[@kevincarroll2039]

When my wife died from breast cancer I played this song at her funeral as we closed the casket for the last time. We all stood up and sang along with tears in our eyes truly knowing there is no pain in Heaven. Four years later when my Mom died from breast cancer I sang this song to myself as the Hearst drove away. The comfort this song has brought to me during these times could never be expressed in words. Event though my heart ached when i lost them both, this song reminded me they both were in a better place.

Kevin Carroll be strong in the faith, my brother, for the place we go to there will only tears of joy...no more pain, no more suffering...the toils of this Earthly walk will have given way to seeing our Savior on his throne...It is my faith that our Father will build a new place called Heaven and that the physics and diseases that were put upon this Earth by Satan will no longer exist....my mind cannot comprehend the bliss...take care and once again, be strong in the Faith

[@theacrocanthosaurus159]

My mom's friend died overseas and we didnt know so it was a shock when we found out she passed to cancer. I went to church the Sunday after we found out and the choir sang Till the storm passes over and both my mom and I cried. Hearing this song now reminds me that heaven is better than this. Yesterday I went to a funeral of someone who died of cancer and she gave her life to the lord 6 days before she passed. Im a young person and I surprise people with my love for the lord but God knows what he is doing. The lord bless and keep you all and cause his face to shine upon you and give thee peace. Let peace be within thy walls and prosperity within thy gates from now and forevermore Amen.

@Grant Crawford : I know, RIGHT? So very BEAUTIFUL, yet so very painful at the same time. Makes me think of my beloved mother, who just turned 91 on October 20, 2020. I don't know how I will ever be able to let her go, but I know that one day I must. This gospel song, here performed by all of these wonderful artists, makes my heart ache in agony, but equally fills me up with a hope that will not be diminished. Yes, brings on goosebumps...and tears.

[@davidcarr7436]

I never sing in public, but, when my mom passed away as us her kids were gathered around her bedside along with all her grandchildren, I could only express my feelings and sang this. My voice was shaking and the tears were streaming down my face, but I felt the comfort the lyrics express.I hope that if you are facing the pain of a loss, this gives you some comfort too.

[@dwaynedavis6976]

A beautiful and true song. During my childhood I found solace in this song. Just at the age of 18 my Father was taken from my Mom and me. Just a few years ago my Mother was sick and alone at home. My wife and children lived just about 3 miles from her home. I saw her on a Saturday taking her some supper when she began to plead with me to stay for a while. The pleading got so bothersome, I got angry and told her I would be back in the morning with her breakfast. She was sitting on her couch in her den watching TV. I said my goodbye not kissing her on the cheek and walked down the hallway, slammed the front door, locked it and left. Sunday morning I found myself living out the words to this song. I found my Mother has passed away overnight. I stood alone at her front door as the hearse pulled up. I went outside a few minutes later from out the front door the funeral directors were bringing out my Mothers covered body on a stretcher and gently placed her in the back of the hearse. As the coach drove away I was drowning in tears. Take warning people there are many songs that speak to us. I wouldn't wish anyone in my shoes. I am so sorry Mother.😭

[@sarahwhitney3618]

If your Mom was Christian, she knew the power of forgiveness. Take that lesson, and forgive yourself. A lifetime of loving her child won't be taken by a moments irritation. God bless and keep you. ❤ You will see her again someday.

[@dwaynedavis6976]

Thank you Sarah I believe your message however I just cannot forgive myself. She was an awesome Mother as was my Father.

[@shawnlarson7814]

That is a tremendous burden to carry. I have a similar one. My burden was lessened by a dream I had long after my brother had passed. If you are a believer, believe this. Mom is not mad, and she sure is not sad where she is...but she would be both of those things if she knew you were suffering because of her. She's free. You need to be. A few things happened the day my brother died to make me feel less heartbroken than I was. But the thing I remember most is driving aimlessly in my car, not paying attention to anything but grief, and a song came on where I immediately snapped out of my despair because the band was immediately recognizable CCR. My brother and I have an affinity for the band, especially the song Lodi. Since many of the songs from credence are way overplayed on the radio, what struck me was that I didn't recognize the song and I had never heard it before... As long as I see the light. Check it out. Then Ripple by the grateful dead came on on and I knew I didn't have to worry about my brother. He wasn't worried. Nor should you be. God Bless. Johnny Cash was my brother's favorite. This song with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is phenomenal. Bytheway, my brother's favorite song was When I'm Gone by Anna Kendrick. It was a long time before I could listen to that one. Check it out. Let It Go! (Def Leppard) Peace

Hello American people, I'm a young italian guy. And I do love bluegrass music. This music is the only cultural heritage that every country in the world should (some does) envy to the United States of America: a place where all the countries lives but one country is. Seeing how things are going there, it kills my heart. When we will rebuild this polluted, lonesome, violent world, we should restart from music. This is a good start. Save bluegrass, it's in great danger of being forgotten. May God and all the saints and angels protect your beautiful hearts.

Gary Abraham I too just finished ken Burns’s country music documentary. Between this song and other songs represented...well I’ve cried till I have a headache! So moving and reminded me of whence I came

[@blpadge2]

Ditto that. Grew up with Johnny Cash and Homer & Jethro albums, but I was into rock until rap took over. Then I was country until the backlash against the Dixie Chicks. Growing up in NC this is the music of my soul and my ancestors.

