Lost my Dad Monday. I needed this today as I go home.
So sorry to hear that, Livvie!
I am sorry for your Loss. Remember to eat n drink water to care for your body. Remember you are stronger than you know and However you choose to grieve you are allowed to. Every one grieves differently. Be Kind To Yourself!
I'm sorry for your loss. 😔
I know your pain.😢
I lost my Dad on Father's Day 2017 from a heart attack 💔
I will keep you in my prayers 🙏.
Take care of yourself and your family. ❤
livviewashington6011 I'm really sorry for your loss and the pain you're going through. May he forever rest in peace! 🫂
It's been 21/22 years respectfully at the loss of my parents, I don't think I will fully get over their passing, I accept it, and the pain has dulled, but the longing to speak with them will always remain.
I have conversions with those I've lost all the time. I know it's my imagination dictating what they'd say, but it's therapeutic and for me, it preserves memories, if not making new ones in their absence based on my life's interactions with them. I have no illusions there's any reality to it, but it helps with grief.
@@yakgelderIt really is. Talking or writing can be therapeutic. I wasn’t a believer until I tried it.
I lost my mother at 10 and father at 19 and my favorite aunt at 7. My grandparents at 26 and 28 and they were who raised me. I lost everyone very early I am now 34 and I yearn to talk to everyone every day. You never stop missing them your day just becomes more normal not seeing them. It becomes more normal over time and helps to understand that grief is just love with nowhere to go.
My Dad passed away in May. Hearing this is helpful, and I'm glad you're still with us Christopher.
I never knew how much Stacy Keach looked like your dad until I saw the thumbnail and it's kinda blowing my mind right now.
Swear I was thinking the same thing as I read this comment lol
@@shindarkchild - Been waiting for my Hubs to come in from the yard, just to show him the thumbnail (he's working on our backyard pond, and there's mud/dirt *everywhere).*
I remember seeing a picture of him at the end of the Norman Rockwell special with Titus' biological mom and a later on picture of his dad and that was when it dawned on me that Stacy Keach was perfect to play his dad.
And apparently Keech even had the Papa Titus attitude perfectly too.
Everything you said is SO freakin' true. And for some reason, when you try to explain it to someone, the whole thing is just seems to be beyond their comprehension.... unless they've been there. Thanks for the reminder.
My mom passed April of last year and this is so true!! Forgiving or "getting clean" with your parents or anyone that you love is important even if you don't get the same thing in return. You can only control your personal actions and move from there. Thank you for sharing this.
This is one of the most insightful episodes you have done. I had a poor relationship with my dad. I never did make him know I loved him despite our differences. I think he knew, but I should have made sure he knew.
This hit me pretty hard the first time I heard this. When I was still married to my first wife, my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. We spent Mother’s Day with my parents and my brothers and the kids. We went out to lunch and then went back to the house. We’re getting ready to leave and I wanted to go give my dad a hug. I just had a bad feeling about the chemotherapy he was about to go into the hospital for. My future ex was nagging me to leave because some thing with our daughter, blah blah blah and I said I just need a minute with my dad, and she gave me the stink eye and I stupidly left without giving my dad a big hug. And my dad was a great hugger. And the whole ride home. I was pissed off that I let her talk me out of an extra minute with my dad. A few days later, I was awakened by an early morning phone call from my older brother; My dad had a heart attack from the chemotherapy and was gone. One of my big regrets. There are a few, but that’s right up there.
I was in 2 of those Covid VIP Zoom calls, and I remember Jeff. He was a hell of a nice guy. I'm sorry to hear he passed.
Thank you for this real life " comedy show"
I’m the only child. And I was blessed. My parents and I were very close too each other. My dad passed away first and then my mother passed away and everything fell on me. My dad had Parkinson disease my mother and I took care of him. My mother had a stroke and I had too do everything for her down to the cooking , changing her, washing her washing clothes. Everything when she passed at 90 years old it was hard at first but I made it through. I think God for his help and strength.
I can totally relate, I'm the same age as my father was when he passed.....
