My wife and i began our journey together 61 years ago. We were married for 58 years. Then she died unexpectedly and I can’t tell you how hard it is to face her not being here with me. I basically knew nothing else but her and me. I will never get over it .
I understand you more than you know. I feel you and I feel for me. I had my husband for 30 years and married for 23. Weeks were always together so it’s heartbreaking
@@tacx1 She is still there. She will being looking at you with that same love. People never really leave you, they step into the next world like someone stepping in another room. They still love you and you should still love them.
thank you for sharing. my wife of 51 years passed two years ago from pancan. i did not know this level of sadness existed. there is never enough time. i sincerely appreciate your comments.
My partner, love and true soulmate Glenn passed suddenly just 19 days ago. The quietness is what I will never ever get used to. I am still in shock and expect him to walk through the door constantly. I find much comfort in videos like this and have found myself diving deep into information regarding the afterlife. He was my future, to face my own now without him seems impossible. I am thankful for my vivid lucid dreams of him and the messages I’ve received through meditation and music. I am forever changed and I don’t understand how I will face the rest of my life now… but I must… for both of us. I love you Glenn, I always will. Please come get me when it’s my time to join you.
i came across your touching comment in the grieving of love ones post here on face book. Well am really sorry about that okay 😒☹and I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but life must move on because death is inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday...
I’m so, so sorry. 😢 I feel the same way too. My situation was a bit different, as I had to break up with the love of my life because he was killing himself with alcohol. It was killing me too, and I had to choose between me and him. It was the worst, hardest decision I had to make because I knew he wouldn’t make it. He died 3 years after he moved out of my house, and we were still very close friends. He was my best friend and my family. Now I’m alone in the house we used to live in as a couple, and I have so many memories. I feel like my heart is heavy everyday and I’m not myself anymore. I don’t know that I ever will be. I’m sending love and hugs to you. The pain of this is overwhelming. I can only hope he’s at peace and that we will meet again someday. May peace and comfort find you. 💖🙏🏼🕊️
My husband died suddenly and unexpectedly in January. It was tragic as we was out walking our dogs in a remote place when he collapsed. Its still very raw for me and I've been suffering with PTSD since it happened. The things you spoke about resonated with me. sharing the same feelings and thoughts, Thank you for the video
It's been 3 Years since my Beautiful Wife passed away. I wish I had your positive Energy, Holly. I still struggle with the Loss & Depression every Day of my Life. For some of us, it's just not that easy to move on. We were together for 26 Years. I see her - I hear her - the slightest thought or picture of her, breaks my Heart. She was my World and I really did take her for Granted. Hopefully someday I can also say "I lived a Good Life and I was Happy" - but that still seems so very far away.
I lost my wife a year and a half ago to Cancer, and I'm still having a very hard time. I think the worst thing other than missing her is that when she died, everyone said " if you need anything, just call me." That lasted about 2 weeks, and after that, they couldn't be bothered. So I have to go it alone. But the one good thing is that I recently reconnected with a friend I haven't seen since the 80s, and they are now being a friend and giving me a little help so I appreciate that. But I just miss my wife.
@@Supportdog2020 I am in a similar situation and understand how you feel. I don't think I can ever recover from this and I am still relatively young. 😥
I’m still in shock and lost, my wife of 40 years have recently passed on November 7 2023 of a respiratory illness! I lost my first born son in 2020 from a pulmonary embolism! I’m devastated but must pull it together for my youngest son! Even though he is 33 it’s just him and I left and trying to move on is going to be my greatest challenge yet! But being 60 years old I know it’s not going to be an easy road ahead! ❤🙏🙏
I lost my husband of 22.5 years one month ago. He was only 48. Stage 4 stomach cancer. He fought with everything he had for our family. My girls and I miss him every second of the day. Thanks for this comforting video. 💔💔💔
I think of our life every day, met & dated when I was 16, married at 18, together for 63 years a beautiful & loving life - indeed I was blessed but will spend rest of my life missing the love of my life.
I feel like I wrote this. I have the same experience and was married to my husband the same amount of years. We have to put in the hands of our Lord. My husband died unexpectedly. So hard.
you never get over it, you are correct when you say you build your new life around this massive hole in the middle of your heart/soul. I do dream of my husband often and although waking up from those dreams always throws me, I hang on to him that way.
Faith does not protect you from pain and adversity, faith helps you get through pain and adversity. Please stay on the path in front of you. You will help more people than you can ever know just by being… Namaste 🙏
I lost my wife after35 years and I am devastated I started dating after 6 months but I am still very depressed and I can’t believe anyone would want to be around me I am struggling financially as well I am just glad for company once a week
My husband died Feb and I didn’t find out till April he had gone to Venezuela he had stopped calling me I cry every single day I know it’s going to take like 3 years for me to stop crying! I knew he was dead when I started dreaming pall bearers in the Catholic church
I just lost my husband one month ago. I went to the cemetery crying every day……. Each I went to church I cried there……Each day and each night has been so long and so sad….. He suddenly left us, my 3 month old daughter and me in surgery room…..how can I see him again?
I am 41, lost my husband 2 years back, but as time passes on the intensity of grieving and sorrow is increasing day by day especially when I am free or going to sleep at night. Not a single day passed without his memories. Talking about him is tough as it always make me cry. Heads on to you talking about it. I still really don't know how to come out of this. Still not able to accept this hard truth.
I know this feeling my dear.Its the hardest most debilitating experience to lose the love of your life your soul mate, your best friend and confidante.I hope it gives you some strength to know we are many who are bereaved and feeling the raw pain and the feeling of brokeness having such as is the most devastating of trials we have to experience in this life.I comfort myself with the belief that we see all our loved ones when our own time comes and knowing that even though the love of my life is gone I know that Gods love will see me through till I see her again.God bless sister, stay strong and know that our loved ones don't want us to stay stuck in grief it can also hold our lost loves back in spirit.They wait for us in god's kingdom and look out for us on other side X.
❤❤❤❤ they say love is the only thing that lasts... it is so hard... we are all here grieving and we miss our loved one so much, I miss my partner...it has been 2 years and 5 months now. Even though it feels you are around here somehow, it is hard to get used to this new life
I love and miss my husband as well. I lost my husband 2 mons.ago. its a terrible terrible feeling..i do not know how i am going to manage..without my true love. He was everything to me. I miss everything about him ..i had him for 23 years .. maried for 5 years.. He admitted himself into the hospital and never came back out. My world had been shattered. S.I.P. Ken..I love you so much.
Thank you for the video. My wife - Lina - passed away on Dec 10 after 47 years of marriage. I really miss her but I am thinking in some of the ways that you mentioned in your video. i miss her and have many fond memories of our time together. I do not know if i will get over her - probably not, but i am learning how to live without her. Not fun, but something I have to do. It is a learning curve I have to go through, I do not like it but your comments have helped, so thank you. Have a great day and fond memories of your loving husband.
I lost my husband jim 2 years ago this coming june. We were married 48 years. I miss him so much. My step children have been a blessing. I still talk to him and hopefully he is watching over me. Thank you for expressing your feelings and your girls are fortunate to have you .
Watching this the day after losing my husband to a fast aggressive cancer. I spent 6 weeks every day in hospital with him watching him deteriorate by the day and being unable to help and watching him turn from a strong invincible man into a vulnerable person who’s body was gradually being destroyed by this horrible disease. I think I’m still in denial and I’m scared of what’s to come on this grief path when I am already so broken. It’s so scary. Thank you for this video and sharing
I lost both my parents in February 2024. It’s surreal. You will be reunited over the other side with your loved ones that have transitioned. I do believe heaven is a better place. And they are around you all the time. The sad part is not experiencing them in the physical form.
Wow, I’m so relieved to have found this video. I’m still hurting after losing my husband 5 years ago. We were together for 13 years and extremely close. I feel heartbroken, alone and depressed every day. I miss him so much. You touched on a lot of things I go through on a daily basis
Sorry for your loss Holly. It has been 6 months since I lost my husband to cancer. I surround myself with pictures of him, which makes me feel close to him. I miss him and will love him always. Sometimes it just feels hard to believe that he is gone but I know that he exists in another dimension. I am grateful that he is at peace now.
I lost my husband on the 15th of October 2022. It’s unbelievable that he is not here, sad, anger, emptiness, even jealousy that other people are together and me and my dear Alfie is not here and won’t come back to me physically and emotionally, breaks my heart. I’ve never had easy in life and I’m 40 , Alfie was 74, but we never saw the age difference. For me I will not find anyone like him anymore, he was one of a kind. I miss you Alfie very much 😢😢😢
I lost my boyfriend almost 6 months ago while i was 3 months pregnant. I am 9 months pregnant atm and it is just horrible. I can t imagine a life without him.. every day is a struggle. People say time heals all wounds but that's not true, you only learn to live with the pain but you will never accept what happened..
I lost my husband 11 months ago. We were together 30 years. Every day is a struggle for me too. Feel like I'm just surviving. I don't want to even be here but I look at our children's faces and know he would want me to stay for them. I'm assuming you have his baby now and He would want you to pour his love into your child. Time doesn't heal all wounds but time plus God can. Blessings to you.
@@Chukartramp that is possibly the least empathetic and most unkind thing there is to say. You don’t know the first thing about this person, or her life. I am a widow, and when people make dismissive, generalizing remarks like this, I block them from my life. How is that supposed to be helpful? You know it isn’t.
That's how it was with my husband and I. He was my Clark Kent. I just lost him 8 days ago to covid pneumonia. Your true love together will never go away and you will never have any regrets. So many hugs 🫂 to you both. God Bless

