As somebody who doesn't have a maternal presence in my life, I really appreciate the feeling of 'spending time' with creators like you and Maria, it gives such an elevated sense of comfort and peace that just can't be replicated. Thank you so much.
It’s been a lifelong saying I’ve used to ground me when I start thinking the unimportant is important. Thank YOU for writing and being here, Adam. (Love that name!!) ♥️ Jeannie
J.J, I couldnt agree more. Did you ever get the tingles in school while taking tests? When the room is quiet and all you hear is pencils tapping paper and the turning the pages...that was where I first experienced the tingles and Im curious if others experienced that as well...
Your son's words were so inspiring. He was clearly a very unusual 20 year-old. I've struggled with letting go of things my whole life and I'm only just starting to improve with motherhood. I will cherish your wisdom and your son's.
Wow, Princess Diana was one of my all-time favorites. So you truly do flatter me! 😊 I am glad you’re here. Thank you for writing to me! Warmly, Jeannie
OMG YES! I swear I was thinking that she reminds me of someone but couldn't figure out who it was until I saw your comment! She have the same lovely aura as princess Diana, I used to love her so much and she reminds me of her elegance and grace 💗
Oh Jeannie, you made me shed some tears. Thank you for sharing your son’s message. I have 3 young sons myself and I cannot even begin to imagine how you and your family got through the loss. I have lost my mother when I was 17 with no father around. Letting go is not easy, because I don’t want to let go. Memories is all there is left. That’s why I try to make as many great memories with my family, life is so fragile. Thank you for sharing such a personal story, I will remember his words. Love, Nicole
Thank you so much for sharing this, Nicole! I totally understand where you're coming from. Letting go is hard. Really hard. I call it "the art of letting go" because it's something you just develop over time. Sigh. Hard times come, but they also go. Joy is truly here in the most hidden of places when you look for it. I like that you're making wonderful memories with your family. xox Jeannie
Literally this was like being hugged. You need to be protected at all costs. Loved this so much. It’s just a thing, what a lesson to be learned from your very wise son. Thanks for sharing.
Maria has returned the favor to you and recommended your channel to us. You have a new subscriber here. I enjoy your videos very much! Very soothing. Thank you
Being a Mum of grown up children too, my heart goes out to you. Your description of your son’s room - oh Jeannie, my heart went out to you. You have a lovely voice and presence by the way.
I feel like this could have been a TED talk... Truly inspiring and I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for you, but then again your son's wisedom was so powerful.. that no only made your experience more tolerable, but its helping all of us as well. You do an amazing job in comunicating your bla bla blas you truly truly have helping me through my roughest moments.. sending love from Rome. Nicole
Wow, your son was very wise and there’s no doubt that that love and wisdom was a result of how you and your husband raised him. So deeply sorry for your loss. This video was beyond just ASMR. I definitely felt the love and comfort laced throughout it. Thank you so so much for sharing your presence and words with us 💕💕💕💕
Thank you for sharing this powerful message with us. It’s hard to believe that you’ve been through such catastrophic loss, as losing a child. Then having your house burn down. Yet you still have such a bright light & sparkle coming from your soul. It’s contagious & I truly thank you. 🙏
I truly appreciate that! Like I’ve said to others, Adam is probably jumping for joy at being spoken about. He was a joyful class clown and enjoyed attention. So I know he is smiling about all of this. Thank you for taking the time to write to me. I truly appreciate you and I am glad you are here in this community. Warmly, Jeanne
Omg!!!! Where has the woman been my whole ASMR life?!??!!!! Thank you Maria for sharing this talent with us!!! Omg these videos are so amazing and relaxing!!!! New Sub!
Tearing up because my nanny and I used to watch The Sound of Music all the time when I was little, and we’d sing along together ❤️ Thanks for being so warm and inviting!!
I hope this isn’t too heavy, but this video made me cry a little. You remind me so much of my grandmother before she passed away. So classy and witty and bright…I really wish I could have had more time. Some of my favorite things are things that she left me, such as a bit of her jewelry and her favorite silk scarf…I am not quite sure where I’m going with this but…I kept thinking of her throughout this video. Thank you for sharing your son’s memory and for sharing your favorite things. You’re dead right about the importance of “”things”” versus the people we love and memories of them. You’re a very special lady and I absolutely will be a loyal watcher after this video.
Mae, your words are so kind and touching. I'm honored that you think I remind you of someone you care so much for. I'm glad you have those things of your grandma's. They are indeed very special because of their connection to and memories of your sweet grandmother. I'm glad you're here and I look forward to more interactions with you, dear Mae. XO Jeannie
I just started watching this video and almost cried as SOON as you started to hum that song. the sound of music has been one of my absolute favorite movies since I was very little, and to this day I sing the songs from it - especially to my son. I adore you even more now! didn’t know that was possible!!! you remind me a little of Julie Andrews as well. beautiful! 💖 now I will continue watching the video 😂
Oh, Raelle, that is so sweet! Yes, it was a great movie, and it's one I can never tire of watching. The music was amazing! Thank you for your very kind words. They mean a lot. Big hugs, Jeannie
Thank you for the beautiful and touching video, Jeannie! I've also followed Maria for years and years and as it happens, I'm here on her recommendation, as she just posted a video inspired by you. What a beautiful community this is! 💖
You started by making me cry and wanting to go wake up my toddler son to hold him tight, then you ASMR comforted me back to not being sad. Thank you for sharing such personal memories with us. ❤️ P.s. I have so much respect for your love of butter. Toast with butter is my favorite thing.
You are so sweet! And yes, hold that boy as often as you can! And teach him to love excellent butter! Truly, thank you for this very sweet note. I really appreciate it. Warmly, Jeannie
Just discovered your channel and oh man. You give off such a sense of wisdom and calming tranquility. You take me back to when I was way younger (I'm 31 now). Sitting and listening to my grandmother or great grandmothers stories. It takes me back and makes me feel so good remembering that. Those are times I won't get back but memories I'll never forget. Thank you so much for these. Looking forward to as many more as you're willing to give us.
If you’re ever in Britain, there is a coffee and tea house called Pumphrey's and they have my favourite Earl Grey: Blue Lady. It’s a loose leaf tea, very subtly flavoured with flower petals and has a slightly citrusy flavour. Delicious!
Hey, it's a friend from Finland again. Either TH-cam is cleverer than we even understand or there's something magical here - it recommended this video riiiight after the other one I commented on yesterday. So. It happens that my son was 20 as well. 😓 And I'm here, in tears now for what he had said to you about things that won't miss you 😢 such a wise thing to say! So thank you AGAIN! ❤️
I lost someone who was like a mom to me to suicide earlier this year. It’s been so hard and this is like listening to her speak. You have such warmness and maternal care. Thank you for this.
Hi Jeannie, I have literally never commented on any of the zillions of ASMR videos that I've watched but I felt compelled to tell you just how lovely you are in every way, with a timeless elegance that reminds me of the kind of woman I always looked up to and made me feel so safe as a young person. The story of your son is just astonishingly beautiful and you are certainly honoring his memory. On a lighter note, your cats are so smart!! I look forward to more content from you. Thank you!
