Our beloved James David Van Der Beek passed peacefully this morning. He met his final days with courage, faith, and grace. There is much to share regarding his wishes, love for humanity, and the sacredness of time. Those days will come. For now we ask for peaceful privacy as we grieve our loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend.
Emilia asked me if she could make a video to post today, walked outside and came back with this.
In my stories are a whole lot of photos and some videos. All I want to do is watch videos of him right now with the kids. Thank you for the tremendous heart, love and support for the family. 🩷🥹
James... We will celebrate March 8th every day for the rest of our lives.
Yesterday was three months since we lost @vanderjames . To say I'm heartbroken is a severe understatement. Words just don't capture what grief is. The comforts of shock have worn off. The reality is settling in... and I miss him. We all miss him. Yet, there is a different kind of magic in the air. I feel him. I know him more deeply. My conscious connection to God has deepened. The veils of the universe have thinned. And I trust that this is the path me and my family have always been intended to walk.
The outpouring of support has been tremendous. It's held our family in the most beautiful of ways. You all went absolutely above and beyond anything I could have ever expected in supporting us and honoring James. I am deeply grateful. There is so much more to share here. And in time- I will.
Happy World Smile Day! I’m joining @smiletrain Global #smilewall Campaign in celebration of #worldsmileday 💗Quality time with my girlfriends always makes me smile 🥰 Love you sister 🤍
What makes you smile? Comment and post your own photo or video.
Going deeper with these ladies has been so bitter sweet. They are magic, kind, gifted, heart forward and... sacred. Missed my guy so. But the support and the love has been healing to the core. Will post more along the way. This was a fun spontaneous one as we all ran up and down several flights of stairs to our dressing rooms.
Sisterhood at its best! Dreamy girls getaway with @dr.organicmommy@vanderkimberly@emilyraibermedia filled with mountain air, long walks, goats, chicks, deer sightings and even a bear encounter. Loved supporting @thefarmcollaborative and hearing the inspiring @zachbushmd speak on the mission of restoring soil health to our planet.
@lyndlear@jeffskoll@thenormanlear (the late and the great and I'm sure still making waves where he is!) @vanderjames I got sent this photo today and shed some tears. Goodness LA was just so good to us with these special souls that made such an impact on my life, heart and soul. Missing ya'll.
