If you're watching this...
For the past few months I’ve been working on a video for my track ‘Please Don’t Go’ that I am so honored to share with you all. It’s hard to put into words what this video means to me and how grateful I am to the people who took part - it wasn’t easy. A few years ago, I lost my nephew very suddenly and it was something that changed my life forever. I can still remember how it felt and I know there are so many other people who have gone through the same thing in one form or another.
I feel like this song has resonated the most with me since writing it. I remember the exact place it came from and it never loses its meaning no matter how many times I play it. Since then, I’ve wanted to create a music video that reflects this and which could potentially help people who are struggling with loss while also giving people a chance to tell their story.
To John, Dylan, Donna, Cian, Moira, Gary, Teresa, Kate and Tony, I will never be able to thank you enough for your honesty and willingness to share what you did, it takes tremendous courage and I have so much respect for you all. To Kate O' Hara, Miki Barlok, Gary Keane and Kevin Herlihy - all the time and effort you've put into this has brought it to life.
Also a very special thank you to Sarah Power for her incredible piano and production work and Gary Keane for his vocal and production work. This track would be nothing without ye and making the EP was best experience of my life. You guys are magic.
I hope that whoever watches this gets something from it.
All my love, Steph x

I sit here crying alone in our room. It's been 2 years and 6 months since my wife passed away to cancer. It seems to be the routine now. Our children were 3 and 6 when she passed. They are now 6 and soon to be 9. They are tucked in bed asleep and I come to our room and sit in the dark and cry. I miss you so much. We miss you.

This is exactly word for word what happened when I lost my wife in 2021 after battling 14 of the 25 years we were together with her metastatic breast cancer. She died on October the 10th 2021 and her name is Bobbe. Everything she sung is what I did including screaming into the pillow the day after I got her to the funeral home that took care of the last visit that I had with her. There's a beautiful song and some beautiful couple of people that really know how to touch you we need more people like that. God bless you both and I'm sorry for your loss but we're all going to lose someone Sunday until we go to see him in heaven and if people don't change there's not going to be too many people up there in heaven. God bless you all?

I also make it a point to never question God's reasonings behind his decision. I will find out when he calls me home. Keep your head up and continue singing your nephew would be very proud of you.

I wish the pain would stop being so strong in my heart and every time i go to bed i keep thinking about my baby what would he look like. I wish i got to hold him and tell him how much i love him, i know i am young 26 but i really loved that child since the moment i found out he was inside me.

When the virus hit, I had to retire at 60 from driving a school bus due to the stress over Covid. The same week, the house where I was renting from was sold and my rent went from $600.00 all inclusive per month, to $1100.00 per month plus utilities. So I had to move to my camp. I had 6 true friends that I was really close to, and they never hurt me, I lost my last real friend on February 5th, 2022, all of them have passed away now. One year and one day later, on February 6th, 2023 I lost my Mom. Then 10 1/2 Months later, on Christmas Day 2023, so last Christmas, I lost my Dad. He went to join my Mom. After 70 years together, he wasn't the same without her. It was so sad. I pray for everyone that have gone through the pain of losing their friends or family members.

Your song made me cry, it was beautiful. I've had 38 major surgeries chronic pain, and .y hand operated on while I helped her to get up to use the portable toilet. I have so much guilt because I had to lay down while my brother sat with her. I was her youngest child and we we more close than my siblings. I tried to do my best but I could have done more. Anyway, your song really hit me. I wish you peace and love in your life's journey. Thank you for sharing your loss so beautifully.

My best friend... my heart, Lezah passed away suddenly 2 months ago, today... it's like I found this video by fate... it made me cry, but also, made me feel so happy to know that I got to spend time with her and love her while she was here.... thank you, Stephanie, for this touching tribute to those who have gone and those who remain.... so beautiful.

Hello

[@sharenthomson2747]

This song is absolutely beautiful. My amazing husband Phil, and daddy to our 10yr old and 8yr old (who has down's syndrome) passed away on 20th October 2023, just over 2 weeks ago. I don't know how I'll live without him, my love, my soulmate but I've got to keep strong and supportive of our boys. Phil's funeral is on Tuesday 7th November when we have to say a final goodbye to him. Sending my love to everyone who has lost a loved one. Hugs to you all. 😭💔🤗

So sorry for your loss , I can understand exactly what you mean . I lost my husband of 32 yrs on 9th August 2023 x

[@IanPearson-ft9tg]

What can one honestly say ... For everyone who has lost a true loved one. For everyone who has battled an illness. The scars on our hearts & souls will never fully heal, simply because a part of us has also been taken away. Like a scar you will always feel it, as a reminder of how privileged we were to have such truly beautiful people in our lives. An indelible feeling of love, passion, integrity & emotion. We all have our book of life, made up of words, sentences, paragraphs & chapters but more importantly the memories these evoke are forever with us & are therefore priceless indeed...💔❤️‍🩹

[@IanPearson-ft9tg]

I, like so many, just don't have the words what you have endured...😢😭 Just know my thoughts & 💔 go out to you , your family... It's the memories of our true loved ones that help & guide us on our life's journey.