Wow, thank you, Kate! I'm honored that you wrote to ME! And I know my son is smiling at the thought of being spoken about. (He was such a ham!) I am going to tell my cats you said they're smart. They will agree 100%. Lol! Very glad to have you on my channel and thank you again for writing! Jeannie
Jeannie - I've watched a lot of your videos and have really grown to like and admire you. Then, I started watching this one. I had to pause at 12 min to tell you that you're the epitome of resilience. The heartbreaking story of your son and then the fire would have crushed most people. And yet, here you still are, always positive, consoling, and compassionate. I admire you beyond words. I'm not sure I've "met" a stronger woman than you. ❤
Wow, Suzanne. Thank you so much for this. Your words have truly touched me and I am so appreciative that you took the time to reach out like this. Again, thank you...truly. x J
I am in 💗 with YOU, Jeanie B!!! 💗🕺🏼💗 You are SO awesome!!! I just love your videos. You are so kind and gentle and sincere. And just YOU! And it shows. It comes through, for sure! SO good! AND you make me laugh~~~ I just have to giggle when you say a funny or just so sweet and gentle remark about something. And you are so open. Sharing you. That gives SO much meaning. Your story about your son who passed and what he said. And the fire. And the silly news dramatizing what you said. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ News silliness. BUT just THANK YOU…for sharing YOU! It brings me so much needed calm and when I am dysregulated (out of sorts) one of my tools to get centered again (among many…I am very blessed) is watching your videos. 😊😊😊 And marrying licorice?!? 😂😂😂 You are silly! And fabulous! Thank you~~~ 💗💗💗 And so sweet kitties!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Hey - I'm not old! Lol! Honestly, life is good...and it just keeps getting better. Not because of the circumstances, but because of how I have programmed that space between my ears. I choose to find love, joy, wonder, peace, and good in as many things as I can. I look for flowers in the weeds of life. :) XOX Jeannie
Hello Jeannie.Thank you so much.Your video was so incitful,beautiful and touching.I am so sorry for your loss.Adam sounds like he was a very wise and caring young man.Also with the house fire too,it puts everything into perspective. I loved the explanations of the perfume,tomatoes ,butter etc .Also your cat's are so adorable and clever.Thanks again,for letting us get to know you more.I felt privileged to Hear it x
Oh, Trace - what a lovely comment. Thank YOU! Things like this truly make my day. And I know Adam would love that he's being talked about. He was a funny, good-looking, amazing young man. And yes, perspective is everything. I have to remember that sometimes. It's easy to get caught up in the stuff. I will tell the cats you said they're adorable. 😆 Warmly, Jeannie
Hearing you talk about your son made me cry missing my friend as I'm going through her stuff too after she died. Thank you for sharing that beautiful story with his wise words. Also I'm so glad you got to do a video now with Maria.
I just recently discovered you and you are such a character and I’m so glad to have found you. I just turned 25 and am on the journey of tackling a PhD. I have my qualifying exam today and your softness and wisdom is so helpful to relax and be calm
Welcome, dear Amanda! I used to tell my kids this just before their big exams: Look around the room. Look at all those people. They will probably do well on the test. And if THEY can, YOU can! (And they did!) You've got this, Amanda! I can tell you're a sharp cookie! XO Jeannie
Recently discovered your channel, Jeannie, and you are already easily one of my favorite ASMR creators ever. You have such a beautiful energy about you that comes from the inside out. Such important advice from your son, and something I will try to remember in my life as well. What a wise soul he was! May his memory be a blessing!🤍
Thank you so much for sharing. This felt like therapy I didn't know I needed! And thank you for sharing especially about your son. You have such a warm, comforting presence. Automatic subscription! I like to play asmr while I'm working, but I had to stop and just be present with this one. Thank you so much for being you. 💖
Wow, you really honor me with your words! You are so very kind. For the record, my son is smiling because he loved being the center of attention! A.k.a. class clown! 😁 I really appreciate you taking the time to write to me and you have touched my heart. Warmly, Jeanne
I’m from the east coast, Virginia, I’m I county bumpkin and I’ve worked very hard in my life… your voice is so soothing, your so lovely and wise, I could listen to you for hours….. your very classy lady and I wish you lived next door because I feel like I know you❤️
My favorite Earl Grey tea is Harney & Sons Fine Teas. It is sold at Target in a metal tin. I've also found it in local spas. Thank you for a very relaxing, uplifting video!
You’re a gem, Jeannie. It’s been a difficult 20 years for me (I’m only 27, so don’t know any different) with the sad and traumatic far outweighing the happy and joyful, but your voice and gentleness brings me moments of peace. It can be hard to find the videos/channels that soothe the mind when it’s full of pain and stress, but yours is one that helps. The English heatwave is definitely not helping, but you are :) .. Thank you for sharing your son’s memory, your and your mother’s effort with your tomatoes and your cats. I’m a carer for my grandmother who has dementia and Alzheimer’s and my animals (a dog, a cat and two hamsters) sometimes help me regulate my breathing when things are overwhelming. I also volunteer to help educate folks online about ethical hamster care (with a sprinkling of dog and cat welfare too) and that helps me zone out sometimes. I don’t have many tangible things that bring me comfort, but one would be sentimental items, such as stuffed toy animals that have memories attached :)
Hi there...thank you so much for reaching out. I feel you. Please know that peace is all around you...just ready for you to tap into it. I know things are difficult and you're right, the heat makes it all worse! But it sounds like you are an incredible person with so much to offer others with what you've been through. Being a caregiver is such a challenge and I truly admire that you do this. Sending cool hugs across the pond, Jeannie
I moved out of my home country 6 years ago... for a long time I've been silently struggling over the fact that I left there with a suitcase worth of my whole 15 years there to start a new life. Lately I've been getting flashbacks of happy and sad moments I lived and also remembering the things that formed part of my childhood that I left behind to never see them again... your story about watching your house burn and being glad that your son, pets and yourself made it out alive and well made me break down in tears as it served me as a realization of my silent struggle. I made it out without a scratch and was able to start a new life that turned out to be better that what I would have if I had stayed and attached myself to those things afraid of moving on. Thank you for sharing your story!! I feel healed
Millions of subscribers?! Wow, a girl can dream, right? Tell me how to do that! Lol! Really, thank you for your comments and making me smile. I appreciate you and I’m glad you’re here in this community. Warmly, Jeannie
Also. The way you loop back at the end to the main point about "dont cry over things that dont cry over you." Wow. Brilliant. You must be so proud of your son. Especially as many of us will be taking that with us through the rest of our lives.
I’m sure that Adam is smiling ear-to-ear with people talking about him. (He was such a ham!) Again, thank you for your lovely comments to me. I truly appreciate them. Hugs, Jeannie
Thank you for sharing your story, and for sharing your son’s memory with us. This is actually the first video I’ve watched of yours! I subscribed very quickly! I also immediately perked up when I heard you humming, I remember getting the sound of music on vhs when I was young! It’s always been a favorite of mine. I don’t know if you’ve had it before, but I always recommend Wiley Wallaby’s licorice! It’s around $4 at target and a total steal! Their black and red licorice is *so* good. Anywho, thank you once again for the video! 💓
Hi Kaden! Thank you for commenting here! I'm glad you liked the video AND I love that I have to buy some licorice now! I will be at Target tomorrow....YAY! XOX Jeannie
I found your channel yesterday, your voice is so soothing. But from what I can tell, you’re a wonderful person. Thank you for your content. I’m only 23, still trying to figure life out, your outlook on life really resonates with me x
Oh, to be 23 again! I often have the conversation of “Knowing what I know now what would I do differently if I were to be young again?” I joke that I would invest every penny I ever made into certain stocks! Lol! But I think the bottom line is don’t be afraid to be authentic. Be you. Follow your heart AND your brain. And READ lots of books on lots of subjects. I read a book in my teens that helped form my positive attitude. It was called Seth Speaks. I’m rereading it now. I’m glad you’re here and very grateful for you writing to me and being a part of this community. Very warmly, Jeannie
I needed this video. I have been struggling with a lot lately in life and am very glad Maria recommended you. I greatly appreciate everything you spoke about and can fully agree that life is all about the people. You are so beautiful and wish I could give you a hug. Thank you Jeannie.
