“I don’t know where I’d be without my mom” broke me. As a mom currently struggling, that hit hard.
You’re doing amazing and I’m proud of you ❤
You’re that child whole entire world rn and ur child’s father if he’s present that kid adores u I know ur doing enough and u should be so proud of urself ❤
I feel like we all feel the same way when it comes to Andrew apologizing for making the episode longer than usual. I would love a 2 hour episode every Monday
!!!!
Andrew, I lost my younger brother a little over six months ago to suicide. This is impossible and you are strong for speaking about it and bringing awareness to mental Health. I sent you a dm if you need someone to talk to or resources I got you. ❤love you
I’m so so sorry for your loss 💔 I lost my little brother in a traumatic accident on 11/7/21. Still feels like yesterday. Give yourself time and grace, and know you’re not alone ♥️ I hope you and your family are getting through this difficult time of year and finding some healing
I’m so sorry for your loss ♥️♥️💙💙
sending you so much love
😢So Very sorry 🙏❤️
💗💗💗 so sorry! I worry about my brother daily. He’s in recovery and is a substance abuse counselor but I still worry.
At 21:58 right after Andrew says Adrianna’s name, the camera got all fuzzy, I got the chills. She is with him ❤️ I’ve also lost a very close family member who was my best friend, to suicide. It truly never gets easier. Praying for him and all involved. ❤️
It's the autofocus with that. But I do believe she's there with him
Andrew, you are forever changed. Joy will come again. I lost my 3 1/2 year old son to a drunk driver in Nov 17, 1997. I can tell you sometimes the bandaid tears the scab off even now. What you lear is how to navigate the scars so you ease around them. Talk about it, don't apologize for taking advantage of deep friends and let yourself feel what comes to you. I'm proud of your strength, even if you have to fake it for a while. Everything you are feeling is valid and don't let yourself wallow in the anger. It's ok to be angry in response. You are not betraying your sister because you get angry at her about what's happened. Dreams you dreamed of sharing your life with her will just be different now. Like I said..... I love you and it will get better. Your smile will reach your eyes again. I promise.
Stephanie. I was your subscriber long before I met Sam. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜*
I’m so sorry about what happened to your son. That’s awful.💔
I also have to point out…Adriana is his cousin, not his sister. Although they seemed like siblings, that’s for sure.
I got chills when Andrew told the story about Easy on Me playing. I wish more people talked about grief and shared these beautiful stories, thank you for sharing this conversation with the world ❤
I have to say, I lost my mother who was my entire heart very suddenly and traumatically last December, and Sam is handling this absolutely perfectly as a best friend. The way she listens, validates and emphasizes the points and feelings that Andrew puts out is so nice to see. Such a good support system ♥️
Being severely depressed for many years myself I have sought out a lot of content to help me cope with what I was going through. But, I do not believe I have ever watched something that has made me feel so seen and heard. Eventhough I'm from a completely different country and have had a completely different life from you guys I feel like you're speaking to me. Thank you so much for speaking about mental health and loss with some humour and so much empathy. Praying that the weight of this loss gets easier to carry for Andrew and I also pray that Sam stays just as kind because it really heals something in me knowing what a good friend you are Sam❤
❤
Hugs❤
@SheeK98 What a lovely message.🤗
Samantha and Andrew... don't apologize to any of these haters....they are not even worth being mentioned
To say I was shocked, I’ve been watching you two for years and Adrianna was a main person in your life. I am so so sorry this happened Andrew. 😔
I’m so incredibly sorry, Andrew. Losing a sibling is one of the hardest things we may ever do. Thank you for being willing to open up with us. I hope your family can heal 🤎
