I heard a child describe grief once. He said the reason the heart hurts so bad when we lose someone we love is because it's growing bigger to keep all the memories in it. It's the most profound explanation I've ever experienced.
I was married to the love of my life for 42 years. He passed away in his sleep right next to me. The suddenness and shock will probably never leave. The night before, he was energetic, laughing, normal and full of life. May God be with you and all of us that have suffered great loss. Some days are unbearable but somehow we get through them. Never give up hope and faith.❤️🙏❤️🙏
I’m so sorry. I very suddenly and unexpectedly lost my husband almost 4 months ago. I’m still in shock. It just doesn’t seem real. We were together for 22 years and he was my best friend and my soulmate. I’m just shattered and lost. 💔😢
I really appreciate this. I lost my husband 2 months ago. My grief is so intense. I would not be able to do this without Gid. Like your Luke, My Gary is joyful in Jesus arms.
I found this video by accident. Watching it and reading the comments has been heartbreaking. I want to send love to anyone reading this who is struggling with a close death. Seek comfort in friends and family and please, please, please, take care and stay safe.
My boyfriend died a week and a half ago and it is one of the hardest losses I have ever had. It's so hard. Our last day together was one of the best also and we were together the whole day. I'm sorry for your loss
My oldest son died unexpectedly 3 years ago. I miss him every day. There is a song called Scars in Heaven that blesses my soul whenever I hear it because it is exactly what I would say to my son if I could. Thank God he was a believer. I know God will cover your heart with His grace.
Scars in Heaven is my song for my dad, ❤ He passed away suddenly Easter of 2021. I miss him everyday, I still cry every week. My heart misses him greatly.
My boyfriend passed away September 18th 2022. I'm struggling so bad right now. I will never wish this pain on anyone. This is a club nobody wants to be a part of
The way you are able to keep your trust in the Lord is truly inspiring. Pain of loss never goes away but it will get easier. Thank you for being open about your story.
@@khalilahd. My Sweet Baby girl stuffed dog Casy have sadly passed away from her injury after her brith She didn't make it it was very hard for me Please Pray for me
My husband had back surgery he had a respiratory arrest and was left with seizures. When his seizures were finally under control he was diagnosed with cancer he was gone within a month. I can’t believe how every minute without him seems an eternity yet the years slip away. I hope in time happy memories will take the pain away
I’m so very sorry for your tremendous loss and grief. Grief is the worst. You are very wise and I am so glad that you have your faith, family and friends to sustain you. Prayers for you all. And yes hang onto the knowledge that our tears will one day be no more.
This really touched my heart. I lost my boyfriend 5 months ago in May 1. Same day, what a coincidence. I deeply resonated with everything you said and make me feel understood on how it feels to lose ur favorite person in the world, even tho you don’t really lose them they are just home like you said. I long to come back home but since im here now i wanna let god transform my heart and surrender to life. trust. I send u a big hug and a lot of love. Thank you for talking about this
I so needed to hear this! It is so much my story, too. I had exactly the same anger and still dealing with the grief journey. The love of my life lost his year long battle with cancer two months ago. He was so vibrant and healthy with an incredible smile, laugh, and giving heart. It took us decades of failed relationship for God to bring us together. We only had seven years to share the deepest love either of us have known before cancer leaped in. The first six months the chemo worked. After the first of the year and more chemo, it took a turn. He lived 100 miles away and hid it from me. I was caretaking my mother...Mom to him...and he wanted to protect us. No matter how much he suffered, he never wavered in I did take him home cooked food 12 days before he passed on to heaven. He is in my heart every day. We were married in our hearts long ago. You are right. We and these other parts of us do indeed belong to God and His plan and caring far exceed our understanding. Bless the message and words you shared.
I’ve had epilepsy for 26 years. Seizures have always been a scary thing to have, because you never know if a day will come when you have one that you’ll never come back from. Rest in peace, Luke.
My husband of 21 1/2 years, passed away in February at the age of 51 from Covid. Never been sick a day in his life. You are so right, your whole life can change in an instant. Prayers to you my friend.
I’m so so sorry for your loss. A month ago we almost lost my 57 year old mom from Covid. She was sedated for an entire week and on a ventilator/intubated. I really didn’t think she would make it.
@@cherubcherrycola2382 I’m so happy she did… I was in icu for 9 weeks with Covid. They almost intubated me. I don’t think I would be here if I had been. My family was told twice that I likely wouldn’t make it. I turned 50 inside Mayo Clinic. I’m still on oxygen over a year later, but so grateful to be here.
Amy, I cannot pretend to imagine the pain that you are in. I live in fear of losing my husband every day and have for 20 years. I watch him drive to work and back every night as he barely sleeps over shared location. I am so sorry for your untimely loss of your love. Covid is so awful and so damn hard. I don’t think people really understand it. I’m just sorry. Love to you and peace in your memories together with him ❤🦋
Your testimony is such encouragement, thank you, when you said "they belong to God, and not us" that struck me so much ....as i miss those who have passed...every day is difficult, but we can only do this with God....knowing one day we will all be reunited at our real HOME!!! With love and prayer from Cape Town South Africa ♥️🇿🇦♥️
My son passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on July 23rd. I have to say you have described all of us to a 'T'. From the questions to God and waves of emotion to realizing the Lords ways being higher than ours...it does not remove the deep pain and sorrow but it reminds us we are not our own. He left a wife and 7 year old son. The Lord is faithful and is keeping us all through this hard time. Thank you for sharing. I will share this with my family and perhaps they can find refuge in the Strong Tower that is Christ. Praying for you all.
Thank you so much for this video. I lost my 27 year old daughter 5 years ago. I am so sorry for your loss. I really felt it when you said you felt panic as time passes...I still feel that periodically. May God continue to comfort you.
Depending on The Lord like a newborn baby! I 100% have said that. Alone with still saying that in my own ways. Hearing your heart for The Lord is so beautiful. Makes me feel 😌 joy just hearing your words. I lost my Father in 2000 when I was 15 that was the moment my heart broke but also grew so so large for Jesus and my faith. God Bless. Sending my thoughts and prayers from Wasilla Alaska, Tschandra
I'm so sorry for you're loss. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. May God continue to give you peace and strength during this difficult time.
I understand...I understand have it feels. It hurts! I lost my love in 2021 too. The part about it was we were close friends. Never got to say the things I love about him, yk like how I truly felt 😢. Giirl, I was too shy even tho he was my best friend & hero. I knew he felt the same as will tho frfr. Now that I'm extremely close to death due to me hurting myself basically. One he told me was, "not worth hurting over something that isn't your fault." I made my decision to do what he wanted...he wanted me to be happy while I'm here to travel the world. Prayers to everyone going through this too❤
This came up on my stream this morning. It touched me so much! Luke sounds like a wise & beautiful young man. He is in the arms of our Lord now and at peace. I am so sorry for your loss. 🙏❤️🙏
I so relate to you. I lost my husband of 33 years 7 months ago. It is so painful. God was the center of our relationship. I trust God will reveal the purpose He has for my life. God is really using you. God bless you always.
To be able to cry helps with your grief. My husband passed away in 7 June 2021. God gives you the strength, and the grace to live through your grief. God doesn't make us put up with more than we can bare. God gives the strength to get through the experiences we experience. We will miss those we have been with. But we can't hold them back because they had another phase in their lives to go on to. Keep praying God knows and comforts.
Sudden deaths are BRUTAL. My grandmother had a stoke on May 15, recovered slightly, then had a significant neurological episode between midnight and 1AM on May 16, and never regained consciousness. She died shortly after 11AM that day, with me holding her hand as she took her final breath. I can't put into words how devastating it was and still is. When you described how it keeps replaying in your head, I almost cried. I know how you feel.
