This Is Not Goodbye-Melissa Ethridge

[@susanbadeaux1661]

played this song at my beautiful daughter's funeral. I raised my hand filled with strength stood up and said This is not goodbye. I played this CD all the time but didn't notice this song till my daughter passed away. I knew this CD would have the perfect song I needed. I listen to it every morning. It gives me strength.

I lost my Mom 6and1/5 yrs ago. I was 50,she was 75,in May it will be 7yrs and I still miss her,and want to hear her voice but I know her spirit is still with me and I carry her everyday 😢😢😢

[@katrinagrieshaber958]

When I finally leave this world I want to be played @ my memorial service. Such a deep beautiful song. Such a beautiful tenderness in Melissa's voice!! I just love this song.😊❤❤❤

[@MsPurini1]

I am only 42 year of age and have chosen this song as my funeral reflection song! Love it to bits! Very powerful!

[@codytillia3066]

[@elliottcavazos8946]

I lost my mother to breast cancer on June 20th. I miss her so much and she fought so hard till the end. I know one day we will see each other again. Never take parents for granted we are only here on this earth for a short while.

[@rckymtnnative]

I have always had a strong connection to all of Melissa's music. But this one and precious pain are the two that I love the most. Funny how this one was released around the same time my Momma was in hospice. She passed knowing she was going to be able to hold her first born again, and dance with her Daddy again

[@dmill0305]

My best friend and soul sister of over 20 years passed away with all of her family by her side in 2009 from lung cancer. A few days before, when we knew it was happening, this song played in my car on the way home. This song describes what she went through in so many ways. I still miss her every day. Thank you Melissa for such a beautiful song, written straight from the heart and soul.

[@katbowl9971]

I know this song is about Melissa's breast cancer & her chemo experience, but I lost my mom in Sept of last year, and after listening to the lyrics again, it seems I feel this song on another level. Thank you, Melissa. This song brings me comfort.

[@cadsglassnhalf]

this is not goodbye, just farewell til next time, not matter how hard it is and how much we miss our loved ones passed. excellent song, perfect for my best friend whom left this earth 2 yrs ago 30 april, miss you more each day my best mate always xoxoxo

[@katrinagrieshaber958]

This is one of that I want played at my memorial service when I pass away. It is such a beautiful powerful song. I'm not going soon; but this does give me peace when I need it. I go to my room to listen to it because I know it would upset & they wouldn't be able to handle it right now. Thank you Melissa for giving the world such a beautiful song.

[@vanessawarren9019]

My sister and Uncle are both battling cancer and I cant get home. I use this song for courage to help get me through. If I can't get back to Aus then at least I have lyrics like this to give me strength.

[@MsAngelJane]

I hold much happiness and pain in my heart but one things for sure, wherever I go, what ever I do... this song will come with me!

[@MrApera3]

We played this at my daughters funeral,i love th think it is her saying daddy dont cry im OK

[@sheenacodling5017]

I lost my mother and best friend on November 2, 2020 to colon cancer. She listened to this song several times a day. At this very moment, this is the first time ive allowed myself to listen it since her death.

[@Beth467]

Prayers for your heart. ❤️

[@cheryl571105]

For everyone who has lost someone dear.....know that they are not lost. They are just not visible. They will always be near and you will always feel them close by. They never leave....

[@prettykiray]

a song written while on chemotheraphy..im actually in tears while listening to this song..melissa wrote from the heart--that's a real artist

[@everquestwidow71]

This song means more to me now especially after a breast cancer scare. Please ladies, I can not stress enough we must do monthly self exams and have mamograms yearly.

[@henrycgonzales8012]

To my Mom, Concepcion, and to my partner, Mark R. Cook. This song I hold so dear in my heart, in remembrance of you. Until we meet again, my guardian Angels... I Miss and Love you both so much!!!

[@ALtheDoctorWho]

From the moment we got here we were always afraid of staying goodbye because we don't remember.

[@christophoto]

This song is such a powerful song! The first time I heard it I cried like a baby. I have used this as a personal mantra. I don't take people for granted and I try to make things right. Cause you do not know when you may not be able to say Goodbye! I also have it written in my living will that it is to be played when I am being laid in the grown as well as at my rosary!

[@evacronymr1]

I love the way music like this allows us to feel emotions we keep in check.

[@geraldpresley8611]

Very beautiful . . . it reminds me of someone very dear to me that I lost.

[@phoenixrising180]

we never got the chance to say 'goodbye' to mike, who was taken from us in a very brutal way. I know he's still with us because he has some unfinished business to take care of before he leaves. this song gives me great comfort. Thank you, Melissa, with all my heart.

[@rebeccavaughan3615]

It's not goodbye! 🕊

[@Becky_Davis]

This song is about Melissa and her journey through chemo. It's about how she'd go in for another round of chemo and asked Tami to wait for her to come back from the side effects. She explained this in an interview that can be found here on youtube.

[@1frisma]

Well done!!! Well done indeed. Thank you

[@Chris32872]

This is truly gorgeous,love this?

[@Acunja]

Bravely you let go of my hand I can't speak yet you understand Where I go now, I go alone This path I walk, these days of stone And the angels are calling I must go away Wait for me here, silently stay And don't ask me why Only believe this is not goodbye All of my strength, all my desire Still cannot melt this breath of fire I go to meet some kind of test Bury the truth that scars my chest And the angels are calling and calling I must go away Wait for me here, silently stay And don't ask me why Only believe this is not goodbye I gathered all my courage I shaved off all my fear With this banner on my shoulder I hold your essence near And the angels are calling and calling and calling I must go away Wait for me here, silently stay And don't ask me why Only believe this is not goodbye Only believe this is not goodbye Read more: Melissa Etheridge - This Is Not Goodbye Lyrics | MetroLyrics

One of my dearest friends died the other day in a car accident. I will always hold her in my heart. :(

[@KocuriaPL]

Community of Polish lesbians lost today a very brave activist, journalist, writer Anna Laszuk. Cancer... this evil killer took her from us just before her 43 birthday. She was such a fine person, creative, funny and nice. This song is my celebration of her memory...
