Yes she does Her and Eddie were the cutest couple EVER!!! I always said they both smile with their eyes.May he rest in peace and I pray for strength and comfort during this time for her and Wolfie.❤🙏🇺🇲
She's such a beautiful n such a sweet person n I love her she's real never been fake she's like girl next door n come over to ur house n can eat ice cream with n pour out ur soul I just love her
I really think she’s so real. So many of us have issues right now and are afraid to let others know. It’s refreshing to see someone who voices what she feels. I wish her nothing but the best. ❤️
Every time I see Valerie on a chat or cooking show I think, "I really like this lady!". Her smile, sweet voice, and kind words always play well. I wish her all the best in the years to come.
I just wanted to give her a hug and say "It's going to be ok'. You can tell she is going through alot and had a tough journey but I am proud of her. She is a strong woman and a beautiful soul. Absolutely love her cooking show and books. Rooting for her!
How is it possible that the moment she began to talk I loved her so much? We all go through these things; we don't always have it all together and life is so hard sometimes. I tell my kids when I'm feeling down and tell them it's ok to talk and get help if needed. Love you girl!!! ❤❤❤
Eh, you shouldn’t be using your children as your counselors. My mom did this to me and I’m still haunted by her negativity and have it in my own life now. Be smart. Parent Responsibly.
@@bleuskye8124 You sound like a treat to be around. LOL, who doesn't need to 'get a hold of' themselves now and again? However, making a comment about how endearing I found Valerie is not one of those moments.
@@BrooklynBaby100 Eh, I never said I got help FROM my kids, only that I explain that sometimes we need to talk and get help for how we are feeling. And I'm sincerely sorry you don't think your mom did a good job. Perhaps you should talk to a professional so you can move on in a healthy way; being extremely judgmental of others is a sign you haven't.
When she said people have told her that she is lazy, yet she has accomplished so much, this is why you have to believe in yourself and not allow others to dictate your life. She should be proud of her hard work and accomplishments.
My husband has been gone almost 3 yrs and I miss him so much I have a wall so hi no one can get to me I'm so lonleyi haven't seen my kids in 10 yrs I love you girl
@@michellecrowe7063 That's why society and the world were happier, mentally healthier and less stressed before the advent of social media. For all the good it may have accomplished, it's also created alot of misery, pain, self-doubt, self-hate, depression and life-ending tragedies...one has to wonder if it is/was all worth it....
I wish she would stop being so sad about her weight (I know easier said than done) but she’s just so beautiful inside and outside. Grrr weight! I hate how everyone has to feel bad that they aren’t “skinny”. Valerie, you are beautiful and amazing no matter what the scale says. Sending love ❤️
It’s totally mental. Valerie says she looks back at photos when she was young and can’t believe she thought she was fat at that time. She has always felt fat and I’m afraid no matter whether she loses weight or not it’s a self image that never goes away for some people.
@@patty-cf7jj Exactly 💯 I was a fan of Valeries since One Day at a Time. She was always my fav. I think Hollywood really can damage your self esteem. I am glad she hasn't gotten into plastic surgery because she is aging beautifully.
Honestly she strikes me as someone who is going through some clinical depression and should probably be taking medication and going to therapy for it. And I speak from experience. I remember feeling so fragile and vulnerable all the time that I felt sad and grieving and crying all the time. Antidepressants and therapy helped me. Not sure if she's already doing that. I also feel being on TV and publicizing her struggles so much may not be helping her that much. It may just be making her feel more emotionally vulnerable and fragile. Although it also seems like a cry for help and I'm glad she feels she's finding a supportive community among the public. I hope she's not being bullied or hated on coz that happens too. But some emotional regulation may actually help her feel in control of her emotions and eating again. Going inward and doing mindfulness meditation helps a lot too. Easier said than done but not impossible.
As I understand it, Val's lost both her parents, Eddie then separated from Tom in the span of a few years---that's a lot to cope with. Yes, I agree she does need someone to talk to freely but in private to let out the grief plus short term meds. Talking so much on record is being monitored by Tom and may be used against her in his pursuit of alimony.
