Loss comes in many forms. Death, absence and to a lesser extent theft. You can lose someone to addiction and mental illness.
The pain is unbearable as someone goes from being the sun in your universe to nothing.
I will have to be vague but tell my story of loss while respecting my friend who is not on social media?
I don't have the right to tell his story I can only explain to you what I feel in my heart having accepted the realization that we will never speak again!
I was moved because a member of our candle family named Amy just experienced and is going through the sudden and tragic inexplicable loss of her husband of 29 years in addition to Lauren from the YouTube channel "For the love of" who lost someone very near and dear to her heart as well.
Through their pain they gave me the courage to share what I am going through. I chose not to mention them in this video but I will do so at a later time.
I'm not one to share my emotions on a level that you will see in this video and it is the rawest and most vulnerable I have ever allowed myself to be seen!
As I mentioned if you are easily triggered about topics such as suicide, loss, abuse and pain I ask that you not watch!
This video was very difficult to make but if it helps someone understand that if I can survive what I have gone through in the last 2 years anybody can.
I disabled comments because I didn't want it to be about prayers,questions or opinions.
I want people to be present and to focus their attention on what I'm saying not their rebuttals.
I will have a section in the community section of my YouTube channel if you want to discuss anything further.
I just ask out of respect that you not present me with a lot of questions.
This video is not monetized, this video is not for sympathy.
This video is to educate and inform people instead of having them make their own opinions about me because of past indiscretions on who they perceive me to be!
I love you guys with all my heart and you are an extension of my family!
I will upload again in a little bit but I wanted to share with you what I have been dealing with and I thought this video was important to make.
Please allow me a little bit of time to upload again but I will within the week and life will get back to normal.
Thank you for your unwavering support and thank you for being the best part of my day!