I also just finished this amazing series. I'm 66 & grew up listening to all of the greats! It's so sad to see almost all of the legends have left us. Even many in this great video are now gone. RIP to all that brought us so much joy over the years!❤

I play this song after every funeral on the way to the burial. I want all my brothers and friends to sing this at my funeral.

My mom died about 2 weeks ago..... and this song was what first popped in my head when I heard the news........... Love you so much Mom

Dave, this is Donald. I want you to know my heart is broken for you on this Christmas Eve. I am so sorry your mom passed away. Dave, I normally only reply to women but I wanted to express my sympathy to you at this most difficult time for you and your family.

[@donmayer58]

@@shanephillips1730 Shane, I want you to know how sorry I am for your loss. This is especially true during the Christmas season. I turned 63 in October and both of my parents are still living. But, my wife died on December 3, 2016. We were married 28 years. You may send me another reply if you want to talk to me.

I had been with my family at my grandpa’s bedside a week ago today. At about 12am on 9/11 I decided to go home. Literally as I pulled into my driveway and turned my truck off I get a phone call from my mom that my grandpa had passed. After a good long hug from my girlfriend I set outside on our back deck drank a beer, smoked a cigarette, and played this song.

[@sodsqad8089]

I played this same recording at my mother in laws celebration of life 2 years ago. Always brings tears.

one day we will see us all together - without war and all the other problems

Reminds me of my Grandparents. Lord knows how much I love them .

[@Lunas_pearl]

Lost my husband 4 weeks ago and today we're shutting my brother's life support off. Rest well Dana& Corey... Please y'all mental health, drug addiction & suicide need not a stigma. It makes the suffering ashamed and they hide from loved one's... We all need our tribe to thrive. My hubby wasn't yet 50 and my bro just 44 they have no hope now but you do, I do so I'm gonna try my best to change the views on addiction and mental health.

[@heathermartin1554]

I'm so sorry. Praying for your peace

[@elainemacdonald4292]

I'm sorry for your loss. I too need to speak out more on mental health, alcohol and suicide prevention. My Dad, in physical and mental pain took his life, by accident, when I was 12(now 76) and like many stuffed that memory down. Too painful to deal with, but our Lord Jesus Christ has given me hope and love. He will give it to you too. God bless.

[@garylefevers]

So sorry for the traumatic losses in your life of late. Will say a special prayer for you if you don't mind.

[@shawnasmith3948]

That song reminds me of my mom it's a sad song but it gives me lots of joy@@ginocandia1516

[@whitetigress97]

This song gets no air play on radios these days (I am not complaining of that). But the day I got in my car (2020) to leave for the mortuary to view my Momma in her casket, as I started my car, this came on!!!!! She and I would talk about country music history, and of course, a huge part of that was the Carter Family, and this song. I knew damn well my Momma was with me at that moment, only she would understand the importance to me.

[@whitetigress97]

I comment today as my kiddo (21 this year) was asking about the song.....another version was on Sirius Outsiders Radio, we love Eric Church..... they asked me why I love it. I explained about that day in 2020. They too were close to my Momma, she spent her final days at home (hospice and kidney failure) and they helped me take care of her, I took the day shift, sister took evenings, the kiddo took late nights. I am proud to know, even though they are not country fans, they like to talk about country music history with me as well.

[@whitetigress97]

And fun fact! Momma's dad had a beer with Johnny Cash as some random bar.

[@SgtGFHoward]

I cried quite freely at this. I miss you, Mom.

I lost my mother the day after Christmas in 2020. It was completely unexpected and very hard on me and my younger sisters as we were only 22, 20 and 19 years old. She was a beloved special education teacher here in our home state of West Virginia. She will always be loved and missed everyday. After her passing I really started to question what happens after you die and hoped that she was in a place with no pain and she only feels love and joy. This song reminds me every time I hear it that she is home with God and she is looking down on us from a far with no pain, no suffering and only feeling love.

[@SeemsFutileNow]

Same for me. I questioned Eternity too when My Mom Passed. I truly believe God Is who He says He Is.

[@dandelong737]

@@SeemsFutileNow I get great comfort and assurance to know what Bible said about death . “ Because I live , you shall live also .” ( John 11:25 ) His Word is enough for me to know we are spiritual beings having a human experience. One of my favorite verses in Bible is that ,” Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead die no more ; death has no more dominion over him .” ( Romans 6:9 ) May God keep you and watches over you all the days of your life and throughout eternity.

[@estelleadamski308]

This song could not be sung any better than by these awesome, talented group of Country singers who never forgot their Christian Roots. This is what it will sound like in Heaven, I bet. All the Greats joined together to sing this iconic song. America at it's best.

[@toyabremmer884]

I lost my mom last year on the 8th of September I was so devastated i was even pregnant and so her death caused me to go into early labor but thank God my surgery was successful and my baby was alive and well. Even now listening to this song tears are running down my cheeks I can't believe she is gone. 😭😭😭😭😭

So sorry for your loss glad baby is doing well
