I remember reading a quote that said “Grief is love that has no place to go.” But clearly you’re putting that love into your cooking, gardening, and scrapbooking. ❤️ May the Lord be close to you as you reflect on your father’s wonderful life and look to honor and remember him in everything you do.
thank you so so much for your kind words ... it is always a constant reminder that what i am feeling right now is love ... taking baby steps and will forever be honoring my dad ❤️
The death of a beloved parent is one of the hardest things anyone can go through. I know. I am going to tell you that you owe it to yourself to take as much time as you need to work through it. There is no deadline for when you stop grieving or how you go about it. I am proud of you and grateful to you for continuing to bring us videos, even though I know it's harder than ever for you to do so. I admire you Tiffy, and I hope your journey of grief turns into a Garden of Wonderful Memories, in due time.❤❤❤🎉
thank you so so so much ... i am naturally such a happy person, so sometimes i really hate how gloomy i feel, but then i am reminded that my love for my dad doesnt have a timeline like you said. and i really cant heal unless i fully feel ... 🥲 thank you so so much for watching and supporting me and giving me this safe space ~
I’m just weeping and crying watching this beautiful love letter to your dad and honest exploration of grief. Thank you for sharing memories of your dad and your delicious food with us. I hope this can continue to be a safe space for you and that you can continue taking time and space when you need ❤
My mom once told me how lucky we were to be able to grieve someone we loved so deeply bc it meant we were even luckier to have shared and to miss soooo many memories with loved ones,, you’ll get there, at the end of the day, a small step is still a step and it all that matters! I wish you and your family the very best and I’m glad to see your vlogs again 🫂
After my dad passed away this past Spring, I really started diving into my own garden. It has become my hobby and outlet to grieve the loss of my parents (dad - this year and mom - 9 years ago). As well as, my simple reminder that if they can grow anything in their garden, I can too. My ❤ goes out to you. It’s such a raw feeling that never goes away but does get better in time.
i'm so so sorry for your loss, it's so important to have an outlet to pour your heart into especially if there's a connection with your loved ones ❤ thank you for sharing ❤❤
Love you, you already had me bawling less than a minute into watching, super proud of you for putting one foot forward every day and letting us share your journey ❤️ So beautiful that you're honouring your Dad's memory by enjoying the glorious harvest from his garden, it's like you and your mum are lovingly continuing his legacy. Praying for your healing day by day, gorgeous girl. Take good care of yourself ❤❤❤
I literally cried almost the whole video, everywhere you were mentioning your dad, I was reminded of my own (also recently lost...) and I was just getting into tears many times.... I feel your grief girl. Literally. Its been 2 year since my dad passed away, and it feels like I am missing him more and more... Sometimes it gets really hard, it feels like I will never get over it.... :( But I guess, with time it gets a bit easier... Stay strong, and let yourself to grief whenever you feel it. Sending you lots of love, your biggest fan Tautvile from Lithuania
Sending you and your family (especially your Mother) my prayers and love. My father passed in 2000 and my Mom 2022. It's something you never get over but over time becomes less painful. You learn to turn the pain into joy meaning you think more about the good times and you learn to be grateful that your loved ones are no longer suffering or in any pain.
Wow. I honestly have yet to find someone who can enbody every single emotion i feel daily after having my dad and bestfriend. Thank you for being able to put your emotions into words. It will be 2 years December 22 and i still miss him so much.
