I hadn't experienced true loss before my little brother passed. My mom told me to come home one day while I was at work which was odd since I lived over 2 hours away. She told me when I arrived that my brother had shot himself and I just started screaming. I couldn't believe how final it all was. Death is so hard to comprehend without being first hand impacted by it. My brother has been gone for about 4 years now and every time I think about him my eyes well up with a bit of sad and a bit of happy. I miss you Marshall and I do everyday. Stay safe out there guys.

Dude, I love that memory of your favorite shirt... It's so heartbreakingly precious. "MA. ITS PERFECT. It's black, so it matches the funeral vibe. Grandpa is dead, so the skull fits the theme too. And he'd WANT me to wear my favorite shirt... COME ON, MOM." So hilarious, the things our brain holds on to during traumatic times like that. ❤
I have a personal headcanon that this (and the subsequent year-long absence) was the moment when Kenny found out about everyone forgetting his deaths. Up until this point, he assumed they just didn’t care, as shown by his angry rant in Cherokee Hair Tampons. But here? His death is extremely slow, over the course of several days, and he’s able to witness his friends and family grieving him firsthand. As opposed to the majority of his deaths, where they’re over in a matter of seconds, and the most he gets to hear is the “omg they killed Kenny” catchphrase. So he’s given undeniable proof that his friends do indeed feel grief over his deaths. Cut to a year later upon his return, and he’s met with his friends asking him where he was, with seemingly no memory of his time in the hospital. His first response is to lie, claiming that he’s just been “hanging around,” all while the truth finally sinks in for him. They do care, they always have. They just don’t…or rather, CAN’T remember.
@ Indeed, but Kenny doesn’t know that. Or maybe he does, maybe he found out while possessing Cartman, and found out that while he remembers, he just doesn’t care.
My cousin and her husband just had to explain this to thier 3 kids after losing her mom/ my aunt. Their older two probably understood more than their youngest and only daughter. I remember keeping an eye on thier daughter and when my cousin in law came and explained what happened. She started crying and it just broke my heart. It'll be a year in January.
I love it because it seems out of place because before his death they never actually interacted on screen, but it adds a bit of much needed layers to Kyle and Kenny friendship

I was scrolling this comments to see if i see someone similar. For me I was losing my mother. Similar to Stan I was in denial. I tried to avoid as much as possible. My mother felt I do not care for her. However it pained me to see her like that. I even tried to keep myself busy in college and i went to a different city (1800 km away), finally receiving a call one day that she is gone. I still have very less memory of the ride to airport, flight and ride after that. I just want to forget it. But at the same time, I felt myself grateful that I did whatever I could to make her happy in the brief period I was with her. From making jokes with her to taking her out for food (its a big deal, my parents childhood was in abject poverty). Still it pains me to this day (may be survivors guilt), now that all our money problems are gone, we can buy whatever we want (I am not rich but quiet well off in a 3rd world country), but here she was gone at 48 before I could earn anything big. So spend time with your mother.
Thank you so much for sharing your story about your grandfather. I had a very very similar experience when it came to my paternal grandfather getting cancer and passing away as well, except I was a bit older when it happened. Your story really stuck with me. May their memories be blessings 🩷

22:17 ❤Thanks so much for your explanation of grieving. At 54 I have been grieving since I was 12 years old dealing with my first passing experience. Now after losing my mother and father recently I thought I had no reason take carry on in this life, however your explanation of grief and grieving has helped me to see things in a different light.
7:29 my dad died when I was only 3 years old. I barely remember anything about him. However even though I barely remember anything from when I was three I actually do remember the trip to the hospital. I remember talking to him on his deathbed when he was returned home, although I don't remember seeing him die there and that most likely could be because my mom made sure there was no chance of me seeing that. Mom told me much later in life that supposedly back then I said "Daddy broken and Daddy gone."

At the time Kenny REALLY “died” for a while, the creators said they came to hate the character and coming up with ways for him to die all the time. Butters and Tweek were in his place and not sufficient enough for the kids. Kenny came back, and when they played superheroes he was Mysterion and angsty and all, having to repeatedly think “you don’t get it” because his ‘superpower’ is being able to die and resurrect like a zombie without anybody capable of remembering it… so they just think he’s a normal kid, really into his superhero identity. It’s a pretty neat twist. But yeah, the episode was touching … but we spend this time thinking Cartman actually at least sort of sees Kenny as his default best friend, since Stan and Kyle are best friends and care about Kenny but aren’t quite as close, and Cartman and Kenny are “the other two.” The more deviant ones. And then at the end when I was like “if I have to miss Kenny for so long and grieve him too, at least make this Cartman friendship mean something.” Goddamn it, Cartman.
