I don't know why your video pooped up on my screen??? As a mother who lost my beautiful thirty five year old daughter suddenly nine years ago on 23rd of October and also my dads passing was the 20th October my heart goes out to you.. 🤍myself and my son have decided that my daughter, his sister would not want us spending our lives being miserable and in honour of her we always try to do what she would want for us... On the anniversary of her passing we always go out and have a meal and celebrate her life and the love we all shared.......please think that your son would be devastated that you go to bed because of your grief for him. 😢....Yes at times I suddenly feel momentarily overcome with grief and sadness maybe by listening to the words of a song or just by the longing to see her and hear her jokes and laughter but, I will not allow the grief to continue and make me depressed because I hear her words and know that would be the very last thing she'd want and I don't want to disappoint her wherever her soul now is .. I know I'm a strong person and have overcome much sadness in my life, I know we're all different, I do hope that something I've said here resonates and helps you to find the strength to be a happier person for your sake and for your beautiful son who maybe looking down on you in extreme sadness because his passing and whatever caused that has kept you trapped in mourning and grief and I'm so very sure that's not what he would've wanted.. much love to you 🤍🕊️🙏🏻
I'm almost 64 , I know exactly where you coming from, but life continues find a hobby like gardening pets maybe a support group for survivors.God is with you U are never alone.
When my wife died January 1,2012 I was so lonely and depressed. Even around family and friends I couldn’t escape the loss of my wife, the depression and loneliness so I poured my heart out to God. Jesus said he would send the comforter when he was resurrected to heaven. I found there is no comforter like the Holy Spirit. He truly is the mender of broken hearts.
Grief is difficult. Can't imagine losing a child. My bed is my safety place also. Depression is difficult. We all have regrets. Moving forward is all we can do. I am single in my late 60s. Holidays are difficult for myself also.
I don't want to force my beliefs on you, but I spent 15 years waiting to die. I lost my only son 16 months ago. God somehow brought me out of the dark place, and now I value my life. Ironically I have been diagnosed with terminal cancer, but I now treasure my days..even my solitude. There is much peace to be found in God's hands.
I got depressed watching this...I'm going to leave you with a word of encouragement. I too lost my only child to suicide at 16 1/2. There is no time limit on grief; that being said, the world keeps on spinning and turning whether we're in it or not. I choose to be in it. Every day I make the choice. I hope you can find a good therapist, friend, counselor, church or someone that can help you pull yourself out of misery.
... Thank you for your kind and honest and thoughtful words of encouragement .... The world does keep spinning even if we choose to reduce our participation . Your suggestion to choose participation is humble and accurate .
Only Jesus. I hold on to Him alone, and many times I have to ask Him for help just to get groceries without crying. I remind myself that He is always with me, and will never forsake me. I also know that if I look at the black hole long enough, it will suck me in. I do know what a battle it is not to do that. May God give you His peace and love to get through.
Jesus said 'Come to me all who are weary and are heavily laden and I will give you rest. He is acquainted with grief and sorrows of every kind. That means there is someone who does understand the unexpressed (even secret) pain and emotions we are experiencing when we go through fiery trials and the deepest darkest valleys. We can lay every burden down before Him in prayer because He understands, He truly cares and can help us through it sometimes in the most unexpected of ways. It is good that you are talking and sharing on here and I have subscribed.
I live with regrets every day. I am 59, kids don't talk to me because their dad had an affair when we were married and after we divorced married her. She is alcoholic and brings drama every where she goes. I don't try to be the bad one , so maybe they will contact me before I die. I always wanted a big family but it didn't work out that way for me. I have dogs now, but just to have one Christmas where I here the word mom again would be so special. If feels as I get older I have no friends or they passed away. I don't see my grandkids. So I understand.
I think of myself as a cat. A cat will go to dust when it dies, but it enjoys every day it's alive. It doesn't need other cats; it just enjoys being itself. That's me. All I need is to be alive. When I'm dead, I won't need that anymore. I hope you find a frame of mind to accept and enjoy your life. It's a frame of mind, and nothing else matters.
Hi friend! Your video was randomly recommended to me, and I'm very glad it was. While I do not have children, I am able to empathize with your feelings of loneliness, depression, and hopelessness. I understand the feeling of wanting to shut everything out and lay in bed all day, it's a comforting feeling, but it's a very isolating feeling of comfort. I developed anorexia in high school and almost died multiple times from it. I felt so alone, isolated, and hopeless. I felt my life had no meaning and wanted to die. I say all this to show that there are others who are feeling this way, and they are more than happy to help you get through these hard times. If I may, I would like to offer some coping skills that help me and may help you. When you're feeling disconnected, a method to ground yourself is holding a piece of ice. Focus on the feeling of it and allow it to center yourself. Another mindfulness technique I use is aromatherapy. Grab a tea bag, a flower, really anything that has a scent that is pleasant to you. Smell it and try to focus on the scent and the feelings it brings up. If you are able to, freeze a lemon or orange. Once it is frozen, rub it on areas of tension. This is a great method as it combines both the cold feeling and aromatherapy techniques. Another technique is to sit in a chair with your knees at a 90 degree angle, bare feet on the floor, and your open palms on your thighs facing upwards. Allow yourself to do a body scan. Notice any areas of tension, any areas that feel uncomfortable. These techniques help me a lot, especially when I'm extremely anxious or feel myself dissociating. I am here for you and want to help you as much as I can. You are worthy of happiness. You deserve to feel comfortable, loved, and at peace.
Thank you for the kind words. Its nice to know ppl understand. The things you mentioned will not work for me. I am under a dr care. I am on meds. But l handle my self in a different way. I have to talk to myself within my head or out loud like l am a seperate person to get my self going. It works for me. Thank you for being here to support my channel.
Thank you for being brave enough to share. I’m 54 all four children are grown and don’t seem to have any time for me. I do the exact same thing. I have treatment resistant major depressive disorder. And complex PTSD I’m alone all the time no friends no family no car. I no longer wish to be here. I feel my time here is done. I pray most nights to not wake up ❤ Hugs to you. I’m so sorry for the loss of your son. I simply can’t imagine that kind of pain.
“I feel my time here is done”…Wow! Thought I was the only one thinking that. I can totally relate. 56, kids grown, and feel I’ve done pretty much what I came here to do so what’s the point in hanging around much longer. I know it’s not my call though so just waiting for God to call my number and trying to make the best of things until then. Try to stay busy gardening, reading, looking after my home and my pets, working…Anything to pass the time I guess. Thanks for sharing what you’re going through. Reading it made me feel not so alone. Blessings!
I just found your channel. I’m so very sorry about your son. My heart goes out to you. This time of year is very hard for me too, very depressing for many reasons. I have some family but it’s dysfunctional and very hard at the holidays. Always look forward to January. Please hang in there honey.
Aging can be such a lonely isolating event. I'm in my 60's & I cannot emphasise enough how important it is to participate within society at this time. Whether it be a grief support group, volunteering to help others, a hobby interest group. You have a wealth of knowledge to teach & share. Don't waste it by staying within your grief. You have so much more living to do
Milton Erickson (the psychiatrist & ‘father’ of modern hypnosis) suggested a v depressed housebound woman could do positive activity by sending violets she grew up people whose engagements, illnesses etc she read in the local paper. This was a game-changer for her. (The ‘Violet Queen of Milwaukee’). As comment above, hopefully you can reach out to others on-line or in your community..
I. Lost. My first. Love. My soulmate of 27 years to. Cancer. Alexis my Daughter. Died at age 18. Mama. Died. 2018. My aunt uncle who live next door to my mom they died before then we were all very close my brother died in 2007. He was my only sibling. So I know about death and I know about depression but God got me through it and he could get you through it too you need to talk to him more if you’re not talking to him enough or talk not talking at all I know how easy it is not to but how rewarding it is when you do🌈🦋🕊️✝️🛐 never give up never give in keep fighting because this life is worth living✝️🛐🌈🦋🌈🕊️❤️❤️I’m age 62 you. Need not. Suffer. Your son is not suffering. They are in. Heaven. Happy as can be ❤❤❤❤❤❤🌈🦋🕊️
First thank you for supporting my channel. Yes. I am. Christian. I believe in prayer. And l beleive in the promises of our Heavenly father. Sorry for all your loss as well. May God truly hold you in his arms. Be well. Thank you for visiting us.
I'm laying here in my bedroom, scrolling, when I should be getting dressed and getting on. Your video came on as a suggestion - I am stunned at our similarities 😮 Lisa, UK ❤
I think it's very brave of you to share your struggles with depression and loneliness. This is a big step! It's nice to see so many people showing you support and compassion in the Comments. Sending you hope-filled hugs, from one dog-lover to another. 💞
People think happiness is big events and a lot of people and parties. Not true. I find happiness taking my senior rescue dog for a stroll, then we go out for a taco - she enjoys looking through the drive-thru window at the fastfood workers - then we drive home as she hangs out the car window. Then later at home, I make us a fresh organic meal and she hops up and down in the kitchen while I cook. I'm sorry about your son and mom.
That is nonsense! Your life is not worthless. Nobody in this world was put here to just give up. Why wish for things in the past? Today is a new start and you can change the future. Get rid of the negative thoughts and change them with positivity. Small things are a blessing and don’t cost a penny! Take time to breathe in the fresh air, look up in the sky and enjoy the beauty. Have that cup of coffee. Pay attention to the smell, the bold flavour, join a group & meet up with them. Enjoy the company and know we all have struggles and we lean on each other. Sending you love ❤
You shouldn’t tell a depressed person that their feelings are nonsense. That’s the worst thing u can say. You obviously have never felt the agony that depression deals some of us, it is indescribable. Smelling coffee? Sorry. It doesn’t matter to a depressed person. Telling a depressed person to “get rid of the negative thoughts and replace with positive is downright cruel. Look up in the sky and see the beauty is laughable. I guarantee you post will make a depressed person worse. You’re as bad as those who tell us “just get over it”. We cannot do that or we would. Maybe you’ve been depressed before but not severely. U wouldn’t have said the offensive things u said. Do not reply to me. You need to think before you give “advice” to depressed people. I would not bother reading your reply.
Sorry for your troubles. My son died in a ski accident at age 21 and I agree it’s hard to talk about . Fortunately I have other kids but still it’s the worst thing to have to carry through life as a mom.
I am age 68 and have lived alone for 18 years. My mother died last year, and I have no family left at all. Last night I watched the 1975 movie Airport with Charlton Heston and Karen Black, and had to pause the movie and cry a few times, because it gave me memories of back then. No one will ever call. I have 4 cars and a big house and just me. Luckily I dont drink at all and no one else should either. Holidays? I dont practice any holiday at all. I also dont miss get togethers, because get togethers disgust me because its about peoples drinking and men talking about foot ball and I hate football. What I miss is talking on the phone and just having a friend over. I make random videos here on YT and listen to music.