I find so much peace in watching your videos, they’re always so cozy. 💜 My heart broke for you when I heard about your dad. I’m so sorry for your loss, I admire your perspective on your grief & the grateful feeling of having been able to love him & be loved by him. 💕
Youre doing so well. Keep on keeping on everyday. And youll have lots to share with him when you see him again. Glad you and your family have such beautiful times together. ❤
Hey Tiffy, so happy to see you vlogging again, your vlogs are my happy spot, I am also glad to hear in your vlogs about the sadness you feel, these are the feelings other than your awesome cooking that we can relate to. My Dad passed 2 years ago, and I came to terms with, instead of trying to forget my grief, come to full terms with it and accept this too is part of being alive. Just as you make food and nourishment a big beautiful part of your life, grief of losing your Dad adds spice and nourishment to your soul. Grief is beautiful as much as love is. I cannot imagine, every time you cook and eat, or you visit your parents garden, it reminds of you of your Dad, but how beautiful is that? We love to see you grieve and we grieve with you. Life is so precious and short, how many falls do we have in our lifetime, remember now that your Dad is in heaven, he will look after you and your family differently making your life richer. Yes it’s only the memories we have that we take with us. Thank you for having loved your Dad so deeply 😢❤❤
@@tiffyycooks I love watching your videos. I am Korean American and luv all your Korean cooking. Through your blogs, I travel with you, and I am a big fan of our similar Asian-American/Canadian culture and understand what you are going through, your family ties, the way you cook and eat, it's so similar to me. I always say, if she was living near me, we will be best friends : ) I have really come to like your parents through your blogs, they are so cute, was a big shock for all of us as well. My recommendation is to allow yourself to fully grieve and encourage your Mom to do so as well. Take time and literally be creative in your grief, you don't have to be brave about it. Because grieving to this degree is a very important emotion and after you digest and learn to overcome this, it will become sort of a power for you to go on and make your lives better. I really mean it when I say, your Dad is in heaven and he will look after you even more now than he could while he was here. It is sort of like an exercise and passage for your heart, like doing Pilates, you will get better and stronger because of it. Please keep your parents garden in memory of your Dad, let it flourish and you will see how your Dad continues to speak to you through his garden 🏡🌻🌻 Luv and hugs 🤎💜🤎
I lost my dad when I was 18, and I thought the world I had known was gone forever. Thru each year the grief followed me. I couldn’t talk about him or think about him without crying. Even this day I get choked up. However I learned that the world keeps turning, life continues and even tho he’s not physically here with me. His memory, his legacy, and his love continues on thru me and into my children even tho they’ve never met. Don’t let the garden go, keep it and his memory alive, you are the only ones who can do that. Let him live thru your life and the honor of his life. Even when he was gone too soon. Also there isn’t a timeline on grief, you will always miss him and wish he was here to see the magic of your life that you continue to create, but he is watching and sees the wonderful things you’re doing. ❤
My prayers and thoughts are with you. Experiencing grief especially when you lose a parent. That feeling sticks with you. It doesn’t go away but it gets easier. ❤
Thank you Tiffy for sharing your journey with us. It gives us a reminder that we are not alone in this world. Take one day at a time babygirl. Like you said ‘Baby steps’, and make sure to be kind to yourself. Sending you lots of hugs and love!
I've been watching your cooking videos all summer long, and I'm not usually one to comment EVER! But this video really pulled me in. Thank you for creating safe space for others who are grieving with no outlets. Together we can grief (even if it's virtual). I appreciate your raw and real capture of grieving and healing and moving forward. It's messy, it's a lot of pain, and it's a lot of love all at once! Sending you love and hugs.
Truly...Journaling brings out the deepest of our emotions and love❤️even I write letters to my grandma at times when I miss her d most🥺you'll really cherish these pages forever!🤍🥰
You are a ray of sunshine even in the rainy days. 🌞 Thank you for continuing to give us wonderful and thoughtful content. I'm sure it is difficult at times, but hopefully sharing your thoughts and feelings help you heal ❤️ I adore you ❤
I’m so grateful I found you and followed you a year and a half ago. I’ve been so inspired by you to find ways to enjoy life and choose joy even when it feels impossible. Your father had to have been an incredible person to have raised someone so emotionally intelligent and kind hearted. I cried through this whole video and your semi-stuffy nose while narrating your voice over is what did me in. I’m so sorry you have to endure the grief of the loss of your father. I hope each new day brings you a reason to laugh in the midst of your sorrow. ❤️
Tiffy your vlogs are THERAPY..so calming and warming..the quality, dedication, and consistency are mindblowing..love you and your content..pls don't stop making these 😌🤗😘 I seriously hope you will take your time in dealing and healing from your dad's physical absence but don't forger he will be always with you shining in beautiful memories, through diary and garden produce I LOVE YOUR VISUAL DIARIES and I WILL MAKE SURE TO SAVOUR EACH VIDEO TO ITS FULLEST also that garden produce is looking so organic and neat..wishing for abundant garden produce...love ya 😘
Its so good to see you again. May the wonderful memories of your dad rescue you on the days that are flooded by grief, May you eventually inhale deep joy in your precious memories of your dad and loved ones, May you lean into friends and family as you take tiny steps towards the future. Healing will take a long time, my mother passed away in 02/24 and I can be ok and in a instant im crying my eyes out. But I've found that being with family especially siblings I find comfort because they are experiencing the same grief you are and can relate. ❤ Sending much love, prayers and blessings to you and your family. 💕
I was bawling through most of your video. I'm glad that you're able to channel your grief into something creative. This was from a podcast, I heard a long time ago, but food/recipes are the living meomory of your lived ones. I lost my 外婆 quite a few years ago, but every time I make 花卷 like she made it. It's like she's with me
Your journal is so beautiful. Can you imagine how many people from all over are watching this and sending you heartfelt wishes and care during such a hard time. Best, from Australia xxx
Thanks for sharing. Lost my mother to cancer 21 years ago October 15. She taught me everything there is to know about cooking. Keep journaling, it definitely helps. Until we meet them again, continued 🙏🏽
Grief of having lost a parent is a pain that I would've never expected to feel. Especially when you expected that they would die in an old age. I recommend the song "The Next Right Thing" from Frozen 2 because it resonated around grief and as you said. Baby steps. Dealing with grief can be hard, even after so many years will pass. We'll be here for you, Tiff. ❤
I lost my best friend in the begining of the year, the bottled up love is unbareable.... I think it is so beautiful how you have your dad with you in almost all you do
Wishing you and your family love and positivity. ❤❤❤❤❤ grief is so difficult. It’s constantly changes each day. But you are right. It is a sign of love.
