Thank you! I thought about you so much over the holidays. When things are bad and someone says "How are you", I usually turn the conversation right back to them and their doings--since that's usually what most people want to talk about anyway. I say something like, "I'm here--how are you? How is (this) going?" and soon they're back on their favourite topic, themselves.
I just want to say that I love you. It makes me cry to see how strong you are being. Sending a big bear hug and a reminder that she is never too far away. We're all here for you!
Grief is a process and it gets easier over time. The separation has a time limit you know, God made it that way. It's a supernatural thing, not a physical one anymore. Rest assured, Courtney is transformed now, and with you always❤️
James Ventress Thank you James. You’re right. There is sadness in my eyes. I see it too. I think it will always be there. I’ll just have to get used to my new eyes. Thanks for your thoughts. Peace and love to you.
OMG, I'm so sorry! I can't even comprehend what you must be enduring, day after day. We love you, your family loves you and God loves you. Please hold onto that. God bless you all.
My darling, dare I challenge you on your belief, but I think you'll be well again. The human spirit has more strength than we know. It may take years. It will be a tumultuous journey of developing the emotional agility to ride the waves of grief, and it will take a long time to plant the seeds for this to become your new normal, but you are a learned, strong, witty woman with a fabulous mind. I have no doubt that - even if it takes you long - you WILL be well again. The wounds are still fresh. Give it time before you diagnose yourself as permanently emotionally crippled. We'll see where we are in the years to come. Sending an abundance of love. You light up my day.
Brianna Bayon Brianna, how kind and thoughtful of you to send such an encouraging message. I really needed this today. I’m actually dreading the month of May. My precious daughter’s birthday is next month. She would have been turning 22 years old. Also, the last time that she attended a church service with me was when she flew up early from school and surprised me for Mother’s Day. Lastly, she would have been graduating from Harvard at the end of May. This is just excruciatingly agonizing....., but I’m managing to get through each day. Thank you for adding some positivity. Be blessed.
Brianna Bayon Brianna, how beautifully and well-articulated your message was!! I am stunned at your thoughtfulness to take the time to send me this. I’m actually going to save it and reflect back on it when I need some encouragement (which recently has been a daily need😔). I’m going to email you directly. You’re a precious gem! Be blessed.
@@fblairmd66 - This is so bizarre! You just entered my thoughts this very moment and I wondered in mind my how your family is doing after your response when I reached out. So what a coincidence that I just logged into UA-cam and see that you replied not 2 minutes ago! It's my pleasure. You're most welcome to reach out if ever you need support. It's vital that one taps into a valuable network of support in times of need. It's the most self-loving thing we can do. Recuperate. :)
I'm so glad to view ur vids. I admired you from the first one I've seen long ago. My admiration has only grown. Your honesty and personality impacts so many people. Thx and take care.
Doc, I was just surfing the net and ran across a picture of Oprah and it struck me like never before. You have WAY more talent than she does. You could be the next Oprah. Truth is, I think you already are. Think about it.
Bob Mustari You know what’s funny? I’ve always envied Oprah and wanted to have her talk show. Actually, I wanted a show exactly like the one Dr. Oz has. He beat me to it! I rarely watch his show bc I’m green with envy! Confession is good for the soul. 😉 When Oprah started her network OWN, she had a contest for someone to win their own talk show. I didn’t hear about it until late in the competition. One of my patients said they thought I should submit something, so I did. The winner was determined by how many votes they got from the public. Obviously I didn’t win. 😒
@@fblairmd66 Doc, I think you know that you have unlimited potential. The only thing standing in your way is YOU. I can't even imagine how popular the OZ+OPRAH show would be. You need to find an agent to get you in to see the right people. You have 11K subs here who agree. One piece of advice: NEVER TALK RELIGION.
Oh my God, I'm so, so, so, sorry for your loss. The loss of a child is just not supposed to happen. Praying for strength for you, and for blessings for your daughter's soul. May she rest in Eternal Peace.
There really isn’t anything on this earth that can ease the pain that you feel right now, the more people say “I’m so glad that you’re feeling better “ really hurts more. You are in deep grief, only our Heavenly Father can really ease this kind of hurting, Please remember how many people LOVE you, You know what is happening to our children from the beginning. I am praying deeply for you ❤️🙏
My reply is usually, "I'm hanging in there, how are you doing?" Because mostly that's all I do is hang on. And like Anna said below, transitioning to how the person who's asking is, gets the subject changed quickly enough to avoid details. Wishing you peace and love, doctor.
I hadnt seen any new videos of u since finding out about your daughter.And i really was wondering how u were and hoping u were dealing with it ok.Ofcourse you`re never going to forget about it. It seems so unfair,u being a kids` pediatrician,u help kids everyday,and obviously you`re a kind and loving person,so im sure u make kids feel better just by your caring attitude. U are a wonderful person,i could just cry for u thinking of what happened.Death scares me so bad that we could be gone at any time no matter who we are,where we are,ect. The only thing we can do is try and go on and just try to be a good person in this life. I love watching your videos and hoping u are "ok." Even if you`re just "ok," its an improvement and it takes a long time to get passed something like that (of all things to go through what happened to you).As time goes on we dont forget but we have no choice but to try the best we can to get passed it and keep going and to just try and be a good person which u are
Oh my, when you said you are "a great actress" and that you "are always on"--those are the same exact phrases my sister-in-law used when she was going through the loss of her college-aged son. You really would have to go through the motions in order to get through the day. It will be 14 years in May that Derrick died and though it gets better, that pain will unfortunately always be with you, though not quite as intense. That's what my s-i-l tells me. My prayers are sent for you and your family. If I may ask, how are your sons and husband doing? I pray for them as well and I hope you all keep the lines of communication open for each other. And never stop talking of your daughter as that seems to help (again, that's something my sister-in-law tells me). As far as the Virginia thing goes..............(crickets chirping)............................(still chirping)...............I don't know what to say about that. Politicians. Sigh.
What I've learnt is to go day by day its never easy. I've lost my v close family member & my best friend plus also my other half unexpectedly in two of the 3 cases. I can't imagine how it is to lose a child however I know you are strong & bring so much to those who love you. Like your daughter did. Maybe like me just remember the good times & hopefully you will be together again one day when your work is done here with Lord calling you home when it's time.
@@fblairmd66 thank you for keep making videos. I really enjoy them it's a dose of reality for on the Internet. Always good content & sincerity. Take good care of yourself
Eccedentesiast I'm so sorry for your pain and grief, today i was watching a video on youtube about the medium Phil Quinn, about how the passing family Members can still connect with the living, it gaves me a little Comfort.
Beautiful sentiments and so honest. God has given you a ministry to the grieving through this. A verse from a favorite Psalm: “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalm 73.26 - May God continue to strengthen you through this time.

You are a strong and intelligent woman. If anyone can heal from that magnitude of a loss, I'd imagine it would be someone like you 🙏
I just want to say that I love you. It makes me cry to see how strong you are being. Sending a big bear hug and a reminder that she is never too far away. We're all here for you!
Cameron R Awww, thank you, Cameron. Thanks for the hug and the love. God bless you.
