It’s wonderful that you have each other through this. Having experienced loss alone. With a spouse that doesn’t get it. I see the difference. Having someone to anchor yourself too in the darkness will really make your onward journey the best it could be: no matter how rough the seas. Thinking of you both... long may you gain strength from each other. Xx
Rewatching this video I'm reminded of how special little Lynx was and how much you and Ali loved him. Its a horrible loss and I hope that Princess Lumi and Prince's Porter and Berkeley bring you both joy and comfort ❤
I think this is one of the best video, specially words on the beginning, so sincere, so honest so you without any fashion/make up and although it is SOOO sad, horrible situation for you both, you are now even stronger as a couple and I appreciate that you find a strength to film, to speak about, to almost show us your "naked" soul.. If you can continue to believe, to have a feeling, to "visual" that Lynx is coming home (he will any moment just pop up from somewhere) somehow "to call" that situation to happen....
i lost my husband, the love of my life to cardiac arrest. he was 30, i was a widow at the age of 28....so i know how difficult it is to just get up and suck it up....as ppl would say, you need to move on with hour life...but...there is always a light at the end of the tunnel though it may seems impossible now...life is amazing. there is so much pain this world, but it also gives us relief, nothing in the world lasts.
my cat died last october. I cried over her for weeks. I still do when I remember sth. it hurts soooooooooo much and will always do. life goes on with that pain. only people who have pets would understand.
Awwww Lyds. I can see how close you and A are, but this has certainly bought you two closer together. It reminds me of my relationship w my husband. He's my rock when shit gets tough. So incredible to have someone like that. I hope you are starting to find a bit of joy again in life. Give Ali a big hug. What a wonderful human he is Xx
Your transparency is admired on so many levels. Thank you for sharing everything with us, even though you don't have to. Sending all my love to you both!
The love you have for Ali is so beautiful. Loss is never easy but the fact that you both feel the comfort and support from each other helps to give you strength. Praying for you
Sent an earlier reply about how excited it was when your blog popped up. Then I watched the video and saw your pain. It broke my heart and everyone else's I'm sure. But I really like how you guys are handling your grief. Especially the part where you say that you have to keep doing things that bring you joy even when they may not during this tough time. As a person that occassionally struggles with clinical depression, I have always avoided things that made me happy and joyful (for example listening to music on my playlists) during those times. I'm afraid that doing these things while I'm in a dark place will "taint" them. You have made me see this in a whole different light. People NEED to keep moving forward. You are right. Thank you for talking about this. 😊🥰 And I would give anything to help you look for little Lynx but I'm in another country. I'm still praying tho and not giving up. Love you guys
Hi Lydia, I really hope that everything goes well in regards to finding Lynx. My cat was ran over the other night and he was only a teeny kitten. It hit me way harder than I ever could have expected and it feels so lonely without him now. I completely understand how you are both feeling right now however you still have hope of finding lynx and you still have your gorgeous Lumi ! Good luck with finding lynx, I hope you get your family back to normal soon xx ❤️
You’re doing so well Lydia, no need to apologize! Our little 16week old puppy got really sick last year and after a few days of not knowing how it would end we unfortunately couldn’t save her. I wasn’t able to get through half an hour without sobbing. Even typing this now, so long after, has me in tears so I’m the first one to underscribe how incredibly precious an animal can become to you and how heartbreaking it is if they’re suddenly not around anymore. Sending you lots of love and keeping my fingers crossed that you find your baby Lynx back ♥️♥️♥️
Kim H I know exactly how you feel. My 5 years old doggy got a cancer and we lost her in two weeks . It happened 2 years ago My writing this now is painful . It got bettet with time but god its so painful to loose... Take care xx
Masha Vliegen oh that’s awful, ’m sorry for you Masha.. I think it will always be a dark yet cherished spot in your heart, regardless of how long ago it was. We’ll never forget our little angels 🙂
I can feel the pain...and I must say it's so refreshing that Lydia is so transparent and vulnerable. I have two cats and feel a guy punch at the thought of losing one of them...and for that to actually happen, let alone the memories of their sweet face..and the emptiness of their absence... No words. Just praying 🙏 for him to return
The sudden loss of a loved one (human, animal, etc) is always so hard and painful. My family has been rocked by my dad’s stroke last month and the surprise of it and the pain of it follows, especially in trying to adjust to life now versus what life before was. Sending the best wishes to you guys and hope that good memories will always stay with you.
