<p>To Adriene and community, thank you. For the past year and a half my husband has been in a mental health crisis. It has been devastating for our sweet little family including our 4 year old son.  But every day also has joy and many of the tools I have to get through this time I learned through my daily YWA practice.  I chose this practice today because it is my last one in our dream house. I made the decision to sell and downsize to better manage on one income.  I know it is just a house but it is a real tangible symbol of the loss of the life I thought I would have.  So my doggie Buddy and I came up to our normal spot, now empty, with just my mat and my laptop and did one final, beautiful loving practice.  My life can be really lonely right now but I feel held and supported by this community daily.  So thank you and please know for anyone out there who is grieving or lonely Buddy and I have your back too!!!</p>

Adriene, thank you for this practice. I lost my wonderful husband of 18 years four days ago. I needed this as I am broken.

<p>Thank you Adriene and Benji. I buried my dog Sunny a few hours ago. I feel very alone with this grief.</p>

My beloved husband passed away yesterday age 48. As always YWA and FWFG is my first stop for some movement and grounding 🙏🙏💔

<p>Recently I've been diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency. This effectively means I'm going through menopause at 35. I had wanted to try for kids this year and was told I have very little chance of conceiving with my own eggs (IVF is not an option without donor eggs). I've been grieving the loss of my genetics - something I always took for granted. That my child will not have my curls or my dimples - quiet things you didn't know you were looking forward to. It's a complicated grief and hard to hold onto while remaining hopeful and navigating the rest of what comes with this diagnosis. YWA has been my safe haven. For my body when stress bends and breaks it. For my mind when it's all too much. I love this community, thank you.</p>

Exactly one year ago I miscarried my baby and almost 3 weeks ago I lost my husband, too. It’s almost 1 am and no way I could fall asleep, pain was too deep. This practice relaxed me and gave me some kind of inner peace. Forever grateful Adriene, thank you so much ❤️

<p>OK, this one is a Biggy for me. It's one thing I really haven't talked about. My ex partner and I were together for 21 years. I had to end it in 2010. Filed in 2006 and took four years. She liked to drink. (I don't) It was hard for me but I had to let her go. But now coming up very soon will be two years ago that she had ended her life.</p><p>Even though I wasn't with her, it's still hurt.</p><p>Just last night I had a dream where I saw her passing in a car. Then this video came up. Somehow I suppose this is the way maybe to remember. But I choose to forget. There were a lot of bad memories but that doesn't mean I didn't care.</p><p>Thank you Adriene for this video. And all your videos. Really helps me. This community has helped me so much in the past. It's giving me new life! Sending love ✨🤍✨</p>

<p>I lost my daughter yesterday. She was 29. Expansion is hard</p>

<p>I am 23 years old, and I lost my father to late stage liver cancer last November, two months after I started my PhD. I ran my first half marathon in his memory and raised £425 for cancer research UK. I have been doing a lot to process my grief. I am living my life more fully because of my loss. My mum says my dad is now light, so where there is light, he is there as well. At the end of today’s practice, the sunshine landed right on my face and lingered. Is that you, dad? I love you so so much.</p>

<p>I lost my father on Thanksgiving. My heart is broken. I’m understanding grief for the first time in my life. Sending love and comfort to any and everyone here and all over the world dealing with the same. 🤍</p>