9:08 I was around 18 when i lost my grandfather (on my dads side). Im 28 now. And i still remember burying him and watching my oldest brother genuinely cry for the first time and it broke me. My dad left when i was 6months old but his dad still stayed around and visited us when he could. He was a better dad to us and i still miss him. Im still glad to this day my mom gave me my grandfathers name as my middle name. I remember him more than my own dad. Miss you grandpa.
My great grandfather passed when I was 7. I distinctly remember being in the hospital room and looking at a calendar that said January 4. His was the first funeral I went to, and it really sunk in knowing I would never see him again. It felt strange seeing him in the casket, to the point that I still have trouble with open casket funerals. They’re right there, but they’re not, if that makes sense.
Love ur videos… just wanna say. I am a 34 year old man who uses ur videos to help teach my 9 year old daughter… As a father who’s lost a toddler and has to deal with my other kids coping… there is NEVER an answer… nothing helps. We will always be broken. There’s no fixing this kind of pain. Just masking and staying distracted and as strong as u can for those u have left that depend on u…
Time is a limited resource in life. My mom died when i was 5 and my dad dunped her shortly after getting pregnant. I lost almost everyone in my family and i also almost died once in a car accident. Im ok now but it still showed me how valuable life is. As Tristan Tate once said: never forget to enjoy life you never know how short it really is dont see life as the continuous move of whats next whats next try to reach your goals but never forget to enjoy your life. Personally i regret not caring about my time and my life. People if you are reading this and you have a crush ask them out just do it you will regret NOT doing it more than getting rejected..
I (sadly) think I can't relate to a type of media more than ones that cover grieving. I've only been on this earth for almost 19 years and I've had 7 individuals times where I've gone through intense grieving of losing someone or being deathly afraid of losing someone. It's always so hauntingly beautiful to see media portray these topics so accurately and also show how differently it is for everyone. I cried so many different times while watching both the episode and this video, especially since I lost somone only a couple months ago and opened the old wounds I had from almost 13 years ago. It's so beautiful to be reminded that we aren't the only ones going through this and I'm so glad I found this video and watched it at 1 am. I'm definitely subcribing to you man, you did an awesome job.
Even when I was young accepting death was never as hard as not knowing what happened. I grew up on a farm and was quite the nature nerd, so death was pretty familiar and acceptable at an early age. Death is everywhere, everything you eat. But not knowing what happened, like if a pet or something went missing and I couldn't see a body, makes it hard to find closure. I torture myself wondering if they're still out there struggling, and in some cases blame myself for not being able to find them.
I liked how you talked about loss in this video. I have been to my fair share of funerals throughout my life and I cried at all of them except my grandpa’s. It was in 2017 and I still regret forcing myself to not cry and be strong for everyone else.
15:13 I know exactly how you feel, my grandpa was on the verge of dying every second. Every move and twitch was just another piece of hope that got shattered over and over again, and it would all just build back up because he was still kicking.
I have watched South Park as a kid and into my adulthood. Your channel has opened a completely different side to South Park that I have failed to see. Thank you for opening my eyes to what this show truly is. Thank you.
I've been to some funerals... It was sad, I was sad... Because I liked these people... But If it was my parents that passed I wouldn't be sad I wouldn't even attend the Funerals because I hate them... Feeling on this topic can be... Complex
Honestly as someone who lost a significant other to death, grief was one of the hardest things that a person can go through. I remember when I visited him in the hospital and I saw him all hooked up to all the machines and just hearing the heart monitor sunk my deeper than ever before. I remember the last thing that we did was hold each others hands, and given the disease was affecting his brain more than anything, he just told me that he didnt know who I was or why I was there, but he could tell that I loved him, and I will never forget that moment, not even in death... it was both the most heartbreaking, but also most loving thing anyone has ever said to me. I hold it close to my heart every day.