Jeannie, I have never watched an ASMR artist who radiated such warmth and kindness. Your ability to be vulnerable and share such personal stories is such a gift to us and I am so grateful to have come across your video. I don’t subscribe often but you are definitely getting one. Sending much light and love 💜
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful story with us about your son's wisdom. Speaking as a young man with a very bad relationship with my own mother, it's so comforting to hear your voice and your incredibly gentle and kind maternal presence, and brings so much of us a lot of peace. Although your son isn't here with us, he was very fortunate to have such a mother with such kindness and wisdom and he lives on with you and with all of us here who have heard his wisdom.
Having you pop up on my recommended list has been the highlight of my night. Not only did your tone and intonation put me at complete peace despite the tedious work I'm chipping away at after hours, but what you spoke about was so poignant. It pierced my heart and truly made me reflect on what's around me. Thank you for the unintentional challenge to my everyday thinking, for convicting me with such kindness and modesty, and for using what was surely a grievous experience in your life for the good of so many of us online. I am happy to call myself a newfound subscriber ❤
You are so unbelievably CHIC! The flawless elegance, gracious wisdom and French butter ☺️ I was so sorry to hear about your son, but thank you for sharing his wonderful story with us 💖
I came to listen to the ASMR and left feeling so enlightened with real wisdom. You’re a one of a kind! Truly! I’m so glad your son’s words are his legacy to you and you’ve shared them with us. Wonderful. ❤️
I’m about a third of the way into the video (this was my first video of yours watching), and my mama heart had to pause, cry a bit, and comment. Thank you for sharing, and his words are absolutely going to stick with me as well. 🤍
This is the first ASMR video I have watched (awake) until the end. You are a beautiful and magnetic spirit. Thank you for sharing your son's wisdom with us. Much love from a fellow French butter fan 😘
Hi! Today was one of my most stressing day I've ever had. But as soon as I got into video, I don't why but your mannerisms, body language, the way your eyes shine, your hair and wisdom in your words are just beyond soothing and it felt like a motherly hug, thank you so much and also thank you for your bravery for sharing your memories... 🙏 Take care ma'am! ❤
Oh my gosh! A warm, motherly hug… That is something that truly makes me feel so good. I really take great honor in that and I am so glad you took the time to write to me. As for the hair, that is luck when I have a good hair day! I hope to see you here in this community and I hope your day gets better and better. I’m glad I was able to give some comfort to you. Warmly, Jeanne
Oh Jeannie I am so happy your video popped up today, your story about the loss of your son, Adam, and your house really struck home. I lost my parents 7 and 4 years ago (Dad first, then mom) and going through all their stuff was so much. So many emotions, so many memories, and Im sure you know the feeling. But! Things are looking up! And you reminded me of that today. So thank you ❤️ Love to you now and always ❤️❤️
Oh Pearl…it’s difficult losing someone. And both your parents, wow. Just remember all the joy, the good things they taught you, the happy memories, etc. We’re all going “there” someday, we just don’t know when, right? I know your parents want you to be as happy as possible while you are still here! I’m glad you wrote to me, truly. I appreciate you being here in this community with me! Big hugs, Jeannie
I've just discovered your channel. I'm a chronic insomniac, and lay in bed listening to your gentle voice forthefirsttime......I have opened my eyes and realised I've been ASLEEP 😴 for 4 whole hours!!!!!! Bless you and thank you 🙏❤xxx
As a mum, I honestly cannot stop crying at your story! I’d have literally smelled his stuff forever had it be my son. I’m so sorry you lost everything 😢xx
Hi Amy, thank you for your kindness. Yes, us mums get it...this is the worst. And trying to release something that is the last remaining "alive" thing - the smell of him - was so hard. Heck, I used to complain about how his room stank like gym shoes, I nagged for him to set the shoes outside and air them out, etc. And yet, that was part of the very thing I didn't want to let go of. But alas...that all got handled for me with the fire. And his words were never truer. We have a 17 year old grandson and I was in his room not too long ago and it smelled like gym shoes...sweaty feet, B.O., etc. It actually made me smile to smell that stinky stuff. Thank you for your kind words. Hug your little ones. Tomorrow is never promised...and yet, I've learned, that when tough things happen, we can somehow get through it. Hugs to you, Jeannie
Also I am a huge earl grey fan being British! I recommend Fortnum and mason! It’s royal stamped so the queen even drinks it! Xox if you ever get chance to visit London, go to their tea shop it is amazing!
Your energy is so calming. Thank you for sharing such intimate pieces of your life with us. You strike me as such a kind, caring, and strong person - I am going to bed both relaxed and inspired tonight! 🥰
I very glad that your channel just came up in my recommended a few minutes ago. Something about the way you speak brings back very fond memories of my grandmother and the way she would speak to me as a child. I needed a little pick up today, and even just the first 2 minutes of this video brought that.
Wow - that is an amazing compliment. You have no idea how much that means to me...and I'm so grateful for you sharing that. Thank you for taking the time to share this with me. Many warm regards and hoping for many more warm memory tingles! Jeannie
Thank you so much for sharing the memory of your son with us. I feel as though I’ve known you my whole life. Your presence is so calming and loving. Thank you so much for the care you put into your content.
I’m so glad I found your channel, currently 6 months pregnant with twins and your videos have helped me to relax for the first time in a while😅glad your channel reached me all the way in Scotland. Thank you for sharing you stories and experiences with us❤️❤️
Just saw this comment and I'm so glad! Thank YOU for writing to me with your lovely comments! Best wishes with your pregnancy! How exciting! XO Jeannie
at first, i clicked in your video just to practice my english. but now, i'm full of comfort. love your voice and your sweet words. lovely hugs from Brazil 💗
Oh Jeanie, The quote that your son told you, I will forever be carrying that with me on a little piece of paper and in my mind, I will most definitely be telling people that when they lose an object/thing that was precious to them, You're actually so inspirational, I actually got so excited when you said that your husband was an 787 pilot and that he flew to one of my most favourite countries, France.
Yes - my husband is a career pilot - it's all he's ever done. Since retiring from UA last year, he's been flying a smaller jet (corporate and charter) so he's getting his flying fix! ;) Adam is smiling ear to ear, I just know it. Thank you for your kind words. XO Jeannie
I have loved Gentle Whispering since her beginnings, about 12 years ago. I too have enjoyed seeing her come into the wonderful gal that she is. My beloved son was killed 2 years ago. He was my life. I walk through this life broken. He was 25. I love your memory of your son Thank you for your channel
Oh, Lynne...I know the pain your heart feels, my dear sister. I do know this...your son (and please share his name with me,) wants you to be happy. I know this with every fiber of my being. I am praying that memories of joy will begin to outweigh that brokenness. I'm sending you the biggest and tenderest of hugs, Lynne. XOX Jeannie
It’s thanks to Maria Gentle Whispering that I found you. You are a fantastic ASMRtist❣️This was a lovely, heartfelt video. Thank you, and God bless you and your family. Oh, and your Mother is adorable 💖
I’m so glad that your channel came up in my recommended videos ♥️ Jeannie, thanks for sharing your personal stories. Your son was so wise - amazing words to live by. Love your calming nature, can’t wait for more videos xx
I put this video on to help me focus on my college work and couldn't stop watching. Your son's wisdom is something i want to keep with me throughout life and I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad he got to have a mom like you in the life he lived.
I feel honoured to hear about your son. He sounded so wise. Thank you for your videos and for sharing your stories with us :) P.S those earrings go with your eyes so beautifully!
Found you from Maria's latest video. I have to say, this video was profound to me in a lot of ways. I lost my mother back in late June and have had a lot of trouble just...processing everything. My sister and I worked on going through several of her personal items and it was a very strange experience all around. Almost didn't feel real (and still kind of doesn't to this day). Working on it slowly for sure. Your son's comment is just beautiful to me. It really makes me think. Thank you for sharing. And for having such a lovely, motherly presence.
