“Lexie... I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to a heart attack going on 3 years ago in September, I was 23 at the time. He was only 55. He also passed in his sleep. I’ll never forget the phone call and the gut wrenching feeling that something bad had happened but my stepmom wouldn’t tell me until I was home and not in the car (I was at work initially). I listened to both your podcasts and can relate sooo much to those immediate feelings you had and I’m so happy for you that you documented that moment, no matter how tragic it was. Losing a parent at a young age is a feeling totally indescribable unless you live through it. I watched your mom in your vlogs for years and hearing you talk about her and seeing her just shows how much of a sweet, gentle soul she was. I know there’s nothing anybody can say or do that will bring your mom back but just know you are not alone in this. The grieving will never go away, but it will get easier, I promise. I think about my dad EVERY day and I try to talk about him as much as possible to keep his spirit alive. I’m getting married this August and the thought of not having him walk me down the aisle was something that immediately popped into my head the moment I heard the news. But I’ll be okay. He will be there in my heart and in so many other ways. Also, don’t be ashamed or feel bad for ways that you may cope along the way. I used to feel so guilty for not crying enough because he was gone but I came to the realization that that’s just my way of grieving, and it’s valid. There is no manual or right/wrong way to grieving a loss of a loved one. You are so strong and again I am so very sorry. You’re mom was one of kind and you should be so proud to be her daughter. I hope this gets to you one way or another and just know you’re never alone ❤️ RIP”
