    Grief is like the ocean; it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim.

    Oh my Goodness Kieryn, please be kind to yourself. It’s still raw and it won’t go away soon, everyday will be better. We all grieve differently and you were certainly very close to your mother, it will take time…one day at a time. Much love to you ❤️

    We will all lose our parents. My dad was sudden & when I was your age. My mom 25 years later. My wish for you is that you come to a point where you can remember your mom with joy and laughter. It really is a blessing to have had such a wonderful mom.

    What helped me was realizing my mom has not disappeared, but living with our Lord. I gave so much of her things to the friends of the library and they used it for crafts for the kids and adults! Grief will get a little better every day...just a little better. I donated lots of things because I knew it would make her happy! May God Bless you and guide you.

    I just want to give you a hug and let you know you aren't alone.
    I once heard someone say that the grief we feel is all the leftover love that we still have to give and it really helped make sense to me on why it can be so overwhelming at times. Be gentle with yourself 💜

    Yes it comes and goes on a daily basis. It will take time not to feel mournful in an ongoing way. You're right about how hard it is. You, like me, were close to your mother so it's going to take time. Try to take one day at a time and if you have to go through hard days right now, it will get better. It will never go away from my experience but it will get better.♥💐

    I joined your channel about a week ago. First, I am so very sorry for the loss of your Mom. It is hard when we lose our parents. Give yourself some grace and know that it will get better in time. I know it's hard to believe, but time does heal.
    My husband and my Mom were both diagnosed with cancer within weeks of each other back in November 2016. In addition to cancer, a 4" mass was found in the middle of my Mom's heart, and that had to be dealt with before she could start any cancer treatment, except for radiation. I went with both of them to every appointment, treatment, test, scan, hospital admission, etc. Neither was going to be by themselves for anything. And I live with CRPS and feel like I'm being struck by lightning 24/7 since Sept. 2009. So that made things more difficult for me. My husband passed away 9 months later on 8/14/2017. I wouldn't allow myself to grieve his loss fully cause I still had to get my Mom through her treatments and do for her what she could no longer do. She also had 2 cats, and I still had 1 dog left at my house. My husband also died in our living room ,....so that adds to the trauma of his death as well. My Mom made it another 15 months before she passed on 1/4/2019. I was responsible for the contents of her house and getting the house sold. What helped me with her things was telling myself that I had no room at my house for things. I couldn't or wouldn't wear her clothes and shoes. I did keep a few things that were hers, but not a lot. Most of her things got donated cause I couldn't do a garage sale first because of Covid. It was just as Covid shut everything down. I couldn't bring myself to find a new home for her cats, so I brought them to my house. My dog was great with them. 1 cat was good with the dog right from the start. The other 1 came around in about a month. Then, just days before the 2nd anniversary of my husband's death, my dog was diagnosed with cancer. His life started horrible. He was part of a 400 dog puppy mill. When it was raided and the dogs were rescued, the vet guessed that he was 3-5 years old. So, because of that and finances cause I'm disabled, I was not going to put him thru cancer treatment. I thought I would get a couple more months with him, maybe. That wasn't to be either. 3 days after his diagnosis, I had to put him down due to having many seizures over the weekend. So now it's me and the 2 cats.
    I look for signs from both. They knew that I believed and would be waiting for signs from each of them. I have received quite a few from both. I still have my days where I cry or am angry. But they were so sick and so miserable at the end. I know they're in a better place and not sick or suffering anymore....and that helps the most. I talk to them as if they're still around, I hope they hear what I'm saying. Plus, they both said don't be sad and stop doing what I can just cause they're not with me physically. I know they're with me still, just in a different way.
    Sending you hugs and prayers. If you want to talk....I'm always available.

    My mom passed away in 2007, then my dad in 2019. Dad passing was so hard, suddenly I felt like an orphan since no parents. I also had 8 half siblings and no I have 2 left. One sister passed away a little over a week ago. I’m the youngest. Grief is so hard and you just have to pass through it to get to living differently without those people or those pets in our lives. Hugs