My dad passed from cancer at 59. I was 24 and I wish I knew all the things you do going thru the grieving process. What I know now 40 years later it takes time, it’s ok to say I can’t do that today, I can’t see or talk to anyone today and it’s not weakness to ask for help. I love the journal you are putting together, such precious memories. My heart goes out to you all. Maybe as sharing food and conversations was such a big part of your family, you could all get together in his garden and plant veggies etc every season and have a family meal.
Prayers for you and your family tiffy, this vlog was beautiful and you could feel every emotion just wanted to come through the screen and give you a huge hug! Your so strong and you will get through this we are all here for you❤
Just lost my grandpa, thank you so much for videos like theses. They are so comforting. I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for allowing us to peak into your grieving process.
Hey Tiffy, I just wanted to let you know it's been 9 years since my dad passed away, and there are still some days where it hits me like a truck and all I want to do is call him. The pain gets easier to handle but it doesn't ever truly go away. Take time for yourself to let the tears flow and take it a day at a time. You got this, I've seen you grow from tiktok to youtube and I am very proud of your growth and everything you've become. Thank you for being you. We got this.
hey Tiffy, I just wanted to tell you that you should take all the time you need and using your food diaries as a connection to your father’s and your love for food is a lovely gift. Grieving is hard and parting with a parent or any loved one is a traumatic experience 💛 I’m rooting for you!
Hey tiffy... I've been watching you for a long time. And did watch all of your videos. Basically your videos give a sense of comfort and it's my happy place. It's truly great and amazing. We know it's hard and you're trying to be okay and absorbing the grief. I just wanted to say a big thankyou for posting and taking us through the journey. We surely feel the same about your dad. (Even though we just know him from your videos, he was such a beautiful happy soul). I heartily express my deep gratitude and surely he will want you to be the joyful fullest self of yours. Lots of love and wishes ✨🤍
This video made me sad. It brought back memories of when my dad died at a young age and by his own hand. The grief lessens over time but you will remember the special moments that you had with him. It can be a song that you both enjoyed, a dish you both love or a special holiday. Peace be with you and your family.
i am so so so sorry for your loss and sending you a big big hug. you are right ... in the end all we have is memories, so really need to appreciate every little moment in life 🥹🫶🏻
You are such a beautiful and strong person, Tiffy. Grief is debilitating in every way… and the fact that you are doing your best to go on enjoying the things you still have and the people that surround you with love is a sign of just how strong and courageous you are. I do not handle grief as well as you do, and tend to shut down completely and lose myself in it as well. I went through the deepest grief/loss of my life in 2019 and it took me 3 years to even sort of start trying to figure out how to live again. You’re such an inspiration, even though you may not feel like it, you are stronger than you know. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You’re such a precious person and I know your dad is so very proud of who you’ve become ❤
thank you for your kind words ❤ i'm so sorry you had to go through that... we all deal with grief differently, you are also strong too!! there isn't a "right" amount of time to figure out how to live with this new normal... and trust me there are days where it's so overwhelming for me too and I just want to shut down, but I keep telling myself it's ok to feel all the feelings sometimes! I hope you are doing better 🥰
8:34 thank you so much for saying this. I lost my brother at the beginning of Sept and I’ve cried everyday since. It’s not as frequent anymore but watching this video is reminding me that I need to push myself to take those baby steps. Why? Cus I’ll feel better after. I’ve been journaling as of late (a journal I bought prior to his death but hadn’t yet written in) and my entries are dedicated to him. It’s like I get to talk to him every time I write in my journal. We will forever miss our loved ones. May they rest in peace, free of pain. Thank you 🤍♥️🤍 P.S. I had also purchased a blank journal to scrapbook with that I haven’t started yet. I need to buy those little photo printers to get it going :)
It is nice to see you slowly getting back posting your vlogs and continuously sharing your recipes with us, I would see your post at times on IG and TikTok as well. Miss you. Tiffy, even though you are still grieving and going through a rough time you’re still out here motivating and encouraging your fans! Thank you for your support as we all continue to support each other.