Oh, Erika - I'm so sorry on the loss of your mom. We're ALL "headed that way" but it's still weird, hard, crazy when someone does pass. I guess the loving and letting go is something we all learn on some level or other. Here's a tip and maybe you do this already: Talk to your mom - a lot. Tell her things, ask her questions, express your thoughts - out loud. I do this with my son, with my 2 brothers, and with my dad. It helps me feel better...and I like to think they hear me. Glad you're here, Erika. Hugs to you. Jeannie
How kind of you to rescue that poor little guy , I just love listening to your voice , so soothing and calm . Although I like listening to a varied Asmrtists , most of them are younger and it’s lovely to change that to someone more mature and motherly . Thankyou for your memories 💕💜 I could literally invite you over for some dinner and drinks and talk all evening about life with you …..
❤️ Your wisdom gives your videos such a strong feeling of connection. Even when some of the tougher topics shake me a little, I still feel a sense of comfort. It’s relieving, like the kind you feel when you let go of some tension after a much-needed hug.
Your channel is going to Blow up I'm certain. The vibes omg you're so beautiful and graceful and relaxing in your lovely mannerisms. It's like spending time with the attentive Mother I never had 🙃. I'm so sorry about your son. I can't even imagine, but thank you for sharing the story, sad as it was. I feel what he said will stick with me.
Thank you so much, dear Chelsea! Your words mean a lot to me. I hope I can help you in some small way. Maybe a bit of comfort and nurturing...the kindness from a mother that you do deserve! XO Jeannie
When I was younger I would stay at my grandmothers house over the summer. Every night she would bring out old keep sakes and trinkets and softly speak to me about them and her memories. Always made me feel so at ease. Haven’t had that feeling in a while until now. You are truly a gem. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. 💜
I just found your channel last night. I always say to myself “ok, I’ll know in 10 seconds if this is an ASMR gem.”. Only took me about 3 seconds to hit that subscribe button. I have two sons - 8 and 5 years old. Your story hit me hard. I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t think of a better way to honor Adam daily than to still find joy in your own life as often as you can. Thank you, Jeannie. Today, I’ll think of you and your son.
hi Jeannie, thank you for another great video! 💜 You have no idea how much your videos help me and inspire me! You're such a strong woman and your attitude towards life is definitely something to admire. I'm so sorry you had to go through difficult situations in life, and I really admire how you reflect on the past! Anyway I love the idea for this video, it is a lot more meaningful than a simple haul because all of the objects have a story behind them, it is always interesting to hear about your life experiences. Have a lovely day, and thank you again for posting another wonderful video! 🥰🥰
Hello dear Eva!! I always love seeing your input. Thank YOU for your wonderful feedback...it really means a lot. I know Adam would LOVE that he's being talked about. 😊 You have a lovely day as well, friend. XO. Jeannie
I was having a really bad anxiety attack about my pregnancy, my health, my upcoming birth. My birth with my son 2 years ago was days long and very traumatic. It ended with a vacuum delivery.. Which has caused many problems for him. My anxiety has been so severe that ive been having episodes of chest pains and trouble breathing. I was fumbling through youtube trying to find anything to help relax me from my panic. This actually soothed the physical symptoms of my anxiety attack in a matter of minutes and I am very very grateful for that. Your voice is so gentle and calm like the kind of Mother I wish I had. And the blah blah blah was 100% what I needed just now. So thank you very much for what you are doing here. You are very good at it ❤️
Oh, darling girl! I'm so sorry you've been so anxious! And I understand why. Kandi...please make sure you find ways to relax...tune out...let go...and trust. This birth will probably be much easier than the last. That is my prayer for you. But regardless, you don't want to go into it all wound up. Envision how good you're going to be feeling afterward...holding your little baby. Imagine peace and tranquility all around you as you near delivery. You've got this, Kandi. When is your due date? Please keep me posted! Sending gentle hugs and lots of love, Jeannie
I just ordered your favorite perfumes the 70s my time too you are Classy , Classic gorgeous 70s super model and you are funny the shoes platform at that time I can relate no matter the pain Vanity and Beauty over wrote it :) thank you Jeannie.
As somebody who doesn't have a maternal presence in my life, I really appreciate the feeling of 'spending time' with creators like you and Maria, it gives such an elevated sense of comfort and peace that just can't be replicated. Thank you so much.
Thank you for that lovely comment, Caitlin. I'm glad beyond words that I can help bring a little peace to you.
Warmly,
Jeannie
I relate to this sm. 💗
I completely agree Caitlin 💖💖
I 100% relate
Same! I don’t speak to my mother. My grandma was my maternal figure and she passed away 2 days before Christmas last year. Jeannie reminds me of her ❤
6:07 "I wouldn't cry over anything that wouldn't cry over you." I'll remember that.
Thank you for sharing your life experiences with us. 🙏
It’s been a lifelong saying I’ve used to ground me when I start thinking the unimportant is important.
Thank YOU for writing and being here, Adam. (Love that name!!) ♥️
Jeannie
Thank you for sharing your son’s memory with us. 😘
You are very welcome, Taewah. Thank you for being her and sharing in the community! XO. Jeannie
Jeannie, you're gonna blow up on here. You remind me of teachers I had that gave me asmr tingles while they read books to us. God bless.
J.J, I couldnt agree more. Did you ever get the tingles in school while taking tests? When the room is quiet and all you hear is pencils tapping paper and the turning the pages...that was where I first experienced the tingles and Im curious if others experienced that as well...
@@EyesofAIs I honestly can't remember. But it sounds like an ASMR trigger.
Your son's words were so inspiring. He was clearly a very unusual 20 year-old. I've struggled with letting go of things my whole life and I'm only just starting to improve with motherhood. I will cherish your wisdom and your son's.
Thanks for sharing this. He would love knowing his words continue to inspire. 💖
I dont know why, but you remind me so much of princess Diana. Also, your voice is so soothing💓🥰
Wow, Princess Diana was one of my all-time favorites. So you truly do flatter me! 😊
I am glad you’re here. Thank you for writing to me!
Warmly, Jeannie
OMG YES! I swear I was thinking that she reminds me of someone but couldn't figure out who it was until I saw your comment! She have the same lovely aura as princess Diana, I used to love her so much and she reminds me of her elegance and grace 💗
@@monaorinji That is so kind!
I just had the same thought then saw this comment! 🤯😄🤍
Oh Jeannie, you made me shed some tears. Thank you for sharing your son’s message. I have 3 young sons myself and I cannot even begin to imagine how you and your family got through the loss. I have lost my mother when I was 17 with no father around. Letting go is not easy, because I don’t want to let go. Memories is all there is left. That’s why I try to make as many great memories with my family, life is so fragile. Thank you for sharing such a personal story, I will remember his words. Love, Nicole
Thank you so much for sharing this, Nicole! I totally understand where you're coming from. Letting go is hard. Really hard. I call it "the art of letting go" because it's something you just develop over time. Sigh. Hard times come, but they also go. Joy is truly here in the most hidden of places when you look for it. I like that you're making wonderful memories with your family. xox
Jeannie
Literally this was like being hugged. You need to be protected at all costs. Loved this so much. It’s just a thing, what a lesson to be learned from your very wise son. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, Hannah - you are so sweet! Thank you!
XO
J
6:10 "I wouldn't cry over anything that wouldn't cry over you," is great advice! This is really relaxing
Thank you, dear Brandon. I appreciate this.

Maria has returned the favor to you and recommended your channel to us. You have a new subscriber here. I enjoy your videos very much! Very soothing. Thank you
Awesome! Thank you!
Being a Mum of grown up children too, my heart goes out to you. Your description of your son’s room - oh Jeannie, my heart went out to you. You have a lovely voice and presence by the way.