My dad passed away two months ago, I feel you girl ! the pain is excruciating...My thoughts go with Lydia and Ali too because I lost pets before, pain is pain. 😢
Lydia. . . . . . I'm praying for Lynx safe return. I haven't seen your other cat for a while do you still have Lumy? I may have misspelled that. You looked beautiful on your trip. XoXo. . . . . 💗
I'm so sorry that you're going through the loss of Lynx, but I also love that you're sharing it and being so honest about it and the grief it's causing you. I have four dogs, and they are my family. We had one sadly pass away a few years ago really suddenly, and I had a day off work because I was heartbroken and could barely stop crying. My manager had a go at me because it was "just a dog". I wish you weren't going through this but it's comforting to see other people loving their pets so much too. Praying for a swift and safe return for your boy xx
Lydia, grief is so difficult, so very difficult. I just suffered a great loss, I won't go into it because I'm trying to encourage you. One of the best pieces of advice I got was so simple but so effective, it was, "Take gentle care of yourself my friend, gentle care." I've taken that into each day and whatever comes up, I say it to myself "take gentle care". It helps.
Please don’t let people bully you into having to be sadder than you already are or to show it in their way. Everyone grieves differently and we are here to enjoy life and be as happy as we can be because we aren’t promised tomorrow. You guys enjoy your time. Every. Single. Moment. ❤️
good animal LOVERS , treat the animals as human as possible... so the loss is totally understandable. He was a BIG part of our lives too 😻 try to enjoy 😊 xo
Lydia you are doing so well of course you are finding it so difficult, you are doing so well you are grieving and the pain is indescribable only people with pets that they love so much will understand your pain .you try and have a lovely holiday xx
I can see the sadness in you guys even though you’re on your little honeymoon. Ali is right, the only thing you can do is to throw yourself into everyday life things. That doesn’t mean you’re moving on, you are living every day as it comes. I hope Lynx comes back to you guys soon. Thank you for sharing this holiday with us ❤️
I think once you lose someone close to you in your life, people that have experienced that same feeling can relate. You’re doing so well Lydia .. I feel for you both ❤️❤️
You are a babe! Vlogging whilst your both going through what your going through is tough in itself, you are doing so so well. Ali you are so right! Be strong as life will get better. Sending you both love 😘 xxx
Hi Lydia and Ali , I have two fur babies too and understand totally how you feel about them. I have lost my others before and the way you feel is truly sad. Don't feel guilty about living your life still, or just because others think they're "just cats" doesn't invalidate how you see them, as your actual babies. I will continue to send positive thoughts and believe he will come home. But enjoy your lovely honeymoon. Love and hugs to you both 🐾💚🙆
Dear sweet Lydia, enjoyed your vlog as always but I could see and feel the sadness in your eyes and my heart ached for you❤️ You and Ali are so beautiful inside and out and I wish you both the best❤️❤️❤️
I’m tearing up for you guys! Animals has touched us so much. I have 5 furry babies and loosing one is like loosing a child. I know exactly how you guys feel. You both are so good and good to each other. The both of you give each other strength. Sometimes in life you go through this hardest times to develop us. Hang in there. Love from US
You two are such a lovely couple. Beautiful inside and out. Sending prayers of hope, courage and resilience. Good to see you steal some time for yourselves. 🙏🏼♥️
Glad you are able to do a mini/honeymoon finally. I know it isn't easy given the timing of things, but life does go on. I am glad you took us along, but I also hope you and Ali had enough time to grieve. Hope is not lost, so keep your heads up. I am also glad to see hanging out with Leonie and friends allowed you to be happy for a bit.
How wonderful that you have such love for your baby. Don’t ever feel the need to explain to anyone YOUR grief and sadness. It’s yours and yours alone. No one should ever tell you how you should feel. Much love ❤️
Clarins Eau Dynamisante Treatment Fragrance stops mozzie bites. I take it on holiday and never get bitten. Have to spray everywhere though. Luckily it is quite a light, fresh scent.
I love the realness and honesty you guys share from your lives and sharing all the beauty at the same time. I miss my cats too and might be another year before I get another pet.
