As a former Marine and Vietnam veteran, I can't begin to describe how this video got to me. I just don't have the words. One evening, a number of years ago, I found myself with a bottle of scotch in one hand, and a .38 in the other. I'm not sure what happened, but I poured out the scotch, and threw the .38 into the yard. I am so sorry about your Uncle. Try to keep remembering the good times with him. I hope a lot of people hear your message here. God bless you ma'am.
God bless you "Becky"; you're a good and decent soul. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and courage in delivering this important message! Your anger and frustration is understandable and shared by many who've lost a loved one to suicide. But remember, forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself and to the one who hurt you. I'll pray for peace for you, your family, and for Sean.
Your absolute best work, your as pure as the driver snow. Your uncle’s blessings shine through and true meaning was bestowed upon you and they shine brightly in your speech and important meaning from that pure heart …he helped build. There is no lose in pure love it will merely , sprout up in others. Your bravery truth attention honesty and courage will be witnessed time and again I’m most certain. This deserves 7 billion views. Our hat tips! Well done.
I had a relative commit suicide in their house in the bathroom with their family downstairs, I couldn't imagine...I saw my dad cry for the first and only time in my life when we attended the funeral for his sibling. You said something I never heard before I know this is not exactly as you said it, but the gist was "when someone commits suicide they take that pain they are suffering with and spread it out amongst all the people who love them and they have to carry the pain." My lord, what a thought, so true, very on point. Thank you for sharing and you insight. MainerUSNR (USNavy Retired).
@@MaineGirlOutdoors Thank you. I was not looking for any consoling, just mentioning my experience with someone committing suicide, I forgot to mention this happened in 1980, so it has been a while. I wasn't all that close to that person, but I still think about it once in a while.
Good words, ma'am. I lost my dad to suicide in 2020. It hurts, still, but I have seen God take it and redeem that choice Dad made. A couple of other suicidal people have turned away from it, one after seeing what happened to my family, the other after being confronted by their loved one, who had heard my dad's story and was hence able to spot the indicators of suicidal thoughts. I have also learned that those left behind have a choice, too. They can either get carried away in the anger and blame game, or they can choose to work through their own pain and still seek to be the healthiest person they can be in spite of losing their loved one to suicide. I apologize if that sounds blunt or harsh, it isn't intended to be offensive. But it is the truth. And even if you choose to seek to be healthy and become a better person, you will still walk through times of anger in grief. This is normal, and it too will pass if you allow it to. Thank you for sharing your survival story. It has helped others.
I just got back to Pennsylvania from my yearly trip to Northern Maine. During this trip, I came upon your channel, and watched several episodes. Let me say, you are wise beyond your years! I was truly touched by what you shared today and I hope someone hears your message and is helped by your words!
This is a hard subject in my house. After i came home from my second tour in Iraq i spiraled outta control bad. I had days where i would hole up and just rock and cry and think about ending it. That was in 2007. Now in 2023 i still battle with depression, survivors guilt and all that stuff. I still have days where i think about it. But i remind myself who all is in my life that it would effect. Heck even as i am typing this i am battling bad with it all. Ive do great for the most part but certain times of the yr or certain things that happen really trigger it again. It truly does help to have a cpl good friends around. My best friend Lucky has helped me get back into the woods and camp and hunt and all that again. And my supportive wife and stepson give me the drive to keep keepin on everyday. Thank you for this video. This was a tear jerker and a reminder to keep talking. To keep sharing my story. That way i dont have to go to another brothers funeral. And so that someday they dont have ti go to mine. Thank you
Damn girl. Just tryna have some dinnah and you got friggin tears in my chicken noodle soup. It doesn’t get easier, with time, like they say it does. I’m not sure if I’m more mad at my best friend ,or myself for failing him. I haven’t had a real friend since, don’t want one . I try my best to be the person everybody needs and say whatever I gotta say now though. You snuck one right past my guard , I’m wicked Proud you represent my state. God bless. 🙏🏻
Very brave of you to put something like this out there. 100% agree, you may never know, but if it helps one person then its worth it and you will never know how many lives you effected in a positive manner. Beautiful message and i like your channel even more with every episode i come across. Keep up the great work and sorry about your uncle, but Im sure he would be proud of you.
