God be with you just remember you are stronger then you realize. I know how it is to be in constant pain form your hip both of mine are bad and also have breathing problem . What I do is use a walker with chair on it roll myself in kitchen and cook like that cooking is also my joy while I am unAble to do as much as I use to I don’t let the pAin take control I push through it and cook when ever possible .the walker is called a Rollator
Jan, so sorry you’re feeling sad. I thinking of you and sending positive vibes. Glad you are having family and friends near you. Take care. I love your videos. I hope you feel better very soon!
I have been beside myself worrying about you. You have no idea what it means to see you and hear your voice. I had back surgery in 2015 and l can only do things at anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes at a time and then go sit down to relax my sciatic nerve. It takes me all day to accomplish cleaning one room. After l fix supper l am done for the day because of the pain and stiffness. We have to adjust and give up so much as we age. If it wasn't for a lot of prayer and accepting things as they are l would have to just give up. I am 75 and my joy of having several flower beds has diminished to a couple. But l still enjoy them. I love you and pray for you and Randy every night. Take care of yourself.
Please know you are not alone. I have been hospitalized in the mental health issues twice. It truly helped me. I’m proud of you for getting the help you need.
I'm telling you, you are not alone with the depression issue. Its like a epidemic or something right now. I'm glad that u got the help u needed and that family has moved home. God bless you Jan, I love you ❤️
Sounds like a good plan having family with you to help. The little one will lift your spirits. Depression hits all of us with medical issues. So happy you did a video for us. Much love and prayer sweet friend. ❤ hugs
Depression is understandable given all you've been through. It's hard to lose your independence. I think having your family move in with you will be helpful for all of you.
Oh, Ms. Jan, this just broke my heart! I'm so sorry that you are hurting. I wish I could take it all away for you. You're such a sweet soul, and I just love you too pieces! I'm glad that you have family living there now that can help! Don't worry about having things planned out for videos. If you just want to hop on and ramble away about nothing, cry, or just vent, we're here for it whenever you feel like you're up to it! Sending you love and healing from Iowa! ❤-Amanda
I'm glad you went to the hospital and got the help you needed. This time don't rush to make videos or cooking videos. Just take it very easy and enjoy your family and that little girl every day. Prayers for you and Randy, take care of each other. So good to see you and hear your voice. Stay well and safe.
Miss Jan, an injury as bad as yours can leave lingering effects long after the injury itself. I'm glad you got yourself checked out. We've been so worried about you. Take care of yourself & go as slow as a snail if you need to. That's perfectly alright.
Dear Jan, I'm so sorry for all you have been through, you are a warrior. I pray that each and everyday that you heal. You've helped so many people with your videos including me. You're a special lady and always bring a kind positive message. I hope making your videos bring you happiness and know that were all here to support you. Sending love ❤️
Mrs Jan ❤ I’m sending you lots of love my dear you’re truly a blessing to each of us here as your supporters and I mean that we are all here for you! I enjoy your company when you post a video over the years you filled this space in my life as a grandmother from a far ❤ I never thought I could care for someone I have never met through watching your amazing videos your truly an incredible woman ♥️ your loved by many people never forget that ❤ take all the time you need I emphasize in your needs I can relate watching my own mom go through depression and I will say be gentle with yourself you’ve given yourself to many things and people for years and years and yes things are slowed down these days and that’s okay enjoy yourself spend time with your grandbaby ❤ lots of love and it’s good knowing you now have your son living with you ❤ family is all you need right now Mrs Jan take good care of your self ❤
So sorry Jan with what you are going through. I was glad to see your video pop up! I was worried. Glad you are doing ok and will continue to pray for you. ❤🙏🏼
Having family stay with you is a good thing for you and Randy. My oldest son moved in with me after my husband passed away, and I thank God every day for him. I know the battle with depression Jan. Sweetheart, you are stronger than you think, so sit back and enjoy the extra help. Lots of love and big hugs to you, Sweet Lady. 🙂❤️
Jan, I don't have the words to express how much I love you and what you've meant to me over the years! During times of deep loss and depression you've been with me. I put your videos on and your voice and cooking sooth me. Many a night I have fallen asleep with my laptop on my lap and your videos playing all night long! I was so glad to see your video just now I gasped and burst into tears! Now please don't over do the videos unless you want to do them...we all just want you to be happy and comfortable . Now go eat something bad!🤣
Hello Jan. With everything you have gone through, it is no wonder you were depressed. I think anyone would have been, I would have been. Your life essentially changed overnight; and you have gone through so many changes and persevered to get to the point you are now. You are one of the strongest women on the planet to have gotten through and endured all you have. I think it is wonderful that your son, his girlfriend and granddaughter are moving in. It must be such a comfort knowing they are there. I love your idea of cooking with your son's girlfriend! I can tell you that I have become a pretty decent cook; and I gave you a LOT of credit for that! We are the same age, and until I started watching your videos, whenever I cooked anything, I measured every little thing. Not anymore! I watched how you eyeball measurements, pour amounts into your hand, and make substitutions in cooking if you don't have something for the recipe. Jan, you have made such a difference to me, not only my cooking but because of the essence of the person you are. You are blessed as is your family, and us for allowing us to be part of your life here on You Tube. Can't wait to see what comes next, but take it one step at a time.
