A wise lady told me when my dad suddenly passed - I was talking to him at 1100 and he was dead by 1200 - he wasn't sick his heart just stopped. The grief doesn't go away you just find a way to go on with life with it in your life. Hugs to you and your family in this horrible time x
So true Sam...
Annabel ,My deepest condolences for your terrible loss..
You said "I can't end this (video) positively", I think the positive ending is your bravery ... sharing and talking... A beautiful tribute. Be gentle with yourself dear girl xxx
Oh Sweet Annie, I'm so sorry for the loss of your cousin. I hope you can find peace in your heart someday. 🫂
May he rest in Love and Light 💖🕯️
I lost my 27 year old son in May. He was as much my best friend as my son. I resonated with the things you said. It is so hard to believe they are gone. My son whispers to me “just be”. And so I go on. I am living one day at a time, sometimes moment to moment. Grief is enormous. Be gentle with yourself.
I am so sorry for your loss❤
Feeling broken-hearted for you. 💔 That must be unbearable sometimes.
💜
Im so sorry for the loss of your dear cousin. I lost my 19 yr old son in September of 2022. The waves of grief are endless. I pray for you that they become ripples in your life bringing back only the best of memories of your time together. And my deepest condolences to his parents, he will always be with you. 🙏🏼❤️
So sorry for your loss ❤
@@gabrielablackwell5102 thank you Gabriel
my best friend took his own life back in 2013.. id just left for university, coming from a long term unhappy family living situation, so meeting him became a light in my (at the time) dark life... when he took his life it felt like that light went out, but you learn eventually that they're always there, beside you, helping you from the other side.. sending you love and light xxxx
Grief is a unique, personal experience. You gave a beautiful tribute, despite your fear and doubt...or perhaps because of it. You don't have to close anything out in a particular way. Those of us who have known grief know the place that you are in. No words will be of comfort to you, and you will never be the same person as before. And that's okay. You will always have a person-shaped hole in your life, but in time you will build beauty and warmth and comfort around it. For now, just take one day at a time and take care of yourself.
I lost my dad very suddenly, and was very close to the whole situation & his passing. This caused some trauma and made the whole loss that much more traumatizing. I have however been able to process and kept on creating things, and expressing things. One of the most important things to me was that i kept talking about all the good things, I want all the good memories and stories to overshadow all that horrible stuff from those days. I created a separate altar just for him, that i filled with items that remind me of him. I believe that by keeping their memory alive they are never truly gone, that does not change the fact that it really sucks that they are not physically there . 💚 Sending you strength 💚
The ones we love really never leave us, because they live in our hearts. He is part of the light now, I know that it doesn't help right now but it will. Sending blessings of comfort and healing to you and your family. May the Goddess keep you safe in her hands. Blessed be ❤️
Indeed they live on...and not just in our hearts😊
I'm so sorry for your loss, Annabel. My condolences to you and yours.
❤ 🙏
We lost my mother in law to a year long battle with cancer, in November 2023. It feels so strange to do "normal" things, and the firsts of everything without her are very sombre. Thank you for sharing with us your journey and the pain, we are with you ❤
My mom passed away from cancer in December 2023, sending love 💕
There are no words. I understand every word you said. Blessed be in love and light.❤❤❤
Logic does not do much to help the feelings. Those are really wise words. As a trauma survivor, I did my best, studied all the reasons it might have happened. My therapist finally had to tell me that I needed to feel my way though it. That’s what brought me to the path of practice and healing. Still healing. I am sending you energy of comfort and peace. Blessed be.
Sending you so much Love Annie. As someone who has experienced the loss of many loved ones, I know grief never goes away, it just changes over time. I keep the memories of my loved ones tucked in my heart. There is not a day that goes by ,without me talking to them . I know they hear me, I feel their presence when I'm missing them. I have had many signs from them, to let me know they are near. Everyone experiences grief differently. There are no words to ease your pain. Please know, if the time ever comes, that you need to talk about your sweet Cousin/Brother, or honor him through your content, please do. Sending you much Love and hugs. 🕊🕊
I was reinventing my altar and decided for some reason I needed to add dreid orange slices to my altar last night. Wake this morning to this video and your cutting up orange slices.
I'm so sorry for your loss Annabel. May Goddess help you thru this time. Blessed Be. 🌙
I lost my “baby” brother in 2017, he was 25. It was a freak dirt bike accident. There have never been answers. The pain never goes away. You just learn how to cope better.
Make sure to keep talking about him (in your personal life) to keep his memory alive. I would never expect you to share on here
Sending love and light to you and your family.