Only seen 8 minutes but I have to say that I´m so happy that you and Ali have each other ❤️ I cannot imagine what you both are going through and my heart is breaking for you guys. Really love when you let Ali come in to your vlogs. It really showed how much support he is to you. It´s really strong of you both to work but if you want to take a break Lydia you can. We are not going anywhere ❤️
I remember when my aunt and uncle lost their daughter, my cousin, in a senseless war in Zimbabwe in the 70's. So many people who lose a child, end up not being able to talk about it and grieve properly. I'm not trying to say it's the same as losing a child, or maybe it is exactly like that for you guys, but it's good that you are keeping on talking about him and talking to each other without closing up. It's so, so important. sending you both so much love xoxo
Lydia this vlog was perfect, honestly you were still your beautiful self. This is life and sharing it with us in your whole self however you feel is beautiful, as we all go through different things and if you didn't share you wouldn't be human. Sending lots of ❤️
I really hope that your little boy will come back soon. I really do feel for you. I have 2 furry boys myself and I cannot imagine myself when one of them is gone missing. Love and hugs to you Lydia, Ali and Lumi. xx
The people that have gone through what you're going through completely understand. Hoping and praying for an eventual reunion or some closure. 💓Take care.
Don't give up on your little one yet, it's very possible that he will be back. Cats can disappear, it's not at all uncommon, and still come back after quite some time. My aunts cats did this and came back in good shape clearly well fed. We always imagined they went to some old lady who fed them well and then returned when they'd had enough of their little holiday.
Hello Lydia. I find your channel very relaxing and i love watching your long vlogs. i usually dont comment but i really couldn't resist myself so here it goes. its a common misconception that quinine found in tonic water protects you from mosquito bites. This misconception started during the British colonialism years. During these years British people who lived in Africa drank gin and tonic, and quinine which is a substance in tonic water protects humans from malaria which is transmitted by mosquitoes. Quinine works by interfering with the parasite's ability to digest human haemoglobin and formation of toxic products to this parasites that cause malaria. But quinine alone does not protect people from mosquito bites but from malaria transmitted from a mosquito bite. I hope all this makes sense. by the way i am a medical student and a huge fan of your channel lots of love Ana
Kudos to Ali for explaining with such emotional maturity what its like to grieve for an animal.♥️ Lighthearted observation: Anglophones (especially British) are not good with emotions. We either deny their existence, or acknowledge them after-the-fact .eg. “I was a bit sad, but I’m ok now!” Whereas here in France emotions are recognized in the moment (sometimes dramatically ...when we throw ourselves to the floor, overcome by whatever we are feeeling...happiness/despair/ love/ anger/ elation etc) The 2 extremes really😏. But there are the pros and cons of both! Sending you happy thoughts!
The two of you have to remain strong and keep the faith that lynx will return, I have six children and four are the sweetest doggies and hubby and I can’t even imagine what you and Ali are going through, enjoy each other in paradise.❤️❤️❤️
Oh Lydia, my heart just goes out to you and Ali. I felt very much like the other poster who said she had a strong urge to pause your vlog to respond. There is so much love and support for you and Ali here and I hope you know there's no judgement on your path forward. Loss is such a personal thing and it manifests itself so differently in each of us and that's OK! While I love seeing you in fun videos and what you're up to, please take whatever time you need to move through this. We will still be here for you both when you return. Sending my thoughts and good vibes to you and Ali and hoping for his return. ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost a Pussycat years ago. The only thing that gave me some kind of peace? My friend said “so, after an unexpected adventure, he is now sitting on an old lady’s lap, bringing her joy and love for the first time in years”
I can totally relate. We lost our first baby boy (2 yr. old doggie) approx. 12 yrs. ago at an accident, and it still hurts (it was devastating at first) but it's gotten better overtime. He is in my heart and memories. After Rusty, it took us 2 1/2 yrs. to get another baby boy (4 mons. old doggie) and now soon to be 10 yrs. old and I appreciate him everyday he's with us. I hope that Lynx will return and your heart is full again. The good thing that Lumi is with you and is happy and healthy.
