Losing a parent can be one of the most difficult things you experience. I hope these lessons help you if you're experiencing loss or make your relationship with your parent deeper if they're still around.
Lessons:
- Learn your parent's story. Find out about their life before you and see them as a person thats gone through their own trials and tribulations.
300 Questions to ask your parents before its too late: www.amazon.com/dp/0882909789/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_7MIoFbT1YTHA3
The book of me: www.amazon.com/dp/1441322310/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_bNIoFbR3J880Y
- Create memories with your parent and take pictures and videos of those memories
- Rituals can help
Try InTune - you can create your own ritual and pick the music that reminds you of your loved one: tryintune
www.goodtherapy.org/blog/creating-rituals-to-move-through-grief/
- You can still have a relationship with your parent even after they've passed away
- There's a before & after with loss. Life looks different afterwards and it takes time to accept that and find a new rhythm to your life.
- We need to discuss death and the process of dying more often. It's better to discuss these things before a crisis moment.
- Get support. Experiencing loss is one of the best times to seek out help from a therapist. (www.betterhelp.com & www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists)

My dad died 14 hours ago. I have a phobia of moths, and other big flying insects. My dad really loved insects. So i decided to think it is my dad watching me when there is a moth or a wasp around me. This video really helped me thanks.

I still have dreams about her all the time and when I wake up Its like a slap of reality. Very crazy how life is. My condolences to everyone who has lost a parent. I know your pain!

cherish those dreams, my dad recently passed away and I yearn to dream him...losing a parent is one of the hardest challenges we will face and simply does not compare to other life's disappointments we will face. Even as an adult, the inner child in me is not ready to be minus one...its almost as though having my parents alive was what gave me courage to face the world and now that my father is physically gone, the world is a scarier place without him..😓

I lost my Pops almost a month ago. My life and outlook have changed immensely. He was sick but we thought he'd get better. He died an hour after I left the hospital to go home and come back to see him. I regret ever leaving his side. He was my biggest fan and confidant. I miss his phone calls.

We left the hospital to come back the following day, only for me to receive a call 6 hours later to say that he crossed over. This regret will haunt me. Blessings to you bro

I’m sorry you had to go through this. I have similar regrets with my mum. She was always sick and I feel like I never was there enough for her. Till she got diagnosed with cancer it tore my world apart id be seeing her almost everyday but I couldn’t stay the nights with her because I was grieving so much already knowing I was going to lose her. I froze and would always go back home and cry myself to sleep. I regret going away for two nights in new yrs but she let me go and said she will be here when I’m back. I got home Jan 3. On Jan 4 we had our last conversation and cry and she asked me for pancakes the next day. I brought them and by that time it was too late she was on her way out. On Jan 5 she passed 😭😭😭😭😭

My sister and I spent a good two hours talking and interacting with him. He died on the evening of my arrival. It's been 4 months since he passed and I'm still enduring the grieving process.

So sorry for your loss, I lost my mom when I was a child and my dad has cancer now and we do not know when the Lord will take him. I know that losing a son is not the same as losing a father, but please allow me to share my best friend's story with you. This family knows where to turn in times of grief. 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.

My Mother died 27 years ago, and my Father died 21 years ago. What I can say to all of those who have suffered a recent loss of a parent is this: You will get your life back together again. I am not saying that you will get over it, because I honestly don't believe that we ever fully recover from losing those that we love......but, at some point you will start smiling again and your life will regain some of its normality. My prayers to all of you who are going through this right now.

I just lost my dad a month ago, and it is absolutely crushing, how bad I miss him. I feel guilty for every minute I could have spent with him but didn't, even though I did spend a lot of time with him. All the times I could have just drove to his house and sat and talked with him but did some meaningless activity instead. What a waste of precious time. I think about it all the time...Especially EVERY time I go to visit his place of rest at the cemetery..... We take so much for granted in life..... My Father was a Combat Veteran and a Retired Fire Fighter. He was an AMAZING Man, A FANTASTIC Father, and an UNBELIEVABLE Grandpa to my son. The hole he leaves is infinite. It can never be filled. I will miss him until the day I die. If you are reading this and either of your parents are still around... Please do not take a single day, hour, minute for granted. Tomorrow is guaranteed to NOBODY.

