- Whether that be the loss of a relationship, a friendship, or a loved one, the grieving process is never easy. We think we might have fully resolved our griefs, but sometimes grief can continue to subconsciously affect us and we start to doubt ourselves again. If you are unsure if you're still grieving, here's a few signs to watch out for and what to do about them. If you're not but you're here to see if someone you know, perhaps a friend, still is and you want to know how to see the signs and help them, this video can be for you as well.
If you have experienced significant loss, but a long time has passed and you still experience some of the following symptoms, you may be experiencing “complicated grief”, also known as “unresolved grief”.

My step dad I lost to lung cancer on November 7th of this year

My cat death.. he just died yesterday. He was like my best friend
“Still grieving” ... grief is infinite. You will grieve forever, it doesn’t end. You will always miss your person.
I believe it depends on the kind of loss it is and the relationship you had with them
Or thing
Missing someone doesn't always have to be sad... Being happy for em or finding peace IS possible and it's what I'm aiming for. The sadness goes away too, I just don't know how to get there. :p
@@Chang1202 Jesus Christ is the only answer. Please allow me to share my best friend's story with you. This family truly knows where to turn in times of grief.
Family Story
Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day.
My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening.
That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of
a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you.
His Story
Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price]
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Your Story
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son.
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready?
“...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b)
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c)

3. You feel like you are getting sick more early, or taking longer to recover from your sickness. 2:33

Thx :))
When you've been mourning your entire life, it becomes you.
So be it.
It does
I'm running out of teardrops, my body aches from bad posture and no physical activity, i can't focus during the day, i can't sleep during the night, I'm stressed and too sensitive about small events and conversations...
Even tho i reached acceptance, I'm still in pain. It's been 2 months since i lost a family member and i know it's too early to expect feeling better, but at this point i have no will and energy to live on.
It's truly terrible, i only wish health and safety to everyone who happens to read this comment. Take care of yourselves
Sorry to hear that you’re going through this, and I recommend meditation there are studies that shows meditation can help with stress, anxiety or depression.