I remember someone I played soccer with, mind you I suck at it but this guy was really good and he represents the school soccer team. One day while I was in class their classroom classmate come in our class asking for a donation to save his life because he got into a car accident, I wasn't sure if it was him because what are the odds it's someone you know anyways lol? Well turns out it was him and rumour was he got hit by a car driven by an old lady during the night when he was out and about riding his motorcycle which he got the licence for VERY recently, bout 3 months or 3 weeks can't remember. He was 16, I was 17. I didn't feel anything, didn't attend his funeral, didn't ask anymore.
When my niece went to her grandpa's funeral and saw him in the casket, she asked in a loud voice, ''What is Grandpa doing in a suitcase?" That definitely lightened the mood
This video hit me really hard. I had to deal with my mom suddenly passing away this march and it couldn’t be harder. I can’t accept the fact that it’s happened tbh. It’s just too hard.
The way you talk about greaving is really conforting i have lost multiple people, and the way people usually talk about death makes me unease sometimes.
It's hard when you are kids. I had two friends pass in high school (leukemia & a car wreck) before that only my grandma had passed, and the consensus was she led a full life, she's in a better place. But when someone's that young, it just feels unfair.
When I my closet friend was diagnosed with cancer when we were teenagers I threw away my passion for art and perused Biochemistry. Day in and out I'd study like hell trying to find something that can slow down his cancer cells from spreading. Eventually went to college but with slipping grades, financial issues, my pappy's death, relationship problems, bullying/discrimination, and finally opening up about my true sexuality and gender identity I dropped out. Instead of being there for him I helped others before enlisting into the army because that's the kind of person he was and what I wanted to share with the world. Before I left he passed away and that tore my life apart. Even when I went to training I had a DS that was grieving about the loss of his brother too and we had an emotional moment. But four years since then I cut myself off from the world. I stopped taking my hormones after only being on them for two months reverting back to masculine, spending most of my nights sobbing about him, and every time I went to the gym and see high school kids working out there's always that one kid who looks and sounds just like him that echos through my memories until you know it I'm tearing my arms lifting heavier and heavier until the pain goes away. Every holiday, every night, every storm I was at his grave grieving because I tried to save him but failed and what he wanted for all of us is to live our dreams but my dream is buried 6' below ground. Eventually had an accident and went into a near death experience and not only heard his voice but saw him slowing healing and saw his scars all over his face. For that moment and only then I tackled him and screamed like the day when he died. Cradling him in my knees apologizing for failing him until he forgave me. Since then after I woke up in the same hospital, room, and bed where he died I learned how to move on. Got new friends, slowly opening up about my transition goals and sexuality, stronger relationship with my parents, (still money problems), but now after years absent from the army I have a fighting chance to get back in. It's gonna take a while but worth it. Always remember this, G-d doesn't care how you live your life or what you look like, what truly matters is that you keep a strong heart and love for all so one day regardless of your faiths or not, you get to come home to see them again.
I always felt like nothing could take me down. I've had many years where it never occurred to me, I could die any day. Last year, I got in a terrifying accident (hit by a train smashing my car to pieces) I made it through with minimal injury, but the whole experience made me shift my whole perspective. I am thankful to still be here, as the train hit, I thought I wouldn't be.
My step dad murdered my mom when I was nine. I think I’ve gotten over it. But what I’ll never get over is how my family shattered afterward. Everyone turned on each other. To this day every one in my family only has one other member of the family that they talk to. It brought out the worst in us and no one even tried to make it better
My cousin died from an overdose last year and I didn't take it so well. I was getting myself ready to see an Uncle in NYC and had my plane tickets to France on my phone until I was told that my cousin passed away. I canceled my trip and stayed with my family to mourn her death. That was last year. My family has this thing of whenever someone dies you never speak about that person anymore. Sweep the dust under the rug. This post is hard.
My friend group got hit hard because the one we all thought would be the last, ended up being the first. Truth be told, I always thought I’d be first or maybe second of the four of us. But we all agreed the one that went would be the last. Dude was sturdy, never got sick, tough as nails, and one of the most resilient people I knew who took every hardship in stride. Then one day he got by a truck that ran a red light because of a driver not paying attention. He succumbed to his injuries after a few days in the icu.
You can be all melodramatic and what not, but the simple fact is life is temporary. There is nothing to be done about it, if you are lucky you reach like 100 years if you even want that. But it is as it is.