My father died almost 20 years ago and nobody misses him. He was a miserable human being and treated his family like trash. I'm the only child and even I didn't go to the funeral. my only regret was not being there at the end to ask if hell was warm enough
I feel this. I wanted to take a swing at my father for years of lying and abandonment as well. He died before I got the chance.
When I preordered the Collectors Edition of the video game “Batman: Arkham Knight”, it came with a plastic statue about two feet high of Batman standing over Gotham City. On Friday May 22, 2020, my sister was over to my house with my two nephews. As she was about to leave, she asked me about that statue. Where did I get it, things like that. I told her about it and then she left. Two days later, on Sunday May 24, at about 8:00 am, I got a phone call telling me that my sister had suddenly died. Now every time I see that Batman statue, I’m always reminded about how that exact thing was the subject of the last conversation I had with my sister.
I don’t know if that has anything to do with the topic of this video, but with all the stories that other commentators are leaving about loved ones who have passed, I just felt like it was appropriate to share this one.
Didn't find my dad and meet him til I was 44. He's probably circling the drain health wise now, and I'm sadder about Papa Titus, who I knew better and for years through CTs comedy. ❤
my dad was killed the day before my 30th B-day. I had to call my brothers and tell them and then discovered there was another brother that lived in our town and we never knew, I only talk to the youngest one now coz the others decided for whatever reasons they don't want me in their lives after the funeral. Except the youngest one the others did not even show up to our Grandma's funeral. That hurt a lot. To this day I miss my dad and on the day he died I make time to grieve and my wife and kids help me each yr get thru it. Miss him so much to this day but at least his killer is behind bars still
I still remember getting that call from The nursing home." We think your mother has passed "
I lost my shit n said the exact same thing.. " how do you think this. DEAD IS DEAD"
I feel badly about it now because informing family must be a very hard job that nobody wants to do. 😢
N yeah Oldest kid Blues.
I don't think there's any good way to break such news. My Dad's friend checked on him for me because he wasn't answering his phone and found him dead in his home. She called me up and just told me, He's dead. Very blunt.
Good on you for being there for your younger siblings.
Hi Christopher. I'm 65,male from Denmark. My mum and dad got devorced when I was five and had nothing to with him, till few dayes before I got 18. She had met "by coincidence" in town and he then came by at my birthday and I never met him since then. But thats not my story I got inspired by yours regarding your dads death. This is : My mother died of cancer 52 years old and I was 36. The last five dayes she lived, she were at a hospital and I had a bed in her room. The last day I had a course to attend, I had booked several months ahead('cause the doctors told us then, she was well). I didn't want to leave her, but she urged me to do it. In the moment I sat down in the bus, on my way to the course, I knew she had died.
A sad and yet calm feeling over - whelmed my entire being and in a brief moment ,I wanted to go back to her. But since she had told me to attend the course,I did and in those 5 hours the course lasted , I were in state as I were trancesendent. When I got back to the hospital,they told me she died the moment I had senced earlier. In that moment I got an evoloping perception of God. Not in the religious sence, but as
" God is in me and I'm in God" and
" Everything we say, think and feel about others and our selve, matters equelevent".Thank you 🪷 for being You.. Wish you and your dear ones all the best and all well. Take care - Be 'ware: Ivan🗿🕊
I just watched that the other day. Watching the show now, knowing what kind of hell Titus was going through, feels different.
I lost my dad three years ago and he was only 57. Hearing your stories have always been cathartic for me. I can't thank you enough Titus.
My dad passed last December.. last time I saw him I just knew I wouldn't see him alive again. It hurt . I totally understand it's strange but i felt exactly what he's saying. I felt it leaving his house
My Dad came and visited 2 weeks before he died. I had the same feeling that I'd never see him again right before he left, to the point I cried. It's a horrible feeling, but even worse when he actually passed, but I guess at least I wasn't shocked by it.