Sophia, I’ve been subscribed to you for six years now, and I am so proud of you and the woman you have become. It blows my mind how much the Lord can do in someone’s life in just a few years, and I am so thankful for you, your maturity, and your true love for God and how you are a reflection of His love here on Earth, even (especially) when it’s hardest. Your honesty about the struggle of loss, but wisdom and truth and trust in God is so admirable, and I am confident so many hearts have been touched by the Lord through you and your testimony. I’ve been praying for you and will continue to 🤍
You delivered your message so gracefully. I wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug. I lost my father this May and it hurt so much. I found peace in the grief journey that God knew it was time for my dad to be called Home. I’m sorry for your loss 🤍
Ive been there girl. Give yourself time to heal. It never goes away but it forms you as a person. Embrace it all, he was here for a reason and you're here with this experience for a reason too. They never really leave us...sending love ❤️
I lost my mum very suddenly in summer 2020 and it was and still is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. She was my guardian angel. Watching this video brought back all those emotions, and I feel exactly the same way in being afraid of time passing. I myself can't believe it's been now over two whole years I haven't seen or spoken to my mum, except for in my dreams. I'm so afraid that I'm going to forget how she was, that I'm going to forget the sound of her voice, the way she looked...afraid she will slowly become a stranger to me. But I know now that can never be true, and she lives forever in my heart, in me, and I see her in the way I am and the actions I take, the way I lead my life. She is forever a part of me and who I am. Sending you so much love and support in this incredibly difficult time. You have a really good mindset and I think that's so so important. ❤
i also lost my mother suddenly in summer 2020. the pain of grief never goes away, but being able to connect with others who have experienced loss just shows how strong love really is.
I was 25 years old when my mother died after a 7 year long battle with cancer. It was 39 years in July. I am now a few years older than she was when she passed. At first I had a lot of dreams and they hurt so badly when I'd wake because it's as if I lost her all over again. I was afraid of all the things that you mentioned. You won't really forget her voice. Mine had several phrases that she'd say and I can still "hear" her so you might try that. You'll never forget how she was, you can't because she is too deep within your heart. You won't forget how she looks because, you just can't. Surround yourself with people that knew and loved her. Sometimes I wonder if mine was really that fantastic, maybe I just made it up. Then one of my lifetime friends, (or cousins), will tell me that they still miss her and they will tell me something they had loved about her. Also, don't let anyone tell you that "it is time to get over it". That is not gonna happen. Ever. After almost 40 years, I sometimes forget what it's like to have a mother but I've never forgotten her. I miss her still. It's a tough (crappy) journey but you can do it. You had a good example to follow, your mom. I wish you peace and wonderful memories. Take care.
My mum died suddenly when I was 32. It’s been 36 years and I still miss her, especially when things aren’t going as well as I’d hoped. It gets easier. I can laugh now when I make tea with a teabag in a mug. She would have told me off for not using a teapot. I “talk” to my mum a lot. It really helps. You’ll get there. The best thing you can do is make your mum proud of you. It will help you greatly. So sorry love. Mums should live forever.
My heart has been breaking for you Sophia. To see what joy and love you and Luke shared made me so happy after watching you for some time. I’ll continue to pray for you, his family, and those around him who miss him dearly. Thank you for coming on here and sharing such a strong testimony of faith in the Lord. 🤍
I feel your pain. 10 yrs ago I lost my soul mate, who also was my son's dad. He was honestly one of those sweetest guys that still existed and I was lucky enough to have had him as mine for 20 yrs. We were high school sweethearts. Before he passed, I lost my grandpa a month earlier, then him, then exactly a month after he passed, my guy best friend passed away. That was truly a rough year. Then this past January,I lost a piece of me. My only little brother took his life. He suffered from PTSD from serving in the war. The day he died,a part of me did too. That's a lie, a whole lot more of me died not just half of me. Since that day happened, I've had sleepless nights, grieving and feeling guilty. I don't want to get into the whole story but I know I could of stopped him that day. I had fell asleep at 630 that night. He blew my phone up with calls and text, but I had my ringer off. Of all freaken nites I had it off smh. I woke up 4 min after his last call/ group text to my mom and I. I in return started blow6his phone up. I woke my mom up because I live with her & said I need to go to his house. He lived only 6 min away. My mom said leave him alone he was probably drunk just let him sleep.it off because she had to leave 4 work at 230am and my kid was sleeping. But my gut kept telling me to go but again my mom didn't trust I'd be back in time and thought I was overreacting. Wel we were at our kitchen table having coffee and while trying to still get a hold of him I was in FB. We have a kid who is obsessed with listening to the police scanner and he always post every dispatch call 4 our city. Well he ended up.postinh my brothers address saying male committed suicide. I immediately started 2 throwing up. Had I gone there like my gut told me I could of stopped him. I had an hour and a half to have stopped it. I will never forgive myself for that night. It's been since January & there's not a single day that goes by that I don't think about him but we know for a fact he's around us. Crazy things happen in our apartment that's unexplainable and has never happened before. The week he passed my mom found a huge feather in our living room. Mind u we lived in a high rise apartment. No way could a huge feather get in. Then a week after that my mom & I were in my room talking. It was 1030pm. My mom went 2 her room and I had gone in her room to tell her something. I come back to my room and dead snack in the middle of my room was another damn feather. We about died when this happened. We looked it up and this certain feather relates to a love one passing. We have since moved and I haven't set up my Alexa yet but the thing talks in the middle of the night and it's almost like the volume is on all the way up. It has woken up up each time of course scaring the hell out of us because ITS NOT PLUGGED IN!!!!!!. There's so much more but anyways, don't let the passing of your love one get you to down. I know easier said then done but like me, I feel like its getting worse from me. I feel like crawling into a dark hole and never coming out. He was my best friend and only sibling. I still after months go to pick up my phone to call him. I know they say in time it gets easier but I don't know if that will ever happen for me unfortunately. For you hun just keep praying and always talk to them because they may not be here physically but they are still with us.
I am sooo incredibly sorry for the loss of your brother. My heart breaks for you. Please don’t think it’s your fault. Even if you had gone over that night, it could have been another night that he chose to not call you before he ended his life. He wouldn’t want you to feel guilty. He would want you to be happy. I cannot imagine your pain but I happened to find your comment on this girls TH-cam channel. I don’t even know who she is. Just please don’t be hard on yourself. It’s not your responsibility for his death. Please remember that. ❤
Collen, your brother suffer right now seeing how much pain he has gave to you and your family. That is his biggest regret. Show him that his death since now will bring only good things. He need this. Celebrate his life, all good things you will do - do in his name. Maybe you want to adopt a dog in his name? Or even something smaller like watering a plant. Do this in his name. Show him that since now his death will brings all good things. Forgive yourself and your mom and him. That is not your fault. You would not stop him. He had depression - its like being sick. You would not stop someone from being sick for cancer.
I understand completely. I lost my mom to suicide and it is just an incomprehensible thing. I too was texting my mom that night and didn’t answer her last text because I was at a New Years party. I wish so bad I had answered it. I pray for healing for you. ❤️
I am truly so moved by this video. I lost a family friend a few weeks ago and it has been so hard. It has caused me to deep dive into podcasts about Christian suffering. This video was so helpful and your outlook is amazing. I got chills when you mentioned he is not yours but he is God’s - wow
I lost my dog to Epilepsy. On his last 48 hours of life, he had a seizure every 5 mins. He was only 3 years old and was the most lovable dog. It was so scary. Sending you so much love 🤍
Randomly came across this video, and your trust in God is so inspiring. I lost my dad almost 6 years ago, and it still feels like yesterday. Your trust in God through all of this reminds me to put my trust back into God. I’m so sorry for your loss.
