    Sorry to hear about your Dad, Elle. Cancer sucks! My dad died May 4th. I wasn't allowed to go visit him. Then the funeral home kept him for over 2 weeks. It was horrible. Seems we have a common heartache right now. My dad passed just a couple of minutes after I talked to him on the phone.I was lucky to have it and will cherish that call. My Dads voice sounded slow and tired but he was still happy and chatting about strawberries...then he was gone..My Mom died of cancer in 99 I was cradling her head...tough to watch something you love so much slip away ...sending you a Big hug. :) I know how tough this is. Oh yea, Father's day....double hug.

    So sorry to hear about your father's passing, I send you my condolences. This pandemic has been an awful experience, especially for those experiencing loss, my grandpa has been in and out of hospital and my boyfriend of 3 years broke up with me yesterday. Nobody I know has passed but I send you hugs and hope you heal from your grieving xxx

    Oh Elle. This is a lot. Take your time to grief. Take your time to go to those dark places. It’s not fun, but those dark places will become less and less as you face them. Yes you have many who care about you even though we have never met you. But we still understand stand the pain. Take care of yourself. Losing a loved one is not easy. And don’t let anyone expect anything from you unless you are ready. You will always find support. Some days will be more difficult. And on those days reach out. Let others know how you are feeling as long as you are comfortable with it.

    I am deeply sorry. I lost my mother unexpectedly at the end of March, just as quarantine and self isolation were taking place. It has been the hardest time in my life and it doesn't help that I barely had a chance to say goodbye and had to grieve in isolation, without family close by for fear of getting them sick. You couldn't have funerals or memorials to remember your loved one with those who knew them. It is just all truly truly awful. I hope you can do what you can to take care of yourself. I'm sending you so much love and good thoughts. 💗

    I lost my dad 11 years ago to a heart attack in the middle of the night. I was 19, he was only 55. I miss him so much. I’m sending you a bunch of love. In my experience, you will receive little signs of him saying hello in dreams, or maybe hearing a random song on the radio that will make you feel comforted. He is with you always, I truly believe that. Again, my deepest condolences. I know what you’re going through, you are not alone and you and your family are in my heart right now 💜

    I am absolutely sorry for your loss. My I just loss my dad in Nov, Black Friday actually. My dad found his cancer Oct 2015, had surgery and was in remission until they found it again, Oct 2019 , exactly 4 yrs later, but it was too late. He passed at home 8 weeks later on hospice. It was the most stressful and devastating thing I’ve been through. It’s changed me forever. It’s been almost 7 months, and I still don’t feel like I’m close to being me. For me, it hasn’t gotten much easier, I think about him all day, it’s still hurts, I still cry, but I’m learning how to keep going. Be patient with yourself, give yourself time to grieve. And while I know it’s incredibly hard, try not to feel guilty for doing things for yourself or when you laugh again for the first time. My dad wanted me to keep going and be happy and I know your wonderful dad would want the same for you. Hang in there, Sending you lots of hugs💕

    I m so sorry for your loss... I knew something was wrong... Take your time, do what you feel, write everything now if you want, because for me I forgot a lot of details for my dad... Since the loss of my father, I m doing all he learned to me, but something in me is broken inside, and I don't speak about him, it s too hard, just remember good things for my daughter, but the deep inside my heart is private... Rest, cry, scream in the woods, sleep, hug your mother..
    I m so sorry for you... Your Sophie from Paris France

    I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my dad very unexpectedly in May too and hadn’t seen him in months because of the pandemic since I lived on the opposite side of America. I know it was going to be the hardest thing I’ve ever been through, but the pandemic and the logistics of having something resembling a funeral made it far worse than I could’ve ever imagined.

  • @edwardsjarje

    My deepest condolences for the loss of your father. The loss of a parent is a seismic event, no matter how old you are. I’m glad you’re surrounded by people that love you. Celebrate his life for as long and as often as you need to. This first year without him will be hard. I promise it does even out.

