    Today I found out about the sudden death of a good friend (forever 16 🕊️) and the death of a close family friend who died due to an ignored mental condition. I'm just about to start collage and I don't want grief to bring me down and stop me from achieving. Ive only just been able to stop crying.

    Honestly, I just looked up heart break grief and this showed up. No disrespect- but isn’t heart break also grief? You’re grieving the loss of a person you valued. Grieving over someone you loved. Grieving the person who changed in matters of months. Grieving over the person you fell in love with in the start but over time changed. Or grieving the version of them that never existed in the first place. Basically, grieving over a ghost of a person who is no longer in your life. Especially if it wasn’t an amicable break up. I’m so sorry for anyone experiencing loss and grief, no matter what kind. Pain of losing someone you love is not the easiest of human emotions. You aren’t alone! Help is out there. Reach out! Love and healing to you 💎✨

    My dad died last week, I can't cope through a day without wailing in pain, I've stressed myself so much I've gotten a cold from all the aching grief I've experienced over the last week. To top it off I am working on his slideshow for his celebration of life next week, and I feel useless unable to do it because every video and photo makes me cry, I won't give the job to anyone else because I feel like this is my last chance to show how much he means to me, now one can do a better slideshow.

    TIME-TRAVEL IS REAL BUT NOT YET SCIENTIFIC: SAVE YOUR DEAD OR SICK RELATIVES Absolutely! I've dedicated over a decade to exploring this realm, which lies beyond the confines of scientific inquiry. Spirituality emerges where science concludes its journey. Many spiritual phenomena remain elusive to conventional science and may take millennia to comprehend fully by the conventional scientists. As a great and seasoned spiritualist with a plethora of glowing testimonials and 5-star reviews worldwide, I've assisted countless interested individuals in unlocking their ability and experience time-travel effortlessly. Most spiritual achievements are still outside the scope/reach of conventional science and may take millennia to catch up like I said. I have helped hundreds of people with the power to time-travel at will. Yes and that's the fact, believe it or not. I can take you back in time into as far back as the pre-historic periods of millions of years or for just yesterday. Apart from TIME TRAVEL, I am also into love spell and quick money 💰 charms. I can help you get back from him/her that your ex that you still admire within 24 hours and I can make you a millionaire overnight depending on interest. Spirituality is real and the achievements are currently beyond the scope of conventional science. Believe it or not like I said, spiritual realm exists. It's just like untapped frequencies known only to the very little segment of the society There are lots of silent time-travelers all around us but people are blind to recognizing them. The results of spiritual time-travel is what people call "miracles". I already took more than 100 people to pre-dinosaurs ages when our planet was populated and roamed by pelycosaurs, archosaurs, and therapsids. These are actually pre-historic periods before dinosaurs. Practically speaking, I can send you back in time to save your dead/sick relatives or to save yourself from the current state of misadventures like sickness etc. I can give you a second chance to easily go back into the past to rewrite histories. If past mistakes haunt you, whether a failed exam or a morning mishap, I offer the chance to rewrite history. You can revisit moments, refining outcomes without alerting those around you to the subtle timeline alterations. As a student, if you fail an exam as a result of your inadequate preparation, I can help you can go back in time to something like 6 or 12 months earlier, re-prepare for the exam and re-sit the exam. It's a great opportunity to excel better. To the people around you, it will just pass like a glitch and in nanoseconds. If you had a stubbed toe this morning while going out around 8am and as a result of this, you sustained injuries. I can help you go back in time to around 30 minutes earlier and that would be 7:30am. You can re-decide to stay home and the injuries will be avoided. People around you at the current time will only notice the change as a glitch. "MIRACLES". That's the only language that the world understands and that's what they call it because of their hatred for the word "Spirituality". They are oblivious of the underlying activities/spiritual mechanics. They are only conscious of the final results dogged "Miracles" because everything passed like a glitch. People are deeply engrossed and enveloped in their religion madness and sluggish scientific limitation mediocrity.

    I just lost my grandpa an hour ago. I wasn’t able to even get to the hospital in time. But the nurse held up the phone so I could talk to him and for the first time since getting there he responded. He mumbled something and nodded his head. He even tried to open his eyes. They pulled the plug less than an hour later. I can’t believe he’s gone. Goodbye grandpa. I love you.

    Someone asked me,”What do you say to someone who just lost a son?” I said,”You don’t have to say anything. Be there so they can have a shoulder to cry on. Make them coffee. Sweep their floors or wash their dishes, watch a movie, hold their hand. You don’t need to say anything. Just be there and let them know you care. Call them and ask how they’re doing. If they want to talk, just listen. Don’t try to fix them. It just takes time.”

    It always makes me suspicious when the government and corporations move together to heavily endorse pinpointing 'mental illness' as a problem to be solved by the individual. Yes, talking honestly and openly helps a lot. But in all honesty, are we really allowed to talk honestly and openly about things that really matter these days? There is a stench of hypocrisy and a dirty agenda from this charity. They'll be visiting my daughters school next month. I will remind her to stay critical.

I was still looking forward to the days of giving my son life advice and ensuring that he does not need to worry about his burdens as I had to. That life is gone and I get a painful existence till the end. Pretending for my daughter, trying to make some kind of co-existence with my wife work.
