- It is hard to find videos of a father's perspective on child loss. We felt it was important to film a father's loss and give the public tips on how he coped, what helped him, what he went through the first year and what thoughts and actions helped him move through the grieving process. We hope you find this video helpful to you whether you are on your own road of grief or you're trying to relate to a friend in need.

I just lost my first born son from an accidental fentanyl overdose. He was 17. Yesterday. Sept 8, 2023. Ummm. Idk how i feel. Shocked angry heartbroken confused rage waves of breakdowns, empty stare moments. Seeing his face. His smile. Thank you all for your sharing. I appreciate the peer support
Sending you a huge hug. I am so sorry. Just remember you are not crazy. This level of pain is surreal and sadly, normal.
When you are ready, find a fellow bereaved parents group. Most people simply do not inderstand. I recommend The Compassionate Friends. There is sure to be a chapter near you. It costs nothing and is a by and for bereaved parents support group. We members have lost our children in all sorts of ways.The group has no hidden agendas to deal with.
If you live in British Columbia Canada, there a group called Moms Stop The Harm which specifically deals with the epidemic of fentanyl poisonings. Men can join too.
They are for bereaved parents ( Healing hands )and also for parents who fear they are going to receive " the call" from authorities at any time. ( Holding hope.) I have four friends who find these groups a godsend. Good luck and take care. You are not alone.
God loves you and so do I ✝️
I hope you have found peace, strength and support.
May you see him again in Paradise. Very sorry for your loss.
I don't think I can speak of knowing that type of loss and I wouldn't choose to but I think the ones that went through it is the ones I would turn to first ❤❤❤
Us too. Daughter, 24, 6 days ago. She left a little over a yr old daughter.
When he said his job was to protect his son and he failed my heart broke. I have tears in my eyes. Feel so sorry for this man. No one deserves this.
Mines too
I feel the same way.. a moms job is to protect and comfort.. I went to work one morning leaving my babies with their father and then racing back home after getting a call from my neighbor saying something’s wrong my husband was crying and screaming… our 5 month old passed away.. and I still wish I hadn’t left for work that day.. I’m nauseous everyday reality hits me.. I quit my job I can’t do anything or go anywhere without anything reminding me of him.. I loved him so much.. it hurts to miss him…
@@nigtcore101 Oh No so so sorry about your lost!
How are you now?
@@glory1star to be honest i'm not okay.. i miss him so much.. i feel like his big brother was robbed of a big brother.. i was robbed of a happy family.. i want to join my son in the afterlife already. i cannot deal living everyday without him no matter how much i pretend..
@@nigtcore101 I know exactly what you mean 😢 I hurt with you when I read your post!
I am now in this club that no parent wants to join. In September 2022 my 18 year old only daughter well only child for 16 years, (I have now a 2 year old son ) she was a freshman at UC here in Ohio. Her and her roommate was walking in a crosswalk on campus and a teen diver just 17 hit them both in the crosswalk my daughter unfortunately didn’t survive her injuries. A parent wake at nightmare! 😢
My son has been robbed of a big sister , he just started to say Sissy the weekend before this horrible event happen
My daughter passed away when she was 14, full of dreams. I miss her each day of my life. It's been nine years.
Sorry for your loss
so sorry for your loss
💕🦋🧚♀️
I'm so sorry for ur loss. I lost my only child around Xmas time 2019. I still can't wrap my head around it. I'm raising her son. He's 9. I'm so sad. I know I need counseling but everything is at a standstill cause of covid. How do you survive this? Any tips?
@@loiswells7748 so sorry for your loss and especially at this time of year when everyone is celebrating, makes it even more painful 😥🙏 🧚🏻♂️ 👼 🦋
My husband was in the car wreck all three of our children were killed. My husband has traumatic brain injury from the wreck. I was at work when it happened. That all happened August 2024 the first holidays without my kids and their first birthdays without them have been really hard so far. I miss them every day, they were the kindest, sweetest, smartest people I've ever met.
😢😢😢Inexplicable LOSS,I REALLY HAVE NO WORDS EXCEPT TO SAY,MAYBE WHAT THEY NORMALLY SAY,WITH TIME AND GODS GRACE AND INTERVENTION,things may turn for the better❤❤❤
I just lost my first born son on March 10th 2024. He drowned at my neighbor's pool and was in a coma for 17 years. I thank God for the 25 years he gave my son to live. After his funeral I began to feel heartbroken, lost and empty inside but I continue to pray for guidance and strength. This is the hardest thing I've ever gone through. But I know my son is at peace no more pain no more suffering. I miss you so much sleep in heaven my angel Devante.
🙏♥️🙏
17 years! Omg, I can't imagine your pain. I'm so sorry.
My 3 year old daughter, Nollie, just died, in my arms, less than ten hours ago. I spent everyday, every night with my baby. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to go asleep. I don’t want to have to wake up thinking she is still here, and then remembering she is not. How do people survive losing your only child? How is it even possible? Every memory is unbearable. Thinking of all the special things we did and said that were apart of our bond will never be experienced again makes me feel like there is truly no point in going on. It’s true, all great things come at a great cost. The pain you will feel when you lose your most cherished will gut you from the inside out, and leave you bleeding until the day you die. That is the price for love, and is something no one talks about. Each death takes a piece of you, and leaves you forever changed. However it is a great honor, for being able to give away a piece of yourself to the ones you cherish is the greatest gift you can give. Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one, and tomorrow could be your biggest nightmare. Appreciate today, do not fear tomorrow, only understand tomorrow is the price you pay for today, because all great things come at a great cost. Cherish your loved ones every day. Remind yourself that you ARE taking things for granted, but forgive yourself as you are human. The greatest thing I ever was, was a dad… and now… I am truly… nothing.
