let me further define things being angry at a situation isn't the same as anger at a person, the person who murdered your nephew probably didn't mean to, a flash of anger isn't the same as intent.
@@garethmitchell7723 Absolutely. I agree 100%. I wonder though if that 14 year old thug was sentenced to life in prison without parole. I know he was sentenced to prison for his murder but how long?
I cried, tears actually fell down my face. I could have used this harsh, raw, life altering talk years ago, but I'm so glad I found it now. Thank you Jamie Denyer and thank you Conner.
I lost my brother due to murder and this made me think and realize... Thank you so much you sure told a beautiful story n very sorry for your loss, I hope you know how much this has helped me realize so much
Jaimie came to my college today at around 11:30 am and gave us a 2 hour talk. he was very inspirational and had a few of my classmates in tear or on the verge. he’s very motivational with his words and a highly respected man. big ups to you jaimie, thank you
i'm really surprised that this clip hasn't yet hit over 100,000 views?? the passion in his lecture is unreal...... thank you for sharing what happened to you all. really sorry....
Wenchangel Jac I was thinking the same thing... millions of people will *watch* a cat play or something, but somehow only tens of thousands have seen this?
This guys is amazing, saw him speak at a conference in Darlington, came out of the seminar with more energy than ever before. Absolutely inspirational.
Thank you for this..it's like you're passing on Connor's love of helping people. You've opened my eyes and touched my heart. This should be shown in schools.
I've never commented on a TH-cam video but this video is incredible ! You Jamie are an amazing speaker, very personable, I felt the passion behind every word and it moved me to tears. I can relate 100% to what your saying and I thank you for - as you say - blossoming from the planting you received. You are exactly what this world needs more of, hope your good ✨
I couldn't of said it better myself Peter! I was one of the honoured 6 that carried Connor to his final resting place.. I carried him on my shoulder that day, and carry him in my heart forever more! NEVER EVER LEAVE US xxx
Was scrolling through Instagram and saw a comment on Ronda Rousey latest post about GRUMPTION and a post by GriefPreacher using the word Grumption to forgive a murder and then telling people to search TH-cam for "One Punch Murder". I stopped and reread the comment because I normally don't go check out product or talks people suggest but for some reason I did and Absolutely Powerful. Not only did your words resonate with me, touch me and empower me I also have requested to follow on Instagram. I lost my father ti Cancer and he never smoked, drank or did anything to cause him to become sick; he's been "sleep" for almost two years now and I've carried so much pain, suffering and hate with me about his lost because I never understood why...why my father was dealt such a crappy hand. But listening to you preach about forgiveness, that time is so precious and family that today at this moment I forgive my father for leaving me. Forgive him for being in so much pain and suffering the last few years of his life. Forgive him for being so brave and strong for me and my family on his last day before going to sleep. Forgive him for leaving me because he left because it was his tine and it's now my time to grow, be stronger and be brave for what life has to throw at me. So thank you GriefPreacher for giving me the greatest gift I could have asked for...my life back. God Bless you, your family and Connor.
What an incredible guy! Thank you for such a transparent, powerful and inspiring talk. Pain,when used properly, can be a powerful force for transformation
Jamie, so brave of you to share your experiences and allowing ppl to learn from your journey. I can only imagine the countless ppl you've inspired. Thank You 😊
Such a profound and moving story, it brought me to tears and touched me deeply. I am so sorry for the loss of your nephew, may his name live on forever.
the most I ever got out of a ted talk, absolutely amazing and truly resonated with me and my life experience. had me in tears. so heartfelt and true. your changing paradigms and its a blessing to all who can receive the message your putting out there. stay blessed.
When I watched this talk in person at my school, I think half of my year group cried, and I was one of them. I really admire this man for putting all of the arrogant boys in my year in their place and I think they realized they can't keep acting like idiots for the rest of their lives. Powerful message
Truly worth the time to watch. I often say Time is our Most Precious Resource, hoping to remind myself of that as much as others. More people should see this talk.
I commented before I finished the video... And it just kept getting better and better. You're such a strong soul, so giving and very motivating. Thank you! #weareallone
I'm very humbled by your kind words. It truly does mean more to me than you know! THANKYOU for stopping by and taking up your valuable time to comment. Stay blessed.💙
Sorry for your loss. I am very moved. It was a reality check for me. We all have a purpose in life that money can’t buy. A beautiful legacy I hope for me. ❤️. Thank you! 🙏🏾
This video should have 40 million views. Such an inspiration to me this morning I had to leave this message even if it's 2 years later. God bless this man and his family. Everyday is a blessing and a opportunity to better than we were yesterday.
