[@davidg6909]

Held my wife while she died, telling her to go to the light. I can fix anything but this cancer kicked my ass.

[@jaynarene]

This song unintentionally tells the story of my son's last moments and my life during and after it. It's also his memorial song. Beautifully painful.

[@stephanieraineymusic]

Sorry for your loss 🙏💛

[@ivyconry69]

So sorry mom.

[@stevehickson1275]

I said goodbye to my son 2 years ago.. every day hurts.. but you have to be strong x

[@stevebeddows2418]

We lost our son almost 2 years ago now. We held his hand as he passed, I've never felt so empty. The pain is unbearable....

[@cn4140]

Sending you love and comfort. From another mom who lost her baby son . Loss of child, like no other pain one could imagine. This life here is just a blink in the frame of infinity. You'll be with your son again. Bless you and your son ❤❤

i dont think i have heard a more personal song in my life

[@aprilfisher9997]

She wrote it after the death of her nephew who died just before his first birthday and it was released in 2015.

[@crazyhawk201ad]

Just found this... My mom is 79 years old and fighting two cancers. We know the one is going to take her from me. We grew up poor so her and I are very close. She lives with me and I get to take care of her till the end. This song hits so hard....

[@trevorchoi]

I don't know you but stay strong brother.

[@emilycheek3077]

it hit me hard when my dad got cancer as well, soak as much time as you can, it helped me distract my thoughts of losing him, love your way ❤‍🩹

[@juliewilliams2517]

It's an honor to be with someone you love when they take their last breath. But for your Mother who was there with you took your first, I believe it's a responsibility. But that said, it was the most painful moment of my life. This songs sums it up so simply and perfect with haunting beauty.

[@davidg6909]

Your Mom is very lucky to have you, and you are lucky to be able to help her through this. Take Care.

[@WifeofaJer]

I held my husband’s hand as he left this world. This song describes him leaving.

[@editafuentes4472]

ABSOLUTELY a poignant song.I heard this song recently and it touched EVERY emotion I was going through while I sat with my partner of 20 years during his final hours. Foremost, I reminded him that he wasn’t alone during his final hours (his greatest fear). I thanked him for his impactful support and love he instilled to my daughters that he raised as his own ( my daughters still refer to him as “dad”). I tried to reassure him that the girls and I would eventually be fine. Although we didn’t have the perfect life, it was perfect for us…the life lessons we shared and experienced together are seared in my heart. Lastly, I told him it was time to meet his maker and ask his mountain of questions…he had many. It will be 14 years since he passed. I truly hope he knows how much he’s missed and that our love endures. Love the lyrics “I love you more than you know…you’ve got a home inside my soul.” This speaks to me profoundly ❤

[@Spreadingdword]

I lost my wife 2 years ago at the age 46 years by the negligence of a person, she was the most amazing kind hearted person on earth this speaks to my heart and to the many people that knew her ❤❤❤

[@cutebrat72]

For my beautiful Mama taken at the young age of 46 from ovarian cancer. She's been gone 25 years today and the pain never goes away. Love you Mama.

[@miked7304]

I'm so sorry for your loss. My brother has been gone 36 years and I still think of him all the time.

19yrs ago this past Feb 16th, I lost my dad, my rock and my hero, just two days passed my 35th birthday. And it still feels like yesterday. I was standing by his bed when he drew his last breath. I was able to kiss his forehead and tell him I love him, just before he left. I miss you so much Dad and I love you. This song hit me so hard, with feelings. . . R.I.P. Dad/Ray

Absolutely true as she wrote this in memory of her baby nephew who died just before his first birthday and released it in 2015.

[@terrabaypark]

this song showed up in my feed and immediately i started crying. my wife had pancreatic cancer and she fought for 6 months--in pain. my sadness is a small price to pay for her peace and the end of her pain. but that doesnt mean my hurt has gone away, far from it

[@John-uk7hb]

I know brother my wife died a year ago from cancer. I'm lost to man I know what your going through. I have no words to help. I'm crying now every night. It only gets worse. I love you brother hang in there I don't know what else to say.

The world got a little darker after that night. I’m sorry about all the pain and suffering you both endured. It’s up to us to make up the new light in the world.

I feel your pain & wish I could take it away. Songs like this are more than songs. I'm fighting cancer & have done for last 6 years...this song is in my top 6... My thoughts are with you...

[@Craftergirl]

My mom passed away 6/23/24 from stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She just found out 3 weeks before she passed away she didn’t have a fighting chance I miss her every day. Then in August 2024 I had to put my cat to sleep to kidney failure. 12/15/17 I lost my dad to cancer. Then my dog got really sick on 10/3/24 and she just starting to get better she on 4 antibiotics and I was told two times that I might have to put her to sleep. But I new she was a fighter.

I lost my mother in May of 2002, I never found a song that could mean what I couldn't say. I lost my grandma in April of 2006, in hospice care. She beat lung cancer once and it came back in her pancreas and took her in months. I lost my cat of 19 years this May, your voice is so beautiful and pure. This song brings me to tears and memories of my lost love ones. I wish I had this song years ago when my mom died to sing to her.

[@IronHorse2007]

It's sounds silly, but I lost my pup just a couple weeks ago. She was only 12 and had a long fight with diabetes and cushings disease. She passed away in my arms, and this song really hit hard. She was a huge part of my life.

I lost my husband 7 months ago, from his cancer diagnosis on his 64th Birthday it was less then 10 weeks 😢. This song is exactly how I felt the day he passed in my arms, and how I felt ever since, I kept my side of the bed and I have a huge teddy bear on his side of the bed, that I snuggle into every night to fall asleep. This song is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing it to the world ❤️

I lost my brother to brain cancer on June 17th of this year. I held his hand after he took his last breath until his hand went cold. If I could put into words how I felt during and after losing him, it would be this song.

[@Guffy99]

This version of the song is so touching and moving. Sung beautifully. I lost my husband in June 2023 and my father in December 2015. Losing my Father was really heart breaking,. Losing my husband was earth shattering. We looked forward to growing old together. He was taken too early and quickly by MND/ALS. Devastating for him and for me. His life cut short and my life to live without him. Thank you for this beautiful song. 💔😭😢

I lost my daughter Natalia on December 28, 2022 during labor. My first moments with her were when I held her in my arms and felt her body grow cold. She was perfect in every way. We buried her in a pretty pink casket and she still wears the first outfit she ever wore. This song voices what my life has been last 18 months. I thank God for my blessed hope in Jesus of eternal life and being reunited with my daughter one day.

I did it several times a day because I knew it could be the last time I would ever hear it!! We were married for almost 30 years. I miss him more than anyone could ever imagine! But I know that I will see him again one day! Thank you for sharing your story and song.

We need more of your poetic words, especially 4 the millions that r suffering in this world w/grief. I kno I’m not alone in this depth of despair, my hope 2 the others who r suffering as well, I say turn 2 Jesus he’s been my only hope, light, & purpose 4 my place in today’s society, b/c he’s consistent. Jesus is a soft place 2 fall & a place of grace that’s so freely given. Earthly people who haven’t suffered a loss can’t relate, so don’t waste your time & mental energy on those that pretend or suspend your concerns. Turn 2 Jesus he loves us all unconditionally…

I lost my beautiful daughter, my youngest child, to a major heart attack on 11/02/22. She lived with me and her mother her entire life. While on life support, she squeezed my hand when I said I loved her, just before her last breath. You see, she had no sustaining brain activity and was pronounced brain dead and was therefore taken off life support. She was truly my heart and soul... A hole that cannot be filled. Your song fits like a glove... Thank you for this ❤
