  • $cientology is a psuedoreligion.

    It's a cult of greed.

  • People, please let up. This is an extremely educational video. It is not THERAPY!!! You obviously have difficulty distinguishing between the two. I lost my entire family within the last 10 years. I was an only child and grandchild and as such, caretaker. I have a hole in my heart I know I cannot fill...but as a result of gleaning INFORMATION (such as in this video) I was capable of extrapolating that which pertained to me. You would be shocked at how grief can ravage your body and mind.

  • denisematteau you dumb shit, your existence is a boundless transgression against the universe.

  • Primary libidinal bond? Go to hell, you New York bitch. Human beings lose LOVED ONES. You jews are sick. you are sickening, you are filthy scum and pure evil. You don't even know what a LOVED ONE is . 

  • I'm 14. My grandma is dying, she has very low chances to survive... I don't know what to do, really. T_T But it's part of life.. sadly

  • I lost my fiance 5 years back and I still haven't completely healed from it. For the most part I've moved on because I had to but it still gets to me in the quiet hours of the night. Sometimes it gets real bad, but I have friends and they help me carry on.

  • to ryun sharp, I am sorry about your loss and I hope that like me, you will have the courage to move on. My son is 17 and lost his dad, you are not on your own, focus on good things and by time you will feel the hurt even less. Believe me we lost a loved one too. Try going to the gym, it does wonders.

  • People who come and tell us to get over it don't realize the feeling of bereavement.

    We needed those loved ones to help move on with our lives. True friends don't come around the fucking corner.

  • Cult's and religions have alot in common.

    Cult's are small religion's. Religions are big cults.

  • I don't know to agree or disagree with you

    Ive been threw hell

    and there's no way to tell what happened

  • i'm not even sure what you just said. rearn the engrish.

  • when i was 13 i had a pet fly and he died that very day :(
