My 16 year old daughter, Abby, took her own life 9/26/15. That was the night my heart broke in a million pieces and time stopped. When I walked in and found her. I have never prayed or screamed to God like I did that night. I held her in my arms and just prayed. As a mother who lost her entire world, I want to take the pain that I feel and help other teens who think about suicide. I know if my daughter would have thought how this would devastate me I know in my heart she wouldn't. Depression is an ugly disease and if I can help another teen from causing their mother the pain I feel then I know that Abby's story will continue. Her story is not over.
+candace mandace my new years resoulution was not to attempt suicide again. i'm 18 and diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder a.k.a. Maniac Depression disorder. I have a awesomee family and love God yet still can't seem to be happy. All I can say is a smile can be fake or real and the difference is not normally clear.
+Evan White dude i have that same disorder its so hard to feel happy and thats all ive ever wanted people dont understand how hard it is but respect ive been there and im glad to see your still with us
+candace mandace It was April 19th 2012 I was 19 and I tried to take my life I was in college and the scary thing is I didn't know what was happening I didn't know why I felt the way I felt all I knew is my friends kept hurting me I was being bullied and I just wanted the pain to stop to me I was blinded to see no one cared everyone thought I was making it up that I could just snap out of it I didn't realize I had taken so much pills all at once until it was too late not fully realizing what I had just done I called my mother at work and told her what I did and I said my goodbyes and hung up. I was rushed to the hospital where my stomach was pumped I could hardly breath the only thing I remember of that night was seeing my mom come rushing in and her face is something that I cannot explained to this day and makes me cry thinking about it because she had thought she was going to lose her only daughter. Candace I am so sorry for your loss so so sorry
You are so right.... I pray, and cry, and wish everyday for my pain to go away. It hurts so bad, so fricken bad to be me. Every day I wake up feeling like I'm in hell, and I just don't want to go on like this... it hurts so bad. God help me... 😪
@@baalbelial7053 I really am hoping for you to get through it. Please try to look forward. Someday, your pain will just be a memory and a proof that you've been very strong and was able to get through hard times. Keep on fighting 💕
@@geraldtorres2962 I'm ok I'm on heavy anti deppesant I got myself Hypnotized for the pain and I came off OPIOIDS so I no longer have that problem but I have bad days thankfully few and far between
i loss my brother to , my brother was only 30 about 2months ago , i miss him everyday ,than you mikey for serving in the navy for 12 years ,forvermy hero , loveyou 30000
I absolutely love this song, I lost my 13 year old son to suicide in Sept of 2017, and this song describes him to a tee, he was so amazing and such a truly beautiful soul. Thank you so very much for sharing this song with the world.
Reading your comment just hit me like a ton of bricks and Instantly am crying like a baby right now. My daughter is 13 and sitting in a hospital because of her extreme desire to commit suicide. I knew it can happen to anyone but I would ask wou ld a 13 really do it and the answer is yes. Omg what am I going to do if she does it
@@katiebuck3053 I hope your daughter has realized that life is worth living, and all the things she is going through right now are only temporary, it does get better and brighter down the road. I truly wouldn't wish the pain and heartbreak of loosing a child to their own hand on anyone. Show her you love her and hold her close and don't let go.
I lost my wife of 21 years and 7 year old daughter this past week to a car accident.. All I can ask is why? This pain is horrible, but it gives me peace to know they're both walking free down the streets of gold with our heavily father in heaven.. Rest in Eternal peace my angels
Hope you are all right. My son who was 25 died a year and a half ago. I happen to be a medium. If I can be of any help, let me know. They will always keep an eye on you. They walk with you, especially your child. I will send healing energies your way. The memorial video for my son William is on his "RU-vid" channel. "Video Insights" Rest in Peace, William, Momma Loves You. ❤️
If you're listening to this then you either lost someone you love or you're going through something just know you're not alone, let us go through this pain alone. 😔😞💔😭
We are alone, you don't even know who needs you.. that person you see each day but never cared, instead writing here "you are not alone .." not going to help anyone We all are alone.
My uncle took his life and I’ve thought about it sometimes and I don’t want to anymore I’m scared for the rest of my life I hope I can succeed in life and make everyone happy but I feel like I mess up a lot and one thing I ask myself every day is “ why?” And I never get the answer. Why did he do it? I think I know why tho..😔😢😭
Actually country music is one of the few genres of music other than gospel music that seems to speak the most about God country family patriotism and has the deepest respect for those who serve our country and seems to also sing the most about reconciliation concerning our divided and troubled nation!
Country music is one of the few genres that still reference the Bible. It tells a story, often a very real tragic one. Whatever music you like, I hope it brings you to a better place. This group has about three heavy songs. One talks about a teenage girl with cancer that loses her hair, and fears not finding a date to a dance. One talks about loss with the lyrics "Here comes goodbye". One other song has the video focusing on a girl losing her boyfriend in a crash. I can only listen to so much sadness though.