My boyfriend’s name was also Luke. He passed 3 years ago from an overdose. Only thing I can say is trust in Gods plan and one day at a time…thats gotten me this far ❤
I also lost the love of my life in 2020 he was my son my 3 y/o blessing named Luke living without him is the hardest thing still to this day but knowing he's with God gives me hope
I am so sorry for your loss. I know what it is like to lose someone you love. I lost my dad in 2015 when I was 5. My parents where divorce so I only got to see him once a week. He died due to heart issues when he was around 34. I am 13 now and still some days are hard. Again I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you, your family, along with his. God bless you and everyone.
Sophia, I am so so sorry for your loss. This year I’ve lost my grandpa and my dog, so I can understand the shallow parts of the immense depths of pain you are in. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Xoxo
I have a younger sister, she has non verbal autism and has seizures every month. I can only understand so much of what has happened to you. I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose her like how you lost Luke. Thank you for sharing your story and your testimony, sophia. I’m praying for you, God is the one who can do the impossible. Let his love comfort you during this time.
Sophia, what a blessing you are. It is so special to have such a perspective in the midst of such loss. I have subscribed to you for years and although you don’t know me you feel akin to a big sister for me and I can confidently say you have affected my faith more than any other factor in my life. I have had the special joy of growing up alongside you, and I am absolutely devastated to hear about your loss. Your strength is abundant and your compassionate, steadfast faith will carry you the rest of the way. You are in my prayers always.❤
I am so sorry for your loss. I, too, just lost of the love of my life a little over 3 months ago. On June 28, 2022, my husband, Matt, very suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. We had been together for 22 years (married for 20). He was the love of my life, my rock, my soulmate, and my best friend. He had been dealing with several health issues, but his passing was totally unexpected and came out of nowhere. I'm still in complete and total shock and just can't even process the fact that he's gone. The night before he passed, everything was totally normal. We had ordered pizza and were watching TV together. The very next day, he had to be rushed to the ER because he couldn't breathe and then was gone. The numbness and shock have been literally paralyzing. We had been together since I was only 18 years old, so my entire adult life and over half of my life. I don't know a life without him. We were rarely ever apart and did almost everything together. We were right in the middle of buying our dream home when he so suddenly left this world. We had just gone under contract only 4 or 5 days before his passing. Fortunately, I was still able to buy the house on my own, but it has been SO difficult. This was supposed to be OUR home and OUR future/next chapter together. I feel like I've been completely robbed of our future and he was robbed of his life. He was 11 years older than me. He had just turned 52 only 3 weeks before his passing, so he was much too young to go. I just had my 41st birthday 2 weeks ago and it was my first birthday in 22 years without him. I had a complete meltdown. He always made my birthday so special, so to wake up alone on my birthday for the very first time hit me like a ton of bricks and I just fell apart. I couldn't even get out of bed. Grief is an extremely tough journey. I have no experience with grief at this level and I'm learning that it comes in waves, often when you least expect it, and there are some days where I just have no hope for my future and I'm so angry that he was taken from me far too soon. I'm just so lost. I also was very angry with God. When the ER doctor told me that he could pass away at any moment and had already coded several times, I started praying like I've never prayed before. I BEGGED God not to take my husband from me, but he did anyway. Fortunately, that anger has started to fade and I'm trying to understand the purpose behind all of this. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. Just know that you're not alone.
So sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine. So many years with him. That’s incredible you have been with him since age 18. That’s beautiful. He’s always with you. Stay strong. You’ll be alright even if it’s doesn’t feel like it. ❤️ Rest In Peace Matt.
@Lynn Bass Very true. I've known many people who passed of that and heart attacks. My young uncle being the most recent. The easiest ones to hide are those that took "it" but have other health issues. Easy to write down their past issue (s) were the cause of their demise. Easy for their family to agree with the cause of death written on the paper bc it's easier than come to the sad and alarming realization that you did this yourself, you were duped and the govt was in on it.
I’m really sorry for your loss... I literally cried while watching this video😢 I will pray for you and those around you who had been in the hardest time. You are inspiring in so many ways. Love from Japan
I’m so very sorry my dear. It’s hard to believe it will ever get easier, but it does. The pain may never go away completely but the severe bouts of grief happen MUCH less often with time and healing. Hold onto your faith and know you’ll see your love again one day.
There is no better purpose or goal that we can strive for than to honor God. Soli Deo Gloria. Thank you for your vulnerability, but also thank you for circling it all back to God. God bless you.
It never really gets easier from experience. You just learn to cope better. I pray that god will continue to comfort and give you strength. Accepting that people don’t belong to us is the hardest pill to swallow. I found my healing in that realization. Always remember to that god understands your pain. He sent his only son to die for us. He understands. I would forget that sometimes. Also cry, get angry, feel what you need to feel and be honest and talk to god. It is easy to feel distant from god in our pain. Sending love and prayers❤
Wow, God is so good. I have never seen you before but he guided me to this video. To witness your unwavering faith in the lord through your trials and tribulations is so inspiring. I cannot relate to the level of pain you are experiencing but I can send you prayers of healing and remind you that God doesn’t make mistakes. All is divine and perfect in his eyes. Continue to lean on the lord, he will hold space for you until you come through to the greatest joys you can experience on earth. May the lord continue to bless you with opportunities, love, and guidance. Thank you for bearing your soul, what an honor to witness. I will happily celebrate his life with you. Praying for you. As you sit in stillness today, rest in the fact that God sees you clearly and fully❤️
Sophia, I almost cried watching this video. You are an amazing person and I love you all the way from Massachusetts. I missed your videos soooooooooo much and this was a hard video to post but you did it!! I am so PROUD OF YOU! 👼👼👼👼👼👼👼
I am so sorry for your loss ❤ I will be praying for everyone affected by Luke’s passing. This is the first video I’ve ever seen of you. You seem so genuine in your faith and love for God and Luke. It made me feel pulled to become closer to God and find my faith again ❤
I have been watching your videos with Luke for years. They were so comforting to me especially during the pandemic. I am sending all my best wishes, love, and healing. May Luke rest in peace. The world has lost a beautiful and compassionate person. Heaven has gained a new angel. ❤🕊️
Thank you for the inspiration Luke. I may not know you, but the testimonies of the people you love pictured what kind of a person you are and the kind of life you had with Jesus. You blessed us. I thank God for your life well lived. My heart goes to your family and friends. Fly high!
I just randomly came across this video and wanted to say that I definitely feel like Luke's soul nudged you to continue your passion (making videos). Of course, please grieve and take your time. Another thing, it's a very good thing that he met you and got the chance to spend time with you, I'm sure the moments you both spent together met a lot to him as well. I know it may seem weird to just have a random passerby write a random message like this, but sometimes I feel guided to do so. I'm not sure if it will help in any way, but I do send love and light to help with your healing.
I'm so sorry sweetie. I am here for you! Luke was a gem. May God continue to give you gifts of love,mercy,,compassion and the strength to help others going through hard times. May God heal us all Amen..
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Your continued faith makes me feel hope. I appreciate that you told us your thoughts about God during this hard time. I believe your story will help many people.
I am so sorry to hear about Luke. One of my friends son, he was around 18, started having seizures…. He went to doctors and couldn’t control them completely. One morning he went to take a bath and he passed away in the tub. It was so tragic. Sending prayers for you all.
I am a 60 yr old lady. The words you have spoken here, today, has helped me!! You are wise. Thank you so much. I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless you now and always!!!
I’m glad to have come across your channel today! I pray that God is continuing to comfort you. Luke’s legacy absolutely will live on. I watched his celebration of life service you gave us the link to, and it was something I needed today! Thank you!