Thank you for visiting us. My life was greatly impacted by covid as well. I never have been a very social person. But l truly enjoy having my channel. I try to do a lot of things on it. But my main focus is frugal living. I'm always looking for a bargain or an idea l can share on my channel. I am glad you found my channel. And l hope we can become good friends here. Thank you for visiting us.
@@livinginthemoment1625 Me and covid? I ignored that ever since it started back around March of 2020. Life after that silliness started was same as life years earlier, so I sat back and let other people live in fear. I love my channel also. I make lots of videos telling people how to fix their cars and how to stop being scammed by auto repair. If everyone chooses to ignore me and treat me as though im dead, LOL, I may as well share my knowledges through video. Dear, for those times you lay in the dark and stare up at the ceiling? When this happens GET up and do something because youre already awake anyway, so why voluntarily lay there and agree to be tortured. If you knew me I would have you laughing. Last night when I kept taking breaks from that movie to cry, thats healthy and is a healthy cry. Jesus Christ will listen to you if people will stop the prayer redundant chanting and just talk to Jesus Christ out loud. But laying in the dark is agreeing to be tortured, so get up and dont cooperate with it
@@brendathompson4939 Actually people could get more done by sitting and talking to one another, than moving around and doing things all the time. Its talking and sharing that is communication, and without that no one can know one another. All the way back to when I was a teen my mom and dad never listened to me at all, but instead would just assume they know what I needed and should do, so actually even then I was alone and my parents never knew me at all
It's only me, I have noone. This time of year is the hardest time I have to get through. Starts around middle November and thru the new year. It's a time for family and I have none. It's hard and overwhelming. You know hindsight is 20/20. Don't look back at what was, look forward to what can be. Do they have a Senior Center in your area? I live in a small town but we have one, I use to work there actually. They serve hot meals daily and if you don't have money you can eat free or they do home delivered meals. Hot meal delivered daily to your home. Do they have any of those services in your area? Can you get out 2 or 3 days a week and walk? I do that daily and it has helped a lot. Met some of my neighbors and my dog loves it! Some days I just sit out in the sunshine, feels so good shining down of me. I journal also. I have a cheap spiral notebook from Dollar Tree and write everything that is on my mind...the good, the bad, and the ugly. I'm very truthful with me and how I feel. Something about writing it down helps me some. Guess just getting it all out. This time of year thru winter is hard, I know. I have to make me do things...sometimes I don't win but I feel better if I do try. I hope you feel better. Believe me when I say I know how you feel. Life is hard alone, that's a fact.
So do appreciate all you say. I journal as well. Have used our senior center. No free meals there though. I have lots of free time and plenty to do. Have to make myself do it as well. Glad you have visited me. Wont you visit again soon?
Hahahaha girl you don't need to be The Travel Channel, you don't need to live in a fancy house or have the latest of anything in order for me to enjoy watching your content. I enjoy your channel because you are down to earth. I wasn't looking for fancy but someone i could relate to.
Start a group you're not alone. Find a church or place where everyone can meet. Do things together. Go shopping, just for coffee, walks in the park. Lost many people during these two months and allot had birthdays during this month and Christmas. 19 yrs old and he hung himself. I have no advice, but hang on to the Lord, reach out to others. Life is hard sometimes. Prayers for you. Hugs.
This year will be my first to be alone for the holidays. My husband passed away in June. Yes I do have my daughters but they have their own lives. Vicki, we all have regrets, and your right we can’t go back and change things. I do try and keep busy as much as I feel like it. Being outside does help some. Sunshine is good for depression! Do you have anyplace that you could volunteer and be with people? Maybe that would help. Maybe get another part time job. You liked the last one. Stay blessed and keeping you in my prayers.🙏💕
@ Vicki, looks tall the views and likes on your video! All these people love and care about you! Some people suggested if you have or can join a church. Mine has helped me a lot. And I love being able to help in anyway I can . In January I volunteered to be one of the church cleaners. We are a very small church so this will give me a way to help. Stay blessed Vicki and be well.🙏❤️
Hi sweetie, ❤ New viewer here, I just saw your channel, let me tell you this: Get up and get going with life!!! As long as you are breathing means you have a chance to reinvent yourself and take control of what you can to make it worth living!! Nothing worse than one day on your dying bed regretting not trying your best when you had time!!! Basically you are throwing it all away just lying in bed allowing depression stealing your precious TIME!!! You have more than many people! You have a good mind, able body! You have intelligent to create a RUclips channel with followers! You drive, you don’t have a diagnose of cancer etc!!! You still have a life!! Food, Fresh water, warm bed to sleep in!!! You have lots!!! Think about it…. So, put it together and live!!! ❤
This is the first time I have seen your video...want to thank you....I lost my son ....he was 39...I understand completely how you feel....I dont want to at all sound like I am being pushy... but my strength every minute of the day comes from the Lord...I couldn't bear this without him and his comfort....and the hope I have is that I will see him again when I get to heaven. Oh the joy I will feel..I dont know if you realize but you help many...thank you❤
Omg, do I know how u feel. Depression is one tough enemy. People think u should just shake it off, but it’s impossible, don’t they know we WOULD if we COULD. PLEASE stop looking back. It makes everything worse. It is such a difficult journey. Yes, I’ve laid in bed for days. No shower for 2 months, hair not washed. Utterly overwhelming to even THINK about getting up. I got help and it took a while, but I got alot better. Please don’t give up, if I can get better so can u, God Bless You, I feel your every word. Your son was killed? Dear God. Let yourself grieve. Oh, my I am so so very sorry. Please know that I, a total stranger thinks about you and I will be praying for you sweet lady❤
@@almaconnor9171 the beginning of your comment touched my spirit. I am so very like that as well. It is a job just to make myself do what needs to be. I appreciate you watching my channel. Please come back soon.
@ I absolutely do read your channel. My heart truly goes out to you. I know that kind of suffering. And I can tell you that you CAN get better. The first thing my therapist told me is this: no matter how u feel, u MUST get up and move. Even for a few minutes at a time. Build on that. Just KEEP doing it. It was torture in the beginning, it took a while until it wasn’t so bad. I kept at it and kept at it. Our minds respond positively to bodily movement. I started cleaning up. That in itself is a great help. Are u a worrier? If so, ask yourself this question when u start fixating on something….”do I REALLY need to worry about this right now”. What would happen if I didn’t? I use this all the time. The answer is usually NO. I do not NEED to worry about it. Give yourself permission not to worry. I usually forget what it was I was so worried about. Try that. I’m going to go back and read your posts. Maybe I can understand you better and if I can I will tell u what helps me. I will pray for you. Please hang in there. I’ll be around, I promise.
I can’t imagine what you are going through 💔. My wife passed away on August 11th 2024. We were married for 50 years on August 10th 1974. This is for all of us that have been facing grief may one day we can find some peace.💔💔🙏
You know, I bet if all people were really honest, they'd admit to being depressed more than we think. MY problem is 2-fold. I get depressed AND have severe high anxiety. I never was fortunate to even give birth to a child...and that has ALWAYS been severely depressing to me. We lost our only chance at having even one child when I lost our sweet Victoria in my tummy at the beginning of my 6th month. It tore us apart and we divorced after having been married 28.5 years. Starting out at age 48, with never having worked, was so darned hard. I will keep you in my prayers, Vicky. I have those days where I, too, don't get out of bed. I stay up all night and go to bed just before the sun comes up. I HAVE to sometimes stay up when it's dark, and sleep during the light of day. Go figure. Being 76 and feeling like I'm closer to heaven every birthday, doesn't help either. I think I have too many hobbies that I just never get to do that doesn't help my depression. God bless you, sweetie.
I can relate. That is exactly how l am. Peace. I am basically a happy person. Just this month. I have mild depression. So most of the time l am ok. But being alone gives me pkenty of time to dwell on my past mistakes. Thank you for visiting us.
i think the best thing to do on holidays is volunteer somewhere to help homeless people or physically and mentally challenged people. There are so many out there to volunteer to. I don't like the holidays with my extended family members, no one really gets along that well. Money and status and relationship issues....some have a lot of money and rub it in. Not nice. I spend time with my daughter, twice divorced. She has a disabled child. If i did not have them---i would volunteer especially at Thanksgiving, giving out food. They need me now, sometimes the holidays are very difficult for them, so i like to be there for them.
I’m so sorry you are sad and depressed and so sorry for the loss of your son. May God bring peace and hope and love to you this time of the year! 16:52 ❤Blessings to you my friend! ❤️🙏🙏🙏🎄
Thank you so much for telling it like it is...The holidays are extremely hard for single people.I am almost seventy and I never dreamed I would be all alone.Thank the good Lord for pets which help fill the loneliness, but nothing really helps for long.Prayer is a wonderful blessing because the Lord truly sees our pain and understands Lean on him he loves you and will never leave you.Sending a BIG HUG your way...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Ok, you cant go back, but the knowledge that you have brought forward is immense, and it will not be forgotten. Celebrate what you have done even if not recognized by family o friends. Get up if you can and realize that you are wonderful.
This video just so happened to show up for me to watch. I'm so glad I got to watch it. I suffer from anxiety and depression, too. I just recently was diagnosed with PTSD and bipolar on top of everything else, as well. I know what you are going through, at least to some extent. Honey, try to keep your head up. Find a counselor. It'll help.
I am really old too. I was doing great until Tuesday, the 5th of November. I landed in a big, stupid hole and I don't know how to crawl out. I will figure it out. But, I really feel bad for this woman. I hope she can find a way out.
To all, NEVER REGRET the mistakes youve made, they cannot be undone, learn from them and then do better. Thats the lesson. Regret is wasteful because you cannot be in the present when youre entertaining it. Life is a journey for us all. We were born and he we are. Its not really a race. Holidays are hard. Expectations arent met. We dont get a do-over. But each person has done at least 1 thing, (in reality thousands) for another human that helped them in some struggle that may habe made the entire difference for that person. A giant chain of small interactions. So very sorry for your loss. Your X husband was a real coward.
