All the words I've struggled to say since losing my son.. You sir just said them! My life has changed, I've changed. The world is so much simpler, most things aren't important but things that are I'm blessed to know the difference. Love and compassion.. Everyone has pain none of us get to excape that fate so please just love each other and know tomorrow is not promised ♥ don't wait for life to be painless to be greatful for it... Or You'll be waiting until it's over. May God have mercy on us all 🤗

Oh sweetheart... I've not lost a child but a mother and shortly after a best friend (well before his time) this year. We each need to grieve in our own way. Someone wise told me that 'we are all just visitors to our time and our place and then we all return home, wherever that is'. That helped me a lot, I know grief is a lonely place but being with good friends can help. Bless ya. ❤ From an Australian cousin.

This video broke me down one of my nephews went thru that and so many surgeries on a little person while the Doctors said he wouldn't live past 8 years he's in his late 20's and we've counted every moment a testimony of miracles being real

Joe, Rob, Thank you. 🙏

I lost my son this summer and every day since has felt like a nightmare, to varying degrees but without exception. The hardest part for me has been feeling incapable of returning to the world that everyone else occupies, feeling like an alien that was just dropped off from a parallel universe. Very few people understand the pain that you feel from the moment you wake up until the moment you fall asleep. It is always either present or coming for you shortly like the entity in the movie It Follows. My son died from brain injuries sustained during birth and dare I say I am THRILLED to read about another parent's experience with the death of their infant. I go to child-loss groups and the average age is about 65 (I am 38), parents that lost their sons and daughters to fentanyl or suicide mostly. It is very hard to relate when I never got to know my first child and am left wondering what they would have been like, and what traits they would have taken from me. At least I won't have to worry about whether or not he would have gotten my crooked teeth or his mom's straight ones. Hey Rob, did you also inquire with the doctors about options for a full brain transplant, or ask them if they were going to go with the ol' pillow over the mouth (while motioning it) when discussing end-of-life options? Looking forward to reading this, thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Bless you. You are a gift. As a mother your words touched the deepest parts of my Soul.

I really get that. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

Would have been nice to hear a little about Henry's Mom that was cut off at the end.

All the comments below that are so politicized despite this segment on a deeply personal loss. Many broken minds and hearts.

Say something stupid again, non American democrat funded fake unfed unresponsive bot

People are asking why a propaganda network like MSDNC is running a story like this. 99 percent of MSDNC's stories are about hate. Maybe these people are trying to sound like they're compassionate. We're not fooled. If the father was a MAGAt, you'd hear these 'broken minds and hearts' cheering that there's one less future MAGAt in the world.

Please refer to suicide as death by suicide NOT committed suicide. Suicide is not a crime.

I wonder about the raw unvarnished pain that Lori Klausutis... Scarborough's dead intern... felt ?

That's the kind of thing you like to ponder, huh?

@jacovawernett3077 Рік тому

Joseph Jones, really you have that much avarice inside you. I pity you. I'll pray for you. I know grieving. I'm a Lou Gehrigs widow. Empathy. I know that too. You may want to tap into that. I'll teach you some Aramaic. The language Jesus spoke. Schlama means peace. Malkuth means heaven. Hubba means love.
