I Am Enough: Taking Care of Our Bodies
Hi Sherry, I'm catching up on your videos. Grief is something that is hard to talk about because it affects people differently. It's something you can't put a timeline on. But I think we should talk about it. We should be able to help each other and support each other. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your store with us. You're a true blessing to so many. Pam
Hi Pam! I've been missing you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. ♥
It will be very nice if you could do a video or several videos😊 about grief, it is a subject that I love to know more about,
♥
I so needed this at this very moment…….thank you❤I was going down a rabbit hole about my son’s suicide 10 years ago…….resurgence of questions and what if’s……..but this video popped in and I watched it. I realized that even if God stood right in front of me and explained everything about my son’s death - it wouldn’t be enough. I need to let go, trust and be at peace. That is what He asks of me….thank you for a lovely reminder.
Hi Veronica. I am so sorry for the pain you've gone through with your son's death. Thanks for watching the video and letting me know it encouraged you. That is such a blessing to me. I pray the Lord's peace and comfort will fill your heart. ♥
I do think some videos regarding grief would be well received and much appreciated. 😌 ❤-Brenda
♥
Sherry, you are so precious. God bless you. ❤
Thank you very much♥

Yes, when my oldest son was born I had such dreams for him. But he when through a lot and after he was a year old I knew he wouldn’t be doing the thing’s I dreamed of. In May Dennis will be 31 years old. God has blessed me and my family in ways I would never have imagined. God’s blessings to you and your family! ❤️🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing, Kathy! Dennis sounds like a great guy! Blessings to you♥
I saw your channel and clicked on it. just lostst my sister and I am so heartbroken. Your voice is so soothing. I will have to look for that book. Thank you for sharing.
I am so sorry Linda. My heart goes out to you. I am praying for you right now, that the Lord will bring you comfort. ♥️ I hope to do some future videos on this topic.
Thank you so much for your prayers.
Thank you, Sherry.
♥️
I would definitely like more videos on grieving...this is a much needed subject for many...me included
Your earrings are beautiful
Thank you Anna!
Sherry we too have a daughter that left and no longer wants to be in our lives. I think most people keep it hidden because people who this has not happened to will judge and not understand. Until this happened to us I would never have thought a child could do such a thing unless the parents messed up badly somewhere. Now I know better. I’m so sorry that this has happened to you too but there is much comfort in knowing that we’re not alone. Thank you for sharing and all of your encouraging messages. I truly love you.
Thanks for sharing this, friend. I am so sorry this has happened with your daughter. There are many emotions you feel when you go through something like this. But I have found a lot of support and acceptance by opening my heart about it. When we can express our pain, it creates an avenue for others to gain understanding and show compassion. That's when healing begins. Love you, 'bobba.'♥️
Hello Sherry. I just listened to your video on grief. I’m not sure if you would call this grief but my husband and I are taking care of my mother in law. She has dementia and she going down fast. My husband works and I stay home with her. My life has completely changed but I care for her 24/7. I guess I feel trapped. It is very hard to get her out by myself so we stay at home a lot. Anyway, thank you for your encouraging words.
Hi Becky. I am sorry about your mother-in-law and her issues with dementia. It's such a challenging disease. I admire your desire to take care of her at home. Since you are providing 24/7 care, I can see where this might become overwhelming to you. This can cause you to grieve the loss of the life you once had. I pray that you might find a solution to this, Becky. Perhaps someone could help you an hour or two per week, allowing you to get out for some time by yourself. You might try calling your local Council on Aging and see if they have assistance available. Praying for you, friend. ♥️
Greetings Sherry! This was just what I needed. I found myself in tears as you spoke. Yes, I would love more about grief and recovery from loss. Thank you so much for being there! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Thanks for watching, Jean. Love you. ♥️
Yes please share grieving ❤
Thank you Sherry😢 Lost Ken on 26 December 2024, very raw pain 🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊
I am so sorry, Sylvia. I have been praying for you, friend. ♥️
You are such a great comfort to me and to others, im sure. Big hug to you. Blessings!!
Thank you so much, NIlda. Blessings, friend. ♥️
I know that this video was 7 years ago, but I really needed to hear this today. Thank you for reminding me that God doesn't let our past disqualify us from the future. Still struggling to let go, still waiting to know my calling. Your videos and your prayers are appreciated!