I think talking about it Annie is a good way to heal from grief. Although I've never experienced grief of a loved one I can't imagine how one must feel. I am projecting a beautiful healing light towards you as I tear up watching this video. Thank you so much for sharing with us. 🌻🌙
Annabel! My dad was killed by a drunken driver as he walked along the footpath. And still to this day it hurts. Sending you warm Irish hugs from across the Atlantic. Be kind to yourself. 🍀🍀😺😺🇮🇪🇮🇪💚💚
I’m Irish and every time my parents drive anywhere in Ireland I’m sick with worry. I’m so sorry for what happened to your family.
@@arkus1928 Thank you so much for leaving a message. I didn't expect this. I felt so sad for Annabel and how she bared her soul. Hugs to you also. 🍀🍀💚🇮🇪😺😺🍀🍀
I am so very sorry for your loss, Annie. It makes no sense and there’s no way to make it so. I hope time will make his loss a tiny bit easier to bear. You have a whole community out here holding you in healing light.
My heartfelt condolences for your loss. When I think of my father’s passing, almost three years ago. I focus on the good memories and take comfort that he is no longer in pain.
Mourning with you, today, Annie. Express your sadness, express your anger. Don't let it eat you up inside. Mourn with others. Be with each other. All the love to you and your family.
my godmother died today. a really awesome woman, an oncology nurse. i'm sorry for your loss, it hurts a lot. i hope we can keep your family member's memory alive, collectively.
Grief is one of those strange things no-one really talks about. I've had more than my fair shair, a daughter, my mother and father within six months of each other. There is a lot of love in this comment section, and good advice. Mine is simple, grow something. Create art whenever you can (finishing it is optional). Don't force yourself to feel or not feel anything, if you let it move through you, it hurts less.
Sweet girl, my heart is with you now. A sudden, senseless death tears a hole in the fabric of the universe that may take generations to heal. I'll keep your cousin in my prayers tonight, and you as well. We who watch your videos will all be here for you. 💔🙏 Blessings from Canada.
Oh Annie I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother in 2007 at age 33 during a horrific work accident on a stormy night. I got a call at midnight from my sister (we live in different state) the pain and agony I felt that night is unexplainable.
It has taken me many years to accept that was his time. But he lives on in our hearts and in our memories.
Sending you and your loved ones peace and comfort during these difficult moments.
In time the silver lining will reveal itself. For us, we found it in the lesson we felt our family tragedy brought which was to appreciate each other and make plans for now, not tomorrow because now is all we have.
I also lost a little brother, over 10 years ago. In the sense that it isn't a constant, daily life-altering gut-punch anymore, the loss has gotten much easier. But my stomach still hollows when I think about it, and sometimes the force if my grief is staggering. However, our family situation was *very* different from yours, so the grief of his absence is magnified by the grief of our entire history together, and the resulting emotional distance between us. My hope for you is that eventually, as your mind wanders to old times with your cousin, you'll be comforted and blessed by recalling your many loving moments together. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. A sudden death, especially when they were so young, feels impossible to process. Be kind to yourself while you grieve and don't rush it. Much love to you, Annie.
Sending you so much love, Annie. I'll be burning a candle for you and sending everything positive I've got in my soul.
🌲🍀🐾💚😔I lost a cousin that I was close to (we always went fishing together), hung out more with him (almost the same age), than with my brothers who were younger & don't like fishing. More than 20 year's have passed, I still feel it. I know you're pain all too well😪. You're honoring him with Respect though😌☀️🌻🌸🌺🌷🕊💚🐾🍀🌲.
the feelings of grief is the strength of the bond you shared. The greater that bond the longer the process, though every day will become a little easier. It never fully goes away. Wishing you spiritual blessings and acceptance during this time.
In December I experienced a loss of mu Aunt also in a horrific way. I accept death as a part of life and that after the current life we as a sould continue. My Aunt was living my worst nightmare. The grief I felt was immeasurable. I had zero empathy for inconveniences that are just that. I will always grieve and I will honor her every day in some way. Honor your little brother and cry and be angry and find the peace of silence. And when your ready you can bring in the light and all the wonderful memories. I suggest making a memory tree. With ornaments made from pics of loved ones that are alive and that have passed.
Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry for your loss 😭 I can see how devastating this loss has been for you, thank you for sharing this very personal moment. I hope that by finishing this video it will help you. You need to take time for you and your family. I’m glad you got to spend some time with friends and family around the holidays and before this tragic accident. Please take care of yourself as much as you need. Your fans and followers will understand. Take care Annie ❤😊
Oh, Annie, I'm so sorry. ... I woke up this morning sobbing about a close friend who killed herself a couple of years ago. ... We will never leave them out of our memories.