My grandpa died when i was 10 years old everything happened very suddenly they brought him to the hospital and he was dead the next morning in less than 24 hours it sucked that i had to go to school that day i spent the day just crying
Definitely feel this. When my mom died in May I wasn't able to handle it, I cried for three days and for weeks upon weeks, I dunno, I felt little to nothing and it took a long time before my voice even change tone again or I could even manage a chuckle at anything, and I cried for three nights straight. My mind still passes into denial, still hoping for a phone call to take something to her or to come pick her up, but when I pass by the door to her room and see no lights on it's a hard reminder. Tried to post this a few moments prior but my connection divided to crap out and make me feels worse I guess.
Man, this reminds me of when my Pop Pop died. He was having complications with due to his diabetes. I remembered him being in and out of the hospital and then just one of the times when my dad informed me that my Pop Pop was admitted again, I remember thinking, "he's going to die". Idk how I knew. He passed months afterwards. Til this day, I hate myself cause while my Pop Pop was admitted, my dad stated how he would like to see me and gave me option to go visit. I declined....and I still don't really know why I did. I think I was in denial. 15 years later, I can't remember the last time I had saw my Pop Pop but I just hold on to all the awesome memories I was fortunate enough to have shared with him. And idk how, but I literally feel that he's somewhere out "there". And thats not even spurred on by my own Christian background. I miss him greatly but that thought makes me happy.
Last one to die. Because I can sit around and call up those friends and talk about the old times with said friend. And when I'm the last I'll be that old Boomer in the bar talking about stuff we did in the past with those that passed away.
In season 6 Butters became the new replacement for Kenny for five episodes and then Butters gets fired and then Tweek becomes the next Kenny replacement.
While I agree with most of what you said, I cannot stress enough that people need to stop releasing balloons to honor the dead. Eventually, those balloons have to fall somewhere, and they end up being an environmental nightmare. But planting a tree in honor of a lost one is an excellent idea
.i love this episode, the reason why is cause it reminds me of a lot like me when my dad died when i was in fourth grade, on valentines. i didnt know how to cope, and still don't- but it's gotten easier. my dad got sick, and went into the hospital. for 1 month then died. stan reminds me of myself. in denial.
nah this episode made me cry because I related to Stan way too hard the situation was too real it threw me back completely and I'm still in denial from what happened
I thought my grieving was letting it out when I needed to. One day, I was driving past the graveyard where my girlfriend is buried. I hit the gas and held it down until I lost control. It was stupid of me, but it was a back road, no one should have been there. I'm glad they were though, I got lucky, and my friend helped me out of the ditch. I rolled, going 110mph(170kph). I got a helicopter ride and a 3 day hospital stay. Let your grief out in a place where you won't hurt yourself or others. Forgot to add that I have a plate in my arm from the roll over, I see why race cars have a net on the window lol
I remember when I heard the news my nan had cancer, I didnt react (or react like someone would), I remember, I was playing Bayonetta 2 on my Wii U and I was told and I just nodded and continued playing, I should say I have Autism and ADHD But the weeks when my nan was dying, I just buried myself in games, loud music like Green Day and stuff, in my head, it was normal for me but when my highschool called my step-dad in to talk to him because they noticed I was shutting myself out from the rest of the world, he told them whats been going on and how I was taking it and I remember hearing him say it, it clicked in my head that this isnt right, that I wasn't doing what I thought I would do and I inadvertently put on a facade and it was that day that the facade I put on just broke and I realised the real gravity of everything and this isn't the time to shut myself away and should be there, unfortunately I learnt that far too late and a week later, we got news my nan took a turn, we got to the hospital late due to traffic and me, my brother, step-dad and biological mother where in the waiting room when the final news where delivered My nan died 5 minutes before we arrived and the first thing I did was punch the wall because I was angry that I wasn't there but also because I had all these emotions built up and needed to get out Since then, I've tried my best to be there and to enjoy life instead of shutting myself away Life is unfair but life is beautiful
Lost my husband only 46 to colonncancer that spread to everything Inc bones. We caught to late. 2 months later I still hurt. But his Dr being honest fm day one made the process a smidgen easier. He almost made 3 yrs. Was only told may get 2 max
to answer the question near the end, I'd rather be the last person in my friend group to die, because of the only truth in this world "I will be there, always" until the day you die.