I’ve noticed that while your accessories are very pretty, since you have such great features (eyes) you pretty much don’t need the help of jewelry! Curious how you look without any jewelry on and how you would style if so☺️
I think this is an excellent vlog, showing two beautiful human beings going through a moment of pain and sharing it with us. Try to enjoy your lovely little honeymoon and never lose hope. 😘💪🏻
Honestly, I’m sure you and Ali hear this all the time, but the two of you are sooo beautiful both as individuals and as a couple, inside and out. As I continue to watch your videos (I’ve been a subscriber for years), I continue to like you more and more❤️
Grieving takes days, months, even years. It robs away the joy and hope in life. I have to force myself to work. Totally understand what you r going thru. As a content creator, you cant stop making videos altogether and you still have to put on a smile. This is hard. This video was taken days after Lynx was missing. Its not that Lydia keeps talking about how she is dealing with the lost. When it happened, she totally stop posting on instagram. And everyone including me was checking her instastories updates to see if she is ok. I would rather want a youtuber that is true to her feelings than someone who pretends everything is good. When we cant sympathize, try to empathize instead.
Take all the time you need, and you know what? I love your honesty and how you are both allowing yourselves to FEEL this. You have to feel it to heal it, and God knows it must have hurt so bad to have lost Lynx, he was a beauty. When my big fat chocolate tabby disappeared, I liked to tell myself that he was sat on some old lady's lap being fed smoked salmon!!! I hope he comes back to you. Keep on keeping on, you are BOTH doing so well. And even though your hearts hurt right now, you'll always HOLD him in your hearts with love.
Lydia, next time try a lemon perfume like L'Occitane verbena, as mozzies don't like lemon or lavender. You can also buy lemon cologne in supermarkets in Spain. Still thinking of Lynx, stay positive. Loved the vlog, looked amazing! x 😄
I feel , see, and understand what you are going through. Our pets are our babies, and the bigger the love, the stronger the pain. Don’t excuse your pain and sorrow, we understand, and if some people don’t, they should just stop watching your vlogs. 😘
Fenistil is the best cream for after bites of mosquitos. And i feel you... I have allergy on Msq bites and if i am out with people they will only bite me...and the funniest part is that i am anemic (it means that i really don't have healty blood). Sorry for my english😅😂
Hello to you both. Much love to you throughout this time. I lost my little boy Shih Tzu, Merlin as he passed late last year, and honestly I was so grief stricken over losing him, and I am still missing him each day. It would be such an ordeal to have him missing though, as you don't know where, or how he is. Lots of love to you, and take one day at a time. Try to find some joy in each day. Love from Australia xxx
Lynx’s paw prints will always be in your heart and he had two wonderful parents! I know you will never replace Lynx and of course you would never want to but you do have a lot of love and caring to give to another little pet that would also need loving parents. Just a thought!
I feel like watching this we slowly got to see you become happier and heal yourself day by day, I think I speak for us all that we are so happy you did this- congrats on your ibizamoon and sending all the love and prayers💜💜💜💜💜
Hi Lydia, I am keeping you and Ali in my prayers for the safe return of Lynx. Sending positive vibes your way from Hilton Head, South Carolina. As I mentioned before, I had a similar experience last week and my kitty returned after 24 hours. I've heard of cats returning after lengthy times away, and hope that you'll be surprised soon with Lynx at your back door. Sending prayers, love and hugs to you both.
Learning to smile through the pain is something we all experience in life sadly. Just happy to share a little of your day - it doesn't always have to be 'perfect', authentic is always preferable I've found. Wishing you both well :)
Continue gathering your strength from each other. Some people might not understand, and say it’s just a cat. Those people do not understand that those are our fur babies. I had a puppy he was my little love! I understand. Love you both ❤️
I hope the flyer drop works, my brother in law lost his bird and a month later did a drop. Turned out some old dear had found the bird the next day and given it to her son, wasn't on social media. So it can help. Also, silver lining is you and Ali will realise how good you are together. When i lost my dad my husband was there for me and it made me look at our relationship in a different way. Four years later when he says something about my dad or a funny memory about him it makes me love him all the more. You can still share your love for lynx and memories of him together and he will always be there then.
I can’t believe that somebody would send such emails... it’s just mean. I still hope that Lynx will come back to you! But whatever it is, I am sure he is in good hands! Be strong and don’t lose hope!🙏🏻
Everything you're feeling is normal, and you should never feel like you have to vlog or worry about if it's a "good" vlog or not. All of your vlogs and videos are good (better than good!) because you're real and authentic. For you to be open and vulnerable enough to share your life as you and Ali go through this difficult time is a gift to your viewers. As someone who's going through a grieving process for a different reason right now, I know what it takes to pick up the camera and vlog when your heart isn't fully in it, but how helpful to the grieving process it can be to share it with your audience and let them inside and offer comfort. Don't worry about good vlogs versus bad vlogs. Vlog if you feel like it, don't if you don't, and remember that your core audience will love you through all the ups and downs and grief and pain you'll feel as you and Ali continue to search for Lynx and process everything you're dealing with. Love and sunshine from Arizona. :) xx
I can't imagine losing our Happyface. He's been with us since my daughter was four and she's 11 now. She calls him her cat brother because he's always been there for her. Hope all things work out for you guys.
