    Just lost my longest and closest friend three days ago. He was too young. I did this yesterday and today and today I had tears falling down my face. He is an amazing person and I will be living the rest of my life through him to make him proud. I will never forget him.
    I hope everyone else listening to this has the strength to pull themselves through these troubling times. Don’t be afraid to become vulnerable and talk to others. It greatly helped me last night.

      Everything will be alright. Dont lose hope. Have hope even if u dont feel hopeful, and even if u cant see any hope, just striving to want to have hope will help u. God and love will give u hope. Keep thinking about how happy and at peace u will feel soon in the future, think about freedom and how freedom would feel. Think about love and how it feels. Think about how many happy, and loving, memories u will have in ur future. Keep looking up to the heavens above. Because someone up there believes in you. Someone up there knows every single thing ur thinking and going through, and wants u to be happy and free. Someone up there knows you very well because he made you. He made you to be strong. He put YOU in this body, and in these shoes, and in this life, and on this Earth, and in this society, because he knew you were strong enough to live it. To live through it. We all have a baby inside us, a baby called innocence and is also the person we were meant to be (loving, kind, and selfless human beings) what God intended us to be. And we are that spirit, that little baby crying and curled up in a ball. Even the sinners, even the most evilest and sick minded people, and even the good and loving people, and even the holiest people, have that little baby inside them. Thats why God had died for our sins, thats why jesus went up on that cross and died for us, to save the sinners, the good people, and the evil people, because he has compassion for the babies inside us all. Some of our innocence is corrupted, some of us let the evilness in the world attack that baby of good inside us and causes us to be cold and mean, some sheild it with all our might trying to hold on, and some of us dont have todo much too because we know God is sheilding us, but we MUST keep that alive. Keep the love in our hearts, and the goodness of our souls. Because all of those hurt people, and sinners out there are suffering, the demons are attacking them everyday. Keep hope.

    This is a great meditation :) also to anyone reading this. Pls don’t ever get the feeling of your problem not being „important enough“ or something. When i was scrolling through the comments and saw all of this people who lost a loves one recently, my problem being a breakup seemed unimportant. But everyone has an own fight so don’t ever feel like some things that make you sad are not worth talking about or playing a big role in your life

      Agreed, grief is grief, loss is loss. It happens in many ways, shapes and forms.
      Processing the grief and loss is important and it's okay to have pain.
      In the animated series Midnight Gospel (last episode) they speak of grief and the main character asks 'does opening your heart always hurts?' and other character responds with 'not always but when it cracks open it hurts'. Later on the other character mentions: if you look into the grief and the pain, what you will find is... love. It's all love.

    I lost my grandma yesterday. I still don’t know how to feel about it. I loved her dearly and it still feels so surreal. I can still hear her voice and her smile. She practically raised my siblings and I while our parents worked multiple jobs to provide for us. We didn’t always have the best relationship but once I became an adult I realized how much she did and cared for us. I didn’t tell her I loved her enough. I didn’t visit enough

    I don't know how to sit with the feeling without hearing the STORY on full volume.

I started going to mass again and shed tears there every time as I miss her there particularly at the sign of peace. I am doing this meditation because I think I need to actively do things like this to get in touch with the grief 🙏

My family and I are crushed, we've never cried so much but thankfully he died at home in my mom's arms and we were able to say goodbye. Sadly my brother is abroad and he couldn't see him, but we'll get his ashes and wait for him to come home to say a final goodbye. He was the best dog anyone could ask for and so very loved.

    Thank you for this. It has been so helpful to calm my panic attacks and extreme grief waves . My soulmate unexpectedly passed and I miss my husband so much at times I feel it might kill me. He died young and left me and the children behind. He loved us so much. More than anyone could ever love. He was the kindest and gentlest soul, loved his family and would do anything for us.
    I am so overwhelmed with so many emotions. This helps to center me. I’ve been using it as needed since the first week after he passed and it’s helped save me. It’s been 4 months and it’s getting easier but the pain is still there always. And some days I really need this, it can feel like I’ve regressed and gone back to the day he left us. This is so calm and gentle and helps me to be kind to myself. Thank you again ❤

      That's terrible but I hope you're doing better now. I watched my father die from cancer 2 years ago and it was the worst experience of my life. He suffered over 6 months or so, but the final 2 weeks, the deterioration was so quick.
      It's crazy how much suffering there is in life and yet so much joy and happiness. It's a strange juxtaposition to me. Instead of constantly cycling through those traumatic memories, I picture my dad in his happiest moments, in particular, the ones I shared with him. It's a better way to keep his memory going and it makes the pain of him being gone, not so painful.
      You can also practice loving-kindness towards yourself and parents. You can find those practices on the channel. I found them helpful for myself. Keep looking forward and keeping living with purpose and life, do it for your parents.

