I want to thank everyone, for your kindness, support, and blessings. It's challenging to share something so personal & highly emotional & I appreciate how compassionate you are. Many blessings to you all.
My brother took his life in 2021 after suffering from PTSD. We had no idea his tour in Iraq affected him to the degree it did. The grief is so hard. Thank you for sharing about your beautiful son. I hope you are finding healing. 💛
You’re so very brave to share this heart wrenching news about your beloved son with us all💔 I am so amazed that you could go back to school, but it was so good that you did, and that we can still see your great videos ❤ Brain injury is such a big deal, and I am sure you are aware of that 🤍God is love and His thoughts are not our thoughts 💖 He is infinite mercy and grace ❤ May you be filled with His peace that passes ALL understanding 💜
I am honored to be watching this. Your openness and courage to come on your podcast and express you deepest heart is truly touching. My heart to yours dear friend. I won’t take away what you’ve shared by talking about my own issues namely PTSD.. but just know that i get it. ❤❤
I am sorry for the loss of your son. I have lost a brother and a son, although they ruled my sons death as an accidental overdose in August 2021. May you find peace in your heart abd mind.
I am so sorry for your lost, please accept my deepest condolences. I appreciate your honesty and your willingness to share your experience and trauma. It is important to talking about mental health and stop treating as tabu subject. My heart goes to you and your family ❤
So sorry to hear about your tragic loss of your son. My personal feeling is that Jesus wraps His loving arms around these precious souls, who have already experienced so much grief.
Big hug from a distance. Our hearts are so vulnerable as mothers. With each child we have, it seems we open ourselves to life-altering loss. I found out my special needs child was abused a couple of years ago and our lives have been turned upside down since. It’s hard not to be bitter and wonder where was that Gift of the Spirit warning me to protect my child? (I only yesterday saw your video on that topic so now I have a whole new perspective!). I have officially left the Church and am trying my best to raise him with his TBM father who can find no fault with the LDS church. Who can say why we don’t know when our children are hurting so much? All I know is it’s good evidence in my opinion that the realm we’re living in is hell. ..You’re son is indeed handsome. You’re story reminds me to reach out to my adult children. They are having to navigate such a weird world. Thank you for sharing your heartache. You don’t have to carry it alone.
I want to thank you for being brave and talking about Mitchell and his choosing to no longer live. This is such a very difficult experience to process. I believe we all return to the creative force when we cease to have this conscious reality. Mitchell is with our creator. Our creator is love. Mitchell is love. Thank you for taking some of the stigma out of suicide. My love to you.
You are very brave to share this! My heart goes out to you! The emotional and spiritual devastation is hard to describe. The last couple of years have been so difficult for so many! These people have extreme pain they are dealing with! My daughter's high school boyfriend committed slow suicide through continual abuse of alcohol and died at the age of 34 on the streets. I believe these sad souls are immediately brought into the most caring and loving hospital in heaven and are in an environment of unconditional love and peace. I almost lost my son in a car accident at sixteen. He had an NDE and it changed his perspective about life. He was kind of on a self destruct and suicide track before the accident and so was I because of a very painful divorce. We both survived and got stronger after his accident. We have been on a continual spiritual journey ever since and are much stronger today thanks to God and deep prayer. God bless you and give you peace at this time and about this situation. It's nice to hear from you and continue on your good work to share truth and love with others.
Thank you for addressing this and sharing. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My daughter took her life at the age of 22 nearly 9 years ago and I have not been brave enough to talk about it, nor have I been able to give away her belongings that I am storing in my garage.
Hi M N, Thank you. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. It's so hard when they don't understand just how valuable and divine they are. I too have some of my son's things. It's normal to hang on to whatever we can of our loved ones. If that moves into 'shrine' mode, that might indicate a more complicated grief type scenario. If ever you'd like someone to talk to, you can contact me offline and I'm happy to support you in any way I can. Galacticstoryteller@gmail.com. Many Blessings to you and your family.