I debated to watch this episode not by myself. I decided to turn it on with my 19 yr old in the room. I had to tell him on his 17th birthday that his best friends dad took not only his life but the life of his son, my sons best friend. Understanding how mental health can do this to someone but also how he can take his own sons life too. My son struggles and to this day said it will never be better. I try to get him to talk to someone but he's not ready. He speaks to me. He misses him. He shut off everything he was doing to watch you guys talk about this. That was something huge to me. It was difficult for you, m sure. But thank you for doing that. It's good for him to see how others younger than me cope. I'll never give up on him. Love and my heart goes out to you. Sam,my mom was the same as I grew up. ❤
I have to say it was very sweet and refreshing seeing Andrew and Sam show some kindness and love between each other. We all know they love each other and we don’t want them to lose their dynamic but once in a while, it’s really nice to see how much they appreciate each other. ❤️
I lost my sister to a drug overdose in June. She struggled with a lot of trauma and mental health issues. But we were the same way, always together before she started using. When she was clean we started working on our relationship and were getting close again. Then she relapsed and was gone. Just like that. I remember the day it happened, everybody was asking me how she was doing and I didn’t know because she stopped calling and answering a couple weeks before.. It doesn’t get easier, you just learn to live with it. Yesterday was a bad day. Then I woke up and seen this. My heart is with you, and she’s with you as well. A few days after we buried my sister and finished all of her ceremonies I was house sitting for my friend and tending her plants. A dragonfly came and sat with me while I took care of all the plants. One of my sisters most favorite things in the world was dragonflies. I felt like she was there with me. Take in the small things, I promise it helps. ❤❤❤
My heart breaks for you. I just want to thank you both for not censoring your words or avoiding such a sensitive and incredibly important topic in order to not get demonetized or shadow banned. Sending you so much love. Just remember there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Never apologize for laughing or making jokes, taking time away from the world to sit in your own thoughts or jumping into work in order to keep your mind occupied. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Andrew, you’re so right. The pain never goes away. Grief is like drowning in an ocean at first because you don’t know how to swim, then you start becoming a stronger swimmer and the waves still come, you’re still in the water but you’re no longer drowning. I’m so very sorry for your loss. Praying for you! ❤
Todays my dads birthday. We lost him 9 yrs ago last month. It still feels fresh sometimes. I still want to call him. Grief sucks but all the tears we’ve cried is all the love we didn’t get to express while they’re here. ❤
You dont move on you move on with it. How utterly tragic. Its hour by hour at this point and will slowly become day by day to week to week etc x
Thank you for being so open when you didn't have to be. This is a vulnerable topic. You are so strong, and it doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you to Sam as well for being there for you as well.
Goosebumps the ENTIRE EPISODE. Andrew, she is a huge presence even now ❤
Your mom being with you when you found out I feel like is such a blessing
Sam has such a great point. A huge traumatic event like this changes you and you have to figure out how to navigate through life with these changes. Some stuff you just may never revisit after an event like that. My younger brother attempted suicide in 2020 and it’s forever changed me. Certain things I smell triggers me and can make me nauseous because it was something I smelled that day. I can’t revisit my animal crossing island because we were playing it together just about every day leading up to it, but I also can’t bring myself to delete it either.
Therapy can be so hugely helpful in figuring out how to cope and heal. Your not going to feel better right away, but it gets better over time. It’s constant work.
So much love to you both ❤
I’m so sorry, Andrew. Your relationship with Adrianna was so wonderful and so fun to experience on your channel. You guys always had me howling with laughter. I’m so sad that she is no longer with us.
I’m so so sorry Andrew. I can’t even think of words to say. I can’t even begin to imagine. Sending you so much love and healing.
As someone who has lost multiple friends to suicide, this episode was so healing. I often feel alone in my grief, especially the longer time goes on. Thank you for reminding us that we aren’t alone.