So happy you’re back and feeling better. I would imagine that all that you’re going through is a normal process due to the several life changing events you’re gone through. Also, knowing Randy has been sick weighs heavily on you I’m sure. I think it’s amazing you were able to know you needed help, and took the time to go get treatment. You are an absolute treat ! I know a majority of your Channel has been food related, and that things are different now, but guess what ? When I miss your cooking videos I go WAY back and watch from the beginning days. It’s been fun. I’m just happy to know your safe, back home, and most importantly feeling better. You know how many of us love you even though we have never met you. You are a gem.
It's so good to see you Jan! You've been in my thoughts and prayers and you popped up today! It's very nice to hear your son and his family are living with y'all. Sending you love and hugs! God bless you and your family.🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏
So, so glad to see you back!! Can't tell you how blessed I feel to hear you share your life with us. Good friends do that, and friends are a blessing. Depression is a tough thing to beat, as a lot of us know - but hang in there and with your family's help you will get better and better. Your little granddaughter is medicine for the soul, and she will give you strength and joy. Don't worry about cooking for us, just visit with us with a nice cup of tea and the weather report - a little crocheting in between will do just fine. Hugs.
Love you Jan and you are always in my thoughts and prayers. I have watched your videos for so long and learned so much from what you have shared. You have given me a chuckle here and there, and I have admired your strength in dealing with life. Your "finds" are so entertaining and thank you for sharing all with us. I loved the videos with your funny daughter. You rest knowing that all of our love is in your heart, and we are here for you every day. If I can reach through this video screen, I would give you a great big hug but please accept this one [HUGS] and know it is sent from my heart to yours. God Bless you sweet lady. ♥
We have our son living with us to help with the "heavy lifting". It is also for the peace of mind. That helps in our recovery--it's LESS to worry about, and can aid in our healing. You are a blessing to all of us, Jan! 🙏🕯
Oh, Jan you have done something kind for so many people! I promise I will do something kind for others as well. When you popped up, I was so thrilled. I’ve really been missing you and worrying about you. I’ve been recovering from a surgery at home since December 21, and it has been kind of depressing. So I can understand a little bit about what you’re going through. I hope you know that for us, just seeing your face, gives a lift to so many people!
You have been such a friend to us all Jan. We missed you. So glad family has moved in with you. God bless you Jan with complete healing in Jesus' name. Amen.
Mrs. Jan I am happy to see you’re hanging in there. I pray God gives you the strength to keep moving on and know he loves you and so do we. Continued prayers going up for you, your husband and family ❤🙏🏽
Oh so good to see you Jan! I figured you went into the hospital. You are in my daily prayers. You look good. I’m glad Caleb and his fiancé and your granddaughter moved in with you and Randy. That is wonderful. You are so special Jan. I love listening to you and I was so happy when I saw this video was up. Well you just take care and know you are so loved by so many of us and so many of us are praying for you.❤ See you soon. XOXO
❤❤❤ As a Jan myself who struggles with depression and health issues (but not nearly as severe as yours sweet lady) I want to send you love and prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻… I knew that anytime I watched your videos, I would be lifted up by your beautiful smile and spirit! You never failed to inspire me to look for the best in others and in life itself. Praying that your recent time in the hospital was helpful to you in finding peace and comfort and strength for your depression. Glad you were able to get away and seek help in dealing with the depression. Always remember there is nothing wrong with asking for help when we need it!! So
You have been missed a lot. Keeping you and Randy in my prayers. I am glad that you went to get some much needed help with the depression. Depression is a awful awful feeling. Take it easy and let the young couple do everything lol. Well almost everything. Sending love and hugs.