So sorry! Thanks for sharing this and addressing such a heart wrenching time in your family’s life . Thanks for helping so many of us in our time of need. Sending love and hugs to all of you!
This took such courage to open yourself up and share such incredibly personal information. I felt such love FOR you and FROM you throughout this entire video. Thank you for choosing to post this as I believe it will help so many. I'm am sending you healing love 💜💜💜
Our hearts to yours, Madelyn...and thank u for courage, bravery, and willingness to continue to help others in spite of this! U r a one in a million Soul.
thank you for this darling video. This is the first time I found you - through seeing the video just circulating about Jennifer Guskin - and I looked to see what other videos she has and saw your channel...so just thought I'd have a look. At the most recent but you mentioned that your previous video was about this. He looks so much like you.
Oh honey I am so sorry. I am so sorry you have to go through this. What a good looking young man. What a loss. My heart breaks for you. Much love to you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know words can't bring him back or heal the trauma, but sending all my love to you and your family. I pray your heart will heal. ❤❤
Thank you, Susan. I've worried about how the emotional trauma is going affect my physical heart and have focused on that this last year. As you can see, I still have a lot of work to do & appreciate the additional prayers.
So very sorry for your tragic loss, Madelyne. I'm sure in your studies you've seen that after someone makes the decision they are so relieved that they act normal and actually upbeat. You couldn't have known.
Hi Sacred Cow BBQ. You're right. It's a hard one to remember sometimes so thank you. It's interesting how our emotional and intellectual bodies operate so differently. Sometimes it's good to have reminders.
I am so, so sorry to hear about your son. I appreciate you opening up about your experience, which I know wasn't easy. Thank you for your example of reaching out and helping others while you are still grieving. You are much loved and appreciated. 💙🌹💚
Hi Chrystal, We appreciate that. My younger son watched the video and is reading the comments. I know he's touched and appreciates your warmth and support just as much as I do. Thank you!
I’m sorry your family is going through this. my older sister killed herself in 2015 and my older brother did the same in 2018. My mother is a Jehovah’s Witness and in that organization they see suicide as the same as murder except that once you’re dead you can no longer repent the way that murderers can. I’m not sure if my mother believes what the church says. Idk, I haven’t spoke to her about it.
Thank you. I'm sorry for you losses as well. I know that's tough stuff. I'd love to talk with you further regarding your comment on one of the Asia videos. If you're open to that, please email me at galacticstoryteller@gmail.com. Please include your username so I can link the email with you. I hope to hear from you.
Oh no. I am so, so very sorry that you are having to deal with this, the loss of your son and the stigma unfortunately that goes along with it. 😔 It’s quite a double whammy. I know that was so hard to share. I want to thank you for sharing something so personal and private and painful to you. I hope that your sharing will somehow be of help to you. Maybe you will feel better understood or, just heard.. I’m in my 60s now, but when I was 25 years old, I lost my best friend the same way. It Forever changed me.Like you, I never saw any signs whatsoever. To this day, I don’t know why. Her mother did tell me, she left a note. Of course, I would never have asked her mother what the note said. I was hoping she would share with me, but that never happened. Her family was Catholic. I grew up in a protestant background. My understanding of what happened to my friend, was that she was with God for eternity. I still believe that. I believe that God understands us better than we understand ourselves. He Knows better than we do how depression is an illness. And like with any illness, we humans can succumb to them. Nothing takes God by surprise. In no way do I believe this is the unforgivable sin. I was surprised that my friends mother disagreed with me and it actually shocked me. I wanted to comfort her so badly. And she wanted to believe so badly like I believed that her daughter was with God for eternity. But I guess her Catholic believes wouldn’t allow for that . Her mother was dealing with metastatic breast cancer and she passed just a couple months later. I pray that she was able to go in peace. I have been to suffer with anxiety and depression all of my life. I found recently, that I have some genetic mutations that play a part in this. As you said, don’t we all have people in our lives who suffer from depression? I hope if you find answers, you