She had been sick and had her oxygen tank there, but she was there. We took pics. I hugged her before i left and told her i loved her....when she left, she became unresponsive on the ride home and never woke up. So what u said, and what he said is the realest talk ever. God bless 👍🏾

I started grief therapy 4 weeks after my mom passed away on 8-12-22 because I knew, immediately, that otherwise my mind was going to take me into a really dark place. It wasn't weird for me, it was just different. I feel deeply for this great brother. When your mom is your best friend, there is just no explanation of the pain you feel.

Powerful - the part about grief and friendship - happens way more often than not. Grief is an extremely difficult emotion to sit with and lots of people cannot do it. It’s sad but it’s true. Which is why I encourage everyone who is grieving to go to counseling so there can be at least one person who will be with you

31:30 I understand everything Deon is talking about. When My mother passed, I'd start tearing up randomly, even at work. Thinking of the memories, all that she taught me. being 50 and all of my aunts and uncles are gone. Its a whole new generation of people and kids. "in the world alone" we aren't really, but thats how you feel when you lose a parent I feel bad about people leaving Deon. That didn't happen to me The idea of losing your parents is always there, but you must cherish them while you're here. Spend time. After a health scare, I realized how quickly she could be taken away. I'm so glad I spent the time going out to lunch and talking. I have no regrets. well thats not true, but none about spending

Baby, this interview touched me for real. Grief is a B. I lost my best friends (my mom and brother) in 2020, four months apart from each other. All through the beginning of COVID with all the restrictions etc. My mom was in and out of assisted living and hospitals battling dementia and the complications thereof. My older brother was battling a rare disease, amblyodosis, in and out of hospitals. I was my moms main caregiver while also trying to keep an eye on my brother. Worst time of my life, yall. Im just now grasping it all with the help of God and a supportive husband. I feel EVERYTHING D says in this interview. Prayers for all those grieving loved ones.🙏🏽❤️

I went out to a club maybe 6mos after my momma passed away and was crying in the bathroom, told by someone to " get over it", and just became reclusive. Stayed to myself. Many didn't understand and I lost some people just for the reasons he said. And a year to the date of her passing, I had to attend a New Employee Job Orientation for 8 hours. Hardest day of my life.

Here I am, 5 yrs after my mom's passing, listening and grieving all over again. 😭😭 I'm last of 5, so we siblings had each other..... Deon, I don't know how to get thru this, esp with no siblings. As I was told in the first few weeks, you never actually get over it. So I allow myself to stop and cry whenever. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

In a great great way...his energy was extremely different!! He still showed up and I have to appreciate his realness and journey to Balance. Lord restore and bless this brother!! Amen!

It's true, while grieving, specifically over a loss of a parent... One minute all is well, and in the very next minute, a memory crosses your mind, and reminder that your mom/dad is no longer there. I talked to my mom every single day... And now, I can't call her anymore... I can only hope that we meet up in my dreams. 😢

Probably the most heartfelt interview for this Year…🙏

Mom dukes & I have never really been on the same page for my entire life. Very mean spirited woman. This interview made me think hard about our relationship. I’m 49, so imma continue to do what I’ve usually done & that’s to pray on it, turn it over to God. 🙏🏿

Deon is such a beautiful person. So transparent ....his ability to express what so many can't

everything he said about grieving & losing people is exactly what im going thru now. i just lost my mother almost 2 weeks ago & i lost my father almost 3 years ago & im seeing i had a lot of associates posed as friends cause folks ain't even check on me or come to my mother's funeral. i appreciate charlemagne acknowledging he sucks at being there for people in those moments & asked the question on how can he changed that. a lot of folks need to ask that question. it's heartbreaking when you realize you have no more parents, grandparents or blood aunts & uncles. just your siblings & a few cousins

I got to see Deon on NYE in person for the first time and when i tell u this man is one of THEEE NATURALLY funniest human beings on the planet. But what makes him so great and puts him in the category of like DL Hughley & Dave Chappelle is his ability to unapologetically get serious and deep. This was an OUTSTANDING interview and i so appreciate what he had to say esp about grief, losing friends and all of that. There's nothing more impressive than someone with a platform & voice who chooses to be completely transparent & human. God bless that man!!! 👏🏾
