Kelly-I’m so glad you and the girls are healing but please consider joining a church family. God loves you very much. You need someone to lift you up and pray for you daily when you don’t have the strength. I have enjoyed your videos for several years and will continue to support you. Said with love and prayers.
It's hard to move forward. Everyone is different. I wish I could be more positive. I lost my brother at 17, I was 16. I lost the love of my life, my mom and my dad. It's been horrific for me because now I have lost everyone who really loved me. It's hard for me to know that they are gone. I have become angry and backwards. I am 63 now and on my own. I have spinal fusion in my neck and also lower back surgery leaving me with nerve damage affecting all 4 limbs. Typing this to you kills me all the way up to my ears. Life ain't easy. I am proud of you girls for trudging on. Keep on going.
You are a great mother!!! Remember that. For you to recognize what is needed for your family to heal and make it happen is beyond. It is not easy when you are going through the trauma all together. You are doing the right thing. Continued prayers for you, the girls and the doodles. Safe travels and continued healing to you all
I’m so proud of you! Always remember to let your faith be bigger than your fears ❤ you’re a warrior, a goddess with an army behind you 💪🏽 wishing you and your family peace love light and healing ❤️🩹
I am so proud of you! I think you are going to be fine and able to compartmentalize your grief to keep on going. You will carry Ray with you always until you see him again. Bless you and your girls! Remember, your life is about you and not about those who want to bring you down! Much love!
Can't tell you how proud of you I am. The girls as well. But you are absolutely doing the right thing for all of you. Praying for peace healing and comfort. This trip is the best thing for all 3 of you and your Fur babies . Still in disbelief that anyone could have done the things they did to you and your family. I'm so sorry Kelly. May God continue to watch over and strengthen you and the girls bodies and souls. Much love and positivity coming your way 🙏🤗🙏💓💕💞
We lost our oldest son in 2019 after fighting brain cancer. I have used the treatment you are taking about, and it was a HUGE benefit. I hope you have the same positive response as I did. I lost my husband in June 2023. He had dementia, fell twice, broke a hip each time, and the tapping has helped with the shock of how badly dementia really is to a person, and their spouse. Best of luck to you.
You go girl!! Take the time to heal. Those who love you will understand and support you and those who don’t--you don’t need them. Peace, love and strength to you.🥰👍🏻
You said it Kelly...showing the girls what you can get thru. Being a mother is hard despite the ages of our children even when they are grown. Our examples are seen by them when we don't think they are watching. So proud of you!! Just know you always have cheerleaders in your corner. Have a safe trip! Looking forward to your update! 🌞
Sometimes life is just so hard. You have really been going through one thing after another. My favorite line from the Bible got me through dark times…”Sorrow endureth the night, but joy cometh in the morning”. I pray your morning comes soon. ❤️🙏❤️
That is a good explanation, Kelly. I am a survivor of childhood trauma. It is a bit different for everyone and every experience. Be kind to others because no matter what you see, every person has some struggle. Truly. I have seen so much brokenness in this world. It's so much easier to be kind, than to fix broken people.
That’s great Kelly!! My daughter did this in her therapy & this really helped her deal with her trauma. I pray that this new therapy will help you as well. Praying for you & the girls every day Sweets 💋💗
Oh Kelly. How I needed you tonight. I was just torturing myself looking at pictures of my mom and nephew *sigh* I still feel so broken. I appreciate you so very much. Your talks and wisdom touch me deeply. Chin up my friend your amazing 💜
Kelly. You have to know the truth. Time does not heal all wounds. It just makes you learn to live with the grief of trauma or living with the loss if a loved one. That is healing. God gives you beauty for ashes and oil of joy for mourning.
You have a whole bunch of caring and loving friends out here for you. We hold you in our hearts and continued prayers. Please enjoy your trip with your girls and doodles.❤❤❤
I have had a therapist for years. I’m not ashamed anymore to tell people. My entire life growing up has resurfaced since I hit menopause. It’s been very brutal but I’m at a good place now. I’m so glad you are on this journey to heal along with the girls. I’m praying for all of you!
Kelly we are so happy for you and the girls for the steps you guys are taking to heal. We continue to pray for you guys and you are doing the right things for you and the girls❤❤❤❤❤
Tysvm for this i know im a little late watching it but as i always say God places people and things in our paths at the exact time we need to come across everything....and i didn't need it when you added it to ur channel i needed it today! But i also always tell my kids and loved ones that WE ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN CHOOSE WHAT KIND OF DAY/ATTITUDE we are going to have each day nobody else can do that except yourself....
My mom took us on a road trip after my dad's suicide years ago, and I had EMDR during my divorce, and I believe I came out stronger on the other side. It's amazing how trauma can stack up and weigh you down! You do what you have to do for you and your family. No explanations are necessary. Prayers and hugs ❤❤❤!
