It was heartwrenching and I debated on whether to post it because I felt like a blubbering raccoon. This is a reminder that no matter where you are in your journey, you have a safe place here to share without judgment. This is how we shatter the mental health stigma.💖

[@onechopbuddy3849]

Thank you for being so honest and open, that was a difficult watch because of the clear distress, music is an incredible outlet….. take care x

[@getinTHEBIN318]

Why does no one watch his songs about the military showing light on them. Like no bravery, the greatest

[@josephbishop3590]

You don't need to share if it brings you pain. But you have so many that are here for you, too. This is such a personal experience that no one will ever know your pain. But we have a "soft place" for you to share. Much love and support❤

[@getinTHEBIN318]

[@StephenGoddard-MiisterSpiice]

You reaction was so raw and emotional. Sorry for your loss. God bless you. X

[@bronzestarvue]

I've never watched a more heart-felt reaction...

[@DebbieHirons]

THIS was the single most painful and beautiful reaction I have ever seen. Music triggers every emotion and is so personal. You are so brave. God Bless. 💕🥺

[@Lloyd-Franklin]

My niece said something the other day and I agree with her. She said James Blunt is the Van Gogh of music. Van Gogh took his pain and created beautiful paintings. James Blunt takes his pain and makes beautiful music.

[@justarandomveryintelligent8934]

"Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all. Certainly the most popular, great painter of all time. The most beloved, his command of colour most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world, no one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world's greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived. " This was a quote from Doctor Who about Van Gogh. I think your niece is right, James Blunt has become something of a student of Van Gogh's though applying it to music. Never thought of that comparison before.

[@Hashtag_Not_All_Hippies]

That's one of the best comparisons I've ever seen for him.

[@Jacob-cz4mg]

As a guy that only wanted to be a dad this song hits home because I have a box in my closet dedicated to the girl that never was

[@MentalAmanda]

I have that box too.

[@danielquiroz3487]

This song just rips you apart. I love that it is a husband's perspective on the experience of the miscarriage. My wife miscarried our 3rd child. She was supposed to be our last baby. My wife has never been the same. I and others spent a lot of our time supporting her and I have no problem with that, but as a husband our grief is basically ignored. For James to put a light on how helpless we feel watching our wives go through one of the most horrific things a woman can go through and the helplessness if not being able to fix it is just awful, but the message was needed.

[@JC-pq4ul]

I am so sorry for your loss! Losing a child is devastating. Stay strong and thank you for just being you and helping others that share your pain!

[@michaelmemmelaar4937]

Thirteen words. "We never should have picked a name, 'cause now she has a face." Thirteen words that pierce through any armor a heart can have, bypass the defenses erected around a damaged spirit--and can yet somehow still be wholly about the love and not the pain. James understands loss like no other, and knows how to unravel the pain to expose the love from which it is originally born and remind us that loss is only love's shadow.

[@Jacob-cz4mg]

I know the loss this songs feels it’s an amazing song for all of us that has delt with this pain

11 words, 1 letter like a does not constitute a word

[@DavidJones-ym7zr]

​@@sharronbrennon899I can't believe you're trying to correct someone's message composition, while they're leaving a heartfelt message to the creator, do you frequently belittle people who are struggling with their emotions? I think that say's more about you than anybody's language skills. And before you feel bold enough to comment on any mistakes in my message, English isn't my first language and i also happen to be dyslexic too, if you don't want to help people with their emotions, that's fine, but don't be part of the problem just to get a one up on someone you don't know, try reading the situation and behave accordingly.

[@sharronbrennon899]

@ the fact that you thought i was belittling someone says more about what goes through your mind than it does mine. It never crossed my mind, but it did YOURS.

[@stephenh-zn5bf]

OMG Amanda, been watching for a while, I saw instantly that this was personal. I'm so sorry for your loss. I was crying right with you.