Miss Jan, I’m so sorry for the hard struggle you’ve been through. You are an encouragement to those of us who watch you. God is using you! Always remember that. Our prayers are with you.
Oh, Jan, it's so good to hear from you!!! We have worried about you so much! I thought your absence was probably due to the infection on your arms. You are brave to talk about your time in the hospital. Many of your followers have been there, or cared for someone who has needed a break from it all! I'm sure you are helping someone make the decision to get help, or know they aren't the only one! I'm so glad you have help now. Maybe you will be able to recover from some of the injuries you received. Love from a FRIDGED TEXAS!!!!
JAN, You made me Smile big when you said if I want to EAT something bad I will...because when we get to be our age...we CAN. SOME TIME IT JUST HELPS YOU FEEL BETTER TOO. ❤
Oh, im sorry to hear you are dealing with depression. It creeps up on everyone from time to time. It's a battle for me as well since getting some bad health news right before the holidays. I'm just focusing on anything positive no matter how small it is. Some days are good and other days not so much. We have to hang in here and support each other the best we can. Sending love and prayers your way.❤🙏
Bless you ,I've had this type of depression,I have a messed up hip and steel spinal implants and walking is hard, but my grandkids have literally saved me, as they bring me so much joy. Glad your son and his gf and their child moved it with you all. We love ya ❤🙏
So excited to see your video pop up Jan! You are such a joy, such a sweet inspirational person. You teach us all to look deeper, love people and show kindness. You are truly one of the kindest souls out there. Your family is blessed to have you❤ Keep shining Jan 😊😊❤😊😊
God bless you Jan. You are a special lady. I'm sorry you have been suffering. Praying your hip will heal and the Holy Spirit comfort your heart so your not so sad.😢❤
You have been an inspiration to me in so many ways. I went through all your videos and copied your recipes. That’s right, I have a Jan cook book! I’m sorry life is so hard right now. I love you! 💕
Dear Jan, I am so sorry that you had to go into the hospital. I thought that maybe you were just very busy with family over the holidays. I am with you on hip pain....it is horrible. I need both hips replaced with new joints and the pain is excruciating. God Bless you. My sister fell in her home and severely broke her femur which is the largest bone in the body....it connects the hip and knee. The surgeon said it was the worst fracture he has operated on in his entire career. She was hospitalized for 22 days also suffered from an embolism in her lung (blood clot) and had to have her lung drained ....just awful. Then she was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital for two weeks of intensive care. She is back at her home now. She has been blind for about 5 years and is also a type 1 diabetic. I'm almost 74 and she is 65. We both live alone in different towns and I have always been her driver but with my hip problems I am really grounded. It's been very hard getting her to all her appointments but our small family has pitched in. It will be about a year of recovery in a wheelchair and walker non weight bearing. We will never take our health for granted again that's for sure. Please if and when you make your videos again....just visit with us, that's all we really need. Just to see your sweet face and hear your kind words makes me feel better already. Sorry if that is selfish but Jan you really do mean the world to all of us. We love you dearly. Thank heavens your wonderful son and his fiancee moved in with you. I feel so alone and in so much pain.....but I say a lot of prayers and move forward. May God bless you in every way and I pray your hip gets to healing better. Sincerely, from Debbie and Dexter-Dog 🐶 my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California.❤🙏🙏🧑🦽😘🙋🐾🐣🐰🐥🐤👍✝️✝️
I know how bad depression can be on a person. I am on medications daily for depression just to cope day to day. It is horrible as there is nothing that you can do about it. There are days, I don't even get out of bed it is so bad. Your videos really help me as I have always enjoyed your down to earth channel and real life discussions. Thank you .
There are things you can do about it: give your thoughts and prayers to Jesus. Know that when you turn your trust over to God then positive changes will occur. KNOW that you are worth pulling out of that pit. That's not you. Do 1 thing for Yourself Everyday like taking a shower, eating a healthy meal, taking your vitamins, talking to a Christian therapist of your choice, etc...I am praying for you. Take care of yourself.
Jan, you are loved and prayed for by so many...I am so proud of you attending to not just your physical health but your mental health as well. Chronic pain can be devastating and I encourage you to push through and get stronger every day. So kind of your son and his girlfriend for coming to help, that''s the beauty of family. Baby steps back to your funny, kind, talented and loving self. Big hugs from Valdese !