EMDR therapy has gotten me through (and has begun to heal me from) some of my worst trauma, and I feel truly relieved from the emotional weight I’ve carried for over 40 years for the first time. Sending you big hugs and positivity on this journey you and your girls are on. The freedom waiting on the other side for you will make the process so worth it ❤️
Kelly - who can be negative or toxic to you all? 💔 I don’t understand people. You have a community that loves you. Enjoy the rest of your trip. You’re amazing!🙏❤️
We have a saying here about us southern women... mothing is impossible for a southern woman unless our nail polish is wet and even then we can pull a trigger if need be! I deem you an honorary southern girl!!! There is nothing you can't do whether it's driving an RV across country or making something out of an alien 😂 God will always get you through! And if you find yourselves with no destination in mind head to our neck of the woods... E. Tennessee is God's country. Good food, good people and gorgeous views. The Smokey Mountains change you. Safe travels and God's with you.
Go for it Kelly. I needed to get away from an emotionally abusive ex husband. Fortunately I was a teacher with needed skills for teaching Special Ed. I applied and got accepted and I moved overseas to Europe to teach. I learned so much stuff and I was not near him. So it went from him and his 2nd wife dumping everything on me in the cruelest way possible. With me gone, they turned on each other and their marriage went to hell in a hand basket. I had nothing to do with that, I just removed myself from their grasp. And I always wanted to teach overseas and I spent the next 16 years living a life full of adventure. Remember, “Living Well is the Best Revenge.” Why because you do not need revenge you are living your best life, and it pisses off the people who want to hurt you. Stay strong.
You are setting a strong healthy example for the girls. One day at a time. Do whatever you need to do. Ray is saying in heaven "way to go guys" Blessings and safe travels. Have fun.
I wish you weren’t having to deal with all this sh&t! You are such a kind , caring person. I pray you find healing and peace on this journey ❤️ your girls are so lucky to have such an amazing Mom!
I’m sure Ray is watching over you and your girls and he is so proud of his Momma!! One day at a time Kelly!! Big hugs to you and your girls. Prayers for healing. 🙏🙏🙏
I am so happy to see you traveling and focusing on healing for you and the girls. I am excited to hear how your EMDR therapy goes. I have heard others talk about it. I have experienced a lot of tragedy and after 40 years I still carry the pain. I absolutely believe in cutting toxic people from your life. I have done that twice and don't regret it.
I’ve been through really hard times before. You can get through this. Slowly the fog will lift. God really is going through your valley with you and your family.
I agree with you about trauma. After 5 years of different kinds of trauma, but finally in the past month, I finally am getting the help I needed, panic attacks are almost none-existencet. God , prayers & some very good people are making a world of difference.
Kelly, just remember Ray is always with you and the girls, he watching over you 3 from heaven above! After my dad passed away, I went over to my daughter's house to get my 2 grandson's {20 mins away from her}, on our way back to my house, we ran into a thunderstorm, it was wicked, my car wanted to pull over to the shoulder of the road and I could feel my dad pushing the car back into the lane, I was so thankful that he was there with us... and I was never so happy to be back home. Angels are always with you!
I understand what she's saying about trauma. It leaves a mark. Kevin Zadai on YT is a Bible teacher and he has some good videos on it. Life events can trigger the old trauma.
EMDR literally saved my LIFE!! It’s difficult at first, but once you do it - your brain changes and oh my gosh, it’s like the best kept secret!! I promise that once you start it, it will change your life for the better ❤❤
Kelly. I’m so glad to see you and the girls. Have moved to find your all freedom you all need right now. You all have definitely been thru a lot it trauma issues. Since Ray’. ❤ sending you all positive vibes & energy. You all have got this. And I’m glad you are getting all ur well needed time with the girls. And enjoying everyday together. ❤❤❤ much love to you and Kayla and Allison. Yall are amazing family and Kelly your a wonderful Mother!!!
So happy for you of recognizing the areas of your life that you need help and obtaining it, a huge win! All the best to you and your girls as all of you work towards your healing process.
As a PTSD survivor and continues to suffer... I can relate ❤ I pretty much lost a year of my life due to the last one 😢.. I want to encourage you to keep on keeping on.. I watch your videos and sometimes cry with you 💘
I’m glad to hear y’all are beginning the healing process. Lots of people in the in the comments have their opinions on what you should do, and it appears to me that they think their way is the only way. That is not true. Whatever works for you is what you need. I encourage you to go to that Counselor and work with her through that process. Good luck and keep us updated!
I watched your last video, where you told us that you decided to take yourself and the girls on a road trip. I happened to be on vacation myself and watched the video on my phone but could not comment. I am so happy for you all on this journey and praying this is everything you all need. You should be proud of yourself traveling in an RV and setting it up on your own with the girls. That is awesome. Enjoy the rest of your trip and make some new happy memories. Have a wonderful time.