[@tomh3652]

There is nothing as sad as watching a lady crying you just want to give her a hug and a shoulder to cry on.

My wife and I had four miscarriages. Each one barely lasted a month, but we mourned them all. I told my wife we could stop because i could stand to see her broken again, but she insisted we try once more. Finally we were blessed with our beautiful little boy whom we named Nathan (shortened from Nathaniel, meaning gift from God.) He's our little miracle and we love him so much.

[@martinpeat8374]

My wife and I suffered a miscarriage at 8 weeks, then we had our little boy, who is an amazing little man. We then tried for another child, which our son was convinced was a girl (we opted not to find out, but he seemed to know), after returning from the hospital it was like he knew what happened because he gave us a cuddle and simply said "my sisters gone"😢

We lost our daughter Grace aged 5 on 27th Dec 2008. I was there when she took her first breath and didn't think 5 years later that I would be watching her take her last. Don't think that time takes away the pain, because it doesn't. Love you my beautiful funny little girl. Sweet dreams.

The way your face changed and you wept practically as the video started made it really clear that this was going to resonate with the volume turned up to 100. Thank you for having the bravery to continue and share your experience and pain, because I think your actions and words will have been incredibly helpful to many many people. I already knew this song well - what I didn't realise was that it was possible to "Double Cry" - once for the song (which it does to me every time) and once for your open and honest reaction. "If the professionals can't help, maybe James Blunt can....." I think you may have something there! I love your reactions, but this one was beautiful and so true. xxx

[@MentalAmanda]

Thank you.

You cannot ever forget or ignore the pain you've been through, but I would only say that as James says, YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME!!! I hope that when you're in a dark place you remember that. The pain will never leave but it's not your fault! If you ever need to reach out to a complete stranger then please do!

[@dmacalis]

Amanda, I can appreciate your loss. I am very sorry for what you have gone through. My wife and I lost an unborn child. We went through IVF and ended up with my wife being pregnant with twins, but one was lost in the pregnancy. The other lived despite us nearly losing her in a premature birth. She survived and is on the autism spectrum but I am forever grateful that we have her in our lives. I could not imagine what the experience of having no child would be like. I think of our lost child every day.

One of the best and emotional reactions. My wife and I went through a miscarriage and it was devastating. We went on to have 2 children and sadly our youngest passed away at 2 months from cancer. A miscarriage is the loss of a child and the pain of that loss can last a lifetime. The song is painful but very special.

[@GrimlarLex]

My understanding is this was about James and his wifes first pregnancy. As the song says, you can't replace them, you can't magically make it better, you can only struggle to get through it. James and his wife tried again, successfully, and I believe now have two boys. James has said that he uses these painful songs as a form of therapy, helping him to cope with the tragedy, that may be so, but you can still see the pain in his face and hear it in his voice. I will add my condolences, respect and best wishes to the others expressed here in the comments. Its a very sad song that has reduced other reacters to tears, even without the additional personal tragedy that you suffered.

[@garyzigler452]

This is a really touching song and I know that this was extremely hard for you. You kept yourself together and opened your feelings to what this song was about. It was really emotional and I totally understand what you are going through and feeling. There are things in life that are out of our control. I love 😍 you Amanda and I'm not going to say anything on this subject because it's really hard to rap our minds around.

i lost my son when he was thirteen, and i believe that was more painful, having seen him growing into a young man, than if i lost him during pregnancy, or infancy. you need to come to terms, that it was a consolation prize, that you lost the child, as beautiful as their presence and potential was, before their loss would seem worse., that seems hard, but, mybe your next one will heel. i won't know, as my hurt partner could not cope. i miss my son and wife so much. please look forward, talk with other', it's the only way forward.please feel that i feel a bond with you, and wish you the best. try while you can, for another, it might be your most helpful therapy., i wish you the best.

I will never forget that funeral. His mom was a tall, stout, intimidating woman but that day burying her girls; she looked smaller than her toddler son. I can't imagine how strong someone has to be to come out the other side of that.

