    The purpose of my channel is to document my cancer journey to look back on, and/or help anyone else going through anything similar. It is also to potentially help loved ones supporting those who are in this fight as well. This is also an easy way to update a lot of people at once. My main goal is to have footage of this journey for my husband and children to look back on. I originally created this channel as a sort of video diary for my
    family.
    Thank you so much for following along on this journey. Your love and support help me so much.

    Grief has 5 stages.....denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. I am 9 years into my loss almost (my husband had cancer too) and I can tell you that I have flipped through ALL the stages all the time. There is no rhyme or reason for it. Hugs to you Kyle!

      I have lost many people during my 78 years on earth. If there's one thing I've learned, is that the stages of grief don't necessarily come in a predetermined "order". Th stages are really random, and "hit and miss". No fixed order.

    My husband crossed over last June from Young Alzheimer’s. This month the grief stopped overnight. ❤This is what I had to accept. He’s not coming back. He was suffering. He’s happy in heaven. - A Miracle happened!!!
    I had a visitation he was standing beside the bed when I woke up at 3am. I heard laughing and he was very happy and looked younger and said he was happy and to move on with my life. I said I loved him and he smiled then said move on its fine. Then he pointed up. He then disappeared. Got sent him back for a minute to get me over my grief. The grief disappeared. 😊❤

    I lost 2 children to cancer, anger is definitely part of the process. However I saw a comment that said bargaining is part of the process, I did not find bargaining in my process of grief. I did my bargaining before I lost them, I bargained with God to please don’t take them, I will give or do anything but please don’t take them, that is when I did my bargaining. Kyle you will be going through this for years. It gets more bearable as time goes, I won’t say it gets better, just bearable. You NEVER leave grief behind, but you do learn to live with it and you take it with you as your life goes on.❤❤ The only therapist I was willing to talk to was a grief therapist that had experienced the loss of a child. Though other therapist possibly could have helped me, they cannot comprehend the heartbreak of losing a child and in my case I lost 2 children. I did not want to talk to anyone if they had not experienced the loss of a child, if they want to talk to me and they had lost a child, then they had my attention. I still cry❤today April 22 2001 I lost my son, April 6 2021 I lost my daughter, yes I still cry❤❤

      I was the same. You can't know the agony of losing a child unless you have been there. It was a big black hole for a few years. I still have a hard time every year when her birthday and Christmas come. She died on Dec 16, 2001, on her birthday. And I crash every year. Some years are worse than others, and the pain is not as sharp. I am so sorry for your loss. I can not imagine losing 2. My heart breaks for you. Kyle is so strong and doing an amazing job with his 2 beautiful children. My heart goes out to him. Much love.

    I just want to chime in that some of us “lost” our other parent to an unwanted divorce. Unfortunately, most people have no empathy for that situation and don’t think any help is needed. However, it is almost exactly like the other parent died and you now must do everything on your own. The stages of grief apply to the death of a relationship, too.

    When I lost my son, I didn't feel any sign of anger. It'll be 2 years this October, but just recently I thought to myself things like Why did you leave me? It hurt so much. I wanted to see you grow and flourish. I thought that for a couple of days, but then after that I prayed. I really did with my whole heart and ask God to comfort me. He says he will comfort those who mourn and he did..

    Never did I imagine being so comforted by your grieving process. When you first lost Jenny i was sure of 2 things: 1. Your beautiful babies being the perfect distraction to keep you going and keep you from slipping too far to the dark side, they are such a blessing. and 2. Sitting in my own grief for years now, I was really worried for you. Those babies losing their momma at such a tender age is so unfair and you, the love of your life and life partner. I thought for sure that'd be the last we'd hear from your family, or at least for awhile. Yet here you are sharing your grief journey, already helping so many others as you continue to find your way. You are a great example of strength. And keep going! It is inspiring to watch you progress. My question is did you develop any new anxieties/fears since Jenny's departure? Many blessings to you and the kids.

I think how you deal with hard times, and your communication skills, both are really making a positive difference in your children's lives to learn how to deal with loss, grieving, and just tough situations in life. Communication is so essential to everyone's well-being. Blessings to you, great job!

He has very young kids, and I am so angry that this happened to him. He came home from work, sat down to dinner and blacked out and never came back from ICU. We were with him while he took his last breaths. I just don't understand why this happened. And anger does get the best of me most days that this happened to his kids that they will never have their father in this world with them. The youngest is 5.

    I would love to hear from Jenny’s sister in a segment. My experience with losing my brother and nephew. It was devastating and I felt so alone in my grief. This was years back and I still feel like the focus was on my SIL and rightly so, but very little mental help for a sister/aunt. i’ve been to therapy and I don’t feel like a victim at all. I just think we need to reach out to all family and friends and just ask them, “how are you doing?” and follow up by being that person who will let you share how empty it feels dealing with grief because honestly as a sister I just felt my role was to help with childcare. Saying that it reminds me that no one checked in with me and i didn’t even notice that until years later. I would love to say I bet the siblings of Jenny need to know we care. Love you Kyle for your articulate gift of expressing yourself. This channel is very therapeutic.