So sorry for the loss of your loved one, I have Epilepsy and it is so sad! I am a volunteer for the Epilepsy Foundation and I try to use that as a way to help bring awareness. My mom is up there with him, and she’ll take care of him for you!!!
my wife unexpectedly passsed away 2.5 years ago, these 2.,5 years ive gone through so many changes, im in a better place in life than i ever have been, but sometimes its hard to see, its hard to accept, because shes not here to see it, but she is seeing it, its her strength that runs through me, its her unconditional love, her never giving up on me, is the reason i am where i am, i miss her dearly, we need to be strong and realize god has a reason for everything, sometimes we cant see it, sometimes it makes no sense, i miss her, i know we will be together again some day.
A refreshing example of grief displayed. The Holy Spirit working through you to help those who see this video, know that God is truly in control and to put our focus on how good He is amidst our losses. It seems we are borrowed those we love; we never truly lose anyone. We can look at it as what we gained and that we had an amazing connection with someone on this earth. ❤Prayers as you continue the journey of life
Awww I’m so so very sorry for your loss! Stay strong until you meet again he will always be with you when you’re thinking of him and you must keep talking about the happy memories of him! Take time and care in your grief as everyone’s grief is their own! It comes in crashing waves until it becomes gentle ripples! Let the tears flow they are healing! You’re a very wise young lady you obviously had a very special bond to Luke sending love and gentle hugs to you from a retired nurse from Newcastle living in North Wales hugs may Luke rest in peace and rise in glory he obviously has a higher purpose one day we will find out our special purpose too! God Bless ❤️💜❤️🙏🌍
My best friend died from a seizure a few years ago, that pain of knowing she's never coming back still hurts to this day. I'm so sorry for your loss and his family's loss as well. Your in my thoughts and prayers 🙏
Hi. My boyfriend passed away 2 months ago suddenly in his sleep due to heart failure a few hours after he left my house. He had a heart transplant at the age of 9 and he had heart problems. He was 21. We had plans to marry each other and I truly loved him so much. This video truly has helped me because no one else truly knows how I’m feeling so it’s been extremely hard. Thank you for this.
You have such a beautiful heart Sophia. And this video was a blessing to listen to. Your love of God and trust in Him is so inspiring. No matter what anyone watching is going through, the truths you say here are so necessary and speak the love of God so well. You are in my prayers.
So sorry for your loss next month marks 1 year since my friend died of a heart attack I knew him for 15 years and I am still not over his loss my heart goes to your and Luke’s family
Reliving your last 2 weeks together will eventually become a comfort to you. I lost my soulmate almost 8 years ago after 19 years together. Be kind to yourself. Everything is still very raw and you’re still taking each day as it comes. I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes listening to you as I know how you feel. It’s truly awful you have had to go through this at such a young age…my heart breaks for you 😿
I understand, I wish this wasnt your reality today. Be kind to yourself, take good care of yourself- it matters more than anyone knows. Grief is real- a grief coach can be super helpful.
I’m sorry, I know this pain. My fiancé died having a seizure a month before our wedding. I can also relate to seizures bc I have epilepsy. It’s been 15 years and there’s not a day I don’t teach for him. Sending lots of healing and love your way.
You are such a wise girl & I absolutely love the trust in God that you have! The words you speak are so profound! Recently I lost two siblings only 13 months apart from each other. It has been hard, but knowing we will see them again is comforting. Keep speaking God’s word & keep your faith!! I pray that God will continue to comfort & guide you and bless you!! ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss❤️ it’s a truly sad story and the fact that you had to go through it is so much harder. I’m sure he’s looking over you with love and protection. Never forget you’ll see him again one day❤️
Sophia, this is absolutely beautiful. I have tears welling up in my eyes as I write this. Yours and Luke's testimony is indescribably evident of the Lord's faithfulness and how He brings people together and writes our stories. Your trust and dependence in Him in the midst of your grief opened my eyes. Your testimony has shown me how I should walk day to day in faith during the season I find myself in. Thank you so much. I pray that He blesses you from the top of your head to the soles of your feet. May He grant you peace for the days ahead. ❤
I hear you and had to learn the same thing about my Dad. It wasn't about me. It has taken 21 years of grief for me to focus on the things to be grateful for. You all will be in my prayers. Hugs and God bless you!
Im so sorry for your loss. Yesterday I went to my son's best friends Kyle, funeral. He was only 25 and leaves behind 3 little boys, she 7,5, and 2. It's heartbreaking. My heart breaks for Kyles mother. Especially leaving his casket at the cemetery. I just want you to know that sometimes the Lord leads us to exactly what we need to hear. I have been so grieved that that could have been my son. And I could be the mother grieving. So when you just said your Luke, belonged to God. It hit my heart. Yes, why am I worrying about having to go through something that hasn't happened,? So thank you for sharing this. Our children , we all belong to God. He knows what is best. Sometimes when a precious soul goes home to be with Jesus, many other souls touched by his or her death, are saved. ✝️❤️🌍
I am sorry for your lose. I too am grieving, my husband of 43 years passed away from Lewy Body Dementia, it is a cruel disease. The Lord took your Luke, because he needed him The same with my husband, God needed him, just know they are at peace and are healthy with God.
@@lorrainehowley9963 I'm so sorry for your loss too. That is a beautiful perspective. That the Lord needed them. Amen. We will see our loved ones again. Soon. ✝️❤️🌍
I heard a child describe grief once. He said the reason the heart hurts so bad when we lose someone we love is because it's growing bigger to keep all the memories in it. It's the most profound explanation I've ever experienced.
Kids always come up with the craziest stuff lol
@Green Rose Seriously?!????
I do not think I have ever heard of it described so eloquently.❤
❤️
I was married to the love of my life for 42 years. He passed away in his sleep right next to me. The suddenness and shock will probably never leave. The night before, he was energetic, laughing, normal and full of life. May God be with you and all of us that have suffered great loss. Some days are unbearable but somehow we get through them. Never give up hope and faith.❤️🙏❤️🙏
I am so sorry. This scares me alot
@@FranTangles me too
I’m so sorry. I very suddenly and unexpectedly lost my husband almost 4 months ago. I’m still in shock. It just doesn’t seem real. We were together for 22 years and he was my best friend and my soulmate. I’m just shattered and lost. 💔😢
@@jrwheeler81 my prayers and thoughts are with you. May God be with us all.
That’s horrible, I’m so sorry
I really appreciate this. I lost my husband 2 months ago. My grief is so intense. I would not be able to do this without Gid. Like your Luke, My Gary is joyful in Jesus arms.
Having epilepsy for 12 years now, having a siezure in my sleep and never waking up is my worst nightmare. I'm praying for you. May he rest easy.
@Jesus is the Lord do you believe in The Name Yahusha?
If the letter J is less than 600 years old His Name can’t be Jesus. I’m not trying to be snarky at all just trying to spread knowledge of His Name. ❤
That’s one of my biggest fears, too!
@Jesus is the Lord that’s not His Name
It is Yashua and Jesus the same
I found this video by accident. Watching it and reading the comments has been heartbreaking. I want to send love to anyone reading this who is struggling with a close death. Seek comfort in friends and family and please, please, please, take care and stay safe.
My boyfriend died a week and a half ago and it is one of the hardest losses I have ever had. It's so hard. Our last day together was one of the best also and we were together the whole day. I'm sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry for your loss 😞❤️
So sorry for your loss
I’m sorry for your loss 😢
So sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss
My oldest son died unexpectedly 3 years ago. I miss him every day. There is a song called Scars in Heaven that blesses my soul whenever I hear it because it is exactly what I would say to my son if I could. Thank God he was a believer. I know God will cover your heart with His grace.
