  • First of all, sorry for shooting in portrait mode. I'm using my iPhone and I default to portrait for everything, without thinking about widescreen.
    This is the story of how my family died last year.
    TW: a lot of crying and talking about child death.
    It's 12 months on since it happened...I didn't know if I would make it to be honest. But I did. I'm here to tell the story.
    Thank you for watching.

    “People think that grief slowly gets smaller with time. In reality, grief stays the same size. But slowly life begins to grow bigger around it” - Dr Lois Tonkin

      Very true, you never forget or heal completely but learn how to live around it.

      Best explaination I ever heard was by a hospice nurse, grief is a giant red button that sits inside a box and that box is your everyday life. Whenever someone passes away, the box surrounding the button is very small and the button takes up a majority of the space inside. And every time that button gets pushed it causes a physical pain like an electrical shock. And someone releases a bouncy ball inside the box and shuts the door. So it bounces off the walls and hits that pain button a lot. But over time the box surrounding said pain button gets larger. The button never gets smaller, it is always the same size. The pain felt when the button pushes never diminishes, it feels the exact same level of pain that you felt the first time it was pushed. As you go through life and the box gets bigger the button gets hit by the bouncy ball less and less. But when it does, it is all consuming agony. It never gets less and the button never gets smaller. The worst part, you can’t see the bouncy ball, you have no warning when it’s going to hit the button. You simply just live your life, hoping beyond hope that the button doesn’t get hit by the bouncy ball. But you know it will eventually. Sometimes it happens backed to back and you have to deal with another shock of pain before you have recovered from the last hit. And then sometimes it doesn’t get hit for a long time but when it does, it still brings you to your knees just like the first time.” I hope that I explained that correctly.

    I listened to your whole story because I lost my baby daughter to homicide almost 5 years ago. There’s nothing I can say to comfort you, but I am sitting beside you and holding your hand while you stare at the gaping hole that used to be your life. We’re part of a club we didn’t ask to be in. I’m here. You’re not alone.

But darling girl, I will tell you that you are shining light through sharing your painfully tragic story. Tears flowed for your pain and for my own. My son is trying to help heal me through your story. Continue to find your light, your purpose, yourself. One day I hope you can find joy as well. ❤

Sending virtual hugs. 🦋🦋🦋 You know deep down inside he’s okay, but your heart and mind are in shock right now. You should watch videos on YT about NDE (Near death experiences.) That helped me a lot.

    I have done autopsies on probably somewhere close to a hundred children of various ages (I was a forensic pathologists assistant). I did my job with the greater care than I have done anything in my life for children. Adults I could handle, my mind justifying that they'd lived some life at least. I was still empathetic, but children are completely innocent in almost all circumstances. Those cases chipped away at me until I had a mental breakdown and couldn't take it anymore. I don't know how people spend their whole lives doing this sort of thing. Those who work with death are truly unsung hero's.
    This made me absolutely lose it. You and your family will forever be in my thoughts

The cruelty of your ex-husband is unfathomable. Know that those of us who experienced similar are sending the warmth of our love in hope that it will at least ease your pain and grief, even if it is just a bit.
      I lost a daughter, Chelsea, on April 4, 1987. The sane day that she was born. My daughter in law, who is pregnant, called and told me her due date is April 4. Her name will be Emma or Emily. ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🦋🦋

    I am sorry for your loss. I can relate. My wife, pregnant with what would have been our first child, died suddenly in an auto accident. She was just 27 years old and I was 30 at the time. I am 59 today and there is not a sun that has set since that I haven't thought of her and not a night that fell, crawling into my bed alone that I didn't long for her. I remember the way her hand felt in mine, the smell of her, they way she felt when we hugged and the way she made me feel being held by her. I remember how she lit up a room when she walked in, her infectious smile and contagious laughter. I remember how her long blonde curly hair disastrously turned into a fro at the first hints of humidity, lol. I remember she sometimes snorted when she laughed. But most of all, I remember how much she loved God and lived a life of selflessness. In all these years of hearing people say I had to move on and find love again, to that I say hogwash. I know what I'm worth and know what I deserve and it would be unfair of me to myself and any other woman because I could never fully give myself to knowing I will always be in love with the woman who awaits me in Heaven.