My father has never been around in my life and that made it harder. He has had a hard life. I don't believe that my Dad can hear me when I talk to him, but I do believe in a second life and I will see him again. I think having this experience is going to make me stronger. If you can get through this....you can get through anything. Continue living your life and know it's okay to be happy.

I’m so sorry about your Dad. My son is going through this right now with it being a week ago. He is 25 and is feeling so sad. He woke up yesterday thinking he had to hurry up and charge his phone so he could call his dad, and then he remembered. I hope you’re doing better as I’m very sorry.

Lost my father to septic shock on 26/4. Initially was numb and couldn't feel anything, but now his absence hurts so much. His mere presence in the house gave me so much strength and made me feel secure. Now it feels like a secure shield has been lifted off me. I'm just living for my mom now, otherwise I don't have any purpose left now. Nothing in the world can be compared with this loss, the grief is just too much.

I just lost my dad on the 29th of april... I was supposed to be off from work that day but a job popped up, I left that morning for work and got a call that my dad had passed away. He was diabetic and his blood sugar was too low causing him to go into shock, he already had heart issues in the past but the shock caused a heart attack and thats how he passed. I just wish i never left for work that morning so i couldve checked up on him and possibly save him from the low blood sugar. By the time i got home he was already gone. I never even got to say goodbye to him. Its destroying me from the inside that i couldnt save him that day. My dad grew up in poverty and immigrated during the vietnamese war. He didnt have luxury or an easy going life. I recently started my own company so ive been making some decent money. I wanted to buy him gifts and go on vacation with him, give him a better life you know. I was hoping he wouldve lived for another year or 2 but it ended so abrupty. However i promised to him inside my head (somehow i know he can hear me) that everything i do in this life, all my accomplishments up to this point and onwards ill do in his name. Ill let him live through my eyes. Ill experience the things that he wasnt able to experience or have. Thats how i chose to cope with his loss. I can't relate losing both parents it must be horrible for you but you have to stay strong for them and keep going even if your soul is hurting. Im just a random person on the internet but know that my thoughts go out to you and everyone else who has/is going through this. Stay strong!!! Much love.

I’ve lost my mother today at 4am I’m very grateful that she was 23 years there for me. I do cry and yes it hurts my soul to not be able to hold her again until the day I die also. But knowing that this day will come and I’m able to live a full filled one in honour to her. I consider myself very happy to be able to know my parents and still have my father to lean on. To everyone do not guiltrip yourself over the death because you don’t have the choice to choose the outcome of life itself. You wouldn’t want someone to curse you and tell you that you did wrong. Why would you do it on yourself? Don’t give power to something mean and awful, that won’t be what they wished for you to do. We all decease one day until then we should cherish all the good memories and make good memories of your own to honour the wish of you loved ones. God bless you and your family stay strong and faithful to your beliefs. No matter what Religion or believe you have. God is the greatest above all.

My mother recently passed away from cancer, she had fought against it since 2012, my mom was an amazing woman, full of life, humble, loving, compassionate, a giver and a fighter, she was the light in my life and for my son and for all of us, I realized how even more amazing she was when so many people started calling, some I didn't know, the feelings come and go like waves, I feel lost without my mom, I'm 37 and she was just 60, I miss her and I love her so much, I realize how much of an impact she made to us all and to me, her absence, I'm taking it day by day though trying to see the good and value what I have in my life, I know she would be telling me to value what I still have, I miss her dearly