    I recently lost my best friend to illness.. Lost my mom and dad as well and I wrote this after my bestie. Grief is a wave... A wave of love lost but not forgotten. It will hit you when you wake up and realize it wasn't a dream. It will hit when you reach out to call/text that person like you normally do every day. It will hit when you hear a song, see a picture. Then it will be raw like it just happened. The reality is that you will grieve forever bc you can never replace the hole in your life. You will never "get over" the love you lost, you will learn to live with it. You will begin to heal but it will always be a part of you. It is OK to have bad days. It is OK to want to be alone and not see people. It is OK to cry, scream and yell. Please reach out to those who lost someone, say that loved ones name, share memories bc they need that. Sometimes a simple how are you doing can brighten a day. Those who are grieving will still go on with life, they will do the daily life tasks but they are struggling within. They will smile with you, work with you, comfort you but deep down they are crying inside. I write this not just for me but for all those who have lost a a part of their soul, a loved one that can never be replaced. Be kind to yourself and to all around you bc you never know what that person is battling to make it through that day.

    Hi Kyle 🙂 👋 Thank you for this talk. I am feeling very frustrated, irritable, and angry. But not from losing someone close to me. But for grieving my previous life. I am loaded up with unbearable and intolerable, severe chronic / acute pain. It is under managed currently. I am pushing for a Hospital or Pain Management Unit admission. I am deteriorating, but don't have the physical and mental strength to keep pushing for help anymore. But I need, the help right now. If there are any, christians reading this. Can you please pray, that I get the help I so desperately need asap. Battling with suicidal thoughts, because I am pleading for help and no one is acting quick enough. Just because someone hasn't made a suicide attempt before, doesn't mean that they are never going to attempt it. If I had done something like that and survived, I would have gotten help for my pain quicker probably. Any prayer would be appreciated, and I would be so very grateful. I am doing this, all by myself. And I live by myself. Thank you again for this video. It has helped me tonight. Just mine is, a different kind of grief. ❤

After her loss, walking down the pet food aisle out of habit was a kick to the stomach, reliving her being unwell and deteriorating and her being in fear, and passing the area in our home where she fought so hard to stay. I fought my way out of that deep hurt/anger. My love for her and her love for me, it made me stronger in life. When I get to Heaven I get to hold her again. ❤ In the meantime, her love and memories are what keeps me pushing forward. Love is everything we need! 🙏🏼

    Totally normal to be angry. I lost my amazing, surgeon, father due to a plane crash when I was 5. A book that my mom wrote for me and my two brothers to this day means the world to us. We were 4 5 and 7. We went thru all emotions. My mom, like u, was so empathetic with that tragedy. Kept her head up. Put on a happy face for us kids & we were all truly sad and hurting for our dad, but turned out strong, happy kids because we had a strong mom like u are a strong, funny, happy dad. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 As was my
    Mom. But the fact that she sat us down for an interview to ask us about our favorite memories about daddy and she made a book out of it- is so important. When I read her small book/ with daddy’s photo- it makes me remember everything we said about him that we would not have remembered.

After his death I had no way to understand how cruel this all was. Sad lost and angry that people would be so upset over trivial things. It takes time, but you do learn to deal with it all. Never forget them, but remember good things and good times you had with that person.

I’m slowly taking over every aspect of our lives including all the things he previously handled. Making future life decisions. We are going to move in anticipation of needing a smaller home as I can’t handle this one anymore. Scaling down is so emotional! All my memories. What can we afford?? Thankfully my faith that the Lord is with me and what is the most important in life has helped. I’m very kind to my husband as I know he can’t help what he’s going through. But every now and then I do get angry at something stupid. I need some help.

    Speaking of anger in grief ... when my 44 year old nephew hung himself 17 years ago, I went into a fit of rage. I remember looking up at heaven and swearing at him for doing such a stupid and foolish thing. And like with many suicides, the anger is often followed by lots of "why's and what if's". There's also a lot of guilt involved, and anger at yourself ... like why didn't I see the signs! Sometimes I think that death by suicide is harder on the survivors than it is on the victims. 😔

    Kyle, anger is a part of grieving. Since my father passed away suddenly and unexpectedly of heart failure on May 9th 2021, I have been constantly short-tempered with me having to deal with everything on my own. I become angry because my sister and brother-in-law will not let me have a credit card because I get scammed quite easily and the lady who is charge of my finances at the bank will not let me have a huge Savings amount. I become angry if things around the house do not work properly or if my computer acts up. All that anxiety which I have been suffering since my father's death has led me to great anger.

    I am in so much pain with my grief, I lost my husband last month at the age of 59, shock, he went to work and passed away from a heart attack. I never got the chance to say goodbye. I cannot seem to fathom this extreme loss.😢😢

    It is so frustrating because you know you can’t change the circumstances or situation. You just have to keep going.

      I'm sorry for your loss.
      I lost my brother to suicide and I'm just so angry as to why. Why didn't he come to me.
      Why did he suffer alone. So many questions and no answers it just leaves you in a spin.
      This happened in 2019 still asking why
      God be with you as you navigate your way through this 😢😢❤😢😢😢