Thank you so much, Tess. Hugs, J
I really like your energy, very gentle and motherly 🧡
Oh, I just love that!! Thank you for the highest of compliments! 🥰
XO Jeannie
I feel like this could have been a TED talk... Truly inspiring and I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for you, but then again your son's wisedom was so powerful.. that no only made your experience more tolerable, but its helping all of us as well. You do an amazing job in comunicating your bla bla blas you truly truly have helping me through my roughest moments.. sending love from Rome.
Nicole
Oh, my dear friend - thank you for this. I needed to hear this today! 💖💖💖
Wow, your son was very wise and there’s no doubt that that love and wisdom was a result of how you and your husband raised him. So deeply sorry for your loss. This video was beyond just ASMR. I definitely felt the love and comfort laced throughout it. Thank you so so much for sharing your presence and words with us 💕💕💕💕
This is such a lovely message. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this powerful message with us. It’s hard to believe that you’ve been through such catastrophic loss, as losing a child. Then having your house burn down. Yet you still have such a bright light & sparkle coming from your soul. It’s contagious & I truly thank you. 🙏
Thank you for this lovely message, Gail!
You give the ultimate maternal vibes! To me, you’re the archetype of a “classy lady”!
Omg! Thank you, Stacy! That is the nicest thing!
I’m very glad you’re here on my channel!
XO
Jeannie
Jeannie: Please accept my condolences on the loss of your precious son.
I truly appreciate that! Like I’ve said to others, Adam is probably jumping for joy at being spoken about. He was a joyful class clown and enjoyed attention. So I know he is smiling about all of this.
Thank you for taking the time to write to me. I truly appreciate you and I am glad you are here in this community.
Warmly, Jeanne
Omg!!!! Where has the woman been my whole ASMR life?!??!!!! Thank you Maria for sharing this talent with us!!! Omg these videos are so amazing and relaxing!!!! New Sub!
Hello! You are so sweet! Thank you for this lovely message! 🥰
Jeannie
Tearing up because my nanny and I used to watch The Sound of Music all the time when I was little, and we’d sing along together ❤️ Thanks for being so warm and inviting!!
Thanks for sharing!! This is so sweet! xox
I hope this isn’t too heavy, but this video made me cry a little. You remind me so much of my grandmother before she passed away. So classy and witty and bright…I really wish I could have had more time. Some of my favorite things are things that she left me, such as a bit of her jewelry and her favorite silk scarf…I am not quite sure where I’m going with this but…I kept thinking of her throughout this video. Thank you for sharing your son’s memory and for sharing your favorite things. You’re dead right about the importance of “”things”” versus the people we love and memories of them.
You’re a very special lady and I absolutely will be a loyal watcher after this video.
Mae, your words are so kind and touching. I'm honored that you think I remind you of someone you care so much for.
I'm glad you have those things of your grandma's. They are indeed very special because of their connection to and memories of your sweet grandmother.
I'm glad you're here and I look forward to more interactions with you, dear Mae.
XO
Jeannie
I just started watching this video and almost cried as SOON as you started to hum that song. the sound of music has been one of my absolute favorite movies since I was very little, and to this day I sing the songs from it - especially to my son. I adore you even more now! didn’t know that was possible!!! you remind me a little of Julie Andrews as well. beautiful! 💖
now I will continue watching the video 😂
Oh, Raelle, that is so sweet! Yes, it was a great movie, and it's one I can never tire of watching. The music was amazing! Thank you for your very kind words. They mean a lot. Big hugs, Jeannie
“Life is too short to have bad butter.” I think I found my mentor.
Thank you for the beautiful and touching video, Jeannie! I've also followed Maria for years and years and as it happens, I'm here on her recommendation, as she just posted a video inspired by you. What a beautiful community this is! 💖
Hi sweet Emmi! Thank you for your kind words! So glad to have good people on this channel! It’s such a great community! ♥️❤️♥️
You started by making me cry and wanting to go wake up my toddler son to hold him tight, then you ASMR comforted me back to not being sad. Thank you for sharing such personal memories with us. ❤️
P.s. I have so much respect for your love of butter. Toast with butter is my favorite thing.
You are so sweet! And yes, hold that boy as often as you can! And teach him to love excellent butter!
Truly, thank you for this very sweet note. I really appreciate it.
Warmly,
Jeannie
Just discovered your channel and oh man. You give off such a sense of wisdom and calming tranquility. You take me back to when I was way younger (I'm 31 now). Sitting and listening to my grandmother or great grandmothers stories. It takes me back and makes me feel so good remembering that. Those are times I won't get back but memories I'll never forget. Thank you so much for these. Looking forward to as many more as you're willing to give us.
I loved reading this lovely memory! Thank you for sharing! 🥰
Profound words from your son. I felt every word. Aha moment! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for that! XOX
Your aura is so comforting and warm, there really is no other channel like yours that makes my inner child happy ☺️
Wow, thank you! Those are such kind words and truly move me.
Thank you, Lauren, for sharing that.

Jeannie
If you’re ever in Britain, there is a coffee and tea house called Pumphrey's and they have my favourite Earl Grey: Blue Lady. It’s a loose leaf tea, very subtly flavoured with flower petals and has a slightly citrusy flavour. Delicious!
Sounds delicious!!
Hey, it's a friend from Finland again. Either TH-cam is cleverer than we even understand or there's something magical here - it recommended this video riiiight after the other one I commented on yesterday.
So. It happens that my son was 20 as well. 😓 And I'm here, in tears now for what he had said to you about things that won't miss you 😢 such a wise thing to say!
So thank you AGAIN! ❤️
Wow - just wow. Let’s believe in the magic drawing us to one-another! I like that! And so would our boys!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@JeannieBASMR ❤️
it’s been so long since i’ve found a creator whose voice elicits the same level of feeling as yours does! you’re incredible!
I lost someone who was like a mom to me to suicide earlier this year. It’s been so hard and this is like listening to her speak. You have such warmness and maternal care. Thank you for this.
Big hugs to you, dear Crystal!
Hi Jeannie, I have literally never commented on any of the zillions of ASMR videos that I've watched but I felt compelled to tell you just how lovely you are in every way, with a timeless elegance that reminds me of the kind of woman I always looked up to and made me feel so safe as a young person. The story of your son is just astonishingly beautiful and you are certainly honoring his memory. On a lighter note, your cats are so smart!! I look forward to more content from you. Thank you!
Wow, thank you, Kate! I'm honored that you wrote to ME! And I know my son is smiling at the thought of being spoken about. (He was such a ham!)
I am going to tell my cats you said they're smart. They will agree 100%. Lol!
Very glad to have you on my channel and thank you again for writing!
Jeannie
This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen in my entire life
🥰 Wow - thank you!
Jeannie - I've watched a lot of your videos and have really grown to like and admire you. Then, I started watching this one. I had to pause at 12 min to tell you that you're the epitome of resilience. The heartbreaking story of your son and then the fire would have crushed most people. And yet, here you still are, always positive, consoling, and compassionate. I admire you beyond words. I'm not sure I've "met" a stronger woman than you. ❤
Wow, Suzanne. Thank you so much for this. Your words have truly touched me and I am so appreciative that you took the time to reach out like this. Again, thank you...truly. x J
I am in 💗 with YOU, Jeanie B!!! 💗🕺🏼💗 You are SO awesome!!! I just love your videos. You are so kind and gentle and sincere. And just YOU! And it shows. It comes through, for sure! SO good! AND you make me laugh~~~ I just have to giggle when you say a funny or just so sweet and gentle remark about something. And you are so open. Sharing you. That gives SO much meaning. Your story about your son who passed and what he said. And the fire. And the silly news dramatizing what you said. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ News silliness. BUT just THANK YOU…for sharing YOU! It brings me so much needed calm and when I am dysregulated (out of sorts) one of my tools to get centered again (among many…I am very blessed) is watching your videos. 😊😊😊 And marrying licorice?!? 😂😂😂 You are silly! And fabulous! Thank you~~~ 💗💗💗 And so sweet kitties!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Aw, thank you for taking the time to send all this! It is truly appreciated!