Scars in Heaven is my song for my dad, ❤ He passed away suddenly Easter of 2021. I miss him everyday, I still cry every week. My heart misses him greatly.
My boyfriend passed away September 18th 2022. I'm struggling so bad right now. I will never wish this pain on anyone. This is a club nobody wants to be a part of
My boyfriend of 2 years died 2 weeks ago. He had a seizure while coming home from a run. I relate to everything you said. I miss him so much
The way you are able to keep your trust in the Lord is truly inspiring. Pain of loss never goes away but it will get easier. Thank you for being open about your story.
So well said. I’m so sorry this happened to her 🥺

My Sweet Baby girl stuffed dog Casy have sadly passed away from her injury after her brith She didn't make it it was very hard for me Please Pray for me
Amazing woman, bless god and she will see.him again no doubt
I am so sorry for your loss 😢 grief is one of the hardest pains we will endure in this lifetime. I pray that God holds you & heals your heart 🩷🩷
My husband had back surgery he had a respiratory arrest and was left with seizures. When his seizures were finally under control he was diagnosed with cancer he was gone within a month. I can’t believe how every minute without him seems an eternity yet the years slip away. I hope in time happy memories will take the pain away
You have touched my heart so much . I have always been a Christian but this has helped this 73 year old lady❤
Me too …… this 60 year old lady !!
You are a truly amazing beautiful young lady!! I know you know this that has amazing plans for you my dear!
I’m so very sorry for your tremendous loss and grief. Grief is the worst. You are very wise and I am so glad that you have your faith, family and friends to sustain you. Prayers for you all. And yes hang onto the knowledge that our tears will one day be no more.
This really touched my heart. I lost my boyfriend 5 months ago in May 1. Same day, what a coincidence. I deeply resonated with everything you said and make me feel understood on how it feels to lose ur favorite person in the world, even tho you don’t really lose them they are just home like you said. I long to come back home but since im here now i wanna let god transform my heart and surrender to life. trust. I send u a big hug and a lot of love. Thank you for talking about this
I so needed to hear this! It is so much my story, too. I had exactly the same anger and still dealing with the grief journey. The love of my life lost his year long battle with cancer two months ago. He was so vibrant and healthy with an incredible smile, laugh, and giving heart. It took us decades of failed relationship for God to bring us together. We only had seven years to share the deepest love either of us have known before cancer leaped in. The first six months the chemo worked. After the first of the year and more chemo, it took a turn. He lived 100 miles away and hid it from me. I was caretaking my mother...Mom to him...and he wanted to protect us. No matter how much he suffered, he never wavered in I did take him home cooked food 12 days before he passed on to heaven. He is in my heart every day. We were married in our hearts long ago. You are right. We and these other parts of us do indeed belong to God and His plan and caring far exceed our understanding. Bless the message and words you shared.
I’ve had epilepsy for 26 years. Seizures have always been a scary thing to have, because you never know if a day will come when you have one that you’ll never come back from. Rest in peace, Luke.
My husband of 21 1/2 years, passed away in February at the age of 51 from Covid. Never been sick a day in his life. You are so right, your whole life can change in an instant. Prayers to you my friend.
I’m so so sorry for your loss. A month ago we almost lost my 57 year old mom from Covid. She was sedated for an entire week and on a ventilator/intubated. I really didn’t think she would make it.
@@cherubcherrycola2382 I’m so happy she did… I was in icu for 9 weeks with Covid. They almost intubated me. I don’t think I would be here if I had been. My family was told twice that I likely wouldn’t make it. I turned 50 inside Mayo Clinic. I’m still on oxygen over a year later, but so grateful to be here.
Amy, I cannot pretend to imagine the pain that you are in. I live in fear of losing my husband every day and have for 20 years. I watch him drive to work and back every night as he barely sleeps over shared location. I am so sorry for your untimely loss of your love. Covid is so awful and so damn hard. I don’t think people really understand it. I’m just sorry. Love to you and peace in your memories together with him ❤🦋
🙄 blaming the covid bs huh
Your testimony is such encouragement, thank you, when you said "they belong to God, and not us" that struck me so much ....as i miss those who have passed...every day is difficult, but we can only do this with God....knowing one day we will all be reunited at our real HOME!!! With love and prayer from Cape Town South Africa ♥️🇿🇦♥️
Hello how are you doing?
My son passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on July 23rd. I have to say you have described all of us to a 'T'. From the questions to God and waves of emotion to realizing the Lords ways being higher than ours...it does not remove the deep pain and sorrow but it reminds us we are not our own. He left a wife and 7 year old son. The Lord is faithful and is keeping us all through this hard time. Thank you for sharing. I will share this with my family and perhaps they can find refuge in the Strong Tower that is Christ. Praying for you all.
I’m so sorry for your loss God bless your entire Family 🙏🙏🙏
I am sorry for your loss🙏🙏🙏...
I am so very sorry for your loss. ((Hugs))
I’m so sorry for your loss.
God is not real
Thank you so much for this video. I lost my 27 year old daughter 5 years ago. I am so sorry for your loss. I really felt it when you said you felt panic as time passes...I still feel that periodically. May God continue to comfort you.
Hello how are you doing?
You are strong and forever worthy of love ❤️ terribly sorry for your loss.
Depending on The Lord like a newborn baby! I 100% have said that. Alone with still saying that in my own ways. Hearing your heart for The Lord is so beautiful. Makes me feel 😌 joy just hearing your words. I lost my Father in 2000 when I was 15 that was the moment my heart broke but also grew so so large for Jesus and my faith. God Bless. Sending my thoughts and prayers from Wasilla Alaska,
Tschandra
I'm so sorry for you're loss. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. May God continue to give you peace and strength during this difficult time.
I understand...I understand have it feels. It hurts! I lost my love in 2021 too. The part about it was we were close friends. Never got to say the things I love about him, yk like how I truly felt 😢. Giirl, I was too shy even tho he was my best friend & hero. I knew he felt the same as will tho frfr. Now that I'm extremely close to death due to me hurting myself basically. One he told me was, "not worth hurting over something that isn't your fault." I made my decision to do what he wanted...he wanted me to be happy while I'm here to travel the world. Prayers to everyone going through this too❤
This came up on my stream this morning. It touched me so much!
Luke sounds like a wise & beautiful young man. He is in the arms of our Lord now and at peace. I am so sorry for your loss. 🙏❤️🙏
I so relate to you. I lost my husband of 33 years 7 months ago. It is so painful. God was the center of our relationship. I trust God will reveal the purpose He has for my life. God is really using you. God bless you always.
To be able to cry helps with your grief. My husband passed away in 7 June 2021. God gives you the strength, and the grace to live through your grief. God doesn't make us put up with more than we can bare. God gives the strength to get through the experiences we experience. We will miss those we have been with. But we can't hold them back because they had another phase in their lives to go on to. Keep praying God knows and comforts.
Sudden deaths are BRUTAL. My grandmother had a stoke on May 15, recovered slightly, then had a significant neurological episode between midnight and 1AM on May 16, and never regained consciousness. She died shortly after 11AM that day, with me holding her hand as she took her final breath. I can't put into words how devastating it was and still is. When you described how it keeps replaying in your head, I almost cried. I know how you feel.