What courage it takes in an industry where you must be 'perfect' that you show any vulnerability. Valerie has been a favorite of mine since I was little and watched 'One Day at a Time'. She is a class act. I hope she knows how many people she inspires and touches with her heart and words. She is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen--inside and out.
It shows we are all human ❤️ no matter what you do for a living. It's good that Valerie is able to show her raw feelings instead of hiding them within.
You nailed it! I used to watch her too as a little girl on ‘One Day at Time’. I looked up to Valerie and her ‘show sister’ (M.P.) at the time. MP looked very similar to my older sister. People would tell her that all the time! Loved Schneider! They just don’t make good wholesome shows like that anymore. Shows that are funny yet teach you life’s little lessons. Versus all the so called Reality Shows today. Loved Facts of Life, Brady Bunch, The Partridge family, Good Times, the Jefferson’s, All in the Family, Three’s Company, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley. I have actually been watching The Jefferson’s starting with Season 1. I don’t remember Season 1 or 2, or even 3! I was too young back then to remember but watching it again now, the comments the characters make are hilarious! Every show teaches some lesson. Back when people could actually make fun of themselves without everyone calling everyone racist. Times have changed. The world today in general is so depressing, and people can be so mean to each other because they can hide behind their social media ID. It is so sad. It is easy to get down in the dumps when the chips are down - only made worse by someone bullying you or all the unkind trolls. Especially when you have lost those people (and animals) in your life who were dear and special to you. I know exactly how Valerie feels…Have a wonderful day!
@@doreen5471 Oh my gosh--'Facts of Life' is one of my ALL time favs! I still binge watch and know every episode by heart. You are absolutely right--each one had a great lesson or tackled an important issue for kids growing up. I loved Good Times as well. Also Alice. And my all time fav--Golden Girls. They sure don't make them like they used to! Jeffersons, too. Loved Marla Gibbs in that and 227. Man, we had some really great shows growing up! You have a wonderful day as well! :)
@@corpusdelectable6078 yes, I forgot about Alice! Loved that show too! Chips was another good one! Loved Ponch aka Eric Estrada! I think he was my first crush! ;) Have a great day as well!
I saw Valerie board a plane in the mid-80s from Pittsburgh to L.A and wanted so bad to say hi to her but got scared (I was only 14). Now, I would love to just give her a hug. ❤️
Valerie makes you feel like you could walk up to her anytime and chat a few minutes and you won't feel embarrassed It is like you know her,but never met her. She truely is " One in a Million" Seriously 😊 Just " imagine" if everyone was truely Like her. Wow
I have always loved Valerie. This crushed me, I felt like I was listening to myself talk… not liking the way I look, not thinking I deserve better, losing people you love. It’s been a hard time on all of us. You can really feel her pain. If only she knew how absolutely beautiful she is, inside and out! I thank Valerie for being so raw and honest, I personally needed that. 🙏🏻💜
I started taking Zoloft and my life changed 100%. My whole life the doctors thought I should have been taking something. I always felt that the medication would take my soul. I was wrong, it gave me life fulfilled with many many friends.
I wonder if Valerie suffers from clinical depression? She seems to have many of the ear-marks of it? Unfortunately, Very tough to treat in some people. I'm thinking of another beautiful lady who fought so hard but lost her battle. Of course I'm speaking of Ms. Naomi Judd. Valerie has always been a lovely and relatable person!🙏💜
Depression out of left field at 53. Had to go on meds and lots of therapy. Some mornings hard to get up out of bed. Just trying to take one minute at a time. Life sure throws us curve balls. But we are deserving of happiness and are worthy of so much more than our negative self talk wants us to believe. Those thoughts aren’t the truth. Valerie is such a beautiful and strong woman. God bless all who are going through struggling times. ❤️💫
Three things you said....I'm stronger than I think I am....I'm stronger emotionally than I think I am......I deserve better than I think I do. You saying it makes it 100% true, because it is! I see such a calling in you Valerie to spread your message which is the human condition. We all go through just those things but you have your celebrity that will bring you to the forefront. I was where you're at and my power comes from a Source bigger than me. I call it God, some call it the Universe, the word doesn't matter. What matters is that we are connected to It and to each other. No one better than the other. We're all in this together. Your vulnerability and humility is what connects you to those who think so little of themselves. When we find a strength we thought we never had, we are on the path to Wholeness and connection to our Source. I hope you continue on this courageous path you are on. I love you.