Bless your heart, you're not alone! I lost a 10 mo old son that had been sick all of his life, and he would've been 40 on 9/26. I just finished Chemo for breast cancer, after being in remission for 13 years, am recovering from surgery and with Radiation coming soon. I'm having to go thru all of this with no contact from my 2 adult sons because their girlfriends are so jealous and obviously threatened by me, as sick as that is! There was never any reason for this, I never did anything to deserve this, but now I wouldn't have anything to do with those women due to this pain, Ever! I had always heard that some families had issues like this, but never could've imagined it affecting my family! The closeness that I've had with my sons and now don't even hear from them has been going on almost 15 mos. I was diagnosed last Feb and my oldest would pick me up from a procedure on a rare occasion, but he supposedly even forgot to pick me up after my Oct 1 surgery. I haven't seen the other 1, in 15 months. I didn't mean to ramble, I just want you to remember that "if you can acknowledge it you're over halfway there", is a motto that I've tried to live by, for a long time. You're not alone, many of us know that we're good people, but the devil is alive and well, so we need to fight him at every turn, to have the life that we know we deserve. Finding you tonight is what I was supposed to do, bc it's been a very hard week. Oftentimes, getting outside of ourselves and helping others can provide more clarity, to help us be what we want and what we know God wants us to be! Keeping you in my prayers, dear friend!🙏❤🙏
Hi. Stay strong & fight your illness. Focus on you. I have two daughters & grandchildren I never see. Life is very tough; We have had a terrible year ! Big hugs ❤from Uk xxxxx
Sad. I too am a cancer survivor. 7 weeks of radiation after surgery. Life goes on it seems. Dying is part of living. That l know. So glad you stopped by.
I lost my mom to Dementia while I was her sole hospice caregiver...my dad unexpectedly during a 'simple' medical procedure and my 2 dogs (my children) back to back to Cancer. I would never presume to tell any anyone I know how you feel; but I empathize with you tremendously. I have no family left and struggle on a daily basis to understand why I'm still here (yes, I have a therapist). Sending love and virtual hugs to you.
@@pamelafrancis4476 yes! She is strong in that she is able to openly share her true feelings with others. Not everyone is able to do that. Myself, would never be able to do that. In my family we were taught to keep everything stuffed inside. They (parents) didn't want to hear it.
Oohh please, don't judge yourself so hard. You are very kind, honest and sincere. I feel for you, losing your son. It is very hard. But you are not alone, you have all of us, caring for you and listening to your interesting story. And you are a great story teller. We celebrate holidays here together ❤❤❤❤ Take care and love to see your next video ❤❤❤❤❤
I know the feeling of grief and loneliness of sadness I too have to walk into a empty house after going to someone's for Thanksgiving or Christmas is very sad I can relate to your feelings and the depression my heart goes out to you
Life sounds like mine. I lost my youngest son at seven years old. My other son has a daughter that i was very much involved with until she grewup and went her own way with everyone. Nobody talks to her. She has two sons i never ever met. They're four and five. Im sure I'll never meet them. So lost my son granddaughter and great grandsons. Yes my parents have passed away. It was way easier to accept the loss of parents as that is the natural order of life. You are not supposed to lose your children ever. My parents were great so there is no disrespect here. My best friend got killed in front of me and other trauma in life. Lots of medical issues and two pain disorders. I live with a very good man and still have my other son although he lives very far away and i have not seen him in three years. He has a beautiful wife that I talk to every day. I own my own condo. And that's life
I don't think you are making others depressed, just sharing your experiences. I'm 45 years old and a loner myself. The most significant people in my life passed away, they were my mom and my granny. I didn't marry or had kids. I don't feel depressed, but I cry constantly because I miss them. I talk to them in my mind and sometimes loud. I like to watch other people life's experience. I don't know if it's too personal, but I 'd love to hear more about your divorce. How old were you? How long have you been married? Did your child had already moved out home? Did you meet your ex-husband again? Do you know if he left you for another woman? How did you cope? Anything you want to share, it's a very impactant situation. I wish you all the best 💕.
im from saudi arbia i like your video , im 36 now ,and i do not know how it will end up for me . i watch old people just learn what should i do to gain safaty. you live your life once as you said , but there nothing in my hand to change things
"Come to Me all you who labor & are heavy laden & I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you & learn of Me, for I am meek & lowly of heart, then you will find rest unto your soul. For My yoke is easy & My burden is light." Truly.. 'He restores my Soul." So sad to hear of your deep pain! You are in my thoughts & Prayers! God's blessings to you!
Hi Vicky. I saw other people call you by that name. I first want to say that as one who has lived with depression for 50 years, I can empathize with that. I know that having lost your dear son is a grief that won't go away. Maybe that is all I should say is that I understand how you feel although it is you who feel and no one can feel what you are going through like you. When I was 19 I was forced to drop out of college with a severe mental breakdown. I was ready to end my life, but in the midst of all this darkness, I became aware of a presence drawing me to Jesus. I didn't find Jesus. He found me and He drew me. Finally I was convinced that there was a God and He has a Son and I finally came. Now the mental strain I went through somehow damaged my brain. While I am much better, I still live with this and other health issues. I learned that God is not only Lord of the mountain tops, He is Lord of the valleys too. I met the Lord in the valley and because what I have gone through as a consequence of my illness, I know the Lord in a deeper and more personal way than have most. I don't have all the answers but I know that Jesus is One who will never leave you or abandon you. He said to His disciples, "I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to you" (John 14). There are friends who say they are friends, "but there is a Friend who sticks closer than a brother" (Proverbs). His name is Jesus. I recommend that you find someone you can confide in if you can rather than suffer isolation. People are relational beings. We do need interaction with others. My prayers are with you and I encourage you to perhaps pray and be honest with the Lord. Its my hope that as you do, He also will draw you as He has me. Ted
I am a single divorced lady. I set my alarm every day to get up early. Write down some chores to do the night before. The pain and dissapointments will always be with us but we need to find ways to get through it not being so hard on ourself. Be thankful for God being there for you and trust Him and not humans. They will always disappoint us. Holidays I don't celebrate like Christmas and all those manmade stuff anyways.
My God, I can relate too, too much to this video. I think they call it rumination when you are stuck in dark and negative thought loops. And anhedonia when nothing brings you pleasure anymore. All part of major, clinical depression. It is so, so awful and I'm sorry to hear you're struggling through this.
I'm so sorry that you're feeling so down! Please know that there are people here that care about you, even though we would normally be called "strangers." Please know that your life is not "worthless." You are a child of God! I hope you will feel happier soon. Take care.
Vicki, I feel so bad for you and I can totally relate to depression. Everyone thinks we all should live "Hallmark" lives-everyone is pretty, successful and has a lot of friends. In truth this is not reality-a lot people struggle to get through each day. Take care of yourself and the girls! I am praying for you. 🥲🙏❤
I'm 62 never married and my complicated grief since 2010 and my complicated relationship with mom just passed. I make myself go to church, rosary and prayer class. Yesterday I couldn't make a prayer class fatigued and depressed. Watch Pastor Rick and try to walk 20 min every day in a safe place. Or sit outside. God bless you and all of us with similar circumstances. 🙏
My mother died in October, my Father committed suicide in November and my Ex took my 3 week old daughter and left me at the end of October. So yes, tough time of year for many of us, but it never really goes away. I put faith and trust in God now to bring my love and light and he does provide. He brings the animals, he has brought a friend, and he provides for me.
I don’t know why your video popped up on my feed. We have something in common in that we both had an only child who died young. Mine died suddenly in 2020 when he was 22 and what followed were desperate times. I still think about him every day with lots of what ifs. I remember a good analogy on grief I heard. It involved imagining that grief is a rubber ball squeezed into a jar. At first there is no room for anything else but that suffocating grief, but every time you do something positive, even when you have to force yourself the jar grows a little bit bigger. Eventually while the grief hasn’t gotten less, you find it easier to carry. I found this to be true and have built a new life (it is impossible to carry on with the old one when a nuclear bomb just laid waste to all of it). There are many people out in the world suffering And lonely too who you would be valuable ally for, so think about getting out there bit by bit. We all need purpose and we are all needed … by someone. My only other advice is check basic things like vitamin D level. There’s a definite correlation with chronic depression. I wish you well and hope to see more videos about your progress.
Your channel just showed up in my recommended… Right now and this is the first video I clicked on and I’m just a couple of minutes in and I want to tell you something… Your life is not over. As long as you have breath in your chest you have opportunity to do better and be better. I know that this life is difficult and at the end of the day we will all end up alone… It is OK to just enjoy being with yourself. I know that grief is hard and overwhelming and depression can be tough to fight… But you can do it you can overcome and your book has not been written yet there are still pages to go so make them great!!!
Thank you so much for watching. This month is hard. But l usually have better days. My depression is mild. And not every day is like these. I am so fortunate to have people like you to encourage me.
Wrapping my arms around you! Loss is incredibly difficult! Hold tight tomorrow needs you! I’ve been there! Inch by inch! If you just breathe that is enough! Kindness towards yourself!
Thank you for the video. I was feeling very sad this morning. Im on my own with a disabled child. Somedays you ask God why some are so blessed and others not. You made me feel not so alone this morning. Thank you so much.❤❤
ma'am i don't know you but you are worth you are strong and you are courageous and you are never ever ever alone , Jesus loves you more than you will ever know i am so sorry for your losses my condolances may God bless you and watch and keep you , i know there are moments that it feels like we are alone and noone cares but trust and believe we are not if you are one of God's children meanin born again christian he is right there holding you and assuring you that he has and won't ever left he said in his word he will never leave or forsake you , hugs it will get better 🤗
Isaiah 40:31. But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your son. May he rest in Peace. how sad that you cannot see his children...that breaks my heart for you. God bless you.
I definitely know all about depression and anxiety. I can’t do what I use to because of COPD and lymph nodes removed because of cervical cancer. You are such a sweet lady. I am so sorry about your son. This last year my daughter has been struggling with horrible mental issues. My brother just found out he has cancer . It broke his hip. I cry a lot. I do have a husband and he is so great and understanding. He is my second husband my first one died. I also am trying to get those watch hours. I to need to do more videos. My prayers are with you Hugs
HI Vicki, may I say that there is no one living on this planet who doesn't have some kind of regret if they're honest because none of us is perfect and life doesn't come with a handbook. You did the best you could with what you knew at the time and that is good enough please don't beat yourself up. I'm so sorry that you lost your son and I just want to say that you are not alone in your grief or your depression. Remember to just breathe and take one day at a time, give yourself grace and above all know that you are worthwhile and that you do matter. Sending you my sincere wishes for a brighter tomorrow.
You know, I was just praying to God to take me from this world. I am so tired of it. I see I am not alone. May your heart know comfort and peace again . I lost my Dad to cancer 2 years ago. And then I knew love for the first time , only for it to be taken. What is a life without love? It would have been better not to know. It’s the deeply sensitive souls that suffer the most.