Andrew, saying “I’m so sorry for your loss” seems like such an empty statement compared to the weight of what you and your family are going through… I am sending so much love to you all❤️
Sam, thank you for being the friend we all wish we could have. Your support for Andrew is so important. Love you both💕
agreed
you just talking about her and the camera not focusing shows she's with you sending so much love
Suicide has been a huge part of my life as well, my uncle and my cousin lost their lives to this. My father tried on multiple occasions. Alcohol abuse runs in my family as well. I just want to say that I appreciate all of the things you guys are talking about suicide, anxiety and depression are so hard to talk about, especially with people who don’t understand. On another note I am so sorry that people in the world are so hurtful to you both the conversation about the comments on the TikTok video is so heartbreaking.😢 I love this people, often associate being overweight with being lazy and not taking care of yourself, but no one wants to take into account with the majority of the time people who are overweight, are usually struggling with food and struggling with mental health. I just don’t understand how people can be so hurtful it’s hard when our mental health can be shown to the entire world by the extra weight that we carry on our bodies but the people who might struggle with drug addictions, alcohol, addictions, anger, addictions, anything other than that it’s hard to see in the outside and they don’t get nearly as much hate as the people who struggle with being overweight! I just want to say I love you both very much and I look up to both of you as amazing role models! I hope you guys keep this podcast going❤🎉
I am just now watching this because unaliving is a triggering topic for me; I just had to comment because my heart goes out to you, Andrew. I lost my brother to unaliving on my 12th birthday and I thought I’d never be able to go on after that. I am 31 now and it’s true that the pain never goes away and grief is not linear. Some days I can’t even think about him without crying, but most days I can just think of him and smile. Sam is so right that when you are sui***al you are no longer thinking rationally. That’s a big part of what helped me get through it - my mom told me as a child that “his brain was sick.” And Andrew, it is okay to feel angry. It is completely natural. I was livid at my brother for doing it the way he did and when he did it. I used to scream and curse at him (just screaming to the sky) when I was younger. I don’t feel guilty about that anymore because it’s a normal part of the grieving process. Grieving a loss from someone unaliving is so very different than any other loss and there’s so many emotions. I’m sending you and your family so much love, and thank you both for talking so openly about this. I talk about this on my little podcast that is focused on mental health; not many people listen/watch, but my goal has always been to help at least just one person.
She just popped in for a quick hello to me, too Andrew! As I was listening to your podcast, I was studying for a module for nursing school. As soon as I flipped to the page on aneurysms, Andrew literally said "Do I have an aneurysm?" Sending you all my love xo
I couldnt help but absolutely break down when you were explaining to her child that she died of old age. My number one fear is leaving my babies before they can unerstand properly that I've left. I'm so sorry Andrew, you've got a big support system over here, and all my love and entire heart to her baby.
Death and grief are not talked about in our society and I think you guys spoke about that very well. I also jumped into things pretty quick because that’s how life goes right? But take your moments when they come feel your feelings out and let your self breathe or cry when you need to. Love you guys
This. People just expect you to be over it after a certain amount of time, and life and the world just keeps moving while you’re at a dead standstill. It’s so difficult
I appreciate you guys sharing your personal experience with mental health. I am an RN. I work very closely with people with mental health issues. I never realized the lack of resources there are in healthcare until I needed help for my own daughter. You guys repeat over and over “get help”. Truly there is no help. There is no solution. The Lord and the love of family and friends is the only “help” for mental health. The healthcare system fails mental health brutally.
To Sam talking about people leaving mean comments and some that can be funny, one time someone left me a comment on one of my videos on my second channel saying “you’re built like Winnie the Pooh” and I lost itttt😂
andrew im so sorry! i promise it does get easier but you're right. it doesn't exactly get better. my best friend who was like my brother overdosed and two years later no one knows if it was on purpose or not(we suspect a little bit of both honestly). he called me when it started to happen but i was at work and i declined his call. i was the last person he tried to contact before he died and i declined his call.
when it first happened my grief was this giant boulder i had to carry around everywhere with me. as the days passed i grew stronger and more used to the boulder so it became easier and easier to hold. as the weeks and months passed it changed from this giant boulder that obstructed my view of everything and controlled my life into a moderately heavy rock. now its a stone the size of my hand that i keep in my bag. i could choose to leave it on a shelf or in my car, but i choose to keep him and this memory with me. sometimes my bag feels too small or my shoulder feels too sore but i never put the rock down. when it feels like its too heavy i take it out and look at it and think about him. josh and his memory are so fucking sacred to me and his memories are so beautiful.
you got this andrew. think about how beautiful of a palm stone adrianna's memories will turn into
I also lost my grandfather on October 15th, he raised me and was the king of one liners, even up until he died he was the light of my life and coped with humor, I won’t go into specifics but I know the pain you’re going through and I’m grieving along with you, it’s okay to feel all of the things you’re feeling as the emotions come, I’m sending so much love to you and your family 🖤
I cant even believe ppl hate comment on you two. You guys are literally the best most funniest cutest pair and honestly your podcast has to reach the top like i have no doubts.
