A video and screenshots are circulating that people are claiming show Kenneka Jenkins’ mother on a live, visibly distressed, talking about being a “beast,” making intense faces, and appearing to have saliva at her mouth while she speaks into the camera. Watching it doesn’t feel like drama…It feels like a person unraveling in public, in front of an audience that keeps feeding the moment instead of asking the only question that matters…Who is making sure she is safe right now I’m not going to diagnose her from a clip and I’m not going to pretend I know what’s behind it, because none of us do. But I will say this plainly…when someone looks this overwhelmed and dysregulated on camera, it’s not “tea,” it’s a warning sign. Grief, trauma, substance issues, mental health crises, or a mix of all of it can show up in ways that are loud and hard to watch, and the internet is selfish because it sees a breakdown and immediately reaches for the repost button Kenneka’s name has been carried online for years, argued over, picked apart, and turned into a forever case people use to fuel their own theories. But behind all that noise is still a mother. If you claim you care about justice, then don’t turn a possible crisis into content. Don’t stitch it for laughs. Don’t clip it into memes. And don’t sit there “concerned” while doing nothing but spreading it farther. The most “justice” thing anyone can do in a moment like this is stop exploiting it and start pushing for real support from the people in her life and local services who can actually intervene #KennekaJenkins #JusticeForKenneka #TereasaMartin #Chicago #Grief #Trauma #MentalHealth #CommunityCare #StopExploitingPain #ProtectBlackWomen

A woman is going viral after sharing a deeply personal decision she made following the loss of her dog. After he passed away, she chose to have him freeze-dried as a way to cope with her grief — a choice that has sparked intense discussion online. She explained that the process helped her feel a sense of peace and closure during an incredibly painful time. According to her, being able to keep her dog in this form allowed her to process the loss in her own way and eventually move forward. “It’s been able to help me move on from his passing,” she shared. While some people online were shocked or uncomfortable with the idea, others defended her decision, saying grief looks different for everyone. Many pet owners chimed in, sharing how losing an animal can feel just as devastating as losing a family member, and how there’s no single “right” way to heal. The conversation has opened up a broader discussion about grief, attachment, and how far people are willing to go to preserve the bond they had with a beloved pet. Whether viewed as unconventional or comforting, her story highlights how deeply animals impact our lives — and how personal the grieving process truly is. #Grief #PetLoss #DogLovers #Healing #MentalHealth #GrievingProcess #ViralStory #PetParents #EmotionalHealing #LifeStories #InternetDebate

When grief hits live on air: A real moment

Watching CBS meteorologist Nikki-Dee Ray break down in tears during a live broadcast after a segment on grief was a powerful reminder of how loss can sneak up on us, even in the most public moments. She’d just lost her PaPa, and the wave of emotion was so real, her anchor Jennifer Kraus stopped everything to comfort her. It’s touching to see that kind of support on TV—and it really makes you think about how many of us are quietly carrying grief, especially during the holidays. How do you handle those unexpected waves? #Health #BodyHealth #grief

One Hebrew word changed how I understand grief.

In English, grief sounds like sadness. An emotion you feel, then slowly move past. But in Ecclesiastes, the Hebrew word avel is used. Avel does not describe a feeling. It describes a condition that hangs over life. It is the heaviness that does not leave quickly. The quiet weight you carry into ordinary days. The sense that something good ended, and nothing replaced it. This kind of grief is familiar to those who have lived long enough to lose. Not just people, but seasons. Roles. Versions of yourself. Scripture does not rush avel. It names it, and lets it stay. Avel reminds us that grief is not a phase you fail to exit. Sometimes it is simply part of being faithful to what mattered. #BibleStudy #HebrewWord #Grief #Loss #FaithAndAging

Would You Give Back Your Ex’s Ring?

Imagine wearing your late fiancé’s ring for 11 years, only for his mom to suddenly demand it back because you’ve moved on. That’s what happened to one woman, and now the internet is divided. The ring isn’t even a family heirloom—it’s a unique piece she picked out with her fiancé. She still wears it to honor him, but his mom says it belongs with the family. Would you give it back or keep it? #Relationships #relationships #grief

The first Christmas without Dad, but we still set a plate for him.

Mom insisted on it. I thought it would be too sad, but as we sat around the table sharing stories about the time Dad burned the turkey, I felt like he was right there. The grief is still real, but love is learning how to move forward with the memories. #Grief #Family #InMemory #HolidaySpirit

When grief meets neighborhood rules

Losing someone is hard enough without having to fight over their memory. One widow found herself clashing with a neighbor who kept leaving notes on her late husband’s car, demanding it be moved—even though it’s her last real connection to him. The car still holds his coffee cup, sunglasses, and even a grocery list in his handwriting. While the neighbor insists on rules and expired tags, she’s just not ready to let go. It’s a tough reminder that grief doesn’t follow a schedule, and sometimes, what looks like ‘just a car’ is so much more. How do you balance personal loss with community expectations? #Relationships #grief #community