Good Morning Vicki.. Your video popped up across my feed, and somehow, I felt compelled to watch. I just want to say I'm terribly sorry to hear of all the trauma and loss you've experienced in your life, especially that of your son. As a mother of a 35 yr old son (my only child), I can't even imagine the pain and grief you feel. That being said, during the course of my life(63 yrs old), I have experienced severe traumas, loss, depression, and chronic health/ pain issues and was on the brink of losing my life for 3 years before and during the pandemic. Somehow, by the Grace of God and the prayers 🙏 of many here on Earth and in Heaven I am here to tell the tale. While I am presently wheelchair avd housebound, I am greatful to be alive and hope to continue to heal and rehabilitate. I have faith that if I can come out of the other side, you can as well. First and foremost you must forgive yourself and practice self love. It would also be beneficial to take your focus off yourself and volunteer your time in to help others in need. Please take care and try to give thanks for one blessing in your life each day. I will be keeping you in thought and prayer 🙏. Sending love ❤️ and hugs 🫂 your way.
Lonely is just that negative "thought spiral" of depression. I, e.g., am always alone, but almost never feel lonely ever! And pondering about anythung that you did or that happened in the past is a sure path to depression, too. Try thinking about the things you CAN do now and not about the things you did or someone else did to you in the PAST! :-) You can never change the past but you can to various degrees change or alter things in your presnet and future!
Thank you for sharing your heart. You are a safe space for so many of us. I'm 69, never married, and trying to learn how to support myself with my art work and anything else I can do in spite of certain chronic pain issues that make it hard for me to stay on my feet for very long. This is an interesting time, because I've always tried to see every life experience as an adventure, even those slow, lonely and heavy times. I love the title of your channel! May you be blessed with peace, good fortune and better days ahead. 💖🌼🌿
My son was murdered in Feb 2015 he was 25 it is very very hard nobody wants me to talk about it thinks I should be over it my life is different me before Justin's death and me after Justin's death I'm so sorry you have to go through this sorry for everyone who's going through this.....God Bless you all....
My 5 weeks of what I call my emotional #RoundingCapeHorn is starting in a few weeks with the holiday period. Tonight, 6 and a half years ago, I lost my husband and best friend of 31 years. I've lost 7 relatives, including my mother died also 3.5 yrs ago. I've not any children but I lost 2 cats who my husband and I considered our fur-babies. I hear you and see you. I'm so sorry that you are going through this difficult period. Give yourself extra self-care during this time; you deserve it.
RUclips just suggested this for me. Im in the UK november feels so dark. I too been spending time in bed till at least 2pm. Got up today at 2.45pm, told myself this is ridiculous. So watched a youtuber, walking and raising money for Movember Mens prostate and testicular cancer. So I put my hat, gloves, coat, trainers on. Bumped into a friend met doggies. Chatted got a hug. Im in alcohol recovery again day 2. I lost a friend to suicide year last August. So sad. Stick with up lovely lady, dont even know your name. But your important to me ❤❤❤
Finally some depressed people to relate to lol. Well I been working on myself, nutrition, going to some online recovery meetings too, doing walking at parks. I'm alone a lot by force. Prayer in my room really helps and fixing it up in there to just be cozy and healing. Losing a son now that's a reason to be depressed as that's the worst pain. Your son wouldn't want you to still be so hurt but to find some peace for him and you. Live well for him he would like this i think. I know couples who are miserable lol so I feel alone but it could be worse dealing with a relationship these days. Maybe I hit the gym tomorrow. You got plan find things hobbies to do. I sat next to this gal at a meeting once and she moved away to another chair and said to everyone that she can't be near depressed persons wth. I can't imagine ever treating someone like that. It was mind blowing and I can't even process it in my thoughts. Hang in there everybody, If no one told you they care well I do.
I lost my only son in July of 2020......i have no family not many friends......i am lonely and very sad as well.......i wish i lived closer to you we could be good friends
Practice acceptance and self love. You can do this with self respect and love. We all make mistakes, I have made so many , I am human and fallible. To be alive is to make mistakes. Love to you from Wales.
I am a new subscriber and watched your tea Tuesday after I watched this video. On your tea Tuesday you mentioned about giving a friend who has six children food and I would like to suggest that you help that person with one or two of her children for an hour or two and think it will help her out and also help you. Also take your little dogs for a walk everyday. Exercise in nature is such an uplifting feeling. I think helping others is also a great way to make yourself feel better and I know the woman with six children will really appreciate you giving her a break in her very busy life. Also please don’t ask her if she wants help, I learnt that people will say no but they do not mean it. If you say I would love to give you a break for yourself, I can give you two hours on whatever day is good for you. Please just try to think how you can help someone once a week, or volunteer in a dog shelter for an hour, once a week. Also go to the library and get a good book to read or a book you can listen to on whatever you enjoy.and will bring a smile to your heart. Just remember you are what your thoughts are. So sorry for all your loses, and your bad x husband. It does no good thinking of it over and over. Do not let those bad thoughts make you sad, let them make you mad and say screw him, and hope he is having an unhappy life. Also love your pets, I love my dog and constantly tell him every day how much joy and how much I love him. There are many things in life, that God has given us called nature, that are beautiful. You can change your thoughts and I would ask God to help you and He will. Trust me, you can take one day at a time. Also writing down two things everyday that you are thankful for will help. Be thankful you can still take care of yourself, can hug your precious pets, love how sunshine makes you feel. Be thankful for your friend that sent you what you needed, in the mail. I hope my suggestions have helped you realize that you can feel better, by just changing your thoughts. Please let me know, and May Gods bless you in days ahead.🙏🏼💕
I want to thank you so very much for your kind words. I am so happy to know that people really do care about me. Your support of my channel means the world to me. Visit again soon..
This is the first time I have clicked on your channel. Depression is very hard. Also Grief is hard. Also in Depression you mind clings to things that are hurtful often. I have struggle with Depression and Anxiety . I just know that if it was not for my personal relationship with Jesus I am not sure where I would be today. I am sure it is hard to live alone . I assume you are living alone. Do you have any pets? Pets are a great comfort. You need them and they need you. I just want you to know there is hope in Jesus. , He loves you very much and he understands your depression and grief but he also does not like to see you depressed or sad or hopeless. Each day take baby steps to try to get out of bed. Get up and do something and then you can lay down a tad and get up again. Maybe take a small walk if you can. Or listen to relaxing sounds of the ocean or a stream flowing. Anything to calm you and make you feel peaceful. I understand life is not easy and we all struggle but do not give up and do not let the depression win. Best wishes to you. Remember God loves you very very much. He never promises we will not experience hard difficult heart breaking things but he does say he will be with us through it.
Hi, Vicky. I'm in your boat of being depressed your not alone. I have a lot of things going on with me I was diagnosed with cancer a couple months ago and I thought I was going to die' I have great group of people that are here for me. I'm so sorry about your son, I'm sure you will see him again, just remember they are always with you. That gives me piece dealing with my own obstacles. Keep your head up Vicky you are loved.
Hi. This was randomly recommended to me. Im in Australia. Im sorry for your loss. Please try and find joy in momemts each day. I know it's hard. Im 38, i lost my mum when i was 13, and I never met my dad. He was Lebanese. My sister died at 35. I had a very rough start to life, but I've managed to find the strength to push forward. The strength to do that is inside of you. You just have to reach out and grab it. I know it's lame to say, but there's so much to be grateful for. Wake up tomorrow, make yourself a hot drink, sit in the sun and feel it on your face. Remember your ancestors who came before you. Carry their strength with you. I'm now studying to become a doctor and it's the hardest thing ive ever been through. I carry the strength of my ancestors inside of me. I think about my ancestors in Lebanon and how strong the Lebanese people are and I remember that I owe it to them and myself to fight for a better life for myself and those around me. I believe in you, even if you don't believe in yourself. If you cant find the strength for yourself, you can borrow some of my ancestors to help anchor you.
Grief is hard , I lost my husband recently and felt the same way , but my faith tells me to stand up and know God loves me. Faith and depression have a hard time coexisting. You have purpose , and you are not worthless, you were created for a purpose. Dont wallow in the past , take a walk! Look at the beautiful sky and forget your mistakes, we cannot go backwards. Change your mind and change your life. You got this! We all have blessings be grateful.And talk to GOD . HE is the way out and will give you comfort.
No one's life is worthless. I have a depression and anxiety disorder. I have a little dog who needs me and loves me no matter what.❤
Awww..🐾💞🦋✨
God Bless you and your precious sweet innocent soul 🐶 Little Dog, who COMPLETELY
UNCONDITIONALLY LOVES YOU and NEEDS YOU and TOTALLY DEPENDS on YOU!!! Keep you and your Little Baby Dog SAFE & always bonded in togetherness of your LOVE and companionship gift from Christ Jesus. Amen. 🙏❤🐶🤗❤🙏

Many people have worthless life… a specially disabled people.. addicted people, criminals people..
I don't know why your video pooped up on my screen??? As a mother who lost my beautiful thirty five year old daughter suddenly nine years ago on 23rd of October and also my dads passing was the 20th October my heart goes out to you.. 🤍myself and my son have decided that my daughter, his sister would not want us spending our lives being miserable and in honour of her we always try to do what she would want for us... On the anniversary of her passing we always go out and have a meal and celebrate her life and the love we all shared.......please think that your son would be devastated that you go to bed because of your grief for him. 😢....Yes at times I suddenly feel momentarily overcome with grief and sadness maybe by listening to the words of a song or just by the longing to see her and hear her jokes and laughter but, I will not allow the grief to continue and make me depressed because I hear her words and know that would be the very last thing she'd want and I don't want to disappoint her wherever her soul now is .. I know I'm a strong person and have overcome much sadness in my life, I know we're all different, I do hope that something I've said here resonates and helps you to find the strength to be a happier person for your sake and for your beautiful son who maybe looking down on you in extreme sadness because his passing and whatever caused that has kept you trapped in mourning and grief and I'm so very sure that's not what he would've wanted.. much love to you 🤍🕊️🙏🏻
I'm almost 64 , I know exactly where you coming from, but life continues find a hobby like gardening pets maybe a support group for survivors.God is with you U are never alone.
When my wife died January 1,2012 I was so lonely and depressed. Even around family and friends I couldn’t escape the loss of my wife, the depression and loneliness so I poured my heart out to God. Jesus said he would send the comforter when he was resurrected to heaven. I found there is no comforter like the Holy Spirit. He truly is the mender of broken hearts.
@@danmooney6015 l so very appreciate your visit and kind words today. Please come back soon.
You are so right. And we have hope for the future.
Jesus said He will come and not leave you comfortless. John 14:18
Grief is difficult. Can't imagine losing a child. My bed is my safety place also. Depression is difficult. We all have regrets. Moving forward is all we can do. I am single in my late 60s. Holidays are difficult for myself also.