Oh Andrew, my heart is so gutted for you and your family. How unbelievably devastating, Adrianna was such a beautiful soul, I hope she is at peace now.
Seeing his spirit altered so much is heartbreaking. We all love you Andrew, she is with you always. Always was and always will be.
ugh andrew my best friend passed in 2017 right before she turned 25 and i know EXACTLY what you mean when you say that person was the part of you that is your personality, and your humor... just 100% can relate completely.
...AND right after she passed i was in a store with my nieces clothes shopping and i saw a pair of sweatpants that had a phrase down the side that she used to say a lot throughout high school.. of course immediately bought them. i still know those pants are for her every time i wear them lmfaooooo it feels so lame but i understand
Andrew when you told the story about Adele playing I got the chills. I am crying with you! How beautiful of a sign in the darkest time. Grief never goes away but it changes over time- I hope one day this feels a little easier for you. Sending so much love!
traumatic experiences seem worse considering they come out of no where and hit you out of no where. experiencing it myself with my cousin, even after 12 years, it still hurts. like sam said, the weight gets easier, but it’s never gone. you will be driving randomly and you’re then just bawling. talking helps so much, but no one will know exactly what you’re going through and you’ll never feel like anyone truthfully understands how much you’re hurting
I lost my brother 20 years ago and the trauma is still something I’m coping with. It will manifest in new ways throughout your life but it is so incredible to have someone watching over you. I hope you feel that presence and that love as well ❤ I still feel his love every day and get signs consistently which I would never have thought would happen 20 years later.
I’m a silent samantha watcher lol I love the videos Andrew makes a debut! Today I found your podcast, I watched this one first and my heart is breaking for you Andrew ❤ I now watched all of them and liked and gave a good review on apple pod, you 2 are so funny and sweet. I’m hooked! Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t let a single soul get you down! I’m just cleaning my house while my little man is at school, crying, laughing and soaking up every inch of your amazing personalities. I can’t get enough! ❤from Canada.
Thank you guys for speaking about the topic of mental health and suicide. My cousin committed around two years ago and it’s so relieving to see people with a platform speak about the topic and the feelings that come with that trauma.
Andrew im heartbroken for you and your family. You now have the best guardian angel with you every second forever until you meet again. 😇
this episode was amazing I loved every second of it. my grandpa died to suicide when I was 8 and I was in the car when my mom found him. it was very traumatic and I feel like steamed to cause me to think suicidal thoughts from a young age. but like andrew said things can change drastically in just a year you just can't give up, look at the little things in life and keep pressing forward if you are in a tough spot. I love how mental health is being normalized cuz its something everyone I feel struggles with. love you guys
When my grandpa died I had a concert planned for that night, and then 2 days later. my entire family said i should still go and that he wouldn’t have wanted me to sit at home and be sad. i asked him if he could help me get something from the band as a sign, because i neverrrr get guitar pics or setlists or anything like that. nothing happened that first night, but at the 2nd concert 2 days later i got a guitar pic. such stupid luck, it was thrown and fell on the ground and no one could find it, but i looked and it was right next to my foot. i think about it so much. i’m glad she’s sending you signs. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, andrew.
i lost my 13 year old cousin to suicide a few months ago. it’s the hardest thing i’ve ever been through and it feels never ending. he never showed any signs and always seemed like the happiest person. i will never understand and i will always wish i could have done something to help him. wishing you healing and sending love ❤️
So sorry for your loss 🤍I want to correct- She died by suicide, not committed. Using “died by” removes the culpability, as someone contemplating suicide is suffering from symptoms/ outcomes of mental illness. After I learned the importance of language from a suicidal prevention training, I try to be more mindful so I thought I would pass along this perspective to others reading comment section
I really appreciate that you both decided to talk so candidly about mental health. It's not easy to speak about, especially from personal or familial experience. Losing someone to mental health struggles is so confusing and scary. I am so sorry you're going through this. ❤
Last comment I’ll make lol, but the week my brother was being taken off life support; I was getting clothes for my mom at her house to take to the hospital, and picked up a random hoodie in her closet that said inside “trust the universe”. And recently; when my sister and brother and I were little, our house was infested every summer with lady bugs and we’d joke that my brother ate them, and now I find a single lady bug all of the time I know that are little signs from my brother ❤
Sending so much love to Andrew, his loved ones, and everyone affected by this ❤️❤️ please know how much support you have within your fans ❤️
Thank you so much… Andrews Mom❤
Validation is so bittersweet. Healing is a journey. Life is beautifully wicked. Sending y’all so much love.
