We were discussing how people are telling those who lost everything in the wildfires "It's just stuff." 💔

So true!

Love that! A great goal! ❤️

It sounds like you had a meaningful Christmas with your sons, even while feeling the absence of your other son. That mix of joy and grief is such a delicate balance, and it’s okay to take things one step at a time. Don’t stress about the decorations ... they’ll get done when you’re ready. Downsizing can definitely wait! I’d love for you to check out the cookbook when you’re ready -- hope it can make things a little easier for you. Sending you love and encouragement as you ease into the new year.

She died in a car accident. 💔

She was only 10 years old...

Thank you for watching and for your kind words! To find out if your son registered the business name, you can check with your state’s Secretary of State office or website. Most states have an online database where you can search for registered business names. You could also look for trademarks by searching the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s database. As for board members, it varies. Some are paid, while others volunteer their time because they’re passionate about the cause. Funding to pay people typically comes from grants, donations, sponsorships, or fundraising events. I’d recommend starting with small grants or reaching out to local organizations for support. I hope that helps, and best of luck with this meaningful work!

Awesome! I'm happy to share in the future. :)

The weight of grief, especially around his birthday and the holidays, is unimaginable, and it’s okay to feel that pain deeply. Thank you for your kind words-it means so much to know the videos are bringing you some comfort. Sending you love and strength .❤️

Thank you so much for your kind words. Three years in, you’re so right-every little step forward matters, even when it feels small. Sending hugs right back to you. 💞

((Hugs))

Thank you!

Thank you!!

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. Please know that you are worth keeping going for. Your story, your presence, and your life still matter, even when it doesn’t feel that way. ❤️

Grief can be so isolating, especially when it feels like others aren’t sharing the same depth of loss. It’s okay to feel more deeply or differently than your siblings ... your relationship with your mom was unique, just like your grief. ❤️

Thanks for watching! I agree, it’s fascinating how different cultures handle their grief. Indonesia is definitely hard to wrap my head around!

I’m so deeply sorry for your loss and everything you’re going through. Your strength shines through, even in the midst of so much pain and heartbreak. Please know it’s okay to feel lost-grief and injustice are so heavy to carry, especially alone. You don’t have to face this all by yourself. If you can, reach out to local organizations or churches that might offer support for your situation, even just someone to talk to. And please be gentle with yourself. Smiling or finding moments of light doesn’t mean you love or miss your son any less. You’re doing the best you can, and that’s enough. Sending you so much love, strength, and prayers for justice and peace. You’re not alone in this. ❤️

I’m so sorry for your loss and the loneliness you’re feeling. Grief is so heavy, especially when it feels like you’re carrying it alone. I’m glad this was helpful to you-take it one moment at a time, and know you’re stronger than you think. Sending love your way. ❤️

It’s true-we learn to live with it. Sending hugs. ❤️

Ted, first, let me just say how much your words hit me. I can feel the depth of your love for your wife in every detail you’ve shared-and also the weight of your grief. What you did with the decorations is something I think so many of us can relate to: trying to do something -- ANYTHING-- to cope with the ache of those memories. And crying on the way to the beach? That raw, messy, overwhelming pain… it’s all part of how much she mattered to you. It sounds like she was such a strong, loving force in your life. Grief is exhausting in a way nothing else can prepare us for. It steals your energy, your emotions, and sometimes even your tears. But that doesn’t mean you’re broken. It just means you’ve been carrying something unbelievably heavy. So be gentle with yourself as you move toward that one-year mark. You’re allowed to cry, not cry, or feel completely numb -- Whatever happens is okay. Grief has no rules, and it sure as hell doesn’t follow a schedule. Thank you for sharing your story. It’s messy, real, and full of love, and that’s what keeps her alive in your heart. You’re doing better than you think. ❤️

Thanks so much ... I did my best, haha. It's always difficult.

I’m so sorry for the loss of both your son and your daughter. The love you have for them shines through in every word, and the way you honor them, especially during such a bittersweet time like the holidays, is absolutely beautiful. I LOVE the way you include their initials on cards! It’s such a tender, meaningful gesture that keeps them present in a way that feels right to you. It’s these small, deeply personal practices that help us carry our loved ones forward while still navigating our grief. Your mix of holiday strategies resonates so much with me -- sometimes we need the connection and warmth of others. Other years, we need solitude. It’s wonderful that your friends and family understand and give you the space you need. That kind of support is invaluable!

Seriously-- the puffiest cheeks ever!! 😆

It totally fits! :)

I'm sending you so much love. You are in survival mode so just hang in there and rest as much as you can. ❤️💔

The thing about grief is that we should do whatever we need to do. Whatever feels right, go for it! ❤️

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing about your mom. Her birthday being on Christmas Eve must make this time of year especially hard, and I’m so glad my channel found you when you needed it. Sending you love and strength as you move into this new year while honoring her memory. ❤️

Thank you so much for your kind words, and I'm so very sorry for your loss. It means the world to me to know I’ve been part of your journey. Sending you love and strength as you keep moving forward. ❤️

I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing your daughter on Christmas Eve must make this time of year feel incredibly heavy, and it’s no wonder you’re feeling the grief so strongly again. Grief has a way of hitting us in waves, especially around anniversaries and holidays. Your love for her is so evident, and it’s okay to feel the weight of her absence. Be gentle with yourself and your other daughters as you navigate this together. Lean on each other, share memories, and let yourselves grieve in whatever way feels right. Sending you love and strength. ❤️

Letting go of “what was” and moving forward is such a hard but necessary part of grief, especially when the holidays hold so many memories. It’s a process, and it’s okay to take it one step at a time. Wishing you strength and peace as you continue to find your way forward. ❤️

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Losing your sweet Leo is an unimaginable pain, and I can feel the love you had for him in every word. The “what ifs” are so heavy, and they can make grief even harder to carry. Please know it’s okay to feel heartbroken and lost. Be gentle with yourself and lean on those who can support you. Sending you so much love and strength as you navigate this heartbreaking loss. ❤️

Same!! How did you do?

I'm so sorry about your son. Don't think about vacations yet -- you're in survival mode. Just eat, sleep, and keep breathing. Sending you so much strength. ❤️

@ thank you very much 💚💚

Thanks for watching! ❤️

Ugh -- yes, she was the heart of pretty much everything. ❤️
