I'm sorry he lost his mum when he was only 10 but using this as an excuse for not being able to tie his shoes or tell the time is pathetic I've got grandchildren under five who can do both they're some of the first things kids learn to do

Joey’s inner child was telling him not to deal with the grief because it was too painful. But in seeking help he was able with his adult head ease that grief and appreciate the time they had. This will be monumental for him.
The vast majority of people who are born loose their parents but they don't make a career out of it they bury them and move on letting them rest in peace not using their deaths as a way to become a celebrity that's disgusting and disrespectful. He'd dig his parents up and have them in the studio if he thought he'd get some TV time out of it

I get what you’re gripe is, he’s uneducated but famous and wealthy. His story is valid all the same of you actually watched. What you said has no relevance.
I literally cried when he said if she loved me so much why did she leave me 😢 life is hard I just want to give him a big big hug and God bless his mum what she must have been going through also to take her own life rip xx
Nothing can replace a mother, im struggling with the same thing I truely understand him, I thought if I was rich I would find comfort, my struggles seems to be worse now that my mum is no more. My God rest our mums soul in peace.
Monday will be 5 years since I lost my dad. Having Joey speak out about how he feels on his maladaptive coping mechanisms was not only so honest but relatable. I hope one day he finds peace, a genuine peace within himself and for his mum.
Most don’t lose them at 10 yrs old. Have a heart? Even if it is common and we all have to deal with it one day, it’s still relevant and useful to see someone dealing with real grief. Not much else on TV to watch these days.
Always found him an incredibly likeable person and this has just highlighted why. Such a lost soul but so honest and open. I hope that he finds his way through this.
The choice of therapist is everything when benefitting from therapy. That relationship has to instinctively feel right almost immediately, regardless of how many degrees they have . It's gutteral trust which doesn't come easy to those who've suffered enormous trauma. Lovely Joey appears depressed and his beautiful Mum must've been .. she likely didn't want to leave him but instead lost hope and wanted the pain to stop. Its very brave to make this film and to reach out for help in the first place which in turn help will help others undoubtedly.
I lost my father at 14. It took at least a decade for me to go by without crying when thinking of him. I can see where Joey's grief is coming from because he has not yet come to terms with her heartbreaking decision. It is brave of him to share his feelings.
My mum died last year at 88. She was a lovely person and I did all I could for her, but I still miss her every day and occasionally shed tears. It’s a hard part of life that reminds us how precious it is. Best wishes.
Mental health is so important!!! Especially for men and ultimately everyone needs to feel safe and comfortable to talk about their feelings without fear, shame, embarrassment for needing help. Everyone needs help sometimes. Joey is doing exactly what I wish I could which is go back to my childhood home and walk around and soak in all the memories. Man this hits on a whole another level. 😢 I've been back to the street but it had changed alot but it was nice being back there.
Nobody is saying he should be ashamed or fearful of his feelings or needing help most people loose their parents and feel the same thing but don't try and make a living out of it
What a courageous documentary you made about coping with grief. It was so touching to see you grow in confidence as you absorbed and adjusted to the stages of grief. I am so sorry you had that experience and feel so encouraged by your example. Thank you, and well done.
Awww bless him, this brought tears to my eyes. I lost both my parents, so I can relate so well to Joey. Money is nice and it’s better to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle, but there’s no substitute for your mum especially. No matter whom we lose throughout our lives, I believe we never actually get over it, we just learn to live without the person we’ve lost. Some days, weeks, months, years are easier than others. My mum died nearly 30 years ago, yet sometimes it still feels like yesterday, other days it feels much longer. Sad, 💔💔
I met joey Essex once and he’s such a good guy. Told him” he was my childhood role model”. Now I see why. Fame and being rich does not fill in the gap for a loss of family. Family is the most important thing and he epitomises that. His mum would be proud of him and wants him to move on and fill the gaps of grief.
His mother was a beautiful woman who must have suffered so much. Joey looks just like her. Her spirit radiates through him. I wish him the best of luck with everything.