TIFFY I LOVE U ur such an inspiration to me, I hope I can be as loving and joyful as u are when I grow up. Thank you for everything Tiffy. We love you. a
Thank you for sharing your outlook in grieving. It’s so nice to see you and your mom continuing your family tradition. You’ve been blessed Tiff! I hope you’re continuing to take time for yourself. Love you muah ❤❤
I have also lost loved ones this past year. You are moving through grief so gracefully. It is true that some moments are harder than others, and by sharing our memories, we collectively heal. Thanks you for your beautiful vlog. 🤍❤️🩹💗
Such a timely video as I just lost my grandma last week. Thank you for your advice and your way of processing grief as this really helped me process my emotions. Sending love to your family 💞
Sending lots of love and hugs from Germany! Just watching your vlogs and crying my eyes out… My Dad died last February and I am missing him so much. My Mom suffers from dementia, and while taking care of her and everyday life, there hasn‘t been much time to really grieving his passing away. Your thoughts (and your food..) are helping so, so much! ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this vlog with us and for reminding me that there are still good things in life 💐
I love your videos always, and the ones with your dad have felt extra precious😢 thank you for being my comfort space on youtube and will be keeping you and your mum in my prayers❤
Thank you so much for ur vlogs tiffyy!! We love u and hope u know that you're loved and the memory of your loving dad will always be with you and us. Love from Sri Lanka ❤❤❤
I lost my mum 3 years ago 😢. The pain is still raw. Every family event, every birthday, the pain is so real. That void will never leave, but I think my mum would just want me to live a fulfilling life as best as I can. I hope Tiff you find healing. Lol ❤
Hi Tiffy I’m so glad you’re posting again. Hope you and your family are doing well both in spirit and in health ❤ We will always support you even from the interwebs 😊
Dear Tiffy, coping with loss is never easy and when it's your very own loved ones, it's the hardest thing in the universe. So take your time and don't worry about the world. As you said already, taking baby steps everyday towards life is the most crucial thing to do at the moment. Take it slow. Your father has had a good life and I can guarantee you that he is out there somewhere, watching you and feeling so proud of you for how far you've come. He was strong and you're strong. You're doing a great job already, so be kind to yourself🤍 Sending love and hugs from India☺
hey Tiffy!! I’m so glad you’re back!! I have been watching and subscribed to your channel for a while now and I just wanted to say that I love your channel so much!! you are amazing and such an inspiration! praying for you🧡🫶🏻
Tiffy, you’re doing great! ❤️ Two weeks ago, my grandma passed away, and when I told my little one, he asked, ‘Mom, will you go to heaven too?’ I told him, ‘Yes, but when I do, I’ll become a star in the sky and watch over you, always keeping you company.’ I believe your dad is now the brightest star up there, and he would be so happy to see you living a joyful and peaceful life.
Thank you immensely for sharing yourself with the world. My father died of cancer 5 years ago. I had often thought about sharing my story, but it's hard to show that much vulnerability on the internet. You are a brave person Tiffy, I could never keep my composure to make a video. Just know we are all praying for you. Take your time with this seriously we will all be here when you are ready. Many blessings 💕💞❣
I love all your videos and I am grateful you are vlogging. Take your time as grief takes a long time...and honestly, you will never get over it as your Dad will always live in your heart. But, the pain will be softer. Take care. ❤
I am happy that you are taking it slow. You do not want to rush through grief. Be kind to yourself, and spend time with your family, and mom. Everything you prepared is delicious as always. I am definitely going to try and make the grill cheese and tomato soup. That looked so scrumptious. Until next time, sending my love from Arizona.
thank you so so so much 🥹 i appreciate your support and yes ... some day i want to rush through it and it def back fires on me 🤣🥲 grief is something i leanred that, i have to feel to properly heal ... thank you for being so understanding ~
I really love your channel and your recipes, I usually don't leave comments but I think I have liked practically every video you've posted. Greif is hard, especially when it is someone you're so close to. I admire you for still continuing to post things even though you're still grieving such a loss, just remember to do things for yourself and take time to appreciate the little things. ❤🐈⬛
Thank you for sharing. My dad passed away from cancer in 2015 so this brought back memories 😢 I’m so glad that you have family with you so you can support each other. ❤ Your videos bring positivity and fun into my life, not to mention deliciousness! Thank you for being you. ❤️Your dad would be so proud. My condolences to you and your family. ❤️
first of all .. F cancer and i am so so so so sorry for your loss ❤️ thank you for being there for me and giving me hope that everything will be ok one day for me ~ appreciate you so much too!!!!