I lost my husband a month ago due to dengue. He was kidney transplant survivor and a warrior in life. His will power was very strong and he lived every moment of life happily and by helping people in need. Can't believe we lost him due to dengue and it's complications at just 30 yrs . This is very painful to accept and live a life without him.
I so appreciate your video. Lost my wife just 4 days ago completely unexpectedly. Im so devastated and cant see how im going to get thru this. Immeasurable pain.
Just come across this channel, grief is horrendous, currently trying to deal with the loss of my wife in April 2024. She was the love of my life, I am broken and trying to find ways to get by. Following her bucket list of trips on the motorbike is my way of dealing with it for now, which I’m starting soon. I’ve also decided to make my journey into a UA-cam channel to try and share, in the hope it will resonate with someone someday, like this video did with me ❤
Im currently going through the news of Stage three cancer for my husband, The emotions are on 100%, I have never felt these before. I feel bad for my thoughts and guilty for all that is going on, because my response is also shocking, disappointing, sounding and feeling like Im crazy. He feel and broke his back, arm, and shoulder. I watching him deteriorate in front of me and watching him go through the pain. Im feeling emptiness right now. I am trying to be his cheer leader and all things positive, but inwardly, Im suffering. This is all heart breaking. Thanks for sharing.
I lost my Fiancee to Covid four months ago. Her demise was slow n painful. I never left her side. I did everything for her. Now I visit her at the cemetery every day. Never missed a day. If I'm to busy during the day I face my fear n go at night to see her. The Holidays we're torture. Everyday I cry. I'm not living anymore just waiting. I just want to be with her. I will never be with another woman as long as I live. I'm 65 now so hopefully I'm not here much longer. She was my whole world. She still is
I lost my Love 15 years ago… and NO the pain hasn’t changed. It doesn’t get better over time, it doesn’t dull in intensity. TIME has not healed this. I am forced to live with the constant pain. Not one day goes by that I don’t think of him, or stop missing him. Those who had time (due to illness) with the knowledge of death to come.. was not granted to me. He died unexpectedly and was here in the morning.. gone by noon. Is a different animal all together. Not discounting the pain of loss as it can’t be measured.. but I didn’t even know that his death was on the schedule that day. Time doesn’t heal all wounds for everyone… it never did for me. Thank you for sharing your experience. Mine was and is quite different. After many many attempts to find some joy or positive things about love and loss…I come to the conclusion that there is NO relief and there won’t be until I can join him. There IS NO COMFORT. That is the price to have loved?
My husband and I were joking and laughing on Thursday evening, but on Friday at 7am, he was dead. No warning. No symptoms. How in just a few short hours did I lose him? Why did he leave the kids and me? We made plans for that weekend. He was not ready to go. My husband passed at the end of August 2024, and I think about him every second of the day. I will never understand why he died that way. I am angry about it.
I lost my husband a month ago due to Covid. The pain is immense. He was fit, young with no medical problem. We were planning our family. But all dreams crumbled. There is no pain bigger than loosing spouse.😔
@@kaustabhimaiti2326 I lost my husband unexpectedly a week ago. They said it was pneumonia, but I think it’s all Covid related. I’m deeply hurt and confused. I miss him so much.
I lost my husband unexpectedly 2 years ago. It takes time to move forward, I’m slowly moving in that direction. I’m living my life helping my children and grandchildren. It keeps me engaged in life. It’s what I would have expected my husband to have done if it had been me. It took me quite a while to realize this. He would have wanted our family to thrive and enjoy our lives together, even if it is without his presence. I feel him around us, encouraging us to live on and love each other. I feel his approval and know we will one day meet again. I know he will say, good job looking out for the family while we were apart!
You're spot on dear lady... spot on. It is an unbelievable suffering and strange thing to have the most significant person in your life just suddenly... gone. It's been two years for me now and it is just still so unreal that he is not here with me anymore. The anger and frustration can get overwhelming. You're right though - there is not a single thing we can do about it. And that can be maddening. I do believe in Heaven, but I still feel the feelings that you feel when you mention how you are sad for him and the things he is missing with his children, etc. I often feel sad for my husband as well, because he SO wanted to be here with me and living a life with me. We had just gotten our land cleared to build our dream home - and he died before we ever got to build it and make memories. That crushed my heart and soul. For both of us. And - that is SO amazing that your husband also had Autism / Asperger's - my husband did too!! I have it as well but my husband had it a little stronger than I do and I absolutely understand the bold and brutally honest comments. I miss those remarks he would make so, so much. I just wanted to let you know that my heart connected with yours here. I feel your words so deeply. My heart goes out to you.
I lost my soulmate husband 5 years ago it blows my minds no how for me I am still crying everyday since he left this earth . He got done surfing and went to hug me and had a widow maker heart attack . Following the the loss of him I lost my mother . It’s still too much to take in . When you say he just disappeared . I mourn my future . We were beyond happy planning on having kids and he was taken from me . He left me a video of him saying Just Breathe . In fact his phone was a diary of our love . I’m turning 39 If I didn’t have my husbands service dog Noah and my mini golden doodle I would not be here.
I lost my fiance to heart disease two years ago. Knew her 17 years she passed right before our wedding date. I remember going in hospital and saying goodbye. Rip Sonja I'll always love you
I lost my darling husband/carer only 5 months ago and I’m still reeling from his loss. We were together in years. It does not get any easier to be alone either. I feel for everyone who has lost their husband or wives or a child. I also lost my only brother 3 yrs ago. Very hard going.
I’m so sorry to all of you who are suffering and try to send love and positivity your way. Been struggling for other reasons and still figuring out how to deal with the death of my dad 3 years ago idk.
Praying for everyone hurting. I lost my husband three weeks ago, God is real and look into alot of near-death experiences many of them are very helpful. God is who helps us when we pray and keep on praying, Holy Bible Gospel of John chapter 3 verse 16
Thank you so much for sharing- it has helped me to hear your story and experience. My husband passed away almost a year ago and the pain, sadness and grief has only been escalating. I've never felt pain like this- it's so excruciating. He passed away suddenly of a heart attack at only 37. Our youngest just turned 1. My children's pain has only added to mine- it breaks my heart to see them hurting like this and to know that my youngest 2 won't even remember their daddy. All they will have are pictures.
I lost my husband my first love, my first everything. He was my first boyfriend at 15 he was 16 we had 4 children together and we were married 30 years. He died from Lyme disease unexpectedly. He passed away March of 2018 my body and health are a mess because of it. I ache for him he was the best human on this planet. I feel lost at 48.

I have been widowed as well august 2013. There have been so many changes in my life and in myself. Not necessarily for the better. I miss my husband so. We never forget them and despite what people think , we never “get over it “ You can think you’re prepared beforehand but the truth is you can’t prepare for this. Never I tried to fool myself too.

Just came across your video. In 3 days it will be the first anniversary of my husband Ian's death. So many of the things you said resonate and are aligned with my own thoughts and experiences. For example, I don't want to celebrate his death date every yr, I understand he's gone but a part of my mind finds it very hard to comprehend he no longer exists. How can he just be gone. We had 40 beautiful yrs together and like your husband mine died in hospice. He was an atheist. He was a teacher, a part time scientist. A loving father. I once believed in heaven now I like to think he is an energy that might still touch my life in different forms. I'm still struggling to live fully again. It's hard to accept and adapt to a new life without him. You have given me some good concepts to contemplate. Thank you for posting.
Wow, good video. I lost my spouse to leukemia after 37 years of marriage. I have used the word “weird” to describe my feelings. The quietness, the decluttering, sometimes guilt. Acceptance and letting go. Yes. My wife was getting hospice at home and I was there with her to the last breath. That was weird. God bless you, Mattie. 😌
Yes, I did need to hear this. My hubby had Lewy Body Dementia with Parkinsonism, so I totally understand watching them disappear day by day. Some sites are so negative, I can't do that. Thank you ❣️
I lost my fiancé suddenly in his sleep due to Covid on February 20. He is my soulmate & I miss him so much. We were together for 11 years & I feel lost right now. He changed my life; I didn’t even get to say goodbye to him. I just don’t know what to do right now. Thank you for this video 💙
@@Ana77770 I recently lost my husband and this pain is like no other. He was active and healthy not 1 health issue but passed away from covid. We have 1 son and he can’t understand why it had to be his dad. We’re beyond hurting. There is nothing that can explain this pain. I’m so heartbroken and lonely. Any tips on what may have helped you? Or anyone else reading this?