    May God's comfort enfold you in these, your moments of sorrow. We all walk the journey of grief in our own unique way. Yours is yours, perfect just for you, so don't doubt whatever you are needing right now.
    I can only offer that for me, a good, hard, sincere cry whenever I need it, helps me to keep on going. Sometimes it's a quick 2 minutes in the car before I go into work, and other times it's 2 hours at home at 2am while I'm sorting through buttons, photos, and hand written notes. For me, those tears are kind of like washing/cleansing my heart, to allow me to... keep on going on. I know exactly what you mean about needing to touch and go through everything. Do it slowly, a little at a time, step by step. You are in my thoughts and prayers. And in those quite moments when you're missing her lots, remember that it's because you loved each other lots❤

    My mom died too in 2019. I had her car in the driveway and a month ago I had the tow truck come and take it away. The tow truck driver was a young women. She was so kind!! She hugged me me while I was crying. Seeing the old car roll down the road was very sad. I have gone through very hard times giving her things away. I still have her phone messages on my phone too. I know it is very hard to give their things away. I still have many of her things. Still after 5 years I have a day when I see an old lady that looks like her and I get very sad. I know exactly how you feel. As time goes on things get a little better each day.

Everybody's grief journey is different and I can tell you from my own experience is never ending...I lost my Brother In Law very tragically 2 years ago and to this day I still have those days when I just cry. Please take care of you and Sean and your little Family that is what will get you through those hard days....thank you for sharing your vulnerable moments with us, you are very brave. Watching your videos helps me so much as I suffer from a lot of the same mental health battles as you do. Please share at your own comfort and in your own time. Take care sweetie ❤️

    When my Mother passed away, I didn't cry at all. Four months after that, my oldest sister passed away , but still couldn't cry. Five months after that, my nephew passed away
    He was only 25. His death hit me the hardest and finally I cried every day.
    I believe that God held all my tears for that moment where I could mourn all three at once. I can only tell you that healing takes time. I thank you for sharing. In a way, your pain helped me open up about mine. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I hope to see you creating soon

    Oh girl im so so sorry your going through thism i know i gave my condolences before but i wish you the best. Grief is never easy some days are good some days are bad and you never know what your body is going to decide to do. But what you can do is take it one step at a time. Don't overwhelm yourself with organizing your moms stuff i know that's going to be the hardest thing to do and very emotional. So don't rush it do it when your ready to and a little at a time. Yesterday was a bad day for me. I lost my cousin/daughter ut was just 6 years yesterday. She was my cousin but like a daughter to me because i helped raise her and ger sister and was always babysitting them and just always with them. She was only 20 years young and had cancer. Yesterday i was literally in bed ALL day and just cried ALL day. I haven't broke down like that in a very long time. Sometimes we just need to give ourselves that grieving time even if it means to just cry our eyes out till we feel better. We can't beat ourselves up for having these days its bot something unfortunately we can control. Just take it easy and be easy on yourself girl. Give that doggie lots of cuddles and you two will help each get through it. I wish you the best stay strong you got this.

  • @gypsyclothco

    So much support going to you. I lost my siblings and dont have my parents in my life. I still have days where everything hits me, where I think they will call, I make myself believe it is not real. I will say that days like that have gotten further and further apart. I went through a grief therapy at my church, I found a really good life coach, and I started journaling. If I need to cry, I do. But I don't let myself stay there. The more you move, exercise, get with friends, and do things that you enjoy....the more comfort, strength, and support that you will feel. My heart goes out to you and I am so sorry.

Grief stinks and just when you think your good, oh it creeps up on you. I have a shed with a lot of my dad’s stuff still, he passed in 2021, little by little I can work through it. Hold and rock that little girl doggie she’s grieving too. ❤ sending lots of love and hugs.

    I wish I could give you a hug! I lost my Mom almost 20 years ago. My best friend we shopped together spent hours on the phone, numerous times a day. We lived 2 hours apart. In a year our last son was born, my mom had open heart surgery, my brother at 45 had a heart attack, mom was diagnosed with cancer, from the time she walked into the hospital to the time she passed away at Hospice House was 7 weeks. It gets easier. But, the pain is still there. When my Dad passed away we took his elderly dog. We found puppy pee pads. Best thing ever. She always used them and I didn’t have to run after her. Walmart and Amazon had the best prices. You’re in my prayers.