So good to hear that you are doing positive things for yourself and your girls. So many people try to bury their trauma and act like it doesn’t exist which of course, only makes things so much worse. You are the Queen of working at keeping things positive. Keeping you and your girls in my prayers, hugs to you all! 💕🥰💕🤗
Hi Kelly, You and the girls have been hit with and had to endure a lot of trauma. I'll continue to pray for you and the girls healing. You and the girls are on a very positive and healthy journey. Prayers for God's healing through EMDR(eye movement desenatation and repossessing) theray.
EMDR is amazing. It really has helped me move forward. And the therapist I am working with now is amazing to work with for me. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Let go and Let God! I lost 3 years of memory after my husband's tragic accident. I will most likely never regain that time. It takes time to heal. God is good and prayers for all of you. ❤❤❤
I witnessed my husband/kids dads car accident that took his life... and I also only have very faint memories of our days together before that to be honest as awful as it sounds n i feel horrible admitting it but hopefully me admitting it will help someone else but for the longest time I couldn't even remember our marriage date i still feel like an awful person just please know ur not alone but the brain and body is an AMAZING thing if you really think about how it works and why it does it...... praying for you hun! ❤❤
I'm so happy you and the girls found something to help you heal. You'll have days that are harder. Grief has no time limit. I also just started emdr with my therapist a few weeks ago. I hope that you put your best effort in and truly believe in this. It's honestly helping and I pray it helps you too. Good Luck beautiful to you and the girls. ❤
Kelly, I so appreciate you and what you have to say and you hit everything you said spot on. I feel you are so intelligent and totally know what you are talking about as I know you have experienced. I pray for you and your family and wish you all the best in whatever you take on. Love your brave soul. be safe always. RC❤❤
Sweet lady, just a little note to say. I'm praying for you and your girls. The road to heal is not easy. But it's worth it. For yourself and your family. Enjoy your trip with your beautiful girls. ❤❤❤
So glad you and the girls are safe and healthy. Healing is a slow process. Take your time. We will always be here for you. Sending you lots of love and hugs.
Kelly we love you, so many people do. We serve a mighty God... a God who loves you and wants to help you. All you haft to do is ask him, ask him to help you day by day. We will continue to pray and lift you up. May God give you strength and peace today and everyday. ❤
Thank you for posting today because I needed to hear you! ❤ Because of you, I’m going to get a therapist for my trauma. 😢 I’ve been through a lot of the same things you’ve been through and I can totally relate. I’m so glad you decided to leave town and just quiet all the noise and toxicity in your life. You’re doing a great job, my friend.❤🥰🫶🏼
Metaphorically your road trip is the pathway to healing. It is a journey of rough patches, curves and seemingly an up hill battle. But soon you will come out where you want to be. I wish you all the best. Thank you for sharing.
Life is hard at times, I know the older I get, the harder things become for me. We all have to have our own time. What you have gone through this year is tragic. You are doing amazing well. Enjoy your trip and love to all of you ❤❤❤❤
You never get over a loss of a loved one but one day you will learn to live with it. When grieving you can’t rush it. It takes a long time. It will get better but there will be relapses. You are doing amazing 💕
Oh Sweet Kelly! I don’t think anyone but you could’ve said everything in this video with the clarity, eloquence, meaning, and purpose as you have. It touched my heart in a deep way having gone through something similar and getting stuck until I found the right therapist for me. It does show strength and courage not weakness to seek out help when needed. And it isn’t selfish at all to see that your own physical, emotional, psychologic, and spiritual needs are being nourished and refreshed. I am happy for you and the girls doing this and I’m proud of you for your renewed confidence and how you are caring for your daughters through this time. So much love to you Road Trip Gals!!! ❤♥️💗💗
I’m so proud of you Kelly. You are doing what I can’t do. I’ve been praying for you and the girls. Praying for your protection and praying for God’s Peace to fill you up. Lots of hugs for all 3 of you. Safe travels.😊❤
Thank you for being so transparent!! This is a wonderful help for all foing through emotional and physical trauma. May God Bless you and your girls! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and journey🤗
So proud of you Kelly! It was a great idea for you and the girls to take a trip. You pulled yourself out of your comfort zone! You’re gaining your confidence back and getting new experiences. God bless you and your girls! 💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏
You always leave me with in a state of Awe.... your messages are heartfelt and genuine. I don't know who's being horrible to you, but I'm glad that you have the strength to take care of yourself and your girls. I'm keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. ❤
It still blows my mind that people can be so evil to you after what you've been through. They must be very unhappy people that need to bring someone else down. I just don't get it. Praying for your family to heal 🙏❤️
EMDR is a VERY effective therapy technique the military has been using for quite some time! My partner benefitted greatly from it! God bless you and your girls! I pray you find peace through this therapy! I’m confident you will! And, GOOD JOB DRIVING YOUR MOTORHOME!!! I have not yet gathered the courage to drive ours! One day, though!! 😂❤❤❤
As a ptsd vet, I can say that this is an incredible therapy. I have used it myself with great success. I use hand buzzers as I don't like anyone's finger wagging in my face, but it works with both options (maybe more). If anyone reading this is contemplating it, please look up images of CT scans showing before and after EMDR. The best advice is to get someone with experience. This works! I am so happy for you to have found this. You can look ahead to days when this is manageable. Godspeed. and love.