Thank you Holly - So well said. I lost my wife 2 years ago after 35 wonderful years. You said so many things that I feel as well. Your perspective helps me to see the big picture, the truth, and the fact that we cannot change what has happened. Dwelling on the sadness does not help. My life is good and my daughters are very close - thank goodness, they are wonderful. They get sad as well but we are a good support system to each other. The richness of my wife’s personality, her gigantic heart that loved children, animals, older people and everyone every day has lived on in all of us that knew her. I’m especially more gentle and kind and loving toward everyone around me since she has passed. Thanks again and I’m looking forward to more of your posts.
Everyone has, is or will go through storms in life, but the important thing is who is in the boat with you. I'd like to share my best friend's story to help you know how to have true peace and comfort in your storm. God bless you. Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** This testimony has been made into a gospel tract.

I just stumbled across this video and I can’t believe how much I relate to everything you’re saying. My partner of 10 years took his own life a little over a month ago it is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever had go through. I’ve been overwhelmed with support and I yet feel so alone. Thank you for giving a little hope for the future.
I'm so sorry for your loss, such is life we've all lost our loved ones in death, but life goes on, I lost my partner 3yrs ago, I understand how you feel, I'd love to talk to you more if you don't mind, it'd be nice if you just say hi here is my number +1206-237-2054 😇
Thank you for making this video. The love of my life, Shannon passed away 3 weeks ago today. We were together for 23 years, married for 22. I am beyond consumed with grief.
Ian so sorry for your loss. I lost my fiancé, my soulmate ,on feb 20th suddenly in his sleep. I wasn’t able to say goodbye; this is very hard & hurts in a way that cannot be described , but I know you & i can get through this. It will get better for us both💙
@@mia_bellz my condolences. It’s so hard to lose a soul mate. I completely understand your pain and I’m sorry. We are both part of a shitty club. Send you internet hugs.
sorry for your loss KP i lost my wife of 21 years last christmas eve. it was a horrible time, holding her in my arms for her last breath. i love her forever since then i met a wonderful woman (widowed) and we are engaged. My wife would be so proud of me life is not easy, but its all we have. Make the most of your life....one person died....not two
@@craigoster6408 Wow, so much has happened this year. I also met a widow...and we are in love. Making plans to move in together ❤️. You are so right...one person died, not 2.
@@mia_bellz i came across your touching comment in the death of love ones post here on you tube. Well am really sorry about that okay 😒☹and I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but life must move on because death is inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday.....
Thank you so much for posting this. Hope you are still all well and happy. My husband of 24 years died 4 months ago, so I am new to all the grief etc but I got a lot from your video.
Everyone deals with it differently but I found it really important to not hide from the pain. Face the pain of loss and let it run its course. Don’t let it get behind you. Deal with it don’t hide from it. Know that it’s going to pass. You won’t be who you were before but you will be okay! All the best, B
lost my wife of 19 years of a sudden seizure just two weeks shy of what would have been her 49th bday. I love you and miss you so f/n much. The powers that be took you from me and now they are tearing me apart as if I am guilty of something.
I just stumbled upon this channel and I'm glad I found it. There is not enough out there on grief. It's such a unique journey for each person. I lost my husband back in Jan 2019 so I'll be hitting that 2 year mark soon. I still have days I'm in such disblief that he is not here, so unreal. So I can relate to alot of what you said Holly. Thanks for the validation.

Dear Holly, You put into words much of what I am going through. I was with my wife for 42 years and at her bedside for the 2 months before she died from sepsis in 2019. Thank you for making this video. It will get me through Christmas after a year of virtual isolation during the pandemic.
I didn't lose a husband but he was going to be my fiance. After 7 yrs of only friend then the last year romantic. My heart is breaking. He was the only an yo truly love me. I really pray he knows im still here loving him
My brother-in-law died last week. He married my sister two months ago, but they've been together for almost ten years. She is so lost and broken and it's so infuriating feeling this helpless. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I lost my wife in Feb of this years it's been a month yesterday and she was my world we were together for 10 years and she was my first girlfriend at 22.
My husband died almost 3 years ago, and my heart aches/ hurts just as much as it did when he passed away. God, my husband , and wonderful kids were/ are my world. I try to keep pushing but when I’m alone, I keep breaking down. Thank God, for my young adult kids. They keep me going. My sweet hubby, and I were married almost 21 years when he passed. He took huge part of me with him.
My sympathies for your loss. I genuinely believe that you went through actual pain, which is something I needed to hear as a man. Not that I wish pain on you or anyone, but as a man it's easy to feel like we're utterly disposable and nobody, not even our wives or girlfriends, would care that much if we're gone or dead. There's a lot of anti male rhetoric going around contributing to men killing themselves or refusing to even pursue relationships. A lot of us need confirmation that the women in our lives care, that they'll miss us when we're gone for actual emotional reasons rather than shallow ones. It's good to know that there are those who care, it's not something we hear enough. Anyone whose husband or wife are still around, never take them for granted, remind them how you truly feel, that you care. Thanks for this video
Holly love the video. Can I suggest the movie after death it’s currently at the theaters. It can give additional hope and comfort. Everything you said made sense. I am grieving as well. Lost my wife to cancer. She had a heart transplant and anti-rejection medication leads to a suppressed immune system. Faith is some thing you believe in that you can’t see or understand. The movie has near death experiences and touches you in a way I didn’t think possible. It’s a wonderful film. And helped me. ❤
I think if I had children that I had to focus on and not just myself it would be different. I don’t know. But, the fact is, I’m navigating this process on my own. The loss of my husband 4 months ago is terribly painful and lonely and overwhelming. I can’t think or know how to move on. I talk to him as if he’s here with me.😢
t's so hard to not message his phone even though i know he wont be able to message back 😭losing someone in the space of 24 hours so unexpected and out of the blue i can't do it....i can't go on without my soulmate this is so damn hard 😭i dont see a future without him ...there's nothing without him
My name is Henri Maréchal and me to my wife AnnMarie died, and every day seems to get worst and it be for the rest of my life also I sufferd a stroke and can no longer walk,so I can relate to every one that lost a Loved One it hurts every day, some day wee while see our soul mate again in haven and till than wee pray for the soul of our soul mate to help their soul to get hier and hier in haven ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
After 48 years of marriage, my husband passed away in November 2021. I'm so broken and still in deep shock. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm still asking the same questions. It does cause so much pain.

@@cindydalton9608 I am so very sorry for your loss. I know just what you mean about feeling lost and broken. I pray for God to give you the strength you need and that you have a loving support system. xo
@@richardbradshaw7830 Hi Richard, thank you. Yes, you are so right we all have to face loss one day in one way or another. I pray for God to give us all the strength we need and every day we can grow stronger in his love.
My wife and I were together for 45 years since we were 17 years old when we met. I loved her dearly, I still do despite the fact that she died 5 years ago. The overwhelming sense of loss can be extremely hard at times, I know. I deal with it by focussing not on losing her but on having had her for such a long time. I think of all the people who still have not found their soul mate. I consider myself to be fortunate for having found someone to love and who loved me too. I focus on the moments of joy and happiness, the love we shared, that is the way I deal with it. What you had cannot ever be negated. All those times, all that love still exists in the universe. He is looking down at you and still loves you now. He always will. He wants you to be happy. Whatever happens your love will never die - even if you find more love. ❤
I feel your pain. I lost my husband 7 months ago to covid 19. It was the worst day of my life more because he died in my arms and that replays over like a movie. You go thru all kinds of emotions. Stay strong they say it gets easier to deal with later on.
I am so sorry for your loss. I feel your pain I lost my fiancé on February 20th due to COVID as well. He passed suddenly in his sleep & i didn’t even get to say goodbye to him🥺
I'm so sorry I know how it feels to be lonely without the person you loved, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but life goes on because death is inevitable and we'll all have to face it someday, I lost my wife 3yrs ago to a cardiovascular disease, I felt deeply devastated with grief, but that's the past now, time is indeed the best healer. I'd love to talk to you more if you don't mind! it'd be nice if you just say hi, here is my number +17866678266 or rather you can send me your gmail address so I could reach out on you.
I'm so sorry. It's just so hard to believe. I keep trying to wake up from this nightmare. But you know, because we were so inlove and had a beautiful marriage, I actually feel his strength and knowledge within me and it makes me feel ok
Im 62 and lost my wife a few years ago. We were married 24 years it was my second and her second marriage.... I relived the day she died 1000 times I was holding her when she took her last breath and felt her go limp and looked at my watch 8:36.22 PM June 8th 2017. I have no living relatives or children just 3 cats....she was it....now i spend my days watching tv and read at night. Her daughter tells me i need to get out of the house besides going to doctors and grocery store 2 times a month i never leave my house....like i tell them ....and go where? My doctor asked me what do you want in life now.....I just want my old life back...which will never happen.

