I lost my beloved husband Don of 49 years the emptiness and loneliness is sometimes unbearable, when God say’s that you become one flesh this was true in our lives he was the most loving, caring, giving person and I’m so thankful for the years God gave us. He was my one and only and still is.

If I had known I wouldn't have been able to carry on looking after her caring for her. My mother took it upon herself to take charge and organised her burial, the send off and we both rose at 5 am for over a week and we winged laughed cried more and I thank the Good Lord for giving me a mother and wife made of steel with hearts of Gold.

He didn't want anyone being sad for him when everybody hurts eventually and some survive and some fly free of the hurt. I still remember people asking me why I picked that song since it wasn't typical funeral songs. I just said I didn't pick it. It was what Jason wanted so it was for him and a testament to the person he was. 💞

No.... it becomes a bit less painful but it never goes completely away. On your "dark day's"... go ahead & cry, feel bad for yourself but know - You Are Not Alone!! Alass, Keep your friends close & close out your enemies & cry, cry hard, sob uncontrollably but let it out! Otherwise, you will choke on the pain in your loneliness. Your friends that are close & understand... Talk to them. Let them sit with you & cry with you. But the pain, is your pain & it never goes away. Get a grip on it after you've cried til your tears dry up, after you've sobbed hard & uncontrollably, then you push the pain in an empty place. It will come back on another day but, you can roll with it for awhile & put it back in your "mind closet." You're stronger than you think & you have your friends. Just roll with it for awhile, put it back in the closet in your mind, pick yourself up, dust off & go on about your day. Bcuz, everybody hurts sometimes.

But since he did me so wrong which I just found out 2 years before his death I believe the hurt is less. Hoping to find a friend someday my age if nothing else just to talk with. I don't know what your story is Jeff but I wish you all the best we're all not getting any younger here. Peace and happiness always my friend.

As someone with Asperger's Syndrome who has battled severe depression, frustration, stress and bitterness for most of my life, I am grateful to REM for this masterpiece. I have wanted to take my life so often. I always struggled to fit in with others and ended up fighting a lot. People simply never understood me. I have to remain for the sake of my loved ones and family yet that doesn't make the road any easier. I am still uncertain about my future and where to go. I also listen to the song any time I experience deep depression and bitterness. Helps every time. At least, I have my guardian angels and spirit guides to walk the road with me no matter what direction my life will take

So sorry to hear that I was on a terrible depression and then I lost my leg last year which for obvious reasons made me even lower but I am just trying to push through it, but as you said the road ahead is hard and all I can do is take one day at a time, I am autistic too so I sort of understand your plight, I wish you all, the best but we have this song In common xx

I've walked a similar road.. diagnosed with Autism while a child I deal with schizoaffective illness now more than anything. I spent too long a time alone with my thoughts and the walls of my home. Hope you got some good people in your life, sounds like you do. I have my wife, without her I'd probably be institutionalized, I help her too with her issues.. My faith in Jehovah God has been the foundation for my life. I had nearly died of pneumonia but got sent back here, we all have our purpose and we all have our struggles. And hey, be yourself, don't worry about what other people think even if it's singing the canadian national anthem in front of everybody, making a bunch of poop jokes at your brother's wedding, chasing birds, building sandcastles, or telling your parents to "grow up" ;)

I had the pleaser of meeting a man called Peter Cotter in about 2000 who was a Vietnam Veteran and he told us a story of how he wrote poems to help him deal with his burdens from the war,and how a guy who’s name I can’t remember came to the sergeants mess ( Army accomodation) and asked if anyone had any poems as he would like to see them, and so Peter went to his room to get his poems, the guy said I’ll give you x amount of dollars (could have been $50-$100) for these poems. Some time later on he was driving home in his car when “Everybody hurts” came on and he said to his wife I know that song. So when he got home he searched for his old poems and found his poem that is what led to this song , and as soon as I heard Peters story of the poem he wrote I immediately understood why I used to get sad whenever I heard this song, and to this day and into the future I will always remember Peter Cotter not only for the beautiful person I met but for giving me the understanding of this song and it’s words, I no longer feel sad when I here this song but I rejoice in meeting a man who’s written word helped me understand things so much better. To Peter Cotter all I can say is thankyou sir and I will never forget you - you helped to change my life for the better.