I’m a long time psych nurse and I knew you were going to say EMDR. I really hope it works for you. I’ve seen good results from it. It’s not for everyone. I had a patient who had childhood trauma and developed a very good protective coping skill and wasn’t a candidate for example. But my best friend had great results! I’m wishing you best of luck and continue to do the hard work to get on track. ❣️🙂↔️
EMDR has been much more productive for me than traditional therapy. I’ve had the same therapist for over 10 years, off and on, and we’ve been using EMDR for the past two years and I’ve noticed a huge improvement ❤ You got this, you know what to do and you’re doing it, and stay at your own pace! ❤
I have been through EMDR! It's wonderful. It's very hard, but worth every headache and tear. I'm happy you have found it. We'll see our old Kelly in the future. Hugs.
I had a feeling you weren’t eating. I’m so happy things are turning around and getting better. I think the treatment is going to help because you always give it your all. Wow…just wow!! What an amazing person you are!!❤ you never cease to amaze me!
glad you are all feeling a bit better. remember, people can only hurt you IF YOU LET THEM. DO NOT allow them to do this. second, Imagine an empty room. nothing there, not even furniture. THAT is how many people you should listen to their negative comments, that you should worry about what they say. NONE. you take care of you, and those girls. you have to begin to live again. and you are, baby steps. hugs dear.
Kelly, so amazing to see the actions you and the girls standing up and moving forward. Removing yourself from situations that cause pain, stress, or emotional trauma is the best idea. Removal of situations and people that continually attack is a necessary action. In reference to driving an RV, yes your fear or stress at the beginning at this time in your life is normal. Was not the Kelly you know and love, but that Kelly showed up and look at you guys out there on the road. Your “normal Kelly” as changed life does it to you, sometimes over time, sometimes with a slap in the face, she my have changed but at the end of the day she has changed to be stronger, more loving, more compassionate Kelly. Let your Kelly can building that pathway and in time her amazing strength will shine again with a brighter light because now you and the girls have a naming guardian angel with his wing wrapped around you to continue and honor Ray by living an amazing, fulfilled life that all of you are so proud of. Ray’s time here was short, but his impact will last a lifetime. Make yourself proud, and in return Ray’s life will become so much more. God bless you and the girls. Take this time to be on solid ground. When you head home have the peace within to believe you all have the strength to move forward. And be damned to the haters. And by the way we are all waiting for the diy’er to be back. Love you❤and the girls. HAVE LOADS AND LOADS OF FUN. y’all deserve it, you truly do
Amen! I did in my hour of need….wanting to end my life! I called out to God, well actually shouted at God! He heard my cries 😢❤ ✝️🙏🏼❤️ I’ve never looked back! It’s the best thing I’ve ever done! He hears our prayers! Turn to Jesus Christ Kelly you won’t regret it I promise you! You don’t need to attend a church to call out to God, just mean everything you say from your heart. He knows our hurts and is waiting for us to open our hearts to him. I love you Kelly and want you to know about Jesus . He is the one to talk to. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. God bless you all in Jesus precious name Amen 🙏🏼 ❤✝️❤️🥰😘
Pray 🙏🏼 to Jesus ..plead his blood over you and your family. You just have to believe he was born of a Virgin. That he is the Son of God.. Ask forgiveness for Forsake your sins. ❤He inhabits our praise.It's easy to love and praise the lord and he will love and Will love you back loves you Weather you love him or not. Just read your king James version Bible the others.They take the blood out. When I got saved , I was headed to the mental institution or hell.i Have peace and if I ever come up against something, I can't handle.I just start reach ing for God's love and he brings me through it.❤
Look at you…reaching out to help others in your journey to healing😊…sounds like you’re halfway there already…just know this is a process…sometimes two steps forward and one step back..there’s no timetable to this,..just live in the moment, be grateful for the small things as well as big. I promise you that there’ll be a day when you and your girls will wake up lighter in your spirits and will have joy again. Just trust in the Lord..He’s got all our backs!😊❤️🙏
I had mentioned in a comment on one of your videos how it has helped me to listen to you talk of your son's cancer and your feelings and allow me to cry along with you as my husband was battling his. I recently lost him after his courageous fight. I now find myself watching you and seeing how you have dealt with your loss and you let me know that we can feel weak but that eventually we can get through it. I guess what I want you to know is that you are, in your own way, helping me and probably others get through some tough times and I want to say thank you.
