when Kathie said...i didn't lose him, I know where he is and who he's with. I teared up
When you're grieving there's definitely a part of you that doesn't want to get better. Almost feels like a betrayal to get better. Glad she brought that up. But there's always something worthwhile to live for.
I lost my beloved Larry 5 months ago and this is so needed. It was like a balm for my soul. We're here. Whatever comes. I LOVE that
Hello 👋 Sheila, Wow 😲 that's sound great and lovely to hear from you my dear 🤗 I like the way you put down your thoughts on note, you really seems so kind and interesting lady 😀 How are you doing Sheila?
Bobby seems like such a wonderful woman, and Kathy, she’s such a gem💎
Hello 👋 how are you doing Jasmine?
What a beautiful message! To be loved is the greatest gift we can receive and to love is the greatest gift we can give! God Bless you and your son, Bobby❤️. God’s got you!
Everything she said at the end about love was incredible. So beautiful. Please keep shedding light and hope into this world of struggle. Some people are so lost and these small segments are gems that may positively impact at least one person ❤
My husband of nearly 45 yrs passed a couple of weeks ago from Alzheimers/Dementia. This is by far the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with, next to losing my grandparents. To say the least, I'm not doing well with the "dealing with it" part. I don't really want to accept that he's gone, but I know I have to. I have a very strong faith, so I am depending faithfully on the Lord to help me through this. I'll never regret spending the last 4+ years taking care of him 24/7, but I'd give almost anything to have him back. The Lord knows the number of our days on this earth, so I know it was time that He called him home.
Our kids are grown and have families of their own. I get the feeling that our boys are not able to deal with it too well either, plus they live a good bit away, and I don't think dealing with their weepy mom helps them any. I try to be strong for them, but I've just never been any good at being able to control my emotions.
This video was a definite blessing. I wish I could handle this with poise and grace, but I just don't know how. My Heart is shattered, completely. Thank you all so much for sharing, and I apologize for over-sharing. Take care and God bless you all.
Deb I'm sorry.... God bless you...
I love my Son this last January. He was hit by a car while riding his bicycle to work. I am still working through my grief. He was my only Son. God showed me Him in Heaven without his disabilities. What a kiss from Heaven
Hello 👋 Lisa, Wow 😲 that's sound great and lovely to hear from you my dear 🤗 I love your words, like the way you put down your thoughts on note, you really seems so kind and interesting lady 😀 How are you doing Lisa?
I loss my son in June 2020 I admire what these women are doing to encourage others but I think the loss of a spouse & a child is so much different! 💔
I’m so very sorry you’ve had to endure such pain! Praying for you now.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Pray for who you want in your life Bobbie. God will answer.
Amen.
Thank you for sharing this for others to see. It is needed. There should be more people like you.
Not EVERYONE gets fully restored, that’s the truth. That said, very happy you guys have been restored.
Hello 👋 Canadas, Wow 😲 that's sound great and lovely to hear from you my dear 🤗 I love your words, like the way you put down your thoughts on note, you really seems so kind and interesting lady 😀 How are you doing Canadas?
I love what Kathie Lee said...
And it's beautiful how these ladies are there for each other 💕 🙏
What a beautiful testimony for all of us who are enduring a great loss.Thank you all for sharing.
I have gf who was married to her husband since she was 17yrs old. He died from Covid in Jan 2021. They were married around 41yrs, no kids. She was devastated, all she did was cry. My heart broke for her. She didn't ever see herself with anyone else. She didn't want anyone, ever! She never had to work but now she does so she got a job, ended up meeting this guy at work after only about 8months. It's been over a yr and they are still seeing each other. At the moment of heartbreak and devastation, you can't imagine a future without that person but love can happen when you least expect it.
It’s good you all shared that part of your heart with others because there are many who suffer through some mighty rough days of feeling that deep gut wrenching loss and sometimes it’s for a child or another loved one but I know my friend she and her husband have really rough days trying to make it through because loosing their only son which was their only child was a whole lot to bare and not to mention they had already had others in both the families passing away. This has been a long long prayer journey plus their grandson died too. I believe prayer can build a strong bridge to walk on by the thousands and I believe people like you getting others together and talking about the grief is a helping hand in the right direction. So kudos to you‼️‼️
This is very meaningful overall and definitely meaningful for me to see at this moment.
Deep respect to each of you for your ordeals. They each could be their own movie, no doubt. I believe in the gawdwinks too and hope all you ever need or want come your way.
I truly believe love comes to you.💜
You need your own healing not necessarily a new love don't focus on that You are your own hero!
Bobbie you are beautiful inside and out!
My husband, Bill who I was married to for 33 years died of Alzheimer’s on August 12. I try to keep busy but there are days when it just gets to me.
I was with my boyfriend for 18 years. We became engaged in June. He was diagnosed with Parkinson a few years. He only had a slight tremor in one of his hands. A new doctor prescribed a new medicine he didn't need because this medicine he was taking was working fine. The new medication had all kinds of serious side effects. He started having severe depression and terrible anxiety. Was taken off of it after a week. Still had these terrible problems. Couldn't see a way out. He killed himself on 09-14-22. I am devastated.
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and my prayers. I am praying for God to give you the strength that you will need to get through what may be the most difficult time of your life. I cannot even begin to imagine the emotional devastation you must be living with since your boyfriend passed away. God Bless You!
I’m so sorry for your loss.
@@loriryan2045 thank you.
@@robinr5561 thank you.