Nooooo 😭💔💔 you ARE something, you gave yourself selflessly
As a father who recently lost my 20 month old baby girl, everything you said resonates with me profoundly. I can only wish you all the very best with the struggle. It is unbelievably painful.
This resonates so deeply. Lost my 9 month old two days ago. He died painfully in my hands and I will never forgive myself for failing to be a mother.
But I cherish the idea that one day we will meet again and spend the rest of eternity together. I just hope it’s true. His life was short, but he lit my life, and I shall never let his death set the rest of it ablaze and turn to ashes. No matter what a parent will do after losing a child, they must keep on going to pass on the memory of their treasure.
Hang in there my dear. Losing a child has taught me to cherish every moment we have with loved ones, but also to understand that we can only do so much for them. Only God knows what will happen. I also learned that every individual has their expiration date. As painful as it is, we must come to terms with that fact as we can do nothing to change it. Please look up Near Death Experiences on RUclips and listen to the stories. That's what gives me peace. Our loved one are no longer in the flesh but they are more alive in the spirit than they were on earth. They're also very happy. Cherish the few years you had and continue to live. They would not want you to give up living. They can also hear you so talk to them. I sure do every day.
Im here going through it
Losing a child is an indescribable pain
I lost m'y daughter in 2021... I miss her, i Will miss her my entire life!!
Very painful.
I lost my son. The sorrow I feel everyday is pretty unbearable. No one knows this level of grief unless you’ve gone through it. I will never be the same again.
@@pamelazabell9478 I too lost my only son when he was 28 in a car accident. I feel you pain. He has a 9 year old daughter that I've been close to her whole life. I still go to see her gymnastics every Monday
and hope to be a big part of her life. That's what I hang onto
I just lost my son of one year .the pain ohh. But the Lord comfort s me sometimes am strong sometimes I break but The Grace of God is sustaining me
I know the pain of losing a child. I just lost my 31 year old son. We will always wonder how we could have prevented their deaths. Unfortunately in most cases we can't. There is a time to be born and there is a time to die and none of us can decide when that happens. This life is uncertain and can be painful, but we can only do the best we can and leave the rest in God's hands.
I lost my only son on November 17, 2019. He was 28 years old but was and will always be my baby. He was my life my world. He had got sick from IV drug use. He spent 4 months in the hospital and had heart valve replacement surgery. He weighed 103 lbs when he came home. He survived 7 months. He got sick again and I had to tell my son his heart was dying and nothing could be done medically to save him. The morning he died I died with him.
I am very sorry to read it. Support from Rome. I am thinking to your son.
I lost my son 3 months ago, he was also 28...died from liver and organ failure from alcoholism...He died with me right there holding on to him....
Oh my goodness. Your son. Your reason for being and purpose. I lost my only son September 2021.He was 29, and my world as well.I too felt as though I was half dead.
Tragically, only people like you and I could ever fully understand the pain of loosing a child.I have to say that it gets a little easier, I don't cry daily ( just occasionally)I can finally talk about him without crying.I will have memory flashes out of no where.Sometimes it's something humourous , sometimes it's so so sad .I (we) will be forever changed, our hearts will never ever be full.
@@brendapreston2568❤
I totally get what you say. The day my son died i died within too. He was fighting Drug addiction for years but i see him mentally die day by day when the drug dealers were chasing him and he had to hide and live behind constant lies and shame. He didnt want to admit it to me let alone himself he was in a mess that was a drain on his whole personality. Drugs are a terrible killer of our young children.
I lost my only child when he was 1 month's old he died becuase of "Sudden infant death syndrome" , my fiancee left me after 4 months after our baby died. Now I'm all alone in my apartment watching this video and crying, but this video has been the best how to cope with the sadness. I miss my son so much.
Alexi, so sorry.
i feel for you... i lost my 2 month babygirl the day after christmas 2020 due to sids as well. your child wouldve grown up to be a wonderful human being ❤️ stay strong.
@@sophiaancheta8685
So sorry for your loss, what help you cope with this pain?
Oh my heart mija I am so sorry. I send you prayers for strength 🙏🤍 your babyboy is looking down at you rite now he will always be in your heart mama I know this pain my son was 7 months old when he passed its bin 2 years after and it's still so hard but I promise in God's time you will find strength ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
💔
I hate it when people say " you're too protective". There is no such thing. I don't have kids yet but I watch my nephew like a hawk. You can't let little kids out of your sight.
@BigErn_Mccraken you can say the same for people who don't protect their kids enough. Kids are not meant to be your friends. If they hate you is because they don't understand. But when they are adults trust me they will be so thankful. Now I do believe there's line between being too protective and imprisonment.
The thing is that you cant ever protect them against everything. I put corner bumpers on every table, desks, even wall corners, in my home. My daughter never hit them, but opened her face by falling on the bed frame. Shit will happen.