[@josephp3016]

🎶 Beautiful song. Beautiful voice. She should be the Winner of AGT this season. ❤❤❤

[@kristysteaveson2044]

This song really touched me!! I lost my husband of 23 years just 2 months ago 😢... Hearing you sing this so beautifully made me think of how much love we had.... I cried also. Please keep writing and singing songs!!! Your voice is so pure and beautiful...

[@realp.1700]

We picked this song for my son's funeral, he was stillborn March 22, 2019, it took me this long to write this in the comments but I still have tears in my eyes while doing it.

[@tammywebb138]

So sorry. God can give you peace and ensure you meet again. Love.

"I respect your decision" is the most powerful thing I seen in this video. Its a beautiful song that holds a beautiful video

[@CYAFOLKS]

This song is living rent free for me right now. For all those who have lost a loved one fighting through their battle of survival for the ones they truly love, to give back to this beautiful thing called life , we thank you. We honor every one of you , I have myself again lost another part of me , but no matter what, the love will live forever folks . I pay tribute to my beautiful girl Dora through listening to this on the 22nd of July mourning the life she lived and the love she had to offer. Stay blessed and strong folks! Almighty on high.

[@lissaadriaensens]

coming back to this song every once in a while. So beautiful.

[@andrewwall9617]

I just watched & listened to Stephanie perform this song on AGT. I’ve never heard a song of compassion like this before. The lyrics will resonate with everyone who’s dealt with the loss of a loved one. Simple, truthful, heartfelt words beautifully paired within with a vocal that is emotionally raw, authentic and quietly powerful. 🙏🏻

[@pkmumpjp]

I'm from Japan. And I came from AGT. When I first heard this song, tears filled my eyes. This is the first time I've been so impressed! ! Thank you for letting me listen to this song ❤️ I will continue to support you

[@ckoller29]

I literally just heard this song on AGT, and it moved my soul. My girlfriend lost her husband of 17 years last July 4th suddenly. I was so moved by this song, obviously bawling,, my only thoughts while listening to it were of her and the pain she has gone through. I.can't possibly imagine nor understand what she has gone through this past year, but I definitely want to make sure I am with her each and every day, making her happy, like he did but in a very different way. I love her so much that I couldn't keep this song from her and had to share it with her. Stephanie, thank you for this beautifully written song, i know it is very personal to you, but it has touched millions of lives all over the world. Much love and with all my respect and admiration !!!!

[@JimiEnergyHealing]

You have a beautiful caring soul man. Thank you for being you. I take my hat off to you for being one of the good guys who can see the bigger picture and help your partner through this instead of making it harder for her. I wish ye a life filled with an abundance of happiness. Her ex partner has guided her to find a good man. God bless ye both 🙏🏼 sending love to your partner through these hard times also 🙌🏼 Take care.

[@diannaestrada7421]

Lost my Grandma early last year and found this song - literally held her hand until the end. Few weeks before Christmas last year ended up losing my Grandpa. This song is comfort for me in 2023 and going into 2024 ♥

Just saw her on AGT and so very MOVED by this, thinking about all the ppl and critters I've lost 😢😢😢

[@Nitemare4290]

I’m here after agt. My sister lost her son as a still born 10 years ago. It took her 10 years to get to a place of comfort. It is hard to describe the feelings I have. And they make no sense to some. It feels odd to miss someone I never knew. I have love for my nephew even though I never knew him. And my heart breaks for my baby sister knowing there is nothing I can do to stop the pain she feels. Last year our family was blessed when her and her husband had a son who is healthy and such an amazing boy. I see the joy my sister has and the love she has for my new nephew. With all the happiness and joy this little man has bought my family we still miss the first. I see it in my sister. We will never forget him

Although this whole video is completely heart-wrenching, I think the sign 'Hi Girl' hits me the hardest. I don't know why, all of the signs are equally as saddening, but that ones always makes my chest cave in. Truly amazing video.

[@danielmcgovern18]

That was beautiful. I miss my dad. 43 years he's gone. The hurt never goes away.