      I'm so sorry for your loss I'm praying for God to comfort your heart and give you peace. I lost my Levi June 18th he was my emotional support dog and my best friend it has gotten easier but the waves still come. Please don't compare your loss to others just because yours weighed less. That's not fair to you or your pain

    Its been 7 months since my dog died. It is the most terrible loss I have ever experienced. I had him for 14 years and loved him so much. He helped me feel at ease whenever I felt scared, he protected me when I was ill and he comforted me whenever I felt sad. It may just be a dog to most people, but I loved him more than 95% of the people I know. I want to know if we did the right thing, if he understood how much I loved him, if he loved me too, if he’s happy and at peace up there… the only thing I want is to be with him, but I know I’ll have to wait until it’s my time.

      @@neremy_ It does get better, but it took a long time. I did took a few months for me to feel a little better and accept the death of my dog. The first few months were terrible. I felt numb and I lost all interest in my hobbies and even in life itself. I just didn't see the point in living when I realised that almost everyone that means so much to me will die before I do. I never tried to killed to kill myself though, but I did have the feeling that if something were to happen to me, that I would not do my best to survive. Luckily it never came to that. I also did not want to put my parents through such a misery. I should mention that I do not have those dark feelings anymore :)..
      It has now been almost 19 months since my dog died and most of the time I feel perfectly fine. I am able to think of all the good memories of my dog and I don't feel numb or sad anymore. However, sometimes (like once a month or so) I will suddenly feel a bit down. Then it will feel like a stone is on my stomach and i get this aching feeling near my heart. That is when I know... I miss my dog. I will eventually cry.. a lot... But its usually just one evening that I will feel this intense loss and sadness and then it will pass. The next day I will feel perfectly fine again.
      So in short, it does get better.. but it is never completely over I think.
      PS: I actually got a tattoo that resembles my dog. Its like an outline of him from the side on my leg, so it is like he is always walking next to me :)

    I am truly sorry for all your losses of loved ones. May we go on gracefully in their honor. I wish you Strength and peace.
    I lost my Mother in February this year 2021, and I’m grieving and missing her so much. We are four siblings who love her deeply.
    She was a wonderful human being, beautiful, kind, compassionate, loving, generous, funny, always had a good word for anyone. Her name is Rodica.
    At her funeral so many people came (despite corona, and everyone was safe) and mostly young ones.
    I received signs from her when she passed, her soul went into electricity conductors causing black outs, turned on the lights in the Christmas tree, and she visited me in my dreams and spent time with me, giving me her love, that i need still and forever will.
    I am not afraid of death anymore, but happy that when the time will be, i will reunite with the greatest love i’ve ever felt.
    Thank you for this meditation🙏🏻 i sent it to my brothers as well.

The way I’m grieving the loss of most good or comforting things and people in my life right now. 5 years straight of constant loss and suffering. I have to let this sadness out of my body or I’ll get extremely sick again. Just no clue how. 🥺

    My family is alive but it’s as if they are not. They are almost completely uninvolved in my and my children’s lives. It’s weird to grieve something that is here physically. This helped remind me all I can do is accept what is and that I can only control myself. When I reach out as I did recently and all I hear is crickets I know I reached out and tried to connect in a positive way and that’s all I can control. I need to accept the lack of response and move on. Thank you for helping me move on with my day. This recording and your voice is perfect! Thank you!!

      I came across your comment at the grief of love ones post here on TH-cam. ☹️That’s so touching and I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all loss our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I truly understand how you feel cos I’ve felt same unbearable experiences before but death is just inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday, and every of our love ones we’ve loss will always want to see us happy again wherever they’re. I loss my oldest daughter Annabel February 24th 2020 in a crucial car accident, and she just turned 22 on her last birthday before she got knocked down by a moving vehicle 🚗 and so unlucky for me that horrible day the driver was drunk. That was the worst and most lamenting day of my whole life as a single Dad raising two kid's, my 17 years old son Clark and my 4 legged 🐶 families are my everything and the reason I still keep strong, and keep going! My late wife passed away three years ago from a shocking disease, I felt devastated with grief, and I was so heartbroken 💔 but God and time are indeed the best healers. Hope you’ve found peace, comfort and happiness again?
      I'd love to talk to you more if you don't mind! So it would be nice to get a reply from you when you got time okay. 🌹🌹
