- Grief is the response to loss, particularly to the loss of someone or some living thing that has died, to which a bond or affection was formed. Although conventionally focused on the emotional response to loss, grief also has physical, cognitive, behavioural, social, cultural, spiritual and philosophical dimensions. While the terms are often used interchangeably, bereavement refers to the state of loss, while grief is the reaction to that loss.

I keep coming back to this. My dad passed a year ago and nothing has captured the feeling of grief so totally. Today, the waves are 100 feet tall.
Todays trigger was Billy Joel. We used to drive along the lake blasting Billy Joel. The music brings me so much joy and leaves me breathless in grief at the same time.
My deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your dad. I felt the same way after my mom passed away. The grief has gotten a lot better but will never be gone. She’s been gone a lot of years now and I still grieve, especially on her birthday and the anniversary of her death each year. There are certain triggers, too. 😞❤️
My dad passed two weeks ago. I'm finding myself here too. For the last week, life went back to "normal" and I was almost mad at myself because I wasn't "feeling" much. Today, I'm working from home in my empty house (with the exception of my dog), it's raining outside and miserable, and I just have time to think. My wave is 100 feet tall and crashing. I know we'll all get through this but it just hurts.
@@kevinbrennen6773 hope the waves are smaller today.

This is beautiful and so true. Perfect description of what grief feels like. I’ve felt it many times, unfortunately. The bad thing is that in order to heal after a loss you have to embrace the grief, don’t try to suppress or avoid it. If you do you’ll never get past it. It takes a long time and is very painful but one day you will start to feel better and it does get easier. Hang in there and never give up! Thank you for this! ❤️
Oh how well this captures griefs long storm! I lost an angel, a starlight from her shone love, wisdom, ,clarity, joy, whatever I needed, she shone that way. My compass rose died nigh on two years ago now. I had lived in her blessed glow, for, for, my forever! I am still at sea dashed by waves ,fewer, smaller, a little more predictable, survivable, but I still find living hard. Poetry has helped my healing and I would urge all who grieve to try it. It is not a harbour in the storm but it can help you see what you must do to forge a new path. After all that is what we all must do! Grief is after all the cost of love, its depth a balance for the joy you had! I wish you well on your rocky, stormy way.

❤I Pray for you
My 35 year old daughter died January 7,2024…I did too ❤
❤
I'm so sorry

My father has also passed...and this poem really hits the nail on the head of grief. 💔❤🩹
Two days from now my big brother was pronounced dead. (Last year) He was 26, me 23. I looked to him almost any time I needed advice or assistance. We were thick as thieves. Longest I went without him was 3 months. This last year has been tough. Im having a hard time coping with the loss. So here I am.
I'm sorry for your loss Mason, you hang in their and do your brother proud.
@@TheWanderingPaddyAKAJamie thanks man. I’ve been trying to. To tell ya the truth though, his name was mason. We had a shared TH-cam account That I can’t bring myself to let go of. Or change the name.
@@TheWanderingPaddyAKAJamie as of recent my waves have felt at least 100ft tall almost ever single day. First year was coping, but I haven’t really been able to lately. Just the thought of him makes me weep. But this video helps, more than you know. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart
Hang in there & take it one day at time. Its all you can do sometimes. You're not alone. Sending you a Big Hug.
Im so sorry for your loss, I lost my brother in 1 feb too, life never been darker, does it get better?
That touched my heart so much , and brought a tear to my eye, as it brings back the sadness of
losing my son and partner , and being haunted by the loving times and sad memories 💙💙
I'm sorry for your loss Elaine :(
I lost my wife, and my kids lost their mother, 2 months ago. Part of the time we’re just trying to hang on, a lot of the time we can’t believe the ship isn’t still sailing, sometimes we’re able to breathe and appreciate her presence and love and our gratitude.
Thank you for this poem.
I'm sorry for you loss my friend
My heart goes out to you. My brother-in-law lost his wife years ago leaving him with 3 young children. We tried to help as we also had 2 young sons. We could see how hard it was for him. Happy to say his children are now grown-up & he found new love. Dont give up.