    Her painful agony slices like a thousand hot knives, a terrible grief. I made myself watch and witness knowing my acute discomfort is a shadow of her pain. It is hellish to know her experience. AND beautiful to learn that her LOVE for her child and Compassion for others and herself is quietly larger than this unimaginable kind of loss. It battles and balances the obscenity of her daughter's death. Her heart is punctured but Love , Light and Forgiveness pour out with the tears and sorrow. In the retelling the grief can be shared and love magnified. She does great honor to Oria's spirit and cracks open a doorway to a possible way forward carrying the burden of loss.

      Idk if this helps any, but the people you saved will forever be grateful to you. I wish I could find the paramedics who took care of me (multiple GSW's) and just hug them. They were also comforting me because my loved one passed in my arms while I was attempting to keep him alive till the medics got there. I still live with survivors guilt from that. But THANK YOU for your work as a paramedic. Paramedics and EMS are the calm and safety in the middle of the worst storm of your life. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your service. ❤

    Rachael, my daughter was killed by her ex-husband when she was 30, in 2016. Her child survived. I know exactly what you mean about the first year; everything is exquisitely painful. The grief never goes away nor does it necessarily lessen, but after the first year it changes from acute into chronic and the loss becomes part of who you are. From there you rebuild. As you are now.

    Rachel your story led me to absolute tears and breakdown. I’m so sorry for the pain you’re feeling and your loss. Both my parents (who were my best friends) have died in the past 2 years. I then lost my brother. The pain has been unbelievable. The only thing that’s kept me going are my daughters. I can’t, I absolutely can’t imagine the depth of your pain. When my father passed, I can relate to the noise you made when you saw your daughter. I cried and yelled so loud, I could probably be heard blocks away. The pain went so deep, it’s like half of my soul was ripped out of me. My dad and I had a special kind of soul tie in some way, we didn’t need to speak we just knew what the other needed at all times. Seeing your story, it makes me think about my daughters. I don’t know if I would have your strength, but there’s one thing I do know - God is with you, and Oria is as well. That drive you have to do good for others, that’s the Holy Spirit working in you. I feel that same feeling. All I want to do is help others, but I haven’t found my purpose yet. I wish I could take this pain from you, and I don’t even know you. We were blessed to have had such love in our lives, it’s horribly hard to lose that, especially at such a young age. I pray God gives you comfort and strength. Life sure is hard.. we just can’t let it concur us. No matter how hard it gets, be the best person you can be. You will see Oria again, that I’m confident about. Shortly before my dad passed, he told me he saw a woman sitting in the corner of the room with a rimmed hat and a dog. He knew she wasn’t real, but she appeared real. I know that was his sister. She always wore rimmed sun hats and loved her dogs more than anything. She died when she was in her 40s & I am positive that was her waiting to welcome my father. I’ve heard so many stories like that. Oria is in Gods hands, there’s not a better place she could be. Make her proud. Sending you hugs from the United States. ❤

      I think it just changed my life. How I do not know. I've been through tragedies and a hard life. It all made me who I am now but one malignant narcissist who took his life before I could bring up legal charges for things he had done to me and my family in just a few months of dating.
      He was so jealous that he would rudely stop me from praying 🤷🏻‍♀️
      I'm trying to find peace but it's not easy especially with all the hate, judgement and wicked things going on and sick people in the world.
      With everything I've been dragged through and lost loved ones etc
      THIS story moved me tonight to be more open to let peace and tranquility back into my life.
      To take care of my mental health and health in general.
      THIS woman's story moved me tonight.
      I'm watching the funeral service for Oria as I write this message to you.
      These videos popped up in my suggestions and I wholeheartedly believe she was godsent, it was meant to be. 🙏🏼