Same..
hang in there....i was feeling like this too, daily, and 6 months later things finally got better. slowly, but surely, it will. just hold on tight to your faith, whatever that might look like. alternative therapy (EFT) helped me a lot, as did surrounding myself in nature and with loved ones. my doggy was a blessing too...
I lost my mom a little over a month ago. On my birthday. She died on my birthday...it seems surreal. My other family members seemed almost afraid that it happened on that day, like it means something. I haven't had any sign or feeling of her around me, like I did when my dad died. I think she is sad because one of her sisters treated me cruelly at the funeral. Can you imagine? ...being treated without compassion at your mom's funeral? It happened to me. I worry that my mom can't move on because of what happened. Maybe that sounds crazy, but maybe some of you might understand what i mean. I hope there is an afterlife and I hope my mom isn't sad or stuck in-between because of sad or angry feelings about it.
Hang in there...I have felt this twice in my life a divorce which took.me 2 yrs to somewhat fully recover and my my son arrested and is in prison and for this 2nd tragedy I had to pray to God whom I didnt believe in or at least thought he didnt care to have any thing to do with me and suddenly I started to overcome, but I'm still struggling a bit with my son being in prison but it has gotten better I still have my good and bad days hang in there.
I'm slowly getting over the loss of my ex
It was tough losing him once, but then I had to lose him completely forever
I can relate to these signs
It took me over 10 years to feel ok after my 2nd husband and I split. Fortunately, I now remember the good times and bad with ease but I will always miss the friend I lost.
I know exactly how you feel. It’s taken me almost a year to get over him. I’m almost over him and I am much happier but I went through a lot this year because of our break up. It DOES get better. Surround yourself with people you love and do things that you love to do. I promise things will improve with time. Lastly, seek a therapist. They are very helpful during this fragile time.
If you need someone to talk to or some guidance please let me know, I’m more than happy to help. I can give you my Instagram and we could talk on there. My ex and I broke up twice and the second time for good. So believe me when I tell you our experiences are super similar and might be able to help.
@@g.cosper8306 I'm so sorry I know how it feels to be lonely without the person you love, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but life goes on because death is inevitable and we'll all have to face it someday, I lost my son jersey on may 24th 2020 during lockdown on a car accident he just turned 22 on his birthday, got hit by a drunk truck driver, that was the worst and most lamentable day of my life as a single Dad raising two kid's, my 13yr old daughter is my everything and the reason I keep strong, my late wife passed away 3yrs ago to a cardiovascular disease, I felt deeply devastated with grief, but that's the past now, time is indeed the best healer.
I'd love to talk to you more if you don't mind! it'd be nice if you just say hi, here is my number +17866676668 or rather you can send me your gmail address so I could reach out on you.
It’s been 3-4 years since I’ve lost my best friend and I’m still experiencing major grief. I miss him every single day
💕💕💕 Some love and support for you.
i’m still grieving to this day. my dad died 3 years ago. i will never get over it
I lost my dad in January. Everything reminds me of him, sometimes it makes me smile and other times its like a stab in my heart. I have my fathers eyes, so at first I couldn't even look in the mirror. The last thing he told me was that everything's going to be ok. I believe that; somehow everything's going to be ok.
To anyone who's going through something similar and feels alone, my heart aches with yours but we'll get through this 💛
Sorry for your loss, just lost my dad too he was my everything i just hope i will see him again one day😢
❤
This hits hard.. this is the first Christmas completely by myself. I lost my dad nearly 5 years ago and my mom 16 years ago. I have been celebrating with siblings and family friends for the last five year but this year with being in a new state, by myself and the pandemic has made it feel so isolating. I am only 28, but I wish more than anything to see my parents again. Thank you for this video psych 2 go, this resonates a lot especially today. Thank you. Merry Christmas all. I hope you all have a happy holiday. ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss. I just lost my dad to cancer 4 days ago and it's still painful and suffocating. The pandemic really made everything a lot more difficult. Stay healthy and take care, happy holiday to you, too❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤️
Once your parents are gone your really on your own. And it's an awful feeling. But they are always with you in spirit. I swear that my mom sometimes sends me signals and messages from above. So I guess she's watching over me and so are your parents🙂But yes, it would be awesome to reunite with them again.......
@@desikho I am so sorry for your loss as well. Sending virtual hugs.
@@mariac7725 thank you. 💜
My cat she died Jun 2020. She was my best friend for over 15 years.
omg are you okay? X(

So sorry :(
🤗🤗🤗 for you .😔😢😭 Sorry for your loss.Keep all your memories close to your heart and in your mind.I pull them out when I start to miss my babies.I still feel sad but it makes me smile and thankful for the time I had with them.
I'm so very sorry🥀
When you meet someone special and invest so much of your time with them you think that you and them are inseparable but think again all of it can be over and you’ll drown in regret.
My grandfather that I was really close to died almost 4 years ago. Since his death my depression has worsened significantly and I still can't move on. In tbe first 2 years I'd cry myself to sleep thinking about him. I moved to the uk from a different country 6 years ago and I could only see him during holidays and summer. I still feel guilty because I feel like I didn't spend enough time with him. And before his death he was grieving too, not only from his wife's death but also from the fact I couldn't see him often. I miss him so much. Christmas isn't the same without him.
I lost my grandfather this march and then had a breakup of my 5 year relationship. This year's been a lot.
I'm so sorry for your loss of your dear Grandad, im sending you love ❤
Ive had a traumatic past with my ex. I've moved on but I always get scarred whenever I remindrd what happened with our relationship.
Grief is most understood to be about death .. but it’s so much more .. it’s also a life undiscovered .. what coulda shoulda been .. it’s a very deep emotional experience to explore . I hope you find your way and can experience life on the other side
Me as well. I am going to ptsd therapy for a 2 year relationship that ended almost 2 years ago
Me too me and my former Fiance had a miscarriage in 2010 and I'm still haunted by it to this day.
Same :((
One true thing about pain is that even though we get through it, we see a reminder of them and it's still there, we never truly get over the people nor pets, that we loved! But can still get by!
This is like nightmare... I hope anyone going through it recover ❤!!!!
Please help me recover idfk what to do
My grandma died this year on Dec 09th... I didn't cry at that moment but everyday I feel like crying inside my heart... 😔😓

A Portuguese poet once said: "Love is a beautiful flame that burns bright without being seen." I, more than anyone, can confirm how that sentence is truthful. I once lost the woman I love the most, but that beautiful, bright flame that bound us still lives on. I will never let that flame extinguish. I will do whatever it takes to make it stronger, to make it unexstinguishable. We are born with two, legs, two arms, two ears, two eyes but only one heart... because, we're supposed to find the other one.