Thanks for posting these Holly. Lost my wife, best friend and the mother to my children a month ago. Married for 17 years. We were at the top of life in our early 40's and things came crashing down about 18 months ago when she was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer. Lost her voice and we thought it was simply related to her volleyball coaching. Very difficult time right now but these videos help. Thanks again.
Being a widow sucks, I hate it so much! So many mixed emotions, my enxiety is the worst. Good, bad, happy, terrible, guilt, memories, joy, so overwhelming. I can't wait for time to pass and make things better.
I am so sorry, your witnessing of this profound and painful experience shows your immense love for him, that his loss is not a secret. The weight of grief is a testament to the depth of your love. I just lost a friend...teen girlfriend (30 years ago), and we weren't close lately (both married in different towns) and STILL it has hit me like a brick wall. I believe that the grief I feel is evidence of the love we shared at one formative moment in our lives.
I can feel your pain. I am going through it now. I lost my beloved husband 4months ago in similar way to yours. I admire you for what you are doing to get through your grief. It’s been very hard for me. Thank you for sharing. God bless. ❤
Just feel so very lost and it doesn’t get easier.. He changed my life and made my life a better happier one.. I so long to be held and kissed by him, to hear his voice and his laugh.
Sorry for your loss…thank you for your wise words. Very helpful for me having lost my husband quite suddenly within 5 weeks after being together 30+ years
My beautiful wife Kelly died three weeks ago at the age of 45 its her funeral this Friday its so hard sitting here on my own with the echos in our home of our lives and love we once had she was my soulmate my best friend and I find it hard to look forward without her by my side I pry to God to take me so I can be with her again where I belong
Me too also 3 weeks ago, it is surreal sudden emptiness consumes you. Despite every friends comfort you and tell you that your partner wants you to live well, but then you really wanna be with her and ask God to take you as well… I know exactly how you feel. So instead I tried to thank God that release her pain and suffering or/and thank God that gave us such good times when we were together, it makes me feel slightly better😅
my husband of 33 years suddenly passed in aug 2023 and now on fathers day 2024 my mom is passed also.. i am a mess... i am still waiting for him to come home... in a month it will be a year.. the hurt is just as bad now as then...
Hello, my sister lost her husband in November 2021. It’ll be 3 months on Feb 13, 2022. We are still so devastated about his sudden death. It’s hard because my sister is disabled. He was the money maker and now she doesn’t know what to do. We loved him so much. He was everything to us. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I won't share our whole story because this comment section is full of enough heartbreak already. My husband's birthday is this week and I am moving my daughter and myself into a new house without him. His second death anniversary is coming up in January. I was having a little pitty party and full of anger and loneliness so I took to the internet to feel less alone. I really needed to hear your bit about how we can't change it so just don't go there. Accept that you have to keep living wothout him. You need to try to be happy more than you are sad, and that's okay.
My daughter died in 2004 at age 21. I am still grieving, but the raw edges of my heart are no longer bleeding. I made a video called "Laurel's Tree". I found that placing bottles with notes inside helped me cope on birthdays, Christmas, Easter and any day I was missing her.
There are no words in the world that can explain this loss...I lost my friend and my brother, my father ,, my love all names he was not just my husband..I am really thinking about what happened and what is going to happen and how can I complete my life without him I really feel lonely and I hate the world I hate going out of my Home, I also don't like meeting my friends, I felt something bad in my heart … when i go outside, immediately I needed to go back to my home... My personality changed completely... I miss him. i miss him so much.. the life is so hard I cry every day 😞 I need him.. I pray to God to take me with him I don't need anything from this live 😞😞😞 Oh God, gather me with my husband in paradise in the afterlife at this moment.... My heart is broken 11:30 Monday
Youre welcome and I'm glad you were able to see this. I'm sad you have had to go through the same experience and I'm sending you lots of support and care x
@@HollyMatthewsHappyMeTV I wanted to ask you, after loosing you spouse did you feel disconnected and not really yourself? Also, did you feel all emotions far more intence than usual? This is how I feel for this first year without him - lost, disconnected, confused, overemotional, misunderstood and unbalanced. And I woulder if I would feel myself again, balanced, focused and normal. When did you start feeling yourself again? Or you never felt lost? I feel so far from normal still and I quarrel with my mother a lot, which puts me to my limits. All this results in having poor health, despite I’m healty eater and healthy person in general, but now my body is always so thight, like electricity going through. When I do yoga, I’m stiff like a tree. Brief info, my husband and I were the same age, close to our 40s, having a boy in primary school. Pretty normal young, determined and smart people, when this struck us like lighting and shook our lives. The most challening of all for me now is parenting, because we were such a good team and he was one of a kind devoted father. I used to say to his doctors “Please, seve him. I’m not sure if he is the best husband, but he is the best father ever”. They laughed.