Thank you for visiting us.
@@ericfreshcorn3590thank you for visiting us.
I don't want to force my beliefs on you, but I spent 15 years waiting to die. I lost my only son 16 months ago. God somehow brought me out of the dark place, and now I value my life. Ironically I have been diagnosed with terminal cancer, but I now treasure my days..even my solitude. There is much peace to be found in God's hands.
@@kathy8013 so glad you are here today.
Amen……I’m so sorry you lost your son.
I got depressed watching this...I'm going to leave you with a word of encouragement. I too lost my only child to suicide at 16 1/2. There is no time limit on grief; that being said, the world keeps on spinning and turning whether we're in it or not. I choose to be in it. Every day I make the choice. I hope you can find a good therapist, friend, counselor, church or someone that can help you pull yourself out of misery.
... Thank you for your kind and honest and thoughtful words of encouragement .... The world does keep spinning even if we choose to reduce our participation . Your suggestion to choose participation is humble and accurate .
the problem was they were most likely medicated. the real issue nobody wants to talk about. god bless and sorry for your loss.

@youaresoft-ee4ubthank you.
Blessings to you.
Only Jesus. I hold on to Him alone, and many times I have to ask Him for help just to get groceries without crying. I remind myself that He is always with me, and will never forsake me. I also know that if I look at the black hole long enough, it will suck me in. I do know what a battle it is not to do that. May God give you His peace and love to get through.
Jesus said 'Come to me all who are weary and are heavily laden and I will give you rest. He is acquainted with grief and sorrows of every kind. That means there is someone who does understand the unexpressed (even secret) pain and emotions we are experiencing when we go through fiery trials and the deepest darkest valleys. We can lay every burden down before Him in prayer because He understands, He truly cares and can help us through it sometimes in the most unexpected of ways.
It is good that you are talking and sharing on here and I have subscribed.
I sincerely thank you. And hope you will visit again soon.
I live with regrets every day. I am 59, kids don't talk to me because their dad had an affair when we were married and after we divorced married her. She is alcoholic and brings drama every where she goes. I don't try to be the bad one , so maybe they will contact me before I die. I always wanted a big family but it didn't work out that way for me. I have dogs now, but just to have one Christmas where I here the word mom again would be so special.
If feels as I get older I have no friends or they passed away.
I don't see my grandkids.
So I understand.
Sad. So thankful for you visiting us.
I think of myself as a cat. A cat will go to dust when it dies, but it enjoys every day it's alive. It doesn't need other cats; it just enjoys being itself. That's me. All I need is to be alive. When I'm dead, I won't need that anymore. I hope you find a frame of mind to accept and enjoy your life. It's a frame of mind, and nothing else matters.
Do you need a litter box
Hi friend! Your video was randomly recommended to me, and I'm very glad it was. While I do not have children, I am able to empathize with your feelings of loneliness, depression, and hopelessness. I understand the feeling of wanting to shut everything out and lay in bed all day, it's a comforting feeling, but it's a very isolating feeling of comfort. I developed anorexia in high school and almost died multiple times from it. I felt so alone, isolated, and hopeless. I felt my life had no meaning and wanted to die. I say all this to show that there are others who are feeling this way, and they are more than happy to help you get through these hard times. If I may, I would like to offer some coping skills that help me and may help you.
When you're feeling disconnected, a method to ground yourself is holding a piece of ice. Focus on the feeling of it and allow it to center yourself.
Another mindfulness technique I use is aromatherapy. Grab a tea bag, a flower, really anything that has a scent that is pleasant to you. Smell it and try to focus on the scent and the feelings it brings up.
If you are able to, freeze a lemon or orange. Once it is frozen, rub it on areas of tension. This is a great method as it combines both the cold feeling and aromatherapy techniques.
Another technique is to sit in a chair with your knees at a 90 degree angle, bare feet on the floor, and your open palms on your thighs facing upwards. Allow yourself to do a body scan. Notice any areas of tension, any areas that feel uncomfortable.
These techniques help me a lot, especially when I'm extremely anxious or feel myself dissociating.
I am here for you and want to help you as much as I can. You are worthy of happiness. You deserve to feel comfortable, loved, and at peace.
I prefer morphine . lol lol
Thank you for the kind words. Its nice to know ppl understand. The things you mentioned will not work for me. I am under a dr care. I am on meds. But l handle my self in a different way. I have to talk to myself within my head or out loud like l am a seperate person to get my self going. It works for me. Thank you for being here to support my channel.
Great techniques .... Thank you 😊
Thank you for being brave enough to share.
I’m 54 all four children are grown and don’t seem to have any time for me.
I do the exact same thing.
I have treatment resistant major depressive disorder. And complex PTSD
I’m alone all the time no friends no family no car.
I no longer wish to be here. I feel my time here is done. I pray most nights to not wake up ❤
Hugs to you. I’m so sorry for the loss of your son. I simply can’t imagine that kind of pain.
I hear you and feel your pain. I have CPTSD too and Bipolar II. I'm 62. Can I be of help?
“I feel my time here is done”…Wow! Thought I was the only one thinking that. I can totally relate. 56, kids grown, and feel I’ve done pretty much what I came here to do so what’s the point in hanging around much longer. I know it’s not my call though so just waiting for God to call my number and trying to make the best of things until then. Try to stay busy gardening, reading, looking after my home and my pets, working…Anything to pass the time I guess. Thanks for sharing what you’re going through. Reading it made me feel not so alone. Blessings!
So sorry for your pain. I can relate. Blessings to you. Very glad that you have visited us today.
Thank you for visiting us.
So sad to hear this. You have a purpose. I am glad you have found my channel and visited us today. Come back soon.
I just found your channel. I’m so very sorry about your son. My heart goes out to you. This time of year is very hard for me too, very depressing for many reasons. I have some family but it’s dysfunctional and very hard at the holidays. Always look forward to January. Please hang in there honey.
@@Justbreathe1005 thank you for your visit and kind words.
Aging can be such a lonely isolating event. I'm in my 60's & I cannot emphasise enough how important it is to participate within society at this time. Whether it be a grief support group, volunteering to help others, a hobby interest group. You have a wealth of knowledge to teach & share. Don't waste it by staying within your grief. You have so much more living to do
@@fabiwilliams4644 l am very glad you stopped by for a visit today.
Milton Erickson (the psychiatrist & ‘father’ of modern hypnosis) suggested a v depressed housebound woman could do positive activity by sending violets she grew up people whose engagements, illnesses etc she read in the local paper. This was a game-changer for her. (The ‘Violet Queen of Milwaukee’). As comment above, hopefully you can reach out to others on-line or in your community..
I can't wait to checkout of society and be a hermit.
I. Lost. My first. Love. My soulmate of 27 years to. Cancer. Alexis my Daughter. Died at age 18. Mama. Died. 2018. My aunt uncle who live next door to my mom they died before then we were all very close my brother died in 2007. He was my only sibling. So I know about death and I know about depression but God got me through it and he could get you through it too you need to talk to him more if you’re not talking to him enough or talk not talking at all I know how easy it is not to but how rewarding it is when you do🌈🦋🕊️✝️🛐 never give up never give in keep fighting because this life is worth living✝️🛐🌈🦋🌈🕊️❤️❤️I’m age 62 you. Need not. Suffer. Your son is not suffering. They are in. Heaven. Happy as can be ❤❤❤❤❤❤🌈🦋🕊️

So glad to see you here. Come back soon.
I think it's very brave of you to share your struggles with depression and loneliness. This is a big step! It's nice to see so many people showing you support and compassion in the Comments. Sending you hope-filled hugs, from one dog-lover to another. 💞
Awww. So glad you stopped by.
People think happiness is big events and a lot of people and parties. Not true.
I find happiness taking my senior rescue dog for a stroll, then we go out for a taco - she enjoys looking through the drive-thru window at the fastfood workers - then we drive home as she hangs out the car window. Then later at home, I make us a fresh organic meal and she hops up and down in the kitchen while I cook.
I'm sorry about your son and mom.
2 minutes in and can already relate. And the title is why I clicked. I tend to shut down and spend days in bed as well. Thank you for sharing this 💜
Thank you for visiting us.
That is nonsense! Your life is not worthless. Nobody in this world was put here to just give up. Why wish for things in the past? Today is a new start and you can change the future. Get rid of the negative thoughts and change them with positivity. Small things are a blessing and don’t cost a penny! Take time to breathe in the fresh air, look up in the sky and enjoy the beauty. Have that cup of coffee. Pay attention to the smell, the bold flavour, join a group & meet up with them. Enjoy the company and know we all have struggles and we lean on each other. Sending you love ❤
You shouldn’t tell a depressed person that their feelings are nonsense. That’s the worst thing u can say. You obviously have never felt the agony that depression deals some of us, it is indescribable. Smelling coffee? Sorry. It doesn’t matter to a depressed person. Telling a depressed person to “get rid of the negative thoughts and replace with positive is downright cruel. Look up in the sky and see the beauty is laughable. I guarantee you post will make a depressed person worse. You’re as bad as those who tell us “just get over it”. We cannot do that or we would. Maybe you’ve been depressed before but not severely. U wouldn’t have said the offensive things u said. Do not reply to me. You need to think before you give “advice” to depressed people. I would not bother reading your reply.
@ ok, thanks 🙏
Sorry for your troubles. My son died in a ski accident at age 21 and I agree it’s hard to talk about . Fortunately I have other kids but still it’s the worst thing to have to carry through life as a mom.

I am age 68 and have lived alone for 18 years. My mother died last year, and I have no family left at all. Last night I watched the 1975 movie Airport with Charlton Heston and Karen Black, and had to pause the movie and cry a few times, because it gave me memories of back then. No one will ever call. I have 4 cars and a big house and just me. Luckily I dont drink at all and no one else should either. Holidays? I dont practice any holiday at all. I also dont miss get togethers, because get togethers disgust me because its about peoples drinking and men talking about foot ball and I hate football. What I miss is talking on the phone and just having a friend over. I make random videos here on YT and listen to music.
Thank you for visiting us. My life was greatly impacted by covid as well. I never have been a very social person. But l truly enjoy having my channel. I try to do a lot of things on it. But my main focus is frugal living. I'm always looking for a bargain or an idea l can share on my channel. I am glad you found my channel. And l hope we can become good friends here. Thank you for visiting us.