You speak truth, and you are a part of a very small group of folks in society that are truly good people..I feel, the veterans are used as a piece of equipment for war, and the human elements, that real people cherish, have been cast aside long ago...Please ponder the fact that life, as we see it, and understand it, is just a fraction of something bigger. I am sorry for the pain you now carry..I am sorry your uncle decided to leave here the way he did.. I feel, he has spiritually grown from his decisions in the moment he left, and feels he would have done things differently given time.. Quick decisions have permanent, unintended consequences sometimes..Enjoy this wonderful day, and remember, as long as you are here, he is just a thought away...💕
Thanks for sharing “Becky”. My best friend growing up killed his self 6 years ago with the shotgun we use to hunt with as kids. I’m still mad at him. I think about Robbie every day. We all think about killing ourselves at some point in our lives but I really see how selfish it is now that Robbie did it. Thanks for shining a light on suicide. Peace and love to you and the rest of your family.
It's hard to watch this and not cry. I was Jackson's age when we lost uncle Sean but I still remember that day... this is an important video and I will be sending it to some friends of mine
When I was 20 and my brother was 27, he lost his way in this world. His name is Anthony. He was beautiful and my best friend. He was gentle and kind, and so funny you had to beg him to just shut up because your stomach would hurt from laughing so hard. He was my confidant and I was his, and we told each other everything. I thought. But there was one thing that he didn't share with me, or anyone else. He didn't share the depth of the pain he felt because of the betrayal of his brand new wife. I guess it was just too strong for him to share. And so I lost that beautiful boy. I was angry too. Sometimes I still am. But mostly I ache for him. For his voice, and his arm around my shoulder and his crazy jokes and stories. We came from a family of 10 children. Crowded, noisy house. But out of everyone, he was mine, and I was his. I think about him every single day. And I've wondered hundreds of times what my life would have been like with Anthony in it. I miss him more than i could ever say. So, please, if you are feeling lost, hang on. Try as hard as you can. Reach out. You will be missed. And it will break someone's heart. You do matter. You are important. And you are loved. 💙
Sorry for your loss. And I feel your pain. Got a brother that took his life to. Will never forget that. 17 of October I was building a deer blind and got the news, not fun but we need to be strong I know I was. And love the outdoors like there's no tomorrow, life is short so live it to the fullest. I was 18 at that time and someday if I see him. The first thing he's going to get a good kick to the ass, now we got children's and we live for them, god bless you and your family. Take care
Hi ,,, I just commented earlier this morning (12-3) , but I just caught this "You Matter" video.... I hvn't personally lost anyone this way , but I just had to say , that even from that/my perspective , this video really hits home .... Well spoken , well thought out. Though that's not hard when you just speak from your heart . I'm truly sorry for yours and your family's loss. I can only imagine the hurt and the unanswered questions ...the why's.... You have a great heart . I could hear the emotion in your voice... We all matter ... We all affect others . And you just don't always know how you touch other people . Your kids and Joe are very blessed to have you . And Thank you ( !! ) for mentioning the veterans ! Was your uncle a vet also ? I'll close with ,, The world needs more people like you . People hv lost touch with people .... blame technology for some of it ,, laziness on the rest .... It takes little effort to make someone smile ... if by no other way than just saying "hi" , how are you , and as you said, actually meaning it and taking a few moments to listen ..... I think this video will do a great service for someone, somewhere .... Semper Fi .......
I like what you have to say, the fact you love the outdoors and Guinness means we have a lot in common. I would love to talk with you sometime. I enjoy your videos so keep them coming. I’m a mental health clinician and former police officer and can relate to what you’re talking about. Be well, Pete
Great Video Miss. And yes Veterans we loose just too much. Sorry for the loss of your uncle. Your little ones will learn well from you. Well spoken Miss.