Jan you are a light in this dark world; one of the best moment is watching you and your videos: may God give you all you need to totally recover, I love you Mrs.Jan, keep looking up sweetheart; 🙏🙏💕💕💕
Love you Jan!❤So glad to know you’re back home and feeling better. What a blessing that your son, his fiancé, and your granddaughter are there and can help you and Randy. Praying for you and Randy. 🕊️
Jan, it's so good to see you. I fight depression myself. I also have anxiety pretty bad. When you're feeling down, come on here and let us try to lift your spirits and give you encouragement. We love you and we are here for you.
Thanks for the video Jan. You are so kind sharing whats been going on. Nice to hear you'll have family support. Know how the little ones can bring joy and laughter to their grandparents. Much love and blessings to you and your family.
I’m so sorry! Depression is a horrible condition. I’m very proud of you for talking about it, because so many people feel like they have to hide it! Prayers for continued healing, my friend!
I love you Jan. You are such a wonderful person. I don't want to tell you what to do but you need to start strength training sister. even if it hurts at the beginning. You deserve to be here. Try to start in the water. it would change so much mentally and physically. I can take my own advice as well. Take care.
I love you so much Jan, and missed you. I think of you like you're my family, and I too had a one week hospital stay in the behavioral care unit for extreme Depression, anxiety, and panic disorder and PTSD, I broke my face in half having a seizure a few months ago. My Family including my grown Daughters didn't even come to see me. It's hard to believe, that my family being so close at one time for many years, could abandon me, but they have. Thank God I found the best primary care Doctor, and she's been helping me tremendously. God bless you. Thank you for being so kind and loving it means the world to me. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jan, you are so strong for sharing what so many of us also struggle with. Thats why you are so easy to relate to and love. I too am at a point where my body wont let me do all i want to do but, God wants you here and me! He has plans for us! Thank you and follow your own message, do something nice for you! Hugs and love. Just seeing your face again is a blessing. I love you always. ❤❤🙏🏼😊
Oh Jan, soooo wonderful to see you. You look much, much better than your last video. Looks like you are eating better and face is fuller which is good. With all your issues and pain, plus Randy having issues, no wonder you got depressed dear. So glad that your son and girlfriend are able to be with you, that was a real game changer for you. Blessings and a huge thank you to them for uprooting their lives to help out. Take a day at a time, know that you have a huge community here that loves you Jan and prays for you all. ❤
Jan. I'm am so grateful to God for bringing you back to us! I was treamendously worried about you. 😢 I come to check on you everyday to see if you're back. I'm so happy to see your face and hear your voice! I'm so sorry Jan to hear you're battling grief and depression. I too suffer from both. Very happy to hear you've got family moving in with you! That'll keep you busy! Anyway Jan.... welcome back. Hugs and kisses to you. xoxox ❤
It's so good to see you. I've been praying for you and everyone else has too. God bless you. I love you I've missed seeing you Will continue to pray for you. I'm so happy you are feeling better. I'm so glad you have your son, his fiance, and granddaughter with you. We're praying for hubby too.
Hi Jan! Sorry for the pain and difficulties you experienced. I do love your approach to cooking and it got us through hard days of family illness, recuperations etc. Thinking of you with prayers. A member of our family had a broken hip and so I have empathy. She did heal and was getting around quite well eventually but it was quite a sad time for a while. Prayers for your family too.❤
I’ve been worried about you Jan. I know the depression of pain ,I understand very well. I have chronic pain. It’s awful to not be able to do what your mind wants your body to do. I looked back just last night to see if you had posted. Please take care of yourself Jan. We love you so much. Hugs❤ 🌹 sending prayers……..