I love Hi bye mama ❤ . I know it's going to be hard to get rid of sadness, or maybe it's not necessary, that shows ur a human . Thanks for make me forget about everything with your videos, you bring like little drops of happiness with every video you post!!! 💝 Hope ur doing better ❤️🩹
Loved your video and will actually watch the Netflix video you mentioned. It looks moving but has humor to help with the heart felt emotions I am sure I will feel. So very sorry for your loss and tears springing out left and right as I watched your video. I love you are being positive yet still allowing yourself to process and taking as long as it must. There just is no easy way. Uggg! Love you cats love your food and videos. We are not alone and neither are you ❤ Midgie
I'm so happy to see you still smiling in your difficult time. It's okay to grief and cry, take your time. I see kitties are journaling too 😂😂😂. Tell ur mom don't get rid of the garden, it's your dad's way of saying I'm still here providing for her 😊. Keep smiling 😊😊😊😊. Please give the recipe ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.... 🤗 Huggggs
So happy to see a video from you. Love to watch you and Dom gardening with your mom, they created such a beautiful space. Grieving for your dad is a natural process. I love that you are journaling and get your thoughts out. Take care, and I look forward to more videos. I love this vlog, the food is super amazing, and so are you❤
I remember reading a quote that said “Grief is love that has no place to go.” But clearly you’re putting that love into your cooking, gardening, and scrapbooking. ❤️ May the Lord be close to you as you reflect on your father’s wonderful life and look to honor and remember him in everything you do.
thank you so so much for your kind words ... it is always a constant reminder that what i am feeling right now is love ... taking baby steps and will forever be honoring my dad ❤️
"It's one of the greatest gift to miss him because it reminds me how lucky I was to love him" - absolutely profound quote.
I’m a silent watcher/fan of yours, but your thoughts and perspective are beautiful. I’m praying for you and send lots of healing and peace your way ❤
thank you so much

one step at a time...still doing that myself even after 17 years. thank you for sharing.

I've been watching your cooking videos all summer long, and I'm not usually one to comment EVER! But this video really pulled me in. Thank you for creating safe space for others who are grieving with no outlets. Together we can grief (even if it's virtual). I appreciate your raw and real capture of grieving and healing and moving forward. It's messy, it's a lot of pain, and it's a lot of love all at once! Sending you love and hugs.
I’m glad you’re taking steps to move forward. Take your time and remember to always take care of yourself because it’ll get better each day! ❤❤❤
❤️ thank you so much
Glad to see you smiling and staying active! Now if only I can get my immersion blender to not splash all over me and the kitchen!
Your videos always make my day! Your dad is smiling from above.
Truly...Journaling brings out the deepest of our emotions and love❤️even I write letters to my grandma at times when I miss her d most🥺you'll really cherish these pages forever!🤍🥰
You are a ray of sunshine even in the rainy days. 🌞
Thank you for continuing to give us wonderful and thoughtful content. I'm sure it is difficult at times, but hopefully sharing your thoughts and feelings help you heal ❤️
I adore you ❤
I’m so grateful I found you and followed you a year and a half ago. I’ve been so inspired by you to find ways to enjoy life and choose joy even when it feels impossible. Your father had to have been an incredible person to have raised someone so emotionally intelligent and kind hearted. I cried through this whole video and your semi-stuffy nose while narrating your voice over is what did me in. I’m so sorry you have to endure the grief of the loss of your father. I hope each new day brings you a reason to laugh in the midst of your sorrow. ❤️
Tiffy your vlogs are THERAPY..so calming and warming..the quality, dedication, and consistency are mindblowing..love you and your content..pls don't stop making these 😌🤗😘
I seriously hope you will take your time in dealing and healing from your dad's physical absence but don't forger he will be always with you shining in beautiful memories, through diary and garden produce
I LOVE YOUR VISUAL DIARIES and I WILL MAKE SURE TO SAVOUR EACH VIDEO TO ITS FULLEST
also that garden produce is looking so organic and neat..wishing for abundant garden produce...love ya 😘
Its so good to see you again. May the wonderful memories of your dad rescue you on the days that are flooded by grief, May you eventually inhale deep joy in your precious memories of your dad and loved ones, May you lean into friends and family as you take tiny steps towards the future. Healing will take a long time, my mother passed away in 02/24 and I can be ok and in a instant im crying my eyes out. But I've found that being with family especially siblings I find comfort because they are experiencing the same grief you are and can relate. ❤ Sending much love, prayers and blessings to you and your family. 💕
I was bawling through most of your video. I'm glad that you're able to channel your grief into something creative.