vulnerability and humility is what connects you to those who think so little of themselves ooh my gosh i love how you said that wow just wow i'm in a difficult place in my life God for sure is watching me i feel it too.❤❤❤
I have similar issues. I exercise and don't eat all that much but still can't lose the 15 pounds I gained over the past two years. It's not all that much, and I don't look awful, but I feel awful and I'm really mad at myself. I really identify with what she's saying. I hope we all feel better soon. I will say that I think many Americans are really depressed over all the idiocy that's going on in our country right now. It doesn't help.
For me, it's meds and I hate it. I was fit and healthy then a few years ago, got diagnosed with an inflammatory autoimmune disorder (along w 2 other health issues) so I was put on meds that have caused me to gain 10 lbs. Now I'm overweight and not as fit or feel as good as before. I REALLY HATE IT. What I have going for me is I'm pretty strong and resilient mentally. But still, it takes a toll. I'm more mad about the situation than depressed. It's hard not to be.
@@utubefreshie agree, I too suffer with autoimmune issues and other health issues. Was the life of the party but now on top of the health issues, going through menopause….it is a killer! That is when the depression and anxiety issues raised their ugly heads. Not to mention added workload as companies downsize’ but the work is still there, they just give everyone more work to do! Stress and anxiety can takes its toll on your health. Which can lead anyone down that depression hole. And yes, I am taking meds for that too which also cause weight gain. I feel for Valerie because I too can cry at a drop of a hat! Even with medication and therapy, it never seems to go away. Tack on a pandemic and all the race and political party division, & social media bullying, it is hard to even get motivated these days!
She's so beautiful ..... inside and out. We just never know what another person is going through. Weight should never, ever be a part of "beauty". She's gorgeous. I loved her book!
Dear Sweet Valerie, I too understand. Lost my Dad almost 3 years ago…. Grief is heartbreaking. It takes a toll on your body, mind, heart & soul. You’re not alone. ❤️ And you are truly beautiful. Inside & out.
I lost my Dad 3 years ago too. We were very close and I still miss him everyday. I miss talking to him. He was my best friend and I took care of him until he died. It was so heartbreaking 💔 😢
I have always loved Valerie. Her and Molly Ringwald were my idols. Valerie has always been beautiful inside and out. She wears her heart on her sleeve. Hugs and love to you Valerie! 💕
Valerie, I lost my father 3 yrs ago my husband died of cancer 8yrs ago. I am overweight and have breast cancer. I'm very unhappy with myself and what's happening I understand how you feel. I am very lonely and not happy It's hard to get older and feel alone. It's okay to cry, that's why God gave us tears. I hope you see this because I don't want you to feel alone. We have been delt with major loses in our lives. Take care of yourself.
I love that you are just a normal person with depression and grief and that is okay. Alot of people can relate to what you are going through. Valerie you are beautiful inside and out. We all love you.
Valerie was always my idol. I always found her So naturally beautiful and I still do! I lost my sister, my best friend and confidant to cancer on May 14, we were inseparable throughout our life even as little girls! I cry just thinking about her and and I miss her more then anyone could ever imagine. I keep sling Jesus for a sign from her to let me know she is ok, but I haven’t got any sign yet! Every time Aidee a red cardinal or a butterfly, I think of her. It’s hard to overcome obstacles in your life when you lost the one person that made you so complete in life!
I am so sorry for the loss of your sister. I just bet when you see the cardinal, or butterfly , that IS your sign from her to let you know that she is ok. You seem to be a religious person, so you know you will see her again one day.I hope you find peace and comfort knowing you will be together again . Best wishes to you.🙏🏼💜🦋I wanted to add that Valerie is a lovely person.
@@reginahaley3723 thank you so much for your kind words. I am a religious person and I hold faith as my crutch. I battled breast cancer also, but I am in remission so far. I know she will welcomed me with open arms when I go home to the Lord. My mother and father had 21 kids and the last five of us grew up together and we were always very close. I lost 2 of my sisters years ago and my little brother is still here with me. Which we are very close too. I just miss my sister so much that it hurts. I know she is not suffering anymore but it’s been hard for me to digest. Thank you again for your kind words. They are comforting.