Love seeing the real side to Joey. When you lose a lived one to suicide it's extremely difficult for anyone to understand what you are going through. As a child, to lose your mother would be the worst feeling. This will be the best thing he's ever done for himself. I hope he finds what he's looking for and can heal.
I can't imagine his pain growing up... I like Joey even more after watching this. Very brave I wish Joey all the love and happiness in the world. His mum will be watching over him. X
Loved this side of Joey ❤ I wish my son who is also 30yrs old would watch this. He reminds me so much of him. It wasn't a death that has separated us , but a divorce, my son is suffering like Joey is,has the exact same issues, he hasn't spoken to me in over 10yrs and cant talk about me to anyone. I love him so much and miss our relationship..I hope and pray someday he will talk to me. Thank you Joey I now understand why my son feels the way he does. ❤
Joey is so brave. I applaud his bravery and vulnerability. A real insight into childhood trauma and how hard it is to deal with it. I hope he finds peace and knows his mum will be forever with him. My respect for joey 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈
Watched this today after not knowing previously of what happened to his mother despite being a fan of his personality on Imma Celeb and Celebs go Dating. Very heartfelt and emotional, hope now he can finally move on with some sort of comfort and find that much long awaited happiness.
I can really relate to this. I’m 18, and lost my Mam a month ago, so I suppose my case is somewhat similar. Joey is very brave for doing this, and I really understand what he means when he says he’s on his own... even when you’re surrounded by friends and family, it’s impossible to discuss something like that with them, without upsetting them too. You don’t want to put that burden on others. I hope now that he can find some sort of escape from this long struggle.
Lost my dad at 4 and mum at 12 very similar feelings and thoughts keep strong i am now 24 and have 2 beautiful children keep going your doing so well and therapy is key to getting untrapped in your brain
@@andyhodgkinson7526 he wanted to spread awareness? i dunno why you don’t just keep your opinion to yourself and not comment because no one is arsed about your option r they
Joey always seems so happy, confident and fully of energy. I'd never think that he was going through all of that. He is brave to be this vulnerable on TV, much respect 👏🏽.
Sometimes behind the smiliest of people lies the greatest sadness. I don't think it's about getting over a loss like this its about finding ways to keep going and part of that is to confront the pain from the hole in our hearts so it starts to hurt a little less.
Joey just watched the documentary should be proud of yourself with everything you have achieved look as positive stuff your mum would have been proud good on you pal Brodie Leicester 👍
I know the feeling of losing a parent. I lost my mom 5 months ago to a sudden and swift heart attack and I lost her a week before my 48th birthday. I still haven't come to terms with the sudden death of my mom!
When you miss your mum, and you just want your mum, everyone in the world could hug you and comfort you but it’s your mum you want and need and it’s utter heartbreak 💔
Just watched this on iplayer and it was so honest and painful. My mum died at 48 when I was aged 20 and I can't imagine being the age he was was and losing her. Hope you are more free now Joey, she wouldn't want you to feel empty and sad in this world and I have to remind myself of this as well 💕
I wrote sometime last year on a video that joey was in, I said he needs therapy because of the loss of his mum you can see he needed this so glad he has decided to get help, he has kept all this inside for so long, when you hurt inside, it’s so hard to be happy, love 💕 you Joey you are handsome and kind hearted soul, hope you get all the help you need hun.
