I for one am just loving all the videos! I really could just watch you every day. I too lost my hubby some years ago and it takes a toll on the emotions and physically. I still get teary eyed if I talk about him too much. So talk all you want, make all the videos you want and do what feels comfortable and healing. 🐱💜💚
Laurie my mother died suddenly from a brain injury. So blessed that her cousin a retired RN. It was so sudden the had come back from dinner with her (a hole) husband, her cousin and her significant other. They were all going on a cruise together. She was getting into her pajamas and ran out to the bathroom suddenly nauseous and told her a-hole “I am dying”. He called her cousin/RN and she had just left and was their in minutes. Had to tell the a hole to get out of her way, the bathroom was small and crowded and she actually had to tell him “call 911”. My mothers cousins did all she could do and when the ambulance came she had her arms in the air reaching out to the Lord, Angel or a loved one he sent for her. We got the call about 2am or 3 am and on a plane by 530 am from Cleveland to Tampa. They life flighted her to Tampa Hospital and her cousin never left her side. We went directly to the hospital and so thankful for her cousin telling the nurses to administer a certain medication so that her body would stay warm when we arrived. When we got their my brother who is a minister was singing to her, her a hole was just standing there. My sister and I climbed into bed next to her and she was so warm. It felt like she was napping, but her souls had left her body. I couldn’t stop looking at her, she was so beautiful, we are both fair complected, but I don’t think I have ever seen her so beautiful and at peace. We all knew she wanted to be an organ donor and we signed for that and looked through the book for a crematory. They had us to go to the waiting room to test to see if she was truly brain dead, we all knew she was. We saw her again and I told her how much I loved her and she was always enough for me. After the test we went back in the room and her body was ice cold. It made it more real. This is the miracle, I have never had a good sense of smell, but after all was said and done, for the next 3 days I could smell her perfume at random times. Nobody else could smell the scent. The 1st night we were all under so much stress and pain, I was sharing my mom’s room and I was sitting up and the scent was there. She hasn’t slept there yet, I asked my sister and she didn’t smell anything and I gently moved her head to the spot and she could smell the scent and we both knew she was with us. I could smell her at the crematory, in the car in the condo. I feel that was her special way of letting me know she was ok. When we cleaned out her clothes I took a simple silk scarf that smelled like her perfume (put it into a ziploc bag)I took it and gave it to my sister, she and my mom were always close, I thought my sister should have it. It has been 14 years and it still smells like my moms perfume. I had 2 very expensive rings I had given mom she wore them all of the time and had given her matching earrings to match the beautiful opal ring.l ll(Ahe lost one)I didn’t think I would take them off ever. I always loved them so much. I had a jeweler turn the remaining earring into a matching pendant. They are so beautiful and I wore them, but they didn’t feel right on me. So my daughter and mother shared the opal birthstone (October 12th/mom & October 16th/daughter. So my daughter came by and I felt she should have them and gave them to her. We cried together, but it felt like she should have them and I know she cherishes them. When my mom was alive she gave me her engagement and wedding ring my dad gave her, it feels right when I wear them. My nephew proposed with her wedding set she bought when she married the a hole. I don’t have anything from her, in all honesty I am at peace with it. I never had a close bond with my mother and to be honest she didn’t want or love me. I had my dad and on his side my aunt and grandmother were not my biological mother, but they were the ones who loved and raised me. I wouldn’t part with anything they gave me and I change jewelry often and it always feels like I am meant to wear them. I think Michael’s spirit needs to make sure you and Nicole are going to be ok, he wants you to know he is ok and when he does go to Heaven, he will visit you in your dreams, when that happens let them bring love and peace to you knowing he is still watching over you. I have dreamed about my dad and woke up crying and dreams of my mom. When I see a butterfly 🦋 it reminds me of my baby. They aren’t here on Earth with me, but they are always in my heart.
Love watching your videos Laurie. You are comforting us just as much as we are comforting you! Your videos are making me want to clean up my house!!! I'm so happy that Nicole is going to stay with you! I don't think you should be alone. I'm sure you are coping better then Michael would be. Woman seem to be much stronger then men!! I just bought a little smoothie book from the grocery store. I need some new ideas and to stop eating so much garbage. You are inspiring me in that way too~! Take care Laurie and Poo Doo see you tomorrow!! <3
How come you all don’t go places when it rains lol?! I’ve never heard of that before. I dont enjoy driving in the rain but it doesn’t keep me from going places
Hey Lori…just a suggestion..but if you have leftover sheets or blankets after giving some away the Humane Society is always in need of sheets, blankets, towels, etc.