@@livinginthemoment1625 Me and covid? I ignored that ever since it started back around March of 2020. Life after that silliness started was same as life years earlier, so I sat back and let other people live in fear. I love my channel also. I make lots of videos telling people how to fix their cars and how to stop being scammed by auto repair. If everyone chooses to ignore me and treat me as though im dead, LOL, I may as well share my knowledges through video. Dear, for those times you lay in the dark and stare up at the ceiling? When this happens GET up and do something because youre already awake anyway, so why voluntarily lay there and agree to be tortured. If you knew me I would have you laughing. Last night when I kept taking breaks from that movie to cry, thats healthy and is a healthy cry. Jesus Christ will listen to you if people will stop the prayer redundant chanting and just talk to Jesus Christ out loud. But laying in the dark is agreeing to be tortured, so get up and dont cooperate with it
My mom says the same thing-no one ever calls. Same here, too. I've concluded that people are on their phones way too much-texting.
@@brendathompson4939 Actually people could get more done by sitting and talking to one another, than moving around and doing things all the time. Its talking and sharing that is communication, and without that no one can know one another. All the way back to when I was a teen my mom and dad never listened to me at all, but instead would just assume they know what I needed and should do, so actually even then I was alone and my parents never knew me at all
Don't worry. Just be happy. We have one another.
It's only me, I have noone. This time of year is the hardest time I have to get through. Starts around middle November and thru the new year. It's a time for family and I have none. It's hard and overwhelming.
You know hindsight is 20/20. Don't look back at what was, look forward to what can be. Do they have a Senior Center in your area? I live in a small town but we have one, I use to work there actually. They serve hot meals daily and if you don't have money you can eat free or they do home delivered meals. Hot meal delivered daily to your home. Do they have any of those services in your area?
Can you get out 2 or 3 days a week and walk? I do that daily and it has helped a lot. Met some of my neighbors and my dog loves it! Some days I just sit out in the sunshine, feels so good shining down of me. I journal also. I have a cheap spiral notebook from Dollar Tree and write everything that is on my mind...the good, the bad, and the ugly. I'm very truthful with me and how I feel. Something about writing it down helps me some. Guess just getting it all out. This time of year thru winter is hard, I know. I have to make me do things...sometimes I don't win but I feel better if I do try. I hope you feel better. Believe me when I say I know how you feel. Life is hard alone, that's a fact.
So do appreciate all you say. I journal as well. Have used our senior center. No free meals there though. I have lots of free time and plenty to do. Have to make myself do it as well. Glad you have visited me. Wont you visit again soon?
Hahahaha girl you don't need to be The Travel Channel, you don't need to live in a fancy house or have the latest of anything in order for me to enjoy watching your content. I enjoy your channel because you are down to earth. I wasn't looking for fancy but someone i could relate to.
Like what you wrote I feel same. Can't beat being yourself & honest. Wishing better times ahead for all ❤
Start a group you're not alone. Find a church or place where everyone can meet. Do things together. Go shopping, just for coffee, walks in the park. Lost many people during these two months and allot had birthdays during this month and Christmas. 19 yrs old and he hung himself. I have no advice, but hang on to the Lord, reach out to others. Life is hard sometimes. Prayers for you. Hugs.
I thank you so much. Glad you visited.
This year will be my first to be alone for the holidays. My husband passed away in June. Yes I do have my daughters but they have their own lives. Vicki, we all have regrets, and your right we can’t go back and change things. I do try and keep busy as much as I feel like it. Being outside does help some. Sunshine is good for depression!
Do you have anyplace that you could volunteer and be with people? Maybe that would help. Maybe get another part time job. You liked the last one. Stay blessed and keeping you in my prayers.🙏💕
Yes. I have been seeking a new job. God will bring the right one in time. November is my hardest time. But l am thankful that you visited us again.
@ Vicki, looks tall the views and likes on your video! All these people love and care about you! Some people suggested if you have or can join a church. Mine has helped me a lot. And I love being able to help in anyway I can . In January I volunteered to be one of the church cleaners. We are a very small church so this will give me a way to help. Stay blessed Vicki and be well.🙏❤️
God loves you and your not alone 🌹🙏🇺🇲
Hi sweetie, ❤ New viewer here, I just saw your channel, let me tell you this: Get up and get going with life!!! As long as you are breathing means you have a chance to reinvent yourself and take control of what you can to make it worth living!! Nothing worse than one day on your dying bed regretting not trying your best when you had time!!! Basically you are throwing it all away just lying in bed allowing depression stealing your precious TIME!!! You have more than many people! You have a good mind, able body! You have intelligent to create a RUclips channel with followers! You drive, you don’t have a diagnose of cancer etc!!! You still have a life!! Food, Fresh water, warm bed to sleep in!!! You have lots!!! Think about it…. So, put it together and live!!! ❤
Thank you for visiting us.
This is the first time I have seen your video...want to thank you....I lost my son ....he was 39...I understand completely how you feel....I dont want to at all sound like I am being pushy... but my strength every minute of the day comes from the Lord...I couldn't bear this without him and his comfort....and the hope I have is that I will see him again when I get to heaven. Oh the joy I will feel..I dont know if you realize but you help many...thank you❤
Thank you for stopping by.
Omg, do I know how u feel. Depression is one tough enemy. People think u should just shake it off, but it’s impossible, don’t they know we WOULD if we COULD. PLEASE stop looking back. It makes everything worse. It is such a difficult journey. Yes, I’ve laid in bed for days. No shower for 2 months, hair not washed. Utterly overwhelming to even THINK about getting up. I got help and it took a while, but I got alot better. Please don’t give up, if I can get better so can u, God Bless You, I feel your every word. Your son was killed? Dear God. Let yourself grieve. Oh, my I am so so very sorry. Please know that I, a total stranger thinks about you and I will be praying for you sweet lady❤
@@almaconnor9171 the beginning of your comment touched my spirit. I am so very like that as well. It is a job just to make myself do what needs to be. I appreciate you watching my channel. Please come back soon.
@ I absolutely do read your channel. My heart truly goes out to you. I know that kind of suffering. And I can tell you that you CAN get better. The first thing my therapist told me is this: no matter how u feel, u MUST get up and move. Even for a few minutes at a time. Build on that. Just KEEP doing it. It was torture in the beginning, it took a while until it wasn’t so bad. I kept at it and kept at it. Our minds respond positively to bodily movement. I started cleaning up. That in itself is a great help. Are u a worrier? If so, ask yourself this question when u start fixating on something….”do I REALLY need to worry about this right now”. What would happen if I didn’t? I use this all the time. The answer is usually NO. I do not NEED to worry about it. Give yourself permission not to worry. I usually forget what it was I was so worried about. Try that. I’m going to go back and read your posts. Maybe I can understand you better and if I can I will tell u what helps me. I will pray for you. Please hang in there. I’ll be around, I promise.
I don’t know you but you don’t need to be sorry for things out of your control. You are beautiful and deserve nothing but peace and love
Thank you for being here. Come back again.
Your doggies in the pictures on the wall are adorable 😍.I bet they love you so much! ❤ I just subscribed to your channel. 😀✌️
I understand. Lots of hugs. ♥
I can’t imagine what you are going through 💔. My wife passed away on August 11th 2024. We were married for 50 years on August 10th 1974. This is for all of us that have been facing grief may one day we can find some peace.💔💔🙏
🫂🙏🕊
Thank you. Glad you stopped by.
@@janettesessarago4690thank you.
Stay brave stay strong. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Sending love from Liverpool England x
You will meet your son again in heaven. God is near to the broken hearted. Sending prayers and love from Minnesota.
Thank you for visiting us.
You know, I bet if all people were really honest, they'd admit to being depressed more than we think. MY problem is 2-fold. I get depressed AND have severe high anxiety. I never was fortunate to even give birth to a child...and that has ALWAYS been severely depressing to me. We lost our only chance at having even one child when I lost our sweet Victoria in my tummy at the beginning of my 6th month. It tore us apart and we divorced after having been married 28.5 years. Starting out at age 48, with never having worked, was so darned hard. I will keep you in my prayers, Vicky. I have those days where I, too, don't get out of bed. I stay up all night and go to bed just before the sun comes up. I HAVE to sometimes stay up when it's dark, and sleep during the light of day. Go figure. Being 76 and feeling like I'm closer to heaven every birthday, doesn't help either. I think I have too many hobbies that I just never get to do that doesn't help my depression. God bless you, sweetie.
I can relate. That is exactly how l am. Peace. I am basically a happy person. Just this month. I have mild depression. So most of the time l am ok. But being alone gives me pkenty of time to dwell on my past mistakes. Thank you for visiting us.
Glad to know that I'm not the only person who stays up until 6 am, then beat myself up for totally wasting the day...
@@avalondreaming1433 you are not alone. Its me as well. Thank you for the view.
i think the best thing to do on holidays is volunteer somewhere to help homeless people or physically and mentally challenged people. There are so many out there to volunteer to. I don't like the holidays with my extended family members, no one really gets along that well. Money and status and relationship issues....some have a lot of money and rub it in. Not nice. I spend time with my daughter, twice divorced. She has a disabled child. If i did not have them---i would volunteer especially at Thanksgiving, giving out food. They need me now, sometimes the holidays are very difficult for them, so i like to be there for them.
@@Jendromeda oh most definitely. People can be much friendly at holiday. Thank you for visiting us.
I’m so sorry you are sad and depressed and so sorry for the loss of your son. May God bring peace and hope and love to you this time of the year! 16:52 ❤Blessings to you my friend! ❤️🙏🙏🙏🎄
Thank you for visiting us.
Thank you so much for telling it like it is...The holidays are extremely hard for single people.I am almost seventy and I never dreamed I would be all alone.Thank the good Lord for pets which help fill the loneliness, but nothing really helps for long.Prayer is a wonderful blessing because the Lord truly sees our pain and understands Lean on him he loves you and will never leave you.Sending a BIG HUG your way...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
I thank you. Visit us again.
Ok, you cant go back, but the knowledge that you have brought forward is immense, and it will not be forgotten. Celebrate what you have done even if not recognized by family o friends. Get up if you can and realize that you are wonderful.
I thank you. Glad you visited us...
You are very relatable. So many folks suffering. Great to hear you are improving your channel and have plans for success!
Thank you . please visit soon.
This video just so happened to show up for me to watch. I'm so glad I got to watch it. I suffer from anxiety and depression, too. I just recently was diagnosed with PTSD and bipolar on top of everything else, as well. I know what you are going through, at least to some extent. Honey, try to keep your head up. Find a counselor. It'll help.
Thank you
So glad to hear I'm not alone
I am really old too. I was doing great until Tuesday, the 5th of November. I landed in a big, stupid hole and I don't know how to crawl out. I will figure it out. But, I really feel bad for this woman. I hope she can find a way out.
Thank you for supporting my channel. Come back soon.