      Writing this as I'm still watching your video and I understand about wanting to talk to your dad. I'm the same, with my dad's brain injury he just doesn't understand what's going on and gets frustrated as he will forget everything within 1-5 minutes 😢

    So, so so sorry about the loss of your Father. I cried with you....the pain comes in weird waves and you're never the same but if it's any consolation, he's with you always in your heart and mind. I talk to mine aloud frequently, it's been many years for me...he was my world and I still miss him every day. Do whatever makes you happy or calms you! We'll be here for whatever you want to film!

    I'm so sorry. I've lost both of my parents--my dad first (a complete shock, from a heart attack on the day he retired), then my mom not quite two years later THEN my stepdad a few months later. Through all that grief and loss, I was fortunate to have my extended family and dear friends to support me. I feel for you going through this when you can't have people physically with you. Sending you prayers for comfort and healing.

    @IndigobluBeauty 4 роки тому +2

    I’m tearing up for you and my heart goes out to you and your family. I’m SO GLAD you were able to be with him - you and your mom. I lost my dad almost 7 yrs ago to cancer and the hospice nurse called my brother and couldn’t get a hold of him and no one called me...he died with the hospice nurse, no family and this hurts me to this day. I don’t know if you celebrate Father’s Day in Canada but HFD to him. It will always hurt and little things you think of will have you bawling. Make sure to take his birthday and death day off from work (I find myself thinking I’ll be fine and a cloud comes over me on my dad’s bday, which was just this past Tuesday the 16th). I lost my mother in 2019 but we were all with her and surrounding her - it calms me to know we were all there - kids, grandkids, friends and her pastor. Hugs hugs and more hugs Hun... you are not alone💖💜

    I'm glad you got to see him at the end, and I hope that the memories will start to ache a little less ❤️

    Oh Elle, this is heartbreaking, I'm so sorry for everything... The stories you hear these days about covid making such heartbreaking situationa even worse are unbelievable. Try to focus on the positive things in your life and have in mind that the 1st year is the absolute worse. It becomes better in the 2nd year and slowly the daily pain fades away and small moments remain to remind you of your loss. Take your time if you need it, or make any videos you want and can and if it makes you feel better, we'll take either. Sending a virtual hug from accross the world, sweetie!

    I’m so sorry for your loss that’s horrific especially during this awful pandemic. I know many people who couldn’t even be with their family members in their last hours even, during this pandemic, so heartbreaking. Such a horrible way to lose your loved one, it’s hard enough as it is.
    What really makes me mad is my knowledge having family members working in a hospital and finding out it was happening in many hospitals & nursing homes in the US that they were being very negligent in them and putting covid patients on the same floors and amongst cancer patients and elderly...while their own family members couldn’t even visit cause the hospital was worried they’d bring it in all the while they really had covid patients already around others with weakened immune systems.

But it never goes away. It is so unfair. The pandemic restrictions rub salt I am sure. I am so sorry for your loss and for the loss you will feel going forward. Much love to you.

    Elle.
    Your video resonates so much with me. I lost my mom a few years ago , right before Mother’s Day. Now i hate Mother’s Day , and Mother’s Day commercials. Weird for my family as I have 2 kids.
    I experienced the same with not realizing she was that sick. She was also in and out of hospital for a few years and always made it, I think it desensitized me. And it makes me angry that we never get a warning. I feel like the nurses and doctors know it’s close to the end but they lie right to our face with not knowing. About 2 days before my mom died, I went to the nurses station and begged them to tell me the truth. About my mom. It was so silent as they awkwardly looked at each other. No one did give me any insight. She died within 18 hours. If I had known that visit would have been the end I would have stayed at her bedside.
    I can’t imagine dealing with Covid restrictions on top of all that 😢
    I’m so sorry, Elle.

  • @mald379

Please take care of yourself and surround yourself with people who are good to you and understanding, even if its over a phone call or text message. I'm not going to lie, the pain will be there for a long while, but eventually going on with your life and living normally is possible. Sending love.