This was from a podcast, I heard a long time ago, but food/recipes are the living meomory of your lived ones. I lost my 外婆 quite a few years ago, but every time I make 花卷 like she made it. It's like she's with me
Your journal is so beautiful. Can you imagine how many people from all over are watching this and sending you heartfelt wishes and care during such a hard time. Best, from Australia xxx
Thanks for sharing. Lost my mother to cancer 21 years ago October 15. She taught me everything there is to know about cooking. Keep journaling, it definitely helps. Until we meet them again, continued 🙏🏽
i am so sorry for your loss ❤️ and yes ... until we meet them again ... 🥹
I’m praying for you and your entire family, Tiffy. Praying for peace during these times of grieving xx
Grief of having lost a parent is a pain that I would've never expected to feel. Especially when you expected that they would die in an old age. I recommend the song "The Next Right Thing" from Frozen 2 because it resonated around grief and as you said. Baby steps.
Dealing with grief can be hard, even after so many years will pass. We'll be here for you, Tiff. ❤
This is like my fourth time crying to ur vids this year. You have a beautiful way with sharing and capturing. You’re so gifted, thank you Tiffy
What a beautiful expression of love - thank you for sharing it
I lost my best friend in the begining of the year, the bottled up love is unbareable.... I think it is so beautiful how you have your dad with you in almost all you do
Wishing you and your family love and positivity. ❤❤❤❤❤ grief is so difficult. It’s constantly changes each day. But you are right. It is a sign of love.
Tiffy, this video touched me so deeply. Ty for sharing you world & beautiful soul with us❤
My dad passed from cancer at 59. I was 24 and I wish I knew all the things you do going thru the grieving process. What I know now 40 years later it takes time, it’s ok to say I can’t do that today, I can’t see or talk to anyone today and it’s not weakness to ask for help. I love the journal you are putting together, such precious memories. My heart goes out to you all. Maybe as sharing food and conversations was such a big part of your family, you could all get together in his garden and plant veggies etc every season and have a family meal.
Prayers for you and your family tiffy, this vlog was beautiful and you could feel every emotion just wanted to come through the screen and give you a huge hug! Your so strong and you will get through this we are all here for you❤
Just lost my grandpa, thank you so much for videos like theses. They are so comforting. I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for allowing us to peak into your grieving process.
You`re Dad is super proud of you, He will always be around inside your heart
Tiffany, my prayers are with you. Take all the time you need. God has you my sister.
Hey Tiffy, I just wanted to let you know it's been 9 years since my dad passed away, and there are still some days where it hits me like a truck and all I want to do is call him. The pain gets easier to handle but it doesn't ever truly go away. Take time for yourself to let the tears flow and take it a day at a time. You got this, I've seen you grow from tiktok to youtube and I am very proud of your growth and everything you've become. Thank you for being you. We got this.
Awwww no I’m so sorry you lost your Dad ❤❤❤ sending you big hugs
hey Tiffy, I just wanted to tell you that you should take all the time you need and using your food diaries as a connection to your father’s and your love for food is a lovely gift. Grieving is hard and parting with a parent or any loved one is a traumatic experience 💛 I’m rooting for you!
Love your videos and it's a slow process. He will be missed. May he R.I.Paradise 🙏🏽
Hey tiffy...
I've been watching you for a long time. And did watch all of your videos. Basically your videos give a sense of comfort and it's my happy place. It's truly great and amazing. We know it's hard and you're trying to be okay and absorbing the grief. I just wanted to say a big thankyou for posting and taking us through the journey. We surely feel the same about your dad. (Even though we just know him from your videos, he was such a beautiful happy soul). I heartily express my deep gratitude and surely he will want you to be the joyful fullest self of yours.