@Party Surprise so was she.
If you're showing any of these signs, just know that there are people who'll listen to you if you want to talk about it.
You're not alone.
People might not feel your pain, but there are people who will have a shoulder for you to cry on.
Really?
@@maximilliammus8137 yes 😄
A lot harder for males to ask for help...... As we tend to keep it to ourselves.....
@@anthonyleighton4754 Well it could be hard since most of the males are told that "Men don't cry".
But gender thing apart, if anyone feels uncomfortable in sharing then may be that person should talk to a therapist or could maintain a secret journal and write their experience on the times when they face these symptoms.
I am not a therapist but these are a few things that i tried.
Also, try breathing techniques of you get a panic attack.
And, it's okay to not trust people sometimes, just trust yourself first.
I don't understand how you can say that when you don't know about peoples lives. Not everyone has someone to talk to.
I think my grief is unresolved and complicated...
Last year I lost a school friend to suicide, and I feel all of those symptoms listed.
It’s been “a year” and I’ve heard from some that I should just get over it or “but it has been a year already”, but whenever I actually think (or let myself think about it) I get panicky, I cry, I shiver and I feel like re experiencing the whole news of the loss all over again.
It also happens that it comes in waves and just hits me, and I cry randomly ... it’s as if the floor beneath me is just gone.
I feel so guilty, I dont believe that I’m allowed to grieve, as I never truly grieved nor got closure because you’re excepted To “FUNCTION” all the time, and people want you to be alright.
A year really isn't much time at all. You don't "get over" something like this, you eventually learn to cope. The people telling you to get over it have obviously never lost anyone and they've got some shocks coming.
There's no timetable for grief. You'll deal with it as and when you feel able to. Given the circumstances, this is normal.

I felt that. The world expects you to just "function", but it gets harder to just push forward...
My boyfriend passed two months ago and I just know I’m not over it yet so this definitely helped
I am so sorry for your loss.
11 years ago, I lost my dad to cancer. Every single year in November is a grim reminder that he's no longer with me. Some days I cry my eyes out because I miss him so much. I look at our pictures together and my heart aches and my tears just won't stop.
Losing a parent is something that you will never truly get over, but over time, things do get easier.
He passed away when I was 13, and I'm 24 now. Sometimes my mindset goes back to that vulnerable little girl that cries out for her father, begging him to come back. And sometimes I smile because he isn't down here suffering. Grief works differently for other people. Some people grieve for maybe a year or so, and some people grieve for the rest of their lives. It isn't easy.
No matter who or what you've lost, always remember that everything will be okay. You're stronger than you realize and you WILL get through this. Just don't give up. ❤
I feel your pain I lost my mum last yr to cancer so quickly. It's so hard.

We never really celebrated Christmas.. but yet I still find myself sad today.

It’s been five years since my sister died suddenly from a heart attack due to thyroid storm. I’m literally in tears bawling uncontrollably all because I brought her up in a conversation. I’m not angry and wish she was still here. I miss her so much it hurts.

I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of
a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you.
His Story
Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price]
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Your Story
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son.
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready?
“...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b)
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c)

💔 I hope things get better..❤️
What a lovely and compassionate video. There’s a lot of pressure to get over a loss too quickly before there has been time to integrate the new reality into one’s life. I really hope this video provides comfort to people in pain. Wishing you a wonderful 2021 and thank you for all your hard work creating videos this year. Love from London England. ❤️
Why did I just get a notification for this and there’s comments from a month ago?