Grief is hard,you never really get over it ,you learn to live with it, and honor thier memory..🙏❤️
Im very sorry for your loss. My daughter was 7 when she died suddenly, Sept. 5, 2024. Our lives will never be the same .
I lost my son at 26 to addiction, I'm sorry for your loss.
May I ask how's it going for you so far? Sorry to ask.
Drugs and Drug dealers are the bane of the world. I lost my boy who became a young man at the age of 27. He was found dead in his room in August 2019. We to this day still do not know what caused his death but we think he had some sort of bleed on the lungs and chocked to death. We are waiting for an Inquest into his death within next couple of months. I am divorced from my wife and live on my own so get lots of time to think. I think of him and our friendship every day and miss him so very much. He was a person that would drop everything to help you. He would say don't worry dad I will get it or do that for you. We would go on holiday together, work on cars, play Rugby together. I don't know how I am going to keep my chin up over the rest of my life and keep going. I know I owe it to my 2 girls his sisters to make what's left of my life as bearable as possible for me and them to endure. I found the friends were around until the Funeral then bye bye they all get closure and go back to their lives with their children hand have fun while I am here sitting without my son. I don't want to sound bitter or annoyed but life goes on with or without you. People get on and if you are too upset I feel them avoid me. So I am all cried out now and don't matter how many tears I shed he's not coming back and that's that.
@@brutallyhonest9140 i can sense your deep grief. You sound like a caring loving father, im 32 i never knew my father till i was 31 turns out he just isn't that bothered. Left me with issues growing up., I'm so sorry for your loss. You sound like a real dad and i know for a fact that's a blessing for any child.
Respectfully.
Thank you for your kind response. I loved being his Dad and to my 2 girls too. He was a typical dare I say it mans man, Very deep voice and strong morals. Leaving out the addictions of coarse. However I do think the break up of my marriage from his mum and I had a profound effect on his mind as he was at a very pivotal age 12 at that point. I could feel his pain of this split and his divided loyalties between his mum and myself. It was a very acrimonious split with betrayal's involved which made me bitter and he felt my pain. I think he took too much on board and that's my fault allowing him to see my distress and my pain. However I did try to help him and never gave up trying to get him help. I know in the last couple of months he went to The Priory to Detox but a 2 month detox hardly cuts it with a 15 year addiction. He needed a 15 month Rehab to overcome the addiction I think. But there is no money in our system to help overcome that type of addiction. Going back to you. I think the best thing you can do is try and find someone who is a good genuine man who is older than you but has a good strong stable mind. Someone you could resect and look to when the road is a little foggy. I tell you i am sure that will help with that missing person you had namely your father. We wasn't born smart smart is something that comes with presence of mind and the years and the willing to accept. Years of experience and you can find that in a good person. They are out there its just finding them. I hope you take this in the context its meant as I am sure you are a lovely person who would love a respecting father figure to look up to.
I am sorry for yours
I lost my son this year. I’m so tired. I don’t know if I’ll ever feel happiness again. I love and miss you Ezra forever.
You will...i lost my son two years ago...we will always suffer, but also can find some happiness, our sons would wish that for us, im sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
I lost my son too this year (September 2024). He was born healthy but I place him in the confinement centre then he’s gone due to abused 😢 he’s only 30 days old. Every day I missed him. I think I don’t feel happiness anymore.
You are in my prayers. I lost my daughter to a narcissist, the memories are hard to bear but I’m glad to know we are not alone. I will pray for god to heal our hearts. It’s been 9 years of heartbreak
I'm 20 years old and watching this video for a class assignment, after reading the comments I'm heart broken. For every parent out there wondering if they could've done better, or if you're forgiven by your child for whatever reason, know that they love you and know you did what you could for them. My parents are far from, perfect but if I passed away I would want them to know I loved being their child, and that I knew they loved me and cared about how I felt, and if I was safe and that's what matters. I send every parents who have lost a child my condolences and love.
I just lost my 18yr old on July 2 on a dirtbike accident. Now I'm here watching this video
My 10 year old daughter passed away Dec. 13 2019. I relate to everything you said and feel. I’m devastated. Dad loves you Megan.

How did she pass, if you don’t mind me asking?

Sorry for your loss, My 2 month baby passed due to SIDS on Sept. 2018.
So sorry for you loss! Such a sweet father.
Im so sorry for your great loss of your daughter.I will pray for you🙏
So my son passed away in 2014 bit it feels like it happened yesterday. My family just isn't the same with him gone. We all deal with it in our own way I guess. The worst part is walking into a room and seeing my wife crying and knowing there's absolutely nothing I can say or do to comfort her. They say time heals all wounds but that's not true. You just hide the wound and bare the pain because life must go on. But all the hurt is always just beneath the surface.
I know what you mean. How did you son pass? If you don’t mind me asking
So very sorry for your loss.
I'm still dealing with the loss of my son alone. He was 6 I dream of him sometimes and I wake up crying
This is me,wake up crying every day 😭
We lost our son 12-11-19 in a car accident. The pain is horrific. Brian’s mom, forever 26, forever loved 💜
So sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the grief.
@@Tom80990 thank you! I pray you never know. Our hearts are forever shattered 😫
Sorry for your loss. I also loss my son this year due to a car accident. I miss him so much 😢
@@Curitaw I’m so very sorry, hugs!!