Lost my father this last months--- I'm 35 and my dad was healthy, happy, hearty, and loved life & dropped dead of a heart attack at 69, leaving my mom on her own after 45 years of marriage, and not getting to see his 3 new grandkids grow up who made him so happy. So far, by 2 minutes, this video has just made me sad. What if it's too late to go and do these things with your parent because you lost them? It feels like I'm being coached how to prepare for my mom's death, and how to be make that hurt less than this did or something. I don't know, I'll keep listening---- I can't believe I've gone to KZfaq help videos for help. After a couple of weeks, people think you are ok because you smile, laugh, and tell an occasional joke.... I wish ppl would genuinely ask how you are coping with loss and listen. I still cry at night when I see pictures of my father and his grand kids, or him & my mom, or with my brother and I. It just really sucks...... I know you are all grieving too, unless you are like the guy from FIght Club who hangs around grieving people to feel less numb. Bless you all and I hope your pain fades in time. Sorry for all of your losses. My wife thinks I'm the emotional rock of the marriage, and has sadly provided little comfort during this tragic event. I love her, but she's lacking in that emotional department and it's too heavy for her and she doesn't know what to do or say.... if she lost her dad I'd support her with every ounce of my being. She hasn't the slighest clue how many tears I continue to shed; my dad was a great guy..... he had every reason to live, and loved life. He was cheated, and so were we.

Dear daddy I can’t believe you’ve been gone for 7 years since you’re gone. I never asked for you to be gone. I remember when me and my siblings were little kids. When you were in the hospital for a while then transferred to a nursing home. We were always wanting you to come home That we were gonna throw you a special welcome home party. Never knew it would be years. I never want to lose you😔💔 I never knew that at that time would be the last time I ever see you!! February 8, 2014 was the saddest day of my life💔. I was demanding for you to come home and I want my dad back as a preteen and I want to family to be back again. I miss you so much! I wish you would see me. You didn’t get to even see me graduate class of 2020. Don’t worry I hope you’re watching from above. You didn’t even get to see me go off to college. We all miss you. Will been losing all the male figures in our lives. Like I have a brother I think he needs a male figure in his life and to bad that you’re not here💔. Every Father’s Day really hurts. It’s not the same without you. I tried to act like that it’s a regular day. But one time on Father’s Day of 2018, i wanted to break down crying but we were out and busy all day that day So I pretty much cried when I got home. U wanna know why? Because people are posting pictures of their dads on social media. And I honestly never post you because usually I barely like to share that you died and that you’re not here with me any more even though I told some people that I’ve lost my dad years ago it’s not something that I talk about much because you know. It hurts talking about it because I miss you so much. I hope I get to see you again in heaven! As of now as a black child being raised in a single parent household. I have suffered from depression and anxiety and tried to commit suicide the past year☹️. Because of so much other stuff happening. I really never thought that i would lose you at 11 years old. I miss you so much I just miss you. I wish I can just have you with me in person and watch me grow up. I love you so much dad❤️ Loosing my dad was the worst moment of my life! Yet the saddest💔💔

Thank God or who ever it is you believe in for everything and just know your not alone, every single human on earth has lost a loved on its the cycle of life, learn to accept it and I believe you will break free from ur sadness and move forward and be a better version of your self, just like that loved one wants you to be.

I lost my mum to stage 3 lung cancer in January this yr. Right now I can’t sleep because it’s Mother’s Day tomorrow and it’s a painful milestone. I received my biggest injury of my life and need an operation and I’d do anything to hear her voice to soothe me now. My life hasn’t been the same since. My perspective is different I feel like I can’t shake the melancholy since she passed. The moments up to her death were the hardest I ever experienced - I stayed by her side and the moment I closed my eyes she passed in hospital. I felt like I was in a horrible movie. Her life wasn’t easy with me she raised me on her own. A true Wonder Woman. 40 yrs she had arthritis that crippled her and took away so many of the things we take for granted. Seeing her disability as a child I was used to missing out on a lot but I only ever started to appreciate how amazing she was to raise me with a sickness on her own that she never complained and always had amazing strength to carry on even though I could see in her eyes she was suffering. Even on her death bed she found it hard to ask for help! She never wanted pity! I hope I build to the same level of courage and strength she had. I miss her so much. Much love to you all going through the same thing. X

At the same time, I feel life after death is real in the here and now - those of us that loved him entirely, we are the life after death, we will continue both his memory and our connection with him , until it is our time. I love you dad.

She will always have a special place in my heart. I’ll never forget her.