Just came from the bath crying, when I got a notification of this. Thanks, this is a big help for me.💖
My cat died this year, he was only 1 and a half years old, he was a cute rag doll and he was always there for me, he’s been through a lot and I love him so much, we where the bestes friends ever and you won’t believe how strong our friendship was, R.I.P snuggle puss, we all love you ❤️
I've grieved my mom's death now for almost 3 years..
I'm so sorry to hear that. 😢 My father passed away in February last year and my family is still frozen in grief it seems. My physical and mental health have suffered quite severely. Mourning is a very personal thing and there is no specific time when you will suddenly 'snap out of it'and feel better. Gradually the feelings of loneliness and despair become less strong and are replaced by a sort of ache you carry around but sometimes forget about. Then as more time goes on you learn to live again, the times you feel the ache become less and less frequent. But if you feel like these is no end in sight to your pain or you just can't cope anymore please contact your doctor or let a loved one know. The service mentioned in the video, online counselling, might benefit you. The world might be very different at the moment but you can still receive support for your loss. Take care 💖🌼 xx
@@Georgia.J I'm sorry for your loss. Losing a family member is the worst thing that can happen to a person.. The grief is definitely not easy to handle. I have my dog who has kinda forced me to get out of the bed every single day. My dog and the support from my dad has helped me a lot. I hope that you have some supportive people or pets around you as well. I hope you're doing ok. Stay strong! 💕
Me too… it fuckin sucks… I’m starting to lose grip mentally I’m not as motivated at the gym. I can’t get a relationship all cause I’m just mentally stressed and depressed. I miss her so fucking much, I wish I could hug her one more time and feel her warmth again.
@@Random_acct0439 I'm sorry for your loss 🌹
It's been a 1.5 for me since I lost mine and I truly believe it will be forever
My brother passed away unexpectedly August 3 2020. I have never felt so much pain in my life. My soul feels like it's been ripped out and the grief I feel for him is unbearable at times. I still cry everyday for him. I feel for anyone losing a loved one! May god bless you! ❤
I know how u feel
that’s painfully accurate
My husband has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreas/liver cancer. I find myself grieving /depressed knowing I’m going to lose the soul mate of my life. God made him for me and the thought of losing him is overwhelming 🥺
II am so sorry. I have lost my husband .
Hello how are you doing ?
@@marilynholmes8229 I came across your comment at the grief of love ones post here. ☹️That’s so touching and I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all loss our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, I truly understand how you feel cos I’ve felt same hard and terrible experiences before but death is just inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday, and every of our love ones we’ve loss will always want to see us happy again wherever they’re okay. I loss my oldest daughter Annabel February 24th 2020 in a crucial car accident, and she just turned 22 on her last birthday before she got knocked down by a moving vehicle 🚗 and so unlucky for me that horrible day the driver was drunk. That was the worst and most lamenting day of my whole life as a single Dad raising two kid's, my 17 years old son Clark and my 4 legged 🐶 families are my everything and the reason I still keep strong, and keep going! My late wife passed away three years ago from a shocking disease, I felt devastated with grief, and I was so heartbroken 💔 but God and time are indeed the best healers. I pray and hope you’ve found peace, comfort and happiness again!
I lost my dog a couple of years ago and it still hits me hard. Luckily, I adopted a dog who I love dearly but I sometimes I still think about her. I just don’t like talking about that nightmarish day.
My sisters dog was hit and killed 4 days ago. Only 7 months old. I don’t know how I will ever feel normal. Seeing his little body
My dad passed away nearly 6 years ago. A few days ago I stumbled upon his facebook page. All of a sudden it hit me again and for the first time in a long time I cried my eyes out. Grieve is timeless. It will never fully go away, but it will get better
I just realised that I’m still grieving over my grandparents death, although my grandfather died nearly 10 years ago... hmm.
Love the vid as always🥰
I dont think you are still grieving them. You just like thinking that you are.
For as long as I can remember my lost ones, they are at my side helping me. The grief never passes but becomes a trusted friend.And yes it F*****G hurts.
When you lose a child, the grieving NEVER stops.
Never will
I lost my mom, who was my only best friend, 7 months ago. Me, being the only child, I have no one to share the same level of pain. All the time, my heart feels heavy, I can feel a physical pain. Sometimes I just feel that my heart will burst.
Outstanding .. I wish I can say it will be easy for you .. it won’t be .. but you have to try .. because consequences of grief are very real .. your carry a very great weight right now .. it’s time to put it down and cry .. and laugh and go a little crazy at the insanity of death .. think of the kitten holding onto the cloths line .. use this experience , write a journal .. share your experiences with others .. there will be a dawn .. and you will survive this !
I’m so sorry for your loss 😞
Feel the same, but for my Dad who died this year. He was the person I needed the most in life.
Cruel cruel world I've lost a daughter and son
@@ionageman Thank you so much. Yes, I've been maintaining a diary documenting my feelings, I write poems, and I must say writing has helped me a bit. But ya, as I said, the feeling of trauma is always there.
I lost my stepdad a year ago this Sunday, and it still hurts so much to even think of him. I was the one who found him and I miss him a lot
I'm grieving my entire life and have been for 5 years. I just want to feel happy again