My only son John died in car accident 11/27/2020 so much pain from so much LOVE. I miss him all the time!!
This got me sobbing. I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my 20 yrs old April 29, 2018 (youngest of 4) to Suicide. I got stuck there (April 28 & 29, 2018). It consumed the life out of me. It's gonna be 3 yrs in April, but to me it feels like it just happened yesterday. I don't know why, it didn't make any sense. He has depression since he was in high school but he was saying a counselor. He was in college when it happened. He was a very smart talented kind person. Double major, film and theater. He was an actor, movie writer, editor, producer, director, song writer, rapper, singer, dancer, choreographer. He was hired by the school as an IT tech (self thought) and a dance fitness instructor. He called me on the night of April 28th, he was all happy because his movie premier was successful. He says he has invited everyone in his apartment to party. I told him I was so happy for him. And told him to be careful and enjoy his party. This last words were "i love you mom". I didn't know that's the last time I'm going to hear him say that.
I'm saw your channel because I'm searching "how to overcome a death of a child"? It's been 3 years, there was not s day i didn't cry. And everyday, the incident is always playing in my head. I always see my son standing in the middle of the train tracks waiting for the freight train to hit him. People who lost a child says, in thing it does get easier. I can't wait to reach that point. God is my saviour. My world is very dark. I'm lost. I am only functioning because of him.
Mary, I am so sorry to read this. Grief is so hard and it such a long process. It is very consuming. Time is the enemy. Suicide is so difficult because there are so many unanswered questions. I pray you find the answers you need for peace. The best thing I did was help others. It really helped me a lot to help others who were grieving. xoxoox
My dear, I can't say that I know how you feel as we all grieve differently. I am so sorry to hear if your loss. Yes, it makes no sense. What I've realized from losing my beloved son, is that we cannot see their pain. They mask it very well. Often they seem so happy but inside they are suffering. We can only do so much to help. I realized that there is no turning back as my son is really gone. Every day I wonder what else I could have done but truthfully, there was nothing else I could have done. He was loved, he was supported, we were always there for him. He was unfortunately fighting some demons and even prayers did not save him from dying. I therefore surrendered him to God, as I realized there was nothing else to do. God did call him home and I am now at peace with that, even though my heart is now in pieces. You will never be the same again, but we must continue to live, as that is what they would want. May God grant you peace as the days go by.
We lost our 18 year old son and only child 52 days ago. So much of what you said resonated with me. I broke down when you spoke anout a father’s job is to protect your children and you failed because that’s exactly how I feel right now. Not only did I fail him and his future, but also that of my wife and I. We are just completely adrift right now and don’t understand what purpose can be left for us now. We have at least made contact with a local support group of those who have unfortunately experienced this, and have our next counseling appointment tomorrow, so hopefully that will help. Although I can see your obvious pain, outreach like this does give me hope that you can eventually find some way out of this darkness.
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. I’ve lost 2 babies-through miscarriage and premature birth. Thank you for this very important message.
What helps you cope through this
I'm so sorry for your miscarriages did you have any stillbirth babies if you did I'm sorry PatriotApril
PatriotApril God bless you.
I’m sorry for your loss. This makes me upset. Knowing I want to take my own life then hearing this makes it hard for me wanting to take my own life. So I’m so so sorry this happened to you
@@courtneyy2604 I’m really sorry you’re feeling so down... I wish I or someone near to you could reach out and help and comfort you. You must get help.... life is so precious. My beloved 37 year old brother took his own life leaving a 7yr old and a 2yr old. He had them to live for.... he had his family, our mum and us siblings ..... but in that moment it obviously wasn’t enough ..... the pain a death leaves behind is terribly indescribable 😭🦋
We lost our 22 year old daughter one month before her graduation from college. She loved life & learning.
😢😢😢😢🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
I lost my son last week. I believe every parent has guilt from such a loss. And also just when we lose anyone we love : we wonder if we could of been a better friend , daughter , mom etc.
My grief is so far reaching and so deep. The world has lost its color.
My baby , My son , my Timothy.
And for who have lost a child and a loved one
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊🕊🕊
Love bonds is to our loved ones for ever
You will never “ get over it.” It’s life changing. You are a great dad. Your son is still with you.
You are brave to deliver this important message.
I lost my adult son 2 years ago and it’s the hardest thing ever in my life. I talk to him often..get signs from him. Knowing he is still alive in spirit lessens the pain.
I am sorry, Donald, for the loss of your son. Child loss is like losing a leg, or an arm, u don't "get over it" . You learn to adapt to life without it. I pray that you learn to adapt and find joy again. I am sure he would want that for you.
🥲
I believe u, they still live, in soul and spirit
I understand the pain. I have just buried my 17 years son, Michael. After fighting leukemia for almost 1year. I am down at the Moment, i know it is time to let him rest but is almost impossibile to move on without him.
Iost my daughter St 34 with Leukemia. She fought for 3 yrs. It's been 26 yrs and the pain never goes away. If I had not had 2 other children I would not have survived.ita the worst pain a person can face. So sorry for the loss of your son.
We lost our beautiful 11yr old daughter December 18,2023 after being diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer. Killed her two months after diagnosis. She fell at school on her knee and during an XRay discovered she had tumors all over her body and bone marrow. Her funeral was in January I have been depressed devastated and its hard to get out of bed. I miss my angel so much. And right when she started 6th grade. She had so many plans in life. Im gonna miss her for the rest of my life.
