Lemonade Instead
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 11 พ.ย. 2020
My name is Amy Buckley and I am here to discuss all things related to grief, mental health, and trauma as well as the happy stuff!
Life can be hard, but it doesn’t have to suck.
I am a firm believer that pain and happiness can coexist.
I became a twinless twin at 20 due to a gun accident that I was witness to and after a decade of both personal and professional work, I’m ready to share my experience and knowledge with other grievers in hopes of helping them carry their grief and their happiness together too.
Join me to live your best life possible with the lemons life has given you and together we can make #lemonadeinstead

Lemonade Instead took a little break while our family went through our last 6 month deployment. Happy to say we’re back together as a family and I can start back up on here! We are grateful for all who have supported us along this journey.

Thx so much 4 this video, im going 2 my classmates memorial service this evening 💔
Don't overthink it. Just be respectful, warm and kind. Everything will be okay.
This is extremely helpful. My mother’s funeral service is next week and I have extreme anxiety at the thought of my aunt and cousins being there. While my mom was on her last days in the hospital they criticized my siblings and I, and angrily lashed out at us in the hospital waiting room. My Aunt and cousin almost physically attacked me. We invited them to service out of respect for our mother, but they make me feel extremely uncomfortable.
ty for this bc im in a soccer team and my teammates mom passed away…
Thank you for this.. my friend passed away earlier this week and her funeral is coming up. I am very nervous so I appreciate this ❤
She was 20 and my cousin. I don’t know if I can go. I took in the emotions part in and I think it’s best I stay away. She was having a tough time before she went and I felt I couldn’t help her so I coped by growing very distant from her. We were raised as sisters but I feel that I was not important enough in her last years to feel how I feel and have the reaction I know I’ll have when I see her body. Is there any way to respectfully not go? Ik if I say it’s too much it’ll feel shallow.
Thank you so much. I am going to my first funeral tomorrow. My 90 year old grandmother. I have severe social anxiety and have not seen many of my family members for years, so I’m very nervous. I appreciate your comforting words. Xx
Am I supposed to offer to go to a funeral with my boyfriend? It's for his grandmother. I have a hard time looking at dead people and don't want to make people feel worse that are grieving.
You can say "if you want me to go with you I can, for support. But it's fine if you want to go alone." But if you knew his grandmother and wanted to go you can or if you didn't you can still offer. But also if you don't want to go then do not unless he asks then at least think about it
How beautiful you are
Thanks for this. It is unbelievable how many people have no idea how to act and what to wear etc. Very good points to consider. With flowers, some people are allergic and can't have flowers around at all. My dad lived through the depression and food was a concern throughout his life. When he passed my cousin's sent a memorial donation in his honor. We didn't have any services because of covid and had not made any mention of memorials. I gave the donation to the food pantry in our home town. I found out that they could buy food cheaper than i could so the cash went further that way. I just found out that one of the high school classes made a donation to the home town library in his honor too. I was so pleased as my dad loved to read.
Thanks for your video. I am Muslim and I have never been in Christianity funeral but I have to go today because my professor's wife died 😢 and I live in California. Again thank you so much 💗 But you didn't mention what color of flowers do I take it... And you are so pretty
Nice job Amy. Sorry to hear about your sister. God Bless Her. This all shows how strong you have been through years and the importance of what you do to make others strong in the case of grieving
All the girls and women in my family wore a cap and fishnet veil, while the men had their faces completely covered by a black bodysuit, which looks like Slenderman’s black face. And everybody had their eyes closed the whole time.
We requested people wear purple for my sister’s memorial also! It was her favorite color. 💜
I tried to find you on Instagram to thank you for your feedback! Let me know when you’re back 💛
@@lemonadeinstead7218 hey, I’m just taking a little break on Instagram and Facebook while I make some big life decisions lol. I’ll be back on there eventually. 😊😊
As always, spot on...I will admit I have missed two celebration of life gatherings since the death of my daughter because I simply can not cope. Maybe that will change one day...and maybe it won't. Either way, it is my grief and my choice. Thank you for always empowering us!!
you prolly dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend lately :)
@Collin Joey Yup, have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself =)
Im sorry for your loss.... ❤
Can’t wait to see what you create and how many people you are able to reach and help! Next step, book deal. 🤗🤗
Thanks Brianna. 💛 Your support means more to me than you know. I hate what we’re bonded over, but thankful to have found you.