Ohh sweetheart I’m so sorry, that’s so terrible… sending you so much love and strength and support. You’re gonna be okay, okay? So much love ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss! I lost my grandpa on my mom's side years ago and still miss him, he and I were two peas in a pod. We'd be sitting and reading our own books but still together.
I am sorry you lost someone so dear to you, dear Annabel. There is nothing one can say, life and death are all around us, part of us, and we are not in control of it.
I lost my mom, dad, aunt and grandma all in the span of 2 years, and it's really really hard, especially since my mom was my best friend, and honestly it never gets easier and you never "move on" but you learn to live with it as your new normal. There are some days where it just hurts so bad to just realize they're not here but we keep their memories alive by telling all the funny stories and cracking up laughing at all the good times. I often mimic how my mom talked in her sassy Brooklyn accent whenever my siblings or I do some dumb shit and it makes me glad that I got to spend enough time with her that she lives on through us.
I'm so sorry about your cousin, 19 is just so young it breaks my heart. Take the time you need to grieve and process your emotions, it won't be a short process and make sure to talk to your family, or a grief counselor if you really need to. I'm sure I don't just speak for myself when I say that as much as we love your videos, we care about your mental (and physical) health first and foremost and we'll all be here when you're ready to get back into the swing of things
I am so sorry for your loss, Annabel. I know it is no solace but sometimes we need to see the beauty in having had the time with this soul. They were given to us for their mortal life. I hope one day you will cherish the time you were given with him. I hope this will help heal a little bit when you are ready. Take your time. We will be here waiting for you when you are ready.❤
Grief is the price of love - BUT, love is the magic that connects us across space and time. I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my cousin very suddenly a few months ago. I know there is nothing I can say that will make it hurt any less, just know that I am sending you love and healing through this process. ❤ please take care of yourself in whatever way you need to.
As I watch this, it has also been 3 weeks and one day since my cousin, who I also saw as my little sister, passed away unexpectedly. I don't know how this video came to me, but it did. As we grieve the loss of our special sibling, I send you much love and a big hug.
grief is often enough to kill part of ones soul. its so painful. but 2 things i have learned. 1) that grief has its own agenda, some days will be harder than others and there is no linear path to grief. the "stages of grief" do not come in order. 2) the fact that you miss this person means that you loved and continue to love so strongly. It means that they were a wonderful person in your life and having them, however briefly, clearly meant the world to you. I wish you luck and peace on this new journey. Life does not alway have a reason for its actions. but you are strong and you can make it through.
I lost my father unexpectedly 2 days before Christmas. I completely understand how you feel...and yet I can't find words to console either... family... family is the only thing that helps you through it. Sorry for your loss.
When a bright life is suddenly gone, the loss is immeasurable. The pain profound. Take time to grieve. Having had several sudden, tragic losses in our family, i felt the rawness of your pain. Know that the love and life you shared with him will never leave you. Your life goes on and you carry him in your heart as you move forward when it is time. Honor the bond and the love you had with him in what ever way comforts your heart. Sending you much love dear friend.
I am so sorry for the loss of your "little brother". I am glad your life was so happily full with friends and family just before the tragedy. If anything, just to give you a deeper insight to the cruel beauty of the juxtapositions of this life. Again, my heart hurts for you, but I hope you find our comments a bit comforting.
Annie, I am so very sorry that you have had to experience this loss and pain. You are absolutely right. It is so impossible and horrible for our hearts to process... may you begin to hurt a little less each day moving forward. Sending you love.
My dog Poppy and I feel your pain of loss . . . glad that you have a big family to help you through this in some way. The pain of loss is tender, solitary and so personal. I am sending you a huge hug and I will sit with your pain. Love, Debrah
So very sorry for your family’s loss. Even though I don’t know you in real life , you’re such a beautiful soul and I’m sending lots of love to you and your family ❤
I can feel your grief radiating through the screen. I hope you know you are heard and held by this little community you've created. I lost my aunt/god mother very suddenly at the end of 2023 and the grief was unbearable for some time. Especially seeing how her passing affected my parents and loved ones. I miss her warm presence but I'm also so grateful she was here and I had my time with her. Feel all of your grief and with time, it won't feel as demanding. Sending abundant love your way ❤️
My father passed away 2 years ago, yet it feels like yesterday. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is so hard. In 2011 I lost a good childhood friend of mine to a long battle with cancer. One week later, my cousin very suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. I was so emotionally drained from the passing of my friend that I don’t think it even registered that my cousin dying was a real thing. It took nearly 6 months for that to finally become real to me. It takes a very long time to find what’s right side up again. And even then it is never the same. But in time, the memories become a blessing and feeling of love and gratefulness that they were part of your life and that you were a part of theirs. You carry them with you forever.