😔
Im so sorry. She must have been so wonderful. You will see her again. I know this doesn't help any pain now, but that was the only thing I could cling to for 3 years. Then the grief started lifting.
I just lost my 42 yr old son to substance abuse. I was praying for him and didn’t know he was already gone. We tried so hard to help him for so many years. Your boy was very special, you know he is with God now. As I so hope my son is also.
My sweet sweet son die 4 years ago he went to be a doctor but came in caskets he was just 18 I miss him every second of my life , prayers and support to every one suffering from this huge lost 😞
I lost my 1 year old son a few months back my heart pours for you
I am so sorry to read this. Was this from the same type of accident or something else?
Parents for Window Blind Safety something else but the words were touching
Jay_Wax #GasHouseSf I so sorry for you loss. You son is in better place know
Jay_Wax #GasHouseSf Don't feel sad.Read or watch some Near death experiences on youtube .Hope that comforts your soul beacause everybody fights there own secret battles and puts up a face of a warrior.Love,Light and blessings to you
Thank you for sharing your story. I lost my son (Daniel - 23) to fentanyl in early 2023. He was a wonderful person and I miss him every day. I choose to remember Daniel and the light that he provided to everyone who knew him through talking about him. I tell stories - generally fun and warming tales - to keep him present within me. I will never get to hug or hear him again...but I will ALWAYS have the memories of him and the life we got to be part of for 23 years. Life is not easy, and when something like this happens it is easy to let yourself go to a dark place. I choose to find the positive that I had a son that brought great memories and was such a wonderful part of my life. He was not always an easy kid, but he had a very kind and loving heart. It is with that, I encourage anyone who is reading this to don't give up on your memories. They are a way to celebrate your child and keep them close to you, as you continue to live your life.
My daughter went to heaven a month and half ago. Trying to keep sane is hard. I have a son that is wonderful and has been a rock for me. Many friends have helped but the pain in your heart is unbearable. You have good moments and people think you're ok. Then they don't understand what happened when the tears start. There's no way to explain this kind of pain. I don't see it ever getting easier. I hope it does.
Thanks for sharing!!
I just lost my daughter 6 weeks ago. I won’t let myself cry. Too scared I won’t stop. I am packing some of her favorite things. Thank for sharing it really is what I needed to be told. I love you if no one told you that today
I lost my son only a few weeks ago and it was sudden. He was 24 years old. Words cannot express the hole it leaves in your heart. I wish i could find a support group in my area. I need to be with people who get it right now.
Kimmi Scott I’m so sorry. We found support at least virtually through The Compassionate Friends, which is global, and Helping Parents Heal. These groups are both on Facebook and the web. May you find help and kindness for your grief.
I lost my son two weeks ago. He was also 24yrs old. My words cannot help you but know my prayers are with you
chevella Alviar Oh my , I am so so sorry. You are in my prayers. We have a long road ahead, but as long as we lean on Him who created us, we will make it.
Kimmi Scott thank you. It’s the only thing I can do is pray. His loss from my life is the hardest part, not having closure and not seeing him grow into the man I could see. I came hear looking for something anything to help me. Nobody knows what I’m going through but when I saw your post I knew there was someone out there going through the same loss.
I lost my 21 year old son in June. I'll always go through some grief but it's important to be thankful for the gift he was to us, even for such a short time.
I lost my 29 year old beautiful baby boy to Covid in May of ‘21. I will never get over it. I don’t sleep, I miss him everyday, in every way a father misses a child. My heart is forever shattered. I don’t know how to navigate this. It’s so terrible. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. My only hope is that I will see him again. He’s my everglow.
He's with u in spirit hun, I'm so sorry for your loss
I lost my daughter at the age of 20, seven months ago. This is the worse pain I have ever experienced. She was my only child and I constantly feel like I failed her. I miss her so much 😭

I lost my daughter one day before her 21st birthday less than a month ago, how do I go on?
I lost my son at 20 due to a motorcycle accident...i feel i failed him....why didn't i talk to him to sell it...i feel i just didn't talk to him enough....it hurts bad....i feel for you
@@leebreadman I lost my son last Monday it’s been 9 days since he’s gone he was 20yrs old. It was sudden his heart just stopped. I miss him so much 😭 💔 I too wished I talked to him more and spent more time with him. I love you Damian ❤️
I just happen to come across this video. I don't even have kids. This is the first thing to make me cry in 4 years. No one should ever have to experience this. I'm sorry for your loss.
You did not fail, my brother. From one father to another. Things sometimes happen that we simply cannot change or control.
Praying and wishing for the best for you and your family.
I lost my beloved son (age 17) in August 2024 during his treatment in the hospital. He just completed his GCSES and was doing Hifz-e-Quran. I can't explain how hard it is to go through the grieving process. May Allah elevate his ranks in Jannat_ul_Firdous and illuminate his rest-place with the lights from heaven. Ameen
Grief Share group has actually saved my life 🙏 Losing my only son to Covid and the immense pain is unbearable. Please pray 🙏
So sorry 😞
Thank you for your video. I lost my beautiful 8 years old daughter this year to cancer. I've never felt so lost and so broken.