She’s so sweet and relatable unlike so many Hollywood people.. who are total fakes. She does not need to be married or tethered to anyone. She can be happy completely alone but she’s so amazing she probably has tons of friends.🙏
Valerie- this is why I love you so much. Bought and listened to your latest book and it is WONDERFUL. You are real. You are talented. You are BEAUTIFUL. 💕
I wish Valerie the best. She is so kind and loving. She shares her struggles with many people. She helps people feel that they are not alone. I hope she finds peace and happiness and balance in her life💕😊
Every time I see her it’s like reconnecting with a childhood friend. We are the same age so it definitely feels like we grew up together. As young girls, I would think what great friends we would be and it’s the very same today as women. Thank you Valerie always for your honesty and vulnerability and mostly your heart. You rock lady!!! Wishing you so much happiness and many blessings.♥️
Valerie is so real and seems like such a sweet person. The minute I saw her tear up, I did too. I've always liked her and wish her the best always. eHugs
I’ve always admired you Valerie and completely understand and relate to your pain. I admire you even more now. You are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful And Brave!!!! Thank you. You are a face and a voice to all of us who are going thru the same 💩
Valerie, I wanted to be you when I was a kid. I think you are a light in this world and have a lot to share. The pain is real and it's okay. I am divorced and have two sons with Autism. They are my biggest gift. You have a wonderful son and you are very brave to speak your truth. God Bless 🤟🏽🕯💛⭐
Love yourself Valerie ♥️Things will fall into place ! Your beautiful . Make sure you drink a lot of water . Eat half of everything on your plate . Give it to another family member or wrap it up and use it for the next meal . I lost 65 pounds at age 30 . I’m 67 and I have kept it off because I learned how to lose weight . I still weigh every morning with no clothes and have since my weight loss . I eat what I want but portion size is normal . Put your food on a small plate if you have to . But water is a must !! I think your beautiful and a good soul . God Bless you . Your grieving too honey . Be easy on yourself ♥️I’m 67 now . My photo on the bike is me . I weighed 185 pounds at 30 . Diet means die . Just half your portions . That’s how Dolly Parton says she did it . I think your gorgeous. Your grieving too . Give yourself a break . Thank God you have Wolfe! That’s your love with Eddie . Peace Valerie . P.S. weighing for me in the morning is as natural as brushing my teeth . The Plateau’s when your losing is discouraging . But it will eventually drop again .
Let's see your son, is an amazing musician and kind soul. Congrats Mama Bertinelli. Your artistry and beautiful heart was shared with all of us for a long time. Your authenticity mame is to be honored and respected. You are a beautiful lady Ms Bertinelli and no one can take that away from you. You shine brightly.
Just want to Thank Valerie watching her here and reading her book has been helping me a great deal through the challenges my family and I are going through so THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH VALERIE ❤️❤️
Thanks Valerie! We are all doing what we can do in the moment to manage our lives. Life is hard; it’s hard for everyone. You are so encouraging to others by being so forthcoming and genuine. All the best to you, Valerie.
She really said Somthing that I need to hear and that is that I want to accept myself for the way i am right now. Not after i lose 10 pounds but now.I am a mother in mourning and it hurts so bad and this really helped me...thankyou valerie
Oh my.....where does one begin?? Valerie is NOT by any means lazy!! She has a beautiful show on Food Network, has written several books, has a beautiful son, appears on morning shows, and the list is endless. She has truly been through a LOT in her life, and yes has struggled with body image - like we all do, 2 divorces, etc. yet she keeps soldering on. -- You go, girl!!!! Much love to you Valerie!!! I wish I could reach through this screen and give you the BIGGEST HUG!
I love you for being vulnerable. You are saying what I felt going through my own divorce. 2020 was the worst year and so was 2021. Time heals and I pray your healing on your own time table. So much love to you!