Hi Jan!!! Im happy you are back home. We are all here for you. Your going to be just fine. Glad Calab and his family moved it. That will be alot of help to you and Randy...Looking forward to seeing you back on here. Take Care and GOD Bless...Great Video!!!...🦋
Mrs. Jan You are such a blessing to all of us. Your kindness, Courage and love always shine through. Hang in there our gentle soul, I bet hanging the baby and some help from the young ones is going to pull you through this. Your son has obviously inherited his Moms heart to be there for you. 😇
Mrs Jan. I've not broke my hip but I've had 4 back surgeries that didn't really help. You are right unless someone has gone through it they don't really know. I had a bought of anxiety and depression a few weeks before Christmas. I set and cried if you looked at me it seemed. I have been in the hospital years ago for depression, like you I didn't try to kill myself but something happened that I just couldn't handle and I knew what this time was going to wind up. I called the drs office and me and my husband went & I set & cried in the office. They were finally able to get medicine to the dosage that helped. I pray that you get relief with your hip and leg and with your depression. Everyone needs help at times. May God bless you. You are loved, always remember that, God Bless you 🙏🏻🙏🙏
You are a blessing to all of us. Depression with God’s love, family love, friends and meds to balance my body’s seratonin all help. Vitamin D3 in winter helps with the seasonal sadness which comes with cold and dark winter days. What sunlight in your home now with family and a little one!! Knitting and singing are great outlets for me at 72, retired, and a writer. You have been my great friend in your taking time with us and not hurrying us. In your sharing you heal us and yourself. Love you! Thank you!! 🙋♀️🩵❄️🧶☕️🙏🏼🌈😘
Dear Jan, you are such a very special person and you've been and are a real blessing to many! Your heart has been weighted with a whole lot to bear up under. So glad you were able to get the time away and find your center again, one day at a time. God is with you and is carrying you. What a blessing to have your son, girlfriend and little cutie pie granddaughter moved in with you! What a comfort and help they will be. May you find strength and well-being coming upon you and may our Lord pour His healing throughout your body! So good to see you and hear how you're doing. Whatever you do we will enjoy it!
We need your recipes to help us through these hard economical times you are the light of my day sending hugs and hoping your videos return soon praying for you
I have degenerative disc disease and I love to cook. What helped me was I bought one of those chairs that doctors roll around in...I use it when I cook. God bless you.
Bless you, sending nothing but happiness your way, relax more and do what makes u happy. You are in charge of your happiness learn to be happy with this new ways of life.
Sure glad to see you Jan, jus rest as much as you can,& do the things that make you happy ,like coloring etc thinking of you my dear friend Blessings & love to you & your Family 😊😊❤❤❤
Praise God you are doing better enough to make this video! I've missed you so much!❤ I have been praying for you and God is So Good! I Love you and am Thankful for you! My mother in law had a hip replacement and it was hard, but over time she was able to walk and I know you can make it too! God Bless and keep you safe!💗💖🙏❤
You are one tough gal, most people would have given up after all you've been through. You'll make it girl, you're a fighter. Ve proud of yourself. I look up to you, you have the sweetest personality, always worried about everybody else. Love you gal.
I have been subscribed to your channel for awhile now but never comment. I was wondering what happened to you I was getting worried. I just love listening to you talk about anything your an inspiration to me and hope you continue your videos. Hope your feeling better❤❤❤
My dear Jan, im.so.happy your home. I've suffered with depression my whole life. Watching your videos has helped me immensely. You light up my life. Your my angel. God bless.
Depression is a horrible disease. I don’t wish it on anyone. Good to see you back, Jan. You have been missed.
It is depressing when you cant..walk..cant breath..loosing your independence is depressing..to any one expressing the life changes..😢❤
God be with you just remember you are stronger then you realize. I know how it is to be in constant pain form your hip both of mine are bad and also have breathing problem . What I do is use a walker with chair on it roll myself in kitchen and cook like that cooking is also my joy while I am unAble to do as much as I use to I don’t let the pAin take control I push through it and cook when ever possible .the walker is called a Rollator

So, so glad to see you back!! Can't tell you how blessed I feel to hear you share your life with us. Good friends do that, and friends are a blessing. Depression is a tough thing to beat, as a lot of us know - but hang in there and with your family's help you will get better and better. Your little granddaughter is medicine for the soul, and she will give you strength and joy. Don't worry about cooking for us, just visit with us with a nice cup of tea and the weather report - a little crocheting in between will do just fine. Hugs.
Love you Jan and you are always in my thoughts and prayers. I have watched your videos for so long and learned so much from what you have shared. You have given me a chuckle here and there, and I have admired your strength in dealing with life. Your "finds" are so entertaining and thank you for sharing all with us. I loved the videos with your funny daughter. You rest knowing that all of our love is in your heart, and we are here for you every day. If I can reach through this video screen, I would give you a great big hug but please accept this one [HUGS] and know it is sent from my heart to yours. God Bless you sweet lady. ♥
We have our son living with us to help with the "heavy lifting". It is also for the peace of mind. That helps in our recovery--it's LESS to worry about, and can aid in our healing. You are a blessing to all of us, Jan! 🙏🕯
Oh, Jan you have done something kind for so many people! I promise I will do something kind for others as well. When you popped up, I was so thrilled. I’ve really been missing you and worrying about you. I’ve been recovering from a surgery at home since December 21, and it has been kind of depressing. So I can understand a little bit about what you’re going through. I hope you know that for us, just seeing your face, gives a lift to so many people!