Thank you for sharing this comment with me. I'd almost forgotten this video since it has been so long ago. The truth is, we are all disqualified. But our weaknesses, when placed in Jesus' hands, can be transformed for his glory. Have you watched my recent video on letting go? That's one that I can't get off my mind and heart. I will link it below, in case you haven't seen it. Praying blessings on you, friend. ♥ th-cam.com/video/3aR3u0xb3NI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=p8fT5VD8UHWnWOd1
Hi Sherry, I love your videos! I wanted to ask about you about your crockpot recipe. Did you marinate your chicken thighs in bottled Italian dressing, or was it the dry mix for Italian dressing? How long did you marinate them? It sounds yummy, I would like to try it.
Hi Jeannine! I marinated them in bottled dressing. You can let them marinate in the fridge overnight or, if you forgot and are running short of time, you can simply add the dressing to the slow cooker. I hope you enjoy it!
As a survivor of violence since I was a child, that didn't end until I was in my early 30s and had 5 children with two in Heaven.... Thank you. Bad counsel from pastors that urged me to stay has done more damage to mainly my children than I can describe. This sharing time was like a balm to my soul. I thank Jesus for you, Sherry. 🦋 Margaret Elaine
Margaret Elaine, I am so sorry for what you have experienced. But praise the Lord, you are a survivor! It saddens me to think of those who stay in harmful situations, especially using the counsel of those they trusted most. I am glad you are safe now, friend. I'm sending hugs of rejoicing. I pray that your children are now experiencing health and peace. ♥
I admire and respect you. A warm hug. Love from Costa Rica.
Thank you very much, Maria. ♥
Thank you for this, Sherry. I sometimes feel like grief has been my closest companion all my life, welcome or not. Lately it feels a bit like a straight jacket at times. Making it hard to function. So thankful the Lord is closer than the pain and loss, and that he is my lighthouse guiding me through these tumultuous seas. Blessings on you always. 🦋 Margaret Elaine
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings, Margaret Elaine. I love your vision of the Lord being a lighthouse. That's imagery I can embrace. Love and blessings to you, friend. ♥
I’ve had a lot of grief in my life and now it is y life….I’m 73 but last 2 years my health has went down… I wasn’t finish… so much I planned on doing …I don’t want to feel sorry for myself ..I get so lonely ..I need this study..I’m going to writ e the questions in the journal thanks Sherry..I didn’t finish last night…♥️♥️♥️my love and prayers to you Sherry
Thank you for sharing this, Sandy. I hope writing and releasing your thoughts in this book will be a blessing to you. I pray the Lord brings hope and healing moving forward, friend. Love to you!♥
🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing your story about your son. I know it is painful. My sister has a similar story to yours regarding her son Paul, my nephew. A lot of ups and downs. Although it's challenging, we remain hopeful and prayerful. God bless you and your youtube ministry!
Thank you so much, Dee. I love your mindset: Hopeful and Prayerful. This is my aim. Blessings to you and your sister, friend. ♥️
Death is so painful and very difficult time of grieving. Some of the other sorrows you shared can be even more difficult than death. With death, people want to participate in the situation and bring comfort. Loving a prodigal child or losing a mate to divorce is a deep sorrow, but there are no flowers or meals brought in, people often leave folks alone with their broken hearts. This is when we are pressed more deeply into Christ alone, but some suffering is lonelier than other suffering. It's important to realize that all suffering people need extra loving care.
Amen, friend. I have said this often myself. There is something final about death, that allows the completion of grief. Not that grief ends but that it's there and, as you said, recognized by others. You can receive compassion and care more readily. But other types of grief are open-ended....more shameful (for some reason)...more isolating. I appreciate that you mentioned this.
I don't think I have ever stopped grieving. Things, loss, retirement, aloneness and it never stops.
I am so sorry, Denise. I am praying for you right now, friend...that Jesus will give you peace in this moment. ♥️
Thank you Shery, you are always so honest and open. I appreciate your videos, they are such a blessing to me. God bless you
Thank you Carolina. I appreciate you spending time with me in this video. Blessings to you.♥
This is a wonderful mission. Grief is powerful, overwhelming and the enemy can use it to damage your relationship with the Heavenly Father but, God can strengthen it beyond measure. There are many types of grief from loss of a friendship, a parent, even that parent's entire career, friends etc. leaves your family. A person may grieve when a disease diagnosis changes everything and a way of life. There are so many kinds of loss.
Absolutely. I think sometimes we only associate grief with loss through death. But there are many things that can create grief in our hearts.