My pitbull passed away(11,04,20),it’s him on my picture. He was 9 and has arthritis and it spreader really quick

please god bless him and have murcey upon his sole and help me live through all of this
My dear friend, I understand your pain. I will keep you, your family, and your father in my prayers. God bless you, may you find relief in His presence.
Hi, Psych2Go and everyone who'd read this. It has been more than a decade since I lost my most cherished grandfather. I think I have moved on already. I don't experience the things you mentioned, but I still do find myself crying whenever I remember him and things I regret because he wasn't able to be there anymore. Like for example, when I graduated in college, I cried so hard because I thought "If only he is still with us, he'd be so happy to see me march and take my diploma.". I didn't expect that I'd be feeling great pain and cry so hard. Sometimes, I still find myself teary-eyed if not crying whenever I remember my frustrated hopes about being with my grandfather. Am I still grieving?
Since his death, I have been grieving my grandfather. A little over a year and I'm still crying. I spent ten or eleven months grieving in private though. My family didn't know that my grandfather's death impacted me. When I found out my grandpa died, I went into shock, even though I knew he wasn't going to make it. Somewhere around the middle of that night I faced denial and isolation, then I faked acceptance the next morning. In an endless cycle, I would go back and forth between denial and isolation and acceptance, or rather, indifference when I was with my family. For some reason, I felt like I needed to be strong for everyone. As if I wasn't allowed to cry until everyone else was done mourning. At school I was a crying mess. There were many days I spent crying- especially during the first week of my grandpa's death -until I started to fake acceptance/indifference at school too, not just in front of my family. It was hard, because I would spend most of my time thinking about my grandpa, and I would begin to tear up at times. After a a handful of months I moved onto bargaining and guilt, then anger, denial and isolation and guilt again, depression, self isolation, guilt, and anger again. Eventually, these stages of grief began to overlap each other and I faced them all at once. If someone mentioned my grandfather or anything that I had mentally connected him to, I would shut down by refusing to look at anyone, suddenly becoming mute, and act very distant. A surplus amount of online screenings suggested I was (am) suffering complicated/complex grief on a severe level, which I believe was true; life was so hard to resume and carry on with after my grandpa died. Now it's been three months since I've started what is supposed to be the final stage of grief: acceptance.
Very slowly, but surely, I would think that I'm learning to live with my grandpa's death, and I think that although I opened to my mother about grief a couple of months prior to his death's anniversary, I really found solace on my grandpa's death anniversary. We, that being my family and I, all prayed the rosary for him. One petition I had (which my family also petitioned as they started to catch onto how I was feeling about losing my grandpa) was for me to feel comfort- on a spiritual level. During the prayer, I felt somewhat of a peace entering me, and a slight joy mixed with the feeling of contentment. The best way to describe it is to say that I was getting the spiritual comfort that I was asking for. Yes, I still think of my grandpa and cry for him, and I still have a hard time moving forward, but I'm sure I can say that I am feeling a lot better.
Without me having to say it, I know that everyone understands that grief lasts a lifetime, but we can all adapt to it and grow with it. Despite not fully watching the video, I know I am still grieving, however that's fine. So yes, you are still grieving, but as I said, that's fine. Losing a loved one is hard and I can empathize with you because I too cry when thinking of my achievements and my future achievements that I can't share with my grandpa. He's never going to dance with me on my wedding night, nor will he get to dance with my sister at her quinceañera, and he won't get to see my siblings and I graduate school and move to adulthood. Sadly, he won't get to hold his first great grandchild, which is a depressing thought for me. Be Not Afraid by Bob Dufford and Don't Cry For Me by Libby L. Allen are a couple of songs that have helped me cope with grief, I hope they can help you too. God bless you, may you and your family find true peace in the Lord's presence.
It doesn't sound like it. It just sounds like you miss him. That isn't the same as grief. It is normal to do, ESPECIALLY when major life events happen. You either created expected memories of your grandfather sharing those events with you, and that makes you miss him, or you think he would enjoy that event with you and that makes you miss him. I cried during a church service 15 years after my grandparents died. The preacher told a story about a mission trip they took together. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I cried off and on for 2 days. I had 2 small boys and I couldn't look at them without thinking, "Nana and Granddaddy would ADORE you two!" It was nice, looking back on it. To feel love for the deceased simply means you miss them. That's ok to do. I imagine your grandfather is grateful that you loved him enough to miss him and cry that he is no longer here. As long as you still do that, it's like he isn't really gone. He won't. E gone until no one remembers him. THAT would not be good. You crying on special occasions? That is good. It might not feel good, but one day it will. That crying I did? It felt good-in a weird way.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Merry Christmas to you!

