video definitely brought tears but when they started talking about how to cope with a death it hit the spot gave me some what of an idea on how to deal. So thank you buzzfeed.
Watching this made something burst inside me. I sobbed for 10 minutes and realized how precious life is. how precious even MY life is... which is something I struggle to recognize far too often
“I lost my child, but you lost your childhood” that one is deep
I feel that as a teen who lost my father
Marissa our yjxxwwwxwtr
My mom would be very sad after i kill myself. But at least i won't be a dissapointment anymore

May Allah keep your mother with you and always safe
It truly sucks, lived that fear in 2019.

Be competitive. Not for me, or anyone else.

This is important because there's this stigma that losing a parent doesn't affect people as badly as losing a child.

A lot of people who have moms, congrats. My mom died while giving birth to me. I almost died. Now, I will never be the same not having a mom...
im sorry.. sending virtual hugs🤗 we got you
Sorry but sending hug ( no covid). It was heartbreaking
im sorry. sending virtual hugs.
Hugs baby, she is always with you!
A mother's love is infinite❤
Your mama sacrificed her life. So you could have life. I can guarantee she is your guardian angel ❤️ look to the stars when you need her most.
This is really powerful. If there is ever a video about kids losing their dad's then I wish I could be there. I know how hard that can be
I wish my friend could be there 🥺 (you too.) he lost his father when we were 10. He didn’t come to school for months. When he did, he was very depressed. I felt really, really, really terrible and I wished I could do something. He is okay now but it’s a sensitive topic to talk about for him. His father was a good man. He would have loved to see him grow up. ❤️
Same. I lost my Dad
At the age of 27, I have lost both of my parents. Thank you for this video, it helped me realize that I’m still coping with the grief and probably will be for a long time & that’s okay.
I cant imagine a life without my mom and my mom can't imagine a life without me. I don't know how they are doing without their child's and moms. May their soul rest in peace. Love you mom.
I LOVE MY MOM 💕
I am a mom who just lost my 7 year old this year because of a house gire and I just wanted to say thank you for this because it really has helped me to know im not alone
I'm so sorry for your loss. Stay strong! ❤️
I am so, so sorry for your loss! I’m glad this video helped you know you are not alone ❤️ Big virtual hug!
aww, stay strong girl!!🥰🥺
thanks everyone you are apart of healing that we all need
I have 7 and 8 year olds and cannot begin to fathom your pain. Enormous amounts of love your way.
I lost my mom to cancer in 2013. This is such a wonderful video that represents the pain of so so many. Thank you, buzzfeed.
Me too. I miss her so much
You never heal from loosing your mom, I certainly never have and it’s been 14 years. Now that I’m a mom myself, I could never imagine loosing a child. The bond between the two is the strongest on earth. Love to all ♥️
My grandma lost her son, Nigel in a car accident. The driver in the other car was fine but Nigel wasn’t he was rushed to hospital but sadly died on the way, and the worse thing is that he was on his way to visit my mum who was in labour with my sister. Never forget. Rest In Peace Nigel
This was such a tragically beautiful idea for a video, this kind of simultaneously heart-breaking and heart-warming content always gets me...
i lost my mom to cancer in 2010 so it's really good to hear others grieve and tell their stories
How could anyone dislike this video 🥺🥺 I could never ever imagine my life without my mom 💕
If someone dislikes maybe it's because they also lost someone they love and couldn't handle it, idk
Same. Just thinking of my mom not being here one day makes me sad 🥺😭
@@Natalia-009 it's always so heartbreaking to think about 😔 so let's cherish these moments guys :)))
@@erinlee6437 that's so true! 🥰
I just wrote a whole paragraph about people disliking this. I dont understand tbh. 😕
I just wanted to say that I love all of you! I hope you guys have a good day!
Sending love back to you :)
this video made me emotional. i lost my son at 23 weeks. he passed away in march. his due date would’ve been this upcoming tuesday. sending my love to anyone who lost a loved one ❤️
I hope you’re healing and feeling better emotionally these days. I can imagine the emotions and grief that you have been going through. Sending positive energy, hugs and prayers your way ♥️
Liz and Nina 💜 Their conversation felt so natural, like they met in another life!
