How far out from your loss are you? Comment below! ❤
Praying for all who have lost a child. It's been almost 19 months and I miss him so much.
Sending you love. ❤️
I am at 28 months~ I cry every day and sometimes still cant believe my son is really gone.
You are so brave to be able to post photos. I STILL cannot look at the photos in my phone. I have 4 photos in frames that I am used to seeing but to go thru the 100’s in my photo~ at places we went, things we did takes my breath away. I just cannot do it. Working on it in therapy. No panic attacks anymore, tho.
I put a giant purple bow on out mailbox on Blake’s birthday and passing day. I have a purple memory garden for Blake and a memorial wall in my house.
It never gets easier~ the brick in my heart will always be there. I miss him with every ounce of my being.😔💜
I'm so very sorry for the loss of Blake... I love the things you are doing in his memory. ❤️ The photos are definitely hard -- I have to prepare myself ahead of time, and I always cry. If it's a normal day I try to avoid looking at any. I set aside time to go through them for my videos. 💔
Sorry for your loss, praying
I’m so sorry, I lost my son same year 3 months after. 😢 forever 25 years old. Loosing a child there’s no words how it hurts so bad.. 😢❤
Libby sounds like was such a special girl. 👼. Hard to understand these losses😢 you are keeping her legacy alive, how great.
Thank you. She was amazing. ❤️
I am so sorry for your Loss of your Beautiful Daughter.
It Hurts me to see you Hurting.😢
Just seeing you push through everyday gives me the strength to get through the Day.
It feels harder after the First year. I was told the Fog has lifted after the first year and you recognize your loved one is not coming back.
You just HURT all over!!
My Son passed away 19 months ago.
Everyone tells us it gets easier.😢
Thank you for sharing your Journey, it helps me to know we are not alone .
God Bless you always 🙏
Thank you for watching and being part of the community. ❤️
Brooke...I am so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful Libby...also I am so proud of you and all you do in her memory which has touched my heart and I'm sure many more...it is 7 years since I lost my son and I understand the feeling of it just happening...my life is forever changed..I love and miss my son ...his beautiful blue eyes...his hugs...his love of family and his amazing big heart ...keep doing all you do in Libby's memory...I look forward to all you post...take care and many prayers for you and your family💙
Your son sounds wonderful, just like Libby. ❤️
hi. i was a friend of libby. i am so sorry for your loss. i think about her everyday, and i just wanted to reach out. i know youre grieving right now, and i feel it too. idk if this will help or make it worse, but i just wanted to tell you how amazing your daughter was. she was always apart of my life, we would sometimes talk and play together. in 4th grade i was bullied a lot and she was the only person who stuck up for me. she was my best friend, also my only friend. i dont know if she felt the same, but she made me feel safer coming to school, knowing i wouldnt be alone. we would call and text on messanger kids and talk about silly stuff. i am doing better now. i try to help people because of what she did to help me. she quite literally saved my life. i was going through some really bad depression, among other stuff. she kept me alive. i sometimes feel like i am replacing her, because now i have a single person who sticks up for me. nobody else cares, but that person does. i think they would be friends. all the middle school teachers would adore her. i am so sorry. i miss her soo much. i cannot imagine what you are going through.
Oh Zoey... Thank you so much for this. I'm so glad Libby was there to help you when you needed it, and I'm glad that you've found someone else to support you. Your memory of her means so very much. Sending you HUGE hugs. ❤️❤️
@@brookecarlock thank you. you did an awesome job with her. im sorry for your loss💗💗
Sweet!! 💞
I am so so so sorry for your loss. And for your friends who had fire😢 Your daughter is so beautiful 💞 sending you love, hugs, support. Thank you for sharing what you are going through. I also lost my son, who was just 3 y.o in a car accident in January this year. It hurts like hell😢😢😢
I am so sorry for the loss of your son. It absolutely hurts like hell. 💔
I'm sending you big hugs & lots of love. From my heart to yours. 🥰🙏
Right back at ya! ❤️
My heart hurts for you grief is so freaking hard. My husband will be gone two years in May and his birthday is on Saturday. I know what you mean it’s still so hard to believe that he’s not here. What I have been feeling lately, and I don’t know if this is normal or common, but I’ll look at a picture of him and I’ll think was he really here? I feel like that life was a dream and now I’ve woken up and this is really my life. I know he was here I have two beautiful sons we were together for over 40 years. It just feels so weird. Praying for you and I know Libby is so so proud of you❣️
Thank you so much for your kind words, and yes -- I know exactly what you mean about wondering if they were really here. Grief is so weird.