will share with us how we can help people just like yourself, with this blasted stigma associated with suicide. I have another friend whose father committed suicide. It took her a long time to tell me. I had to end up asking because I never understood how he died. And her response, I could tell in her voice how very painful it was to speak it out loud . losing a loved one is hard enough without having to deal with what other people think about it or say about it.. Particularly your grown child. Again I am so very sorry. I’m glad you’re doing things to take care of yourself, like getting away, or being with other people with the same experience. It does help. Life is sure not fair . Somethings we will not understand this side of heaven. I do pray that God will give you a great measure of peace until you are reunited with your son one day. And yes, he was so very handsome!! I know you miss him terribly. I can only imagine. Again, thank you for sharing. And my heart goes out to you today. . ❤️🩹💔 I hope it helps to know that other people care. I have too many friends this has happened to.😔 Sending love and prayers.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a heartfelt and sincere message. It's strange because my viewers are technically strangers and yet I've felt a great deal of love and support from them. I appreciate those who share. It's important to know you're not a lone but I wouldn't wish this on anyone. As an empath, I sometimes have a hard time telling ppl who ask abt my kids because I can feel their natural response (judgement) even though they may outwardly try not to let it show on their face. In the end, I guess that's their issue to deal with but it's hard when you have to be the one to feel it. Thank you again for sending love & support.
I'm very sorry. This is a tremendous loss. He was a nice looking young man with great potential and gifts. I believe he will be using his gifts where we can't go yet to reach and help people. Thank you for sharing this. I too have experienced a friend taking her life and I still fail with words trying to express what that does to those of us left here who cared about her. My own healing journey continues to be a work in progress, as all healing is. I appreciate your wondering if sharing a video about this is the right thing to do. I deeply feel you are doing the right thing. Sending you and your family healing and support.
Hi, Pluto Is a Planet. Thank you for sharing your experience. It's so hard to lose someone in this way and it's a different kind of grieving process. I hope you have a great support system. Best Wishes!
Oh my goodness 💔 I couldn't stop my tears from flowing so I just let them roll with yours. My heart goes out to your entire family! We had a close call with my youngest son several years ago & he is now 25. I am so incredibly sorry you are living my worst nightmare. I understand you not having clear recollection of that night. When I got home from checking my son into the hospital, I was delirious thinking I was too late. I thought my mind was tricking me to just believe he got help in time. All that night my husband had to constantly remind me our boy was safe. Thank you for bearing your heart & soul & sharing this sad news with us. I found you a few years ago & don't know what I would've done without your guidance through my faith crisis & leaving the church. I've wondered where you were & now I know. You were where you should be..with your precious family. Thank you again & bless your heart sweet lady! 💓
Hi Deborah, Thank you for taking the time to share. I have a small channel but I'm so happy if I've helped in any way. I'm also happy to hear your son is here and doing well. These kids can really put their parents through the wringer sometimes and we keep on loving them with all our hearts. Whether they're on this side or have crossed over, I know they feel it. Hold him tight everyday! Thank you for your support. I truly appreciate it.
I am so sorry for the uphill battle that your son faced and for the pain that you have had to endure. Although I have seen your videos with Asia and others, I just today found this one about him. You are a strong woman, and have so much to offer, from what you have learned through your experiences. If you could resume doing videos it would be helpful to others who have had similar circumstances. If not, that is understandable.
I want to thank everyone, for your kindness, support, and blessings. It's challenging to share something so personal & highly emotional & I appreciate how compassionate you are. Many blessings to you all.

Thank you, Jane. He's missed every day and if sharing his story can help someone else, then I guess it's time to make lemonade.
What a difficult journey to walk. Be strong and may you find peace.
Hi s l, I'm working on the finding peace part and it's getting better. It's a slow process and we keep moving forward. Thank you!