Watched it last night , quite upsetting to watch some bits of it . I lost my mom at 32 and it absolutely crushed me , can’t imagine how difficult it is being 10 and not have your mom around 😢😢 you just have to learn to live with it now and find your happiness ! All the best to him ♥️♥️♥️
I remember this documentary like it was yesterday 🕊️ I thought it was absolutely brave of you to open up an express yourself deep within; nobody knows unless they have lost a parent just how hard an painful losing a parent is LOVE you joey You’re mummy is going to make sure you have the most beautiful life ever possible you are SHINING SO BRIGHTLY right now i want jessy to WIN THIS an i truly HOPE to god you && your Jessy become WINNERS of Love island 💛🏝️ 2024 🎉 you are SO BRIGHT && BEAUTIFUL AN YOU GOT THIS Team JOESSY 🌤️🕊️💛🏝️
What I did to help myself now is something I will tell you to do Joey Essex....You go back and look at that little boy, and you take his hand in yours and you tell him "Come on with me, It's ok mate I'll look after you now"
Joey I wish you strength that you will get through this. An absolute gentleman with such a great heart❤️ You are so strong for doing this and opening up ❤️
I lost my brother to suicide in 2014 and I totally get where he is coming from that he has trust issues going forward in life. It's like your scared to form new attachments in case you get hurt again. I guess your just trying to protect yourself. Obviously you can let go.of attachements that you have already forged but I certainly dont attach myself to people like I use to for fear of getting hurt. Your not on your own Joey dont forget that. I read a great book by CS lewis .. A grief observed and the first page just summed up how I was feeling and still do. "Its like there is an invisible curtain between you and the real world" after the loss of a loved one. However losing someone to suicide is a different ball game because your dealing with so many things. Firstly you have lost a love one, secondly they took there own life and if they dont leave a note the questions as to why . It's so true that the people left behind are the ones that suffer because they have ended there pain. Well done for going to therapy and opening up but remember your not on your own with the pain that your carrying. Your mum will always be in your heart and no one can take that away from you. Xx
I feel your pain joey I didn't loose my mum at a young age but loosing a parent is so hard I've lost both my parents now and it's so hard at times. Stay strong joey I know it's hard and your mum didn't mean to hurt you I believe she must of loved you very much but was fighting her own demons and couldn't find a way out of her own sadness, I hope you come to understand that she didn't do it to hurt you and a mother never wants to hurt there child but sometimes it's hard not to so I hope you get the help you need and get comfort in knowing she did love you and I hope you can start living your life to the full like she would want you too I was in tears watching your documentary as its never easy loosing a love one especially one of your parents be happy joey your one amazing brave person speaking out about your grief xx
We all judge others and it's easy to misjudge someone. It takes heart to realise that's what you've done, and to openly share your mistake. Bless YOU Davina.
How brave he is and how proud must his family and real friends be of him. He is to be applauded for speaking out like this, too many people hold all their emotions and grief inside. Too many male suicides one man / boy is too many. Well done Joey.
What an moving documentary about grief when we feel sad and it was on BBC three and it's about depression and joey essex was on towie and the only way is essex and that was very emotional honestly 😢
God forbid this tragedy on anyone. Joey is actually a wonderful success story and has done very well his sister too . Suicide I believe is something to do with the person taking their life not those who are around them, they feel deficient somehow which being as beautiful and wonderful as Joey's mother obviously was no one can feel or see the reason why, one thing is certain the why has got nothing to do with the poor people left behind who will forever miss and love her.
I can so relate to this … feel exactly the same way right now. Losing a parent at that age is traumatic. His mum was so pretty her niece frankie looks just like her.
I don't know much about Joey-- But I respect and felt his pain deeply. He is brave and vunerable to share that especially in front of the camera and whole world to be open like that -- I hope he can heal and get the help he needs💞 Good luck mate --
Yes I wish people would seek help first before they even consider suicide. Especially if they have young kids. How can any mother leave their kids in that way is beyond me! 😒
God bless you joey Essex I lost my nan best friend and another family friend to suicide and iam struggling hard my self these last few days bless who ever reads this message I wish you the best x
Poor man. My dad has had to go through a similar thing, and I can never really understand what that is like. It's tragic. I want to give him a hug. I hope he's kept up with the psychologist, or found one he can open up to.