So nervous to watch this just from the title...im so sorry and hurt for them 😔, i couldnt do without my mother.
My mom is only 65, she's not gonna get any younger anymore. I honestly hate myself for sometimes pushing her aside of things, just so I don't get embarrassed, it's all because she loves me and she can't always be there forever... Remember ppl, no matter what type of person your mother is, she will always love you, and miss you deep down
My mom died back in august so this is sorta hard to watch
I am so, so sorry for your loss!
I feel you. My mom died in March. I had to take breaks.
sending you love. how are you feeling during quarantine? has it been hard?
I hope you are feeling okay. Know you are loved by many ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss my heart goes out to you. I lost my mom almost two years ago and the pain is always going to be there but life will get better again and you deserve to be happy, our moms would want that for us
My best friend was emotionally adopted by my own mom since she never had a mother, her mother passed when he was a toddler and doesn’t remember her much. Throughout high school she got attached to my mom more and more so we both understood that it does take a village to raise a child. Now we are adults and she has her own little family but is still grateful to have the connection with my mom to this day. If I could share my mom with everyone who has a mother that’s passed I would she has all that love to give and she taught me also to give love to others also. I hope mothers and children who lost loved ones find peace and understanding as the time of healing continues.
This is really helpful for me listening to other people who have been through one of life hardest pains too. My mother was murdered a little over 2 in a half years ago. The hardest thing I think anyone could ever go through is losing a loved one. Almost three years later, pain is still there, but learned to manage the pain, it means EVERYTHING. Here I am still alive, and everyone who is here despite pains in the world, it will grow us stronger! ❤️
Stay strong🥺🥺
@@outresru7751 I will! thank you
My mom is alive and well, but I haven’t seen her for more than 15 years since she lives far away from us. I know that it’s hard for the sons and daughters to lose their mothers as well as the mothers who lost their children, because I couldn’t imagine losing my own parents. My thoughts are with all of these lovely people and to the ones out there who still keep their head high and stayed strong for their loved ones that are still with them as well as honoring their dearly departed. May your hearts and minds be able to find lasting peace from the pains you’ve been feeling.
visit your mother! you don't know how long they will live
“Your grief doesn’t end in a week.” Wow, so true! I don’t think enough people understand this. It’s been a month since my grandma unexpectedly died and I’m still grieving. I’m still sad. Continual support and patience is needed.
Reminds me of how lucky I am, in the midst of this pandemic we need to know what our life values not just to us, but to everyone around us. I wanna thank everyone in this video for sharing their story, to be weak requires more strength.❤
True😔
Grieving is very difficult time. It been 7 years my mom passed but still it feels fresh. This dark space is very dificult to get out of it.
Same here, in my case almost 4 years but I remember literally every minute of that worst day of my life.
I am so sorry for both of your losses! Sending you love ❤️
TO THE PEOPLE THAT DISLIKED THIS VIDEO:
I hope it was an accident. Bc, this video is so heart warming and so beautiful💯. I was gonna write something mean to tell you off about it, but I want to spread kindness. Bc maybe you were hurt today, or had something happen to you. I wish you well if so. But going around bringing others down just bc you had a bad day, or bad week doesnt help anyone. Honestly I'm saying this because this should be liked and shared by more people, to raise the algorithm. You never know, this video might make it into someone's feed while their scrolling through RUclips and bring a smile to their face. All because you took the time out of your day to be positive and like or share. Instead of being self conceited and "in ya bag", to the point where you have to dislike someone's video just because. Sorry for the paragraph(?), but I just don't get how some people dislike a video that is so wholesome. In the video there was NOTHING said or done to offend anyone. Just my opinion though, I know how some people are, they just don't get it.🤷🏽♂️😕
There are people who dislike channels and automatically downvote any video they see on it. It really doesn’t effect the algorithm much at all though, what counts is how many people watch the video, if they watch till the end, and if they click off within the first... I think it’s 5 seconds, maybe 10 seconds that’s what really hurts a video in the algorithm.