Lots of love and wishes ✨🤍
This video made me sad. It brought back memories of when my dad died at a young age and by his own hand. The grief lessens over time but you will remember the special moments that you had with him. It can be a song that you both enjoyed, a dish you both love or a special holiday. Peace be with you and your family.
i am so so so sorry for your loss and sending you a big big hug. you are right ... in the end all we have is memories, so really need to appreciate every little moment in life 🥹🫶🏻
@@tiffyycooks thank you. It was a long time ago but you never forget. Allow yourself to feel the loss and pain. HUGS to you.
You are such a beautiful and strong person, Tiffy. Grief is debilitating in every way… and the fact that you are doing your best to go on enjoying the things you still have and the people that surround you with love is a sign of just how strong and courageous you are. I do not handle grief as well as you do, and tend to shut down completely and lose myself in it as well. I went through the deepest grief/loss of my life in 2019 and it took me 3 years to even sort of start trying to figure out how to live again. You’re such an inspiration, even though you may not feel like it, you are stronger than you know. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You’re such a precious person and I know your dad is so very proud of who you’ve become ❤
thank you for your kind words ❤ i'm so sorry you had to go through that... we all deal with grief differently, you are also strong too!! there isn't a "right" amount of time to figure out how to live with this new normal... and trust me there are days where it's so overwhelming for me too and I just want to shut down, but I keep telling myself it's ok to feel all the feelings sometimes! I hope you are doing better 🥰
8:34 thank you so much for saying this. I lost my brother at the beginning of Sept and I’ve cried everyday since. It’s not as frequent anymore but watching this video is reminding me that I need to push myself to take those baby steps. Why? Cus I’ll feel better after. I’ve been journaling as of late (a journal I bought prior to his death but hadn’t yet written in) and my entries are dedicated to him. It’s like I get to talk to him every time I write in my journal. We will forever miss our loved ones. May they rest in peace, free of pain. Thank you 🤍♥️🤍
P.S. I had also purchased a blank journal to scrapbook with that I haven’t started yet. I need to buy those little photo printers to get it going :)
It is nice to see you slowly getting back posting your vlogs and continuously sharing your recipes with us, I would see your post at times on IG and TikTok as well. Miss you. Tiffy, even though you are still grieving and going through a rough time you’re still out here motivating and encouraging your fans! Thank you for your support as we all continue to support each other.
TIFFY I LOVE U ur such an inspiration to me, I hope I can be as loving and joyful as u are when I grow up. Thank you for everything Tiffy. We love you. a
love you and thank you for everything too 🫶🏻
Tiffy we love you 😘 We are encouraged to mourn with those who mourn so we are sending you love and prayers for comfort and strength 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing your outlook in grieving. It’s so nice to see you and your mom continuing your family tradition. You’ve been blessed Tiff! I hope you’re continuing to take time for yourself. Love you muah ❤❤
thank you for your kind words and for watching ❤❤
loss is so difficult. Its overwhelming its so so painful. Seeing you staying strong brings me hope
So sorry for your loss! Be encouraged that you still other loved ones around you and that's what help us go another day, year etc. 🙂❤
i agree ~ end of the day, love is what makes us grief but love is what will help us heal ❤️
Good morning ,I completely understand what your going through. I will be praying for you and your family strength and comfort 🙏🏾😇.
I always get so excited to see you post a new video! :) Your family is so precious; you all are in my prayers.
I have also lost loved ones this past year. You are moving through grief so gracefully. It is true that some moments are harder than others, and by sharing our memories, we collectively heal. Thanks you for your beautiful vlog. 🤍❤️🩹💗
Such a timely video as I just lost my grandma last week. Thank you for your advice and your way of processing grief as this really helped me process my emotions. Sending love to your family 💞
Sending lots of love and hugs from Germany! Just watching your vlogs and crying my eyes out… My Dad died last February and I am missing him so much. My Mom suffers from dementia, and while taking care of her and everyday life, there hasn‘t been much time to really grieving his passing away. Your thoughts (and your food..) are helping so, so much! ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this vlog with us and for reminding me that there are still good things in life 💐
Hello! I’m glad you’re back. Take your time and remember you’re awesome. Love your videos.
🥹🫶🏻 thank you so much
I love your videos always, and the ones with your dad have felt extra precious😢 thank you for being my comfort space on youtube and will be keeping you and your mum in my prayers❤
Thank you so much for ur vlogs tiffyy!! We love u and hope u know that you're loved and the memory of your loving dad will always be with you and us. Love from Sri Lanka ❤❤❤
I lost my mum 3 years ago 😢. The pain is still raw. Every family event, every birthday, the pain is so real. That void will never leave, but I think my mum would just want me to live a fulfilling life as best as I can.