You're a good person and a good momma. I'm sorry your uncle felt there was no hope left. I have a family member who deals with depression a lot so I understand. I think every person who has depression or suicidal thoughts should watch this video. Take care.
Well-spoken, great video! With this crazy world we live in these days and the political correctness issues, everyone is trying to conform themselves into these perfect little boxes that most of us can not fit into. The woods is my peace. When things get heavy I head into nature and just observe and see how simple life is supposed to be. We put way more on ourselves than we need to deal with, life is meant to be lived in not trying to impress others or earn money constantly. Life goes way too fast. God Bless! I am truly sorry for your loss!
So sorry that you lost your dear uncle. Tons of truth in all that you said here about this topic. Thanks for having the courage to make this very important vid and to say what badly needs to be said, especially in today's Godless culture of despair. Lotsa hurting folks out there who don't realize how much they do matter to others, who may not see how profoundly they affect their loved ones by leaving them like that. God bless you and your family, in Jesus' name.
You are an incredible young lady, I'm so glad I've found your channel. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt story, we all go thru these times where it seems to hard. I'm Shure your story will help someone 💗🙏🙏 God bless you and your family
Thank you "Becky", for bringing the real message of caring to us all. I too lost an uncle to suicide , and I still have many questions, that are unanswered. I just discovered your channel, and very glad I did. I immediately subscribed! Thank You!
So sorry for your loss. Time seems to lessen the intensity of the pain, but never cures it. 💔God bless you. Welcome to the channel, I hope you enjoy the content.
Wow! Sorry you had to go through that. I'm sure it's tough to deal with at times. Especially for someone you care about and love so much. I've got a niece and nephew that I love dearly and I couldn't imagine what they would feel like if that happened to them. You know with this pandemic I've struggled a lot not with suicide but feeling like I'm not good enough and a burden to people. But I know God watches over us and He always gives us the strength to make it through tough times. I believe He gives us only what we can handle but that's why we should ask Jesus for help in tough time. I know God has big plans for me and I know He has big plans for each and every one of us. God has got me through the pandemic this far I'm sure He will carry me through as far as I need to go. God is good and He's a loving God. Thank you for this video it was really touching and it gives me hope and I'm sure it's given many others hope as well. I think your son will love the Swiss army knife that you get him. I wish I still had mine. Anyhow thanks for the video I hope to see more new content in the future and I'm also a new subscriber because of this video. God bless 😁👍
Thank you so much Danielle for sharing your pain and emotions with us ❤ I know how hard it is I lost a loved one as well 😢 Only God knows what the reasons are Stay strong sweetheart And as you said support those around you who may be in trying times ❤ God bless to you and your family
Well that video connected with me. Being an active duty Marine for the last 14 years I can understand your pain. If anybody needs help or to talk let me know! This dosent need to happen but your right, 22 a day do take their lives and it’s extremely sad. If you are a veteran or not you can always comment and I’ll have your six and hopefully help
Thank you for sharing this heart felt message. Over the years I've lost several loved ones to suicide and it still hurts to this very day. You had me watering up right along with you! Sorry that you and your family had to experience that kind of pain. Love, respect and heart healing prayers going out to you all
Thank you. Sorry you've had to/are going through it too. It's a different kind of hurt when they make the choice to go, as opposed to an accident or something. Take care and God bless!❤
I'm sitting here crying. Thank you for this video. This is probably the best thing I have watched on UA-cam. Nothing phoney. Or for clicks. I don't think I have ever watched a more gut wrenching and heart warming video. Your uncle would be so proud of who you are And would be honored to know he had such an impact on that outcome. So very sorry for your loss.
This sure hit home for me. I’ve lost too many friends to suicide. I could feel exactly what you were feeling. You had me crying. Thank you for posting this.