I love sharing my best friend's story to offer true hope to those suffering through grief and sorrow. I pray it is a help to you. Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** This testimony has been made into a tract form as well, so if you or your church are interested in having them to pass out, please go to libertyfaith.net and you will find the contact info there. God bless! Tribute to Ethan Lakey ua-cam.com/video/EhobcQZ6Qb8/v-deo.html
My husband passed in February after a 5.5 month battle with a rare and aggressive cancer. He spent most of that time in the hospital and I was right by my side for the most of it. I have been doing surprisingly ok since he passed and I have not been able to explain it. The way you said that you accepted the things that were out of your control makes so much sense to me. And how he lived the way that he wanted to live, that was my husband too. Thank you for this video.
My husband was in the hospice and passed away from cancer on 8/8/20. I cry couple times a day. I knew him for 30 years. No matter where I go or what I do I miss him dearly.
Jenny I lost the love of my life on 10/23/20 he went into the hospital and died the next morning of a dangerous pulmonary embolism. He had blood clots behind each knee and when it breaks off it goes to the lung and gave him cardiac arrest. I was horrified when I was told by the doctor to come in and I knew right away. I loved him so much and have been crying everyday sometimes 3 times a day. We have been together for 44 years. Hard to think I'll never see him. I can't listen to any music right now and Christmas songs would really make me cry. I listen to news and talk radio. I miss and loved him so much he was an angel.
@Chris Johnson Aww Chris thank you so much dear. That was so sweet of you to reach out to me and even give your # You are truly another angel to me. This is my gmail address patricia.ametrano@gmail.com
Holly, You are such an amazing strong woman and brilliant Mum and I can see that from following your vlogs. I can’t believe its been 2 years. I still remember bumping into you & Ross at the hospital as my friend used to work with him and I have been inspired by you all throughout this journey. I am sad for what you & the girls have been through but I think you are an inspiration for the way you have shared your thoughts to help others and done so much to help people with your Happy project/talks etc. I would not wish the pain you have been through on anybody but your girls have the best Mum they could ever wish for and the way you have continued to build a great life for them is testament to that. Love to you all xx💕
My wife and i began our journey together 61 years ago. We were married for 58 years. Then she died unexpectedly and I can’t tell you how hard it is to face her not being here with me. I basically knew nothing else but her and me. I will never get over it .
I understand you more than you know. I feel you and I feel for me. I had my husband for 30 years and married for 23. Weeks were always together so it’s heartbreaking
@@tacx1 She is still there. She will being looking at you with that same love. People never really leave you, they step into the next world like someone stepping in another room. They still love you and you should still love them.
30 years. I'm weirded out period.
thank you for sharing. my wife of 51 years passed two years ago from pancan. i did not know this level of sadness existed. there is never enough time. i sincerely appreciate your comments.
I’m so sorry
My partner, love and true soulmate Glenn passed suddenly just 19 days ago. The quietness is what I will never ever get used to. I am still in shock and expect him to walk through the door constantly. I find much comfort in videos like this and have found myself diving deep into information regarding the afterlife. He was my future, to face my own now without him seems impossible. I am thankful for my vivid lucid dreams of him and the messages I’ve received through meditation and music. I am forever changed and I don’t understand how I will face the rest of my life now… but I must… for both of us. I love you Glenn, I always will. Please come get me when it’s my time to join you.
i came across your touching comment in the grieving of love ones post here on face book. Well am really sorry about that okay 😒☹and I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but life must move on because death is inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday...
You will be together again when you pass because you are one. I lost my partner 12 week ago and feel his energy around me.
I’m so, so sorry. 😢 I feel the same way too. My situation was a bit different, as I had to break up with the love of my life because he was killing himself with alcohol. It was killing me too, and I had to choose between me and him. It was the worst, hardest decision I had to make because I knew he wouldn’t make it. He died 3 years after he moved out of my house, and we were still very close friends. He was my best friend and my family. Now I’m alone in the house we used to live in as a couple, and I have so many memories. I feel like my heart is heavy everyday and I’m not myself anymore. I don’t know that I ever will be. I’m sending love and hugs to you. The pain of this is overwhelming. I can only hope he’s at peace and that we will meet again someday. May peace and comfort find you. 💖🙏🏼🕊️
Send you much love from California. My husband and soulmate left this life 4 years ago. Be easy on yourself, it's so hard!!!
This speaks my situation so bad😭😭
My husband died suddenly and unexpectedly in January. It was tragic as we was out walking our dogs in a remote place when he collapsed. Its still very raw for me and I've been suffering with PTSD since it happened. The things you spoke about resonated with me. sharing the same feelings and thoughts, Thank you for the video
Hugs
It's been 3 Years since my Beautiful Wife passed away. I wish I had your positive Energy, Holly. I still struggle with the Loss & Depression every Day of my Life. For some of us, it's just not that easy to move on. We were together for 26 Years. I see her - I hear her - the slightest thought or picture of her, breaks my Heart. She was my World and I really did take her for Granted. Hopefully someday I can also say "I lived a Good Life and I was Happy" - but that still seems so very far away.
Yep … I feel you Barron
I lost my wife a year and a half ago to Cancer, and I'm still having a very hard time. I think the worst thing other than missing her is that when she died, everyone said " if you need anything, just call me." That lasted about 2 weeks, and after that, they couldn't be bothered. So I have to go it alone. But the one good thing is that I recently reconnected with a friend I haven't seen since the 80s, and they are now being a friend and giving me a little help so I appreciate that. But I just miss my wife.
I have to bottle my feelings up I wish I had someone who could understand my situation to talk to life is harder when you have lost your soulmate
@@Supportdog2020 I am in a similar situation and understand how you feel. I don't think I can ever recover from this and I am still relatively young. 😥
I’m still in shock and lost, my wife of 40 years have recently passed on November 7 2023 of a respiratory illness! I lost my first born son in 2020 from a pulmonary embolism! I’m devastated but must pull it together for my youngest son! Even though he is 33 it’s just him and I left and trying to move on is going to be my greatest challenge yet! But being 60 years old I know it’s not going to be an easy road ahead! ❤🙏🙏
I lost my husband two weeks ago and I am lost without him and we were together all the time I wish he would reach out to me so I know he is ok
I know how it feels. Sending you hugs ,and wishing you a happy new year. Reach out as I would love to be your friend
I lost my partner on March 11th, 2019; we were together almost 14 years; the biggest thing to get used to, is the quietness.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
@@km7605 thank-you :)
I am so sorry for your loss. I can not even imagine..❤️
@@rahnnstaap thank-you :)
I agree, that I can't hear his voice, or his body just gone
I lost my husband of 22.5 years one month ago. He was only 48. Stage 4 stomach cancer. He fought with everything he had for our family. My girls and I miss him every second of the day. Thanks for this comforting video. 💔💔💔
Lost my husband after 44 years. Will never recover & life will never be the same. Continual adjustment. Every day.
I think of our life every day, met & dated when I was 16, married at 18, together for 63 years a beautiful & loving life - indeed I was blessed but will spend rest of my life missing the love of my life.
I feel like I wrote this. I have the same experience and was married to my husband the same amount of years. We have to put in the hands of our Lord. My husband died unexpectedly. So hard.
Today is our 44th anniversary. He almost made it. He passed June 19th.
you never get over it, you are correct when you say you build your new life around this massive hole in the middle of your heart/soul. I do dream of my husband often and although waking up from those dreams always throws me, I hang on to him that way.
I just lost my husband of 22 years, 3 weeks ago. He was only 44. I cry everyday and feel like nothing is real. Thank you for this. There is hope ❤️🙏
Faith does not protect you from pain and adversity, faith helps you get through pain and adversity.
Please stay on the path in front of you. You will help more people than you can ever know just by being…
Namaste 🙏
Checking in on you ❤️
I lost my wife after35 years and I am devastated I started dating after 6 months but I am still very depressed and I can’t believe anyone would want to be around me I am struggling financially as well I am just glad for company once a week
My husband died Feb and I didn’t find out till April he had gone to Venezuela he had stopped calling me I cry every single day I know it’s going to take like 3 years for me to stop crying! I knew he was dead when I started dreaming pall bearers in the Catholic church
I just lost my husband one month ago. I went to the cemetery crying every day……. Each I went to church I cried there……Each day and each night has been so long and so sad….. He suddenly left us, my 3 month old daughter and me in surgery room…..how can I see him again?
I am 41, lost my husband 2 years back, but as time passes on the intensity of grieving and sorrow is increasing day by day especially when I am free or going to sleep at night. Not a single day passed without his memories. Talking about him is tough as it always make me cry. Heads on to you talking about it. I still really don't know how to come out of this. Still not able to accept this hard truth.
I know this feeling my dear.Its the hardest most debilitating experience to lose the love of your life your soul mate, your best friend and confidante.I hope it gives you some strength to know we are many who are bereaved and feeling the raw pain and the feeling of brokeness having such as is the most devastating of trials we have to experience in this life.I comfort myself with the belief that we see all our loved ones when our own time comes and knowing that even though the love of my life is gone I know that Gods love will see me through till I see her again.God bless sister, stay strong and know that our loved ones don't want us to stay stuck in grief it can also hold our lost loves back in spirit.They wait for us in god's kingdom and look out for us on other side X.
I know the feeling honey 😢it’s devastating
❤❤❤❤ they say love is the only thing that lasts... it is so hard... we are all here grieving and we miss our loved one so much, I miss my partner...it has been 2 years and 5 months now. Even though it feels you are around here somehow, it is hard to get used to this new life
My sister died last night from brain cancer, she was my only sibling. We were very close and I miss her dearly. May God bless us all.
Get yourself to a spiritualist church. He did not die he just went home
I’m so sorry. I hope you’ve been able to work through this.
Lean on the Lord.
I’m
So so sorry.
I love and miss my husband as well. I lost my husband 2 mons.ago. its a terrible terrible feeling..i do not know how i am going to manage..without my true love. He was everything to me. I miss everything about him ..i had him for 23 years .. maried for 5 years.. He admitted himself into the hospital and never came back out. My world had been shattered. S.I.P. Ken..I love you so much.
Thank you for the video. My wife - Lina - passed away on Dec 10 after 47 years of marriage. I really miss her but I am thinking in some of the ways that you mentioned in your video. i miss her and have many fond memories of our time together. I do not know if i will get over her - probably not, but i am learning how to live without her. Not fun, but something I have to do. It is a learning curve I have to go through, I do not like it but your comments have helped, so thank you. Have a great day and fond memories of your loving husband.
I lost my husband jim 2 years ago this coming june. We were married 48 years. I miss him so much. My step children have been a blessing. I still talk to him and hopefully he is watching over me. Thank you for expressing your feelings and your girls are fortunate to have you .
My condolences. Sending you hugs .
Watching this the day after losing my husband to a fast aggressive cancer. I spent 6 weeks every day in hospital with him watching him deteriorate by the day and being unable to help and watching him turn from a strong invincible man into a vulnerable person who’s body was gradually being destroyed by this horrible disease. I think I’m still in denial and I’m scared of what’s to come on this grief path when I am already so broken. It’s so scary. Thank you for this video and sharing
I feel you 😢😢😢 I lost my husband of 30 years from cancer a month ago. I feel every second of those painful days….
I lost both my parents in February 2024. It’s surreal. You will be reunited over the other side with your loved ones that have transitioned. I do believe heaven is a better place. And they are around you all the time. The sad part is not experiencing them in the physical form.
Wow, I’m so relieved to have found this video. I’m still hurting after losing my husband 5 years ago. We were together for 13 years and extremely close. I feel heartbroken, alone and depressed every day. I miss him so much. You touched on a lot of things I go through on a daily basis
Sorry for your loss Holly. It has been 6 months since I lost my husband to cancer. I surround myself with pictures of him, which makes me feel close to him. I miss him and will love him always. Sometimes it just feels hard to believe that he is gone but I know that he exists in another dimension. I am grateful that he is at peace now.
Like he's sleeping!
There is a reason we are here.
I lost my husband on the 15th of October 2022. It’s unbelievable that he is not here, sad, anger, emptiness, even jealousy that other people are together and me and my dear Alfie is not here and won’t come back to me physically and emotionally, breaks my heart. I’ve never had easy in life and I’m 40 , Alfie was 74, but we never saw the age difference. For me I will not find anyone like him anymore, he was one of a kind. I miss you Alfie very much 😢😢😢
I lost my boyfriend almost 6 months ago while i was 3 months pregnant. I am 9 months pregnant atm and it is just horrible. I can t imagine a life without him.. every day is a struggle. People say time heals all wounds but that's not true, you only learn to live with the pain but you will never accept what happened..
I lost my husband 11 months ago. We were together 30 years. Every day is a struggle for me too. Feel like I'm just surviving. I don't want to even be here but I look at our children's faces and know he would want me to stay for them. I'm assuming you have his baby now and He would want you to pour his love into your child. Time doesn't heal all wounds but time plus God can. Blessings to you.
Hi, how do you deal with it? We are same situation :(
Bless u, pregnancy is hard enough. Just lost my hubby too. Thinking of you x
Being a boy friend the odds are he wouldn't be in your life anyways at this point. Single mothers out number married mothers
@@Chukartramp that is possibly the least empathetic and most unkind thing there is to say. You don’t know the first thing about this person, or her life. I am a widow, and when people make dismissive, generalizing remarks like this, I block them from my life. How is that supposed to be helpful? You know it isn’t.
Reading these comments is making me appreciate every day and minute I have with my husband. Thank you and I’m sorry for your loss ♥️
That's how it was with my husband and I. He was my Clark Kent. I just lost him 8 days ago to covid pneumonia. Your true love together will never go away and you will never have any regrets. So many hugs 🫂 to you both. God Bless

