Thank you for sharing your feelings - it is appreciated ❤

Just seen this post today.

Hi Samantha first of all I'm sending you a heart felt HUG ❤️ x I also lost my beautiful son x 2021 and it still feels like yesterday. Thank you for putting into words how it feels and we'll never be ok and the world should understand that but not many people do . Haven't been on any of the retreat yet I've not found the strength to go but seeing others like yourself going and finding a safe place to say just how we feel is something I need to do . Thank you ❤️ xxx

Thank you for the service you provide. Its a club no one ever wanted to be in. I lost my 21 year old daughter Christina in a car accident in 2017. The compassionate network is a blessing. I would like to participate in some way as well.

Thank you so much

Oh Jane, thank you so much! I am a newly bereaved mother of my oldest and one and only son. He was killed in a horrific way when riding his motorbike to work. It is so fresh in my mind, only 3 weeks ago and to find you are putting into words something I thought could never be. I am stuck in a state of shock, reliving his accident, reliving the 2 sheriffs coming up to my door. I don't know how I am going to get through this, but you put into words a small glimmer. Thank you!

What do you think of Nicola Bulley?

I lost my youngest son on the 22nd August 2023 in a car accident on his way from school he was 15 years old,it really hurts too deep how do i move on from this trauma?

Am so sorry for your loss particularly when Fabian was only 19. I lost my son Michael who took his own life at 32 in April this year . I won't go into the manner of death but cocaine was in his system. My question is why the Police are not involved due to who supplied the drugs and therefore are in my mind implies a 3rd party involvement, how does the coroner weigh up whether it was a deliberate form of suicide or whether it was an accidental overdose ?Thank you Sinead, Cornwall

Incredible!!! THANK YOU ❤

Are these online meetings still taking place? I would love to attend. I lost my 14 year old son, 15 months ago.

Do you guys still do videos

thank you this has been very helpful !!

Thank you , just found this when trying to find tips before the inquest into my sons suicide. It was whilst in mental health care, so is complicated but this has given me some help. Very useful

If I have breath, he has breath got to me, thank you.

I had a baby I was at 24 weeks along. I had hormonal infection story short I had the baby boy lived a hour and a half and passed away after on December 21, 2018. Later on when I came home and was with my family and my family members said that we are not parents, even if we lost a child, that’s one thing I had to deal with when I was going through loss and grief.

I lost my daughter Kathy, 4months ago. I need. someone to talk to??

I really got a lot out of Janes talk. She said things I’ve never heard before. Very helpful.

How do I go on? What to do? Personally, I was reborn when my son disappeared after the substraction by his father. First, I was lost, doing what Joanne recommends: dwelling in pain, paralyzed, histerical and full of guilt. But this is like watching the finger while you are missing the whole heavenly glory. Dear grieving mom/dad: you got to choose!!!! Give your situation a new sense: you are free now. Your child is not with you anymore. My son León is not with me anymore. That's reality. We got to get in contact with reality, brothers and sisters!! Not dwell in the past, spend time in the garden with this imaginary son, feeling guilty for laughing. Would your child like that about you? Of course not!!!! He/she would want to see us happy!!!! (And you know that) So, choose to be happy. Yes, it is a choice. Joanne Cacciatore sais it is not. Buda sais it is. I know it is. Science and religion have proven it.... It doesn't matter who is right or wrong. The reality is that now you and me, we are free from our child, so that is a second opportunity by itself, an opportunity to do it better now, to go higher, to become better, to build a life that would make our child proud, to pursue that dream we had before all that (like traveling to Japan, travel the world, start a business, make folk music, make love everyday, masturbate, go vegan, invest in real estate...). Science proofed we can heal ourselves from terminal diseases. <Look Joe Dispenza>. DO NOT FEEL GUILTY FOR CHOOSING HAPPINESS. HAPPINESS IS OUR CORE BEING. DO NOT KEEP WATCHING THE FINGER OR YOU WILL MISS ALL THAT HEAVENLY GLORY.<by Bruce Lee> On Mother's Day, I make a cake and make a party at a local orphanage. They are happy and I get a chance to be mom for a day. That fills our heart, theirs and mine. Dear grieving mom/dad: love yourself so much that your heart loves everyone around you so everybody can feel and wanna be next to your high gravitational vibration, so you are a blessing to this world, because YOU ARE ALIVE!!!! LIFE KEEPS YOU ALIVE BECAUSE LIFE WANTS YOU TO LIVE: SO LIVE FULLY!!!!<by Magdalena Tecles>

Such a wonderful organization. The strength of these people is incredible.

What do you make of the attack on Prince Harry regarding his grief? I said: No no no no don't you dare undermine the extent of anyone's grief or judge it. To say you can discipline your grief to make it go away is not only obscenely non empathetic, but ludicrous. This grief is Harry's journey. Mock him at whatever you like but never throw stones at the grieving. Tomorrow it could be you. How would you cope? Stop judging and being cruel.

Simply beautiful, thankyou so very much🥰

Thank you for doing this, as a parent that just lost an adult child, I'm looking for some answers, relief from the pain

Thank you for this, lost my 42 yr old son due to massive heart attack 5 days ago. Not sure I can go on.

Thank you so much for this passionate presentation and making me meet your gorgeous son, James. I lost my only child 98 days ago and my pain is so raw now. You give me a lot of hope. Thank you so much. Helen

Very helpful but a word of warning! Only talk to a trusted friend! This is from experience xx

I have been watching this every day since my son suddenly died. Thank you.💔

My cousin and his wife wife just suddenly lost their 15 year old son two days ago in a routine surgery. What do I say? He is out of state and so I want to send a card or letter. I refuse a Facebook “consolation”!

My life without my son will be the longest journey.

Thank you for your story. I just lost my son on 8-15-22. Your calming voice and thoughts gives me solace.

I just finished Dr. Cacciatore's book, Bearing the unbearable. It's a great read, very insightful. I'm planning on gifting the book to a couple of my relative. Thank you for bringing your compassion and knowledge to the public. I think it will help a lot of people struggling with grief. Many blessings..

This was a beautiful talk from a beautiful spirit and it helped me a lot.❤️ It settled my anxious grief and gave me many concepts to continue to think about and feel that will be helpful moving forward.

Wonderful common sense grief Tips on the journey to find joy, I would highly recommend recommend both books

Dell 😆😽She’s a comfort. Pretty kitty.

I really liked this talk. Barbara. You kept it simple which was incredibly helpful to me - thank you. You made so much sense of our own experience and honoured that and no intention to take advice. But to listen to our own gut, It was the first talk that i Have listened to at Compassionate Friends until the end. That actually made some sense and honoured my feelings. I heard a talk on the compassionate friends once that was very well received .And extolled. At the end of her talk she said after giving all these amazing buddhist stuff etc. She said her husband was her anchor and she could not imagine doing it alone or how we people (on our own) did it she could not imagine! I was wondering at the time should I go out and chuck myself off the roof! As I am alone. And that for me is dishonouring to the conception of the Buddhist Theory I learned before my son died. Sorry to bring this into the feedback of your video and I will play your video again and again. Thank you so much Barbara fran xxx

Thank you. Lots to take away. Just want to say we are alone in loosing our specific and unique child. But we are not alone in the grief journey. Hugs to all. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