@@tiedyedowl8367 yeah true, I know there are some people that just don't care for some channels, I was actually gonna say sum abt that.
i understand where you're coming from but no one has the responsibility to make someone else smile or to like a video just because it'll make the algorithm more likely to recommend it to other people. people can dislike it because of the production, the content, whatever. i personally enjoyed the video.
@@sth5033 yeah I really only said that at the time bc the video was just posted, n not even five minutes in it got dislikes. Honestly I think I was just being a bit sensitive at the time.🤷🏽♂️
The dislikes are from all the people because they are crying so hard they clicked the wrong button
I clicked like at the start 'cause I knew I wouldn't be able to see 😭
I lost my little brother, and my girlfriend lost her Mom and this hit us like a freight train
nah we’re disliking bc they paired them up by race
@@jacobwhite208 Um... no?
pretty sure it's because buzzfeed is exploiting these people for views
They're disliking because this is emotionally manipulative tripe. How much has buzzfeed donated to charities benefiting people affected by these losses? Oh, they're pocketing all the cash from this video?
I just want to give them all a massive hug for being so brave, love you guys!
I’d love to see a version of this with people that lost a boyfriend and people that lost a gf. I lost a bf and I would totally be down to be a part of it.
I am so sorry for your loss! I work for Buzzfeed and think that’s another incredibly important topic, thank you for bringing it up 🙏
Yes I would love to see this
Totally, I lost a bf 8 years ago. I’ll never forget the pain of it. It’s just like death since they’re out of your life to never see or speak to again.
Hallie Steiner what about people who have lost their best friends my bfs friend was shot by a cop I think it’d be a interesting topic. Very sad
This video was so heartwarming! Although I sometimes have a difficult relationship with my mom, I could never live without her
i lost my mom a few years ago & i still miss her, if you're reading this & your mom is around please go and give her a hug & tell her that you love her because you don't know what you have til it's gone& if she's not then just know that you are loved
I'm so thankful to still have my mom, she had lung cancer about 10 years ago and as she lay in her hospital bed, they'd removed part of he lungs, I realized how I'd never lived in a world without her and how much I'd taken her for granted. The thought that I could lose her is too painful to fully imagine. I love her so much
I’m watching this while pregnant for the first time and I cannot imagine loosing a child. I’ve always felt comfort when being with others of grieving. Thank you for this video.
This video brought me into tears bc I did lost a friend from her sleep (cardiac arrest) and I always say this to myself “why did she leave too soon we were becoming so close”........ I still miss her :(
I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you love!
Hallie Steiner thank you. It means a lot
@@amyteza428 hey, i'm so so sorry for your loss :( i've never actually lost a human close to me and the fact that it will happen scares me so much. stay strong
My mother became mentally unstable when I was 9 and I kept living with her for three years after my parents divorced, before she threw me out and then completely left. I've suppressed a lot of the things I had to deal with at home with a person who was mentally ill, and some memories still hurt. This video hit home and it's heartwarming to see that people from both ends of a different yet similar situation can be so understanding and open towards each other. ♡
This video makes me feel a little less alone
You know what even more sad?
When a married couple lost their partners are called: widow or widower
When childrens lost their parents are called: orphans
But do you know how we called parents who lost their childrens?
There is no words. It's so cruel no such word exist.
P.S.: inspired by the kdrama Black
yea u are right i mean..after all it really hurts way fcking more knowing that there isn't a word to describe parents losing their children...rather than them having lost their children...
Vilomah is the word. " Against the natural order of things."
~No words can describe that pain~
i love that kdrama
There’s no word for when you’ve only lost one parent..
Shoutout to my dad who passed away when I was 2. Hope to see you again in the future♥️
We have too many expectations from those who are alive, that we forget how devastated we would be if they weren't even there to fulfill our expectations.
This is beautiful, it takes a village to grieve and heal
I lost my mom this year, february 2020, and i know exactly what and how they feel :( love u mom
I am so sorry for your loss ❤️
@@halliesteiner632 thx you 😊
❤ this made me cry. Since I've lost my mum at a young age.
The ambulance hit him? Did I hear that correctly?
I know i was in shock too.