I'm 60 yrs. old, I came across this song the night my granddaughter received a heart transplant. My granddaughter was born with congenital heart syndrome, which meant breathing was always a problem. She celebrated her 1st anniversary with her new Heart on May 28,2019. She’s now twelve years old, l will forever be grateful to the donor,s family for sharing their Love One with us and for giving my Granddaughter a new life .To this day I still cry for the donor, whose young life ended unexpectedly, and for the family who blessed my granddaughter . I thank God for every day he gives her. Life before her transplant was very different from now. I pray, that “my granddaughter never forgets her donor, whose life came to end in order for her to have a better quality of life, and that the Donors family gave unselfishly for others to have life. “When Life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, Show Life you have a thousand reasons to Smile.” Peace be with you.

REM made a metric shitload of extraordinary music. You never really hear anyone talk about them too much. They don't really play any of their songs on the radio. Kinda like old school Jon Bon Jovi. One of the greatest rock albums of all time; Blaze of Glory. You never hear any of the songs on that album played anywhere. Nobody ever even acknowledges it's existence. Yet, I played the hell out of that tape when I was a kid in the 90s. Just like I did with REM.

This song seems to have encouraged a lot of people who have lost loved ones. That has got to be a great thing. But do you know how much it had encouraged people who have come out of an abusive relationship and who often feels like a failure who let her own children down and has been left with a lot of emotional bagage and financial problems.

This song came out a few days after my mother died when I was in my early 20's. My mother was not only my mom but my best friend too, so I felt like I had lost two people in my life when she left us, way too soon. I was destroyed inside and could barely continue my own life and was considering ending it all. Then I heard this song on the radio on the way to my mother's funeral....This song literally saved my life and helped me cope with it, and it helped me get through it. It was like a gift from God for me. Thank you R.E.M. I will always love you

I have played this song repeatedly over the years. (1) it helped me to grieve, when my stepbrother took his own life and my daughter at the time was only (3) years old, she loved her uncle Greg. It broke her tender heart. (2) when my(1st) husband died in a roll over, a part of me died with him that night. (3) My (2nd) husband died of cancer, to tore me apart, as I was also his caregiver and walked that walk with him to the end. The list is endless. Point being grief can bury you if you left it. This song helped me to bleed for all the losses I suffered and when I feel I need a good cry, I can play it and it helps if only for a moment. It helps me to purge and to heal. For anyone who ever suffered a loss, my heart goes out to all of you.

I’m 61 years old, I came across this song the night my granddaughter received a Heart transplant on May 28th 2018. My granddaughter’s birthday is October 13th , but our family celebrates May 28th because that’s her Heart anniversary. The transplant has allowed my granddaughter to ride a airplane for the first time, she’s thirteen years old now . She attends school while in session, and vacations with family. Our family understands each milestone she achieves is because of the borrowed Heart that beats inside her, and that she lives for two. It is because a very special family who said yes to organ donation on the worst day of their lives. My granddaughter’s life before her transplant was very different from now. Breathing was always a problem. Today my thoughts and tears of joy are with the donor’s family and for the young donor whose life came to an end unexpectedly . I thank God for everyday he gives us, I'm forever grateful forever humbled by their donation . My granddaughter’s donor is the ultimate hero in our story. Thank you for sharing your Love One with my little angel . 🙏🙏🙏 “When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, Show life you have a thousand reasons to smile.” Peace be with you.

Then I thought of my 11 year old son, my youngest and I suddenly, urgently felt he needed me, that I needed to stay alive and see him through for a while longer. The cardiologist opened 2 blockages and I lived. Next day my regular cardiologist told me people just don't survive that situation but somehow I did. God loves you, your Dad loves you and is still near in spirit. Stay strong for both of you.