Very good for you to get this out I know of a couple of guys who took their lives that didn't seem to have a care in the world but must have kept everything inside them you are a down to earth girl and can tell you are speaking from your heart God bless you and your family and thanks for getting your message out because if it can help one person it's well worth it
I had left one other comment but this one this video I have to commend you you are a totally awesome outrageous lady you don't have much you just live in my spirits I am totally single I have nobody not that suicide was all my mind but just the rest of it helped me thank you sweet you have no clue how much you will help me out today I knew this was a karma me watching you videos one after the other but like I said earlier I don't generally leave comments You're outrageous Mom I love the little Charlene You've done a wonderful job with the them and Jackson with the calculation of the math That's intense sweetie I won't I won't hold you thank you I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos
So I just found your page yesterday and I want you to know that you are an inspiration and you need to keep doing videos like this because you WILL reach people. God Bless You!
Sending Hugs . I lost a close friend to suicide a few years ago ( so senseless) Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I feel your hurt through this video and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I had a 1st cousin who had heart problems. He had work done when he was in his early 20's. He found out later that he had to go under the knife again. He was in his early 50's when he took his own life. I found out when I was 35 that I had a deformed valve in my heart. I chose to fight! Well, I'm still here after open heart surgery for valve replacement at age 43 and a pacemaker at age 52. But, I can see how some folks can just give up. I was at that point. I was fatalistic. It's a very dark period in my life in which I don't ever want to go back into.
@@MaineGirlOutdoors That was nearly 20 years ago. Being a heart patient myself, I can understand his position, but can't agree with his decision. On a lighter note, my wife and I with our son went to the local animal shelter today because he wanted to adopt a cat. I told him to get a male cat that was neutered with a good disposition. What did we come home with? A Redbone hound/ Lab pup about 7 to 10 months old! I need my head examined.
What a great video i came very close to ending my life many years ago but i reached out and got the help i needed i suffer from major depression and anxiety and panic attacks it's but i have great family and friends to get me through this i have a coulpe of friends that call me if they havent seen or heard from me in a few days and that makes me feel great thank you for doing this video and god bless thanks shaun
Hi from New Brunswick.Wow,that was heartfelt and you are an awesome person to put yourself out there.So cool to see that there are real people out there that care to take the time to help others.The world needs more people that feel and think like you do.Please keep up the great content.
Very happy I found your channel.As the tears are running down my cheek I want to reach through the screen and give you a big hug!And I'm generally not the huggy type. I lost a nephew to suicide and my first cousin lost his adult son to it,so it hit kinda close. You're a great person for putting yourself through making this video.May God bless you for it! BTW , I too enjoy the Guinness!😃
I'm trying to think about how to write what I'm trying to say- Sorry about your uncle, that has to be hard and never knowing all of the answers. I haven't experienced it with a family member so I can't say, "I know how you feel". I've experienced it through years of working in public safety. Watching this gives me flash backs to three years ago when I saw a man kill himself, we were only a few feet apart. He never gave us the opportunity to try and resolve or work through the problems at hand. He already made his decision. About a year and a half ago a coworker had the same thing happen. He witnessed a very young person kill himself. This second person had his whole life ahead of him. Now there is a young child about the same age as mine with no dad. Seeing somebody in the act of taking their own life, seeing the life go out of them, it tears you up. Days after I could feel my heart racing, my arms and hands were shaking and I had myself convinced that somebody was coming and we were going to have a gunfight. I didn't know who, but that's what was going to happen and I was ready. Coworkers said my demeanor shifted after that. When my coworker went though the same thing, I kept close tabs on him. I could relate since I had been in the same situation also, so I actually knew what he was feeling and thinking, not assuming. It's bad enough to find someone after the fact, but worse to witness it. I hope that's something that nobody ever has to see. We all have our down times I think. I know I do. It's been a hard winter for me. I was left and now I'm a single dad and nobody wants a 40 year old guy with a toddler. That is discouraging, but...grind through it and keep pushing on. Everything in life now has to be for this little boy. When things are shitty, I look at the blond hair and blue eyes and his new life. Lately he's having a major dad complex so that's more reinforcement of why I need to be here. Somebody below said that the woods are their peace. So true. Being in the woods or along the ocean are the best places to be and we have plenty of that right here.