It was a blessing to experience a talk from the Grief Preacher today in Brecon Theatre as part of a student conference with NPTC Group. Such an eye opening, inspiring and motivating experience to say the least! I will be bringing my R-GAME to every obstacle I encounter in life from now on! Peace and love 👏🏻
I’m so glad he’s doing something so beautifully POSITIVE and life changing with his grief and pain! His nephew the encourager would be exceptionally proud of your work 👏
I originally watched this a couple of months ago and this morning the message weighed heavily on me. This is of value and needs to be heard as lives will be touched.
Amazing!! Your way of conveying your message almost gave me Goosebumps... Thank you for reminding the basics to live life..Connor really was a very inspiring person and taught us a lot about living life..😊
Shalu.. I'm so humbled by your words!! Thankyou for taking the time to stop by and leave your amazing comment. Connor was, is, and always will be an extraordinary inspiration! Blessings
having had many fellow students pass in high school this hits home, I can't imagine the feeling of my best friend when he had to sit through the trial of his dead brother...deep stuff, awesome lecture! couldn't agree more about the basics
Preach it brother.... by this everyone will know that u are my disciples if u love one another. John 13:35 And I love how u say Conner is forever asleep! Praise god! We do not die we go to sleep until the coming of Jesus Christ!! We will see our brothers & sisters in heaven I truly truly believe that
brother that was deep!! and very true. idk how i got to this video but it was ment for me. Your words just make so much more sense when you speak it. sorry for the loss! keep doing the thing you were blessed to do!! much love
For some of us the thing we have to let go of is the wish that our family is not toxic and is not poisoning us. For some of us being faithful to the monster we have had to live with is the thing that we have to shut away--forever.
This was speaking right to me at this time in my life when I need it the most. I believe the Lord led me here today! First let me say I am so sorry for your loss... ❤Connor was a beautiful boy and he would be so honored and proud for what you have done for him, helping his death not be in vain. Thank you for sharing Connors helping hand with me, I hope to carry this lesson with me always! Powerful, life changing inspiration. Thank you!
@GriefPreacher - not only did you make me reevaluate how I spend my time - my minutes, you introduced me to a phenomenal young man this morning - Connor. (I heard about you via LordanArts). Thank you for tearing back the veil to show us all what really matters. My thoughts and prayers for healing, and peace, are with your whole family 💐
Man thank you so very very much for setting off so many emotions. I can't even come up with the words on the way I feel, all I know is it's what I needed to hear!!!! Thanx again!!
powerful voice made me cry the same thing happened to my brother from behind coward punch miss him so much my heart breaks our family will never be the same . god bless you conner rip sweetheart x
This is a real eye opener, a very inspiring and thought provoking talk, and a sad loss to hear about the death of Connor. Its nice to know that something positive came out of the terrible situation.
very inspirational talk Jamie, you've obviously not let hatred and bitterness get the better of you, and turned the tables on a very sad situation. you describe eloquently in your own style what life certainly does have in store for us, and a noble philosophy of how to transcend the inevitable grief. it sounds like you are a man on a mission, keep up the good work ;)
A fabulous speech delivered with passion. One of the best TEDTalks I’ve seen actually. However, I do query the story about organ donation and specifically about the lives that Connor saved. Because that organ donation didn’t save his life. We somehow seem to assume that somebody has died when the organs are removed for donation but I thought about it for a long time and realised that of course the donor is not dead when the organs are removed. They kept alive. Because once you’re dead your organs are dying and they can’t Be removed and used again. Connor might have been on the verge of dying and with no hope of recovery but he was still alive when those organs were removed and that was what killed him. And it’s why I will never agreed to donate my organs.
Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate the kindness you showed. I’ll just clear up the organ donation scenario. Connors brain stem was ruptured, and was completely “brain dead” but the life support machine is what kept his body “alive”… or just merely functioning. But In the grand scheme of things as soon as his head hit the floor when he was punched, he was theoretically dead from then on. No chance of ever coming back to consciousness again. So Connor wasn’t on the “verge” of dying. He was completely and utterly brain dead, and his body was being kept functioning “artificially”
This man came into my school and changed my day. He taught me that people are always worth something
Same!!
The tone of his voice makes you feel his pain, very impressive and powerful speech thank you for sharing
"Everyone of us has a photograph of a moment we wish we could go back and live again and again" you are so right, sir.
Transfixed from the first word, what a powerful speaker. Message received.
I know I'm 3 years late but this really is one of the best Ted Talks.
Trully inspiring Man.
No constructive comment is to late buddy. ;)
Just stay motivated.
On occasion anger, righteous anger can create positive change, I think this is one of those times.