No time doesn't heal, you just learn to except it, I lost my husband and my son years ago and I'm still hurting, she obviously never got over her first husband when she married the second one, and her weight bothers her a lot she will conquer it eventually she done it before, it's not about looks it's about health her son is also way overweight eventually that causes diabetes.
Velerie you are not alone and you were real and relatable. Depression can last one day or many many days… we need to address it to deal with it. Crying is the release that helps us to heal. Can’t tell you how many tears I have wept…. i am sure alot of us have done this.
She’s 62?!? She still has the same beautiful looks she’s always had, that’s amazing. She seems so down-to-earth and relatable.
Yes she does Her and Eddie were the cutest couple EVER!!! I always said they both smile with their eyes.May he rest in peace and I pray for strength and comfort during this time for her and Wolfie.❤🙏🇺🇲
She's such a beautiful n such a sweet person n I love her she's real never been fake she's like girl next door n come over to ur house n can eat ice cream with n pour out ur soul I just love her
Blessing to her in all she does always.
Valerie is one of the lucky ones with a cuteness that remains well into their later years.
Hi !! Tami I Agree she does.
I really think she’s so real. So many of us have issues right now and are afraid to let others know. It’s refreshing to see someone who voices what she feels. I wish her nothing but the best. ❤️
😇
She is a sweet woman those gals aren't pulling any punches ❤😢😢❤
Every time I see Valerie on a chat or cooking show I think, "I really like this lady!". Her smile, sweet voice, and kind words always play well. I wish her all the best in the years to come.
I don't think she realizes how beloved she truly is...
I just wanted to give her a hug and say "It's going to be ok'. You can tell she is going through alot and had a tough journey but I am proud of her. She is a strong woman and a beautiful soul. Absolutely love her cooking show and books. Rooting for her!
Who is kicking her perfectly good current husband to the curb because he isn’t Eddie Van Halen.
How is it possible that the moment she began to talk I loved her so much? We all go through these things; we don't always have it all together and life is so hard sometimes. I tell my kids when I'm feeling down and tell them it's ok to talk and get help if needed. Love you girl!!! ❤❤❤

Grief and depression are really hard to go through but you can get to the other side. Stay the course and always be true to yourself.
She’s quite honest and seems to have a gentle soul. It’s refreshing to see and hear someone like her .

So beautiful, and so real. We need more of this versus all this false perfection we see too much of on social media nowadays.

This brave , intelligent lady is saying everything we all need to hear.
Valerie is so “real” I just love that about her. So refreshing.
Thank you Valerie; you're singing my song! I am the same age; been griefing for 2 years & overweight - your testimony is encouraging!!
Valerie is a darling person. I admire her bravery and appreciate her making mental health needs an open discussion topic.
She is super sweet.

I'm right there with you Valerie, you're not alone!💕
I love her. She is REAL and we need more of that in our world today!
It is hard not to like Valerie. From her start in 'One Day at a Time' til now she is always so incredibly real and sweet!!
Valerie makes you feel like you could walk up to her anytime and chat a few minutes and you won't feel embarrassed
It is like you know her,but never met her.
She truely is " One in a Million"
Seriously 😊
Just " imagine" if everyone was truely
Like her.
Wow
I've adored Valerie since One Day at a Time. Beautiful inside and out.
Valerie is such a beautiful lady. I love that she can open herself up and share and it will help others.
"I deserve better than I think I do". I can relate to that comment. We need more trust in ourselves. We are stronger than we think.
I have always loved Valerie. This crushed me, I felt like I was listening to myself talk… not liking the way I look, not thinking I deserve better, losing people you love. It’s been a hard time on all of us. You can really feel her pain. If only she knew how absolutely beautiful she is, inside and out! I thank Valerie for being so raw and honest, I personally needed that. 🙏🏻💜

If you don’t mind me asking John, how specifically did it help? If you could give some examples, if not, no worries. Thanks in advance.
John
Valerie had said that Medication didn’t work for her…..
I wonder if Valerie suffers from clinical depression? She seems to have many of the ear-marks of it?
Unfortunately, Very tough to treat in some people. I'm thinking of another beautiful lady who fought so hard but lost her battle. Of course I'm speaking of Ms. Naomi Judd.