My heart is heavy. I lost my son and husband on May 8, 2024. A 17-year-old drunk driver hit both of them on their motorcycles. My son was 20, and my husband was 34. I have cried every day because I don't want to accept this. I'm dying inside.
Sorry for your loss I know that’s so hard on you my son was killed in April I’m numb and hurt so bad
Sorry for your loss
So sorry to hear this, my son was killed just 10 days ago by abuser and he is only 30 days old. I can’t want to accept too. Dying inside, every morning cried. But I think our son and your husband wanted us to be happy and move on. Let’s do our best to overcome this!
@@kaminchoo OMG i'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a child is the worst feeling ever. Sending you a hug
💙
I am a trauma ER doctor. I lost my 22 year son to a brain bleed. I should have seen the signs, but did not. He was the best.... He too was very spiritual... So sorry for your loss... God bless. And yes, please please understand the horrors of these kinds of blinds.
@ scarlett Martin 💓 sending u love , I also lost my 29 year old son who was my only child and he was my best friend ❤️ I know your pain ..im wanting u to know that it'll never go away but it does get somewhat BREATHABLE at times. ❤️
❤
my older brother was killed when he was 16 in 2010, i was 12 around then. Parents are the strongest people going, they grieve while also support their children through the loss. as i got older i realised how much sacrifices and mental strength it takes. Stay strong everyone
God Bless anyone who lost a child... Just ain't right.... I pray 🙏 for all Moms & Dads across the world 🌎 who have ever lost a child...
I lost a twin son March 2020 . He was only 16yrs old . I miss him everyday. My heart is broken
❤ ❤ ❤
I lost my twin son 2 days ago at 7 weeks. 😓
Thank you for this video my baby was born August 12, 2022 and past away 3days ago Saturday March 11 I’ve been so devastated in torment feeling just like this hardly able to sleep I was up at 5am wanting to find something that could help me and came across this video thank you😖💔💔💔💔🙏🏼🙏🏼
So sorry. ❤ ❤ ♥
I am so very sorry for your loss. We lost our 28 year old son. There is no pain, none, that compares. My faith is what carries me and our family. I KNOW we will be together in heaven. Thank you for sharing your story.
I lost my daughter when she was 11 days old. I miss her dearly. This video gives me hope.
My daughter died 3 years ago she was only 6 months old ive never sought mental help after but this really helped me just hearing your story was so powerful thank you
❤
My best friend lost her son a few days ago. While she didn’t give birth to him, she loved him and took care of him more then the woman who gave birth to him.. Ontop of everything, we have found out that the mothers bf is the one whom took our little prince from us. I’m trying anything I can as far as words to keep them positive and try to guide them through this best as I can, but it’s so hard. Here I’m watching my best friend of 17 years who’s turned into my sister, struggling in pain, and I can’t take it away their pain. I can’t go back in time and make it so that this tragedy didn’t have to happen in our lives.
Lost my 35 year old son seven months ago... I can relate sir, God Bless you!
I'm sorry for your loss but praise God you will spend eternity with your son.
I lost my son a couple days ago he was only 3 years old, thank you for your story. This is extremely hard and don’t know how I’m gonna get through this.
So sorry for your loss, what happened to your son?
How are u doing?
Hey, how are you coping?
Please turn to God
I lost my baby boy too my friend. He'd be four years old now. Every day since he left has been a struggle.
Lost my 33 year old son Nov 7 of this year. My heart is broken and I do not want my other children to feel my heart ache. I want them to be ok. I love them all the same, I just miss him so much.
Thank you for sharing
I'm here after losing my 2 year old boy. I left the house Saturday night and never saw him again. Its been 21 months now and the pain never goes. I don't know how I can get through my life without him. I feel the same as you regarding the time I spent with Jude. As much as it hurts to have lost him, the thought of never having him is infinitely worse.
So insightful
he’s a beautiful boy. and you seem like a beautiful man. thank you.
I loss my 12 year old son and I work as a grief support specialist griefs never ends it a roller coaster.
I loss my son 7-16-2023, he’s forever in my heart. I love you Steven ❤
I’m very sorry for your loss, can’t imagine the pain your in.
My heart goes out to you, I lost 5 children and also my father, it’s the hardest battle of my life just waiting to see them again.
I’m just waiting for the day I meet them again,
Thankyou for sharing your story , he will be very proud of you
Deeply sorry for the loss of your son, I have a 3 year old son and can’t imagine how I’d even stay alive if I lost him, but take solace in the fact that because I have watched this video I have got rid of my corded blinds and eliminated a threat that I never even thought of before so thankyou for doing this video
"I never had anxiety before, I developed social anxiety" these words... I'm dealing with this now. I don't recognize myself after the loss of my son who's name was also Gavin. I was 5 months pregnant and lost him. He was perfect, he went from warm to cold in my arms.
Some days feel like I'm floating like I'm not walking. There's anger, there's rage. There's pain, there's physical pains.
Hi, i wanted to tell you that i have lost my little Omar 2 years ago, and your beloved Gavin and my beloved Omar had the same smile. I saw him Today in my dream and it overcame me i couldn't stop crying, so i looked for similar situations with other parents and i found you talking about Gavin may he and every little child rest in peace Amin, iam very thankful for your wonderful words and i wish you and your family all the happiness in the world...
I'd be more than glad if you contact me.
A grieving Father from Germany. My Omar was two and a half years old when he died.