There was a case in 2013 where a woman survived and airplane crash, but was hit by a responding ambulance. That finished her off.
Footage now shows a firefighter in the ambulance telling the driver to watch out, there is a girl up ahead.
And behind the scenes, the battalion chief said "sh!t happens".
@@recoil53 No way!! That's awful!!
recoil53 did they get punished
@@thehorsesnamewasfriday8695 Not that I'm aware of.
I'm a minute in on this video and I'm tearing up already 😭😭😭😭
I have a few friends who've lost their parents at a very young age, one lost both of her parents. I just hope that they know they're not alone and wish I could always be there for them when they need a shoulder to cry on. This is a really heart-warming and somewhat comforting video, tysm for the poeple that participated I know it's hard talking about someone that meant your life. 💝
You're all amazing for participating in this. Thank you❤
My mom has attempted. My brother has attempted. I have come close. We’re all still here. I believe we’ll make it. If you’re struggling or someone close to you is struggling, I believe in you and them. We have so much to live for. Even if it’s just the smell of rain or the taste of your favorite food or a nearby smile. There’s support for you too. In the most mundane of places, and here on the internet. I support you. You got this.
Thank you for sharing and for being so strong! So much love to you and your family ❤️
I hope this offers comfort to those who have lost someone
You are never truly a part from someone, when you are A PART of someone xx
I am going to be truthful. There are some videos I don't agree with on your channel. But this one, is very touching and heartfelt, guaranteed to help anyone through these very emotional and difficult times.
I thank god every day that I still have my mom. I lost my dad almost 2 years ago and it still hurts. I miss him every day. This video was hard to watch but helped me in alot of way. To all those whole have lost a loved one I send you love
❤️
Some days I miss my mom so much, its just a big wave of sadness that hits you for no reason . I just want my mom.
❤️❤️❤️ sending you love!
Thank you! Watching this helped me have a better day. We lost our son in March and everyday has been a struggle. Hearing the words of the other mothers who’ve lost their children and the words of the children who lost their mothers put me at peace. Thank you!
This Video is a perfect example of how Human Nature Is. Just Realised that live is so short live it to the fullest. Appreciate the people and things that are important to you wether good or bad. I take this moment to thank all the people and things who made me what I am today.
May all the Mother and Children Have Peace.❤️❤️❤️
Bruh y'all make me emotional.
this video is hit me so hard. Yes, there's a lot of people that have a hard time after losing their beloved one. Sometimes it takes a few month, but sometimes takes a year or more. I hope every one could rise up in adversity of being losing of your beloved one.
I had an emotional breakdown in front of my mom. It made me realize how lucky I am to still have her around. Thank You, Buzzfeed for this
My Mom died back in 2014 so it really helps to listen to all of the stories.
Thank you so much for this video!
I lost my son in 2011 to Brain Cancer. He was 9 years old. He fought hard for 9 months. Even though he was fighting for his life he smiled through it all. I know if not for my other kids I would be so lost. Hugs to all who have lost a loved one.
I am so, so sorry for your loss ❤️ Virtual hugs to you and your family!
My bio mum passed away 15 years ago to breast cancer when I was only 7. I had no idea what grief is back then. Last year, when I finally understand what does it mean, my dear stepmom also passed away. It was so sudden and I had no time to process it. Too much and it felt like I can't talk to anyone about it until one day I found this video out of nowhere. Surprisingly, it turns out to be my comfort zone ever since. I'll always come back here every time I'm thinking about them. Thank you, Buzzfeed. I needed this.
Kelly sounds like an empath. Depression is really hard on us empaths,we tend to take on the emotions of those around us,and unless you can manage it can indeed end unfortunately. I'm deeply sorry for everyone's loss.
So beautiful and transparent. I know it wasn’t easy to talk about that, it’s greatly appreciated. My sincerest condolences
I loved this so much ❤️❤️❤️could you possibly make another video like this but with moms and dads who lost infants of pregnancy loss . To maybe see how that type of loss effects the man and the woman
God bless all of them
I wished I could speak to a grieving mother who has lost a child now since my mom is now no longer with me. Stuff like this ensures that nobody is ever alone❤️
I may not have lost a mom but to anyone who did, I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope you have a wonderful life. I wish the best to all of you ❤️.