You have been such a friend to us all Jan. We missed you. So glad family has moved in with you. God bless you Jan with complete healing in Jesus' name. Amen.
Mrs. Jan I am happy to see you’re hanging in there. I pray God gives you the strength to keep moving on and know he loves you and so do we. Continued prayers going up for you, your husband and family ❤🙏🏽
Amen I agree 💯
🙏 ❤
Dear sweet lady, welcome back and sending love and prayers for health, happiness, safety and peace of mind. ❤
Oh so good to see you Jan! I figured you went into the hospital. You are in my daily prayers. You look good. I’m glad Caleb and his fiancé and your granddaughter moved in with you and Randy. That is wonderful. You are so special Jan. I love listening to you and I was so happy when I saw this video was up. Well you just take care and know you are so loved by so many of us and so many of us are praying for you.❤ See you soon. XOXO
Welcome back. I too was in the hospital for the mental health. Thanks for sharing
❤❤❤ As a Jan myself who struggles with depression and health issues (but not nearly as severe as yours sweet lady) I want to send you love and prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻… I knew that anytime I watched your videos, I would be lifted up by your beautiful smile and spirit! You never failed to inspire me to look for the best in others and in life itself. Praying that your recent time in the hospital was helpful to you in finding peace and comfort and strength for your depression. Glad you were able to get away and seek help in dealing with the depression. Always remember there is nothing wrong with asking for help when we need it!! So
You have been missed a lot. Keeping you and Randy in my prayers. I am glad that you went to get some much needed help with the depression. Depression is a awful awful feeling. Take it easy and let the young couple do everything lol. Well almost everything. Sending love and hugs.
I was just on here searching for you I've looked everyday
THANK THE LORD ,❤️🙏❤️
Miss Jan, I’m so sorry for the hard struggle you’ve been through. You are an encouragement to those of us who watch you. God is using you! Always remember that. Our prayers are with you.
Lifting you up in prayer, Mz. Jan!💗
👋It's so good to see you Jan!! Thank you for the update!! Continued prayers for you an family!! Much Love!!💕💕💕💕
Oh, Jan, it's so good to hear from you!!! We have worried about you so much! I thought your absence was probably due to the infection on your arms. You are brave to talk about your time in the hospital. Many of your followers have been there, or cared for someone who has needed a break from it all! I'm sure you are helping someone make the decision to get help, or know they aren't the only one! I'm so glad you have help now. Maybe you will be able to recover from some of the injuries you received. Love from a FRIDGED TEXAS!!!!
My sentiments too from a frigid Louisiana.
JAN, You made me Smile big when you said if I want to EAT something bad I will...because when we get to be our age...we CAN. SOME TIME IT JUST HELPS YOU FEEL BETTER TOO. ❤
Oh, im sorry to hear you are dealing with depression. It creeps up on everyone from time to time. It's a battle for me as well since getting some bad health news right before the holidays. I'm just focusing on anything positive no matter how small it is. Some days are good and other days not so much. We have to hang in here and support each other the best we can. Sending love and prayers your way.❤🙏
Bless you ,I've had this type of depression,I have a messed up hip and steel spinal implants and walking is hard, but my grandkids have literally saved me, as they bring me so much joy. Glad your son and his gf and their child moved it with you all. We love ya ❤🙏
So excited to see your video pop up Jan! You are such a joy, such a sweet inspirational person. You teach us all to look deeper, love people and show kindness. You are truly one of the kindest souls out there. Your family is blessed to have you❤ Keep shining Jan 😊😊❤😊😊
God bless you Jan. You are a special lady. I'm sorry you have been suffering. Praying your hip will heal and the Holy Spirit comfort your heart so your not so sad.😢❤
You have been an inspiration to me in so many ways. I went through all your videos and copied your recipes. That’s right, I have a Jan cook book! I’m sorry life is so hard right now. I love you! 💕