    I'm so, so sorry to hear your story and praying you find peace Rachael. My in-laws experienced something similar - they were driving their motorhome on a highway and a car coming the opposite way swerved and hit them head on, killing its driver (a divorced Dad), his two teenage kids, and a passenger instantly. They believe it was intentional. Fortunately my in-laws escaped with minor bumps and bruises, but they'll forever live with the terrible memory and guilt. It's so hard to make sense of these tragedies and the grief and harm it causes. Thank you for sharing your story; I know it wasn't easy, but know that you have so much support from others.

    I kept seeing a single stork fly over my house and I started looking up storks and it eventually led me here. I've had nightmares about losing a child and it felt like I was walking through mud the next day so I can't even imagine how difficult this is for you. I have a neighbor who lost her family to cancer and a car wreck. She told me she did everything to help them and one had a high survival rate and it still took her son and husband. She keeps very busy and I still watch her amazed at her. You putting one foot in front of the other making this video to reach people is shining your light. Life can get really painful and you love both of them and that's not in the past it's every day ❤ I hope your love and memory of them reaches all the people it was meant for and it touches and heals them. Ive certainly been touched by it thank you for sharing ❤ 🙏

    I’m so sorry for you loss. As a retired police chaplain and a domestic violence counselor. He wanted to control you and taking the thing you love the most was his way to abuse you, to make you feel the pain he felt losing you and his inability to control his own feelings. You won’t get over this loss, but you will get thru it. Life is changed, different now for you and in some way people that hear you story.
    May you find a new life, a life impossible without experiencing the love of a child lost. Love is an intangible, yet we all know it’s life changing power. All that love is still here, now.

      Was this guy the classic narcissist? He wasn’t just depressed. If he was, he would have put your daughter some place safe and then finished himself off. He succeeded in weaponizing a little toddler against you bc knew he was losing control of you. He was incapable of rational dialogue. This is the work of the Enemy. The light you have comes from God. Now is the time to turn to Jesus. I am happy for your soul to have found forgiveness in your heart because you will spare yourself the devastating effects of bitterness.

      ​@@radixdudette i think he might have been. This was about control. He was prepared to take the life of an innocent child just so he could destroy the life of his ex. I see there are people judging the mum but this isn't about her, its about the choice to destroy an innocent life. That is just the most vile, disgusting and unforgivable thing anyone can do. I don't care how much you hate your ex or want to ruin them, a child is NEVER a pawn for that. My father was /is a narcissist and behaved terribly towards me and my sister not because we had done anything wrong but because he knew it was the best way to destroy our mum and manipulate her into submission.. This is the most extreme escalation of that , a suicidal narc is the most terrifying jugganaut of revenge and quite dangerous. My father is a terrible human but his need for self preservation means he has limits.

      This was intentional not an accident or natural. Intentional. It's a sick parent that was selfish and hated the child and used that child to retaliate. That's what it's called. Mental illness...a narcissist who wanted attention so harmed daughter to hurt the mother. He controlled her and wants to torment her for life. Hopefully she remarries and builds a family with new beautiful memories. This teaches us to set boundaries with these men...and laws need to help women with those gut instincts to save the children so I'm they aren't victims.

Your head will always turn when a little voice says mom, when a child cries you want to kiss the boo-boo. When they lay on the floor, you give that mom the “it’s okay, it gets better” look.