I would totally run to you and hug you all right now. I relate so much and applaud your bravery!!! I am so proud of you!! So happy for this light we can see in your eyes. You got this Kelly!! I am old enough to be your mom and I am fighting a very similar fight. Thank you for your wisdom I hope and pray I can grab some of your strength--I will be pressing rewind and re-watching these videos again and again!! Love and hugs to you all!!
Sending hugs and prayers for continued healing. Life can be very tuff and sometimes overwhelming. You are so real about everything you and the girls are going through. So glad this trip has been what you needed. Hope this new therapy you are talking about is helpful. Safe travels from Washington state❤❤
Kelly, there is no one that can help you more than God! He can give you strength, peace , and courage! He created you and loves you so much!💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻
Well Said! ❤️
I AGREE...
Amen 🙏
Saved Me. Amen🙏
Me too!
He will never leave nor forsake you! Continued prayers for you and your family Kelly.
Kelly-I’m so glad you and the girls are healing but please consider joining a church family. God loves you very much. You need someone to lift you up and pray for you daily when you don’t have the strength. I have enjoyed your videos for several years and will continue to support you. Said with love and prayers.
So happy this trip is turning out to be exactly what you needed it to be. Praying for peace and healing for you and your girls.
It's hard to move forward. Everyone is different. I wish I could be more positive. I lost my brother at 17, I was 16. I lost the love of my life, my mom and my dad. It's been horrific for me because now I have lost everyone who really loved me. It's hard for me to know that they are gone. I have become angry and backwards. I am 63 now and on my own.

40 year Psych nurse here. EMDR is very beneficial for many people, I’ve seen great results! ❤

You got this girl. Just remember that no one matters but you and your children 💖

Trauma can cause trouble with your immune system and that can cause health problems. Take care of yourself and your family first.
Kelly and girls, enjoy the trip, enjoy making memories and most of all enjoy each other. Prayers and safe travels from Texas!
Go for it Kelly. I needed to get away from an emotionally abusive ex husband. Fortunately I was a teacher with needed skills for teaching Special Ed. I applied and got accepted and I moved overseas to Europe to teach. I learned so much stuff and I was not near him. So it went from him and his 2nd wife dumping everything on me in the cruelest way possible. With me gone, they turned on each other and their marriage went to hell in a hand basket. I had nothing to do with that, I just removed myself from their grasp. And I always wanted to teach overseas and I spent the next 16 years living a life full of adventure. Remember, “Living Well is the Best Revenge.” Why because you do not need revenge you are living your best life, and it pisses off the people who want to hurt you. Stay strong.
You are setting a strong healthy example for the girls. One day at a time. Do whatever you need to do. Ray is saying in heaven "way to go guys" Blessings and safe travels. Have fun.
I wish you weren’t having to deal with all this sh&t! You are such a kind , caring person. I pray you find healing and peace on this journey ❤️ your girls are so lucky to have such an amazing Mom!
I’m sure Ray is watching over you and your girls and he is so proud of his Momma!! One day at a time Kelly!! Big hugs to you and your girls. Prayers for healing. 🙏🙏🙏
I am so happy to see you traveling and focusing on healing for you and the girls. I am excited to hear how your EMDR therapy goes. I have heard others talk about it. I have experienced a lot of tragedy and after 40 years I still carry the pain. I absolutely believe in cutting toxic people from your life. I have done that twice and don't regret it.
I’ve been through really hard times before. You can get through this. Slowly the fog will lift. God really is going through your valley with you and your family.
I agree with you about trauma. After 5 years of different kinds of trauma, but finally in the past month, I finally am getting the help I needed, panic attacks are almost none-existencet. God , prayers & some very good people are making a world of difference.
Thank you, Kelly! You are such an inspiration to us all! 💪❤
Kelly, just remember Ray is always with you and the girls, he watching over you 3 from heaven above!
After my dad passed away, I went over to my daughter's house to get my 2 grandson's {20 mins away from her},
on our way back to my house, we ran into a thunderstorm, it was wicked, my car wanted to pull over to the shoulder
of the road and I could feel my dad pushing the car back into the lane, I was so thankful that he was there with us...
and I was never so happy to be back home. Angels are always with you!
I understand what she's saying about trauma. It leaves a mark. Kevin Zadai on YT is a Bible teacher and he has some good videos on it. Life events can trigger the old trauma.