Couldnt stop the tears. Lynz was likw a little son to you both. Its nit a worse Blog. Its ok for you to express your sadneds. Its very healthy. It may not be the same. But we grieve for you. Each day honestly I keep wondering is Lynx back. Almost everyone who has pets. If something happens it grieves their soul. So i do understand your pain. I pray God give you and Ali faith and strength. I pray deeply for Lynx to return. I cant imagine what could happen to him. Where did he go. So sad. Im glad youre both taking some time out to enjoy each other company. Relax. Enjoy. Blessings to you both.
Glad you had a lovely rest ! When Ali said little boy , I almost lost it !! I love that you see your pets as someone . I do as well . To me pets are like furry children 💕💕💕
Oh god well said both of you the pain of losing a pet is gut wrenching especially this way not knowing I really feel for you both so sweeties enjoy yourselves the best way you can lots of love to you both . It looks so gorgeous there
It hurts to see you and Ali sad but sending all the good vibes and wishing you good luck. Love your vlogs as all ways. You are a big inspiration to me as a 21 year old girl. Hope to see you one day.
It’s wonderful that you have each other through this.
Having experienced loss alone. With a spouse that doesn’t get it. I see the difference.
Having someone to anchor yourself too in the darkness will really make your onward journey the best it could be: no matter how rough the seas.
Thinking of you both... long may you gain strength from each other. Xx
Rewatching this video I'm reminded of how special little Lynx was and how much you and Ali loved him. Its a horrible loss and I hope that Princess Lumi and Prince's Porter and Berkeley bring you both joy and comfort ❤

i lost my husband, the love of my life to cardiac arrest. he was 30, i was a widow at the age of 28....so i know how difficult it is to just get up and suck it up....as ppl would say, you need to move on with hour life...but...there is always a light at the end of the tunnel though it may seems impossible now...life is amazing. there is so much pain this world, but it also gives us relief, nothing in the world lasts.

Aakansha Shewakramani Thank you so much. That is so sweet and so appreciated.
@@Eva-jk2dn I'm so sorry for your loss too...
I love how you mix high end and lower end brands and make it look so chic!
Hurts to see you and Ali so upset. Wish I could take away that pain from you. Big hugs xxx
Always look forward to your vlogs Lydia! Wishing you solitude and comfort in your search also for Lynx ❤️
Lydia. . . . . . I'm praying for Lynx safe return. I haven't seen your other cat for a while do you still have Lumy? I may have misspelled that. You looked beautiful on your trip.
XoXo. . . . . 💗

Hi Lydia 🥰 I hope you are doing well. My 9 year old sends you a hug as she’s aware of Lynx.
That view from the hotel room is to die for!!😍😍 also Lydia getting excited about cinnamon ice cream and cake is the cutest thing ever!
Ali: “Just thinking about our boy. Praying for him.” 😢
good animal LOVERS , treat the animals as human as possible... so the loss is totally understandable. He was a BIG part of our lives too 😻
try to enjoy 😊 xo
Lydia you are doing so well of course you are finding it so difficult, you are doing so well you are grieving and the pain is indescribable only people with pets that they love so much will understand your pain .you try and have a lovely holiday xx
I hope Lynx comes back to you and Ali! :(
I can see the sadness in you guys even though you’re on your little honeymoon. Ali is right, the only thing you can do is to throw yourself into everyday life things. That doesn’t mean you’re moving on, you are living every day as it comes. I hope Lynx comes back to you guys soon. Thank you for sharing this holiday with us ❤️

Was anyone else over the moon when this video popped up? Yay!!
"move out the bloody way" lol she NEEDED the full lenght mirror
hahhahahha that cracked me up too!
I feel like the whole vlog she was nagging at poor Ali lol xx

Don't feel guilty about living your life still, or just because others think they're "just cats" doesn't invalidate how you see them, as your actual babies.