Sherry, I am a hospice chaplain and deal with patients and families dealing with grief on a daily basis. Your encouragement to write out thoughts and prayers is so important in the grief process. I’ve had much formal training and education about grief, but it is the daily process of facing our grief that brings healing. There is no set timeline, as each person processes grief differently. If grief is present due to death of a loved one, there may be a period of time that a person feels in shock or may feel numb, but in time, the daily practice of journaling or writing out feelings is a pathway to recovery. This is such a useful video and I know it will be helpful to many.
Thank you for sharing from your wisdom and experience, Beverly. As someone who is a writer by nature, I find that putting pen to paper is a bit part of the letting go process. ♥
It has been for me too. There is something about picking up a pen and seeing your words on paper that seems to help and validates our feelings. And in time, to go back and see how The Lord carried you through the dark times. Your words today have been so full of compassion and although The Lord did not cause your grief, He is using your tender heart and experience with grief to help others walk their grief journey.
Thank you so much for sharing this, and sharing yourself. I am hoping this will be of help to a friend of mine. I think more videos on the topic of grief would be helpful.
Thank you for watching Julie and for sharing with your friend. Blessings to both of you!♥
This is exactly what I needed today! Thank you for explaining that grief feelings are not always due to a loss of a loved one to death. I have this same style book but it is for scripture memory. God Bless and keep all who grieve today.
Thank you for watching and sharing this comment, Anna. Sending hugs.♥
Good afternoon Sherry, thanks a lot for this beautiful video . I lost my husband back in 2007 but I still miss him. I have 2 children, my son is good but my daughter wants nothing to do with me.I am dealing with a lot of grief right now also a lot of health problems .Everytime I see one of your videos. I watch . You sure are a blessing to me. Love and God Bless❤️🙏🏻
Hi Carolyn. I'm so sorry for your health issues and the situation with your daughter. Both things can compound sadness and grief. I pray the Lord will encourage you with his peace. Sending love and blessings, friend. ♥
All in God’s timing! I ordered one, and it’s what I need. Thank you Ms. Sherry. ❣️
Thank you Sherry for this video. I lost my husband more than five years ago and I have accepted it. However, now I am grieving the loss of our daughter who hasn’t communicated with me since the end of October. It is very painful, and I have reached out with text “offering an olive branch” to bring healing, but she hasn’t responded.
I am so sorry, Kathy. There aren't words to make these things better. Jesus is the only one who can sustain us in our grief. My mama has always said, "Where there's life, there's hope." And I cling to that hope that can only be found in Jesus. Thanks for sharing about your daughter with me. I will pray for her right now. ♥
@ Thank you Sherry…all prayers are very much appreciated. God’s Blessings!!
What a blessing you are! I love the idea of that little book. I have two out of three sons that do not speak to me. Long story, but their dad told them many lies about me. I never thought about the fact that it is grief that I have felt over this. Thank you friend, for turning your camera on and saying what the Holy Spirit lays on your heart! I love you! 💜
Thank you so much Kathy! This video was not the one I even intended to film. It was quite spontaneous for me to share it so I know it was the Holy Spirit at work. Thank you for sharing about your sons. I lift them up to the Lord, asking him to give them opportunities to get things right in their hearts. I love you, my friend!💜
This video was a blessing, Sherry. ♥️ I have always associated “grief” with death of a loved one. But after this “visit” with you, I can see I have allowed grief to overshadow many of my days while I go about doing the needed things on the outside, yet my heart was heavy on the inside. I am in my 60’s, and I am struggling with health issues and our retirement is far from what I had dreamed it would be.😢 We are good and my husband helps me with the household chores and has been a blessing to me over the years and took care of me after my many surgeries. Thank you for sharing this, your thoughts and hurts as well. You are such a blessing and precious friend to me. I love you! Have a blessed day.♥️🥰♥️
Hi Drema....Health issues can really get us down. It affects more than our bodies. It puts limitation in place that we have no control over and that can be frustrating. Then, it can affect our emotions too. I am glad you and your husband have each other for support. That's a blessing. And I am thankful to have you for a friend. Sending lots of love and hugs to you!♥
@ Bless you, Sherry. ♥️ Having your friendship and prayers mean more than words can say. Again I want to tell you that you have been such a blessing and an uplift to my life. Lots of love and hugs!♥️🤗♥️
Thank you so much for your encouragement- I am sure there are many of us who needed this ❤ May the Lord continue to bless your ministry, marriage, and family.
Thank you for spending time with me in this video. I appreciate your thoughtful message. God bless you!♥