EMDR literally saved my LIFE!! It’s difficult at first, but once you do it - your brain changes and oh my gosh, it’s like the best kept secret!! I promise that once you start it, it will change your life for the better ❤❤
Kelly. I’m so glad to see you and the girls. Have moved to find your all freedom you all need right now. You all have definitely been thru a lot it trauma issues. Since Ray’. ❤ sending you all positive vibes & energy. You all have got this. And I’m glad you are getting all ur well needed time with the girls. And enjoying everyday together. ❤❤❤ much love to you and Kayla and Allison. Yall are amazing family and Kelly your a wonderful Mother!!!
So happy for you of recognizing the areas of your life that you need help and obtaining it, a huge win! All the best to you and your girls as all of you work towards your healing process.
As a PTSD survivor and continues to suffer... I can relate ❤ I pretty much lost a year of my life due to the last one 😢.. I want to encourage you to keep on keeping on.. I watch your videos and sometimes cry with you 💘
I’m just leaving a comment for the algorithm. I’m so happy that you and your daughters are healing. ❤️🩹
I’m glad to hear y’all are beginning the healing process. Lots of people in the in the comments have their opinions on what you should do, and it appears to me that they think their way is the only way. That is not true. Whatever works for you is what you need. I encourage you to go to that Counselor and work with her through that process. Good luck and keep us updated!
I watched your last video, where you told us that you decided to take yourself and the girls on a road trip. I happened to be on vacation myself and watched the video on my phone but could not comment. I am so happy for you all on this journey and praying this is everything you all need. You should be proud of yourself traveling in an RV and setting it up on your own with the girls. That is awesome. Enjoy the rest of your trip and make some new happy memories. Have a wonderful time.
So good to hear that you are doing positive things for yourself and your girls. So many people try to bury their trauma and act like it doesn’t exist which of course, only makes things so much worse. You are the Queen of working at keeping things positive. Keeping you and your girls in my prayers, hugs to you all! 💕🥰💕🤗
Hi Kelly, You and the girls have been hit with and had to endure a lot of trauma. I'll continue to pray for you and the girls healing. You and the girls are on a very positive and healthy journey. Prayers for God's healing through EMDR(eye movement desenatation and repossessing) theray.
EMDR is amazing. It really has helped me move forward. And the therapist I am working with now is amazing to work with for me. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Let go and Let God! I lost 3 years of memory after my husband's tragic accident. I will most likely never regain that time. It takes time to heal. God is good and prayers for all of you. ❤❤❤
I witnessed my husband/kids dads car accident that took his life... and I also only have very faint memories of our days together before that to be honest as awful as it sounds n i feel horrible admitting it but hopefully me admitting it will help someone else but for the longest time I couldn't even remember our marriage date i still feel like an awful person just please know ur not alone but the brain and body is an AMAZING thing if you really think about how it works and why it does it...... praying for you hun! ❤❤
Glad to hear you & the girls are doing better. Stay safe on the roads, we love you so much &are praying for better days ahead for your family.
Kelly I’m glad to hear you and the girls are regrouping, finding inner strength. Keeping you all in my prayers. 🙏❤️🙏❤️
I'm so happy you and the girls found something to help you heal. You'll have days that are harder. Grief has no time limit. I also just started emdr with my therapist a few weeks ago. I hope that you put your best effort in and truly believe in this. It's honestly helping and I pray it helps you too. Good Luck beautiful to you and the girls. ❤
Kelly, I so appreciate you and what you have to say and you hit everything you said spot on. I feel you are so intelligent and totally know what you are talking about as I know you have experienced. I pray for you and your family and wish you all the best in whatever you take on. Love your brave soul. be safe always. RC❤❤
Sweet lady, just a little note to say. I'm praying for you and your girls.
The road to heal is not easy. But it's worth it. For yourself and your family.
Enjoy your trip with your beautiful girls. ❤❤❤
Kelly I give you all my love, hugs, and prayers. You took a stand and are doing it! God Bless you and the girls. ❤️🙏🏻
I'm so glad that you & the girls are doing this trip. I will continue praying for all of you. Safe travels. 😊❤
So glad you and the girls are safe and healthy. Healing is a slow process. Take your time. We will always be here for you. Sending you lots of love and hugs.
Kelly we love you, so many people do. We serve a mighty God... a God who loves you and wants to help you. All you haft to do is ask him, ask him to help you day by day. We will continue to pray and lift you up. May God give you strength and peace today and everyday. ❤
Oh Kelly, I am so glad you are making progress. I am proud of you! Prayers for you and the girls.