I hope Tiff you find healing. Lol ❤
I enjoy your videos & cooking! Grief is a day by day journey…it gets better 🙌🏼
This was lovely. I loved the peaceful nature scenes and your reflections on grief and love were really neat and true. Sending love ❤
This was what I needed. It touched my soul. Thank you! We will get through this together!
Sending lots of love to you Tiff ❤ You’re doing your best and that’s already amazing 😊
Hi Tiffy I’m so glad you’re posting again. Hope you and your family are doing well both in spirit and in health ❤ We will always support you even from the interwebs 😊
Love you Tiffy!!! Sending love and hugs to you and your family 🙏🏾❤️
I love your parents' garden. Makes one so happy to see the produces ❤
i have been using all the sauces from kaidong to cook. It’s so handy for mom of 2 like me. It also reminds me of you. You inspired me. 😊😊
Dear Tiffy, coping with loss is never easy and when it's your very own loved ones, it's the hardest thing in the universe. So take your time and don't worry about the world. As you said already, taking baby steps everyday towards life is the most crucial thing to do at the moment. Take it slow. Your father has had a good life and I can guarantee you that he is out there somewhere, watching you and feeling so proud of you for how far you've come. He was strong and you're strong. You're doing a great job already, so be kind to yourself🤍 Sending love and hugs from India☺
I completely agree with you! Coping with loss is incredibly challenging, especially when it involves someone so close to us. T
hey Tiffy!! I’m so glad you’re back!! I have been watching and subscribed to your channel for a while now and I just wanted to say that I love your channel so much!! you are amazing and such an inspiration! praying for you🧡🫶🏻
thank you so so so much ❤️❤️
Tiffy, you’re doing great! ❤️ Two weeks ago, my grandma passed away, and when I told my little one, he asked, ‘Mom, will you go to heaven too?’ I told him, ‘Yes, but when I do, I’ll become a star in the sky and watch over you, always keeping you company.’ I believe your dad is now the brightest star up there, and he would be so happy to see you living a joyful and peaceful life.
I love longer videos you post your voice is so comforting ❤
Thank you immensely for sharing yourself with the world. My father died of cancer 5 years ago. I had often thought about sharing my story, but it's hard to show that much vulnerability on the internet. You are a brave person Tiffy, I could never keep my composure to make a video. Just know we are all praying for you. Take your time with this seriously we will all be here when you are ready. Many blessings 💕💞❣
I seriously will never get bored of these videos
I love all your videos and I am grateful you are vlogging. Take your time as grief takes a long time...and honestly, you will never get over it as your Dad will always live in your heart. But, the pain will be softer. Take care. ❤
I completely agree! It's wonderful that you're vlogging
I am happy that you are taking it slow. You do not want to rush through grief. Be kind to yourself, and spend time with your family, and mom. Everything you prepared is delicious as always. I am definitely going to try and make the grill cheese and tomato soup. That looked so scrumptious. Until next time, sending my love from Arizona.
thank you so so so much 🥹 i appreciate your support and yes ... some day i want to rush through it and it def back fires on me 🤣🥲 grief is something i leanred that, i have to feel to properly heal ... thank you for being so understanding ~
I really love your channel and your recipes, I usually don't leave comments but I think I have liked practically every video you've posted. Greif is hard, especially when it is someone you're so close to. I admire you for still continuing to post things even though you're still grieving such a loss, just remember to do things for yourself and take time to appreciate the little things. ❤🐈⬛
I love you so much tiffy❤ I will always support you
thank you so much
Thank you for sharing. My dad passed away from cancer in 2015 so this brought back memories 😢 I’m so glad that you have family with you so you can support each other. ❤ Your videos bring positivity and fun into my life, not to mention deliciousness! Thank you for being you. ❤️Your dad would be so proud. My condolences to you and your family. ❤️

Loved your video and will actually watch the Netflix video you mentioned. It looks moving but has humor to help with the heart felt emotions I am sure I will feel. So very sorry for your loss and tears springing out left and right as I watched your video. I love you are being positive yet still allowing yourself to process and taking as long as it must. There just is no easy way. Uggg! Love you cats love your food and videos. We are not alone and neither are you ❤ Midgie
Your parents garden is beautiful ❤
I'm so happy to see you still smiling in your difficult time. It's okay to grief and cry, take your time. I see kitties are journaling too 😂😂😂. Tell ur mom don't get rid of the garden, it's your dad's way of saying I'm still here providing for her 😊. Keep smiling 😊😊😊😊. Please give the recipe ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.... 🤗 Huggggs