Also thank you for the comfy vibes of this podcast especially during this episode. Feels like a safe place lol.
I was so shocked when I saw your post about her passing, she seemed so bubbly and happy. But we never know what somebody is dealing with behind the scenes. Big love to you and your family at this sad time love you Andrew x
I’m so sorry Andrew, I lost my brother to addiction 4 years ago around Christmas time. I admire your bravery and courage to talk about this. I love you both! ❤️
I’m sobbing right now .. this episode was really rough but I appreciate Andrew sharing. You are so loved Adrianna 🤍
This was the best episode yet for me. I truly appreciate the candid conversation about trauma and mental health ❤️ I’ve had anxiety for as long as I can remember and have really struggled with my mental health in adulthood so far. I’ve been especially down lately and this episode helped me feel less alone. Thank you, Sam and Andrew ❤️
Andrew I am so sorry… there are NO WORDS. The saying is so true… CHECK ON YOUR FUNNY FRIENDS. People suffering with mental health usually are the comedians and funniest ones in your group check in all your loved ones…. The happiest one too 😢
Rest in peace Adrianna. 🙏 ❤ your son will be well loved. Blessing and protection to him and your families ❤
Thinking of you during this difficult time, Andrew! My mother has suffered from Bipolar Disorder her whole life and attempted to take her life in 2016. Unsuccessfully, THANK THE UNIVERSE! but it really is the most heartbreaking thing when you realize someone you love is suffering so deeply! We love you, Andrew!
Gosh I love you both so dearly.
The conversation about Adrianna makes me love you even more, and then the talk about fatphobia too? My respect and love for you and this community you’ve cultivated is immeasurable.
I lost my uncle to the cruel thing that is addiction, just four days ago. It breaks my heart to see Andrew in a situation that is so sad and I’m so upset that I relate to the grief you’re feeling.
I am so glad you both are taking us along on your journey through life.
Andrew, remember that Adrianna is here with you always. And also, it is so okay to laugh and smile - it’s what you can do in honor of her.
And Sam, you are absolutely hilarious and so real for talking about the fatphobia you’re experiencing. I think it’s really unfortunate that those people are sad enough that they find joy in insulting others, but god it makes me giggle to see how you react to them by just laughing it off and joking back at them.
Long story short, you two are incredible people and I respect you so much for talking about the hard things. Much love ❤❤❤
Saying “I’m gonna kill myself” or “I’m gonna die” is something that is so ingrained in my brain/conversations as a joke and I really need to work on stopping that. Thanks for pointing it out and that it’s okay to slip up.
I’m glad to hear her job respected her death. In my town, a kind McDonald’s worker committed suicide in the parking lot and they kept the store open the whole time. Idk how any of his coworkers made it thru the day.
RIP beautiful souls 🕊️ sorry for your loss
Andrew my thoughts and prayers are with you. I have dealt with a lot of instant, unexpected trauma in my life and yes it is hard to come to terms with but minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, it does get easier. You are strong, your family is strong. Also Sam, thank you for being there for Andrew. Friends are incredibly important during times of the lowest lows and the highest highs. Thank you both for talking about mental health and being so vulnerable.
When it comes to comparing situations to others or just feelings in general. There is something I always say and live by,” your feelings are valid, if they weren’t you wouldn’t have them.”