You ended the video just fine. All my heart goes out to you.
I'm so sorry Annie.😢 Omg nobody can prepare for that.😭 Sending you all my love.
My condolences to you and your family, Annie. I'm so sorry for your loss. Unexpectedly, I lost my mom three years ago. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her. The loss doesn’t really go away. At least not for me. A new way of life is built around the grief. Just know we are all here for you if you need us. ❤
I am so so sorry for your loss. It's never losing loved ones at such a young age. It's gonna hurt forever. We love you! Take care and be well!
Condolences. At the risk of sounding cliché, time does heal all wounds, if you let it. In time the grief will fade, and the good memories will still shine bright and will bring a smile to your face. Blessings.
I have just recently found your channels. I am so sorry for the loss of your cousin, of your little brother. Peace and blessings for you and your family, always.
I lost a very close childhood friend in highschool. He was only 17. It's been almost 16 years since his light vanished, and I still find myself crying sometimes, but you will be amazed by how far their bright light continues to reach, even long after they've gone. He is with you, and your love for him will live on through you, your practice, and your creativity.
Take all the time you need, Annie. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I hope that after some time, you can find a way to shine his light through you, so that we may all feel the beauty and warmth of his spirit. 💖
I'm so sorry that tragedy struck right when your life felt like it was falling back into place. That is a very difficult thing to go through. I hope you are able to find some semblance of peace again soon 💕
May you find peace that the universe which holds you also holds your loved one ... still . ❤
I am soooo sorry for your lost. It is so difficult for the once who still have to go through life with this hole in our life. Sending, you and your family, so much love and hugs.
Dear Annie, I am so sorry for this loss and your pain. Know that at least your feelings are real and they are the one thing that make sense in this situation. I send you hugs, and may your elderberry syrup be a metaphoric tonic for your soul.
I feel like the most beautiful think about this is your love for him. That he is so so so loved and that will not change regardless of if he is here or not.
Annabel, thank you for having the strength to share such an awful event in your life. My hope is that the wishes we are sending you and your family will be of some help. We all need each other.
Your grief, your love for him, _is_ beautiful. I know you tend to be very private here, but I want to thank you for you vulnerability and your candid sharing about your cousin. Thank you for honoring him by telling us about him and the way his life was woven with the lives of you and your family.
You're allowed to lean into the stillness and the Kairos time of grief. As you recorded this, not even a full moon cycle had completed since his passing. That's 28 days, and many cultures give a full 40 to immediate mourning rituals. Some grief rituals don't conclude until a full sun cycle, or year, has passed. Others last even longer . All this is to say that whatever you're feeling and in whatever timing the feeling or the moving forward happens for you, it's valid.
I'm so, so sorry for your loss. You're right when you say there are no words, but know I'm sending gentle intentions of love and support your way. May his memory be a blessing. 🫂
I am so sorry for your loss. His light still shines in you. Pause from going forward, but do not go back. Try to smile at the memories you have of him. Blessings Annie.
What a beautiful raw, and emotional way of showing your love and tribute to your cousin. I'm sorry for your loss, but clearly, you were very blessed to have him in your life (however brief) - thank you for sharing him with us xx
Dear Annie, We are here for you . I am glad you were able to talk about your loss with us. I hope it can help in some way to comfort you. Sincerest condolences and caring to you and your family. May your memories of him be a comfort to you all and help keep him close to your hearts. X
I'm so very sorry for your loss. You're in my prayers. Blessed Be from Phoenix, Arizona.
Talking about your cousin is honoring him and how much you all loved him. I'm so very sorry... my heart goes out to you...
About 7 years ago my god mom and my mom’s best friend of 20 years died in her sleep leaving behind a 17 year old daughter. The pain gets duller but never goes away. I sat bawling over this video because I thought of the day we found out
I am so sorry for your loss. A hurting heart is the worst of pains. Hopefully, time will allow the pain to soon recede behind the remembered joys of the times you shared with him so joy comes to mind first.
Thank you for sharing your grief and allowing us to witness and hold space for you. I am so sorry for your loss and the pain I know you are experiencing.
I deal with grief every day and would love to send you a care package with a blessing stone and some oils if you are open to receiving and have a PO Box I can send it to without invading your privacy.
Sending love regardless.