    I am so sorry for your loss… I was shocked! Please just remember to let it out, don’t let anyone and I mean ANYONE tell you how or when your grief should end. As long as you are not hurting yourself or shutting the people in your life out time will pass and each day your heart will heal a little bit more and you’ll learn to go on. It is still early on to part with your moms things and that’s okay. Please rest assured, you will get through this kiddo, especially since she is there with you and where she couldn’t be with you all the time when she was in this life, she now is spiritually with you all the time… Don’t be afraid to speak out to her, she is there…🙏🏼🕊️🙏🏼💔

    Each of us handle grief differently..I lost my Mom 35 yrs ago..still hurts. I have some of her stuff but not alot. My husband kept all his Mom's stuff In a rented storage unit..cost him alot of money to hang on to it. We moved 3 yrs ago and he let it go to an auction but kept all her pictures and stuff. It sits in boxes he never looks at. You need to get rid of your excess baggage...I had an invisible backpack I carried for years..I finally put it in a closet and asked God to help me with my anxiety and problems. I feel so much better since then. I suffer with panic attacks and anxiety issues..I hope you take medication for it...also there is a non-medication I get thru Amazon..that works to help with anxiety...Rescue Me Passtilles..they were doctor recommended and really help to settle me. It will hurt to get rid of your Mom's stuff but hanging on to it hurts too. Give the dog a piece of your Mom's clothing to sleep with. Take care.

    @Thrifted Living, first, I want to give you my condolences for the loss of your mother. Second, I want to inform you that your mother is in a better place and at peace next to God. She wouldn't want to see you crying and depressed; she wants to see you happy and full of life. I know it's not easy when we lose a loved one, especially a mother who has been there for us. She'll always be with you, and all her memories are within you. So every time you embark on your weight loss journey, just think of the moments when both of you came up with the recipe. Say, "Mom, what are we going to make today?" Just visualize her there with you and imagine what she would come up with. While you sort through her stuff, remember that she left you a wonderful treasure. Sort and organize it, give what you're not going to use to those in need, and use the rest. When making UA-cam content, try to visualize your mother next to you, smiling at you. Trust me, it will get easier with time, but don't drown yourself in sorrows because it's not good for you, and she won't be able to rest in peace seeing her baby all broken up. I'll pray for you and your family so you can move on and be at peace. My stepdad passed away, and it hit me hard, but I came to learn that we have to let them go because they are not suffering like we are unless they are in hell. But we must pray for them so they can go to Heaven. I'm at peace now, and just remember the good times we had together, and I always pray that he's in Heaven. Cheer up and stay in prayer always. God Bless 🙌 🙏

    My mom passed almost 6 years ago, I still miss her terribly. I lost my brother last year also to cancer. It doesn't get easier but you'll get through it.

    We understand but you need to go out with your dog go hiking, go window shopping, go to the beach. In short help yourself to stand up and move on, your love ones didn't left you they're just within your heart. Therefore take care with your heart don't stress your heart ♥.
    Do something...go gardening, rearrange your furnitures, place live plants inside your house, change curtains, repaint furnitures. Do you think your love ones would be happy if your sad? Do you think their souls would be at peace if they watch up above that you're lonesome?