[@leannemossop]

I’m losing my mum at the present time, I’m sobbing.simply beautiful

[@DAZZAMAN3]

The power of this song is so hard to describe in words, so beautiful, heartfelt and grabs such emotion. Love and heartfelt hugs to those in the video and all of you who have lost someone close...stay strong, grieve freely and communicate with others close to you. Never ever shut yourself away and never feel you can't talk to others.

[@wahidayasmin54]

This had me in tears, my mum and dad died back 2013 and 2014 and this song spoke to me so much. May their memories be eternal 💖

[@amy2676]

the 53 people who disliked this video are so heartless. In this video we see people who are all heartbroken bc they lost someone they loved. I was in tears by the end of the video. How can you not see how much pain they've come thru and dislike the video. That honestly made me speechless.

[@DebraSeyfried]

I lost my mom about 3 months ago. I was there holding her hand for the last 6 hours. I'm in so much pain. Thank you for your song It's phenomenal

[@FrankGoetz]

This is such a beautiful yet heart-breaking song, I can't stop choking. The grief is so close and clear. I love this video, it helps to cope with the tragedies we might face in life. I don't know if my words make sense to anybody, it sure is hard for me to describe how this song moves me, and probably many others.

[@jenniferprice9847]

My husband passed away from Cancer that had metastasized we only had three months after he was diagnosed..if I had only known..we fought with radiation and immunotherapy but it was futile..he passed away in February and im so lost without him 25 years was not enough time with you.. my life is gone I love you so much and miss you baby 😢 until I see you again.. your always in my heart ❤️

[@ChloeOHare]

"Jesus, Joe, give me a hug." This broke my heart.

[@MamaSunshine_ASMR]

I found this on FB and had to seek it out, I'm sitting here bawling, I just lost my husband, my room mate and four friends this April. Preparing for the celebration of life this week, I'm still in shock, I'm broke, about to lose everything on top of the loss of my loved ones, This song is beyond touching, I know you wrote it in pain, but it was and is needed for some to process grief. Hugs to you.

[@CamilleBulgar]

Hey mommy🥺 I love and miss you. Hope you’re in a place free from all the pains you felt. Life is not the same without you and I don’t think it’ll ever be. Ask the Angels to watch over us.

[@AnGhaeilge]

Beautiful song Stephanie. Well done. Can feel your passion in it. It deserves the viral response it's receiving.

[@gabriellaarmstrong6517]

I rarely cry but for this I bawled my eyes out. I personally haven't lost someone every close to me but you can just see the raw emotion that is in this video that just brings you to tears. I will now be praying for these families that they stay save and keep their head up :-) and for everyone else in the comments, stay strong you are all amazing xx

[@conniethadonkilluminati8748]

[@morganb8061]

I lost my Grandma on June 5th. This song reduced me to a blubbering mess. I hadn't cried one single tear yet this whole month. I was that numb and angry at myself for not crying. Well thank you for breaking the dam. I need a good cry over my Grandma. I wasn't ready for her to leave.

[@kellymudd4908]

My husband has ALS, Lou Gerhigs disease and I watch a piece of him die each day. I know the outcome of this disease and I'm not ready for it, no one can ever be ready. My heart is so broken, I don't know how to deal with it all. We've been married for over 19 years and I can't imagine my life without him in it. I've asked God to let me hold him in my arms when that time comes. My husband always felt safe with me, I always gave him a sense of comfort and peace when he was going through hard times and that is why I want to hold him in my arms during his last breaths so that I can bring him that comfort and peace 💙

[@sandymehra8572]

Dear Kelly, I know what you are going through, I saw my wife who was with me for 16 years.. bidding me farewell. From the moment we knew about her cancer which was not curable and we knew the time.. Tried everything... I died each day with her...I have written my story above... Its just impossible to see you loved one suffer and see him/her go knowing the final outcome... Grief is very individual, only the person who goes through it and feels it knows what the real meaning of grief it... Give him all the love you have, Usually I say to everyone.. There are many regrets in life Let Not Saying "I Love You" a million times Be One Of Them I Love You Said A Million Times After... Has No Meaning Than a " I Love You" Said Now To The Person You Love Let him feel, your love, Show him your strength, For who knows, what you are radiating to him Can help him... God Bless!!! May You Get The Strength. Peace Be With You and Him. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Have lived through traumas and anger and hurtfulness my entire life with someone. I recently decide it was time to walk away. After this video came to me i am thankful. No matter if i do decide to walk away or not i will do so with the reminders of this song. The reminder is let those things go that brought the hurt and the anger because it is not worth holdong onto. Forgive and love this person as one day they will go. One day i will feel the hurt of them no longer being here.
