Totally understandable. I’ve also always hated the saying “What doesn’t break you, makes you stronger.” A small inside voice always responded. “But sometimes it just breaks you.” It seems that brokenness was more accepted in the past - “He died of a broken heart” or “She was never the same after that.” Now it’s almost not permitted, no matter the blow. That insistence on finding or feigning recovery seems almost equally tragic & cruel.
This is tough. As a mother I would want to die too if I lost my son. But as a daughter to parents who lost two children, one to a brain tumor at 9 & another to a car accident at 17, I would have been very angry if they took to their bed. I believe they were both raised with a faith that got them thru & a work ethic that made them get up and take care of us every day. Whether they wanted to or not. ❤️🙏🏻
It never ceases to amaze me that a powerful message will reach me when I most need to hear it. Thank you Ms. Cervantes for sharing your grief process. I felt this to my core. There is no "proper" way to grieve. There is no timeline on grief. Everyone's experience is different, and every experience is proper.
Beautifully said, both of you! Thank you for your comment! I wish you the very best life has to offer, and also strength, to you and everyone you love 😌
Only 5 comments as I write this, 2 are beautiful, 1 is a heart. 2 are grieving for trump. She mentioned Biden saying, "to heal , we must remember". Biden is feeling grief for lost members of his family. Trump is feeling sorry for himself and the loss of his stolen money.
Weird just because they mentioned Biden, MAGA has to counter it with something about Trump, someone that knows nothing about grief of losing a lost one because he only cares about himself and his ego. This was a great segment; nice to see something not involving politics (even though it still sparked political comments, lol).
Its a total bs myth of our society that you "recover" from grief. No one "recovers" from the loss of a child... especially those senselessly loss to gun violence. You simply learn to exist until peace through your own death arrives.
They’re still with us as long as we keep them in our hearts.

Sharing grief lessens the pain of loss, sharing joy increases the kindness of community; Reminding us to remember the glory in love.
Love this vid. Lost my dad not long ago, so many good points.
That poor woman. My heart breaks for her 😢

Highly recommend Grief recovery method
Some types of grief you don't want to heal from because if you do you set yourself up for future pain and guilibility.
❤❤❤
Reminds me of America trying to heal from an illegitimate president who didn’t actually win the election.
Well black voters are leaving the democrats, so they're trying to leave 50 years of grief.
Are you prepping for the next Trump presidency ?
Hillary and her cultists clearly have more mental illness to contend with as they are too narcissistic to believe President Trump won in 2016.
We love you, President Trump