Yes , it is true .. we live in a world of perception .. understanding helps in my opinion .
I've lost a close friend and it's been 3 months and feel like I'm experiencing complicated grief. Can't stop blaming myself. I drove this person away from our place of work. I just can't get over how this person has treated my feelings. Thank you for the video.
I absolutely love how the art style changes everything
I lost someone I loved so much in a romantic way and avoided the first 6 months to acknowledge that pain, the next second half of 2019 I was so depressed that I couldn't do anything. Postponed grief really blocks you from healing. Barely this year I started to reflect on my feelings about what happened and it has been a long run. I like to think I'm half way there (full acceptance). I told you this experience because it REALLY prolonged my sadness and I don't want that for you. If you want to cry DO IT, even if you've had it worse before, IT'S YOUR FEELING YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO FEEL.
I'm very sorry about your husband, trust me I completely understand how you feel, I felt the same way when my wife past away June 4th 2018 grief is hard to deal with but we learn to live with it, where are you from.?
w-what... h-how? i was just thinking about the loss of a relationship and then BAM this video was uploaded... how do you knowww
The moment you realise why .. you will understand something very profound ..
Ur voice is so relaxing it feels too good to listen and the animation style is a cherry on the cake
Btw MERRY CHRISTMAS
I'm so glad that Psych2go really makes this kind of information accessible. Mental disorders and other things in that arena have always been shunned or disregarded, thankyou for reaching out to the world.
Well what did I except from 4 deaths in a year and a loss of my entire friend group 😖 (don't worry I'm going to get my mom to take me back to my counselor)
Gosh that's hard. So sorry for you. I send you some love and support from France 💕.
Please allow me to share my best friend's story with you. This family truly knows where to turn in times of grief.
Family Story
Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day.
My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening.
That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of