Thank you for sharing. Makes me realize that I’m not alone in my grieving journey😢
I lost my husband a month ago due to dengue. He was kidney transplant survivor and a warrior in life. His will power was very strong and he lived every moment of life happily and by helping people in need. Can't believe we lost him due to dengue and it's complications at just 30 yrs . This is very painful to accept and live a life without him.
I so appreciate your video. Lost my wife just 4 days ago completely unexpectedly. Im so devastated and cant see how im going to get thru this. Immeasurable pain.
Just come across this channel, grief is horrendous, currently trying to deal with the loss of my wife in April 2024. She was the love of my life, I am broken and trying to find ways to get by. Following her bucket list of trips on the motorbike is my way of dealing with it for now, which I’m starting soon. I’ve also decided to make my journey into a UA-cam channel to try and share, in the hope it will resonate with someone someday, like this video did with me ❤
Lost my husband April 2024, unexpectedly. All the plans of life , future, gone.
Im currently going through the news of Stage three cancer for my husband, The emotions are on 100%, I have never felt these before. I feel bad for my thoughts and guilty for all that is going on, because my response is also shocking, disappointing, sounding and feeling like Im crazy. He feel and broke his back, arm, and shoulder. I watching him deteriorate in front of me and watching him go through the pain. Im feeling emptiness right now. I am trying to be his cheer leader and all things positive, but inwardly, Im suffering. This is all heart breaking. Thanks for sharing.
I lost my Fiancee to Covid four months ago. Her demise was slow n painful. I never left her side. I did everything for her. Now I visit her at the cemetery every day. Never missed a day. If I'm to busy during the day I face my fear n go at night to see her. The Holidays we're torture. Everyday I cry. I'm not living anymore just waiting. I just want to be with her. I will never be with another woman as long as I live. I'm 65 now so hopefully I'm not here much longer. She was my whole world. She still is
I lost my wife a month ago. I'm having a very difficult time. Thank you for sending hope

I’m so sorry for you loss.....love and strength ❤️
I lost my Love 15 years ago… and NO the pain hasn’t changed. It doesn’t get better over time, it doesn’t dull in intensity. TIME has not healed this. I am forced to live with the constant pain. Not one day goes by that I don’t think of him, or stop missing him. Those who had time (due to illness) with the knowledge of death to come.. was not granted to me. He died unexpectedly and was here in the morning.. gone by noon. Is a different animal all together. Not discounting the pain of loss as it can’t be measured.. but I didn’t even know that his death was on the schedule that day. Time doesn’t heal all wounds for everyone… it never did for me. Thank you for sharing your experience. Mine was and is quite different. After many many attempts to find some joy or positive things about love and loss…I come to the conclusion that there is NO relief and there won’t be until I can join him. There IS NO COMFORT. That is the price to have loved?
Thanks for the post - I hate hearing the cliches like "time heals" and "move on"
My husband and I were joking and laughing on Thursday evening, but on Friday at 7am, he was dead. No warning. No symptoms. How in just a few short hours did I lose him? Why did he leave the kids and me? We made plans for that weekend. He was not ready to go. My husband passed at the end of August 2024, and I think about him every second of the day. I will never understand why he died that way. I am angry about it.
@@MrsSonyaKS I get angry too, 6 months on. Most of the time I am just sad though.
@dmmcmah1 Yes. Sadness is the most prevalent emotion. I have never felt grief like this. I'm sure you feel the same.💔
I lost my husband a month ago due to Covid. The pain is immense. He was fit, young with no medical problem. We were planning our family. But all dreams crumbled. There is no pain bigger than loosing spouse.😔
I understand you. I lost my husband to COVID. life became really tough. Absence is felt every moment

I lost my husband unexpectedly 2 years ago. It takes time to move forward, I’m slowly moving in that direction. I’m living my life helping my children and grandchildren. It keeps me engaged in life. It’s what I would have expected my husband to have done if it had been me. It took me quite a while to realize this. He would have wanted our family to thrive and enjoy our lives together, even if it is without his presence. I feel him around us, encouraging us to live on and love each other. I feel his approval and know we will one day meet again. I know he will say, good job looking out for the family while we were apart!
You're spot on dear lady... spot on. It is an unbelievable suffering and strange thing to have the most significant person in your life just suddenly... gone. It's been two years for me now and it is just still so unreal that he is not here with me anymore. The anger and frustration can get overwhelming. You're right though - there is not a single thing we can do about it. And that can be maddening. I do believe in Heaven, but I still feel the feelings that you feel when you mention how you are sad for him and the things he is missing with his children, etc. I often feel sad for my husband as well, because he SO wanted to be here with me and living a life with me. We had just gotten our land cleared to build our dream home - and he died before we ever got to build it and make memories. That crushed my heart and soul. For both of us. And - that is SO amazing that your husband also had Autism / Asperger's - my husband did too!! I have it as well but my husband had it a little stronger than I do and I absolutely understand the bold and brutally honest comments. I miss those remarks he would make so, so much. I just wanted to let you know that my heart connected with yours here. I feel your words so deeply. My heart goes out to you.
I lost my soulmate husband 5 years ago it blows my minds no how for me I am still crying everyday since he left this earth . He got done surfing and went to hug me and had a widow maker heart attack . Following the the loss of him I lost my mother . It’s still too much to take in . When you say he just disappeared . I mourn my future . We were beyond happy planning on having kids and he was taken from me . He left me a video of him saying Just Breathe . In fact his phone was a diary of our love . I’m turning 39 If I didn’t have my husbands service dog Noah and my mini golden doodle I would not be here.
omg i am sooo sorry . sending love and understanding
You are meant to be here babe. Life is about making it through. You can do this and will be a good mom one day because you stood. ❤
I lost my fiance to heart disease two years ago. Knew her 17 years she passed right before our wedding date. I remember going in hospital and saying goodbye. Rip Sonja I'll always love you
I lost my darling husband/carer only 5 months ago and I’m still reeling from his loss. We were together in years. It does not get any easier to be alone either. I feel for everyone who has lost their husband or wives or a child. I also lost my only brother 3 yrs ago. Very hard going.
I’m so sorry to all of you who are suffering and try to send love and positivity your way. Been struggling for other reasons and still figuring out how to deal with the death of my dad 3 years ago idk.
Praying for everyone hurting. I lost my husband three weeks ago, God is real and look into alot of near-death experiences many of them are very helpful. God is who helps us when we pray and keep on praying, Holy Bible Gospel of John chapter 3 verse 16
Thank you so much for sharing- it has helped me to hear your story and experience. My husband passed away almost a year ago and the pain, sadness and grief has only been escalating. I've never felt pain like this- it's so excruciating. He passed away suddenly of a heart attack at only 37. Our youngest just turned 1. My children's pain has only added to mine- it breaks my heart to see them hurting like this and to know that my youngest 2 won't even remember their daddy. All they will have are pictures.
I lost my husband my first love, my first everything. He was my first boyfriend at 15 he was 16 we had 4 children together and we were married 30 years. He died from Lyme disease unexpectedly. He passed away March of 2018 my body and health are a mess because of it. I ache for him he was the best human on this planet. I feel lost at 48.