I am so sorry Joe. I have been in the same situation I am so glad I didn't do it Your mum pain disappeared but it was put on her family she didn't thinking straight. Please be strong. ♥️🙏🙏🙏
I am hoping the documentary, (have yet to see it), helps everybody here who has commented or will comment and are also struggling with grief and depression. That would be amazing if it helps ease your pain too and makes you feel hopeful and happy again. Sending you my love and virtual hugs for the pain you have felt and the struggles you are having. Stay strong and find your peace and happiness ❤️💜💚💛🕊✨💫
This is so inspiring and brave. Just reminds you, you never know what someone if going through on the inside! I have lost my Dad and several people I have loved too. I used to block it all out but now I let myself feel again and I think that is so important. I have starting writing songs and putting them on my channel as I find that a great way to let out grief. I would really recommend songwriting.
No1 truly knows what it's like to lose a parent at a young age .. unless you've experienced it It scares you for life... ..hope you find the peace you deserve xx
His biggest hurt is when he asked, ‘why did my mom leave me, if she loved me’…. 😢 So he clearly feels she never loved him and that pain has crippled him inside all of his life and being a prankster has helped mask it and been the only way he has felt accepted and loved, to be funny and outgoing in company. I hope the therapist helps him realise it’s not because his mother didn’t love him. It’s because she couldn’t face any of her own pain anymore and wasn’t able to love him as she so desperately wanted. 😢🙏
The happiest people on the outside are the ones suffering the most on the inside. It's great to see a more venerable relatable Joey
I have always said this. The ones that are constantly upbeat are the ones with the most problems.
Not sure that’s the case. You could certainly say there are plenty of cases of this. In general most people are quiet for a reason.

This will help many, many people. Especially men.
What I did to help myself now is something I will tell you to do Joey Essex....You go back and look at that little boy, and you take his hand in yours and you tell him
"Come on with me, It's ok mate I'll look after you now"
Bless you pal iv been getting therapy for 25 yrs it takes time rooting for you it's changed my life although it's been emotional
Joey I wish you strength that you will get through this. An absolute gentleman with such a great heart❤️ You are so strong for doing this and opening up ❤️
I lost my brother to suicide in 2014 and I totally get where he is coming from that he has trust issues going forward in life. It's like your scared to form new attachments in case you get hurt again. I guess your just trying to protect yourself. Obviously you can let go.of attachements that you have already forged but I certainly dont attach myself to people like I use to for fear of getting hurt. Your not on your own Joey dont forget that. I read a great book by CS lewis .. A grief observed and the first page just summed up how I was feeling and still do. "Its like there is an invisible curtain between you and the real world" after the loss of a loved one. However losing someone to suicide is a different ball game because your dealing with so many things. Firstly you have lost a love one, secondly they took there own life and if they dont leave a note the questions as to why . It's so true that the people left behind are the ones that suffer because they have ended there pain. Well done for going to therapy and opening up but remember your not on your own with the pain that your carrying. Your mum will always be in your heart and no one can take that away from you. Xx
I feel your pain joey I didn't loose my mum at a young age but loosing a parent is so hard I've lost both my parents now and it's so hard at times. Stay strong joey I know it's hard and your mum didn't mean to hurt you I believe she must of loved you very much but was fighting her own demons and couldn't find a way out of her own sadness, I hope you come to understand that she didn't do it to hurt you and a mother never wants to hurt there child but sometimes it's hard not to so I hope you get the help you need and get comfort in knowing she did love you and I hope you can start living your life to the full like she would want you too I was in tears watching your documentary as its never easy loosing a love one especially one of your parents be happy joey your one amazing brave person speaking out about your grief xx
I'm so sorry, I've missed judged .Bless you 🙏
We all judge others and it's easy to misjudge someone. It takes heart to realise that's what you've done, and to openly share your mistake. Bless YOU Davina.
Good lad Joey always had my respect love to meet the guy one day proper strong to keep on keeping on what he's been through
Oh my goodness 😢I never knew and I will never ever judge again x ❤sorry x
How brave he is and how proud must his family and real friends be of him. He is to be applauded for speaking out like this, too many people hold all their emotions and grief inside. Too many male suicides one man / boy is too many. Well done Joey.