I am so sorry. Death is never easy, especially when it is unexpected.sending love and peace
I am so very sorry. When you lose someone that you are desperately close to, I am so sorry to say that the grief and the pain and the loss never goes away you just learn to live with it and it gets easier. I wish I could give you some Sage advice but unfortunately all I can say is that I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts. Stay safe and stay strong. It will get better.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have no words of comfort because there are none, but please know that you and your family are in my heart and prayers. Sending you love and light.
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your cousin. It is hard to lose anyone we love but it's harder when someone is young. Sending so much love to your family and your cousin's family. ❤
Loss never ends Annabelle, you can however Honor his life. He was living his life. His path. I'm sure he went into the wilderness everyday with a deep purpose and surrounded by Nature. Yes it is tragic but we all live a special timeline. Blessings to you and your family for healing. If you listen I have no doubt you will hear from him again✨
Annabelle, I am so sorry for your loss. Words so often are inadequate in these times. Take care of yourself in every way that is meaningful to you. Spend time in your beloved nature - the forests, the shore, the meadows. Give yourself as much time to grieve as you need. There is no time limit. Sending ❤ your way.
Oh sweet Annie, I’m devastated for you. Everything doesn’t always have an easy or happy ending. Thank you for letting us share your grief. Sending you and your family love, light and healing. Take care of yourself. So much love to you and yours. 💔😔
Your videos make me feel at home. Always.
So much wonderful advice in the comments. ❤❤❤I have nothing else to add except. Gentle hugs my sweet friend. 💖🌟
I am so incredibly sorry for your heartbreaking loss. I can tell you from experience that you will never get over it, but in time you will learn to carry it. Life does go on, even though it seems it shouldn't. If you're like me, you'll talk to him every day. I hope you will, and I hope that will help you. I'm glad you'll have happy memories to remember after some time has passed. My heart goes out to you and your family.
So so sorry for the loss of your "little brother. " You need to take time, be kind to yourself , everyone is different when it comes to grieving. It will take a long time to sink in especially as you live somewhere different to where he was , so it can take longer . People say time heals ....I don't think it heals because nothing fills the space of your loved one - but I think over time you learn to live differently without them . Sending you much love
We love you Annabelle. I hate that you're going through this and hope that the memories you shared help get you through. 💔😥
So sorry for your loss. Sending you a big warm hug and strength to keep you standing.
I'm so so sorry, dear. Sending you lots of love and healing. I hope your family can find peace moving forward. Loss and grief is so hard to live with but you will LIVE with it as hard as it feels now.
I'm so sorry for your loss. May he rest in my peace. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Thank you for opening your heart. I am so sorry. Truly. Peace and love. Peace and love.
Love to you,I'm so sorry for your loss,trival words but well meant.Your pups will be an extreme comfort to you
Annie - you are so right, there literally are no words for this. Those of us who have gone through what you are going through know this and understand, and those who haven't gone through something like this still come from a place of love with their words 🫶🏻. My mother passed away when I was 19 (I am 39 now). The best "advice" I could offer you is to definitely allow yourself to grieve for as long as you need to, as often as you need to, but also allow yourself to live when you are ready 🫶🏻. My heart is with you during this time, there is an "after" and your brosin (brother/cousin) will be there with you in everything you do and he will let you know his sneaky little ways of letting you know he's there, I promise. - Dani
Sending care and comfort your way, Annie. Loss is devastating. ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you, and your family manage to find some peace during this awful time.
I'm so sorry for your loss Annabel. It's very hard right now but you and your family will find peace one day. Sending my thoughts and prayers to you and your family ❤️🙏
You are so brave to share your loss. Such a raw and beautiful tribute to your loved one.
I am so sorry for you and your family. There are no words. Blessed be.
😢 sending the warmest of Hugs your way Annie & for your family too . This very difficult Tim in your lives will leave you all feeling Loss & Empty & very hard to comprehend & navigate around . But please know he your Cousin will also be going through an adjustment period on the other side so that he can find his way back to you all so he can send special messages your way to let you all know that he too is finding his new norm also , and he will be there watching over you all in his own unique way . For the test of your lives . Until you all meet up again , thinking of you hun
I am so very sorry for your loss. Use all the wonderful memories you have of him to see you through the darkest days ❤️
Life does have these horrible realities.. I am sorry this has happened. The only thing is you had the bright light in your life - for a short time.. that was a gift. Grief is yours and it is different for everyone. All my ❤ to you. I have accepted that I will always have Grief in my life. Blessings upon you.
I'm sincerely sorry for your loss Annie. Thank-you for sharing ❤
I’m so sorry for the grief you’re going through. I’m sending love and gentle hugs your way ❤