I cannot even imagine..... I'm thankful you were able to pick up and keep going after seeing something like that. And the little guy, he needs you to hold the line for him now. Raising kids is tough, but rewarding. Sounds like he's got a good father taking care of him. 🙂
@@MaineGirlOutdoors Thanks. It took a little while to get back in the saddle. Little guy...who's protesting taking his nap at the moment is the best little guy in the world. Everything is for him.
Beautiful video young lady ... God bless our vets .... I will share this with a few close friends ... even with you funny accent ( kidding) enjoy your beah . subbed ya just now.
Hey Becky. Great VIDEO! I'm A Retired Tinknocker here in Soprano Land. Do You remember what Local Your Uncle was out of? I may have knew him and worked with him.
you cannot fiqure out what they are thinking when they do that. they are not trying to hurt anyone. my grandfather did it in oct. 31 1985. we were very close. it hurts to this day and i am 66. love to watch ur hunts. ur a good kid
Sorry for your loss. No, they don't mean to hurt anyone, they are looking at it that way. I pray you have many happy days in this new year. I am glad you enjoy the videos. God bless.
Thank you for sharing this sad story. I shared it.
Agree with everything you said. God bless your family.

Wow, very heartfelt words, sorry for your loss. Yes depression is real for alot of us. But family and friends will get us through the tough times ...
It's hard to watch this and not cry. I was Jackson's age when we lost uncle Sean but I still remember that day... this is an important video and I will be sending it to some friends of mine
Wish he stuck around to get to know you guys better, you were all so little. 😞
@@MaineGirlOutdoors yeah... I have a few memories of him but not like you do. I know him more from home videos than anything
When I was 20 and my brother was 27, he lost his way in this world. His name is Anthony. He was beautiful and my best friend. He was gentle and kind, and so funny you had to beg him to just shut up because your stomach would hurt from laughing so hard. He was my confidant and I was his, and we told each other everything. I thought. But there was one thing that he didn't share with me, or anyone else. He didn't share the depth of the pain he felt because of the betrayal of his brand new wife. I guess it was just too strong for him to share. And so I lost that beautiful boy. I was angry too. Sometimes I still am. But mostly I ache for him.

I think about him every single day. And I've wondered hundreds of times what my life would have been like with Anthony in it. I miss him more than i could ever say.
So, please, if you are feeling lost, hang on. Try as hard as you can. Reach out. You will be missed. And it will break someone's heart. You do matter. You are important. And you are loved. 💙
Sorry for your loss. And I feel your pain. Got a brother that took his life to.

Great Video Miss. And yes Veterans we loose just too much. Sorry for the loss of your uncle. Your little ones will learn well from you. Well spoken Miss.
Thank you
You're a good person and a good momma. I'm sorry your uncle felt there was no hope left. I have a family member who deals with depression a lot so I understand. I think every person who has depression or suicidal thoughts should watch this video. Take care.
God bless you and yours. I pray your family member finds lasting joy in the blessings of life. ❤
Well-spoken, great video! With this crazy world we live in these days and the political correctness issues, everyone is trying to conform themselves into these perfect little boxes that most of us can not fit into. The woods is my peace. When things get heavy I head into nature and just observe and see how simple life is supposed to be. We put way more on ourselves than we need to deal with, life is meant to be lived in not trying to impress others or earn money constantly. Life goes way too fast. God Bless! I am truly sorry for your loss!
I couldn't agree more! 🙂
You are a wonderful person ,bless you !
Wow, this really hit home. I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing❤️
Very sweet remembrance and message. Shows the depth of your character. God bless you and yours.
Thank you. God bless you also.
So sorry that you lost your dear uncle. Tons of truth in all that you said here about this topic. Thanks for having the courage to make this very important vid and to say what badly needs to be said, especially in today's Godless culture of despair. Lotsa hurting folks out there who don't realize how much they do matter to others, who may not see how profoundly they affect their loved ones by leaving them like that. God bless you and your family, in Jesus' name.
