If you've been wondering why I haven't been around much, this is why.

I lost my mom.

I’m going to be making content about what’s happening and dealing with grief, but I wanted to tell you guys first.

I'm so for your loss. I can't even imagine what it is like. Take all the time you need we are all much stronger thanks to your videos and we'll be just fine until you can get back on track.

I am so sorry. My mom is like my best friend. I couldn't imagine. Let me know if you need anything.

Kelda Kellie

I'm 50 and here intermittently and see how bleeeping hard this is for you now. My intuition is telling me to soon for humour, fidget, lie on the floor of discontent, scream at the clouds and you've probably already done what I did when my dad crossed over is bang a cupboard and come out with a sore arm the next day. It is hared right now and we here love you so much Jessica McCabe. <3

Angela Gildner

Deepest condolences. My heart hurts for you. I can all too easily remember how it felt to loose my mom unexpectedly, 13th years ago this month. I hope you will grow to find, as I did, that though she is no longer here, she is still with you, and in you, whenever you need her.

Barry Klieger

Jessica - So very sorry . . . Now’s the time to be kind to yourself . . . Will be holding you in my prayers!

I am so so sorry for your loss! Take care of yourself.

Jacquie Harris

I'm so sorry to hear this. I lost my mum 7 years ago and I miss her everyday. I am new to your patreon and to my ADHD diagnosis but the amount you've helped me already is astronomical! Please make sure you take some time for yourself to process and don't beat yourself up with whatever coping mechanism you chose in this time.

I just found your channel and have only in the last year or so really started to understand what having ADHD is and how it has shaped my entire life (I’m 38). I also lost my mom about a month ago, after 6 months of her being in constant medical care and seeing your post here really hit me. My condolences on your loss, and my true sympathies on tackling all the responsibility, decisions and tasks that I imagine have fallen on you because of this. It’s really hard. Thanks for all you do.

Henrikke Dybvik

Huge condolences and big hugs. Take care of yourself <3

Your mom was such a hero in your life, that I can only imagine the pain this is causing. I am watching my own amazing mother slide into early dementia, and knowing that she is entering the end of her life, even if we still have her physically around for years. But there is a significant difference between knowing and seeing her go through the same things every woman in her family has, and in losing a healthy and active parent unexpectedly. My heart breaks for your loss, and for the immeasurable blow this must be to your family. I lose myself in work when facing grief, and I am sure you will too. With how active our ADHD brains can be, DOING something is much healthier than just thinking. My best to all of you at the channel, and my thoughts are with you.

If you ever want to chat with an ADHD female spacecraft flight software engineer lmk, life hasn’t been easy, and watching your show has helped me feel less alone :)

Ami Melaine

My heart is so heavy for you right now. I hope you're able to find some comfort with your family and from all of your supporters, and your sweet Chloe. Sending you so much love. <3

Stacey Arnold

I was diagnosed finally at 33, and a friend who writes mental health curriculum for Washington State DHS turned me on to your videos. I am so thankful for them - it's shocking to me just how much my life is shaped around ADHD symptoms. I saw your video about training your pup, and that your mom passed. I am so, so sorry. My mom had a whole host of health issues and it's a constant fear that I'll get that phone call. Your videos have made me feel so much less alone, and I wanted to say thank you and that I feel so much empathy for losing your mom. 💙

elissa berrol

I'm so sorry for your loss. Who you are and what you have created for those of who have and love neuro diverse brains...is such a tribute to and a legacy of love that has been passed on to you from your momma. We love you so much and are holding you in our hearts and prayers.

Kelly DeBardelaben (Kdizneluver)

We mourn with you, we support you, and we want to make sure that you continue to take care of yourself. The How to ADHD community is here for you as a whole person, not just as a content creator. Love from my Brain to yours, Alyssa

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to cancer over a year ago and lost my therapist on the year anniversary of my dad’s passing. Give yourself extra self care and space to process. Wishing you moments of peace and balance. Bill

Krislynn Mattscheck

I am so so so sorry. I can't even imagine losing my mom...there is no one like your mother (especially one that fought for what you needed as yours did). I am soooo grateful for the work you do. I discovered your channel by chance and accident about a month ago, joined patreon last week, and have been binging your content while I work my data entry job. I wish I could give you back even a smidge of the hope you've given me.

Vilde Serina Brunvoll

I’m sorry for your loss Jessica. I’m so grateful for your channel, you have no idea how much you’ve helped me. I wish I could do something for you ❤️ Here’s a big digital hug ❤️

Jason Thompson

I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. I lost my Dad 17 years ago and things do get better with time. I still miss him and I think about him frequently. Your doing a good thing helping people with your channel and I know she'd be proud of you for that

Bruno Mcken Savard

My most sincere condolences for your loss. Nothing beats a mom ❤️

eldermillenial

Jessica, this is difficult to experience. Having gone through this as age 28 I can very much empathize with how you’re feeling. A few things: Double or triple down on self care. Don’t isolate if you can help it. Build a strong net of people around you. Continue with great counseling. Be okay with adding new meds (I did). Allow yourself to cry. Allow yourself to experience and enjoy good memories. Hold no burden on yourself. Get affairs in order quickly to allow space for grief. Hugs and prayers to you. ♥️♥️♥️ Find me on Instagram or Facebook if you need a supportive friend. ♥️❤️♥️❤️

Michael Angemeer

I just joined and saw this. So sorry for your loss. I'm sure she is so proud of how you are helping so many people. Stay strong. I lost my Dad 29 years ago and he is always with me. Thank you. <3

What a tribute to your Mom, that you were able to share your grief and model real lived experience in a culture that is so afraid of grief and loss. THANK YOU.

Renatuh

I saw it on the YouTube channel a while back, but only became a patreon now. I don't know if you have seen any of my comments there, but again I'm really sorry for your loss 😔

David Williams

Oh Jessica. I just joined the group moments ago and this was the first post I saw. I know this is months ago for you, but it's very fresh news for me. My heart goes out to you. I hope your world (inner and outer) is at peace.

Yash Ghelani

I’m really sorry for your loss Jessica. I hope you’re feeling much better by now.

Jessica Bennett

I just joined and this too was my first thing to see! I'm so so sorry, I feel lousy for messaging just now about discord! 😭 I can only imagine how you must be feeling even almost a year later! Please take your time and make sure to take care of yourself!! You're changing the world and making it a better place, and that is going to require you to give the time, love, and patience you've been giving to all of us, to yourself! Please take care Hun! So so sorry for your loss! ❤️🐾

Orestees

I just joined and also messaged about content and feel lousy as well. I know now that I just got here, but wanted to add my much delayed condolences. Sending all the vibes to you and your family, and even more vibes to you, in hopes that you’re healing and taking care of yourself. From a total stranger whose life you’ve greatly impacted and improved, thank you and please know we’re here for anything you need.

James Harold

I just joined tonight and am just seeing this. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in March to cancer and I know how it feels to lose your mother let alone any parent. It feels like a piece of you is missing and you can’t make that daily call or text to your mom to check in or just to say hi. It’s an awful feeling to go through. Especially, when all you think about is your mom and why did she have to go. There are sometimes more bad than good days but you just have to keep your head up and think that would make your mother so happy. But one thing that my mother left with my sister and I with is a saying my grandfather would say to my mom is “Think happy thoughts.” That’s always brought a huge smile to my face and that she’s looking down at my sister and I. As I’m sure your mother is as we speak. Again I am sorry for your loss.

Paula Cook

I'm so sorry. I lost my dad three and a half years ago. The world is not the same without them in it.