Andrew, I’m so so sorry. My heart is absolutely broken for you, your family and Adrianna’s son. I’m sitting here sobbing hearing about this and I only knew Adrianna from your videos so I can’t imagine what you and your family are feeling. This is such a tragedy. She seemed like such an amazing person and I’m so heartbroken for you. I don’t know what else to say other than my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. ❤
I lost my best friend to suicide almost 3 years ago. Like Andrew said, the pain will always be there. Not a day goes by a don’t think about Kenny. She never got to meet my children, be apart of my wedding, or have kids of her own (her ultimate dream). Please please stay. You are so loved. So much more than you know. ❤
Sending you so much love Andrew❣ Thank you both for taking the time to sit down and discuss a topic like this, it is so incredibly important. Cant wait for the next episode !!
When the camera goes unfocused when talking about the song… definitely showing she’s there.
Both of your videos have been like therapy to me and I couldn’t be more grateful for the two of you existing 💝
You guys I love getting ready while listening to the podcast. Please dont shorten them!
I'm so sorry Andrew, my condolences. I can't imagine losing a cousin/sister like that. I'm proud of your family for signing up for therapy. Thank you for this heavy episode, its needed that we talk about this more in society.
My heartbreaks for you Andrew. There is nothing worse than a piece of you leaving this earth.
Thank you for this episode. As a person who has lived with depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and attempts, this episode is so real. I have also had friends and people I know be successful. Mental health is something that needs to be discussed.
Thank you for spreading awareness and love. Your vulnerability and willingness to discuss this shows your commitment to the community and your love for her.
Andrew you are so strong and such a wonderful person. I am so grateful I found Samantha's channel at the beginning of this year! You both have imprinted on my life in such a positive way. I wish I could make the haters go away. Please never stop being who you are.
Sending you so much love Andrew. Thank you for being so vulnerable with us. I love watching and listening to you guys. I’m so envious of y’all’s friendship! 💖
I am so deeply sorry to Andrew and his family. I will pray for him and his family. I am so shocked and a heartbroken without even knowing Adrianna. She seemed like such a beautiful and hilarious person to be around. I’m sure she brought so much joy in this world. * To Samantha, with all due respect and love, I know you are a Christian, speaking to the dead is an abomination in the eyes of God. I say this to you as a fellow sister in Christ who is by no means perfect, or even close, but *please* do not lead anyone astray, or cause others to stumble, specifically, by instructing them to do abdominal things in the sight of our Father God. It is better to be approved of by Him than by the world. As the Bible says, what would it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul? - I love you both SO much and pray for you regularly. May God bless, protect, and keep you. 🙏🏻✝️❤️🤍🕊️
andrew, i am so sorry for your loss. sending so much love to you and your family. thank you both for opening up in this episode.
You guys were so vulnerable today. Please do some more episodes like this. I can really relate to both of you.
Thank you guys so much for talking about this raw real subject. I also wanted to say I would 100% listen to every minute of longer episodes! Stay strong everyone 💕
Love this episode. Thank you for talking about what is hard to talk about. So sorry for your loss Andrew.
Thank you both so much for speaking in this! You two are making an impact ❤️ We love you both ♥️
My heart deeply aches for you and your family Andrew. Genuinely appreciate the openness to this convo as it can be so overwhelming to share. One of my biggest fears is losing those I love. Even though it’s still a terrifying what if/when question, making the convo less taboo in this episode deff helps, so thank you.
If this helps, I did want to note that many people are trying to refer to suicide by saying “died by suicide” vs “committed suicide or taking their life”. Small change, but it does minimize a negative connotation of victim blaming/shaming that society can often times do (not that you meant that by any means). My friend explained this to me recently too, so I’m also adjusting to phrasing it a little better (though I understand the subject is difficult regardless).
Thank you for being open to share with us and I’m sending love and support to you and your family, Andrew. I’ve been watching you for years and always looked forward to your new videos - and Adriana was one of my favorite people to see in them because you two were so perfectly matched! My prayers are with you and your family/loved ones at this time. 💕
And to both of you, this was a beautiful episode to see you show friendship support to each other. I know I really appreciate the honesty of your opinions and viewpoints. I love seeing you guys thrive and hope to only see more of it 🥰 Please continue to be there for each other as we continue to be there for you 💕
Sobbed😭😭 Andrew your stories since Adrianna are just 💔 I hope your grieving process is full of moments like that.