Wish I could've participated in this episode. Lost both parents 6 months apart in 05, and it's been an episode of General Hospital to the likes the country has never seen.💯😂👍
I needed to hear this today. My Dad and I don’t speak (long circus of a story) and my StepMom is a big part of why. I’m very close with my steps siblings and bio sibs but still struggling to find a way to reconnect with my Dad, healthily connect. Most days I tell my self the “one day… “ and as they approach 80, I know that that “one day” may never come. I needed to hear that today, thank you for the little push to make safe effort to make sure I’m good with him, even if he’s not with me, cause that one day might not come. Its hard but its healing and avoidance will only prolong and exacerbate the pain in the end. Thanks for the loving nudge!
My dad died my senior year of high school! I was just going home, and I ended up following the rescue squad to my house, not knowing anything was happening! 😢 crazy 💩!
I feel you. I lost my mom when I was 18. She had cancer. She wanted to hang on till I graduated highschool. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her. I'm in my 40s now.
Known my wife since the second grade. Dating in High School, got married during college. 38 years of marriage to my longest and best friend. She died from complications from Non-hodgkins Lymphoma. It's been 5 years and I still forget sometimes that she's gone. But I just take it a day at a time. I feel lucky that we prepared that she would pass before me. Even though her death happened unexpectedly. I felt prepared. Didn't really have an easy time of it. However the only thing I can say make everyday count. Sounds cliche but I never stop telling people how much I love them even if we disagree on stuff. Like politics or family. Thanks for the conversation. Let's me know I'm not the only one who feels this way.
I understand when that homebase is gone. It's quite an adjustment.
In many ways you have to find that peace at a different level. It's never the same it just becomes manageable.
I lost my dad last year a day before Thanksgiving. Ironically,the last time i ever spoke to him was my 23rd birthday. And i lost him a day before Thanksgiving on top of that.I felt... empty. In some way,i still do. I've thought about that phone call ever since. Thank you,Titus. Thank you for helping me to heal from his death.
My adopted mother and father were very abusive. Before my adopted father passed we attempted to clear the air but my mother got in the way and literally shut us down from engaging. I never got a real release of a lot of baggage in my own heart and after he did pass I completely stopped talking to her. I haven't spoken to my adopted mother in over 6 years and honestly at this point in my life I don't want to engage someone who has no care about my emotional health.
Close that door - bury the past and don't pay any homage by reviewing it.
Live your best life making your own great memories.
There’s a couple of exercises in the book “Toxic Parents” that have you telling them everything you wish you would have told them. It’s excruciating (reliving the past usually is), but it’s freeing. There are some things that will not rest until spoken. I wish you self love & luck.
Lost my dad back in March of '22 ... miss him every day and think about him as well...🙏💯
Miss you, Mom...
The old saying nobody is promised tomorrow. I understand my mom just got diagnosed with Alzheimer's. It's so hard.
So very sorry.
Grew up watching your show, last December lost my father who was also 58. I appreciate you releasing this as he & I had a complicated relationship. Moving on has been hard but its comforting to know other people get through this. Your jokes have definitely seen me through tough times
The Burger Run scene when your dad had a heart attack on the show, is something I have laughed about many times.
Thank you for not shying away from topics most were too chicken to broach
Death is a strange thing that we think about more as we get older. My father just turned 80 and he was so depressed it was hard to be around him!
My father died 30 years ago. I didn't get to resolve anything with him (truthfully, I wanted one good swing at him, which he deserved from me for years of lies).
Now, 30 years later and my kids are grown, I'm starting to feel the clock ticking as well.
Thankfully I have a much better relationship with my kids than my father had with me (he was mostly absent and I spent most of my life with my mom), but I'm still trying to do right by them by getting them into their own spaces and "out from under my wing". I'm currently in the process of getting my kids out on their own and stable so I know if I'm gone tomorrow that they are somewhere safe and doing well without me or my wife involved.
If I could get to any of your shows i will definitely buy multiple things from you guys
Ive had a moment like this before with my grandfather back in 2016. He had been in and out of the hospital for like 3-4 years with an infection that required his legs to be amputated. Eventually it got really bad to the point he had to be in a medical coma. I would still visit him in the hospital while he was cognizant and all but the last time i saw him, there was a moment that i just started fighting back tears. When i was heading home, i pulled into a parking lot and just started crying hard. And it wasnt 2 days later that we pulled the plug. I still think about my Poppop and i know he would be proud of me. And i still wish i couldve had that chance to have a few beers with him.