I am so sorry to hear about Omar. How did he pass, Ghaleb? Where is Germany are you located? I lived in a small town called Schnitenbach from 1995-1998
I lost my daughter last feb 15, 2020... living my day to day life has become a dream... I constantly wish im just dreaming. Hoping that she'll just be in her room everytime i dont see her. It breaks my heart everytime i realize shes gone forever. She was 20. 😔
don’t say that your timeline and every fiber of your being is forever intertwined , this infinite universe is a home you still share
I totally can resonate with your feelings. Just lost my 28 year old daughter.....
Can totally understand and resonate with you. I have been disraught because I just lost my 28 year old daughter. At times I don't believe it...I feel she will walk in any time on me..
Loss my child 2 hours after birth due to trisomy 13, five years ago and he was full term. I still grieve silently some days, thankfulky now I have two kids healthy. As a father it is expected to be the rock and foundation for the family. I still have more venting to do, because when everything becomes to silent around me I hear my sons half cries and thinking of myself that there was nothing i could do to fix it, feeling helpless as I carried my son through his final minutes until he became silent and body cold. Dreams shattered at the time, I still hold my tears.
The same here
No one has an idea of how it feels till you go through it ...I hope one day I will get though it
5:00 Take care of yourself and take care of your family. Well said.
I lost my son in 2019 and this has helped me more than anything I’ve ever ever watched on RUclips ... out of all the Bullshit on here this is what RUclips should be promoting , this is what RUclips need to promote more of ... god bless you brother . A father pain never ends I’m living proof , but this makes it that much easier. From the bottom of my heart thank you
So sorry for your Loss. I lost my Son too. I understand how it feels. But God Strengthens me everyday. Keep your Faith Strong.
I lost my beautiful daughter four months ago. She was about to turn 9, two weeks before her birthday, she returned to her creator. Only my faith and belief in the afterlife are providing me with the strength to carry on, as I await the day when I'll be reunited with my loved ones…
Sending love and prayers.
We just lost my 6 week old grandson and my son 5 months ago.
My faith is what keeps me going.
Hugs
💙🕯♾🙏🏽✝️
Your daughter deserved it
@@veeherreraJanecka I'm deeply sorry for your loss💔 Please know that my prayers are with you❤️🩹
I lost my 7 years old daughter 7 months ago. Life is really hard without her.
You don’t know me but I wish I could take your pain away. 💙
I just miss my son and want him back. I want to see him again to feel his hugs. The last memorie I have is giving him a hug and kiss before going to work.
It is so hard to get through the grief in this life but I have hope that I will one day hug my child again.
Sorry for your loss
Same, I really missed my son too 😭
My son, 22 years old,…forever young🙏
Omg, I am so sorry. Your son was absolutely beautiful. I don't know you but can tell you are a fine person and dad. God bless you and your family and that little angel in heaven. I lost my adult son 5 months ago to a drug overdose.
No one understands the love parents have for your children till you have them. I can’t imagine it…thanks for sharing and God bless you and your children, all of them
My brother passed away August 9, 2019. Its heartbreaking enough but seeing my parents go through this...words can't describe the amount of sadness. I pray for every single person in the comments and the world going through this. I pray for strength, understanding, and healing.❤️
Kayciaz, I am so sorry. How did your brother pass away? I lost my brother 4 years ago, Oct 2nd from a sudden heart attack. He was my Irish twin. 43 years old. I couldn't believe it. After all my loss, my Father, my daughter, my mother, then my brother! I refuse to get bitter. I refuse to blame God. I can only say at this point, I have a masters degree in grief! LOL! This is the fallen world that we live in. We must embrace what life throws at us and grow from it. The best thing I found was giving to others. It is the most healing thing on earth.
So sorry for your loss, I lost my only son Abram, buried in my absence, he was just nearing his birthday on 24th of Feb and died on 12th, it has tortured me and no longer myself, living without him is really unbearable, I only need him bk
❤
I lost my son at 7 months old I miss him everyday my heart hurts ♥️ Your words I loved Soo much thank you Soo much for this video and for being so strong . Your son was an angel so handsome like my papas I no God is holding them tight🙏♥️ much love and respect god bless you and your family.
My 20 year old daughter passed away on September 27 from a massive pulmonary embolism. Blood clots were in each of her lungs and they may have been triggered by the hormonal birth control pills she was taking. Our family is just devastated. She had complained of back pains during the two weeks prior to her death, and she sought medical treatment, but the doctors didn’t find anything. One day our daughter was a lively college student getting ready for exams and 24 hours later she was gone. I found this video to be very helpful. Thank you for posting. Please Lord give us strength.
.....my son was 21...he went mount climbing and that was it...
@@Kmashkouyeh My daughter was 21. She was hit by a drunk driver 8 weeks ago.
@@janetgoldsbury3953 God Bless her soul and may she in peace 🙏🏻💜💜💜
My 13 year old daughter also passed away 1 month before having same problem pulmonary embolism. Did doctors kept your daughter on vantilator or bipap machine for oxygen?
@@makeupwithkrupa9225 I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. Yes the doctors did have my daughter on the ecmo machine.
This story literally speaks volumes for me and my husband ...... our babygirlwho was one passed away .... our relationship struggled just as he said and the guilt .... the way he described the scene is exactly what our experience was ...... I’m so glad he chose to speak up bc u helped us ....