Just came across your video. In 3 days it will be the first anniversary of my husband Ian's death. So many of the things you said resonate and are aligned with my own thoughts and experiences. For example, I don't want to celebrate his death date every yr, I understand he's gone but a part of my mind finds it very hard to comprehend he no longer exists. How can he just be gone. We had 40 beautiful yrs together and like your husband mine died in hospice. He was an atheist. He was a teacher, a part time scientist. A loving father. I once believed in heaven now I like to think he is an energy that might still touch my life in different forms. I'm still struggling to live fully again. It's hard to accept and adapt to a new life without him. You have given me some good concepts to contemplate. Thank you for posting.
Wow, good video. I lost my spouse to leukemia after 37 years of marriage. I have used the word “weird” to describe my feelings. The quietness, the decluttering, sometimes guilt.
Acceptance and letting go. Yes. My wife was getting hospice at home and I was there with her to the last breath. That was weird. God bless you, Mattie. 😌

Thank you Holly - So well said. I lost my wife 2 years ago after 35 wonderful years. You said so many things that I feel as well. Your perspective helps me to see the big picture, the truth, and the fact that we cannot change what has happened. Dwelling on the sadness does not help. My life is good and my daughters are very close - thank goodness, they are wonderful. They get sad as well but we are a good support system to each other. The richness of my wife’s personality, her gigantic heart that loved children, animals, older people and everyone every day has lived on in all of us that knew her. I’m especially more gentle and kind and loving toward everyone around me since she has passed. Thanks again and I’m looking forward to more of your posts.
Everyone has, is or will go through storms in life, but the important thing is who is in the boat with you. I'd like to share my best friend's story to help you know how to have true peace and comfort in your storm. God bless you.
Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey
Family Story
Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day.
My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening.
That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of
a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you.
His Story
Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price]
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Your Story
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son.
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready?
“...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b)
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c)

The bible says he heals the broken heart and bondage the wounds
It's been 17 good years ,I lost my husband and I was only 26 years old by that time
It wasn't easy to understand it,I felt like am in another planet not on earth,am healed now even though I will not forget it and am ready to move on
Hi 😮😅😮
I just stumbled across this video and I can’t believe how much I relate to everything you’re saying. My partner of 10 years took his own life a little over a month ago it is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever had go through. I’ve been overwhelmed with support and I yet feel so alone. Thank you for giving a little hope for the future.
I'm so sorry for your loss, such is life we've all lost our loved ones in death, but life goes on, I lost my partner 3yrs ago, I understand how you feel, I'd love to talk to you more if you don't mind, it'd be nice if you just say hi here is my number +1206-237-2054 😇
Thank you for making this video. The love of my life, Shannon passed away 3 weeks ago today. We were together for 23 years, married for 22. I am beyond consumed with grief.
Ian so sorry for your loss. I lost my fiancé, my soulmate ,on feb 20th suddenly in his sleep. I wasn’t able to say goodbye; this is very hard & hurts in a way that cannot be described , but I know you & i can get through this. It will get better for us both💙
@@mia_bellz my condolences. It’s so hard to lose a soul mate. I completely understand your pain and I’m sorry. We are both part of a shitty club. Send you internet hugs.
sorry for your loss KP i lost my wife of 21 years last christmas eve. it was a horrible time, holding her in my arms for her last breath. i love her forever
since then i met a wonderful woman (widowed) and we are engaged. My wife would be so proud of me life is not easy, but its all we have. Make the most of your life....one person died....not two
@@craigoster6408 Wow, so much has happened this year. I also met a widow...and we are in love. Making plans to move in together ❤️. You are so right...one person died, not 2.

Well am really sorry about that okay 😒☹and I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but life must move on because death is inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday.....
Thank you so much for posting this. Hope you are still all well and happy. My husband of 24 years died 4 months ago, so I am new to all the grief etc but I got a lot from your video.
Everyone deals with it differently but I found it really important to not hide from the pain. Face the pain of loss and let it run its course. Don’t let it get behind you. Deal with it don’t hide from it. Know that it’s going to pass. You won’t be who you were before but you will be okay!
All the best,
B
lost my wife of 19 years of a sudden seizure just two weeks shy of what would have been her 49th bday. I love you and miss you so f/n much. The powers that be took you from me and now they are tearing me apart as if I am guilty of something.
I just stumbled upon this channel and I'm glad I found it. There is not enough out there on grief. It's such a unique journey for each person. I lost my husband back in Jan 2019 so I'll be hitting that 2 year mark soon. I still have days I'm in such disblief that he is not here, so unreal. So I can relate to alot of what you said Holly. Thanks for the validation.

Dear Holly, You put into words much of what I am going through. I was with my wife for 42 years and at her bedside for the 2 months before she died from sepsis in 2019. Thank you for making this video. It will get me through Christmas after a year of virtual isolation during the pandemic.
srry for your loss, the pandemic giving ppl a new perspective on life and how to live it .....
I didn't lose a husband but he was going to be my fiance. After 7 yrs of only friend then the last year romantic. My heart is breaking. He was the only an yo truly love me. I really pray he knows im still here loving him
My brother-in-law died last week. He married my sister two months ago, but they've been together for almost ten years. She is so lost and broken and it's so infuriating feeling this helpless. I'm so sorry for your loss.
wait 'till you experience your own loss .....
@@007thematrix007 it is rude comment are you aware?
So sorry for your loss! I lost my wife and my son daily asks for her. It’s hard but you got this!
I lost my wife in Feb of this years it's been a month yesterday and she was my world we were together for 10 years and she was my first girlfriend at 22.
My husband died almost 3 years ago, and my heart aches/ hurts just as much as it did when he passed away. God, my husband , and wonderful kids were/ are my world. I try to keep pushing but when I’m alone, I keep breaking down. Thank God, for my young adult kids. They keep me going. My sweet hubby, and I were married almost 21 years when he passed. He took huge part of me with him.
My sympathies for your loss. I genuinely believe that you went through actual pain, which is something I needed to hear as a man.
Not that I wish pain on you or anyone, but as a man it's easy to feel like we're utterly disposable and nobody, not even our wives or girlfriends, would care that much if we're gone or dead. There's a lot of anti male rhetoric going around contributing to men killing themselves or refusing to even pursue relationships. A lot of us need confirmation that the women in our lives care, that they'll miss us when we're gone for actual emotional reasons rather than shallow ones.
It's good to know that there are those who care, it's not something we hear enough. Anyone whose husband or wife are still around, never take them for granted, remind them how you truly feel, that you care. Thanks for this video
What you are saying is so true. There is a lot of anti-male rhetoric. I hope you find the antidote - true love.
Holly love the video. Can I suggest the movie after death it’s currently at the theaters. It can give additional hope and comfort. Everything you said made sense. I am grieving as well. Lost my wife to cancer. She had a heart transplant and anti-rejection medication leads to a suppressed immune system. Faith is some thing you believe in that you can’t see or understand. The movie has near death experiences and touches you in a way I didn’t think possible. It’s a wonderful film. And helped me. ❤
Love your videos Holly I’m sorry for your loss, I’m 18 now lost my dad at 16 losing someone you love is the worst feeling ever x
thank you darling and for sharing your loss. Its very tough, I hope youre working through it all xx
@@HollyMatthewsHappyMeTV what causes brain cancer ?????
I think if I had children that I had to focus on and not just myself it would be different. I don’t know. But, the fact is, I’m navigating this process on my own. The loss of my husband 4 months ago is terribly painful and lonely and overwhelming. I can’t think or know how to move on. I talk to him as if he’s here with me.😢
t's so hard to not message his phone even though i know he wont be able to message back 😭losing someone in the space of 24 hours so unexpected and out of the blue
i can't do it....i can't go on without my soulmate
this is so damn hard 😭i dont see a future without him ...there's nothing without him

After 48 years of marriage, my husband passed away in November 2021. I'm so broken and still in deep shock. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm still asking the same questions. It does cause so much pain.