My son died 2yrs ago thank god the last time talked i told him I love you he said the same thing back. He died the very next day
My dad was the anchor for my family. When he died unexpectedly at the age of 60, we were all a bit lost, even though I moved far, far away from home. I used to talk to him every day on my lunch break. And since, all of my dad's siblings have passed. He was the youngest of four, but the first to go. The oldest was the last to go. The only family I have left really, is my mom, and our relationship is... Strained. I rhink most people come from dysfunctional families, and on some level can relate to the sudden loss of the anchor, even if it was dysfunctional.
My dad was in the hospital when he died. We were arranging hospice care, and he said he was done with treatment, but his condition deteriorated within the hour. It was like he chose his time and we were in the room when time was called. My dad and I had reached an understanding with each other in our differences in the final last couple years, but like you said, that anchor was gone.
Yeah, i lose my parents in the same week, 22 years ago. My mom went first snd than my dad died about 5 days later. It was heart attack, it was broken heart he missed my mom so much. But yeah time does not take away the pain , it dulls and you feel the acne in your heart always. Yeah. I was clean with my parents at time , i was moving out of the house and getting ready for next phase of my life with dad as advisor in my life and than he was gone.
My great grandmother is in her 90s, it's unknown how much longer she'll live. While I'm spending as much time as I can with her, I'm more worried about the fallout of her passing. She had a will made out years ago that I co-signed for the notary to make a copy and send it to her lawyer, I've read up on my local laws regarding wills and contesting them. The only family member who is going to contest the will regardless of laws is her grandson my father. And I know I cannot be ready for that headache that's coming
We have had 2 deaths in our family within a few weeks of each other. One was tragic and shocking, the other was not really surprising.
My parents are in their 80s, so my son and I have decided to go see them and bring dinner every Sunday. When they're gone it's too late. My son just turned 18 and this is good for him to learn early.
About five years back, right before I turned 40, I was living with my mother and my aunt. My aunt had stage four cancer - tongue, lung, and throat. She was doing in house hospice. We knew it was only a matter of time. She slipped into a coma and passed in her sleep. I found her very early on Sunday morning. Two weeks later, I walk into my mother's bedroom and find her dead. She had the flu. I remember sitting in the funeral home, making the arrangements for a double funeral, looking around, thinking to myself, "Where's the adult? Who decided that I should be the grown up? Whose brilliant idea was that?" That's when I realized, holy crap, we're all just winging it. Adulthood is just going from one crisis to the next crisis, and in between you pay your bills and try to stay out of jail. That's it.
Two months after that my dog died. I firmly informed God that he/she/they could start using lube ANY DAY NOW. Whoo boy. I waited for people to bitch about their lives that year.
Been a major fan for years
It will be 4 years this Christmas Eve since my mom passed and there are still days where I feel I could have done more, said more, just more with her before she passed. We knew it was coming but part of me was still in denial even up to the last day. I know she holds nothing against me since my husband and I had just gotten married 3 months prior and we were still adjusting, but my gods do I still feel guilty.
I'm 3 years away from being the same age my father was when he died. I still remember getting the call and having to talk to my brothers and then finding out how bad off dad was before he died. Dad and my stepmother divorced and dad got his own place and moved on but none of us knew he had fallen into a deep depression and wasn't taken his meds and drinking heavily. I still think about him and our trips to concerts or star trek conventions and I miss him .
Thank you for this ❤ ❤
Whoever your loved one is: Let them know NOW: "No grudges, no regrets, take only love". They may not, but that YOU do? means everything.
Yes, i remember seeing my father leave. I wanted to go with him, but he said "no, stay here, be a good boy, ill be back".
He came back alright, in a damn coffin!!
I was the last child he seen, i was the last relative to talk to my dad before he was killed..
I feel ya Christopher. 👍👍👍👍
We watched my father die of cancer nearly four years ago, cancer took that badass outta my dad three weeks before he would have turned 62!😭
Losing a parent lasts a lifetime. I lost my father 20yrs ago, still think about him everyday.