At the age of 5, my dad passed away. Since then I feel like a phycopath. My way of grieving was to laugh.. at his funeral for some odd reason I laughed. Now that I am growing up, I still laugh when someone passes. On the outside I’m laughing, but inside I’m crying. For some reason I just can’t show what I’m feeling on the inside no matter what I do. Has anyone else ever felt this? I also think it is bad on my mental health. I feel like I need to let my feelings out, but I can’t.
man this might sound weird but when my grandma died, the first thing i experienced was shock then nothing, it faded fast and moved forward faster. Don't know why, i loved her sure but when she was gone, there wasn't anything.

At the time Kenny REALLY “died” for a while, the creators said they came to hate the character and coming up with ways for him to die all the time.
Butters and Tweek were in his place and not sufficient enough for the kids. Kenny came back, and when they played superheroes he was Mysterion and angsty and all, having to repeatedly think “you don’t get it” because his ‘superpower’ is being able to die and resurrect like a zombie without anybody capable of remembering it… so they just think he’s a normal kid, really into his superhero identity. It’s a pretty neat twist.
But yeah, the episode was touching … but we spend this time thinking Cartman actually at least sort of sees Kenny as his default best friend, since Stan and Kyle are best friends and care about Kenny but aren’t quite as close, and Cartman and Kenny are “the other two.” The more deviant ones.
And then at the end when I was like “if I have to miss Kenny for so long and grieve him too, at least make this Cartman friendship mean something.”
Goddamn it, Cartman.
Grief has a lot of form. However South African Park had done an amazing job with the portrail of all forms of grief.
i love south african park
💀
south african park is crazy
I’d argue that South Korea Park did just a little bit better
Chef's speech was what actually happened to him
9:08
I was around 18 when i lost my grandfather (on my dads side). Im 28 now. And i still remember burying him and watching my oldest brother genuinely cry for the first time and it broke me. My dad left when i was 6months old but his dad still stayed around and visited us when he could. He was a better dad to us and i still miss him. Im still glad to this day my mom gave me my grandfathers name as my middle name. I remember him more than my own dad. Miss you grandpa.
My great grandfather passed when I was 7. I distinctly remember being in the hospital room and looking at a calendar that said January 4. His was the first funeral I went to, and it really sunk in knowing I would never see him again. It felt strange seeing him in the casket, to the point that I still have trouble with open casket funerals. They’re right there, but they’re not, if that makes sense.
Every one: 😢😭
Kenny during 19:50: 😈
Love ur videos… just wanna say. I am a 34 year old man who uses ur videos to help teach my 9 year old daughter… As a father who’s lost a toddler and has to deal with my other kids coping… there is NEVER an answer… nothing helps. We will always be broken. There’s no fixing this kind of pain. Just masking and staying distracted and as strong as u can for those u have left that depend on u…
Time is a limited resource in life. My mom died when i was 5 and my dad dunped her shortly after getting pregnant. I lost almost everyone in my family and i also almost died once in a car accident. Im ok now but it still showed me how valuable life is. As Tristan Tate once said: never forget to enjoy life you never know how short it really is dont see life as the continuous move of whats next whats next try to reach your goals but never forget to enjoy your life. Personally i regret not caring about my time and my life. People if you are reading this and you have a crush ask them out just do it you will regret NOT doing it more than getting rejected..
I (sadly) think I can't relate to a type of media more than ones that cover grieving. I've only been on this earth for almost 19 years and I've had 7 individuals times where I've gone through intense grieving of losing someone or being deathly afraid of losing someone. It's always so hauntingly beautiful to see media portray these topics so accurately and also show how differently it is for everyone. I cried so many different times while watching both the episode and this video, especially since I lost somone only a couple months ago and opened the old wounds I had from almost 13 years ago. It's so beautiful to be reminded that we aren't the only ones going through this and I'm so glad I found this video and watched it at 1 am. I'm definitely subcribing to you man, you did an awesome job.
Even when I was young accepting death was never as hard as not knowing what happened. I grew up on a farm and was quite the nature nerd, so death was pretty familiar and acceptable at an early age. Death is everywhere, everything you eat.
But not knowing what happened, like if a pet or something went missing and I couldn't see a body, makes it hard to find closure.
I torture myself wondering if they're still out there struggling, and in some cases blame myself for not being able to find them.
I liked how you talked about loss in this video. I have been to my fair share of funerals throughout my life and I cried at all of them except my grandpa’s. It was in 2017 and I still regret forcing myself to not cry and be strong for everyone else.