I am so sorry, may the Lord keep you close. Please look up Kayla Stoecklein
Beautiful
All of these women keep busy. You have to have a purpose/meaning in life. Loving your soul mate is a gift in life , but we come into this world alone and when its our time we leave alone. Make the most of what you have on this earth today it could be gone like a puff of smoke tomorrow. We all have something to leave on earth Tomorrow the sun comes up and will set. When you love you will hurt♥️
Love this...
Very inspiring message. I lost my husband Tom 21 years ago from a sudden heart attack when he was age 49 and I was 44. Grief is a journey that those who lost a loved one share, but that journey for each of is unique. The greatest treasure my husband gifted me with which I did not realize until after he passed which helped me move forward was that all through our 15 year marriage he encouraged me to be an independent woman and to pursue friends and interests outside our marriage as well as dedicate the time and efforts needed to flourish in my nursing career. And although it took me time to step back into those things as I needed to work through first the most painful parts of the grief process, I knew those friends, activities, and my career were there waiting for me to engage in again that would give purpose and meaning to my life. Several years after my husband passed I was content with my life as a now again single woman, but as fate would have it I met through the purchase of a car a very kind man that after several years of dating we went on to marry. And this man also delivered me a great treasure since I was unable to have children with my late husband, and that treasure was an adult step-daughter that I could not live more than if she were my own. And through her I from their births have two grand daughters now ages 9 & 12 that in my wildest dreams never did I imagine I would have the chance in this life to be a grandmother. We humans were created in the image and likeness of God, and the likeness part is that we are hard wired to love all that God created. And it is in the extending and receiving love is what heals our grief and fuels the soul and body back into life when we lose the ability to extend and receive love from those we have loved the most.
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Why did Kathy get shut off after half a sentence? The others were able to share. Was it because she has strong faith?
I think it's because she is black.. everyone is racist!
How did your husband die? I lost my Daniel August 11 2020 lung cancer and struggle every day.
🙏🙏🙏🕯🕯🕯🪷🪷🪷
Kathie Lee should give advice on grief her husband cheated on her …
She has ruined her face..trying to look young..
Sad to me..
Way to much cosmetic surgery for Mrs Gifford.
And they forgot the neck. I didn't think she was that old. But she always looked good before. Maybe she didn't need cosmetic surgery.
Kathie Lee has a beautiful spirit. She never said she was perfect. I think she looks great! I hope and pray she continues to share her heart and wonderful faith in the Lord Jesus Christ! My son went to heaven 9/30/2017 and I miss him everyday. But Jesus is the great healer. 🙏💜
@@brendavaldovinos3152 Not sure the Lord was a fan of altering the aging process or your natural appearance was of his messages. Looking as good as we can and taking good care of ourselves and others is a better message. Surgery does not open the gates of Heaven!
Has nothing to do with what she's experiencing.....God Bless Her..
Too bad you think the outward appearance is of importance as the subject discussed...Hope and Pray to God and get right with Jesus before you know exactly what they're going through..
Bobbie is such a beautiful woman ❤ God Bless you ❤
I love them all. Such strong woman!!❤️❤️❤️
I can't believe how timely this is for me since the first anniversary of my husband's passing was just a few days ago. Wonderful I sight from ladies who have gone on this journey themselves. I thank God every night for leading me to my husband and giving me 40 years of his love.
I now know what grief feels like I lost my mom one year ago she was my best friend and now I have no one this has been such a toll on my life please tell me what I can do to start to heal I need help to be able to move forward
There's sooo many who feel the same. Reach out to them. You've got enough good memories to carry you through for a lifetime. Use them to make new ones for you, and for those who need it. 💖
One step at a time. Do one thing each day for someone else in memory and honor of your mom. Something as simple as a smile or a word of kindness. Lean on God. Ask Him to help you. My mom passed a month ago. The pain and sadness is so deep. We will see our moms again when we are reunited with them in Heaven. Until then, one step at a time. 🙏🏻
In my journey with grief i found it to be an extraordinarily difficult thing to navigate because of all the overwhelming emotions that come with it. My mom died in 2016 from cancer just weeks before she was supposed to turn 50 and after the initial sadness i became angry and had these feelings of bitterness because i struggled to understand why cancer had to take my mom from me and my brothers when we were not ready to lose her. But i sought the help of a wonderful therapist who helped me get through that period of time where the grief was really heavy and it created a cloud of depression. Eventually i did come to a place of understanding where i did feel some sense of peace and comfort to know that my mother was no longer suffering from the disease that had significantly changed her way of life and i wouldn't wish anybody like her to have to go through that kind of pain
Kathy is a little over the top. I think she is a good person but no one is that holy. Too syrupy sweet. Wish her good luck.
♡♥️Tribulations for testimony to others expieriencing the same. Sweet Bobbi, protect your heart, not "from" something, but for God to take up His place even more so there.♡♥️💖 You are such a blessing, a beautiful blessing! 🙌🏼praises to Him💖
Beautiful...just beautiful. Excellent to watch.
Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by an upsetting event happening in their lives that takes them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. Why are so many people across the world suddenly having their appendix removed? The appendix is associated with “being in fear for one’s life”. The HEALING phase is the rupture/inflammation.
While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......
I lost my wonderful husband 4 mos ago. The pain is unbearable. Thank you.
I lost my husband 5 years ago. I have been grieving since. Some days are better than others. I am learning to live with the loss and to move forward. I keep faith.
She’s so uncomfortable.
Grief is a monster.
I recently lost my mother, my twin flame. My world. Seeing this segment gave me so much belief on my healing process. I've been afraid to listen to others experiences because I feared my own heart continuing to break. These ladies gave me a gem that on the other side of grief is love. I needed to hear those stories of love and loss. 🫶🏽🙏🏽💛