Your video was incredibly moving and I'm struggling to stop crying in my reaction to your feelings. As a man (a 57 year old man) who has been blessed to have children, and now blessed to experience grandchildren and realize how precious these little lives are in our lives your reaction really moved me. I honestly wish there was a magic wand that could erase pain, and if so, I would gladly use it to help you feel some relief from your experiences. My wife and I have been blessed with the birth of 5 children (3 boys followed by 2 girls), and after that we felt a calling to consider adoption and did so with 2 girls. My wife and I experienced loss through a miscarriage, and I do not want to make you believe I understand your situation, but your pain struck me so strongly that I felt compelled to respond. I will tell you this, if you are unable to have children (for whatever reason), you may want to consider adoption. Our two adopted (now over 21-year-old daughters) are beautiful reminders to my wife and I how there is so much love you can bring to a family. I was worried (honestly) that I could feel the same love and devotion to an adopted child, as I felt to our biologic children, and it scared me. When the adoption was complete there was brief period where I felt I was holding someone else's child and I was so afraid, and then almost immediately when that child looks into your eyes it evaporated. Suddenly, my wife and I were her parents, we felt it and she knew it. If you want children, and you cannot have them "naturally", I encourage you to consider adopting and I promise you it is every bit as magical and amazing as having your own. I love all my kids and honestly do not see a difference between them. Anyway, my tears are subsiding a bit, but I wanted to comment and say that your pain was so sad and beautiful, and I understand you. I hope you find a path to children because you seem like you would definitely be a great person to raise them. I'm sending you blessings your way in hope you find peace and happiness on this journey.

[@hmm3484]

Aw. You poor thing. My heart aches for you. That little life meant so much and to lose her…I can’t imagine how painful it must be. You make all these plans and are giddy with excitement and anticipation. Life is so cruel at times. James Blunt is writing (as he so eloquently does) from personal experience, so perhaps hearing some of your own thoughts expressed in his song, will help you a little. I think it was brave of him to write this song, because it’s a subject people don’t like to talk about or they wrongly assume another child will ‘replace’ the one lost. My mother lost three babies and she never really got over it. It affected her the rest of her life, actually. I think there are things we feel we should ‘get over’ or are encouraged to ‘get over’ but really, how could anyone expect that to make sense? Your grief is real and deep. I wish there was something I could say to take away your pain, but of course, there isn’t. Lastly, please try not to blame yourself. Things happen and we simply can’t anticipate or control much of what happens in our lives. As James says in his song, “you’re not to blame.”

[@MentalAmanda]

The only difference between now and when I lost her is that there is more time between my tears. They aren't constant like they were then. But something like this hits and it can take me right back to the moment I learned I lost her. You're right, we can't go back. We just have to try to find another path we can tolerate.

[@HankD13]

This was so emotional. James Blunt deals with hurt and trauma by writing raw, emotional songs as his kind of therapy. He went to Kosovo as a young soldier, and took his guitar. Monsters, with this fathers illness. But, he and his wife do now have two healthy sons. I have had my own trauma - James Blunt helped me deal with those, so I guess his therapy has worked for me too. God bless.

I had cried so much with this, because I did experience it before in the year 2000. And until now I still felt it so much. Even when I watched the monster I cried too because I had experienced it with my Dad and my only brother. So now it is only me and my Mom are together

All these losses we face in life are never easy. They take pieces of us we can never get back. It's beautiful that you still have your mom to hold onto. Keeping a support system is vital!

Love James Blunt, a song and artist that helped me in my dark days is Son of pain by Dan Vasc. You can see that he was there as well

Time makes it better, but it is always there, anger, sorrow, pain, longing, a feeling that there is something missing, I love my son to bits and will always, but long before him there was Caroline. 40 years later and this song still opens up a scar, a thought, a voice that is always there.