15:13 I know exactly how you feel, my grandpa was on the verge of dying every second. Every move and twitch was just another piece of hope that got shattered over and over again, and it would all just build back up because he was still kicking.
Literally watched this yesterday. Underrated episode for sure
“I just wish my grandpa would have told me he didn’t like my shirt. Instead of dying and making me wear a different one” 💀💀💀🤣
I DID NOT JUST CRY ABIUT SOUTHPARK😭
22:28: Yeah, it's like what Butters said.
Thanks for this video, I’m sorry for your loss.
You make great stuff.
Cartmans hatred of hippies is my spirit animal.
I have watched South Park as a kid and into my adulthood. Your channel has opened a completely different side to South Park that I have failed to see. Thank you for opening my eyes to what this show truly is. Thank you.
I've been to some funerals... It was sad, I was sad... Because I liked these people... But If it was my parents that passed I wouldn't be sad I wouldn't even attend the Funerals because I hate them... Feeling on this topic can be... Complex
I’m sorry, deathbed conversion, you said conversation 😫 I had to no one else mentioned it
This right here is a man on the grind
Honestly as someone who lost a significant other to death, grief was one of the hardest things that a person can go through. I remember when I visited him in the hospital and I saw him all hooked up to all the machines and just hearing the heart monitor sunk my deeper than ever before. I remember the last thing that we did was hold each others hands, and given the disease was affecting his brain more than anything, he just told me that he didnt know who I was or why I was there, but he could tell that I loved him, and I will never forget that moment, not even in death... it was both the most heartbreaking, but also most loving thing anyone has ever said to me. I hold it close to my heart every day.
i really miss chef he was such a great character
I remember someone I played soccer with, mind you I suck at it but this guy was really good and he represents the school soccer team. One day while I was in class their classroom classmate come in our class asking for a donation to save his life because he got into a car accident, I wasn't sure if it was him because what are the odds it's someone you know anyways lol? Well turns out it was him and rumour was he got hit by a car driven by an old lady during the night when he was out and about riding his motorcycle which he got the licence for VERY recently, bout 3 months or 3 weeks can't remember. He was 16, I was 17. I didn't feel anything, didn't attend his funeral, didn't ask anymore.
Probably because you weren’t close to him
2 week's of straight gas bro is speed running becoming a youtuber
When my niece went to her grandpa's funeral and saw him in the casket, she asked in a loud voice, ''What is Grandpa doing in a suitcase?" That definitely lightened the mood
These videos that take SP episodes and break them down into serious analysis are excellent. Best new(ish) channel on YT.
This video hit me really hard. I had to deal with my mom suddenly passing away this march and it couldn’t be harder. I can’t accept the fact that it’s happened tbh. It’s just too hard.
The way you talk about greaving is really conforting i have lost multiple people, and the way people usually talk about death makes me unease sometimes.
It's hard when you are kids. I had two friends pass in high school (leukemia & a car wreck) before that only my grandma had passed, and the consensus was she led a full life, she's in a better place. But when someone's that young, it just feels unfair.
man i miss my dad
When I my closet friend was diagnosed with cancer when we were teenagers I threw away my passion for art and perused Biochemistry. Day in and out I'd study like hell trying to find something that can slow down his cancer cells from spreading. Eventually went to college but with slipping grades, financial issues, my pappy's death, relationship problems, bullying/discrimination, and finally opening up about my true sexuality and gender identity I dropped out. Instead of being there for him I helped others before enlisting into the army because that's the kind of person he was and what I wanted to share with the world. Before I left he passed away and that tore my life apart. Even when I went to training I had a DS that was grieving about the loss of his brother too and we had an emotional moment. But four years since then I cut myself off from the world. I stopped taking my hormones after only being on them for two months reverting back to masculine, spending most of my nights sobbing about him, and every time I went to the gym and see high school kids working out there's always that one kid who looks and sounds just like him that echos through my memories until you know it I'm tearing my arms lifting heavier and heavier until the pain goes away. Every holiday, every night, every storm I was at his grave grieving because I tried to save him but failed and what he wanted for all of us is to live our dreams but my dream is buried 6' below ground. Eventually had an accident and went into a near death experience and not only heard his voice but saw him slowing healing and saw his scars all over his face. For that moment and only then I tackled him and screamed like the day when he died. Cradling him in my knees apologizing for failing him until he forgave me. Since then after I woke up in the same hospital, room, and bed where he died I learned how to move on. Got new friends, slowly opening up about my transition goals and sexuality, stronger relationship with my parents, (still money problems), but now after years absent from the army I have a fighting chance to get back in. It's gonna take a while but worth it. Always remember this, G-d doesn't care how you live your life or what you look like, what truly matters is that you keep a strong heart and love for all so one day regardless of your faiths or not, you get to come home to see them again.