To all, NEVER REGRET the mistakes youve made, they cannot be undone, learn from them and then do better. Thats the lesson. Regret is wasteful because you cannot be in the present when youre entertaining it. Life is a journey for us all. We were born and he we are. Its not really a race. Holidays are hard. Expectations arent met. We dont get a do-over. But each person has done at least 1 thing, (in reality thousands) for another human that helped them in some struggle that may habe made the entire difference for that person. A giant chain of small interactions. So very sorry for your loss. Your X husband was a real coward.
Very true. I am glad you are here.
Bless your heart, you're not alone! I lost a 10 mo old son that had been sick all of his life, and he would've been 40 on 9/26. I just finished Chemo for breast cancer, after being in remission for 13 years, am recovering from surgery and with Radiation coming soon. I'm having to go thru all of this with no contact from my 2 adult sons because their girlfriends are so jealous and obviously threatened by me, as sick as that is! There was never any reason for this, I never did anything to deserve this, but now I wouldn't have anything to do with those women due to this pain, Ever! I had always heard that some families had issues like this, but never could've imagined it affecting my family! The closeness that I've had with my sons and now don't even hear from them has been going on almost 15 mos. I was diagnosed last Feb and my oldest would pick me up from a procedure on a rare occasion, but he supposedly even forgot to pick me up after my Oct 1 surgery. I haven't seen the other 1, in 15 months. I didn't mean to ramble, I just want you to remember that "if you can acknowledge it you're over halfway there", is a motto that I've tried to live by, for a long time. You're not alone, many of us know that we're good people, but the devil is alive and well, so we need to fight him at every turn, to have the life that we know we deserve. Finding you tonight is what I was supposed to do, bc it's been a very hard week. Oftentimes, getting outside of ourselves and helping others can provide more clarity, to help us be what we want and what we know God wants us to be! Keeping you in my prayers, dear friend!🙏❤🙏
Hi. Stay strong & fight your illness. Focus on you. I have two daughters & grandchildren I never see. Life is very tough; We have had a terrible year ! Big hugs ❤from Uk xxxxx
Sad. I too am a cancer survivor. 7 weeks of radiation after surgery. Life goes on it seems. Dying is part of living. That l know. So glad you stopped by.
@@lisaj3474hang tight.
Stay Strong you have done ur best ,I have 2 sons 1 disabled ,and 1 who never phones or cares ,yes it hurts take care , Uk
This acc made me tear up, I don’t really know what to say this but you’re amazing do not give up💜
I want to thank you for visiting us...
I lost my mom to Dementia while I was her sole hospice caregiver...my dad unexpectedly during a 'simple' medical procedure and my 2 dogs (my children) back to back to Cancer. I would never presume to tell any anyone I know how you feel; but I empathize with you tremendously. I have no family left and struggle on a daily basis to understand why I'm still here (yes, I have a therapist). Sending love and virtual hugs to you.
@@NanM-e4d so glad you are here today. Please visit again soon.
You have courage to talk to everyone openly and it will help others, it brings us all closer to each other x
So glad you stopped by.
@@pamelafrancis4476 yes! She is strong in that she is able to openly share her true feelings with others. Not everyone is able to do that. Myself, would never be able to do that. In my family we were taught to keep everything stuffed inside. They (parents) didn't want to hear it.
@@BarbaraEvans-ku8dx thank you for visiting us
Oohh please, don't judge yourself so hard.
You are very kind, honest and sincere.
I feel for you, losing your son. It is very hard.
But you are not alone, you have all of us, caring for you and listening to your interesting story.
And you are a great story teller.
We celebrate holidays here together ❤❤❤❤
Take care and love to see your next video ❤❤❤❤❤
I know the feeling of grief and loneliness of sadness I too have to walk into a empty house after going to someone's for Thanksgiving or Christmas is very sad I can relate to your feelings and the depression my heart goes out to you
I thank you. Please visit us again soon.
Life sounds like mine. I lost my youngest son at seven years old. My other son has a daughter that i was very much involved with until she grewup and went her own way with everyone. Nobody talks to her. She has two sons i never ever met. They're four and five. Im sure I'll never meet them. So lost my son granddaughter and great grandsons. Yes my parents have passed away. It was way easier to accept the loss of parents as that is the natural order of life. You are not supposed to lose your children ever. My parents were great so there is no disrespect here. My best friend got killed in front of me and other trauma in life. Lots of medical issues and two pain disorders. I live with a very good man and still have my other son although he lives very far away and i have not seen him in three years. He has a beautiful wife that I talk to every day. I own my own condo. And that's life
And so life goes. Dying is a part of living. I do get that. But still. Thank you for stopping by.
Hugs sent to you. You are not alone. I am 45 years old i feel the same way. You are here sharing your story and that helps
I don't think you are making others depressed, just sharing your experiences. I'm 45 years old and a loner myself. The most significant people in my life passed away, they were my mom and my granny. I didn't marry or had kids. I don't feel depressed, but I cry constantly because I miss them. I talk to them in my mind and sometimes loud. I like to watch other people life's experience. I don't know if it's too personal, but I 'd love to hear more about your divorce. How old were you? How long have you been married? Did your child had already moved out home? Did you meet your ex-husband again? Do you know if he left you for another woman? How did you cope? Anything you want to share, it's a very impactant situation. I wish you all the best 💕.
I would love to share more. Could we do it in an email perhaps? Thank you for visiting us...
im from saudi arbia i like your video , im 36 now ,and i do not know how it will end up for me . i watch old people just learn what should i do to gain safaty. you live your life once as you said , but there nothing in my hand to change things
@@MohammedAlthyaybi thank you for the visit...
"Come to Me all you who labor & are heavy laden & I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you & learn of Me, for I am meek & lowly of heart, then you will find rest unto your soul. For My yoke is easy & My burden is light." Truly.. 'He restores my Soul." So sad to hear of your deep pain! You are in my thoughts & Prayers! God's blessings to you!
Hi Vicky. I saw other people call you by that name. I first want to say that as one who has lived with depression for 50 years, I can empathize with that. I know that having lost your dear son is a grief that won't go away. Maybe that is all I should say is that I understand how you feel although it is you who feel and no one can feel what you are going through like you. When I was 19 I was forced to drop out of college with a severe mental breakdown. I was ready to end my life, but in the midst of all this darkness, I became aware of a presence drawing me to Jesus. I didn't find Jesus. He found me and He drew me. Finally I was convinced that there was a God and He has a Son and I finally came. Now the mental strain I went through somehow damaged my brain. While I am much better, I still live with this and other health issues. I learned that God is not only Lord of the mountain tops, He is Lord of the valleys too. I met the Lord in the valley and because what I have gone through as a consequence of my illness, I know the Lord in a deeper and more personal way than have most. I don't have all the answers but I know that Jesus is One who will never leave you or abandon you. He said to His disciples, "I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to you" (John 14). There are friends who say they are friends, "but there is a Friend who sticks closer than a brother" (Proverbs). His name is Jesus. I recommend that you find someone you can confide in if you can rather than suffer isolation. People are relational beings. We do need interaction with others. My prayers are with you and I encourage you to perhaps pray and be honest with the Lord. Its my hope that as you do, He also will draw you as He has me. Ted
I am a single divorced lady. I set my alarm every day to get up early. Write down some chores to do the night before. The pain and dissapointments will always be with us but we need to find ways to get through it not being so hard on ourself. Be thankful for God being there for you and trust Him and not humans. They will always disappoint us. Holidays I don't celebrate like Christmas and all those manmade stuff anyways.
My God, I can relate too, too much to this video. I think they call it rumination when you are stuck in dark and negative thought loops. And anhedonia when nothing brings you pleasure anymore. All part of major, clinical depression. It is so, so awful and I'm sorry to hear you're struggling through this.
My Condolences on Your love One's passing.❤
The Joy of the LORD is our Strength.❤️🌏🙏📖💯💐
I'm so sorry that you're feeling so down! Please know that there are people here that care about you, even though we would normally be called "strangers." Please know that your life is not "worthless." You are a child of God! I hope you will feel happier soon. Take care.
You all get out there and get involved … so many other lonely people out there … volunteering is a great way to meet people
Vicki, I feel so bad for you and I can totally relate to depression. Everyone thinks we all should live "Hallmark" lives-everyone is pretty, successful and has a lot of friends. In truth this is not reality-a lot people struggle to get through each day. Take care of yourself and the girls! I am praying for you. 🥲🙏❤
Thank you for watching. Your support of my channel means a bunch to my heart. Visit again soon. And Blessings to you..
I'm 62 never married and my complicated grief since 2010 and my complicated relationship with mom just passed. I make myself go to church, rosary and prayer class. Yesterday I couldn't make a prayer class fatigued and depressed. Watch Pastor Rick and try to walk 20 min every day in a safe place. Or sit outside. God bless you and all of us with similar circumstances. 🙏
watch bishop bronner and pastor Phillip mitchell
My mother died in October, my Father committed suicide in November and my Ex took my 3 week old daughter and left me at the end of October. So yes, tough time of year for many of us, but it never really goes away. I put faith and trust in God now to bring my love and light and he does provide. He brings the animals, he has brought a friend, and he provides for me.
I don’t know why your video popped up on my feed. We have something in common in that we both had an only child who died young. Mine died suddenly in 2020 when he was 22 and what followed were desperate times. I still think about him every day with lots of what ifs. I remember a good analogy on grief I heard. It involved imagining that grief is a rubber ball squeezed into a jar. At first there is no room for anything else but that suffocating grief, but every time you do something positive, even when you have to force yourself the jar grows a little bit bigger. Eventually while the grief hasn’t gotten less, you find it easier to carry. I found this to be true and have built a new life (it is impossible to carry on with the old one when a nuclear bomb just laid waste to all of it). There are many people out in the world suffering And lonely too who you would be valuable ally for, so think about getting out there bit by bit. We all need purpose and we are all needed … by someone. My only other advice is check basic things like vitamin D level. There’s a definite correlation with chronic depression. I wish you well and hope to see more videos about your progress.
I'm sorry for your loss and sadness 💔
I appreciate that. Thank you for visiting us.
Your channel just showed up in my recommended… Right now and this is the first video I clicked on and I’m just a couple of minutes in and I want to tell you something… Your life is not over. As long as you have breath in your chest you have opportunity to do better and be better. I know that this life is difficult and at the end of the day we will all end up alone… It is OK to just enjoy being with yourself. I know that grief is hard and overwhelming and depression can be tough to fight… But you can do it you can overcome and your book has not been written yet there are still pages to go so make them great!!!
Thank you so much for watching. This month is hard. But l usually have better days. My depression is mild. And not every day is like these. I am so fortunate to have people like you to encourage me.