    Do not stand at my grave and weep,
    I am not there, I do not sleep.
    I am a thousand winds that blow.
    I am the butterfly at your window 🦋 .
    I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
    I am the gentle autumn rain.
    When you wake in the morning hush,
    I am the swift, uplifting rush
    Of quiet birds in circling flight.
    I am the soft starlight at night.
    Do not stand at my grave and cry.
    I am not there, I did not die ❤
    Your daughter is with you ALWAYS, everywhere and anywhere you go❤❤❤

    Oh my gosh, you just popped up on my TH-cam feed and i had to watch. The pain i felt through your video is intense. I'm so incredibly sorry for your tragic loss...
    Back in 1999, one of my dad's closest friends lost his 7 month old grandson at the hands of the father. The father had planned it since before the baby was even born, all to get revenge on his wife. She wasn't able to attend his father's funeral because she was on a trip with her dying mother. So because of that, this disgusting man planned to marry her, get her pregnant, then planned how he would do it. I won't go into details. But it's truly sickening how children suffer because of a parent wanting revenge....
    I hope you get the comfort and peace you need, because you seem like the sweetest person who didn't deserve this. Sending my love and prayers 🫶🏻🫶🏻.

    I feel your pain. My 18 yr old son was killed in a car accident 16 years ago, my then oldest surviving son was 26 when he was a pedestrian killed by a driver high on fentanyl, 6 years ago. My mother passed away the day we buried him. Ive managed to go on in life and am at the point i can function, but i remember that moment when my first son passed 16 yrs ago, "i will truly never be happy again, for the rest of my life". In those years since, i remember my boys with a smile in my heart when i think of them & i try to do that as often as possible, more so than the times i still break down & cry. I wish you peace and strength on your journey...

      Im so terribly sorry and I know there’s nothing I can say to take the pain away. You give me hope to live if anything happened to my two boys. When my husband died (military fighter pilot) I was 3.5 months pregnant. I understood how people died from grief. It was so deep…and lasts forever. And that’s not the death of a child, let alone two. But here you are, giving complete strangers hope to go on, to live one more day….because you have…and I thank you for that. Sending huge virtual hugs. 🦋🦋🦋

    That he could do that deliberately is beyond horrific. To take your sweet baby girl’s life to what end? To spite you? I’m so angry but so filled with sorrow at the same time. I can’t properly express how sorry I am for your loss. I’m heartbroken.

      I think it's more complicated than spite. Somebody suffering with mental illness, is just that. Mentally ill. You can't see it like a lost limb. But mental health can deteriorate to the point it kills you. It's a horrifically tragic situation. One that that will be exponentially more involved than simple spite xx

      No it's because the person who commits suicide is so in pain themselves they can't even put it into words and they don't know how because they were not allowed to experience emotions or Express themselves and they were so stifled and destroyed in their own childhood, everyone carries their childhood stuff into adulthood without knowing they're doing it. And they're running on those subconscious programs. They want to offload their pain into another and they want someone else to connect with them and feel that level of pain that they think is so deep. The people that I know have committed suicide really do just want to get back to source energy, to creator, to the light...... so that they don't have to feel pain. And perhaps, since children are high vibrational light beings, just as animals are which is why animals and children connect so well... there are those who cannot be around children because they are authentic and transparent, and then there are those who want to engulf them, similar to the movie poltergeist. Suck their energy, so to speak. People are not thinking and coming from the headspace when they're in a lot of pain in their lives, they're running on programs that are programmed within the body for survival, to navigate and survive each day, even if they're not actually experiencing the same situation that they did in childhood, because they cannot see things with clarity, because of the childhood trauma and emotional neglect and abuse.
      You must always dig deep into someone else's childhood but we must always dig deep first into our own, and introspect and do our healing, in order to bring a healthy child into the world..... however most people's childhoods are traumatic, even if it is a parent that wasn't fully present, animated and engaged and encouraging and supportive, honoring and cherishing the child and setting them up for success, Uno's parents do their children such damage if they don't create their own joy and happiness in their own lives within themselves first..... so they're not draining and sucking from the children... and trauma abuse and neglect is often covert and families, parents especially😢 put on a show for the outside world. And then people minimize their trauma and neglect because they think it's no longer occurring in the physical world, but yet it has impacted them in so many subconscious ways, they cannot even imagine😢