You have such grace and wisdom, and such a wonderful, personable way of expressing yourself. Your videos are true treasures.
Thank you so much 🤗 This means a lot.
XO
Jeannie
I want to grow old like you, so graceful and smart. Makes growing up seem less scary 🙂
Hey - I'm not old! Lol! Honestly, life is good...and it just keeps getting better. Not because of the circumstances, but because of how I have programmed that space between my ears. I choose to find love, joy, wonder, peace, and good in as many things as I can. I look for flowers in the weeds of life. :)

Jeannie
Hello Jeannie.Thank you so much.Your video was so incitful,beautiful and touching.I am so sorry for your loss.Adam sounds like he was a very wise and caring young man.Also with the house fire too,it puts everything into perspective. I loved the explanations of the perfume,tomatoes ,butter etc .Also your cat's are so adorable and clever.Thanks again,for letting us get to know you more.I felt privileged to Hear it x
Oh, Trace - what a lovely comment. Thank YOU! Things like this truly make my day. And I know Adam would love that he's being talked about. He was a funny, good-looking, amazing young man. And yes, perspective is everything. I have to remember that sometimes. It's easy to get caught up in the stuff. I will tell the cats you said they're adorable. 😆 Warmly, Jeannie
Hearing you talk about your son made me cry missing my friend as I'm going through her stuff too after she died.
Thank you for sharing that beautiful story with his wise words.
Also I'm so glad you got to do a video now with Maria.
Thank you so much! ❤️
I just recently discovered you and you are such a character and I’m so glad to have found you. I just turned 25 and am on the journey of tackling a PhD. I have my qualifying exam today and your softness and wisdom is so helpful to relax and be calm
Welcome, dear Amanda! I used to tell my kids this just before their big exams: Look around the room. Look at all those people. They will probably do well on the test. And if THEY can, YOU can! (And they did!)
You've got this, Amanda! I can tell you're a sharp cookie!
XO
Jeannie
Recently discovered your channel, Jeannie, and you are already easily one of my favorite ASMR creators ever. You have such a beautiful energy about you that comes from the inside out.
Such important advice from your son, and something I will try to remember in my life as well. What a wise soul he was!
May his memory be a blessing!🤍
Thank you so much! And welcome!!
Thank you so much for sharing. This felt like therapy I didn't know I needed! And thank you for sharing especially about your son. You have such a warm, comforting presence. Automatic subscription! I like to play asmr while I'm working, but I had to stop and just be present with this one. Thank you so much for being you. 💖
Wow, you really honor me with your words! You are so very kind. For the record, my son is smiling because he loved being the center of attention! A.k.a. class clown! 😁
I really appreciate you taking the time to write to me and you have touched my heart.
Warmly, Jeanne
I love how she brings up Maria :) And the rest is history
Jeannie you are a strong, resilient lady. We could all learn a lesson from you. Thank you so much for sharing your story x
You are so welcome and THANK YOU for these very kind words, Fiona!
XO
Jeannie
I’m from the east coast, Virginia, I’m I county bumpkin and I’ve worked very hard in my life… your voice is so soothing, your so lovely and wise, I could listen to you for hours….. your very classy lady and I wish you lived next door because I feel like I know you❤️
Wow, thank you, Tammy. I'm very glad you're here and that you find comfort in the videos! And you can pretend I'm just next door! ;)
Big hugs,
Jeannie
PSS: Thank you for sharing your son’s wisdom & memories. May he rest in love. ❤️🙏
I appreciate that, truly. XO
If you wouldn’t mind me asking, what breed of cats are those? My cats are the same color!
My favorite Earl Grey tea is Harney & Sons Fine Teas. It is sold at Target in a metal tin. I've also found it in local spas.
Thank you for a very relaxing, uplifting video!
You’re a gem, Jeannie. It’s been a difficult 20 years for me (I’m only 27, so don’t know any different) with the sad and traumatic far outweighing the happy and joyful, but your voice and gentleness brings me moments of peace. It can be hard to find the videos/channels that soothe the mind when it’s full of pain and stress, but yours is one that helps. The English heatwave is definitely not helping, but you are :)
..
Thank you for sharing your son’s memory, your and your mother’s effort with your tomatoes and your cats. I’m a carer for my grandmother who has dementia and Alzheimer’s and my animals (a dog, a cat and two hamsters) sometimes help me regulate my breathing when things are overwhelming. I also volunteer to help educate folks online about ethical hamster care (with a sprinkling of dog and cat welfare too) and that helps me zone out sometimes. I don’t have many tangible things that bring me comfort, but one would be sentimental items, such as stuffed toy animals that have memories attached :)
Hi there...thank you so much for reaching out. I feel you. Please know that peace is all around you...just ready for you to tap into it. I know things are difficult and you're right, the heat makes it all worse! But it sounds like you are an incredible person with so much to offer others with what you've been through.
Being a caregiver is such a challenge and I truly admire that you do this.
Sending cool hugs across the pond,
Jeannie
I moved out of my home country 6 years ago... for a long time I've been silently struggling over the fact that I left there with a suitcase worth of my whole 15 years there to start a new life. Lately I've been getting flashbacks of happy and sad moments I lived and also remembering the things that formed part of my childhood that I left behind to never see them again... your story about watching your house burn and being glad that your son, pets and yourself made it out alive and well made me break down in tears as it served me as a realization of my silent struggle. I made it out without a scratch and was able to start a new life that turned out to be better that what I would have if I had stayed and attached myself to those things afraid of moving on. Thank you for sharing your story!! I feel healed
What a very touching message. Thank you for this.
you are AMAZING how do you not have millions of subscribers already 🤩
Millions of subscribers?! Wow, a girl can dream, right? Tell me how to do that! Lol! Really, thank you for your comments and making me smile. I appreciate you and I’m glad you’re here in this community.
Warmly, Jeannie
Also. The way you loop back at the end to the main point about "dont cry over things that dont cry over you." Wow. Brilliant. You must be so proud of your son. Especially as many of us will be taking that with us through the rest of our lives.
I’m sure that Adam is smiling ear-to-ear with people talking about him. (He was such a ham!)
Again, thank you for your lovely comments to me. I truly appreciate them.
Hugs,
Jeannie
Thank you for sharing your story, and for sharing your son’s memory with us. This is actually the first video I’ve watched of yours! I subscribed very quickly! I also immediately perked up when I heard you humming, I remember getting the sound of music on vhs when I was young! It’s always been a favorite of mine. I don’t know if you’ve had it before, but I always recommend Wiley Wallaby’s licorice! It’s around $4 at target and a total steal! Their black and red licorice is *so* good. Anywho, thank you once again for the video! 💓
Hi Kaden! Thank you for commenting here! I'm glad you liked the video AND I love that I have to buy some licorice now! I will be at Target tomorrow....YAY!
XOX
Jeannie
God bless you and your family and everyone seeing this 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! 💕
I found your channel yesterday, your voice is so soothing. But from what I can tell, you’re a wonderful person. Thank you for your content. I’m only 23, still trying to figure life out, your outlook on life really resonates with me x
Oh, to be 23 again! I often have the conversation of “Knowing what I know now what would I do differently if I were to be young again?” I joke that I would invest every penny I ever made into certain stocks! Lol!
But I think the bottom line is don’t be afraid to be authentic. Be you. Follow your heart AND your brain. And READ lots of books on lots of subjects. I read a book in my teens that helped form my positive attitude. It was called Seth Speaks. I’m rereading it now.
I’m glad you’re here and very grateful for you writing to me and being a part of this community.