Sophia, I’ve been subscribed to you for six years now, and I am so proud of you and the woman you have become. It blows my mind how much the Lord can do in someone’s life in just a few years, and I am so thankful for you, your maturity, and your true love for God and how you are a reflection of His love here on Earth, even (especially) when it’s hardest. Your honesty about the struggle of loss, but wisdom and truth and trust in God is so admirable, and I am confident so many hearts have been touched by the Lord through you and your testimony. I’ve been praying for you and will continue to 🤍
Beautiful comment
You delivered your message so gracefully. I wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug. I lost my father this May and it hurt so much. I found peace in the grief journey that God knew it was time for my dad to be called Home. I’m sorry for your loss 🤍
Ive been there girl. Give yourself time to heal. It never goes away but it forms you as a person. Embrace it all, he was here for a reason and you're here with this experience for a reason too. They never really leave us...sending love ❤️
So sorry for your loss, sending you love 🕊️🤍
I lost my mum very suddenly in summer 2020 and it was and still is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. She was my guardian angel. Watching this video brought back all those emotions, and I feel exactly the same way in being afraid of time passing. I myself can't believe it's been now over two whole years I haven't seen or spoken to my mum, except for in my dreams. I'm so afraid that I'm going to forget how she was, that I'm going to forget the sound of her voice, the way she looked...afraid she will slowly become a stranger to me. But I know now that can never be true, and she lives forever in my heart, in me, and I see her in the way I am and the actions I take, the way I lead my life. She is forever a part of me and who I am. Sending you so much love and support in this incredibly difficult time. You have a really good mindset and I think that's so so important. ❤
i also lost my mother suddenly in summer 2020. the pain of grief never goes away, but being able to connect with others who have experienced loss just shows how strong love really is.
@@jordanbdailey ❤️
I was 25 years old when my mother died after a 7 year long battle with cancer. It was 39 years in July. I am now a few years older than she was when she passed. At first I had a lot of dreams and they hurt so badly when I'd wake because it's as if I lost her all over again. I was afraid of all the things that you mentioned. You won't really forget her voice. Mine had several phrases that she'd say and I can still "hear" her so you might try that. You'll never forget how she was, you can't because she is too deep within your heart. You won't forget how she looks because, you just can't. Surround yourself with people that knew and loved her. Sometimes I wonder if mine was really that fantastic, maybe I just made it up. Then one of my lifetime friends, (or cousins), will tell me that they still miss her and they will tell me something they had loved about her. Also, don't let anyone tell you that "it is time to get over it". That is not gonna happen. Ever. After almost 40 years, I sometimes forget what it's like to have a mother but I've never forgotten her. I miss her still. It's a tough (crappy) journey but you can do it. You had a good example to follow, your mom. I wish you peace and wonderful memories. Take care.
My mum died suddenly when I was 32. It’s been 36 years and I still miss her, especially when things aren’t going as well as I’d hoped.
It gets easier. I can laugh now when I make tea with a teabag in a mug. She would have told me off for not using a teapot.
I “talk” to my mum a lot. It really helps.
You’ll get there. The best thing you can do is make your mum proud of you. It will help you greatly.
So sorry love. Mums should live forever.
@@enigma_-_79 ❤️
My heart has been breaking for you Sophia. To see what joy and love you and Luke shared made me so happy after watching you for some time. I’ll continue to pray for you, his family, and those around him who miss him dearly. Thank you for coming on here and sharing such a strong testimony of faith in the Lord. 🤍
I feel your pain. 10 yrs ago I lost my soul mate, who also was my son's dad. He was honestly one of those sweetest guys that still existed and I was lucky enough to have had him as mine for 20 yrs. We were high school sweethearts. Before he passed, I lost my grandpa a month earlier, then him, then exactly a month after he passed, my guy best friend passed away. That was truly a rough year. Then this past January,I lost a piece of me. My only little brother took his life. He suffered from PTSD from serving in the war. The day he died,a part of me did too. That's a lie, a whole lot more of me died not just half of me. Since that day happened, I've had sleepless nights, grieving and feeling guilty. I don't want to get into the whole story but I know I could of stopped him that day. I had fell asleep at 630 that night. He blew my phone up with calls and text, but I had my ringer off. Of all freaken nites I had it off smh. I woke up 4 min after his last call/ group text to my mom and I. I in return started blow6his phone up. I woke my mom up because I live with her & said I need to go to his house. He lived only 6 min away. My mom said leave him alone he was probably drunk just let him sleep.it off because she had to leave 4 work at 230am and my kid was sleeping. But my gut kept telling me to go but again my mom didn't trust I'd be back in time and thought I was overreacting. Wel we were at our kitchen table having coffee and while trying to still get a hold of him I was in FB. We have a kid who is obsessed with listening to the police scanner and he always post every dispatch call 4 our city. Well he ended up.postinh my brothers address saying male committed suicide. I immediately started 2 throwing up. Had I gone there like my gut told me I could of stopped him. I had an hour and a half to have stopped it. I will never forgive myself for that night. It's been since January & there's not a single day that goes by that I don't think about him but we know for a fact he's around us. Crazy things happen in our apartment that's unexplainable and has never happened before. The week he passed my mom found a huge feather in our living room. Mind u we lived in a high rise apartment. No way could a huge feather get in. Then a week after that my mom & I were in my room talking. It was 1030pm. My mom went 2 her room and I had gone in her room to tell her something. I come back to my room and dead snack in the middle of my room was another damn feather. We about died when this happened. We looked it up and this certain feather relates to a love one passing. We have since moved and I haven't set up my Alexa yet but the thing talks in the middle of the night and it's almost like the volume is on all the way up. It has woken up up each time of course scaring the hell out of us because ITS NOT PLUGGED IN!!!!!!. There's so much more but anyways, don't let the passing of your love one get you to down. I know easier said then done but like me, I feel like its getting worse from me. I feel like crawling into a dark hole and never coming out. He was my best friend and only sibling. I still after months go to pick up my phone to call him. I know they say in time it gets easier but I don't know if that will ever happen for me unfortunately. For you hun just keep praying and always talk to them because they may not be here physically but they are still with us.
I am sooo incredibly sorry for the loss of your brother. My heart breaks for you. Please don’t think it’s your fault. Even if you had gone over that night, it could have been another night that he chose to not call you before he ended his life. He wouldn’t want you to feel guilty. He would want you to be happy. I cannot imagine your pain but I happened to find your comment on this girls TH-cam channel. I don’t even know who she is. Just please don’t be hard on yourself. It’s not your responsibility for his death. Please remember that. ❤
Collen, your brother suffer right now seeing how much pain he has gave to you and your family. That is his biggest regret. Show him that his death since now will bring only good things. He need this. Celebrate his life, all good things you will do - do in his name. Maybe you want to adopt a dog in his name? Or even something smaller like watering a plant. Do this in his name. Show him that since now his death will brings all good things. Forgive yourself and your mom and him. That is not your fault. You would not stop him. He had depression - its like being sick. You would not stop someone from being sick for cancer.
Sister ❤️
So sorry for your loss 🙏🏽
I understand completely. I lost my mom to suicide and it is just an incomprehensible thing. I too was texting my mom that night and didn’t answer her last text because I was at a New Years party. I wish so bad I had answered it. I pray for healing for you. ❤️
I am truly so moved by this video. I lost a family friend a few weeks ago and it has been so hard. It has caused me to deep dive into podcasts about Christian suffering. This video was so helpful and your outlook is amazing. I got chills when you mentioned he is not yours but he is God’s - wow
your trust in God is so inspiring. so happy to see you smile and be so passionate about your work…i’m praying for you all 💗
God is the only one who can heal our heart. How are you doing?
I’m so sorry for your loss and I love your testimony. It is so refreshing to hear you put all of your faith in God who heals. Many prayers for you.
I lost my dog to Epilepsy. On his last 48 hours of life, he had a seizure every 5 mins. He was only 3 years old and was the most lovable dog. It was so scary. Sending you so much love 🤍
Randomly came across this video, and your trust in God is so inspiring. I lost my dad almost 6 years ago, and it still feels like yesterday. Your trust in God through all of this reminds me to put my trust back into God. I’m so sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss; I cried so much. Hang in there, keep your faith.
