I have lost my entire family and this past January I lost my significant other! I know how much it hurts. I lost one brother in 96, my father in 07, another brother in 09, my mother in 20 and the love of my life in 01/25! He's right about never getting over it!

He is right, you won't ever get over it ~ accept it & embrace it. I think of someone who died and I think about them every day.

my 4 year old son died in my arms in June of 2018. there's never a day that passes that I don't grieve, and yearn for him. time doesn't heal all wounds. you just learn a new way of living.

I don’t know how my mother did it. She lost three kids before she passed.🙏🏼 my two brothers died of cancer, and my sister died of cystic fibrosis🙏🏼 I feel the same 💕way. I haven’t been the same since my sister passed because she was my best friend.

Grief is the hardest emotion we tend with. It never goes away, you must carry it with you. We grieve lost loved ones, we grieve missed opportunities, we grieve many many things and often there is no resolve. I will take the opportunity to share here since many here might find this useful. This is a little trick I developed to help handle my grief. I call it the backpack. Think of grief as if it were a heavy object (it is very heavy right) now think of this, if you were to carry a heavy object with both hands in front of you, what happens? It's awkward, it gets real heavy real fast, your hands hurt, then your arms, then your shoulders. The heavy object is tying your hands up, you can't do anything bc you're holding this heavy object. You can't even see in front of you, this heavy object is in between you, and everything ahead. Insert "The backpack" -

only advice is give your life to the Lord...our kids have grown up with to high percentage of sadness and fear...particularly from the internet and the government.... These kind of things said are not good for the children or the human beings that suffer...🙏pray for the people that are negative...that's what Jesus w ants. also The immaculate Mother, The Lord, and the Holy Spirit 🙏

my dad killed himself when I was 9. I'm almost 37 now. it's true. I've never gotten over it. I just learned to swallow the pain better over the years. since that day, there hasn't been one day in all those years where I dont think about him. not a single one. he was 38 yrs old.

loss is such a profound hurt. We love hard and we grieve hard. Some days are good and some aren't. I still cry every time I think about one of my loved ones who's gone now. Love your people and say it and show it often. You never know when the last time will be.

Grief is a chronic disease. I too lost my brother and his words resonate with me. You never get over grief, you just learn to live with it. It's been 20 yrs for me.

One gets through it (the loss, the funeral, burial) and get past it, continuing to go through the day-to-day, but never gets over it.

I didn't want to, went out to not want to, but I like him so much as an actor. I talk to my brother ,who I lost. everyday. But there is no embracing it , because, my other 2 brothers are responsible for his demise. We no longer speak. My brother left me 1-2 his estate and my older brother stole 100 percent of it. (he and my other brother)
