I can't stop the tears. It's exactly as if she was talking about my beloved mother who died over a year ago of brain cancer. My heart is broken, I miss her so much. To this day, I blame myself for everything. I think I finally understood that my mother wanted to live and die her own way.
I love Elizabeth Gilbert. The way she shares herself, through her words, is the most wonderful gift to give to the world. I hope the world keeps reflecting the love she gives right back to her.
There is no such thing as a dying person. There are living people and there are dead people. I get this as a stage 4 cancer living person buying expensive carpets and gorgeuos bedroom furniture I never thought I could afford.
Crying while remembering my mom who just died a few months back, oct 2019. She died from cancer and we fought it for four long painful years. All her children were by her bedside during her final week. It was really heartbreaking seeing the toughest person you knew and loved dearly become so ill and weak. It pierces my heart with agony remembering the difficult days we shared and fought. But she was strong, never complaining, accepting her fate in silence, trusting in God with all her heart and soul. I love you mom, the pain of your death will forever haunt us but the memory of your love and life will eternally bless us with joy and hope.
Here I am a year later reading your comment, my mother gone for nearly five years and my father gone only days ago. It is incredibly painful to watch those you love die. Watching my father die was excruciating and it will forever haunt me as you say, so I get that. Hard to imagine that I will forever feel okay again. Impossible really.
Thank you for sharing... so sorry you lost your dear friend... I lost a friend to pancreatic cancer and it's so painful... tearful and so moving but loved your humour too x x x
My mom was on home hospice and died two weeks ago. I am glad that we had the opportunity to give her a peaceful death. We didn’t have the easiest relationship. She wasn’t always pleasant to be with. However I am glad that I was able to take care of her at the end.
I wish to have slave name that you can rename me my last name to be Gilberts. i’ll be a good slave to you master. I will do everything you tell me to be very obedient. I’ll do your dishes mop your floor clean your bathroom, be at your beck and call and support you in every way possible as required
She's literally sharing the story of watching the love of her life die, yet instead of showing support to her in this grieving time you instead decide to show hate. Look within friend, and find empathy instead of apathy.
Such a phenomenal story teller.

What an incredible and moving testimony. I laughed, I cried, I hung on every word. 👏👏👏👏👏
Me too ... Powerful.
I got here by accident but omg this is beautiful. This woman knows how to tell a story.
Her book "Committed" is a real page-turner and good book!
Yes. I have never even seen her before.

Masterful storyteller...love Elizabeth Gilbert's writing and wish she would write a detailed book of her time with Rayya and Rayya's death.
This is my favorite TH-cam video ever--it's raw yet funny, honest yet well well crafted, enchanting yet woeful. What an incredible tribute 💕
Not all of us are so blessed...what a grand life !😢❤😊❤️🙏🙏😇😇😇 That is so true never goes the way your mind think it should be💕
"wow .. kids... I am from Connecticut" that was epic
You are a master storyteller. I bow to you.
Amazing lesson to learn that what can be perceived as a potential threat ends up being a gift .....the guy on the bike was a gift
Just as extraordinary a Speaker as she is a writer. One of the most authentic, raw, powerful and beautiful things I've ever heard.

Oprah trying to prepare us for her big secret herself, that her and gayle are in love lol
its not so funny ...
Why does the TH-cam algorithm keep showing me Elizabeth Gilbert. I find her incredibly annoying and not at ALL inspiring. Ugh
You can select the option: don't recommend channel

What do you find annoying about her? She is my biggest inspiration
Who do u find inspiring ?!?!
then go away from here. simple.
