Derek, First my sincere condolences to you and your family. I can relate in some ways as I lost my wife to Alzheimer's disease just over 3 years ago. I picked up a camera to take wildlife photos as a means to cope. Nature, Time, and Patience are the 3 great healers. I wish you the very best and stay strong.
Hi Derek. Very sorry to hear about your wife's passing. Life sure can be cruel, but what I can say is keep making your videos. I always watch them regardless if you are talking rubbish or not 😜. Keeping busy is the key. Best of luck mate
So sorry to hear about your sad news. Being out and about with you your camera and possitve vibes will get you through the pain. Time is a healer no matter how long it takes. ❤
I too had gone into depression after losing my wife to cancer in June 2023, my children consulted a psychologist, sold my business and left me in the jungle around birds with a camera in my hands, currently I have come out of depression and now I have fallen in love with wildlife photography and forests.
derek, i’m so so sorry. she’s beautiful. cannot even imagine the shock you must feel. it’s very impressive that you’re able to talk about this, but i hope it helps, even a little bit. when i’ve experienced loss in the past i’ve found myself hesitant to do anything that brings me comfort, like i should feel bad for even thinking of anything other than my grief, but you just have to sometimes. and it’s very good to do so. i’m glad you’re able to do this and my thoughts are with you and your family. 💙
cancer is a bitch my mother in law pass away 22-12-2023 my wife went out for a walk today with her camera to clear head sorry for your lost take care from lisa steve from plymouth uk
I am so sorry to hear this and really feel for you, I have some idea what its like as I have a sister with stage 4 cancer and its been a crap road to travel. I cant imagine losing my Hubby. So glad you have your children and grandchildren there. Grandies really are a blessing. I'm sure being out in nature is a tonic and I look forward to your future videos. Take care of and be kind to yourself.
Thank you for sharing, Derek. We are sincerely sorry for your loss. Shocked to hear of Deb's passing. Keep strong and let time and nature heal. Lovely to hear your kids are so supportive - two great parents!! Sending love and hope to catch you out there! Anne & Greg
So very sorry for your loss, we first met at Winton wetlands and we talked about our partners, mine recovered from stage 4 cancer ,it's a very hard journey and I destress by getting out to the wetlands and it does help ,take care my friend .
Not sure how this popped up in my feed but sorry for your loss. Cannot begin to imagine such a loss but at least you got some beautiful photography to keep your mind a little occupied
So sad to hear your news, my heart goes to you and your family...I hope you can continue to find solace with the wildlife that you love to help fill the void
Don’t know you from Adam Sir, but my heart goes out to you for your loss. What makes it tougher for you is the time of the year ,good luck and God bless you Sir.
Ohh Derek i'm so sorry to hear 😪 Nature is truly very healing, in many ways it will help you get through and heal, but the reason for why it is very healing is not what you think. Truly the Hand of God is reflected in creation, nature itself feels very much like a personality whom you can interact with, thats because it is, because God made it for us.
So sorry to hear this, Derek. I can't imagine what you're going through, but I do know that getting away into nature to do some photography does clear your head. It certainly helps me de-stress. Love your channel and hope you find the strength to carry on with what you love.
Hi again Derek are you one day planning on writing a book about your study and finding re the yellow footed antechinus ? I live in the Castlemaine area and a book specifically on this critter would be snapped up by all the enviro groups and members across the region 👍 Ps if you want to film/photograph a family of phascogales, reach out. You'll see some cam trap rough vids on my 'channel' (8 joeys w/mum)....
Hi Womble Yes I am planning on writing a book on the Yellow footed Antechinus , once I under stand all aspects of their behavior . That could take some years . But I now enough to writing a children's book on them. So I have to see how this year pans out . I haven't worked for over two months , while I looked after my wife, so from tomorrow I will have to put in a lot of hour's in to make up for my time away from work. so I cannot come up to see you and the phascogales for some time , but send me an email with your details and I might see if later in the year I can come up . My email address you can find in my about page on my channel . Cheers Derek

So sorry for your loss! My condolences. Stay strong, your photography not only helps you but heals others as well. 🙏🏽