But it wasn’t, he couldn’t cough because his lungs were far gone. His oxygen level was at 20, i think they ventilated someone at 80. He was on it for 23 days, with a dialysis machine working his kidneys as well. Im sorry for your loss my friend, im just 23 years old.

My father is currently in the hospital with heart failure. I dont know what to feel losing you so young. As of now the doctors say we dont have much time with him. I feel immense guilt in the time we had with him we took for granted. Youve been through so much and came from so little all at the same time. Im proud of you dad. You always pushed us to do better and showed us that we didnt need to look to a life of bad things to be happy. Im not sure what to feel other than the sadness thats constantly overcoming me. You wont be here to see me accomplish all the great things in life that you pushed us so hard to become. I keep thinking back to how things were not too long ago, I cant stop thinking of what I should have done differently and how things would be when you have passed on. How you would want things to be. Everyday hurts knowing that I wont be able to hug you, share memories, or laugh at another one of your silly jokes and stories. You will be leaving a lot behind at such a young age. You were many things in life, my father and role-model is one for sure. You mean so much to a lot of people. I love you more than you can ever imagine and it hurts knowing I never showed that as much as I should. The pain I feel coming home knowing you wont be here, wishing things would just go back to how they were. What I shouldve done different.

I felt so helpless, he had some seizure or stroke im not sure, but i was on my ipad and if only i turned to look at him a few seconds earlier maybe my dad would be here. Medics came as soon he was pronounced dead, they did cpr for an hour but it was his time to go. He suffered for so long in his life i never had to chance to repay him yet for his love and care. I dont believe in spiritual or religious things, i wish i had that faith and hope but truly in my heart i dont which is why his death is so hard on me. I cant turn back time and i cant tell my father im sorry, only in my head.

I’m sorry for the loss of your father man...it’ll be ten years for me next year since my moms has been gone...the grief comes in much smaller waves rather than the tsunami sized ones immediately after and that first year so I know the telltale signs...but it’s something that crosses my mind every day lending credence to your mention of before and after marking...we definitely need to talk about death more and be more transparent so people can really process their grief in a healthy manner...thank you for the video man...

Thank you Andrew for your help. I'm sorry for your loss. I am in grief therapy because I lost my parents 5 months apart a little over a year ago. I was extremely close like parents and friends and my husband and I spent a lot of fun times with them. I've been blessed with my husband who is truly my soulmate. Also, I have a very compassionate therapist who is helping me through this very painful time. I pray everyone here who lost a loved one is able in time to find peace with their sorrow. God bless you all. 🙏🌟

Thank you for the information you shared in this video - addresses both practical and emotional aspects of moving through grief. Having lost both my parents recently, it is a struggle dealing with the mixture of emotions. Thankfully, I did hear (and listen, AND record) stories of my parents' childhood - has helped a great deal to see them as people, not just parents. Your lessons are good ones - while they were probably tough for you to "learn", I'm glad you were/are able to share them.

Thank you so much for this , I lost my mother three years ago. We were extremely close and I am an only child , she was my life. Dad got cancer and died very quickly last year and it through me into shock because he took care of himself and was always really healthy. You touched on so many things , some of which I already figured out and all of it true. I did the trips , dinners , movies that you spoke of with mother but I want to tell people that on the trips you must take photos , they become a godsend later for you. My mother was psychic and has communicated to me as she promised in ways that go far beyond a butterfly. Thanks for the great video.

Thank you SO much for this video. I just lost my Dad yesterday... actually just about 11 hours ago. Our relationship was definitely "good". My generation is way more in touch or open with our feelings, but he was still just the most wonderful man. So much to process, but of all things, I don't have to feel like we had unsaid things between us. He wasn't overly talkative about emotions, but he was a deep well of knowledge about the natural world, the cosmos, woodworking, and many other things. He was extremely kind, thoughtful, and fair to all who crossed his path. He died with both his sons, grandson, wife and stepdaughter, and daughter-in-law at his side. I was holding his hand and didn't even realize he was gone when he left. The nurses came in to check his vitals when his remote monitors told them his heart had stopped. As a perfect testament to a man who never wanted to make a big deal about himself, he slipped away without a peep. I am partially destroyed, but also impossibly proud of who he was, and inspired to bring as much of his good will forward with me as I can. Love you Dad :(

