    Mary Frances is too difficult 2 listen to while we are grieving..she is just too cheerful sounding! Like she is trying to put lipstick on a very sad experience..its disrespectful...showing a huge disconnect between the anguish of grief and her smile and uplifting lilt .. she delivers words that describe our grief, but her uplifting intonation does not mirror our pain of loss

    I applied to be on the show before the lockdowns. I told them I realized that I was out of their age range. However, they need to have a show for us older people because we need love too! Around 5-6 months went by and low & and behold, the "Senior edition" was announced, I couldn't believe it! But then covid and production came to a halt. Now post covid, and here we are! Sure, it could have been a coincidence. However, why did they keep the same format for all those years? And then months after I give them the idea they go and do it? Sure, we'll just say that, but I know this was all me! I don't want any money or fame, just maybe a thank you, and let you know that I am so happy that even though I did not get picked that I can help others find love, or at least hope. I explain all on my UA-cam channel. So if anyone knows how to read body language. They will know that I am telling that absolute truth.

    I lost my son october 2022, i was working at the time, and had to go back out to work, my bosses were nice to me financially, but suprising was not emotionally, they were expecting me in a space of two months i should be fine, mostly coming from my female boss. I left them the coming year 2023. My high blood pressure was coming most of the time high, i had to stay away from my job, due to lack of pressure that i have to get over quickly the lost of my son. So thank you for this program, and the love you all put out to everyone that is in this situation.❤

    Putting one foot in front of the other and just taking a shower ... those things really resonate with me. I remember my first big grief after my father died. The pain from my Dad dying caused me to tell my best friend about earlier assault traumas I had experienced 34 years earlier (I never told anyone before). Like finally pulling out a giant splinter. Ever since that time, I have to check if my shoes and socks match when I leave the house, and I started to misplace my keys -- as if I had just discovered that I was not invincible or bullet proof. During my therapy journey to feel better, my entire perspective and priorities changed on their own ... what I was thinking and "worrying" about, etc. Other losses have occurred since my Dad's death ... and I still have the same great therapist. ❤

    In the last year, I have lost my mom, my step-mom, my dad and my dad's oldest living sister. A bit much in 6 months. I am in the pastoral counseling program at CLI. I was beginning to think my own stages of grief were a bit strange. I never got along with my mom. I grieved more of the loss of my step-mom than I did from my mom.

    I’m so very sorry for your loss. You are obviously a very loving & caring parent. You read & reviews a book my mother wrote about spirt guides. But it was more of a revenge book on every person in her family including me. None of what she wrote was remotely correct or fair but because she used erroneous names no re course on the facts could be disputed. It is a book of fiction created in the mind of a narcissist, and your observations were right on point. None and I mean none of what she said about myself was true but I could care less. What upset me was I loved my grandmother dearly and the terrible things she wrote after her passing was sicking. But then she really has never had a bottom to her cruelty if it could make her a buck. That’s the truth behind her so called entrepreneurial ships. I just feel bad that the book exists where people think it’s fact and it’s nothing but horrific and fiction I guess people she wrong terribly in her life and that are not here to defend themselves. Anyhow, thank you again you’re obviously a very good person. I have have a beautiful full grown daughter whom I love with all my heart and a grandmother twice. I cannot imagine what you have been through and I want to express my truest condolences. But you are right she is beyond the vail. And she is watching out for you protecting you with her love till you meet again. All my warmest love & light to you 🩷🌹

We were going through a relationship mess in the moment of his death. This feels like a reset. It's devastating. I just said to my friend, that i am going to end up as this spooky elderly woman, who does this crazy reaserch on the unexplained death case of her ex fiancé. If I ever get out of the bed.

  • @justme9818
    @justme9818 4 місяці тому

    Some information/ feedback from a twin who lost her twin at a very early age: the connection between twins is so deep it's actually the primary 'attachment' - not the mother, (or father) as is usually the case with an infant. As a result, with twinless twins, there's the loss of the twin, the kids of the twinship and the loss of the 'primary attachment'. What complicates the attachment trauma is that that it can't be replicated. It's literally impossible. I don't mean this in a hopeless way, just in a realistic way. What was left of me, after losing my twin, was only about 1/3 of what I'd experienced as 'me' before then. And it was an anchorless, deserted sort of third. It was so overshadowed by the 2/3 of loss it hardly seemed to exist -The loss felt more like nuclear destruction than grief. Long-term, the hardest part wasn't how appalling the grief was, or the trauma was. The hardest part, to this day, is that, fundamentally, I don't actually know how to function as a person on my own. People who aren't twins seem to have a completely different way of operating in the world and 44 years later I still can't get the hang of it. Whatever way i developed as a twin, it doesn't help me to function in the world on my own. I'd go so far as to say, so much of how I learned to be as a twin, actually goes against me when I'm the world as a single person. The alienation is incredible. So you could add the loss of society, as an optional fourth loss. I think the only way to describe this to a non-twin is to ask them to imagine how they'd feel if they didn't have a body anymore. If you were asked to learn how to be in the world without your body. That's the degree of disorientation you find yourself in, when your twin is gone. That's how hard it is to learn how to 'be' all over again, in a world that makes no sense. It's as if my twin and i existed on another plane, and noone else ever heard of it. As if I still speak a completely different language to everyone else. I didn't intend to write so much, I better stop there. I hope some of this helps.

I am grateful that just this month I’m feeling true healing and peace. I devoured grief books and have a strong faith in the Lord so I know He is the true source of my restoration. In addition, my faith and my husband’s faith assures us that he is in a better place and no longer suffering as he was the last 3yrs of his life. I have not dated but “might”be open to that next year. Question can you be friends with a man?

    When we do invite someone romantically into our life, that is a choice we make. And by choice we are taking on the responsibility for their emotional well-being in feeling loved, desired and needed....Their feelings and emotions are just as fragile and precious as ours, and no one gets a special pass on not looking out for them just because they are widowed. If a widowed cannot give the same undivided love and attention to a new love, which they deserve, as they did for their late spouse, it would be best if they remain single. There is no shame in remaining single, but there is in manipulating someone's emotions and feelings. No one would put up with a with the one they love being still in love, and showing it, with an ex-spouse or someone they dated. And no one should have to put up with it from someone widowed.