Valerie has always been a lovely and relatable person!🙏💜
Omg same for me! Started 21 years ago at the age of 38. I never realized that I had depression my whole life!!! Zoloft saved me!!

Your vulnerability and humility is what connects you to those who think so little of themselves. When we find a strength we thought we never had, we are on the path to Wholeness and connection to our Source. I hope you continue on this courageous path you are on. I love you.
vulnerability and humility is what connects you to those who think so little of themselves ooh my gosh i love how you said that wow just wow
i'm in a difficult place in my life God for sure is watching me i feel it too.❤❤❤
Valerie is amazing and so brave to show she’s a human being, like the rest of us. Love her. ❤️
She is so authentic and going through a tough time. Prayers for her🙏🙏🙏
Just a sweet soul, I just love Valerie!
I have similar issues. I exercise and don't eat all that much but still can't lose the 15 pounds I gained over the past two years. It's not all that much, and I don't look awful, but I feel awful and I'm really mad at myself. I really identify with what she's saying. I hope we all feel better soon. I will say that I think many Americans are really depressed over all the idiocy that's going on in our country right now. It doesn't help.
I think also that the pandemic really put the pounds on many of us. We all had to slow down a whole lot.
For me, it's meds and I hate it. I was fit and healthy then a few years ago, got diagnosed with an inflammatory autoimmune disorder (along w 2 other health issues) so I was put on meds that have caused me to gain 10 lbs. Now I'm overweight and not as fit or feel as good as before. I REALLY HATE IT. What I have going for me is I'm pretty strong and resilient mentally. But still, it takes a toll. I'm more mad about the situation than depressed. It's hard not to be.
Try intermittent fasting and cutting carbs. Really helped me.
@@utubefreshie agree, I too suffer with autoimmune issues and other health issues. Was the life of the party but now on top of the health issues, going through menopause….it is a killer! That is when the depression and anxiety issues raised their ugly heads. Not to mention added workload as companies downsize’ but the work is still there, they just give everyone more work to do! Stress and anxiety can takes its toll on your health. Which can lead anyone down that depression hole. And yes, I am taking meds for that too which also cause weight gain. I feel for Valerie because I too can cry at a drop of a hat! Even with medication and therapy, it never seems to go away. Tack on a pandemic and all the race and political party division, & social media bullying, it is hard to even get motivated these days!
I gained more and then got covid, then broke my ribs... now still long hauling and struggling hard to get back to healthy again. I love Valerie!
She's so beautiful ..... inside and out. We just never know what another person is going through. Weight should never, ever be a part of "beauty". She's gorgeous. I loved her book!
Love you Valerie! Please keep writing and talking, you're an inspiration & we are listening! ♥️
I’m right there with you Valerie you are not alone, remember you are beautiful inside and out 🥰
Dear Sweet Valerie, I too understand. Lost my Dad almost 3 years ago…. Grief is heartbreaking. It takes a toll on your body, mind, heart & soul. You’re not alone. ❤️
And you are truly beautiful. Inside & out.
I lost my Dad 3 years ago too. We were very close and I still miss him everyday. I miss talking to him. He was my best friend and I took care of him until he died. It was so heartbreaking 💔 😢
Love love love her. I sooo identify with her ❤️
Take care of yourself Valerie....🧡🙏🏾
I so understand what’s she is saying. Sending you much love Valerie.
I have always loved Valerie. Her and Molly Ringwald were my idols. Valerie has always been beautiful inside and out. She wears her heart on her sleeve. Hugs and love to you Valerie! 💕
Valerie, I lost my father 3 yrs ago my husband died of cancer 8yrs ago.
I am overweight and have breast cancer. I'm very unhappy with myself and what's happening
I understand how you feel. I am
very lonely and not happy
It's hard to get older and feel alone.
It's okay to cry, that's why God gave us tears. I hope you see this because I don't want you to feel alone. We have been delt with major loses in our lives. Take care of yourself.
So sorry praying for you.
I will pray for you!

Thank you for your kindness 🙏

I appreciate your kindness 💞
I wish I could give you a long hug but all I can do here is a little prayer so sorry for your pain and loss.