I lost my mom to cancer when I was four years old and I still think of all the things I missed out on and the love I’ll never get to experience. “I lost my child but you lost your childhood” that really got me.
I love that they are playing Rett Madison's music throughout this video. Especially shame is a river. That song makes me cry every time especially knowing that it was written about her mother after her passing.
I don’t see my mum for personal reasons but my dad is my rock. I don’t know what I’d do without him and seeing things like this make me realise how much I take for granted. I need these types of videos as they give me a wake up call. May these souls rest in peace and may their families find comfort in knowing their loved ones who have since passed managed to spread so much joy! Ps I Love you dad and I’ll be sure to tell you personally when I see u in the morning.
I am sobbing??? My mom is my entire life I wouldnt be able to live without her! This people r truly strong and Im happy that they managed to feel better after that.
On Monday is gonna be my great grand father’s 2 years from him passing he was a nice generous man and he learned English from me he was in world war 1 and he passed from cancer from all body parts. RIP papa Salvador you will be in my heart😢❤️😇 and my great grandmother got an infection in her body and sadly passed. RIP mama tere/Teresa you will be in my heart😢❤️😇
Should you post ur salvador?her e?
Yakub lmaoo ?
I could never imagine losing my mom. She is my best friend and even thinking about losing her makes me cry so much.
My mother is my best friend. I’d be totally lost without her. So selfless. I never understood how she managed to get through the things she did and always have a smile for me and my brothers even if she was destroyed inside. Cherish your mothers because no one will ever love you the same.
My mom lost her own mom to breast cancer when she was eleven years old. I can't even IMAGINE losing my mom. She is the glue that keeps my heart beating.
This is both sad and heartwarming
I don't comment a lot, but this touched my soul deeply. I lost my mom three years ago to stomach cancer. It is beyond comforting to hear that grieving is never linear. You don't get over a loved one's death, you learn to live with it. You honor them by living your life unapologetically. Tears are flowing from the eyes, and I am so glad. It reminds me that yes I miss my mom, but I'm human and this is my body showing me how much I loved her.
I lost my mom when I was 16 (I was going to be 17 in November of that year). She was diagnosed with terminal kidney failure when I was 3. She was nicknamed a miracle by her doctors for holding on for so long. She had countless surgeries, she had countless hemodialysis, and she had more life than I am now. When she passed away, one of my relatives (who was my mom's cousin and best friend) said that she hold on so she can see me grow and she was looking forward to seeing me graduate, maybe get married.
Being the teenager I was. I never processed my grief. At the first 6 years after she passed. I feel relieved that she doesn't feel any pain anymore. but as I became more mature... it always hit me so hard.
This is so sad, yet heartfelt at the same time...
My moms and I are going through a really rough patch in our relationship and watching this video has given me so much more perspective and a the opportunity to reach out and try to mend things
i lost my mom in 2016 and i’ll never get over it. i mean, i’m successful at work, i’m graduating from college, i have friends and i have a lot of fun. but i’ll never not miss her and i’ll always feel like i’m missing out on life, because without her there’s no point in all of this
I just want to give all these people a hug
My boyfriend recently lost his mother to an addiction. I felt so guilty for grieving her because she wasn’t my mother. He put up this wall all he wanted to do was distract himself and not grieve. And all I wanted to do was grieve so it was very hard for us both. When you stick two people in a home during quarantine that are both grieving in different way and different times it’s very hard. I will grieve that loss for the rest of my life she was basically my mother too and I’ve become comfortable grieving her. She had so much compassion for everyone and always was there if I needed her even while she was struggling with her own addiction. This video definitely brought tears but when they started talking about how to cope with a death it hit the spot gave me some what of an idea on how to deal. So thank you buzzfeed.
I lost my mother 7 years ago and watching this video was so helpful for me.
❤️
Watching this made something burst inside me. I sobbed for 10 minutes and realized how precious life is. how precious even MY life is... which is something I struggle to recognize far too often