I'm holding on to all hope that Lynx will one day just saunter back home me. I feel your pain and sadness but don't give up.
Glad you are able to do a mini/honeymoon finally. I know it isn't easy given the timing of things, but life does go on. I am glad you took us along, but I also hope you and Ali had enough time to grieve. Hope is not lost, so keep your heads up. I am also glad to see hanging out with Leonie and friends allowed you to be happy for a bit.
Red Tiger Balm is fantastic to put on mosquito bites. Stops the itching and helps to heal without scarring. Also good at preventing bites.
How wonderful that you have such love for your baby. Don’t ever feel the need to explain to anyone YOUR grief and sadness. It’s yours and yours alone. No one should ever tell you how you should feel. Much love ❤️
Soooo sad for you both it’s making me cry . Still hopeing you will get him back xx
Clarins Eau Dynamisante Treatment Fragrance stops mozzie bites. I take it on holiday and never get bitten. Have to spray everywhere though. Luckily it is quite a light, fresh scent.
here are you guys? IT'S STUNNING!!!!
I love the realness and honesty you guys share from your lives and sharing all the beauty at the same time. I miss my cats too and might be another year before I get another pet.
Only seen 8 minutes but I have to say that I´m so happy that you and Ali have each other ❤️ I cannot imagine what you both are going through and my heart is breaking for you guys. Really love when you let Ali come in to your vlogs. It really showed how much support he is to you. It´s really strong of you both to work but if you want to take a break Lydia you can. We are not going anywhere ❤️
Fur babies so important and a huge part of the family. They are family! I'm so so sorry for you both!
I remember when my aunt and uncle lost their daughter, my cousin, in a senseless war in Zimbabwe in the 70's. So many people who lose a child, end up not being able to talk about it and grieve properly. I'm not trying to say it's the same as losing a child, or maybe it is exactly like that for you guys, but it's good that you are keeping on talking about him and talking to each other without closing up. It's so, so important. sending you both so much love xoxo
Lydia this vlog was perfect, honestly you were still your beautiful self. This is life and sharing it with us in your whole self however you feel is beautiful, as we all go through different things and if you didn't share you wouldn't be human. Sending lots of ❤️
Literally cried watching the introduction... I wish you all the best and hope you heal.
You looked so beautiful in all our outfits and Ali, handsome as always. You two make a great couple! Still hoping and praying for the lil fella. ❤️
I really hope that your little boy will come back soon. I really do feel for you. I have 2 furry boys myself and I cannot imagine myself when one of them is gone missing. Love and hugs to you Lydia, Ali and Lumi. xx
What a stunning location.. beautiful.. sorry to hear about lynx. Allow yourself to grief :( he is your baby. He might still be back.
The people that have gone through what you're going through completely understand. Hoping and praying for an eventual reunion or some closure. 💓Take care.
Don't give up on your little one yet, it's very possible that he will be back. Cats can disappear, it's not at all uncommon, and still come back after quite some time. My aunts cats did this and came back in good shape clearly well fed. We always imagined they went to some old lady who fed them well and then returned when they'd had enough of their little holiday.
Hello Lydia. I find your channel very relaxing and i love watching your long vlogs. i usually dont comment but i really couldn't resist myself so here it goes. its a common misconception that quinine found in tonic water protects you from mosquito bites. This misconception started during the British colonialism years. During these years British people who lived in Africa drank gin and tonic, and quinine which is a substance in tonic water protects humans from malaria which is transmitted by mosquitoes. Quinine works by interfering with the parasite's ability to digest human haemoglobin and formation of toxic products to this parasites that cause malaria. But quinine alone does not protect people from mosquito bites but from malaria transmitted from a mosquito bite.
I hope all this makes sense.
by the way i am a medical student and a huge fan of your channel
lots of love
Ana
Kudos to Ali for explaining with such emotional maturity what its like to grieve for an animal.♥️
Lighthearted observation:
Anglophones (especially British) are not good with emotions. We either deny their existence, or acknowledge them after-the-fact .eg. “I was a bit sad, but I’m ok now!”
Whereas here in France emotions are recognized in the moment (sometimes dramatically ...when we throw ourselves to the floor, overcome by whatever we are feeeling...happiness/despair/ love/ anger/ elation etc)
The 2 extremes really😏. But there are the pros and cons of both!