The patio looks fantastic Laurie and your not even finished yet . Don’t forget to get rid of the coffee table behind the couch I know you said you wanted rid of it a long time ago .Now you get to do what ever you want with the house no more compromising. I’m loving the daily videos .
After my mother’s passing I took up her hobby of jigsaw puzzles, I started with 300-500 pieces. They make jigsaw trays lap or standing trays and I found doing Christmas and Nature Scenes calms me.
So nice to see you are doing a little better. I love your videos. You like a lot of the same foods and things that I do! I need to start watching my sodium and cholesterol and you gave me some good tips! I just turned 70, so I really need to get serious about it. You also inspired me to do my Spring cleaning projects! Thank you and take care. 🙂
Hi Laurie & PooDoo! Glad you are keeping busy. Maybe, talking to a therapist might help you with what you just went through. I give you a lot of credit for staying in the house. I’ve always said if one of my loved ones passed away where we are living, I would have to move out. I wouldn’t be able to stay. Please keep some rest, and take care.
Of course Mike is there with you & poo doo ❤👼🏻 he will always be right by your side 🙏 after my father passed I always used to ask him to please send me signs.. And boy did he ever! ❤ 🌷 I’m always so happy to see your new videos it gives us the chance to see how you are doing because I know everyone in your YouTube family is worried about you.. We need to see your doing ok! We are all your friends & extended family 😊
Morning Laurie and poo doo it’s Monday morning and it’s raining here too I watch the scammer videos on YouTube. Michael was a big part of your life Laurie and it’s natural that you are going to talk about him I enjoy the story’s you tell us about you and Michael and your life to get her
Hi Laurie. Hope you are doing well! Much love and prayers for you and Poodoo. Can you tell me what that thing is called that you did the eggs in please? I would love one of those! 🍄💚 Xx
Love your video. I love cleaning, organizing. Those are some of my favorites. I grew up (very early years) in San Diego. And I was about in the 3rd grade when we moved to Washington state. I don’t know too much about anything being so young. But once all my cousins and myself started to learned to drive – I remember my cousin Adam saying he can’t go somewhere because it was raining.. and I was like really?! Why? Never thinking anything of it – I guess when you live in washington if you didn’t go out in the rain or drive in the rain you wouldn’t leave your house for about 9 months out of the year Hahaha. Anyway it was an interesting perspective – you just reminded me of that. Haha ❤
Sweet Laurie, you might want to search for grief counseling nearby or online. My mother did it when we lost my dad, as he passed away as she and my brother were moving him up in bed on a wedge he used for shortness of breath due to his congestive heart failure. She and my brother had PTSD from actually seeing him pass away, and my mom went to a local hospice where she was a volunteer and had nothing but good things to say about the grief counseling there. Upon a quick search I see that there seem to be lots of options available online, and even on YT, or other social media, you could find others going thru the same thing. Keep talking to us when you want. Much love and many prayers for you and Poo Doo. Hope you get more time off. You have done an incredible amount of work, and everything is coming along beautifully 💜💜💜
Thanks for letting us hang out with you Laurie!! Love seeing you busy and adjusting. Wish you lived closer and you could come and organize my home, lol. I need to do some major decluttering and organizing. Tfs, and I am praying everyday gets a little easier for you. Hugs💜
Love spending time with you Laurie. And girl! It's alright hearing you talk about Michael and how you feel. We will go with all this with you cause we love ya & care very much for you and poo doo. This are what friends are there for good times and not so good ones. ❤️🤗🌻
I’ve been watching you for years, since the days of all your Dooney unboxings. As time goes by we change and adjust. I love all your many changes and videos. We are going through the seasons of our lives together and I hope that gives you some comfort. We are always here for you. I’m so glad for YouTube. I’m so glad you had the courage so long ago to introduce yourself to us. We all learn from each other. Don’t ever change Laurie, you’re awesome just as you are. Take good care of yourself.❤ see ya tomorrow 😊
I got pooped out just watching you today 😅 Everything is looking great Laurie. I hope you are able to take a few more days off before you return to work.
Hey Laurie I'm so glad that you got to see you're best friend and you just hang in their I don't mind if you talk about Mike I'm always here for you ❤ ♥ 💗 💖 💕 💙 ❤ ♥ 💗 💖 💕
I’m sure you do have ptsd from the shock and loss you’ve endured…you are doing a great job with the house and it makes me want to start purging and organizing too! Keep the videos coming! Take care of yourself!