    Don't beat yourself up for the grief, they say the harder you grieve the harder you loved...
    I'm so sorry sweetie, I lost my aunt and dad in 2012, my mum in 2014 and my brother in 2016... Sometimes it feels like you're just getting back up when the universe kicks you right back down again...
    Grief is a strange beast, you can toughen yourself up, manage to get through the details, paperwork, funeral etc... but then one day you see a flower, like you said see her car, smell her perfume, read a book and see their name, hear a snippet of their favourite music and its that proverbial kick in the nuts that blindsides you and brings you to your knees.
    After my mum passed i went to see the final Harry Potter movie, i had ro go alone as my husband wouldn't go, he literally replied "ewww no! Why would I?" (he apologised afterwards for realising why I'd asked him). But as soon as the music started and the WB logo came on screen i just broke, id seen every movie in the series with her and it hit me that she would never see the end... She read all the books, but she'd not see this final movie.
    I felt SOOOOOO stupid, I dashed from the screen room, slid down the wall i leant on and just sat and sobbed, i literally almost threw up. One of the staff was literally my angel. We'd seen this young man everytime we went and he said he knew something was wrong because i wasn't with my husband and it was HP so my mum was missing, when he saw me break, he said it felt like a punch in the heart and he said "i just knew"
    I stayed with him in the staff room until my husband arrived, he brought another family member to take my car home and he drove me home... That movie was 2yo nefore i ever watched it... I just couldn't, which is so stupid and illogical, but i couldn't do it.
    Sometimes i still get caught off guard... Its been 10years and i hear something, see somethingmor smell something... And im back there in the deep end of grief and it hits like a tsunami.
    My folks house was in my village, so id pass the house going home. I'd see the bedroom lights on in the night and wonder why she's awake, is she ill? Im cooking something and need her advice and i reach for my phone.
    My mum had a bloody annoying (but sweet) habit... If it snowed and she woke in the night, she'd call me like a kid and do that sing songy voice saying "It's snnnooooowwwwwiiiiinnnngg!!". Now if i nip to the loo and see snow outside i think "i saw it first! I'm calling that bugger!" Then i realise i can't.
    She also called me if she saw in the TV Guide that my Favourite band was on TV, I usually knew because ... The internet... lol, then i'd see a clip on TV Showing them and id call her and say "im already watching!"
    Those are the moments that still hit...
    1 piece of advice i have, if you have any recordings of your mum, or voicemails... Get BACKUPS and then get tge backups and make another BACKUP...
    I have no video of my mum, she despised cameras, so i dont have that many pics. But i had 2 voicemails, 1 was just a silly "only me, call me back when you get home" i told her a million times the phone literally told me it was her, but she just laughed & waved it off.
    BUT... My stupid darn phone bricked... I couldn't access anything. I thought them lost forever... My husband is an IT Manager and he managed to find my old messages werenon my phone's cloud and he recorded them for me... They're now on my phone, my table, my laptop, my craftroom laptop, his pc, his laptop and 6... Yes i said SIX (lol) memory sticks all in different locations around the house. But OTT but im not having that thought i lost them ever again.
    Be kind to yourself sweetie, grief is hard. It has no rules. It has no rhyme or reason, don't feel guilty when it hits, take some time and breathe...
    You can take a little time from point counting, but remember she's still in your heart, still supporting you and doing WW with you, if you find a good new recipe, tell her! Why you try it, tell her just like you would if she was there, was it good, was it bad, would she love it or is it meh.
    I also started a journal of "letters" to my mum. It got me into my craftroom to make the pages pretty for her, i do mine in HER style, her colours, her flowers etc... but if i needed a chat with her, i write a letter... Its strange but i often swear i hear her comments as though she is reading it. I still tell her about stuff i thrifted, i tell her about stuff she'd have bought. Its not at all formal. Its only between me and my mum, so i have entries like "found this super cute sweater in the thrift store today, almost bought it but it was the itchiest scritchiest yarn ever!"
    Stay strong my lovely, be kind to yourself, dont feel guilty or embarrassed, EVERYBODY has lost someone at some point... and never forget, you have a lovely thrift & craft community right HERE!
    We are here with you and here for you... What's the use of a big ole craftroom without a bunch of us working it it, chatting, sharing and giving each other support... You brought us all together here, and most of us will not turn away because you're not lil miss ray of sunshine.
    It has to rain from time to time or there will be now flowers...
    Sending you massive hugs from Yorkshire., England 💜💜💜

    My heart is with you today. I hope the sun flowers you back to blooming soon. I know grief. She visits me daily and I have moments when I just can't. I have bouts of crying and remembering. I remind myself it's okay and to breathe. So breathe, remember, and then get distracted.

    I know what you’re going through. I lost my dad on November 23, 2023 Thanksgiving at 10:35 at night and it’s been hard. I am executor of his estate and the oldest of seven and I’ve been going through pure hell from brothers and sisters, they don’t understand my mom passed three years before dad never took her name off of anything so I have to deal with all that too. So I do sympathize with you

    Your mom will always be with you no matter where you are or what you’re doing. It’s so hard in the beginning when losing a loved one, especially your mom. In time, you will find joy in making those recipes and remembering the things she taught you and the things she made with her sewing. It’s hard and it’s ok to give yourself grace. It will get easier to let things go in time and you’ll be able to find joy in the items you keep.
    I love your videos and your creative view. Don’t ever stop being you.
    Try to keep your routine flowing. That will also help you heal. Your mom would not want you mopping around being miserable long term. Your mom was very and is very important to you. You’ll find ways to make her part of your daily life as you move forward. It might be a thought, a recipe, a tv show, or some other special thing but it will get easier to find the joy. Hang in there. Hugs xx💕

When you reach your weight goal, she will be there to celebrate with you. All humans have a journey which sadly means leaving,.Be kind to yourself. Much love🤗🇬🇧