Sending you happy thoughts!
The two of you have to remain strong and keep the faith that lynx will return, I have six children and four are the sweetest doggies and hubby and I can’t even imagine what you and Ali are going through, enjoy each other in paradise.❤️❤️❤️
Congrats on being in the top 100 uk influencers at no 27!
Oh Lydia, my heart just goes out to you and Ali. I felt very much like the other poster who said she had a strong urge to pause your vlog to respond. There is so much love and support for you and Ali here and I hope you know there's no judgement on your path forward. Loss is such a personal thing and it manifests itself so differently in each of us and that's OK! While I love seeing you in fun videos and what you're up to, please take whatever time you need to move through this. We will still be here for you both when you return. Sending my thoughts and good vibes to you and Ali and hoping for his return. ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost a Pussycat years ago. The only thing that gave me some kind of peace? My friend said “so, after an unexpected adventure, he is now sitting on an old lady’s lap, bringing her joy and love for the first time in years”
Wow it's beautiful there! 😍 Sending you positive energy for finding your boy, which is exactly as you say they feel like your baby 💛
I can totally relate. We lost our first baby boy (2 yr. old doggie) approx. 12 yrs. ago at an accident, and it still hurts (it was devastating at first) but it's gotten better overtime. He is in my heart and memories. After Rusty, it took us 2 1/2 yrs. to get another baby boy (4 mons. old doggie) and now soon to be 10 yrs. old and I appreciate him everyday he's with us. I hope that Lynx will return and your heart is full again. The good thing that Lumi is with you and is happy and healthy.
I’ve noticed that while your accessories are very pretty, since you have such great features (eyes) you pretty much don’t need the help of jewelry! Curious how you look without any jewelry on and how you would style if so☺️
You two definitely deserve a great holiday ! Looks amazing !
I think this is an excellent vlog, showing two beautiful human beings going through a moment of pain and sharing it with us. Try to enjoy your lovely little honeymoon and never lose hope. 😘💪🏻
Honestly, I’m sure you and Ali hear this all the time, but the two of you are sooo beautiful both as individuals and as a couple, inside and out. As I continue to watch your videos (I’ve been a subscriber for years), I continue to like you more and more❤️
Praying for lynx safe return 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Grieving takes days, months, even years. It robs away the joy and hope in life. I have to force myself to work. Totally understand what you r going thru. As a content creator, you cant stop making videos altogether and you still have to put on a smile. This is hard. This video was taken days after Lynx was missing. Its not that Lydia keeps talking about how she is dealing with the lost. When it happened, she totally stop posting on instagram. And everyone including me was checking her instastories updates to see if she is ok. I would rather want a youtuber that is true to her feelings than someone who pretends everything is good. When we cant sympathize, try to empathize instead.
would you do a "what i eat in a day or a healthy day in my life"? your passion for wellness is inspiring :)
Take all the time you need, and you know what? I love your honesty and how you are both allowing yourselves to FEEL this. You have to feel it to heal it, and God knows it must have hurt so bad to have lost Lynx, he was a beauty. When my big fat chocolate tabby disappeared, I liked to tell myself that he was sat on some old lady's lap being fed smoked salmon!!! I hope he comes back to you. Keep on keeping on, you are BOTH doing so well. And even though your hearts hurt right now, you'll always HOLD him in your hearts with love.
Try Anthisan on the pesky mosquitos works a treat to get rid of the itching and swelling! Hope your boys shows up soon
Lydia, next time try a lemon perfume like L'Occitane verbena, as mozzies don't like lemon or lavender. You can also buy lemon cologne in supermarkets in Spain. Still thinking of Lynx, stay positive. Loved the vlog, looked amazing! x 😄
You did an amazing job on this vlog! Keep ya head up during this hard time!
I’m so sorry about your profound loss. I know how painful it is. All the best loves.
I feel , see, and understand what you are going through. Our pets are our babies, and the bigger the love, the stronger the pain. Don’t excuse your pain and sorrow, we understand, and if some people don’t, they should just stop watching your vlogs. 😘
Fenistil is the best cream for after bites of mosquitos. And i feel you... I have allergy on Msq bites and if i am out with people they will only bite me...and the funniest part is that i am anemic (it means that i really don't have healty blood).
