      What resonates with me the most is choosing to focus on the positives of our parents lives; not their death, sickness, etc. and to live a full life, as they would want me too.
      Thank you for this!❤🙏🏽

      What resignated the most with me was how gracefully she handled the death of her parents I've lost both of mine and went through a very bad divorce. I'm just now finally on the mend. Is this book good for someone who's spouse died? If so I have a friend who could really use this book. Thank u for always being inspirational. I'm newer to your channel and I love your topics. ❤ I love the fact we are all connected.

      JayShetty this interview with Nicole was really a blessing at this time for me, for many reasons at a time in the world which seems to be so uncertain and scary. This is maybe odd to ask, but I believe that Nicole recording in her voice because it’s her story would be such a blessing to many who may need to “hear” these words and find their own voice, courage, peaceful and helpful in these challenges that many around the world are facing. ❤❤❤

    October 20 1996.. I returned home to find my son had lost his baby life. He was 22 months old. As a parent, I felt the serious bargaining of "would of" " could of" or all the "If's". Today is the anniversary of his death.. and it's been since 1996 and it feels like yesterday.. I learned to be okay, with, not being okay with it. If it hurts and I need to cry..I cry. Today I am okay. What I like about your show is the learning and healing, not letting your amazing guests experiences be in vain. We all can learn something from someone's experience - we all have a purpose, a responsibility in this lifetime, to be the best version of ourselves - to take the blessings of someone's sharing of their story, and respect it by gaining what we can from it.. don't let the pain be in vain.

    As I type , I ,too am healing and repairing and the importance of genuinely showing up for others
    A very interesting podcast and as a black woman, I feel honoured to have listened and soak up this message ...powerful

    So when I saw the title of this particular one, I didn't wanna listen because I felt it was just gonna open up old wounds again. However, listening to this kinda helped me realize how much I have healed over time.
    The part where she was asked if it was the last few moments of her Mom's life or the 81 years that mattered, really got me cuz I have lost people I deeply cherished and loved (almost at once). And as much as losing them hurts, still hurts, they dedicated most of their lives loving me and genuinely investing in my growth and happiness. My grandma loved me with everything in her while she was here. Same with my aunt and friend. So that should definitely count for something and that should be what sticks in my heart/head and not the pain or their last moments.
    Thank you again Jay and Ma'am Nicole for doing this one.

    I have been praying and asking god for guidance and help to will up from the loss of my husband two months ago. Yes he was sick, yes he is in a better place and out of pain. But now I am in pain of the loss of not caring for him, being alone, nobody to talk with, no family that lives close, now that he is gone his family doesn’t bother with me any more (we were together 10yrs) Thank you so much God for putting this book in my path ♥️

I pray one day I was have an opportunity to speak with you because your platform has truly been a blessing in my life & healing process. Nicole’s testimony makes me think of ancestral worship and the importance of it which I found myself doing as a munchkin now into my adulthood. Speaking to them, building altars, dedicating our gifts & performances to them. It’s a honor! SPIRITUAL GOOSEBUMPS ON 💯! Peace & blessings to you all. 🌻🔥👑🙏🏽🥹🤗

    My bf is going through intense panic attacks and anxiety with depression after losing his therapy dog. That bit about a min at a time resignated with me so much j had to pause and rewind the video a few times to accurately quote Nicole to text it to him(he cant immediately look at videos so for the immediate glance help i sent him the words and the video link to watch when he has a chance to) thank you. Sometimes it isnt obvious but taking it easy on ourselves and showing ourselves grace sometimes is in forms of simplifying things down even further to take things at the speed we need. Listening to our hearts and bodys to what we can handle

    Great podcast I can relate. Tragically I lost my brother where a neighbor argues over a parking space in their apartment complex . NY snow storm 1996. The neighbor came and busted in the door and pulled the trigger My birthright was due to get married and left a five year old daughter. The person has since served time and was later released 15 years to life. Family and mentally we went through a lot. I commend everyone to talk it out seek therapy and trauma and tragic endings mean life goes on. God Bless

    As a mother who lost my son to the penal system. He murdered an elderly couple and attempted to murder their son who had been caring for them. He is an addict. But, though she lost her mother to similar violence! I can relate to her process of healing and going through the trauma, grief and pain process!
    I so needed to hear this and to hear it at this moment has to be a gift from God! Bishop TDJakes has helped me through my pain also! And I have never met him! Just another gift that God placed on my path via internet when I needed him the most! So incredibly helpful!

I'll be purchasing the book. Blessings to Nicole and her brother. 🙏🏽

    I feel like I’am been summoned 😇to write this quick note about this one podcast in particularly. Indeed I can relate to her story to my own experiences.
    In the sense that I had this fantastic and amazing opportunity to be raised by my auntie as my mother passed away when I was six years old.
    I had this amazing privilege to be raised by my father and my auntie at the same time in the most beautiful way and I definitely can relate to her in the matter of how my family in my own perspective made sure that I kept the energy of my mother alive for sure in that sense !.
    Especially my dad , with the help of my amazing auntie by just doing simple things, such as keeping pictures of her , talking to me about her, and the best one bringing me to therapy.
    They made sure that all my surrounding were fit to keep me going through this hard time as themselves
    I like to think it took a “all village” for me to not forget about my mother in that sense of truth .
    And indeed it has work cause I still remember her now and I still feeling her love and I agree with her :Grieving is the proof that you are love and still being loves by your ancestors ❤
    Hopefully I answer well to the call 😅👍🏾