Thank you
You are an incredible young lady, I'm so glad I've found your channel. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt story, we all go thru these times where it seems to hard. I'm Shure your story will help someone 💗🙏🙏 God bless you and your family
God bless you too.
Thank you "Becky", for bringing the real message of caring to us all. I too lost an uncle to suicide , and I still have many questions, that are unanswered. I just discovered your channel, and very glad I did. I immediately subscribed! Thank You!
So sorry for your loss. Time seems to lessen the intensity of the pain, but never cures it. 💔God bless you. Welcome to the channel, I hope you enjoy the content.
Wow! Sorry you had to go through that. I'm sure it's tough to deal with at times. Especially for someone you care about and love so much. I've got a niece and nephew that I love dearly and I couldn't imagine what they would feel like if that happened to them. You know with this pandemic I've struggled a lot not with suicide but feeling like I'm not good enough and a burden to people. But I know God watches over us and He always gives us the strength to make it through tough times. I believe He gives us only what we can handle but that's why we should ask Jesus for help in tough time. I know God has big plans for me and I know He has big plans for each and every one of us. God has got me through the pandemic this far I'm sure He will carry me through as far as I need to go. God is good and He's a loving God. Thank you for this video it was really touching and it gives me hope and I'm sure it's given many others hope as well. I think your son will love the Swiss army knife that you get him. I wish I still had mine. Anyhow thanks for the video I hope to see more new content in the future and I'm also a new subscriber because of this video. God bless 😁👍
God is good, and He does indeed take care of us! I hope you are well. Welcome to the channel!
@@MaineGirlOutdoors thank you 😁 looking forward to your videos. 👍
Thank you so much Danielle for sharing your pain and emotions with us ❤ I know how hard it is I lost a loved one as well 😢 Only God knows what the reasons are Stay strong sweetheart And as you said support those around you who may be in trying times ❤ God bless to you and your family
Sorry for your loss. God bless you as well. Life is beautiful and the bad times don't last forever.
Well that video connected with me. Being an active duty Marine for the last 14 years I can understand your pain. If anybody needs help or to talk let me know! This dosent need to happen but your right, 22 a day do take their lives and it’s extremely sad. If you are a veteran or not you can always comment and I’ll have your six and hopefully help
Thank you for your service! God bless you and yours! ❤
Not sure how I missed this video… but I am really glade you posted it and I thank you Danielle for the reminder. I love you big sis!
Love you too! 😘
Thank you for sharing this heart felt message. Over the years I've lost several loved ones to suicide and it still hurts to this very day. You had me watering up right along with you! Sorry that you and your family had to experience that kind of pain. Love, respect and heart healing prayers going out to you all
Thank you. Sorry you've had to/are going through it too. It's a different kind of hurt when they make the choice to go, as opposed to an accident or something. Take care and God bless!❤
Thank you.
I'm sitting here crying.
Thank you for this video. This is probably the best thing I have watched on UA-cam. Nothing phoney. Or for clicks.
I don't think I have ever watched a more gut wrenching and heart warming video. Your uncle would be so proud of who you are
And would be honored to know he had such an impact on that outcome. So very sorry for your loss.
This sure hit home for me. I’ve lost too many friends to suicide. I could feel exactly what you were feeling. You had me crying. Thank you for posting this.
Very good for you to get this out I know of a couple of guys who took their lives that didn't seem to have a care in the world but must have kept everything inside them you are a down to earth girl and can tell you are speaking from your heart God bless you and your family and thanks for getting your message out because if it can help one person it's well worth it
So sorry for your loss. God bless you as well.❤
Be kind, to yourself, to others.
When you give your Son the SwissArmynKnife, make sure to tell him a special story about your Uncle. God bless you, Becky!