There is absolutely no deadline to ever "get over" the death of your child. Thank you for helping others and being a positive advocate for safety. (My son Dan died due to cancer at 28 almost six years ago, and it still feels like yesterday.)
Damb this hurts man I got 3 kids and I can’t imagine loosing them so sorry for anyone who has lost a child We can only find comfort in god and each other straight up
Our sweet little boy passed away 3 months ago in a car accident. He was 17 months. It genuinely is a pain like no other. I do not understand how people cope losing their babies..
That's awful. So sorry. ❤ ❤ ♥
Im sorry for your loss. I lost littleone too in accident 5 months ago.
@@Fufux0rsI’m sorry for your loss also, I really wish I could tell you it gets better but there’s no way to replace a child or even begin to imagine life without them. How old was your child?
@@majormaloney-jc4xq Ty. She was 2,5years.
@@Fufux0rs I’m terribly sorry you’re going through this. it’s probably the worst thing someone can go through. If you don’t mind, just a suggestion, write down every precious memory you can remember, one day when you’re older and memories begin to fade, you’ll be so thankful you did.
You're not a failure... Your love for your kids explains everything about you. God continue to bless and heal you & your family . Your boy is in God's hands . In the safest place he'd ever be . Xxx
May God bless you and your family. I lost my 29 year old son a few months ago and it's been such a difficult time for all of us. They say what doesn't kill us makes us stronger but sometimes I still cry out to God for strength because it feels as if I've lost a part of myself. Prayers for you.
I am so sorry for youre loss. My 14 year old son was murdered. I fully understand every emotion you and youre wife are going through. Especially the feeling of guilt and failure. And only you and youre wife know the pain. Nobody else will understand. Thank you for sharing this. May youre baby boy rest in piece!
Thank you for sharing this. I had 10 miscarriages in my child bearing years. Got to adopt a beautiful son at birth and keep him in our family. He was my joy, my life. He died day before yesterday from cardiac arrest at the age of 29. I am lost. I am crushed. I am angry. I do not see myself getting over this loss.
My grandmother is almost 73 and she struggled to cope the loss of her daughter (my mother) who was 49 when she passed away. It had an affect on the entire family but she was the one who was hurting the most because she had to say goodbye to her child knowing she would never see her again
Grief is so very difficult. I believe helping others brings the best healing.
Adam Granger You mom is better place know
I watched this to get some help through someone that shares their loss. I lost my son, Spark Richardson to a rare form of cancer 2 years ago. He suffered alot, and died at home like he wanted. I have ptsd from his death, and leading up to it. Thank you so much for posting this video. Our sons are in Heaven, and we will be with them one day. May God be with you, and your family always. Thank you.
How old was your son?
I just lost my baby. She was 2 months and 2 days old. I miss her so much. I never got to bring her home…she was born in the hospital and died in the hospital.
Same, my daughter was killed by the hospital staff and they tried to cover it up and Blame us
My heart goes out to this family. Senseless deaths make it even harder. I am a bereaved mom myself. What this dad says makes sense.
I would add one extra thing. To bereaved parents, it is never ok to take your anger and upset out on each other or anyone else. Even if you have PTSD. Noone deserves abuse.
To non- bereaved parents. It is never ok to tell us we need to " move on" or that there is some sort of time line when we should " get it together" or " get over it". We never will get over loving our children. It doesn't work that way. But the dad is right. Time does ease the pain. But it takes many years to feel the least bit ( new) normal. We need lots of time. There is simply nothing worse.
And I've experienced a lot of bad things. Nothing touches the loss of my darling precious son. He was 21.
I know how you feel, im a mother that loss my son. Theres never a time where we dont stop grieving but we do our best to get through another day. Its been 2 years without my son and to watch him take his last breath just shattered my heart into a million pieces. Its comforting to share your story with others to keep your sons memories alive. Thank you for sharing your story.
man, I don't know why your son was taken from you, but i feel for you. i will pray for you.
I know how you feel, i had lost a sister when she was 17 years old back in 1997 but it seemed so odd that she knew that she was going to die because she parpaired her self with god and accept him in her life and brought peace with our family and brought everybody closer than ever before. Love is a huge factor in our lives. I'm so sorry about your lost of your son .
Praise God
I lost my infant son 10 days ago,i cant stop crying... I am sorry to my little man
Sorry for your loss, how did your baby pass?
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
@@g_mason8867 choked on milk in his sleep!
I lost my little by Kearns swarts 8 years ago the pain is so real still his mommy found him dead at his daycare she rushed him to the hospital you blame yourself but the healing process takes time we were chose as parents to bring gods angels in this world for a short while
Aswill, was it blind cords that took Keems?
Have just lost my son 5days ago this is the most painful moment you feel life is useless and why you came to the world keron Bukenya will always miss u God have mercy to everyone undergoing this situation
❤ ❤ ❤
I lost my son just before his 6th birthday to sepsis 💔 I feel your pain ! no parent should ever feel like this. sending love and strength ❤
Thank you. You are very kind. God provides strength.
Thank you for this video. So validating and comforting to know that I'm not alone. I lost a baby girl ten years ago but still feel the pain of losing her. It never ends but grateful that she came into my life. Her birth and death opened my eyes to the abuse in my marriage. I'm divorced and free from the abuse. It still hurts though.