My boyfriend’s name was also Luke. He passed 3 years ago from an overdose. Only thing I can say is trust in Gods plan and one day at a time…thats gotten me this far ❤
I also lost the love of my life in 2020 he was my son my 3 y/o blessing named Luke living without him is the hardest thing still to this day but knowing he's with God gives me hope
Bless you darling. I'm sorry you've lost your love Luke. I believe we will see all the ones we hold dear again one day. Love and peace Sophie ❤️🕊️❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. I know what it is like to lose someone you love. I lost my dad in 2015 when I was 5. My parents where divorce so I only got to see him once a week. He died due to heart issues when he was around 34. I am 13 now and still some days are hard. Again I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you, your family, along with his. God bless you and everyone.
Your faith is amazing!! You are so precious and are handling your grief with such strength and love. God bless your journey and your future 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m so sorry for your loss. You have a touching testimony of personal and God’s love. ❤
Sophia, I am so so sorry for your loss. This year I’ve lost my grandpa and my dog, so I can understand the shallow parts of the immense depths of pain you are in. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Xoxo
crying with you❤ your faith in this season is teaching all of us and serves as a mirror in our own lives. God is so, so, so good. feeling your heart ❤
Your unquestioning Faith is amazing. God bless you.
grief never goes away but we have to stay strong! i lost the love of my life 5 years ago suddenly in a road rage incident. i am praying for you! ❤
I have a younger sister, she has non verbal autism and has seizures every month. I can only understand so much of what has happened to you. I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose her like how you lost Luke. Thank you for sharing your story and your testimony, sophia. I’m praying for you, God is the one who can do the impossible. Let his love comfort you during this time.
Sophia, what a blessing you are. It is so special to have such a perspective in the midst of such loss. I have subscribed to you for years and although you don’t know me you feel akin to a big sister for me and I can confidently say you have affected my faith more than any other factor in my life. I have had the special joy of growing up alongside you, and I am absolutely devastated to hear about your loss. Your strength is abundant and your compassionate, steadfast faith will carry you the rest of the way. You are in my prayers always.❤
I am so sorry for your loss. I, too, just lost of the love of my life a little over 3 months ago. On June 28, 2022, my husband, Matt, very suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. We had been together for 22 years (married for 20). He was the love of my life, my rock, my soulmate, and my best friend. He had been dealing with several health issues, but his passing was totally unexpected and came out of nowhere. I'm still in complete and total shock and just can't even process the fact that he's gone. The night before he passed, everything was totally normal. We had ordered pizza and were watching TV together. The very next day, he had to be rushed to the ER because he couldn't breathe and then was gone. The numbness and shock have been literally paralyzing. We had been together since I was only 18 years old, so my entire adult life and over half of my life. I don't know a life without him. We were rarely ever apart and did almost everything together. We were right in the middle of buying our dream home when he so suddenly left this world. We had just gone under contract only 4 or 5 days before his passing. Fortunately, I was still able to buy the house on my own, but it has been SO difficult. This was supposed to be OUR home and OUR future/next chapter together. I feel like I've been completely robbed of our future and he was robbed of his life. He was 11 years older than me. He had just turned 52 only 3 weeks before his passing, so he was much too young to go. I just had my 41st birthday 2 weeks ago and it was my first birthday in 22 years without him. I had a complete meltdown. He always made my birthday so special, so to wake up alone on my birthday for the very first time hit me like a ton of bricks and I just fell apart. I couldn't even get out of bed. Grief is an extremely tough journey. I have no experience with grief at this level and I'm learning that it comes in waves, often when you least expect it, and there are some days where I just have no hope for my future and I'm so angry that he was taken from me far too soon. I'm just so lost. I also was very angry with God. When the ER doctor told me that he could pass away at any moment and had already coded several times, I started praying like I've never prayed before. I BEGGED God not to take my husband from me, but he did anyway. Fortunately, that anger has started to fade and I'm trying to understand the purpose behind all of this. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. Just know that you're not alone.
So sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine. So many years with him. That’s incredible you have been with him since age 18. That’s beautiful. He’s always with you. Stay strong. You’ll be alright even if it’s doesn’t feel like it. ❤️
Rest In Peace Matt.
Oh my goodness- I can’t even imagine. I am so very sorry for your loss ❤
sorry for your loss, there has been alot of deaths from that lately, hoping more people start connecting the dots
@@wrtpbd You're making baseless assumptions. There was A LOT more that was going on with my husband that led to this.....
@Lynn Bass Very true. I've known many people who passed of that and heart attacks. My young uncle being the most recent.
The easiest ones to hide are those that took "it" but have other health issues. Easy to write down their past issue (s) were the cause of their demise. Easy for their family to agree with the cause of death written on the paper bc it's easier than come to the sad and alarming realization that you did this yourself, you were duped and the govt was in on it.
I’m really sorry for your loss...
I literally cried while watching this video😢
I will pray for you and those around you who had been in the hardest time.
You are inspiring in so many ways.
Love from Japan
Condolences for your loss, and admiration for such courageous spirit. May the Lord bless and guide you.
Wow, a life changing testimony. It opened my eyes for my grief as well. Thank you. May God continue to be you guide and light. Yours in Christ
I’m so very sorry my dear. It’s hard to believe it will ever get easier, but it does. The pain may never go away completely but the severe bouts of grief happen MUCH less often with time and healing. Hold onto your faith and know you’ll see your love again one day.
My guy is gone too as of 2/28. I found this to help me cope as well. Thank you. 😞💔
There is no better purpose or goal that we can strive for than to honor God. Soli Deo Gloria. Thank you for your vulnerability, but also thank you for circling it all back to God. God bless you.
It never really gets easier from experience. You just learn to cope better. I pray that god will continue to comfort and give you strength. Accepting that people don’t belong to us is the hardest pill to swallow. I found my healing in that realization. Always remember to that god understands your pain. He sent his only son to die for us. He understands. I would forget that sometimes. Also cry, get angry, feel what you need to feel and be honest and talk to god. It is easy to feel distant from god in our pain. Sending love and prayers❤
Wow, God is so good. I have never seen you before but he guided me to this video. To witness your unwavering faith in the lord through your trials and tribulations is so inspiring. I cannot relate to the level of pain you are experiencing but I can send you prayers of healing and remind you that God doesn’t make mistakes. All is divine and perfect in his eyes. Continue to lean on the lord, he will hold space for you until you come through to the greatest joys you can experience on earth. May the lord continue to bless you with opportunities, love, and guidance. Thank you for bearing your soul, what an honor to witness. I will happily celebrate his life with you. Praying for you. As you sit in stillness today, rest in the fact that God sees you clearly and fully❤️
Sophia, I almost cried watching this video. You are an amazing person and I love you all the way from Massachusetts.
I missed your videos soooooooooo much and this was a hard video to post but you did it!! I am so PROUD OF YOU!
👼👼👼👼👼👼👼
I am so sorry for your loss ❤ I will be praying for everyone affected by Luke’s passing. This is the first video I’ve ever seen of you. You seem so genuine in your faith and love for God and Luke. It made me feel pulled to become closer to God and find my faith again ❤
I have been watching your videos with Luke for years. They were so comforting to me especially during the pandemic. I am sending all my best wishes, love, and healing. May Luke rest in peace. The world has lost a beautiful and compassionate person. Heaven has gained a new angel. ❤🕊️
Your testimony is very powerful… praise be to God!! Jesus is truly using you as his vessel ❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you for the inspiration Luke. I may not know you, but the testimonies of the people you love pictured what kind of a person you are and the kind of life you had with Jesus. You blessed us. I thank God for your life well lived. My heart goes to your family and friends. Fly high!