Praying that in time, the Lord dry most of her tears. 🙏🏻❤️🩹
I love that you are just a normal person with depression and grief and that is okay. Alot of people can relate to what you are going through. Valerie you are beautiful inside and out. We all love you.
Like a lot of ladies, so much personaly happening. I'm tired and have a wall too. Prayers to all. God Bless all
I thank God every morning for a new beautiful day!
Gratitude & being thankful is very important.
She’s so real. I love her so much. Genuine lady. ❤️😍❤️😍❤️
Valerie was always my idol. I always found her So naturally beautiful and I still do! I lost my sister, my best friend and confidant to cancer on May 14, we were inseparable throughout our life even as little girls! I cry just thinking about her and and I miss her more then anyone could ever imagine. I keep sling Jesus for a sign from her to let me know she is ok, but I haven’t got any sign yet! Every time Aidee a red cardinal or a butterfly, I think of her. It’s hard to overcome obstacles in your life when you lost the one person that made you so complete in life!
I am so sorry for the loss of your sister. I just bet when you see the cardinal, or butterfly , that IS your sign from her to let you know that she is ok. You seem to be a religious person, so you know you will see her again one day.I hope you find peace and comfort knowing you will be together again . Best wishes to you.🙏🏼💜🦋I wanted to add that Valerie is a lovely person.
@@reginahaley3723 thank you so much for your kind words. I am a religious person and I hold faith as my crutch. I battled breast cancer also, but I am in remission so far. I know she will welcomed me with open arms when I go home to the Lord. My mother and father had 21 kids and the last five of us grew up together and we were always very close. I lost 2 of my sisters years ago and my little brother is still here with me. Which we are very close too. I just miss my sister so much that it hurts. I know she is not suffering anymore but it’s been hard for me to digest. Thank you again for your kind words. They are comforting.
❤️🙏❤️
She’s so sweet and relatable unlike so many Hollywood people.. who are total fakes. She does not need to be married or tethered to anyone. She can be happy completely alone but she’s so amazing she probably has tons of friends.🙏
Valerie you are just beautiful inside and out.
I love Valerie Bertinelli… Just the way she is❤
May God comfort her and let her find peace from all her sorrows. You are loved, Valerie. 😘😘😘
Valerie- this is why I love you so much. Bought and listened to your latest book and it is WONDERFUL. You are real. You are talented. You are BEAUTIFUL. 💕
I wish Valerie the best. She is so kind and loving. She shares her struggles with many people. She helps people feel that they are not alone. I hope she finds peace and happiness and balance in her life💕😊
She is always so brutally honest, that one of the things I have always loved about her. She is SO real! She is WONDERFUL!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful inside and outside!
Strong woman Valerie, I salute!
Every time I see her it’s like reconnecting with a childhood friend. We are the same age so it definitely feels like we grew up together. As young girls, I would think what great friends we would be and it’s the very same today as women. Thank you Valerie always for your honesty and vulnerability and mostly your heart. You rock lady!!! Wishing you so much happiness and many blessings.♥️
She is an honest wonderful lady
Valerie is so real and seems like such a sweet person. The minute I saw her tear up, I did too. I've always liked her and wish her the best always. eHugs
You are beautiful Valerie inside and out! Thanks for sharing 🥰
Grief and depression are tough and I can't imagine going through this in public. I so feel her pain, she is an amazing woman.
She's beautiful and such a sweetheart
You're going to be great, Valerie. What a brave soul to share this part of herself.
Love this woman - so real!!
Love her so much. She’s a sweet angel and I hope she gets through this.
I’ve always admired you Valerie and completely understand and relate to your pain. I admire you even more now.
You are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
And Brave!!!! Thank you. You are a face and a voice to all of us who are going thru the same 💩
I needed this so bad! I'm not alone. Thank you Valerie for keeping it real. You are beautiful inside and out!
I have admired Valerie for years. You can tell she is a wonderful and beautiful person.
I have ALWAYS loved her ! She is real she is a down to earth human that i always loved about her
She is so beautiful and always raw .