What an moving documentary about grief when we feel sad and it was on BBC three and it's about depression and joey essex was on towie and the only way is essex and that was very emotional honestly 😢
I want to hug him so much 😢❤❤
Everyone hurts sometimes. May he find happiness within
I am so sorry for your loss and pain Joey. I feel your pain.Take heart Jesus loves you,may God comfort you.
🙏
God forbid this tragedy on anyone. Joey is actually a wonderful success story and has done very well his sister too .
Suicide I believe is something to do with the person taking their life not those who are around them, they feel deficient somehow which being as beautiful and wonderful as Joey's mother obviously was no one can feel or see the reason why, one thing is certain the why has got nothing to do with the poor people left behind who will forever miss and love her.
May she rest and find peace you’re very strong brother 🌹❤️
I can so relate to this … feel exactly the same way right now. Losing a parent at that age is traumatic. His mum was so pretty her niece frankie looks just like her.
That's her daughter not her niece
This is heartbreaking
I don't know much about Joey-- But I respect and felt his pain deeply. He is brave and vunerable to share that especially in front of the camera and whole world to be open like that -- I hope he can heal and get the help he needs💞 Good luck mate --
Sharing every thing on camera is how he earns his living
The day a person commits suicide their problems end. But their families just begin. Its cruel.
I hope Joey finds peace. He seems like a nice guy.
Yes I wish people would seek help first before they even consider suicide. Especially if they have young kids. How can any mother leave their kids in that way is beyond me! 😒
@@daniellefrancis1476people do!!
God bless you joey Essex I lost my nan best friend and another family friend to suicide and iam struggling hard my self these last few days bless who ever reads this message I wish you the best x
he's so precious
Fair play I never knew this about him I’m very sorry for your loss x
Poor man. My dad has had to go through a similar thing, and I can never really understand what that is like. It's tragic.
I want to give him a hug.
I hope he's kept up with the psychologist, or found one he can open up to.
I have lost both my parent when i was at the same age as Joey, (11 years old). His story hit me harder than i thought... I feel for him...
I am so sorry Joe. I have been in the same situation I am so glad I didn't do it Your mum pain disappeared but it was put on her family she didn't thinking straight. Please be strong. ♥️🙏🙏🙏
I love him hay ....
he is so sweet ....
Hope he is OK now 😥😥
The video made me cry so much ...
Now it makes me cry more because threw im a celebrity everyone was rude to him 😔 😢 😢😢😢😢😢
I am hoping the documentary, (have yet to see it), helps everybody here who has commented or will comment and are also struggling with grief and depression. That would be amazing if it helps ease your pain too and makes you feel hopeful and happy again. Sending you my love and virtual hugs for the pain you have felt and the struggles you are having. Stay strong and find your peace and happiness ❤️💜💚💛🕊✨💫
Lovely young man , god bless you joey
Got so much respect for joey ❤
This is just so sad 😢
Wow...seen a different side to him ..so hard to lose a parent..but at 10 & those circumstances 💓
Very raw very brave
This is so inspiring and brave. Just reminds you, you never know what someone if going through on the inside! I have lost my Dad and several people I have loved too. I used to block it all out but now I let myself feel again and I think that is so important. I have starting writing songs and putting them on my channel as I find that a great way to let out grief. I would really recommend songwriting.
Aw Joey, I hope you’re able to heal ❤️
You got this Joey!!!
bless him
Thank you Joey. x
So hard to Omg im tears watching it
No1 truly knows what it's like to lose a parent at a young age .. unless you've experienced it
It scares you for life...
..hope you find the peace you deserve xx
Well Done young Man🙌🥰
Hope you find what you need mate x
I lost my mum. And it can affected everything. Even my learning and concentration.
His biggest hurt is when he asked, ‘why did my mom leave me, if she loved me’…. 😢 So he clearly feels she never loved him and that pain has crippled him inside all of his life and being a prankster has helped mask it and been the only way he has felt accepted and loved, to be funny and outgoing in company. I hope the therapist helps him realise it’s not because his mother didn’t love him. It’s because she couldn’t face any of her own pain anymore and wasn’t able to love him as she so desperately wanted. 😢🙏