@@EtherealEncountersUnveiled You're absolutely welcome Sassy! You know life can be so unfair to us at times.
My wife and I were together for 45 years since we were 17 years old when we met. I loved her dearly, I still do despite the fact that she died 5 years ago. The overwhelming sense of loss can be extremely hard at times, I know. I deal with it by focussing not on losing her but on having had her for such a long time. I think of all the people who still have not found their soul mate. I consider myself to be fortunate for having found someone to love and who loved me too. I focus on the moments of joy and happiness, the love we shared, that is the way I deal with it. What you had cannot ever be negated. All those times, all that love still exists in the universe. He is looking down at you and still loves you now. He always will. He wants you to be happy. Whatever happens your love will never die - even if you find more love. ❤
" I think of all the people who still have not found their soul mate". Some people never do.
I feel your pain. I lost my husband 7 months ago to covid 19. It was the worst day of my life more because he died in my arms and that replays over like a movie. You go thru all kinds of emotions. Stay strong they say it gets easier to deal with later on.
I am so sorry for your loss. I feel your pain
I lost my fiancé on February 20th due to COVID as well. He passed suddenly in his sleep & i didn’t even get to say goodbye to him🥺

Thanks for posting these Holly. Lost my wife, best friend and the mother to my children a month ago. Married for 17 years. We were at the top of life in our early 40's and things came crashing down about 18 months ago when she was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer. Lost her voice and we thought it was simply related to her volleyball coaching. Very difficult time right now but these videos help. Thanks again.
Being a widow sucks, I hate it so much! So many mixed emotions, my enxiety is the worst. Good, bad, happy, terrible, guilt, memories, joy, so overwhelming. I can't wait for time to pass and make things better.
Hi😊😅😮
I am so sorry, your witnessing of this profound and painful experience shows your immense love for him, that his loss is not a secret. The weight of grief is a testament to the depth of your love. I just lost a friend...teen girlfriend (30 years ago), and we weren't close lately (both married in different towns) and STILL it has hit me like a brick wall. I believe that the grief I feel is evidence of the love we shared at one formative moment in our lives.
I can feel your pain. I am going through it now. I lost my beloved husband 4months ago in similar way to yours. I admire you for what you are doing to get through your grief. It’s been very hard for me. Thank you for sharing. God bless. ❤
Just feel so very lost and it doesn’t get easier.. He changed my life and made my life a better happier one.. I so long to be held and kissed by him, to hear his voice and his laugh.
I would be so empty not having God in my life. We are here as a test, and to live for Jesus. Prayers that you can be open to God.
Hi😊😅😅
I can’t imagine life without God. I can’t wait till I see my husband again.
@@lydiamoore142 hello can we talk
@@lydiamoore142 can we talk
Good for you, but not everyone wants to look to religion for comfort.
Sorry for your loss…thank you for your wise words. Very helpful for me having lost my husband quite suddenly within 5 weeks after being together 30+ years
My beautiful wife Kelly died three weeks ago at the age of 45 its her funeral this Friday its so hard sitting here on my own with the echos in our home of our lives and love we once had she was my soulmate my best friend and I find it hard to look forward without her by my side I pry to God to take me so I can be with her again where I belong
Me too also 3 weeks ago, it is surreal sudden emptiness consumes you. Despite every friends comfort you and tell you that your partner wants you to live well, but then you really wanna be with her and ask God to take you as well… I know exactly how you feel. So instead I tried to thank God that release her pain and suffering or/and thank God that gave us such good times when we were together, it makes me feel slightly better😅
my husband of 33 years suddenly passed in aug 2023 and now on fathers day 2024 my mom is passed also.. i am a mess... i am still waiting for him to come home... in a month it will be a year.. the hurt is just as bad now as then...
I lost my boyfriend a month ago and this video really helped me look at his death in a different perspective ❤️
Hello, my sister lost her husband in November 2021. It’ll be 3 months on Feb 13, 2022. We are still so devastated about his sudden death. It’s hard because my sister is disabled. He was the money maker and now she doesn’t know what to do. We loved him so much. He was everything to us. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Hi😊😅😮
Thank you so much for sharing this. I won't share our whole story because this comment section is full of enough heartbreak already. My husband's birthday is this week and I am moving my daughter and myself into a new house without him. His second death anniversary is coming up in January. I was having a little pitty party and full of anger and loneliness so I took to the internet to feel less alone. I really needed to hear your bit about how we can't change it so just don't go there. Accept that you have to keep living wothout him. You need to try to be happy more than you are sad, and that's okay.
I also lost my Husband? But good support is needed , for me god has been the best support for me and my girls wishing your family peace 🫶
My daughter died in 2004 at age 21. I am still grieving, but the raw edges of my heart are no longer bleeding. I made a video called "Laurel's Tree". I found that placing bottles with notes inside helped me cope on birthdays, Christmas, Easter and any day I was missing her.
There are no words in the world that can explain this loss...I lost my friend and my brother, my father ,, my love all names he was not just my husband..I am really thinking about what happened and what is going to happen and how can I complete my life without him I really feel lonely and I hate the world I hate going out of my Home, I also don't like meeting my friends, I felt something bad in my heart … when i go outside, immediately I needed to go back to my home... My personality changed completely... I miss him. i miss him so much.. the life is so hard I cry every day 😞 I need him.. I pray to God to take me with him I don't need anything from this live 😞😞😞
Oh God, gather me with my husband in paradise in the afterlife at this moment.... My heart is broken
11:30 Monday
Thank you for posting this, so well spoken, what a strong woman you are!
I lost my husband almost a year ago, so much I can totally relate to! ❤️
Youre welcome and I'm glad you were able to see this. I'm sad you have had to go through the same experience and I'm sending you lots of support and care x
@@HollyMatthewsHappyMeTV I wanted to ask you, after loosing you spouse did you feel disconnected and not really yourself? Also, did you feel all emotions far more intence than usual?
This is how I feel for this first year without him - lost, disconnected, confused, overemotional, misunderstood and unbalanced. And I woulder if I would feel myself again, balanced, focused and normal. When did you start feeling yourself again? Or you never felt lost?
I feel so far from normal still and I quarrel with my mother a lot, which puts me to my limits. All this results in having poor health, despite I’m healty eater and healthy person in general, but now my body is always so thight, like electricity going through. When I do yoga, I’m stiff like a tree.
Brief info, my husband and I were the same age, close to our 40s, having a boy in primary school. Pretty normal young, determined and smart people, when this struck us like lighting and shook our lives. The most challening of all for me now is parenting, because we were such a good team and he was one of a kind devoted father. I used to say to his doctors “Please, seve him. I’m not sure if he is the best husband, but he is the best father ever”. They laughed.

Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey
Family Story
Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day.
My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening.
That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of
a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you.
His Story
Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price]
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Your Story
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son.
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready?
“...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b)
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c)

Tribute to Ethan Lakey
ua-cam.com/video/EhobcQZ6Qb8/v-deo.html
My husband passed in February after a 5.5 month battle with a rare and aggressive cancer. He spent most of that time in the hospital and I was right by my side for the most of it. I have been doing surprisingly ok since he passed and I have not been able to explain it. The way you said that you accepted the things that were out of your control makes so much sense to me. And how he lived the way that he wanted to live, that was my husband too. Thank you for this video.
Holly, thank you for sharing. There aren't enough people sharing online about their experiences with grief.
I just lost my Gina after 10 years of living together 3 weeks ago on October 16th. I miss her so so much.😢
My husband was in the hospice and passed away from cancer on 8/8/20. I cry couple times a day. I knew him for 30 years. No matter where I go or what I do I miss him dearly.
My husband passed away of cancer too 10/13/2019. We were together 30 years. It's unbearable for me too.
Jenny I lost the love of my life on 10/23/20 he went into the hospital and died the next morning of a dangerous pulmonary embolism. He had blood clots behind each knee and when it breaks off it goes to the lung and gave him cardiac arrest. I was horrified when I was told by the doctor to come in and I knew right away. I loved him so much and have been crying everyday sometimes 3 times a day. We have been together for 44 years. Hard to think I'll never see him. I can't listen to any music right now and Christmas songs would really make me cry. I listen to news and talk radio. I miss and loved him so much he was an angel.
@@NoXQsVideo No music for me either.
@Chris Johnson Aww Chris thank you so much dear. That was so sweet of you to reach out to me and even give your # You are truly another angel to me. This is my gmail address patricia.ametrano@gmail.com
@@NoXQsVideo thanks, I'm going to email you.
Holly, You are such an amazing strong woman and brilliant Mum and I can see that from following your vlogs. I can’t believe its been 2 years. I still remember bumping into you & Ross at the hospital as my friend used to work with him and I have been inspired by you all throughout this journey. I am sad for what you & the girls have been through but I think you are an inspiration for the way you have shared your thoughts to help others and done so much to help people with your Happy project/talks etc.
I would not wish the pain you have been through on anybody but your girls have the best Mum they could ever wish for and the way you have continued to build a great life for them is testament to that. Love to you all xx💕
Aww I remember you too. Thank you for comments and I proper appreciate this xx