Dear Jan, I am so sorry that you had to go into the hospital. I thought that maybe you were just very busy with family over the holidays. I am with you on hip pain....it is horrible. I need both hips replaced with new joints and the pain is excruciating. God Bless you. My sister fell in her home and severely broke her femur which is the largest bone in the body....it connects the hip and knee. The surgeon said it was the worst fracture he has operated on in his entire career. She was hospitalized for 22 days also suffered from an embolism in her lung (blood clot) and had to have her lung drained ....just awful. Then she was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital for two weeks of intensive care. She is back at her home now. She has been blind for about 5 years and is also a type 1 diabetic. I'm almost 74 and she is 65. We both live alone in different towns and I have always been her driver but with my hip problems I am really grounded. It's been very hard getting her to all her appointments but our small family has pitched in. It will be about a year of recovery in a wheelchair and walker non weight bearing. We will never take our health for granted again that's for sure. Please if and when you make your videos again....just visit with us, that's all we really need. Just to see your sweet face and hear your kind words makes me feel better already. Sorry if that is selfish but Jan you really do mean the world to all of us. We love you dearly. Thank heavens your wonderful son and his fiancee moved in with you. I feel so alone and in so much pain.....but I say a lot of prayers and move forward. May God bless you in every way and I pray your hip gets to healing better. Sincerely, from Debbie and Dexter-Dog 🐶 my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California.❤🙏🙏🧑🦽😘🙋🐾🐣🐰🐥🐤👍✝️✝️
Your color looks great. I'm so happy to see you again, I've missed you and hope you and your family have had a wonderful holiday season.
Love you Ms. Jan. Take care of yourself. Hugs.
I know how bad depression can be on a person. I am on medications daily for depression just to cope day to day. It is horrible as there is nothing that you can do about it. There are days, I don't even get out of bed it is so bad. Your videos really help me as I have always enjoyed your down to earth channel and real life discussions. Thank you .
There are things you can do about it: give your thoughts and prayers to Jesus. Know that when you turn your trust over to God then positive changes will occur. KNOW that you are worth pulling out of that pit. That's not you. Do 1 thing for Yourself Everyday like taking a shower, eating a healthy meal, taking your vitamins, talking to a Christian therapist of your choice, etc...I am praying for you. Take care of yourself.
Glad to see you back.....Depression is no joke.....it's debilitating
Exactly and it can be seasonal besides holidays being hard when we’re older. So many gone from our lives.
Jan, you are loved and prayed for by so many...I am so proud of you attending to not just your physical health but your mental health as well. Chronic pain can be devastating and I encourage you to push through and get stronger every day. So kind of your son and his girlfriend for coming to help, that''s the beauty of family. Baby steps back to your funny, kind, talented and loving self. Big hugs from Valdese !
Sending you lots of healing energy.
Jan, we all love you so much. I will keep you in my prayers each night. You are the dearest soul I have ever known❤
Jan you are a light in this dark world; one of the best moment is watching you and your videos: may God give you all you need to totally recover, I love you Mrs.Jan, keep looking up sweetheart; 🙏🙏💕💕💕
Love you Jan!❤So glad to know you’re back home and feeling better. What a blessing that your son, his fiancé, and your granddaughter are there and can help you and Randy. Praying for you and Randy. 🕊️
Jan, it's so good to see you. I fight depression myself. I also have anxiety pretty bad. When you're feeling down, come on here and let us try to lift your spirits and give you encouragement. We love you and we are here for you.
Welcome back Jan !!!! ❤🎉❤ you have been so missed!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Blessings to you Jan. We all love you dearly. Much love ~
Thanks for the video Jan. You are so kind sharing whats been going on. Nice to hear you'll have family support. Know how the little ones can bring joy and laughter to their grandparents. Much love and blessings to you and your family.
We all need a little breather sometimes Mrs C. You just keep on keeping on best you can.
It’s such a relief to hear from you today, Jan! Will be praying for you- you are such a blessing to us.
I’m so sorry! Depression is a horrible condition. I’m very proud of you for talking about it, because so many people feel like they have to hide it! Prayers for continued healing, my friend!
I love you Jan. You are such a wonderful person. I don't want to tell you what to do but you need to start strength training sister. even if it hurts at the beginning. You deserve to be here. Try to start in the water. it would change so much mentally and physically. I can take my own advice as well. Take care.
I love you so much Jan, and missed you.
I think of you like you're my family, and I too had a one week hospital stay in the behavioral care unit for extreme Depression, anxiety, and panic disorder and PTSD, I broke my face in half having a seizure a few months ago.
My Family including my grown Daughters didn't even come to see me.