I lost my 14 year old son, April 11, 2022. He battled depression/anxiety/OCD for 3 years. He was an elite athlete. He put so much pressure on himself. He was in counseling and on medication. He would bare his soul to me about his struggles with thoughts of hurting himself. This song hits me like a brick. My wife and I firmly believe that he didn’t mean to do it. He possibly was seeing how far he could go before he lost consciousness to see what it felt like. Then he couldn’t wake up. My daughter’s voice is what I hear and I also see me performing cpr on him for I don’t know how long. It literally feels like a part of me was amputated. He was not just my son he was my best friend. I’m over society and the medical society acting like depression isn’t a big deal. His counselor went out of town for 3 weeks. Didn’t notify us. He asked to see her and was flatly turned away.
My deepest sympathy for you and your family. My heart sank when I read the date of his passing, my big brother died by suicide on April 11, 2014. Donald was 51. He was my hero, and everything a big brother should be and more. A very kind, honest, loving, wicked sense of humor, a haunting contagious laugh, and the best at whatever he did. Donald is in the Hall of Fame of Bowlers in Milwaukee. He bowled multiple games with the score of 300 which is a perfect game .He has a lane named after him in California Rockett Bowl Bowling Alley. I miss him more than I can ever convey. My son Sean, boyfriend Troy and I walk every year in the "OUT of the Darkness" sponsored by The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in his memory to help raise awareness and help in the fight to save lives. My Son, boyfriend, and myself are ALL suicide survivors as well. My son attempted suicide 2 years ago. He is now 18 and still struggles as do I. I can't imagine the pain your feelings I, it's something I myself could not bare. Our prayers and thoughts are with everyone who loved your son. May you have angels around you at all times to guide and comfort you. This song is what I played everyday when I woke up for over a year. Im going to post a song for your Son you and your family, "Calling All Angels" by Jane Siberry & K.D. Lang May he be at peace for all eternity. I 👣
Been fighting depression for 14 years now. And it just keeps getting harder and harder to stay strong and this song still gets me crying like a baby every single time I hear it
Hye Bailey, I've been there, Depression is cruel but it's wrong. There's bounty in your life. Please don't do this. Message me and I will walk you through it. I have been there. It took me 12 years but I am finally beating it. Please. Please let me help you
Hey darling, I know I didn’t have depression for that long but trust me. It will end one day. It all starts with you. You must be willing to help yourself. Otherwise there won’t be point in asking other people for help. That’s how I made it out. It’s hard, but you can do it. Don’t keep falling in that trap. You have a long life to live. Don’t waste it away being depressed. Please know there’s hope. I hope you take my words ❤️
@@Unknownuser-mw8td thank you, I appreciate you checking in ❤💙 idk how to explain it but after me and my husband gave birth to our miracle baby boy, my depression poofed away like a miracle. I honestly have no clue how but I'm definitely not questioning it 😅😊 it was definitely a tough battle but I'm hoping that was the end up that long hard road. I'm glad you were able to get through it! It's a tough battle! And a hard one to talk about for sure!
@@baileymelton9934 Omg that’s amazing!! I’m so proud and happy for you! Glad you had a great delivery 🙏🏻💙 He saved you. And thank you. It feels amazing making it out of that tunnel.
it is real. i would know because i have it . another thing about it that bugs me is that they either think that we're faking it or they make a joke about it
So sorry for your loss. Most of the time you won't see it. But know this. You could not have changed the outcome. It was his time and God's will. No more suffering. He is at peace. The grief is for us that are left behind. As long as you loved him. You did everything you could that was humanly possible
none of us ever see the writing on the walls. Do not blame yourself as humans and as people we all make choices. I am sorry you and your family had to feel this hurt.
Sadly we miss the signs and want to blame ourselves, but truth be told he was the only one who could determine if he was staying or going, I know this from experience, too close to home for me. You could have tried to stop him, sway him to stay, or love him deeper and it was still his decision to stay or walk away! I am very sorry you went through this with all the hurt and that he went through the pain in his life to decide what his fate would be!
I'm so sorry for your loss...My son took his life 2 years ago too... I started a facebook group called Sister mom. You may want to join our group... so many beautiful moms dealing with the death of a child.
Thank you Rascal Flatts for making this beautiful song. As someone who suffers depression and has thought of suicide many times, this song has helped me get through my darker days. I won't let people in my life ask "Why"...
Let me be the first on here to tell you how incredible you are for pushing through every tough day and for refusing to let people that care about you ask "why". You're a strong, amazing person. Don't ever forget it :)
i lost my granddaughter 2 months ago cause of a drunk driver i cry for her every day cause i miss her so much she was only 24 and had such a beautiful heaet
As a long-term PTSD sufferer, and who's half brother committed suicide many years ago, whom for many years was in self denial, this rendition lifts me up (hint for your next choice of song)- it reminds me of what I put my family (especially my wife) through. Please, don't give up: life may seem like the darkest cave but, with help, it can change into a light at the end of a tunnel that steadily gets' brighter. Stay strong and let someone in. Peace.