Never thought a video about a south park episode could be so touching
I always felt like nothing could take me down.
I've had many years where it never occurred to me, I could die any day.
Last year, I got in a terrifying accident (hit by a train smashing my car to pieces)
I made it through with minimal injury, but the whole experience made me shift my whole perspective.
I am thankful to still be here, as the train hit, I thought I wouldn't be.
My step dad murdered my mom when I was nine. I think I’ve gotten over it. But what I’ll never get over is how my family shattered afterward. Everyone turned on each other. To this day every one in my family only has one other member of the family that they talk to. It brought out the worst in us and no one even tried to make it better
Thank you for this channel, it's really informative, entertaining, and effective.
My cousin died from an overdose last year and I didn't take it so well. I was getting myself ready to see an Uncle in NYC and had my plane tickets to France on my phone until I was told that my cousin passed away. I canceled my trip and stayed with my family to mourn her death. That was last year. My family has this thing of whenever someone dies you never speak about that person anymore. Sweep the dust under the rug. This post is hard.
9:28 when watching this scene I BAWLED.
Keep it up man just found this channel
My friend group got hit hard because the one we all thought would be the last, ended up being the first. Truth be told, I always thought I’d be first or maybe second of the four of us. But we all agreed the one that went would be the last. Dude was sturdy, never got sick, tough as nails, and one of the most resilient people I knew who took every hardship in stride.
Then one day he got by a truck that ran a red light because of a driver not paying attention. He succumbed to his injuries after a few days in the icu.
I like your documentaries
Thanks a lot Isaac! Hope to be making even more in the future!
Man, I wish I had this advice 8 years ago when my father passed on.
This is exactly how I felt when my aunt passed away at the young age of 40 due to an massive hart attack
My best friend just died. Thank you sir
Hang in there and be the best you can be, so your friend can look down to you and smile from above
Watching chief die was so sad. When he died he took all the goodness he gave the town with him. Damn that fruity cult!
Watched the blooms china one and just found out your channel . Guess today is my lucky day.
Ceric is the Family Guy to Blooms the Simpsons
The part about your grandfather got to me, since I lost my grandfather ALS.
You can be all melodramatic and what not, but the simple fact is life is temporary. There is nothing to be done about it, if you are lucky you reach like 100 years if you even want that. But it is as it is.
I feel bad for laughing at “My wish is to not die”. Death is a tragedy but sometimes you just have to chuckle
My grandpa died when i was 10 years old everything happened very suddenly they brought him to the hospital and he was dead the next morning in less than 24 hours it sucked that i had to go to school that day i spent the day just crying
This video was so good 😢
Definitely feel this. When my mom died in May I wasn't able to handle it, I cried for three days and for weeks upon weeks, I dunno, I felt little to nothing and it took a long time before my voice even change tone again or I could even manage a chuckle at anything, and I cried for three nights straight. My mind still passes into denial, still hoping for a phone call to take something to her or to come pick her up, but when I pass by the door to her room and see no lights on it's a hard reminder.
Tried to post this a few moments prior but my connection divided to crap out and make me feels worse I guess.
Man, this reminds me of when my Pop Pop died. He was having complications with due to his diabetes. I remembered him being in and out of the hospital and then just one of the times when my dad informed me that my Pop Pop was admitted again, I remember thinking, "he's going to die". Idk how I knew. He passed months afterwards. Til this day, I hate myself cause while my Pop Pop was admitted, my dad stated how he would like to see me and gave me option to go visit. I declined....and I still don't really know why I did. I think I was in denial. 15 years later, I can't remember the last time I had saw my Pop Pop but I just hold on to all the awesome memories I was fortunate enough to have shared with him. And idk how, but I literally feel that he's somewhere out "there". And thats not even spurred on by my own Christian background. I miss him greatly but that thought makes me happy.
bru tf im crying to dis
My first time I experienced death I was 5 it was right after my brothers birth like 2 days after my great grandma died
Last one to die. Because I can sit around and call up those friends and talk about the old times with said friend. And when I'm the last I'll be that old Boomer in the bar talking about stuff we did in the past with those that passed away.