Valerie, I wanted to be you when I was a kid. I think you are a light in this world and have a lot to share. The pain is real and it's okay. I am divorced and have two sons with Autism. They are my biggest gift. You have a wonderful son and you are very brave to speak your truth. God Bless 🤟🏽🕯💛⭐
Exactly! Her and Kristy McNichol
I've always appreciated seeing and hearing Valerie. A charismatic and charming and beautiful lady. Very engaging as well.
That interview was a roller coaster of emotions.
Valerie you reflect such beauty through your expression of genuine love. God bless you sweetie!
Love yourself Valerie ♥️Things will fall into place ! Your beautiful . Make sure you drink a lot of water . Eat half of everything on your plate . Give it to another family member or wrap it up and use it for the next meal . I lost 65 pounds at age 30 . I’m 67 and I have kept it off because I learned how to lose weight .
I still weigh every morning with no clothes and have since my weight loss . I eat what I want but portion size is normal . Put your food on a small plate if you have to . But water is a must !!
I think your beautiful and a good soul . God Bless you . Your grieving too honey . Be easy on yourself ♥️I’m 67 now . My photo on the bike is me . I weighed 185 pounds at 30 .
Diet means die . Just half your portions . That’s how Dolly Parton says she did it .
I think your gorgeous. Your grieving too . Give yourself a break . Thank God you have Wolfe! That’s your love with Eddie . Peace Valerie .
P.S. weighing for me in the morning is as natural as brushing my teeth .
The Plateau’s when your losing is discouraging . But it will eventually drop again .
Believe me, we get it. I’m so grateful I have the Lord to walk with me through it.
Valerie is amazing….she’s so real. I hope she realizes how strong she is. She touches so MANY people.
I have always love Valerie Berinelli, she is a beautiful soul, she speaks from the heart and has a down to earth loving presence.
Love Valerie! She is honest and relatable! Praying for her emotional healing!
"I deserve better than I think I do!" love that statement and new frame of mind...hoping I can make that same change permanent.
What a completely genuine good soul she is!! You're loved and valued Valerie! Get it girl!! Get your just due because you've earned it!
I just love Valerie Bertinelli. She is going through a lot just like the rest of us! Thanks for sharing your story with us

❤ I’m grateful for Valerie’s work, positive spirit and honesty
Thanks Valerie! We are all doing what we can do in the moment to manage our lives. Life is hard; it’s hard for everyone. You are so encouraging to others by being so forthcoming and genuine. All the best to you, Valerie.
Poor Valerie 😭 she will over come this. 🙏🏻❤️ She’s always been a kind sweetheart.
She really said Somthing that I need to hear and that is that I want to accept myself for the way i am right now. Not after i lose 10 pounds but now.I am a mother in mourning and it hurts so bad and this really helped me...thankyou valerie
10 pounds is nothing. How can you let that hold you back in life?
@@bluesky7288 way to focus on the wrong part of the story...
@@isabellavalencia8026 I was responding to a comment from someone else saying she wanted to loose 10 pounds
@@bluesky7288 I am the only one you are responding to...what is wrong with you?
Oh my.....where does one begin??
Valerie is NOT by any means lazy!! She has a beautiful show on Food Network, has written several books, has a beautiful son, appears on morning shows, and the list is endless.
She has truly been through a LOT in her life, and yes has struggled with body image - like we all do, 2 divorces, etc. yet she keeps soldering on. -- You go, girl!!!! Much love to you Valerie!!! I wish I could reach through this screen and give you the BIGGEST HUG!
I love you for being vulnerable. You are saying what I felt going through my own divorce. 2020 was the worst year and so was 2021. Time heals and I pray your healing on your own time table. So much love to you!
No time doesn't heal, you just learn to except it, I lost my husband and my son years ago and I'm still hurting, she obviously never got over her first husband when she married the second one, and her weight bothers her a lot she will conquer it eventually she done it before, it's not about looks it's about health her son is also way overweight eventually that causes diabetes.
Valerie seems like such an authentic person. Best to her.
Velerie you are not alone and you were real and relatable. Depression can last one day or many many days… we need to address it to deal with it. Crying is the release that helps us to heal. Can’t tell you how many tears I have wept…. i am sure alot of us have done this.
Her honesty is refreshing. Time to make yourself and health your number one priority. Looking forward to your new successes!