Tribute to Ethan Lakey
th-cam.com/video/EhobcQZ6Qb8/w-d-xo.html
I'm still grieving a relationship that ended back at the start of June and Christmas is most definitely the most depressing time I've had this year. Especially since my birthday is on Christmas eve... All I ever did was sit and think about my ex partner the entire time and all I was feeling was my heart being squeezed, nauseous, shortness of breath, and burning eyes due to tearing up. It all just hurts so much to the point where I don't even wanna get out of my room 😔
I'm on the same boat... It's even worse on valentines day. It's been 2 years since my relationship ended but I have to say, it does get better with time. So I'm sure you'll pull through too! Hang in there, peace and love💜✌
To be very honest... I'm still grieving about someone who was like a real mother to me, I just woke up one day and have no more connection and/or communication to her. It felt like I was once again abandoned and cut out from someone's life, like I've lost a friend, a really special one. It hurts and still do, I suppressed how I feel after I knew about it but just this month I broke down crying and in pain (happens almost every night as I go to sleep) because some things, or even just some people or by and from what they say, I am always reminded about it. It is really difficult and painful, I have no one to talk to that would be open to comprehend on what I'm grieving about. This video helped me clarify some things, and yes I do have some experiences like you've mentioned in the video. Thank you for that 💖 I'm still hurting, but I know I'm gonna be okay. Not now but in time. Beyond grateful for you, @Psych2Go ✨ Merry Christmas!!!
When I lost my work dog, Chloe, I wanted to AVOID my work place like the plague. But thankfully, since the lockdown, I haven’t had the ability to go back to that place. I know it’s silly to grieve over a pet that isn’t mine, but she did feel like she was mine, at least at work, bc her owner really trusted me with Chloe, bc he knew how much she meant to me, and vice versa. Chloe was a golden retriever who retired recently and had died of chocolate poisoning. She was the best, most sweetest girl, and she died on Thanksgiving, and this Thanksgiving was very hard for me, but my parents thought I was “over it,” which I’m not still. Rip Chloe
I am also not having my own dog I think, one year ago when I was living with my uncle he bought a really cute dog for his children. But I cared about him and doing all the things of him. When I came home during lockdown I brought him with me. He is like my child and even thinking of losing him feels like my heart will explode. I hope that my uncle never say that this is not your dog and you have no right to live with him or care about him
This video is 5 month ago, why it's still Unrelease?
Ikr like why??
Still haven't moved on from one of my dogs passings, but I'm trying to be strong :)
Me too. I lost my boy October 13th. I miss him so much it hurts.
I lost my Rascal 12 days ago and the grief is so intense.
@@faemoonfire694 So sorry to hear that... It's still so hard, but I'm trying to be strong for him :)
It always hits me around my birthday, my dad's birthday, and around the time he passed away. That dosent go away. I feel my mom may have more unresolved grief because she still avoids many of the triggers. She tries to distract herself instead of taking about it. Useful video for anyone who has lost a loved one
I love your channel & how soothing your voice sounds. Thank you for this.😊💖
I can't move on from my "ex" )-;
I don't talk to her anymore becuz I'm trying to move on, but I feel like a complete ass in the proces.
Its been 5 months now and I don't know why.
She broke up with me by text so why do as feel like an ass for tryinging to move on with my life.
Why is love so hard!? When did it become a power thing!?
I hope all of you find love and happiness!
Huh, sounds almost like ptsd. At least as far as toxic stress goes
I wish someone told me this. I felt all points to the core. Every since my young brother passed I have been getting sick more often, not to mention I have range of body discomfort that had my overthinking brain convince it's cancer or that I will die of a stroke like he did. 3 months have passed and I can't seem to pull it together as I did before. I certainly feel as if this grief over my only bro is going to have me drown in it. Depression is already worse. Anxiety (especially health anxiety) is through the roof. I hope it will get better in time. Universe grant strength and health to all of us hurting from the loss of our parent, siblings , spouses, friends. 😔
Its been over a year and I still alternate between constantly thinking about her and trying not to and crying..... I feel like I’ve accepted her being gone from my life.... but then I just can’t stop looking at reminders even though its painful, and avoiding them
I have the broken heart syndrom but is there some ways to make its stop..?
I've had it for eight yrs