Cartman was probably gonna use it for kenny, but after his dead
Decided to do something for himself
I'm not crying, you are!
This one made me think and cry.
13:28: Yeah, that's what I personally call "unrealistic optimism".
My dad was diagnosed too late with liver cancer last year
In season 6 Butters became the new replacement for Kenny for five episodes and then Butters gets fired and then Tweek becomes the next Kenny replacement.
While I agree with most of what you said, I cannot stress enough that people need to stop releasing balloons to honor the dead. Eventually, those balloons have to fall somewhere, and they end up being an environmental nightmare. But planting a tree in honor of a lost one is an excellent idea
.i love this episode, the reason why is cause it reminds me of a lot like me when my dad died when i was in fourth grade, on valentines. i didnt know how to cope, and still don't- but it's gotten easier. my dad got sick, and went into the hospital. for 1 month then died. stan reminds me of myself. in denial.
nah this episode made me cry because I related to Stan way too hard the situation was too real it threw me back completely and I'm still in denial from what happened
I thought my grieving was letting it out when I needed to. One day, I was driving past the graveyard where my girlfriend is buried. I hit the gas and held it down until I lost control. It was stupid of me, but it was a back road, no one should have been there. I'm glad they were though, I got lucky, and my friend helped me out of the ditch. I rolled, going 110mph(170kph). I got a helicopter ride and a 3 day hospital stay. Let your grief out in a place where you won't hurt yourself or others.
Forgot to add that I have a plate in my arm from the roll over, I see why race cars have a net on the window lol
I miss my dad. He did deserve it though.
Bad idea watching this during a bus ride.
im not crying while watching something about south park you are.
Father died when I was 6, I comprehended it
11:05 "these can all be good alternatives for helping bring closure to a child . . . now, lets get back to south park"
I remember when I heard the news my nan had cancer, I didnt react (or react like someone would), I remember, I was playing Bayonetta 2 on my Wii U and I was told and I just nodded and continued playing, I should say I have Autism and ADHD
But the weeks when my nan was dying, I just buried myself in games, loud music like Green Day and stuff, in my head, it was normal for me but when my highschool called my step-dad in to talk to him because they noticed I was shutting myself out from the rest of the world, he told them whats been going on and how I was taking it and I remember hearing him say it, it clicked in my head that this isnt right, that I wasn't doing what I thought I would do and I inadvertently put on a facade and it was that day that the facade I put on just broke and I realised the real gravity of everything and this isn't the time to shut myself away and should be there, unfortunately I learnt that far too late and a week later, we got news my nan took a turn, we got to the hospital late due to traffic and me, my brother, step-dad and biological mother where in the waiting room when the final news where delivered
My nan died 5 minutes before we arrived and the first thing I did was punch the wall because I was angry that I wasn't there but also because I had all these emotions built up and needed to get out
Since then, I've tried my best to be there and to enjoy life instead of shutting myself away
Life is unfair but life is beautiful
I was expecting a south park video not a emotional heart to heart
Damn boi you putting out some good crap
13:06 I don’t think a failing relationship will be solved by a fetus lol 😂
8:10 WOW, i was not expecting that
Lost my husband only 46 to colonncancer that spread to everything Inc bones. We caught to late. 2 months later I still hurt. But his Dr being honest fm day one made the process a smidgen easier. He almost made 3 yrs. Was only told may get 2 max
to answer the question near the end, I'd rather be the last person in my friend group to die, because of the only truth in this world "I will be there, always"
until the day you die.
I"m not crying, you're crying!
At the age of 5, my dad passed away. Since then I feel like a phycopath. My way of grieving was to laugh.. at his funeral for some odd reason I laughed. Now that I am growing up, I still laugh when someone passes. On the outside I’m laughing, but inside I’m crying. For some reason I just can’t show what I’m feeling on the inside no matter what I do. Has anyone else ever felt this? I also think it is bad on my mental health. I feel like I need to let my feelings out, but I can’t.
Grief is a funny thing and u cant even understand your own untill your going through it
man this might sound weird but when my grandma died, the first thing i experienced was shock then nothing, it faded fast and moved forward faster.
Don't know why, i loved her sure but when she was gone, there wasn't anything.
My first knowledge of death was when I was nearly killed by strangulation from a classmate.
