Stand-up comedian, actor and writer Kelley Lynn has performed in the same lineups with Amy Schumer, Jim Gaffigan and Elayne Boosler. Lynn is probably best known for her comedy videos on YouTube; her most recent video, “I’ve McFallen,” has been viewed over 50 million times worldwide. She’s also known for her scathingly funny TV reviews of shows like “The Bachelor” and “Dancing with the Stars.” The latter show’s host, Tom Bergeron, tweeted that Lynn was “witty and wonderfully snarky.”
Lynn is also a regular presenter at the “Soaring Spirits International” annual events called “Camp Widow,” a three-day conference held in the U.S. and Canada for widowed men and women. She is currently writing her first book, My Husband Is Not a Rainbow: The Brutally Awful, Hilarious Truth About Life, Love, Grief, and Loss, with a tentative release date of winter 2017. Her proudest accomplishment continues to be when she was blocked on Twitter by President Donald Trump. Lynn has a B.F.A. in Theatre from Adelphi University, where she went on to teach courses in acting and stand-up comedy for the past 16 years. You can see more of her work at ripthelifeiknew.com.

The truth is- you will NEVERRRRR everrr know how it feels until it happens to you .
-
When someone you love dies, a part of you dies with them.

I pray for everyone watching this video because I think we're all watching this for a reason. Don't ever let someone tell you not to talk about your past loved ones or to stop mourning them. I honor the people I've lost every day and that is the only thing that makes me happy and keeps me going. I will keep doing it no matter what happens or who says anything and you all should continue doing the same as long as it brings you some kind of peace.

I lost my loving mother 3 days before Christmas. She passed away peacefully in hospice from end stage Parkinson's, dementia, and a stroke that paralyzed the left side of her body. I was by her side until her last breath. I miss my mom so much.

The saddest part of life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory.

Have anyone else noticed that you don't fear death after you loose your loved ones 💔 you just wish you also die to be with them 😥 I miss you mum 😥😥😥

Grief for a loved one is the loneliest place you can be. Or so I've found. I lost my boyfriend of 4 years suddenly and unexpectedly in February this year. 2/20/22. The next day I found my engagement ring in his room. I had lost my dad 3 months prior and my dog of 17 years only a month before. This has been the loneliest 10 months of my life. I will never get over him and moving on without him is the hardest thing I have ever tried to do. I needed to hear this speech. I'm working on myself but it is a lonely and sad existence. Thank you for these understanding and heartfelt words.

There absolutely isn’t a thing as forgetting and letting go of grief. I will never be okay.

“You can’t move on from love. Love is the only thing that never dies”
-
I hate when people say move on, the pain of the death of a loved one leaves a permanent void in one's soul.

There is no process of grief, every process has an end, but grief is for life and is there to stay. You don't move on from grief you move forward with it. Somedays you are doing good, but somedays even in the middle of your daily life chores the thought of the person you lost hits you and you start missing the person, you miss the person so much that it's physically painful.

It's been over three years and I still move around like a lost child. The loneliness, the pain, that feeling of despair... it's undescribable.

Came here to find comfort from grief. Woke up in the middle of the night, missing my dad terribly. He just left 6 days ago.
-
“The fear of forgetting the sound of their voice.” That hit hard. It’s been three years and I’m still adjusting to life without them in it.

My best friend died 6 weeks ago, and I am completely devastated. We were best friends for 44 years. The grief washes over me in waves, I think this will haunt me forever. My heart breaks for everyone else who has felt this pain.

I lost my mom today, on march 15th. She passed away due to liver cancer. She was only 56 years old and i am 22. I was her only child. It’s been really hard, but this video has helped me a lot, thank you so much ❤

“You can’t move on from Love. Love is the only thing that never dies.” I’m bawling.
-
The amount of grief is in direct proportion to the amount of love. 💜

It’s been 40 years since my mom died and I am sitting crying because I miss her badly!!I want to cuddle with mom, hear her tell me how proud she is of me. I miss the smell of her perfume. She always had home made cookies for me and my brothers for after school. The pain never goes away. I love you mom and you will always be in my heart forever. The pain atm is pretty unbearable. I just want my mom back!

You can move on from a breakup and find someone better, but you can never move on from a death of a loved one. They can never be replaced.