I think this poem is also extremely relevant to going through a marriage breakup. Going through one at the moment myself and the pain at times is just unbearable. I am very fortunate that our marriage was (and still is) filled with so much love that we can both navigate our way through the pain through love and always choose the loving response. It doesn't stop the waves of emotions that seem to hit you like a tonne of bricks, but the waves definitely come less frequently over time. Life is tough, but love is the light of the world.
I hear you... it describes all types of grief
I’m heading to cemetery just now.. I wanted to hear some poetry to nourish me, and I search for poems for grieving and this came up. It is you came up. I have been listening to you for awhile and find your words, your voice soothing and embracing. I nearly died of a broken heart 22 years ago… thank you dear one.. many thanks
Sorry for your loss, I hope they give you some comfort ❤
Grief is the bill that comes due when you lose a loved one. Quite often, that bill feels like a 100 ton of bricks falling on you, or as this poem says. "100-foot waves."
❤this is so true indeed. I lost my dearest husband almost 5 years ago..I will love and miss him forever ❤
❤
This is the best thing iv heard on grief since my wife died 15 years ago. ❤️
I've always loved this poem, and I've loved this piece of music for a long time also. My father just passed away, and this poem is so poignant and beautiful and you read it so well. Thank you for helping me in my grief.
Thank you
@@TheWanderingPaddyAKAJamie Thank you. Truly.
My amazing mom passed away last night.
This is hard.
I miss her so very much.
Sorry for you loss
@@TheWanderingPaddyAKAJamie Thank you
She loves you so much🩷
This is my reality right now. Thank you for finding the exact way to describe it. Having just lost our mom 2.5 years ago, the waves were starting to be 50-80 feet tall, but then we lost our dad this week... so back to just floating. The metaphor of waves for the periods of sadness with intervals for time to appreciate the cherished memories is exactly how it feels.
Oh my gosh this is so true! I felt like a tsunami of grief would suddenly wash over me and sweep me out. Unexpectedly…but then I managed to go with the flow and let the tears fall. I still get small waves but now they’re followed with a good memory . Thanks for this ❤🤗
Glad it brought you some peace
How beautiful it is!😌
I lost my mother 27 years ago when I was 29. I have almost been without her as long as I had with her . I still miss my mom so much . She never got to see 3 of my four kids . My father died 3 years after my mom . He was 64 years old. I felt so alone , I was no one’s child anymore . My mom was an only child , my father had one sibling whom died a few years after my dad. Time softens the pain , but the “ waves” of sadness &grief still hit me hard.
I'm sorry for your loss 😢
So beautiful and so sad at the same time 😢
My beloved husband died on me 5 months ago from a heart attack. He was there then completely gone.

I'm sorry for you loss my friend

Mine passed in August and Im with ya
My Mother passed away 35 years ago at the age of 58. I’m 65 now and have never reconciled my grief and loss of her guiding hand. Much water has passed under the bridge since then and my only thoughts are that I’m am lucky for every day I have and I enjoy the small things in life.
My mom passed 26yrs ago Feb 18th. I stumbled upon this on Instagram. It is so hauntingly true and beautiful.
I'm sorry for your loss :(

My father passed Feb 21, 2019… right before my high school graduation. Then, July 28th, 2020, my Nana passed away. I had to moved to a new state to escape the drama. Suddenly, Feb 8, 2021, my dog passed away. Then, Dec 27, 2022, my grandmother passed away. I’m drained.
❤
Oh Rachel.. thats so much to take on board. I'm sorry for your loss. Sending you all the love.
This is so beautiful. I am bawling as I write this as for me, my Mother just passed 2 weeks ago and I am currently drowning ... but this is just what I needed. Thank you "The Wandering Paddy"
❤️
Bless your heart
True, "The waves never start coming."
Shakespeare knew grief. He lost his 11-year-old son "Hamnet" to the plague. His grief is well portrayed in this from his play "King John":
Grief fills the room up of my absent child,
Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me,
Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words,
Remembers me of all his gracious parts,
Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form;
Then, have I reason to be fond of grief?
Fare you well: had you such a loss as I,
I could give better comfort than you do.
I will not keep this form upon my head,
When there is such disorder in my wit.
O Lord! my boy, my Arthur, my fair son!
My life, my joy, my food, my all the world!
My widow-comfort, and my sorrows' cure!
Beautiful

Two months ago I lost my best friend, some one who I loved and now I'll never get that chance to tell them how I felt, and it's been hard for me. But one day while doom scrolling through TH-cam I came across this video. When I first watched it I cried so hard, but this video helped me realize that even though it hurts now and the waves keep coming, with time I'll slowly get better and be able to deal with the waves as they come and as the grow less monstrous. Thank you for posting this ❤
❤
Is there a version without the song behind?
Do you need it for anything in particular? I Could repost a version without the music.