Very warmly,
Jeannie
I needed this video. I have been struggling with a lot lately in life and am very glad Maria recommended you. I greatly appreciate everything you spoke about and can fully agree that life is all about the people. You are so beautiful and wish I could give you a hug. Thank you Jeannie.
I'm so glad our girl Maria brought you here, dear Tucker. Sending you a hug over the airwaves! J
Jeannie, I have never watched an ASMR artist who radiated such warmth and kindness. Your ability to be vulnerable and share such personal stories is such a gift to us and I am so grateful to have come across your video. I don’t subscribe often but you are definitely getting one. Sending much light and love 💜
Thank you so much 🤗 Your comment just lit up my heart, dear Aphrodite. Truly.
I'm very glad you're here sharing your energy on my channel!

Jeannie
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful story with us about your son's wisdom. Speaking as a young man with a very bad relationship with my own mother, it's so comforting to hear your voice and your incredibly gentle and kind maternal presence, and brings so much of us a lot of peace. Although your son isn't here with us, he was very fortunate to have such a mother with such kindness and wisdom and he lives on with you and with all of us here who have heard his wisdom.
I love this, dear Jesse. Thank you. ♥️
Having you pop up on my recommended list has been the highlight of my night. Not only did your tone and intonation put me at complete peace despite the tedious work I'm chipping away at after hours, but what you spoke about was so poignant. It pierced my heart and truly made me reflect on what's around me. Thank you for the unintentional challenge to my everyday thinking, for convicting me with such kindness and modesty, and for using what was surely a grievous experience in your life for the good of so many of us online. I am happy to call myself a newfound subscriber ❤
You truly made my evening with this beautiful comment! I'm honored that you are a subscriber!
XO
Jeannie
You are so unbelievably CHIC! The flawless elegance, gracious wisdom and French butter ☺️ I was so sorry to hear about your son, but thank you for sharing his wonderful story with us 💖
Thank you, dear Leah! Life...and good French butter. With one, you need the other! ;)
So glad you're here...thank you!
Jeannie
I came to listen to the ASMR and left feeling so enlightened with real wisdom. You’re a one of a kind! Truly! I’m so glad your son’s words are his legacy to you and you’ve shared them with us. Wonderful. ❤️
I’m about a third of the way into the video (this was my first video of yours watching), and my mama heart had to pause, cry a bit, and comment.
Thank you for sharing, and his words are absolutely going to stick with me as well. 🤍
Thank you so much, Rosy. This means a lot. XOX
Jeannie
I love The Sound of Music! My grandma and I used to sing the songs together ❤️
This is the first ASMR video I have watched (awake) until the end. You are a beautiful and magnetic spirit. Thank you for sharing your son's wisdom with us. Much love from a fellow French butter fan 😘
Hi Donna, thank you for this lovely comment. Glad to know I’m not the only good butter lover out there! 🥰 J
Hi! Today was one of my most stressing day I've ever had. But as soon as I got into video, I don't why but your mannerisms, body language, the way your eyes shine, your hair and wisdom in your words are just beyond soothing and it felt like a motherly hug, thank you so much and also thank you for your bravery for sharing your memories... 🙏
Take care ma'am! ❤
Oh my gosh! A warm, motherly hug… That is something that truly makes me feel so good. I really take great honor in that and I am so glad you took the time to write to me. As for the hair, that is luck when I have a good hair day!
I hope to see you here in this community and I hope your day gets better and better. I’m glad I was able to give some comfort to you.
Warmly, Jeanne
What a wise and graceful person you are ❤️
Wow - that is so kind! Thank you!

You have such a soothing voice and relaxing and calm energy. I am loving your channel!
Thank you so much! I am loving that YOU are loving the channel! 🤩 Thank you for being here, truly! XO. Jeannie
Oh Jeannie I am so happy your video popped up today, your story about the loss of your son, Adam, and your house really struck home.
I lost my parents 7 and 4 years ago (Dad first, then mom) and going through all their stuff was so much. So many emotions, so many memories, and Im sure you know the feeling. But! Things are looking up! And you reminded me of that today. So thank you ❤️
Love to you now and always ❤️❤️
Oh Pearl…it’s difficult losing someone. And both your parents, wow. Just remember all the joy, the good things they taught you, the happy memories, etc. We’re all going “there” someday, we just don’t know when, right? I know your parents want you to be as happy as possible while you are still here!
I’m glad you wrote to me, truly. I appreciate you being here in this community with me!
Big hugs,
Jeannie
I've just discovered your channel. I'm a chronic insomniac, and lay in bed listening to your gentle voice forthefirsttime......I have opened my eyes and realised I've been ASLEEP 😴 for 4 whole hours!!!!!! Bless you and thank you 🙏❤xxx
Wow, thank you! I'm so happy if I can help you sleep, dear Trude. I get the insomnia!
Big hugs,
Jeannie
As a mum, I honestly cannot stop crying at your story! I’d have literally smelled his stuff forever had it be my son. I’m so sorry you lost everything 😢xx
Hi Amy, thank you for your kindness. Yes, us mums get it...this is the worst. And trying to release something that is the last remaining "alive" thing - the smell of him - was so hard. Heck, I used to complain about how his room stank like gym shoes, I nagged for him to set the shoes outside and air them out, etc. And yet, that was part of the very thing I didn't want to let go of. But alas...that all got handled for me with the fire. And his words were never truer.
We have a 17 year old grandson and I was in his room not too long ago and it smelled like gym shoes...sweaty feet, B.O., etc. It actually made me smile to smell that stinky stuff.
Thank you for your kind words. Hug your little ones. Tomorrow is never promised...and yet, I've learned, that when tough things happen, we can somehow get through it.
Hugs to you,
Jeannie
Also I am a huge earl grey fan being British! I recommend Fortnum and mason! It’s royal stamped so the queen even drinks it! Xox if you ever get chance to visit London, go to their tea shop it is amazing!
Annnnnd I’m crying😩😩😩the fact that you survived that much pain in such a short time…unreal!
Aww...thank you, dear Krista. I appreciate your tender energy here. XOX J
Your energy is so calming. Thank you for sharing such intimate pieces of your life with us. You strike me as such a kind, caring, and strong person - I am going to bed both relaxed and inspired tonight! 🥰
I'm so glad to hear this! I feel so good when I know I've helped someone relax! :)
J
that "dont get upset about something that wont be upset over you" is a seriously awesome way of looking at things.
I very glad that your channel just came up in my recommended a few minutes ago. Something about the way you speak brings back very fond memories of my grandmother and the way she would speak to me as a child. I needed a little pick up today, and even just the first 2 minutes of this video brought that.
Wow - that is an amazing compliment. You have no idea how much that means to me...and I'm so grateful for you sharing that. Thank you for taking the time to share this with me. Many warm regards and hoping for many more warm memory tingles! Jeannie
That was one of the nicest looking tomatoes I have ever seen 🍅❤️
Thank you for sharing simplicity 😘🙏
Thank you so much for sharing the memory of your son with us. I feel as though I’ve known you my whole life. Your presence is so calming and loving. Thank you so much for the care you put into your content.
Wow, thank you, Maggie. Your words are so very kind! XO Jeannie
You and Maria are all I watch for ASMR.
I’m so glad I found your channel, currently 6 months pregnant with twins and your videos have helped me to relax for the first time in a while😅glad your channel reached me all the way in Scotland. Thank you for sharing you stories and experiences with us❤️❤️
Just saw this comment and I'm so glad! Thank YOU for writing to me with your lovely comments! Best wishes with your pregnancy! How exciting! XO Jeannie
OMG The Son story ... REALLY MADE ME CRY ... X
What a beautiful gift of a lesson from your son that he has now given to all of us through you. Thank you both ❤️
You're very welcome, dear Amy! Thank you!
at first, i clicked in your video just to practice my english. but now, i'm full of comfort. love your voice and your sweet words. lovely hugs from Brazil 💗
So glad you’re here, Gigi!