Love your response
I just randomly came across this video and wanted to say that I definitely feel like Luke's soul nudged you to continue your passion (making videos). Of course, please grieve and take your time. Another thing, it's a very good thing that he met you and got the chance to spend time with you, I'm sure the moments you both spent together met a lot to him as well. I know it may seem weird to just have a random passerby write a random message like this, but sometimes I feel guided to do so. I'm not sure if it will help in any way, but I do send love and light to help with your healing.
I'm so sorry sweetie. I am here for you! Luke was a gem. May God continue to give you gifts of love,mercy,,compassion and the strength to help others going through hard times. May God heal us all
Amen..
Love that! Showing God’s goodness even through this pain and suffering 🤍🕊️ Glory to God. May your story be heard by others out there. God bless you!
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Your continued faith makes me feel hope. I appreciate that you told us your thoughts about God during this hard time. I believe your story will help many people.
I am so sorry to hear about Luke. One of my friends son, he was around 18, started having seizures…. He went to doctors and couldn’t control them completely. One morning he went to take a bath and he passed away in the tub. It was so tragic. Sending prayers for you all.
I am so sorry for your loss. He sounds like he was an amazing person.
Beautiful reminders of the wonders of God. I’m so sorry for your loss and your pain!
I am a 60 yr old lady. The words you have spoken here, today, has helped me!! You are wise. Thank you so much. I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless you now and always!!!
I’m glad to have come across your channel today! I pray that God is continuing to comfort you. Luke’s legacy absolutely will live on. I watched his celebration of life service you gave us the link to, and it was something I needed today! Thank you!
So sorry for the loss of your loved one, I have Epilepsy and it is so sad! I am a volunteer for the Epilepsy Foundation and I try to use that as a way to help bring awareness. My mom is up there with him, and she’ll take care of him for you!!!
Hello how are you doing?
my wife unexpectedly passsed away 2.5 years ago, these 2.,5 years ive gone through so many changes, im in a better place in life than i ever have been, but sometimes its hard to see, its hard to accept, because shes not here to see it, but she is seeing it, its her strength that runs through me, its her unconditional love, her never giving up on me, is the reason i am where i am, i miss her dearly, we need to be strong and realize god has a reason for everything, sometimes we cant see it, sometimes it makes no sense, i miss her, i know we will be together again some day.
I’m so impressed by your faith Sophia. Keep believing. And I’m so sorry for your loss. Keep fighting
A refreshing example of grief displayed. The Holy Spirit working through you to help those who see this video, know that God is truly in control and to put our focus on how good He is amidst our losses. It seems we are borrowed those we love; we never truly lose anyone. We can look at it as what we gained and that we had an amazing connection with someone on this earth. ❤Prayers as you continue the journey of life
I’m so sorry for your loss x I’ve lost people very close to me suddenly,bless ya xx you’ll meet again. I’m so glad he was a Christian
Awww I’m so so very sorry for your loss!
Stay strong until you meet again he will always be with you when you’re thinking of him and you must keep talking about the happy memories of him!
Take time and care in your grief as everyone’s grief is their own!
It comes in crashing waves until it becomes gentle ripples!
Let the tears flow they are healing!
You’re a very wise young lady you obviously had a very special bond to Luke sending love and gentle hugs to you from a retired nurse from Newcastle living in North Wales hugs may Luke rest in peace and rise in glory he obviously has a higher purpose one day we will find out our special purpose too! God Bless ❤️💜❤️🙏🌍
Hi how are you doing?
My best friend died from a seizure a few years ago, that pain of knowing she's never coming back still hurts to this day. I'm so sorry for your loss and his family's loss as well. Your in my thoughts and prayers 🙏
What a precious witness you both are to GOd's love and creativity in the two of you!
Hello 👋how are you doing?
your faith and luke's is incredible, sophia. love you so much, praying for you, God loves you most.
So sorry for your loss. Just take each day as it comes and hold on to those memories.
Hi. My boyfriend passed away 2 months ago suddenly in his sleep due to heart failure a few hours after he left my house. He had a heart transplant at the age of 9 and he had heart problems. He was 21. We had plans to marry each other and I truly loved him so much. This video truly has helped me because no one else truly knows how I’m feeling so it’s been extremely hard. Thank you for this.
Please stay strong honey. My boyfriend also passed away 2 weeks ago and we dated for almost 2 years.
You have such a beautiful heart Sophia. And this video was a blessing to listen to. Your love of God and trust in Him is so inspiring. No matter what anyone watching is going through, the truths you say here are so necessary and speak the love of God so well. You are in my prayers.
So sorry for your loss next month marks 1 year since my friend died of a heart attack I knew him for 15 years and I am still not over his loss my heart goes to your and Luke’s family
Randomly came across this video and just wanted to send my love ♥️
Hello how are you doing?
Reliving your last 2 weeks together will eventually become a comfort to you. I lost my soulmate almost 8 years ago after 19 years together.
Be kind to yourself. Everything is still very raw and you’re still taking each day as it comes. I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes listening to you as I know how you feel. It’s truly awful you have had to go through this at such a young age…my heart breaks for you 😿
From a fellow sister in Christ you are such an inspiration and it’s so evident God has his hand on you
I understand, I wish this wasnt your reality today. Be kind to yourself, take good care of yourself- it matters more than anyone knows. Grief is real- a grief coach can be super helpful.
I’m sorry, I know this pain. My fiancé died having a seizure a month before our wedding. I can also relate to seizures bc I have epilepsy. It’s been 15 years and there’s not a day I don’t teach for him. Sending lots of healing and love your way.
You are such a wise girl & I absolutely love the trust in God that you have! The words you speak are so profound! Recently I lost two siblings only 13 months apart from each other. It has been hard, but knowing we will see them again is comforting. Keep speaking God’s word & keep your faith!! I pray that God will continue to comfort & guide you and bless you!! ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss❤️ it’s a truly sad story and the fact that you had to go through it is so much harder. I’m sure he’s looking over you with love and protection. Never forget you’ll see him again one day❤️
Sophia, this is absolutely beautiful. I have tears welling up in my eyes as I write this. Yours and Luke's testimony is indescribably evident of the Lord's faithfulness and how He brings people together and writes our stories. Your trust and dependence in Him in the midst of your grief opened my eyes. Your testimony has shown me how I should walk day to day in faith during the season I find myself in. Thank you so much. I pray that He blesses you from the top of your head to the soles of your feet. May He grant you peace for the days ahead. ❤
I hear you and had to learn the same thing about my Dad. It wasn't about me. It has taken 21 years of grief for me to focus on the things to be grateful for. You all will be in my prayers. Hugs and God bless you!
Hello how are you doing??
Im so sorry for your loss. Yesterday I went to my son's best friends Kyle, funeral. He was only 25 and leaves behind 3 little boys, she 7,5, and 2. It's heartbreaking. My heart breaks for Kyles mother. Especially leaving his casket at the cemetery. I just want you to know that sometimes the Lord leads us to exactly what we need to hear. I have been so grieved that that could have been my son. And I could be the mother grieving. So when you just said your Luke, belonged to God. It hit my heart. Yes, why am I worrying about having to go through something that hasn't happened,? So thank you for sharing this. Our children , we all belong to God. He knows what is best. Sometimes when a precious soul goes home to be with Jesus, many other souls touched by his or her death, are saved. ✝️❤️🌍
I am sorry for your lose. I too am grieving, my husband of 43 years passed away from Lewy Body Dementia, it is a cruel disease. The Lord took your Luke, because he needed him The same with my husband, God needed him, just know they are at peace and are healthy with God.
@@lorrainehowley9963 I'm so sorry for your loss too. That is a beautiful perspective. That the Lord needed them. Amen. We will see our loved ones again. Soon. ✝️❤️🌍