Its been almost 7 years since I lost my dad in a tragic accident where he fell off the 17th floor we live in. Not a single day goes by without going through the trauma that started all the way back in 2015. I’ve had many sleepless nights and all my goals, career and life POV changed. I no longer feel broken by anything I see or witness. Its easy to comfort who’ve lost their loved ones but it just sticks with you no matter what you try to get over it. Your parents are the only people who can provide unconditional love and the thought that there’s only one person left for that kills you even more. Be grateful if you have both your parents caring for you. You’ll never know what’s going to happen, just go and give them a tight hug and tell them you love them forever.

I lost my mother's mother when I was 24 and in 2021 we lost dad. I miss both of them very much. I talk to nan a lot especially visiting her ashes. Dad wanted his ashes to go into the lake but I've asked mum if she would instead consider in the garden when we had his ceremony so I can go visit him. I also learned about my dad's depth of talent just before he got really sick in the end. It made it good and worse at the same time . I've been finding the things he taught me harder at the moment to continue with, which is music, as I'm constantly reminded of both his gifts and his good mate who was my music teacher. They were great mates. And it's hard with nan, dad and my music teacher gone, as music is a real passion for me. But it has lately become a misery and don't enjoy it. Hopefully that will change. Thanks for this great video because I've seen what things I do actually do and maybe things I could be doing. This month of April will be one year dad has been gone. Cheers and Thankyou

This is still very fresh so bear with the details. My step dad had brain cancer and the avg survival time is about a year for glioblastoma and he was right at that time. This past Friday night (jan. 1), we were watching the Ohio state vs. Clemson game in his bedroom because he could barely walk. My wife ( I just got married 3 weeks ago), Aunt and mom were there at the house. At the beginning of the 4th quarter he said he was tired and wanted to go to sleep. Shortly after he needed to go to the bathroom and tried to sit up. He said to my mom that he felt like he was going to faint. Then he layed back on the bed and started making choking sounds. My mom yelled down the stairs to me for help. We called 911 and I looked at him and his whole head was purple. He was wheezing so I thought it best to pull him onto the bed and lay him on his side. I cradled his head in my arm and was calmly tapping his shoulder saying "hey Phil hey Phil, I'm right here" He came to and started breathing. His eyes were really big and he looked at me. I kissed him on the head and said "I love you" he was able to say between heavy short breaths "I love you too" and reached his arm up and gave me a tough on the neck. I was so grateful that moment. Then the paramedics came and we struggled to get him down the stairs via chair lift. He weighed over 300 lbs so it was very difficult to move him. Once we got him on the stair lift chair he started to lose consciousness again, and was wheezing and making sounds. I followed the stretcher to the ambulance because I was helping to cross his arms to get him through the door ways and they took him in the ambulance and started doing compressions right away. it felt like a movie because I could see through the door that was half open. I thought to myself "wow, this could be a big moment for Phil, he could be seeing Jesus face to face right now". My mom and I followed the ambulance to the ER and after 20 mins we were both let in which really surprised me because of COVID. We went into a small office like room first and the doctor nurse and chaplain came. When the 3 of them came first, I knew right away that he was gone. They said once he was in the ambulance they were trying to restart his heart. I was sad that my mom did not get to really have a last good bye with him. It was sudden but not unexpected. We were able to be with his body and have some last words/prayer. When my wife and I got home I made a candle tribute to him and played the scene/song non nobis domine from Henry V and cried and made a toast to his life. The song was especially meaningful because in the scene the soldiers are carrying their dead comrades and singing... I didn't know it until later that he was already dead, but I helped carry and lift my dad's (step dad) body onto the stretcher. I think that might become a tradition that I want to keep for a long time even when I have kids. To take new years day to light candles and remember loved ones that have been lost. Sorry this post was long and maybe not well written, but I thought I would share. These lessons from Andrew are profound and very insightful. But for me, the Lord Jesus is who brings me the most peace. My heart goes out to all who have lost a parent, or anyone. May you be surrounded by love and support.