Sending Hugs . I lost a close friend to suicide a few years ago ( so senseless) Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I feel your hurt through this video and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sorry for your loss. It is a terrible thing. Hugs to you as well. ❤
Thank you
I had a 1st cousin who had heart problems. He had work done when he was in his early 20's. He found out later that he had to go under the knife again. He was in his early 50's when he took his own life. I found out when I was 35 that I had a deformed valve in my heart. I chose to fight! Well, I'm still here after open heart surgery for valve replacement at age 43 and a pacemaker at age 52. But, I can see how some folks can just give up. I was at that point. I was fatalistic. It's a very dark period in my life in which I don't ever want to go back into.
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I am glad you stuck it out and fought it! God bless you. ❤
@@MaineGirlOutdoors That was nearly 20 years ago. Being a heart patient myself, I can understand his position, but can't agree with his decision.
On a lighter note, my wife and I with our son went to the local animal shelter today because he wanted to adopt a cat. I told him to get a male cat that was neutered with a good disposition. What did we come home with? A Redbone hound/ Lab pup about 7 to 10 months old! I need my head examined.
What a great video i came very close to ending my life many years ago but i reached out and got the help i needed i suffer from major depression and anxiety and panic attacks it's but i have great family and friends to get me through this i have a coulpe of friends that call me if they havent seen or heard from me in a few days and that makes me feel great thank you for doing this video and god bless thanks shaun
So glad you reached out when you needed! Glad to have you here.😊
Hi from New Brunswick.Wow,that was heartfelt and you are an awesome person to put yourself out there.So cool to see that there are real people out there that care to take the time to help others.The world needs more people that feel and think like you do.Please keep up the great content.
Thank you for hanging out. 🙂
Very happy I found your channel.As the tears are running down my cheek I want to reach through the screen and give you a big hug!And I'm generally not the huggy type. I lost a nephew to suicide and my first cousin lost his adult son to it,so it hit kinda close. You're a great person for putting yourself through making this video.May God bless you for it! BTW , I too enjoy the Guinness!😃
Sorry for your loss. *Virtual hug* It's such a hard thing. 💔
I'm trying to think about how to write what I'm trying to say- Sorry about your uncle, that has to be hard and never knowing all of the answers. I haven't experienced it with a family member so I can't say, "I know how you feel". I've experienced it through years of working in public safety. Watching this gives me flash backs to three years ago when I saw a man kill himself, we were only a few feet apart. He never gave us the opportunity to try and resolve or work through the problems at hand. He already made his decision. About a year and a half ago a coworker had the same thing happen. He witnessed a very young person kill himself. This second person had his whole life ahead of him. Now there is a young child about the same age as mine with no dad.
Seeing somebody in the act of taking their own life, seeing the life go out of them, it tears you up. Days after I could feel my heart racing, my arms and hands were shaking and I had myself convinced that somebody was coming and we were going to have a gunfight. I didn't know who, but that's what was going to happen and I was ready. Coworkers said my demeanor shifted after that.
When my coworker went though the same thing, I kept close tabs on him. I could relate since I had been in the same situation also, so I actually knew what he was feeling and thinking, not assuming. It's bad enough to find someone after the fact, but worse to witness it. I hope that's something that nobody ever has to see.
We all have our down times I think. I know I do. It's been a hard winter for me. I was left and now I'm a single dad and nobody wants a 40 year old guy with a toddler. That is discouraging, but...grind through it and keep pushing on. Everything in life now has to be for this little boy. When things are shitty, I look at the blond hair and blue eyes and his new life. Lately he's having a major dad complex so that's more reinforcement of why I need to be here.
Somebody below said that the woods are their peace. So true. Being in the woods or along the ocean are the best places to be and we have plenty of that right here.
I cannot even imagine..... I'm thankful you were able to pick up and keep going after seeing something like that.
And the little guy, he needs you to hold the line for him now. Raising kids is tough, but rewarding. Sounds like he's got a good father taking care of him. 🙂
@@MaineGirlOutdoors Thanks. It took a little while to get back in the saddle.
Little guy...who's protesting taking his nap at the moment is the best little guy in the world. Everything is for him.
♥️
well done