It's been 2 yrs and 4 months and his 35th birthday is March the 4th.... I am still trying to live and accept my "new me"... : (
Thinking of you as your son’s birthday approaches. May God give you only the peace He can.
Brooke it hurts to see you hurting and yet your beautiful smile is such a blessing. It’s been 4 months now . My beautiful daughter was 54yrs . So much to say. Apart from my other daughter who shares with me no one checks on us on a regular basis. I think they don’t know what to say. It is our Jesus that we turn to. I am glad my daughters extraordinary suffering is now over, that is some solace but I ache for her so. To hug her again. Ramble on dear Brooke you are such a beautiful soul. ❤️🦋🇦🇺
Thank you so much for your kind words... Sending love back to you. ❤️
It's been just about a little over a year ... You know.... You just miss them....I think oh if you would just walk thru that front door ...❤ Grieving is a journey for sure....The waves are so real. Again believing in God and heaven for me, has been so helpful ..my goodbye is not final ,because I believe with my heart I will see him again...that is just my belief...everyone journey is personal and different...I respect that....
If only they could walk through the door for one more hug.
It's been 575 days since losing Ben. There are days I feel almost numb, then others the pain is like no other. I still experience the feeling that I'm in the wrong world & that somehow I need to find a way back to my world where Ben is still here and my family is still whole. That world is still bright. But I'm incredibly grateful that I can think of him, remember him, replay all my memories & i can feel joy that he was mine. I can laugh at the silly memories & feel pride at the man he was. That in itself is huge progress.
I also have a memorial at the place he passed. 99% of people in my life don't understand why on earth I would want to decorate it for the seasons & keep it weeded & nice for him. I tell them that as hard as it is to go there, it's also important to me because that's the last place he was. At that tree, my baby took his last breath. People hate that tree, but it's not the tree's fault. I can't go there without being prepared or I get flashbacks of the crash scene. But I go when I feel ready & I think he would be proud of me for that.
Love you and the work you are doing.❤
This sounds so much like me... I relate to everything you just said. Thank you for sharing and sending you huge hugs.
Great explanation of the button with grief.
Thank you... it was on the fly but I hope it made sense!
No words ! You are an inspiration.
I am only 9 weeks into my grief journey.
And it’s a struggle every day. Sending you love and hugs ❤
Ugh, 9 weeks. My heart aches for you. Sending you so much love.
@@brookecarlock Thank you ❤️

Brooke i am so sorry for your loss of Libby. You are very brave, and we all love you. I lost my 30yo daughter, Ashly, 1 1/2 years ago. She had such a zest for life. She also left behind her fiance and my 4yo grandson, Giovanni. It breaks my heart that he lost his Mama. He looks exactly like her. She's missing everything😢😢
I'm so sorry about your daughter... I'm sure it's both amazing and painful that Giovanni looks so much like her. 💔. Sending hugs.
Thank you so so much for sharing this video, Brooke. You help me so so very much, just by sharing. Really sad to hear about what happened with Libby’s memorial site. It’s coming up to two years since my beautiful precious daughter, Paris passed, so this video, in particular, really helped. Sending you lots and lots of love and hugs xxxxxx❤️💞❤️
Sending love back to you. Thank you for your kind words.
Many prayers and strength for you. An unbearable loss, such a beautiful girl.
Thank you... She was beautiful. 💔
I will be thinking of you in the coming weeks. Libby’s death was a tragedy! You do what you need to do for you ❤
Thank you so much. ❤️
It's been 30 months for us. The 2nd year has definitely harder than the first.
I think the first year you're still just going through the motion and in a continuous fog.
The 2nd year, reality hit...for us anyway..
Yesterday, I was thinking of my son while I was cleaning ( huge step btw)
But a song came in my head.
Rain drops keep falling on my head.
You should listen to the words...the last 5 years we have many deaths of family, and close pets, one thing after another. And that song just...I don't know, it's just what I needed t o hear.
Love and hugs to us all! This is not a journey I would wish on anyone and my heart goes out to us all!!
I agree-- the fog is real that first year, and then when it lifts, UGH. I know the song but haven't really paid attention to the lyrics -- I'm going to give them a listen!
Just wanted to say hello and let you know that i was thinking of you hoping today was as kind to you and your family as it could be...and the plans you all had for today. 🙏❤️
Thank you so much! We got her memorial rebuilt and went to the Olive Garden because it was her favorite restaurant... Tried to honor her as best as we could. ❤️
Mine is coming in March and it's tough
Sending strength and hugs. ❤️
🫂
I wake up everyday just to die again.