I’m so sorry you lost your son, Jeannie. Much love to you. ❤ thank you for sharing your personal story.
Thank you so much!
Oh Jeanie, The quote that your son told you, I will forever be carrying that with me on a little piece of paper and in my mind, I will most definitely be telling people that when they lose an object/thing that was precious to them, You're actually so inspirational, I actually got so excited when you said that your husband was an 787 pilot and that he flew to one of my most favourite countries, France.
Yes - my husband is a career pilot - it's all he's ever done. Since retiring from UA last year, he's been flying a smaller jet (corporate and charter) so he's getting his flying fix! ;)
Adam is smiling ear to ear, I just know it. Thank you for your kind words.

I have loved Gentle Whispering since her beginnings, about 12 years ago. I too have enjoyed seeing her come into the wonderful gal that she is.
My beloved son was killed 2 years ago. He was my life. I walk through this life broken. He was 25.
I love your memory of your son
Thank you for your channel
Oh, Lynne...I know the pain your heart feels, my dear sister. I do know this...your son (and please share his name with me,) wants you to be happy. I know this with every fiber of my being. I am praying that memories of joy will begin to outweigh that brokenness.
I'm sending you the biggest and tenderest of hugs, Lynne.

I have never cried from an asmr video before. I love your channel because your voice is so motherly and wise. Thank you for your videos Jeannie 💕
First of all, I love your name! Secondly - thank you. From the bottom of my heart! XO Jeannie🥰
One earl grey tea brand I LOVE is teapigs!! All of their teas are fantastic and their earl grey is so delicious.
Tea pigs?! Wow! I love the name! I’ll have to try it! Thank you!!!

It’s thanks to Maria Gentle Whispering that I found you. You are a fantastic ASMRtist❣️This was a lovely, heartfelt video. Thank you, and God bless you and your family. Oh, and your Mother is adorable 💖
Thank you so much! And of course, I thank our girl Maria! She's the best! I'm glad you're here! XOX Jeannie
This is such a breath of fresh air for internet videos. I loved hearing the story about your son, it was so sweet. So glad I found your channel.
I’m so glad that your channel came up in my recommended videos ♥️ Jeannie, thanks for sharing your personal stories. Your son was so wise - amazing words to live by. Love your calming nature, can’t wait for more videos xx
Oh, Vicky. Your words to me are so special! Thank YOU! I’m glad you found this channel, too!

I put this video on to help me focus on my college work and couldn't stop watching. Your son's wisdom is something i want to keep with me throughout life and I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad he got to have a mom like you in the life he lived.
Thank you for this kind message! XO Jeannie
I feel honoured to hear about your son. He sounded so wise. Thank you for your videos and for sharing your stories with us :)
P.S those earrings go with your eyes so beautifully!
Thank YOU so much! Your words really touch me!

Would you ever consider doing an all humming video? Your voice is warm and comforting!
Hmmm. I’d have to think about that. 😋
Found you from Maria's latest video. I have to say, this video was profound to me in a lot of ways. I lost my mother back in late June and have had a lot of trouble just...processing everything. My sister and I worked on going through several of her personal items and it was a very strange experience all around. Almost didn't feel real (and still kind of doesn't to this day). Working on it slowly for sure.
Your son's comment is just beautiful to me. It really makes me think. Thank you for sharing. And for having such a lovely, motherly presence.
Oh, Erika - I'm so sorry on the loss of your mom. We're ALL "headed that way" but it's still weird, hard, crazy when someone does pass. I guess the loving and letting go is something we all learn on some level or other.
Here's a tip and maybe you do this already: Talk to your mom - a lot. Tell her things, ask her questions, express your thoughts - out loud. I do this with my son, with my 2 brothers, and with my dad. It helps me feel better...and I like to think they hear me.
Glad you're here, Erika. Hugs to you.
Jeannie
@@JeannieBASMR That's a wonderful tip and I'll definitely try it. ❤️
Who’s Maria?😭
How kind of you to rescue that poor little guy , I just love listening to your voice , so soothing and calm . Although I like listening to a varied Asmrtists , most of them are younger and it’s lovely to change that to someone more mature and motherly . Thankyou for your memories 💕💜 I could literally invite you over for some dinner and drinks and talk all evening about life with you …..
Food and drinks? On my way, Amy! 🥰
Thank you for the kind message! J
❤️ Your wisdom gives your videos such a strong feeling of connection. Even when some of the tougher topics shake me a little, I still feel a sense of comfort. It’s relieving, like the kind you feel when you let go of some tension after a much-needed hug.
Another super kind message, dear Miah. Thank you! And here's a big hug! J
Your channel is going to Blow up I'm certain. The vibes omg you're so beautiful and graceful and relaxing in your lovely mannerisms.
It's like spending time with the attentive Mother I never had 🙃.
I'm so sorry about your son. I can't even imagine, but thank you for sharing the story, sad as it was. I feel what he said will stick with me.
Thank you so much, dear Chelsea! Your words mean a lot to me. I hope I can help you in some small way. Maybe a bit of comfort and nurturing...the kindness from a mother that you do deserve!

When I was younger I would stay at my grandmothers house over the summer. Every night she would bring out old keep sakes and trinkets and softly speak to me about them and her memories. Always made me feel so at ease. Haven’t had that feeling in a while until now. You are truly a gem. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. 💜
What a lovely memory with your grandmother! That touched my heart!
Glad you're here and enjoying the channel!

I just found your channel last night. I always say to myself “ok, I’ll know in 10 seconds if this is an ASMR gem.”. Only took me about 3 seconds to hit that subscribe button.
I have two sons - 8 and 5 years old. Your story hit me hard. I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t think of a better way to honor Adam daily than to still find joy in your own life as often as you can. Thank you, Jeannie. Today, I’ll think of you and your son.
3 seconds! Wow! I’m honored! 🥰
hi Jeannie, thank you for another great video! 💜 You have no idea how much your videos help me and inspire me! You're such a strong woman and your attitude towards life is definitely something to admire. I'm so sorry you had to go through difficult situations in life, and I really admire how you reflect on the past! Anyway I love the idea for this video, it is a lot more meaningful than a simple haul because all of the objects have a story behind them, it is always interesting to hear about your life experiences. Have a lovely day, and thank you again for posting another wonderful video! 🥰🥰
Hello dear Eva!! I always love seeing your input. Thank YOU for your wonderful feedback...it really means a lot. I know Adam would LOVE that he's being talked about. 😊 You have a lovely day as well, friend. XO. Jeannie
I was having a really bad anxiety attack about my pregnancy, my health, my upcoming birth.
My birth with my son 2 years ago was days long and very traumatic. It ended with a vacuum delivery.. Which has caused many problems for him.
My anxiety has been so severe that ive been having episodes of chest pains and trouble breathing. I was fumbling through youtube trying to find anything to help relax me from my panic.
This actually soothed the physical symptoms of my anxiety attack in a matter of minutes and I am very very grateful for that.
Your voice is so gentle and calm like the kind of Mother I wish I had. And the blah blah blah was 100% what I needed just now. So thank you very much for what you are doing here. You are very good at it ❤️
Oh, darling girl! I'm so sorry you've been so anxious! And I understand why.
Kandi...please make sure you find ways to relax...tune out...let go...and trust. This birth will probably be much easier than the last. That is my prayer for you. But regardless, you don't want to go into it all wound up. Envision how good you're going to be feeling afterward...holding your little baby. Imagine peace and tranquility all around you as you near delivery. You've got this, Kandi.
When is your due date? Please keep me posted! Sending gentle hugs and lots of love,
Jeannie