I could literally listen to y’all talk all day. I’ll watch any length episode ❤️ sending prayers
so sorry for your loss thank you for this episode it was the 5 year anniversary of a family member passing like that ❤
Andrew, I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for being so vulnerable during such a difficult time! Sending you so much love. It's crazy this episode came out today because I'm wearing my merch from Samantha that says "The world is a better place with you in it".
I can't imagine a world without Mama Kelly
I am so happy that you feel strong willed enough to share and help others with the trauma you have now endured! Mental health is needed to be more public and I applaud both of you for this episode ❤
I already listened on Spotify but I came here to leave an extra comment & a like. Thank you for your honesty, vulnerability & ability to still weave in humor amongst all the things. Much love to Andrew & your fam. This was a great episode y’all! 💗
Andrew I am so sorry for your loss. I loved seeing her on your videos and thank you for using this podcast to encourage people to get help in honor of her.
Andrew, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing such a personal thing with us. Being a person with depression myself, lots of things you guys have said really resonated with me and changed my perspective. Mental health is not spoken enough and I appreciate you doing this. I love funny videos (and even in this video there were funny moments), but it helps me hen I find smoeone I can relate to and not just all laughs and perfect stuff. Another thing I don't know if you realize, is that a lot of us are literally alone and this is like having a conversation with friends. I love you both
Thank you, I really needed to see this video. Andrew, im so sorry for your loss. Don’t listen to anyone on how you should be mourning. Do what you know will help you. Sam, you seem like an amazing friend. Very glad you two have each other. Keep spreading the love
This episode is so special and NEEDED!! Andrew I send you my deepest most sincere condolences to you and your family❤️ Thank you both for being so open and expressive about your struggles, you BOTH are changing the world for the better. Thank you.
I have no words. I loved seeing her in your videos. Your loss is beyond deep. Please don’t let it consume you. Always speak about her with love.
Andrew, my heart goes out to you & your family. I've struggled with mental health my whole life and I can only imagine how you all must feel trying to work your way through the grief of such an amazing and loving soul. Thank you for sharing your love for her and showing us how amazing of a person she was in this world. Sending so much love your way and thank you Sam for being such an amazing friend helping Andrew talk about this
i am so, so proud of both of you! i’ve been here since the beginning and your GROWTH is astonishing!! i’m so proud 🥹
I'm so sorry for your loss Andrew! Thank you for opening up and sharing!
Sending you so much love Andrew at this sad time, and to Sam too for everything you’ve been through. ❤
You are both such beautiful, warm souls that spread so much light and laughter to the world. This podcast is such a treasure; you speak so eloquently, bravely and insightfully about life, loss and human nature.
Hearing about those troll comments is disgusting - it’s ironic really that the unhealthiest thing you can do to yourself is have such hate in your heart.
Keep being you and keep celebrating yourselves.
❤
Andrew I’m so so sorry. This episode has brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing your experience and giving advice to anyone who is suffering. As someone who struggles immensely with mental health, I’m glad that you and Sam are using your platform to promote the seriousness of mental health. I’m sending you so much love and healing during this time. And Sam, thank you for being an amazing friend to Andrew during this time ❤
sam the way you talk about therapy is exactly what i need. i want to know where you go but obviously thats an invasive question and i absolutely don’t expect you to answer but ugh i feel like im underwater with a straw every single night and the sun comes up and just my nose pops out, eyes and mouth still underwater. just focused on breathing correct.. just trying to live i guess
Andrew, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I lost my little brother in a traumatic accident on 11/7/21 and there are no words for the pain of losing a sibling. Give yourself grace and time to process, I know how long you can be in shock and life just doesn’t feel real. My heart goes out to you and your family 💔 hang in there. Grief can be a dark hole that sucks you in, and the waves are so different every single day. I still struggle with PTSD, and just started EMDR therapy. I’ve found that sometimes if you start therapy too soon it can be hard to even be able to process because you’re so out of it. I hope you all can find healing ❤️🩹