It's hard to believe, that my family being so close at one time for many years, could abandon me, but they have.
Thank God I found the best primary care Doctor, and she's been helping me tremendously.
God bless you.
Thank you for being so kind and loving it means the world to me. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jan, you are so strong for sharing what so many of us also struggle with. Thats why you are so easy to relate to and love. I too am at a point where my body wont let me do all i want to do but, God wants you here and me! He has plans for us! Thank you and follow your own message, do something nice for you! Hugs and love. Just seeing your face again is a blessing. I love you always. ❤❤🙏🏼😊
Praying for you Jan.. HOLD tight to the LORD, he WILL get you through this.
Oh Jan, soooo wonderful to see you. You look much, much better than your last video. Looks like you are eating better and face is fuller which is good. With all your issues and pain, plus Randy having issues, no wonder you got depressed dear. So glad that your son and girlfriend are able to be with you, that was a real game changer for you. Blessings and a huge thank you to them for uprooting their lives to help out. Take a day at a time, know that you have a huge community here that loves you Jan and prays for you all. ❤
Welcome back Ms Jan, sure have missed you. Will keep you in my prayers 🙏 ❤
Jan. I'm am so grateful to God for bringing you back to us! I was treamendously worried about you. 😢 I come to check on you everyday to see if you're back. I'm so happy to see your face and hear your voice! I'm so sorry Jan to hear you're battling grief and depression. I too suffer from both. Very happy to hear you've got family moving in with you! That'll keep you busy! Anyway Jan.... welcome back. Hugs and kisses to you. xoxox ❤
I’m so very glad to see you. We love you!!
It's so good to see you. I've been praying for you and everyone else has too. God bless you. I love you I've missed seeing you Will continue to pray for you. I'm so happy you are feeling better. I'm so glad you have your son, his fiance, and granddaughter with you. We're praying for hubby too.
Ohhhhhh Jan, I am so pleased that you are doing much better. Look after yourself...xx
Hi Jan! Sorry for the pain and difficulties you experienced. I do love your approach to cooking and it got us through hard days of family illness, recuperations etc. Thinking of you with prayers. A member of our family had a broken hip and so I have empathy. She did heal and was getting around quite well eventually but it was quite a sad time for a while. Prayers for your family too.❤
Glad you are home & better!❤
I’ve been worried about you Jan. I know the depression of pain ,I understand very well. I have chronic pain. It’s awful to not be able to do what your mind wants your body to do. I looked back just last night to see if you had posted. Please take care of yourself Jan. We love you so much. Hugs❤ 🌹 sending prayers……..
Happy to see you back home, Jan You're one special Lady!
Hi Jan!!! Im happy you are back home. We are all here for you. Your going to be just fine. Glad Calab and his family moved it. That will be alot of help to you and Randy...Looking forward to seeing you back on here. Take Care and GOD Bless...Great Video!!!...🦋
We love you too Jan. You’re one of my favorites. I wish I could send you a giant hug to help you through your day. Again love you very much. ❤❤❤
Mrs. Jan You are such a blessing to all of us. Your kindness, Courage and love always shine through. Hang in there our gentle soul, I bet hanging the baby and some help from the young ones is going to pull you through this. Your son has obviously inherited his Moms heart to be there for you. 😇
Agree she has a special son and family to help like they Are. Blessings to each of you.
Praying for each family member ❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤❤🎸❤️🙏🏻
Mrs Jan. I've not broke my hip but I've had 4 back surgeries that didn't really help. You are right unless someone has gone through it they don't really know. I had a bought of anxiety and depression a few weeks before Christmas. I set and cried if you looked at me it seemed. I have been in the hospital years ago for depression, like you I didn't try to kill myself but something happened that I just couldn't handle and I knew what this time was going to wind up. I called the drs office and me and my husband went & I set & cried in the office. They were finally able to get medicine to the dosage that helped. I pray that you get relief with your hip and leg and with your depression. Everyone needs help at times. May God bless you. You are loved, always remember that, God Bless you 🙏🏻🙏🙏
You are a blessing to all of us.
Depression with God’s love, family
love, friends and meds to balance my
body’s seratonin all help.
Vitamin D3 in winter helps with the seasonal

What sunlight in your home now with
family and a little one!!
Knitting and singing are great
outlets for me at 72, retired, and

What a blessing to have your son, girlfriend and little cutie pie granddaughter moved in with you! What a comfort and help they will be.
