Also, I encourage you to try and find as many ways and outlets as possible to feel better: exercise, writing, therapy, yoga meditation etc… See if anything helps. There is hope. You are not alone. And your story is still being written. <3 Lauren
Meet Roger! Roger lost his mother when he was 23 years old. Ever since, he has struggled with grief, anxiety and depression. He misses his mother who was a source of love and comfort in his life. One of his favorite memories of his mom is seeing her joy when she watched him perform in his first band concert in high school.
While Roger has found healing in writing, giving back to others and expressing himself through photography, there are still days that he struggles.
Write to Roger about your experience with loss, your favorite memories with your loved one and what has helped bring peace to your life and your grief. You can respond to this thread or post your own letter in this group or the group Remembering those we lost and tag Roger @oneturbobenz

Dear Roger,
It is always so painful to lose someone you love who is so very close to you. Their spirit and light is always with you. I feel your pain. I have lost both my dear parents and this loss is felt every day. But I will say that I always try to live each day with purpose and happiness because I know that is what my…read more
I’m so sorry for your loss, and believe me I truly understand, especially when it comes to your mom. I lost my mom in 2016, and to this day, I still struggle with hurt, anger and disbelief, because I feel that she should still be here. I hated the way I wasn’t there when she passed, but feel I or someone in the family should have been. I hate that…read more
@oneturbobenz Every time you share this story with me it reminds me why I do what I do. I am so sorry you were hurting and i am so sorry you lost your mother, but I am so glad that The Unsealed has helped you heal and get back on track. And also, I am so glad we’ve been able to build a beautiful friendship. Please keep taking pictures. Keep staying positive. Keep listening to your mother. While I am not a mother, I know any mom would not what to see their child hurting. She would want you to remember her but she wants you to enjoy life, chase your dreams, make friends, leave your comfort zone and lean in to the things that make you happy. Keep her in your heart, but don’t let your mother be the reason you don’t live a full and happy life. That is the very last thing she’d want. Anyways, we will always be here to support and encourage you. And I am beyond touched that our work has had such a large impact on your life.