That's what im doing now is clearing everything out. I have a really bad heart and my dads 80yrs old and i don't know who's gonna go first me or him. If its me someone wont find me for a while cause i live alone. I want me and my dad to be clean. My dad and i don't get along at all and its been like this ever since i can remember and now i just want love to be between us.
My mom died 5 weeks ago and I am the manager of her death... I spent part of today cleaning out paperwork at her house...your video could not be more relevant 💔💔💔
I lost my mom in June of last year. She was my family's rock, our center, and now all of that sense of stability and direction is gone and we've had to deal with where to go from there.
My oldest sister died of a blood clot out of nowhere. While we were all at the hospital, trying to comprehend as to what happened, my 2nd sister couldn't help herself, grabbed my hand, pulled me to he and said, "why couldn't it be you?" I didn’t want her near our mother, so I took her abuse. We had a priest come in to do Last Rites, and while everyone was holding hands, my sister started pinching the skin between my thumb and forefinger; she used to do this when we were kids, so I'd cry and get in trouble. However, I learned how to dislocate my thumb, so I could escape from her clutches, which I did during this man's prayers.
At our sister's funeral, she somehow convinced our niece's boyfriend's parents that I was dangerous and to be kept away from the family, despite her not having any contact with any of us for the past 6 years at that point. It was the first time that my husband intervened in this mess of a situation and told these people that she was a pathological liar who had no business being judgemental about me being poor, when she openly stole from everyone in our family, including from her own kids.
Our mom has decided to change her locks in her home, so when she dies, my sister can't help herself to any jewelry, money, furniture, books, or art in the house like she did when our dad died. We've taken anything of value and put it in a safety deposit box to be sold by a lawyer. It's a sad way to be, but she's a thief who cannot be trusted.
I lost my Dad last October. His show was incredibly real to me, make the Dad less of an a-hole and pretty much my childhood
I haven't had a relationship with my father since 2002 and I think that side of my family has abandoned me
You can't be older than 55 Titus WHAT O.o
the tv show was very funny....
My mother has frontal lobe dementia. Very hard to watch! Almost erases all the good memories......
See I don't see your wave of having unresolved problems. My dad and I didn't talk for 15 years. I called him we talked for an hour.Gave him my number.Then 3 year's later I got a text asking if I was his son. I said just tell me if he is dead. My sister wanted to cause waves.I said what does he have that I needed the last 18 year's he didn't share with us? He had my my number.He didn't want his family. That was on him.I know he didn't have a pot to piss in. A few guns a chainsaw.But that stuff will be gone by the time anyone gets there.They were going through his stuff to find my number. Law enforcement didn't even contact next of kin.So that's how he wanted it.
May not have been the way he wanted, may have been what he told himself would be best.
I’ve known many men who would not contact their children bc they thought their kids would be better off without them. Then I know quite a few who expect their kids to be the adult. I have four who always call me the day after Father’s Day & whine that none of their kids care about them… when they’ve never made an effort to be a part of their lives.
You would have to pay me to watch ads, considering the amount of data harvested to direct those ads.
Lost my my dad oct 3 1983. The last time I saw him was asking him for money to buy lunch at school.
Loved that show was cancelled TOO SOON AND girlfriend casted sucked sorry truth everyone else rocked that show
The last thing my dad did to me just before he died, He punched me in the face,
There is 2 MILLION my mom decided to leave entirely to my darling female sibling. I donated a kidney to my dad and did everything for the family...............siblings suck
We no longer talk. I didnt even go to my brothers funeral. I know he wouldnt do it for me.
My dad's bike couldn't kill him but some bitchass shit like asshole cancer did, the hurt is still fresh!😭
I lost my wife 18 months ago, still have her clothes in the closet and dresser. Just cant get to it.
I fucked up Titus.
My wife is in a coma. I have so fucking much I need to say. Now I can't.
I'm a fucking mess man.
First 🥇
been there, it's like going through their belongings just makes it real that they aren't there anymore.