I lost my father in 2019 and it still hurts alot. After watching this I'm really concerned about my best friend because her daughter passed away in November 2020 and I'm trying to be there for her and support her the best way I can.
i lost my dad just weeks ago. but i wanted to see what exactly the signs of grief were because i know i’m experiencing it but needed to hear it written out like this. and let me tell you, it is spot on.
i love this style so much
I lost my grandmother in February this year so from February into april,it was hard adjusting to life without her, so all of these listed were relatable to me. I’m doing a lot better now though
I thought I’d moved on since my doggie passed away on october, but last week I had to go to the hospital cause I was fainting too much and was extremely tired and not hungry at all, they told me I was an inmune depressed patient and my body was under too much stress, turns out I was just avoiding the feelings of grief until my body just couldn’t take it anymore 😣😣
This helped me love u guys💖
TW: talking about death and the funeral moment:
I never talk about this, but here goes nothing. My cousin, he was just 16 when he passed away from an asthma attack, about two years ago, I was 14 when I found out, and I just can’t explain how bad my stomach sinks every single time I remember him when he was still with us, and then seeing what was left of him, I miss him so so much, and I’m not very religious, but I just have the feeling that some day, I will meet him again, thank you for this channel, it has helped me so much 🌸
Edit: I am slowly remembering things of the day I saw him the last time on his birthday, because I pretty much blocked everything in my memory, thank you, things WILL get better, stay strong 💕
i understand this...♡♡ better days to come...xx
I recently lost somebody I love so thank u
I love her voice! 💖
I love this animation style!
Ur voice is very soothing
I am thankful you did this. I am still trying to move forward from the sudden loss of my father. I also lost an intimate relationship, they broke it up exactly 2 months after my father passed and 4 days before my birthday. They have only tried to contact me once since the break up.
This was 2-3 weeks after a major hysterectomy surgery I went through. They only reached it because people asked them why I was alone during recovery, plus I posted on FB an update. They didn't want to be perceived as someone who doesn't care.
When I responded to their text, (you know common 'niceties'. I somewhere within the text said "how are you?") They came back with paragraphs stating that they believed they had C-PTSD. I responded one more time reminding them that I have been diagnosed with that since childhood, and can your them resources from within our community, but he then started blocking me.
I know that the grief of sudden of my father this year, my hysterectomy, and the way he behaved and still does is real.
Alright I'm done. I'm sure nobody will read this which i good for me. I just wanted to safely vent where nobody who knows me would ever see.
I used to have a very toxic relationship and we broke up terribly and one sided-traumatically eventually. After that I went to study abroad and I wanted to experience the all of it, so I supressed my grief and acted as moved on. After bottling, excessive thinking sessions, broken heart syndromes and having Covid symptoms for 3 weeks, all that mentioned above basically, I started to live my grief with all deepness, then I started unconsiously avoiding the issue again, then I finally decided to stand up for myself and talked about all I have been through and asked for a cause to calm my mind. After a deep talk I felt more forgiving about her and I finally found the power and courage in me to let go. This had thought me never to think there is wrong time to express and live your emotions. Live them as you are throwing them up, then you will find the power to continure to life. I hope this experience of mine helps some another people here about their problems.
Thank you for sharing
The loss of my son, four years ago, yet it feels like yesterday. I don't know if I will ever be okay!
If I say it's ok I'm heartless if I tell you it's a life sentence I'm not helping you I've lost daughter and son no hope for me sorry x
So I had this friend Dex he was really nice and we we’re friends for three years. I had moved a lot as a child so he was the longest friend I ever had. I had to move again after my parents promised me we would stop moving but tbh I wasn’t surprised. We tried to stay friends but one day he and his family completely disappeared. We lost all contact with them and he basically abandoned me. I still grieve for him and cry about it even though it’s been over three years. I now have terrible attachment issues and it’s one of the roots of my sadness (I don’t feel comfortable to say depression bc I’m not diagnosed btw) I really miss him and idk if I’ll ever get over it.
I mean I haven’t for three years.
We went thru a life & death issue with our daughter..she was depressed over the possible results of the surgery...I dont know why but sent to a greif counselor ...I would go several times myself but it is the second best thing I ever did.(the first being an all girls school)..she changed..surgery went well..shes terrific now and still practises what she was taught in her everyday life..
Realized I had been grieving over our dying marriage even before it was finally over. Now a year after breakup things are getting better. Sometimes I was unsure if I'm over it, but also according to this video: I am. Mostly. I guess?!
These are wonderful videos they can reach all ages
Thank you for this video. One thing I have learned about grief is to take life one day at a time. Take it as a gift. After the loss of my mother to Alzheimer’s 2015/2016 , my prior spouse death 2018, my father 3 mos. later death 2018, loss of my daughter 1 month later 2018, my service dog Jackson death 2021. I have learned that life is best taken one day at a time. At this point hardly anything gets to me. I do not feel the need to turn to alcohol or drugs to dull any pain. I have learned, observed that this world is full of a lot of trouble makers and after what I have lived through (meaning the tip of the iceberg). I am okay one day at a time. 🤔❤️🇺🇸
My mum passed away two years ago, I am still grieving and having some of these symptoms :( She was my whole world and my best friend. The strange thing is that I didn't get these symptoms when it happened, only now, two years later. I must have been in shock all that time.
Please allow me to share my best friend's story with you. This family truly knows where to turn in times of grief.
Family Story
Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day.
My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening.
That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of
a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you.
His Story
Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price]
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Your Story
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son.
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready?
“...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b)
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c)
