      People like you. They don't need you to pretend to be happy all the time. That's not what they fell in love with! They saw a kindred spirit, and your hope and strength. My advice:
      *Keep going.
      *Do another Ren interview, about mental health. You could do a series on it! And then write music cos of the muse that still finds a way to amuse you when life is bemusing!
      *Take lots of vitamin D.
      *Find a hug somewhere, cos I can't give you one from all the way here in England! 💖
      *Look up SAD (seasonal affective disorder)

      I don't have any and it's illegal to pick them in the UK, so I think you can only get them into your system legally if you go to a cow field in autumn and eat them off of the ground... Bit late for that. But vitamin D is good!

    Knox, I know how you feel. I lost my sister right before Halloween. She and I were the last people still alive from the family I was born into. Her son passed away from bone cancer when he was 31, and my sis never got over her loss. Now I am here alone. This is a whole 'nother level of loneliness. You do good, Knox, you really do. I understand the feelings, and the anxiety that creeps in at night. You'll be okay, I swear it, and so will I .

    Knox, dude... I love you man! It has to be said... What you have created here on this platform; the community you have built, the honest, insightful, Knox Hill certified, from the heart reactions and the music you create because of your love for music has meant that, those who appreciate those qualities and that kind of content have just naturally gravitated towards you.
    I personally found you through Ren reaction videos and I just loved your reactions! I've since watched a lot of other reactions and you just pick up on so much more it really makes me think with a more open mindset for everything. I also love the relationship you have formed with Ren through your love of music and the similarities of your journeys as independent artists.
    You and Ren, to me are cut from the same cloth. Your empathy towards others, your connection to your own emotions and your ability to be open and vulnerable, both through videos like this and the music you create, is a real inspiration to those who gravitate towards you Knox! It's a massive, unquantifiable comfort to know people like you are out there making the content you do and music independently because it means its 100% REAL and untainted by big corporate labels. Its true Knox Hill. That goes far deeper than just entertainment for me.
    So, I believe it should, and does go full circle Knox. As a fan of yours and Ren's, what your content has done for me personally and to the betterment of my outlook on life, I owe it to you to somehow pay it back!
    So, here goes... Remember Knox... You are only human. You are allowed to grieve and to struggle. You are allowed to rely on others when life gets too much. I missed the opportunity to see my Grandma the day before she passed of bowel cancer and it crushed me at the time. That was around 12yrs ago now, it was hard to take at the time but what I'm left with now is purely happy memories of time spent with my Grandma growing up. When the grief subsides, it gets easier because the happy memories remain so strong. At least that's my personal experience.
    I think as you get older, it does get easier. You've just had a triple whammy of grief so no wonder you are struggling Knox. Just remember to take time for yourself though Knox to grieve and to heal.
    Lastly... Keep being you man and keep doing what you're doing and when times get tough, don't hesitate to lean on us like this because we will always be here for you dude ✌

      Well said. I concur. I'd add to it: grief doesn't mean you're going back to depression. Grief is intense emotion you just have to go through. It's like an ocean, which goes over you, time and time again. But you're still on the beach, not in the ocean, let alone the ocean. From time to time, maybe when the wave goes back, try to feel the rock underneath, the rock you are sitting on. And feel yourself. Breathe. The rock will stay. You will stay. And when it is the time, the tide turns. It always does.
      But for now: just let the waves wash you. Eventually they carry your tears, so they become parts of that ocean. All humans have some of theirs in it.
      Sorry, cannot find right words now. I just send you a big hug, Knox. Give that time to yourself. ❤ And we don't need you to be always positive and have the power and whatever. Just be you.