Thank you for posting today because I needed to hear you! ❤ Because of you, I’m going to get a therapist for my trauma. 😢 I’ve been through a lot of the same things you’ve been through and I can totally relate. I’m so glad you decided to leave town and just quiet all the noise and toxicity in your life. You’re doing a great job, my friend.❤🥰🫶🏼
Kelly, peace, blessings, and God be with you. Wonderful video. Thank you.
I am so proud of you. You did not let your fear stop you. GIRL POWER ROCKS?!!!!
Metaphorically your road trip is the pathway to healing. It is a journey of rough patches, curves and seemingly an up hill battle. But soon you will come out where you want to be. I wish you all the best. Thank you for sharing.
Life is hard at times, I know the older I get, the harder things become for me. We all have to have our own time. What you have gone through this year is tragic. You are doing amazing well. Enjoy your trip and love to all of you ❤❤❤❤
So happy for you and the girls Kelly, on the road to healing, ♥♥ Love and hugssssssssss
You never get over a loss of a loved one but one day you will learn to live with it. When grieving you can’t rush it. It takes a long time. It will get better but there will be relapses. You are doing amazing 💕
Oh Sweet Kelly! I don’t think anyone but you could’ve said everything in this video with the clarity, eloquence, meaning, and purpose as you have. It touched my heart in a deep way having gone through something similar and getting stuck until I found the right therapist for me. It does show strength and courage not weakness to seek out help when needed. And it isn’t selfish at all to see that your own physical, emotional, psychologic, and spiritual needs are being nourished and refreshed. I am happy for you and the girls doing this and I’m proud of you for your renewed confidence and how you are caring for your daughters through this time. So much love to you Road Trip Gals!!! ❤♥️💗💗
I'm so proud of you taking an RV Road trip with the girls and giving yourselves time to heal. Prayers for safe trip & healing. ❤️🙏❤️
I’m so proud of you Kelly. You are doing what I can’t do. I’ve been praying for you and the girls. Praying for your protection and praying for God’s Peace to fill you up. Lots of hugs for all 3 of you. Safe travels.😊❤
Thank you for being so transparent!! This is a wonderful help for all foing through emotional and physical trauma. May God Bless you and your girls!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and journey🤗
So proud of you Kelly! It was a great idea for you and the girls to take a trip. You pulled yourself out of your comfort zone! You’re gaining your confidence back and getting new experiences. God bless you and your girls! 💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏
You always leave me with in a state of Awe.... your messages are heartfelt and genuine. I don't know who's being horrible to you, but I'm glad that you have the strength to take care of yourself and your girls. I'm keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. ❤
It still blows my mind that people can be so evil to you after what you've been through. They must be very unhappy people that need to bring someone else down. I just don't get it. Praying for your family to heal 🙏❤️
Prayers for You & Your Daughters Kelly. Have a Good Timevon Your Trip and Be Safe.🙏🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️✝️😇😇😇😇😇💐💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🧸😊♥️♥️♥️♥️. Love & Hugs to You All.
A change of scenery can have a very positive effect on everybody! So glad you're getting a nice vacation! You and your girls deserve it!❤
I'm so proud you are finding the healing you need. Great message
EMDR is a VERY effective therapy technique the military has been using for quite some time! My partner benefitted greatly from it! God bless you and your girls! I pray you find peace through this therapy! I’m confident you will!
And, GOOD JOB DRIVING YOUR MOTORHOME!!! I have not yet gathered the courage to drive ours! One day, though!! 😂❤❤❤
As a ptsd vet, I can say that this is an incredible therapy. I have used it myself with great success. I use hand buzzers as I don't like anyone's finger wagging in my face, but it works with both options (maybe more). If anyone reading this is contemplating it, please look up images of CT scans showing before and after EMDR. The best advice is to get someone with experience. This works! I am so happy for you to have found this. You can look ahead to days when this is manageable. Godspeed. and love.
I'm so proud of you and the girls Kelly! You are indeed a shining example for so many people. Love and prayers always. ❤🙏
I’m a long time psych nurse and I knew you were going to say EMDR. I really hope it works for you. I’ve seen good results from it. It’s not for everyone. I had a patient who had childhood trauma and developed a very good protective coping skill and wasn’t a candidate for example. But my best friend had great results! I’m wishing you best of luck and continue to do the hard work to get on track. ❣️🙂↔️
EMDR has been much more productive for me than traditional therapy. I’ve had the same therapist for over 10 years, off and on, and we’ve been using EMDR for the past two years and I’ve noticed a huge improvement ❤ You got this, you know what to do and you’re doing it, and stay at your own pace! ❤
Hang on girl. You know what's best for you and your girls and only you. You are doing great ❤
I have been through EMDR! It's wonderful. It's very hard, but worth every headache and tear. I'm happy you have found it. We'll see our old Kelly in the future. Hugs.
I had a feeling you weren’t eating. I’m so happy things are turning around and getting better. I think the treatment is going to help because you always give it your all.
