      I'm so sorry for your loss; and for your suffering not being able to find hope , faith and someone to show you and to pull you through. It has to feel incomprehensible. The pain only you know how much it hurts. But you, are still here.
      What son, would want to see his mother suffering through this list you typed? And for this long? 20 long years!?
      Any son, including yours, would want to see his mother set free from this pain and suffering.
      More, any son, would not want to be the cause of this long list of issues for his mother. Think about it.. psychology is is great! But our loved ones want us living in joy until we meet again. God bless you.

    My sister died leaving behind an 8 year old and an 11 year old. A friend was trying to comfort my 11 year old nephew and told him God needed her in heaven. I saw the look on his face and read exactly how he felt so i said it for him. How could God possibly need our mother more than we do. He looked at me and i knew he understood that i realised what he felt and it ooened up conversation for us.

      I'm so sorry for your family's loss, and my heart breaks for her children. I hope you and they find solace & support in each other. I'm so pleased he had you to have his back. I think it can help to remember that people mean well and want to say something comforting, but if they've not been through that sort of pain, they just don't know that there *aren't* any words. Please give these children the permission to speak their truths. God didn't need her, this will not make them stronger, she's not in a better place, blah blah blah. Life is unfair and life hurts. I was younger than your sister's children and barely remember my mother, but her loss & my headache still imbues every cell of my body 46 years on. My daughter is now older than my mother ever was, which opens up new opportunities to grieve over every lost moment.
      Warmest wishes to those of you grieving her loss.

    This is so helpful and healing. It really helps in not only understanding myself in not fully dealing with the sudden loss of my Father last year in July. I emerged myself fully with work as a deterrent. This helps me understand his wife who was left behind as well. The anniversary date is a week away and I am just beginning to come out of my 'fog'. It's so embarrassing to admit that it's taken so long to address my feelings that I have shoved down so deeply--telling everyone around me that I'm okay, when in truth, I have been silently hurting and acting strong for nearly a year. Thank you for this, you are a light that has shown itself to heal fully moving forward.❤️

    Why is a place to potentially stay stuck - especially with complicated family relationship patterns of estrangement, addiction, cult like tribal exclusion which result in losses that were not anticipated. Not necessarily always a physical death but the “you are dead to me” group exclusion/cutoff feels like multiple losses. The past, present and future all threatened. Illusions held of support and belonging must also be relinquished and grieved. The video applies to dealing with deaths but there are so many losses which also must be accepted and survived. Thank you for shedding light on and validation around grief reactions.

      Exactly!! I’m trying to work out how the hell do I grieve and move forward after being outcast by my whole family. The loss is so overwhelming sometimes it’s hard to see how my life can ever improve, I lived for my family. The helplessness worthlessness and insignificance I feel is heavy to carry every day.

    • @tahwsisiht
      @tahwsisiht 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I have been going through a nightmare in a cult like situation and it took a lot away from me. It separated from my son who is still underage and would need my support (broke my heart because I miss him and it is also terrible to feel that I should be there for him to try to work on his anxiety and try to make his future safer financially and mentally). It resulted to lose things that were the most precious for me (my pets), the closest relationships, my basic rights as a human being, my dignity, changed my personality that had been loving/trusting/ good intentioned etc... , health (mental and physical)
      and I didn't mention financial consequences. If the actual abuse is denied, how can we heal and even go through the process of natural mourning?
      If they make you financially incompetent, cut you off from psychological recovery and having it done under spiritual narratives, you are left with nothing to protect yourself with.

    I've had MADD for 8 years and a significant factor in its development was a particularly painful break-up. To this day, even thinking about this person causes me so much pain. My therapist said that my symptoms match that of complicated grief and elaborated that it's possible to experience compl. grief even though the triggering event wasn't a death of a loved one, but rather a more figurative death where someone has left my life.
    Even though I think that, overall, death can be much more traumatic, my therapist said there are some ways in which destruction of a personal bond through a break-up or growing apart can be more crippling in terms of closure - for one, it's easier to relapse into bargaining when that person is alive and when there's a hypothetical chance for a reconciliation, whereas death is more final. It can also be a cause of serious damage to self-worth. When someone suddenly dies, you might take comfort in the knowledge that at least they thought you were worthy of their time, love and attention, but when someone leaves you, it's because they've made a voluntary choice to go on living their lives without you. That can cause all kinds of feelings of inferiority and inadequacy. It makes you question whether you are lovable in the first place, whether you are somehow deficient.
    Most resources on compl. grief deal with death, understandably enough. There doesn't seem to be that much material available on complicated grief over someone who's still alive.