    Dearest Knox, I am so glad that you have taken us into your trust to share this with us. Thank you for that. In us you have this massive extended family and so many of your followers including me have sent you so many virtual hugs and so much love. I have been through a lot of relentless stuff the last few years including two family deaths and being executor to both family members and something that is now helping me considerably to move out of negative morning thoughts is the realization that we can change our thoughts and help our situation in 17 seconds every morning. Its hard at first but once it gets going and you see it working in your life it really, really helps. For 17 seconds as soon as possible after waking sit by yourself and think of something that you would like to see in your life such as money or a team or money to pay for a team and all you have to do is imagine that is true for 17 seconds - Feel the feeling you would feel if it did happen. I have manifested amazing things doing this. I hope that helps you Knox and anyone else ❤

(Though they are brilliant and you surely have some special gift in hearing all the things and hidden treasures in music and lyrics). Maybe it is time to let the music just touch and heal you? Carry you and your sorrows. Maybe we as watchers wouldn't wait for you to always do it like you've done before, and have the strength to do so. Maybe just staying together in some emotions the music gives space to, is also valuable. ❤ There's times for this and times for that.

    I rarely comment. But this one got me. You are a good man Knox. I’m in my late 30’s and I get the stress of “everyone is counting on you, how do I grieve when everyone needs me to be the strong one?”
    You’ve got a stellar community, and I wish I could contribute more than just watching videos and sharing your songs. With that being said, I can say you’ve had a positive impact on my life as a “random internet stranger”. It’s okay to feel down and take a step back, heck maybe you can get some good songs out of the situation. And I’m not saying that in a mean way at all, music heals.
    My personal outlet is video games/streaming and it’s fun to interact with my community because I never put on an act. I am me, I’ll always be me. Maybe find a game to play? Hug the family you’ve got.
    I’m not going to give ya some Bulls*** reply like “it’ll all get better in the end” or something generic like that. Even the days when you’re just going through the motions; sometimes that’s all you CAN do. You’ve built a wonderful community and I know I can speak for others when I say “We got you, let us know what we can do”. I am in your discord even though I don’t talk much. But at the end of the day all I can say is “keep on, brotha. Hit me (us) up if ya need an outlet”.

      I'm a month away from turning 50, in the past 15 years I've lost some people very close that caused this statement to even hit harder than it did already. When your other family is counting on you, It feels like it's your time to push harder and fill that void they have. Meanwhile you never get a chance to grieve yourself. Next thing you know you're 50 and there are some close relatives that are having health issues while other younger siblings you can tell are not prepared in life yet. What do you do.... life goes by so fast.

    You're not alone, Knox.. being dealt blow after blow is very tough.. we all deal with loss and grief in our own way. Take your time with it.. I remember something your friend Ren stated, and I'm paraphrasing.. if you're angry, understand it, be with it, let it go, and give yourself love. In some cases, I have to believe we can replace keywords in what Ren said with words that fit for you, Knox.. Hugs to you and your family.

    I once read this and it really stuck with me- "There are three needs of the griever: To find the words for the loss, to say the words aloud, and to know that the words have been heard." Knox, I can't claim to know what you're going through, but I do want you to know that you've got people that both hear you & are here for you. I'm so sorry for your loss. ♡

    This may get loss in the wash, and you probably have many followers that feel this way too...but...
    I don't really have the biggest social group, and honestly, I probably have more people I follow daily on UA-cam than actual friends.
    We may have never met, but I watch a lot of your content. You are a constant in my life, more so than most.
    In that weird way, I could say you're a friend to me. As a friend, I get where you are coming from. But you need you time. We, as a community of followers, get that you feel the need to keep working to either distract or emote through these hard times. I'm at a loss of words for your loss. and now I'm fumbling for words. Greive the way you need to. We appreciate you. Take your time. My condolences.

    Knox, First off, my condolences to you and your family. I am sorry for your losses. I am telling you what I have told my young Soldiers over the years, "No matter what happens, you have to stay alive, live for yourself and your family." That must be at the forefront of your mind. You have to live, you can overcome the grief, but you must live above everything else. Don't fear taking the time you need to heal and to process things. If you don't already, start an excerise routine, it helps 30-50 minutes a day should be enough. Therapy can also help out as well.
    God bless, I am praying for you and your family.
