    Kim, I can't tell you how sorrowful the news of loss of your husband. May God bring you His hope for the future, for our hope is in Him. Keep turning to Him and cry out to Him when you are low or overwhelmed by life. God has gifted you in sharing to joy of roses with others like myself with a passion for roses. Kim I will remember you in my prayers, for God's wisdom and comfort in the days to come. ❤❤ 🌹

    Kimberley I am sorry for your loss of your husband Ken. It is so sad how you both were let down by the medical and legal systems. I pray for you and your family for healing. Mental health is still a stigma for all of us. It should not be that way. You are shunned by ignorant people who don't understand mental health crisis.

    Thank you so much for being strong enough to share your story. Hearing what has happened over this year for you is such a reminder to me that you never know the struggles that others could be going through. I would see your posts with that beautiful home construction and be so envious over it that I had to stop looking at your posts. They made me feel like my life was inadequate.
    I am rooting for you and your journey to healing, Kimberly! Please keep sharing along the way, as long as it continues to help lift you up.
    What a love story the two of you got to share. Ken sounds like he was an amazing person, and I know he’ll be watching you from above and wanting you to live your best life.
    Gardens are incredible healers and teachers, I can’t wait to see what yours does for you. ❤

      Thank you for the kind words of support and for being here with me through my journey.

    I am so, so sorry for your losses. My son took his own life 2.5 years ago, and I am just now able to work in the garden. When I garden I think-and those thoughts were so hard and sad I couldn't do it. Be kind to yourself, and get back to the garden when you are ready.

My heart just breaks for you all. You are the most gorgeous bright light Kimberly, and I thank you so so much for everything you have shared with us. You got me back into roses after a life changing series of losses in my own life and I can’t express what that has meant to me. I have rebuilt my life one rose at a time!

    Kimberly, my heart breaks for you. So many challenges in one year and so much heartbreak. My eldest suffered from Bipolar and it is a deadly disease. It grew too much for him and he also took his own life. As a result, his younger brother battles his own mental health issues. It is a family disease. We are 14 years and still I grieve. There is also gratitude for the time he was with us and the lessons we learned. The stigma and lack of concern about mental illness is shocking. It sounds like you have many fond memories to find comfort in as well as your roses. Know you have the support and caring of this community.

    I am truly sorry for all your losses this year. I resonated so much with your love story. I too feel blessed with a high school sweetheart and soul mate kind of love. What a GIFT. All your feelings are valid. Feel them and release them. Take your time to heal and your garden will be with you every step of the way. I admire your courage for sharing this profoundly sad time in your life. It really shows the strength you possess. It’s ok to not feel strong too. Sending you a big hug and shoulder to lean on❤

    I understand what your going through. My cousin found out the same diagnosis and went on medication and later overdosed. I can’t tell you how sad I’m for you. It’s not going to be easy, especially after losing someone. Being in the garden and keeping busy helps over time. It doesn’t go away,but but it gets easier. There will be tears here and there, but the beautiful memories you shared will become your savior. Having a family and friends support will help you some. Just keep busy. Ignore anyone who doesn’t help you through this tragedy, including your neighbors, if any. Whenever you want to cry, remember the blessings you had together. I know you won’t want to be in the garden or do anything, but push yourself. He believed in you and loved you-remember!

I am fairly new to your channel but have learned so much from you. You are in a climate very similar to mine, so I pay close attention to how your roses are growing. I have bought a lot of your favorites. I wish that I lived near you. I would come and do your weeding for you and help in any way with the grunt work, so that you could just enjoy the fun work. Take care dear one, and I will be praying that God will be your constant comfort and strength.

      Thank you so much for posting a comment. It warms my heart that you would help me. I would like to have company in the garden also as my pups don’t talk much ☺️
      Thank you for watching the videos and I can’t wait to share more blooms with you soon!

    Kimberly, I am so sorry for your loss and I can't imagine you have gone through such a hard time. You don't know me, but I want to tell you that without you, I wouldn't have the confidence to start my garden. I made notes of your video and I learned how to create Rose spreadsheet from you. Your smile stopped my tears, and I am so grateful you still trust in God, and you decided to return to your beautiful garden. Best of all, you have two cute puppies with you now. I trust He will guide you through. "He has made everything beautiful in his time". I will pray for you.

    So, so hard! Sending you the warmest hugs! I know God will give you the strength you need, when you need it! My garden was put in to share with my parents and when they passed, I could not go out into my garden either. But God was really good and gave me a new gardener to mentor and share with...allowing me to get back into my garden.

    I can only wish serenity and prosper emotional healing for you 🙏
    Nicole from Plantastic Cooking & Gardening went through something similar with her late husband last year.
    So it seems to be something some men go through when they get older 😢
    Please take as much time as you need.

    I've been following your videos for a year now and you are such a wonderful and remarkable person, I'm so so sorry. I can't begin to imagine how you must be feeling right now, thank you so much for sharing this story with us. As someone with a lot of very close family members who have their own challenges with mental health, I'm so incredibly heartbroken that you were both let down so badly by the health system after already the heart break of losing Dolores and the fire. You are such a light and speak of Ken with so much love, and understanding of his mental health, I can tell how much in love you both were and how wonderfully supportive you are of him. This video will surely have an impact on a lot of people, and as someone who takes medication for ADHD and a partner who also medicates, this is a huge reminder to always double check on what we are being told and given from health professionals. Sending you so much love.

    I am so, so sorry for your loss. It is such a brave thing, a sweet thing, and an emotionally taxing thing; to share your life in the bad/sad moments. You have saved someone today. You opened someones eyes today. We don't know you, but me and my daughter have to watch your videos and share a giggle. You are so lovely and humorous and when you get excited about a rose or plant; that camera zooms in so quick!! We say, "there she goes!" Ma'am. You are loved, as much as strangers can love another. Again; I am sorry for your losses; but am excited for your gains. Take your time. If you never post another video; it will be okay. You have shared more than you could ever know. Thank you!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💕

    I cried with you, deeply. I cannot...even...imagine...the multiple feelings you are dealing with. It's hard to know how to comfort someone when they lose a family member. When I lost my Dad 24 years ago, I felt like part of me had died. No one could comfort me for quite a while. But my Lord got me through it and reminded me of what is now and what is soon to come. My prayers are so with you. I hope you surround yourself with family and friends during this time of sadness, because that's what I wish I had done more of. God is with you and your family and I hope and pray you someday can hold those doctors accountable. You are a very strong woman.

    You are so incredibly brave to share this. I'm so sorry to hear of the great suffering you've experienced, and that of your husband. I find it incredulous that people who are struggling with their mental health are victimised instead of being shown compassion and treated appropriately by the relevant authorities. I'm sorry this happened to you and your husband. Given all your losses, I just think you are so amazing and a truly special soul. I hope you continue to heal and find peace, and renewed joy in your pets and garden. Sending love and a heartfelt hug x