    I lost my dad suddenly at about your same age (in 2003) and then my mom 5 years later to lung cancer. With my dad, no one saw it coming so I didn’t see him or talk to him. Anyway, it’s been over 15 years and I’m still grieving the loss of my dad. I have a voicemail of him singing happy birthday to me and it’s a prize possession. Just return to life and learn a new normal because you won’t ever get past this loss and that’s ok.

    Elle I am so sorry for the loss of your father. My son passed away on May 3, 2016. I understand what i mean about how they’re there and then they’re not. My son waited until we were in a meaningless conversation he took a deep breath and he was gone.
    My son died the Tuesday before Mother’s Day and today is Father’s Day and I think about my grandson, the mother doesn’t let me see him, and how he will never spend a Father’s Day with my son that he will be able to remember. I’m so grateful they did get one together and it was a good day despite his others attempt to ruin it.
    The brain does so many strange things when u are grieving. I am a reader so I looked to books to help me navigate grieving my son. I wasn’t able to read for very long at a time and I had to re-read quite a bit but eventually I was able to process the information. After about 6 months of reading only books on grieving I was finally able to put them down and return to my favorite authors. My son loved to be read to. He was an auditory learner and at the height of his ADHD it was the only way he could learn. The book I was reading to him before he passed is still in the car.
    My heart breaks for you and your family especially with the added circumstance of the pandemic.
    Much love and light and I believe our loved ones know we are there whether they can show it or not. I have to. Happy Father’s Day to your dad and my son who will always be with us in spirit.

    I am so sorry for your loss. I had to race home from work to see my mom. I was the one with her when she died. It’s as if she waited for me (she was unconscious). I bet he knew on some level you were there and waited for you. ❤️

    I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Losing a parent is so hard because they've always been there. Just take it minute to minute and let yourself feel what you feel. I hope you find some comfort in your memories of your dad. Hugs from Michigan.

    I understand and sympathize completely. I lost my father June 3 . He contracted covid-19 in his nursing home (where they had been on lockdown since early March) . The last time I saw him was late Feburary. After 11 days in the hospital, complications of the infection caused my Dad to go into cardiac arrest. Suddenly, he passed after being told that he was doing well. We couldn't even have a funeral , but we will as soon as possible. Take care of yourself. xoxo

    I'm so very sorry for your loss. You've been through what is most people's worst nightmare and only made harder by the pandemic. The beautiful soul of a daughter your father raised is his legacy and he must have been so proud of you. My deepest condolences, and my thoughts are with you and your family, especially today. Take care of yourself and each other ❤

    This was really hard just to listen to, and I can't imagine actually experiencing it. I am so sorry for your loss and the circumstances it happened in. I have a relative with heart failure right now and I just wish we could go comfort them and their partner during this time. I'm sending you love. ❤❤❤❤❤

    I haven't been able to watch this until now because I lost my father last year and just didn't know if I could get through it. You have my deepest sympathy; the pandemic complicates the grieving process so terribly.

    My condolences on losing your Dad. This could not have been easy. I’m so sorry for your loss. Father’s Day is hard. You get through the grief but it comes in waves. Over time, it feels less like a tsunami.
    When you are ready, the channel will be here. You are allowed to have fun. Sending zen hugs.

    “Oh Daddy
    If I could make you see
    If there's been a fool around
    It's got to be me
    Yes, it's got to me
    Why are you right when I'm so wrong
    I'm so weak but you're so strong
    Everything you do is just alright
    And I can't walk away from you
    Baby, if I tried” I know you know where this is from. ❤️❤️❤️ he’s still with you! It’s just in a different way now. I’m so happy you had such a good connection with your father.

    Elle, how wonderful to hear about your father. You are so generous to have shared your deep grief with us and to be so vulnerable. I am so so sorry. I wish you many bright spots along the crazy, heavy trudge of loss - I loved hearing about him and how proud he was of you. Yeah, apologies to both you and your father for this US President. I look forward to hearing more stories about him; he sounded like such a proud dad and he must have loved you very much!! 💘💘 How could he not?! 😊