Wrapping my arms around you! Loss is incredibly difficult! Hold tight tomorrow needs you! I’ve been there! Inch by inch! If you just breathe that is enough! Kindness towards yourself!
Thank you for the video. I was feeling very sad this morning. Im on my own with a disabled child. Somedays you ask God why some are so blessed and others not. You made me feel not so alone this morning. Thank you so much.❤❤

I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your son. May he rest in Peace. how sad that you cannot see his children...that breaks my heart for you. God bless you.
Thank you for being here. Come again soon.
I definitely know all about depression and anxiety. I can’t do what I use to because of COPD and lymph nodes removed because of cervical cancer. You are such a sweet lady. I am so sorry about your son. This last year my daughter has been struggling with horrible mental issues. My brother just found out he has cancer . It broke his hip. I cry a lot. I do have a husband and he is so great and understanding. He is my second husband my first one died. I also am trying to get those watch hours. I to need to do more videos. My prayers are with you Hugs
HI Vicki, may I say that there is no one living on this planet who doesn't have some kind of regret if they're honest because none of us is perfect and life doesn't come with a handbook. You did the best you could with what you knew at the time and that is good enough please don't beat yourself up. I'm so sorry that you lost your son and I just want to say that you are not alone in your grief or your depression. Remember to just breathe and take one day at a time, give yourself grace and above all know that you are worthwhile and that you do matter. Sending you my sincere wishes for a brighter tomorrow.
You know, I was just praying to God to take me from this world. I am so tired of it. I see I am not alone. May your heart know comfort and peace again . I lost my Dad to cancer 2 years ago. And then I knew love for the first time , only for it to be taken. What is a life without love? It would have been better not to know. It’s the deeply sensitive souls that suffer the most.
Good Morning Vicki..
Your video popped up across my feed, and somehow, I felt compelled to watch. I just want to say I'm terribly sorry to hear of all the trauma and loss you've experienced in your life, especially that of your son. As a mother of a 35 yr old son (my only child), I can't even imagine the pain and grief you feel. That being said, during the course of my life(63 yrs old), I have experienced severe traumas, loss, depression, and chronic health/ pain issues and was on the brink of losing my life for 3 years before and during the pandemic. Somehow, by the Grace of God and the prayers 🙏 of many here on Earth and in Heaven I am here to tell the tale. While I am presently wheelchair avd housebound, I am greatful to be alive and hope to continue to heal and rehabilitate. I have faith that if I can come out of the other side, you can as well. First and foremost you must forgive yourself and practice self love. It would also be beneficial to take your focus off yourself and volunteer your time in to help others in need. Please take care and try to give thanks for one blessing in your life each day. I will be keeping you in thought and prayer 🙏. Sending love ❤️ and hugs 🫂 your way.
Thank you for your caring heart. Please visit us again.
We need to look forward to our baby dogs and the friends that you’re making here we could be penpals
So good to hear from you again.
Lonely is just that negative "thought spiral" of depression. I, e.g., am always alone, but almost never feel lonely ever! And pondering about anythung that you did or that happened in the past is a sure path to depression, too. Try thinking about the things you CAN do now and not about the things you did or someone else did to you in the PAST! :-) You can never change the past but you can to various degrees change or alter things in your presnet and future!
Thank you for sharing your heart. You are a safe space for so many of us. I'm 69, never married, and trying to learn how to support myself with my art work and anything else I can do in spite of certain chronic pain issues that make it hard for me to stay on my feet for very long. This is an interesting time, because I've always tried to see every life experience as an adventure, even those slow, lonely and heavy times. I love the title of your channel! May you be blessed with peace, good fortune and better days ahead. 💖🌼🌿
Thank you for supporting my channel. Come back soon.
Hi Vicky, depression is very real, i know, don't feel bad about staying in bed all day if that's what you want to do, lot's of love. X
My son was murdered in Feb 2015 he was 25 it is very very hard nobody wants me to talk about it thinks I should be over it my life is different me before Justin's death and me after Justin's death I'm so sorry you have to go through this sorry for everyone who's going through this.....God Bless you all....
Nobody really understand this unless it happens to them. Thank you for caring and visiting us..
I have no family alive anymore. My brother died and no one told me. I miss him so much.
My 5 weeks of what I call my emotional #RoundingCapeHorn is starting in a few weeks with the holiday period. Tonight, 6 and a half years ago, I lost my husband and best friend of 31 years. I've lost 7 relatives, including my mother died also 3.5 yrs ago.
I've not any children but I lost 2 cats who my husband and I considered our fur-babies.
I hear you and see you. I'm so sorry that you are going through this difficult period. Give yourself extra self-care during this time; you deserve it.
RUclips just suggested this for me. Im in the UK november feels so dark. I too been spending time in bed till at least 2pm. Got up today at 2.45pm, told myself this is ridiculous. So watched a youtuber, walking and raising money for Movember Mens prostate and testicular cancer. So I put my hat, gloves, coat, trainers on. Bumped into a friend met doggies. Chatted got a hug.
Im in alcohol recovery again day 2. I lost a friend to suicide year last August. So sad.
Stick with up lovely lady, dont even know your name.
But your important to me ❤❤❤
Finally some depressed people to relate to lol. Well I been working on myself, nutrition, going to some online recovery meetings too, doing walking at parks. I'm alone a lot by force. Prayer in my room really helps and fixing it up in there to just be cozy and healing. Losing a son now that's a reason to be depressed as that's the worst pain. Your son wouldn't want you to still be so hurt but to find some peace for him and you. Live well for him he would like this i think. I know couples who are miserable lol so I feel alone but it could be worse dealing with a relationship these days. Maybe I hit the gym tomorrow. You got plan find things hobbies to do. I sat next to this gal at a meeting once and she moved away to another chair and said to everyone that she can't be near depressed persons wth. I can't imagine ever treating someone like that. It was mind blowing and I can't even process it in my thoughts. Hang in there everybody, If no one told you they care well I do.
A big thank you! Please visit again.
I lost my only son in July of 2020......i have no family not many friends......i am lonely and very sad as well.......i wish i lived closer to you we could be good friends
Practice acceptance and self love. You can do this with self respect and love. We all make mistakes, I have made so many , I am human and fallible. To be alive is to make mistakes. Love to you from Wales.
I am a new subscriber and watched your tea Tuesday after I watched this video. On your tea Tuesday you mentioned about giving a friend who has six children food and I would like to suggest that you help that person with one or two of her children for an hour or two and think it will help her out and also help you. Also take your little dogs for a walk everyday. Exercise in nature is such an uplifting feeling. I think helping others is also a great way to make yourself feel better and I know the woman with six children will really appreciate you giving her a break in her very busy life. Also please don’t ask her if she wants help, I learnt that people will say no but they do not mean it. If you say I would love to give you a break for yourself, I can give you two hours on whatever day is good for you. Please just try to think how you can help someone once a week, or volunteer in a dog shelter for an hour, once a week. Also go to the library and get a good book to read or a book you can listen to on whatever you enjoy.and will bring a smile to your heart. Just remember you are what your thoughts are. So sorry for all your loses, and your bad x husband. It does no good thinking of it over and over. Do not let those bad thoughts make you sad, let them make you mad and say screw him, and hope he is having an unhappy life. Also love your pets, I love my dog and constantly tell him every day how much joy and how much I love him. There are many things in life, that God has given us called nature, that are beautiful. You can change your thoughts and I would ask God to help you and He will. Trust me, you can take one day at a time. Also writing down two things everyday that you are thankful for will help. Be thankful you can still take care of yourself, can hug your precious pets, love how sunshine makes you feel. Be thankful for your friend that sent you what you needed, in the mail. I hope my suggestions have helped you realize that you can feel better, by just changing your thoughts. Please let me know, and May Gods bless you in days ahead.🙏🏼💕
I want to thank you so very much for your kind words. I am so happy to know that people really do care about me. Your support of my channel means the world to me. Visit again soon..
This is the first time I have clicked on your channel. Depression is very hard. Also Grief is hard. Also in Depression you mind clings to things that are hurtful often. I have struggle with Depression and Anxiety . I just know that if it was not for my personal relationship with Jesus I am not sure where I would be today. I am sure it is hard to live alone . I assume you are living alone. Do you have any pets? Pets are a great comfort. You need them and they need you. I just want you to know there is hope in Jesus. , He loves you very much and he understands your depression and grief but he also does not like to see you depressed or sad or hopeless. Each day take baby steps to try to get out of bed. Get up and do something and then you can lay down a tad and get up again. Maybe take a small walk if you can. Or listen to relaxing sounds of the ocean or a stream flowing. Anything to calm you and make you feel peaceful. I understand life is not easy and we all struggle but do not give up and do not let the depression win. Best wishes to you. Remember God loves you very very much. He never promises we will not experience hard difficult heart breaking things but he does say he will be with us through it.
sending you much love from France...An abandoned cat found me in March...he's my saviour...God bless you :)
Hi, Vicky. I'm in your boat of being depressed your not alone. I have a lot of things going on with me I was diagnosed with cancer a couple months ago and I thought I was going to die' I have great group of people that are here for me. I'm so sorry about your son, I'm sure you will see him again, just remember they are always with you. That gives me piece dealing with my own obstacles. Keep your head up Vicky you are loved.
Hi. This was randomly recommended to me. Im in Australia. Im sorry for your loss. Please try and find joy in momemts each day. I know it's hard. Im 38, i lost my mum when i was 13, and I never met my dad. He was Lebanese. My sister died at 35. I had a very rough start to life, but I've managed to find the strength to push forward. The strength to do that is inside of you. You just have to reach out and grab it. I know it's lame to say, but there's so much to be grateful for. Wake up tomorrow, make yourself a hot drink, sit in the sun and feel it on your face. Remember your ancestors who came before you. Carry their strength with you. I'm now studying to become a doctor and it's the hardest thing ive ever been through. I carry the strength of my ancestors inside of me. I think about my ancestors in Lebanon and how strong the Lebanese people are and I remember that I owe it to them and myself to fight for a better life for myself and those around me. I believe in you, even if you don't believe in yourself. If you cant find the strength for yourself, you can borrow some of my ancestors to help anchor you.
Grief is hard , I lost my husband recently and felt the same way , but my faith tells me to stand up and know God loves me. Faith and depression have a hard time coexisting. You have purpose , and you are not worthless, you were created for a purpose. Dont wallow in the past , take a walk! Look at the beautiful sky and forget your mistakes, we cannot go backwards. Change your mind and change your life. You got this! We all have blessings be grateful.And talk to GOD . HE is the way out and will give you comfort.
Thank you for visiting us.
keep your head up , you got this