Wow…just wow!! What an amazing person you are!!❤ you never cease to amaze me!
glad you are all feeling a bit better. remember, people can only hurt you IF YOU LET THEM. DO NOT allow them to do this. second, Imagine an empty room. nothing there, not even furniture. THAT is how many people you should listen to their negative comments, that you should worry about what they say. NONE. you take care of you, and those girls. you have to begin to live again. and you are, baby steps. hugs dear.
Kelly, so amazing to see the actions you and the girls standing up and moving forward. Removing yourself from situations that cause pain, stress, or emotional trauma is the best idea. Removal of situations and people that continually attack is a necessary action. In reference to driving an RV, yes your fear or stress at the beginning at this time in your life is normal. Was not the Kelly you know and love, but that Kelly showed up and look at you guys out there on the road. Your “normal Kelly” as changed life does it to you, sometimes over time, sometimes with a slap in the face, she my have changed but at the end of the day she has changed to be stronger, more loving, more compassionate Kelly. Let your Kelly can building that pathway and in time her amazing strength will shine again with a brighter light because now you and the girls have a naming guardian angel with his wing wrapped around you to continue and honor Ray by living an amazing, fulfilled life that all of you are so proud of. Ray’s time here was short, but his impact will last a lifetime. Make yourself proud, and in return Ray’s life will become so much more. God bless you and the girls. Take this time to be on solid ground. When you head home have the peace within to believe you all have the strength to move forward. And be damned to the haters. And by the way we are all waiting for the diy’er to be back. Love you❤and the girls. HAVE LOADS AND LOADS OF FUN. y’all deserve it, you truly do
love you and the girls, Kelly!!!! Praying for strength and healing. God bless😇😇😇😇😇
Turn to God for He loves you more than you will ever know.
Amen! I did in my hour of need….wanting to end my life! I called out to God, well actually shouted at God! He heard my cries 😢❤ ✝️🙏🏼❤️ I’ve never looked back! It’s the best thing I’ve ever done! He hears our prayers! Turn to Jesus Christ Kelly you won’t regret it I promise you! You don’t need to attend a church to call out to God, just mean everything you say from your heart. He knows our hurts and is waiting for us to open our hearts to him. I love you Kelly and want you to know about Jesus . He is the one to talk to. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. God bless you all in Jesus precious name Amen 🙏🏼 ❤✝️❤️🥰😘
@@nikkiejones4606I’m glad that you didn’t end your life. Glad you are here. Yes on praying to God. ❤❤❤
Pray 🙏🏼 to Jesus ..plead his blood over you and your family. You just have to believe he was born of a Virgin. That he is the Son of God.. Ask forgiveness for Forsake your sins. ❤He inhabits our praise.It's easy to love and praise the lord and he will love and Will love you back loves you Weather you love him or not. Just read your king James version Bible the others.They take the blood out. When I got saved , I was headed to the mental institution or hell.i Have peace and if I ever come up against something, I can't handle.I just start reach ing for God's love and he brings me through it.❤
His name is Jesus Christ! Find a reformed church. There is a really good one in Hanford.
All I can say is♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Look at you…reaching out to help others in your journey to healing😊…sounds like you’re halfway there already…just know this is a process…sometimes two steps forward and one step back..there’s no timetable to this,..just live in the moment, be grateful for the small things as well as big. I promise you that there’ll be a day when you and your girls will wake up lighter in your spirits and will have joy again. Just trust in the Lord..He’s got all our backs!😊❤️🙏
Thanks for the update. I'm glad you are all getting better 💓
I had mentioned in a comment on one of your videos how it has helped me to listen to you talk of your son's cancer and your feelings and allow me to cry along with you as my husband was battling his. I recently lost him after his courageous fight. I now find myself watching you and seeing how you have dealt with your loss and you let me know that we can feel weak but that eventually we can get through it. I guess what I want you to know is that you are, in your own way, helping me and probably others get through some tough times and I want to say thank you.
Ugg you just made me cry! Hugs to you🫂
I would totally run to you and hug you all right now. I relate so much and applaud your bravery!!! I am so proud of you!! So happy for this light we can see in your eyes. You got this Kelly!! I am old enough to be your mom and I am fighting a very similar fight. Thank you for your wisdom I hope and pray I can grab some of your strength--I will be pressing rewind and re-watching these videos again and again!! Love and hugs to you all!!
I know someone who did EMDR and was very happy with the results.
Thank you for sharing Kelly. Praying for you and the girls 💖🙏
Sending hugs and prayers for continued healing. Life can be very tuff and sometimes overwhelming. You are so real about everything you and the girls are going through. So glad this trip has been what you needed. Hope this new therapy you are talking about is helpful. Safe travels from Washington state❤❤