Sorry for my english😅😂
You are so dear. A beautiful and generous gesture to bring us along on this special trip during such a bittersweet time. Hugs for you both.
Hello to you both. Much love to you throughout this time. I lost my little boy Shih Tzu, Merlin as he passed late last year, and honestly I was so grief stricken over losing him, and I am still missing him each day. It would be such an ordeal to have him missing though, as you don't know where, or how he is. Lots of love to you, and take one day at a time. Try to find some joy in each day. Love from Australia xxx
It’s so great to hear your laughter !
Lynx’s paw prints will always be in your heart and he had two wonderful parents! I know you will never replace Lynx and of course you would never want to but you do have a lot of love and caring to give to another little pet that would also need loving parents. Just a thought!
I feel like watching this we slowly got to see you become happier and heal yourself day by day, I think I speak for us all that we are so happy you did this- congrats on your ibizamoon and sending all the love and prayers💜💜💜💜💜
Hi Lydia, I am keeping you and Ali in my prayers for the safe return of Lynx. Sending positive vibes your way from Hilton Head, South Carolina. As I mentioned before, I had a similar experience last week and my kitty returned after 24 hours. I've heard of cats returning after lengthy times away, and hope that you'll be surprised soon with Lynx at your back door. Sending prayers, love and hugs to you both.
Learning to smile through the pain is something we all experience in life sadly. Just happy to share a little of your day - it doesn't always have to be 'perfect', authentic is always preferable I've found. Wishing you both well :)
Four minutes in and am about to start crying. I can't imagine how hard this was for you to do this when it was all still so raw.
Continue gathering your strength from each other. Some people might not understand, and say it’s just a cat. Those people do not understand that those are our fur babies. I had a puppy he was my little love! I understand. Love you both ❤️
I hope the flyer drop works, my brother in law lost his bird and a month later did a drop. Turned out some old dear had found the bird the next day and given it to her son, wasn't on social media. So it can help. Also, silver lining is you and Ali will realise how good you are together. When i lost my dad my husband was there for me and it made me look at our relationship in a different way. Four years later when he says something about my dad or a funny memory about him it makes me love him all the more. You can still share your love for lynx and memories of him together and he will always be there then.
I can’t believe that somebody would send such emails... it’s just mean. I still hope that Lynx will come back to you! But whatever it is, I am sure he is in good hands! Be strong and don’t lose hope!🙏🏻
Lots of love
Everything you're feeling is normal, and you should never feel like you have to vlog or worry about if it's a "good" vlog or not. All of your vlogs and videos are good (better than good!) because you're real and authentic. For you to be open and vulnerable enough to share your life as you and Ali go through this difficult time is a gift to your viewers. As someone who's going through a grieving process for a different reason right now, I know what it takes to pick up the camera and vlog when your heart isn't fully in it, but how helpful to the grieving process it can be to share it with your audience and let them inside and offer comfort. Don't worry about good vlogs versus bad vlogs. Vlog if you feel like it, don't if you don't, and remember that your core audience will love you through all the ups and downs and grief and pain you'll feel as you and Ali continue to search for Lynx and process everything you're dealing with. Love and sunshine from Arizona. :) xx
I can't imagine losing our Happyface. He's been with us since my daughter was four and she's 11 now. She calls him her cat brother because he's always been there for her. Hope all things work out for you guys.
Couldnt stop the tears. Lynz was likw a little son to you both. Its nit a worse Blog. Its ok for you to express your sadneds. Its very healthy. It may not be the same. But we grieve for you. Each day honestly I keep wondering is Lynx back. Almost everyone who has pets. If something happens it grieves their soul. So i do understand your pain. I pray God give you and Ali faith and strength. I pray deeply for Lynx to return. I cant imagine what could happen to him. Where did he go. So sad. Im glad youre both taking some time out to enjoy each other company. Relax. Enjoy. Blessings to you both.
Glad you had a lovely rest ! When Ali said little boy , I almost lost it !! I love that you see your pets as someone . I do as well . To me pets are like furry children 💕💕💕
I watched this blog with tears in my eyes 😢 I feel your pain xx

Loved this vlog. Loved your friends. Just so much fun.
Does anyone know the camera that she’s using?
Hugs! I really hope you will find him. Or find comfort in some way.
❣️ I know your heart is hurting but it will heal I promise what is the key for the healing? is One day at a time and each day it will get better😘
So true, soooo true :-)