I suppose that's why I had so much depression be better to let go of the feelings and just cry. I truly believe that my mom is in a better place, I just miss her physical presence. My mom was the one person in my life that I could always count on and I knew was always on my side and truly always happy to see me. I miss her laughter, I miss her unconditional love and her encouragement on days I was feeling down. Now, I've been diagnosed with breast cancer and have to have both of my breasts removed.

The hospital just looked at me a shrugged their shoulders. No "sorry". No anything. Today is March 29, 2922. 30 yrs today. I died that day too. I don't know why I'm breathing.

    Great video as always! Have you thought about making a video about the effects of weather and climate on mental health and overall well-being? I mean basic stuff like sun = vitamin D etc is well-known but I'm really curious about things like humidity and barometric pressure and in general how these things affect our bodies. For example I have visual snow syndrome and when I lived in Spain for few months it was much less visible but here in Central Eastern Europe (especially during grey, cloudy, dark, cold days) It's so much more visible! So definitely some neurological stuff going on.

And we'll all have to face it someday, and every of our love ones we’ve loss will want to see us happy wherever they’re. Hope you’ve found peace, comfort and happiness again Susan?

    I have complicated grief in large part because I HAVE NO OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. The person who died was my only immediate family. No partner. I have one extended family member who can be supportive, and it isn't enough. She has her own life. Where are the supports for people with complicated grief who have to grieve their families alone??? I cannot find a book or a group or ANY resource that addresses people like me.

    Yes lost personhood, the reality that mom, dad's outcome will be mine illness, loss, suffering and I look to others to think about how strong they are their strength inspires me. It's why all faith and elders or family matters they understand 20-50 and provide perspective, framework, how to think about something I was let down and it's ok. Life isn't about me it's about others.
    I think I should zone out to the gym and art and thats not perfect because I try to check in with TH-cam. They got me away from cognitive rigidity, drinking, needing sedatives, eating issues over TMJ to music, lectures, I don't want to fail after millions of others make content to heal others.
    Then it was said, your failure to thrive on a SSI. Baby steps. Self love self care. I began thinking of old stories to laugh.
    The funeral is livestreamed Friday morning in WV. I went with friend to his home Oklahoma. I needed cleaned up, I left at 93 moved there after mom's and dad cancer stroke and coo curing foreclosure.
    I think life is a series of awakenings milestones changes and my learning how to be a better self parent.

      -There is a Domestic Violence hotline at:

      I am sorry to hear that you are going through that. I feel that the most cruel things are: denying reality/gaslighting, invalidating feelings and reactions that are biologically just plain normal and "victim" blaming. How can you heal if the wound itself is not allowed to be recognized?
      I hope you will be able to find a counselor that is on top of relational trauma. I hope you are physically safe!
      I wish you the very best! Everybody is entitled to their own life. Nobody is entitled to take control of your life. You are worthy of your basic rights!

  • @jefesalsero
    @jefesalsero 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    How about when your spouse dies and you soon learn that they had been engaged in financial deception (financial infidelity) for years? $80K+ of credit card debt and thousands of dollars of other debt (loans, etc.) - you had no knowledge of this and, because of state law, you are now responsible for that debt as the surviving spouse (the debt was incurred during the marriage, so you're on the hook to pay it). Think that circumstance may be a factor in CG? 🤔😳

    • @helentee9863
      @helentee9863 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes,because you are then grieving not only the loss of your spouse by death, but the loss of what you believed the relationship to be.
      That then undermines your understanding of who you thought yourself to be be,because you think how stupid you must have been all that time ,to have not realised something was wrong in the relationship
      So,really,you are grieving three separate things ,
      The spouses death
      The relationship
      Your understanding of your self