Five years later, I am still here listening to this song. I am in my last year of college and currently engaged to the love of my life. I still have depression but I have managed it so it has not taken over my life. Life has gotten better for me despite the heartaches I had experienced since and the state of the world now. Life is truly worth the fight and I will always fight so no-one in my life asks "Why".
The people that are gone and have loved ones commenting here about how devastating their loss has been for them are the truly lucky ones. Some of us have very few people who would grieve our loss when our day come. We can count them on one hand.
Not always the case. I friend of mine took his life last year. He said no one would miss him. There were hundreds turned out to mourn him. He just couldn't see it before it was too late.
It is a symptom of the United States government. The boomers instituted the trickle down economy laws where they give big business trillions of dollars and expect that the CEOs would pay their employees better. They said slavery would ruin the economy. Abolished slavery did not. They said safety regulations would destroy the economy. It did not. They said minimum wage would wreck the economy. Pretty sure it didn't. Money buys happiness to $75k a year. Why? Because at $75k a year you can finally afford the mental health treatment that you need.
Depression is a loss of joy. People with loads of money can be depressed. It crosses all borders: age, sex, race, religion, political party, nationality. Ignorance is our greatest problem. Depression is not a weakness, it is an illness and can be treated. People must be encouraged to speak out and ask for help. Family and friends must offer help. It is not shameful to be ill, physically or mentally. Help is out there. You can feel better. Just ask
@@TheCuriousNoob full stop. Professional help to sort out mental health issues is of course nothing to scoff at, but if you think money is all a soul needs to keep itself from self destructing, excuse me if it is inaccurate to say you dont know what it feels like to be depressed.
I had an attempt a few weeks ago and when I got home from the hospital after 8 days, I saw a post on my dad’s Facebook. It said, “Suicide doesn’t take away the pain. It just passes it onto someone else.” I’m gonna try to keep that in my mind when I have those thoughts.
Then what takes away the pain. The pain is the worst of ANY disease. Why don't people realize that? When the only way to stop it is to die. Common sense. Ignorance can be educated. No one cares to understand.
As hard as it is. Talking helps so much. I'm a survivor of almost 13 years next month. Two attempts at 17. But I learned therapy was amazing and having a support system to confide in. Depression is REAL. Coping with it is HARD. but you can. I've coped with mine for many years. You have to reach out for help. I'm always Here for any one who needs help. Almost 13 years later and I am married have kids and nieces and nephews. I still have bad days but my good outweigh them.
@Visto che it lies but I can't start to describe to anyone how bad the pain is. You just can't grasp it unless you feel it. I'm so proud of you..over the years I've been thrown more trauma\tragedy than most people will ever have to go through in a life time. I started to notice that I could always see something good come out of something bad.
@@donnashepard2435 please don't. I've tried several.attempts..i succeeded last time but it was only by a miracle that I survived. Take it one moment at a time.. Blare some music. Do every thing to focus on anything other the past and don't think too far into the future. After hearing about Chester bennington I started listening to some of his interviews and that's the first time I've ever heard anybody tell my story just articulated is so much better. So I started listening to his music every single song relates to me so I've been on a Lincoln Park cake for about 2 years now. Some people say how do you listen to that depressing stuff? I can relate to it and I feel a lot less alone I hope you're okay
As a mental health expert I want everyone who thinks Why to know that I am here for you. I won't judge you! I will listen to you and if possible hold you. Know that I love you. No matter who you are, or where you are. I love you. I see you. I will always be here.
@@marieodonnell5815 understandable. Life is hard. It’s one of the hardest things we will ever do, but it can be one of the best things we ever do. I’m always here
my husband died , and now I am almost going to be homeless, family doesn't want to let me stay with them as I try to get approved for a cheap apartment, I am tired of dealing with all these problems after husbands death, the hospital, doctor, unpaid bills, he didn't have life insurance, so I can't pay all this, house is falling down, so can't live there, and don't have a vehicle, so you see my life is now a hell, with no way out!!
Please be kind to people! You never know what they are dealing with, you don’t know what their home life is or what they are going through. You don’t know their demons. Life is short, build people up, don’t break them down.
Don't be foolish some of us are just unloved or want it I found it much easier to accept the truth expecting someone to love you it's just a waste of time
I put my dog to sleep today 9/22/18 at 2 PM. She had fought cancer for a few weeks and last Wednesday was the last time she actually ate anything. She was 12 and I grew up with her since I was 8. We got her as a rescue and she was my best friend. So this song has been on repeat since earlier. RIP Roxy, I love you.
Was just reading your comment, and I know the anniversary of this heartbreaking day is really close. Just wanted you to know, as a fellow dog lover who had say good-bye to her baby boy April 21st, 2018 I'm sending you well wishes. They are peacefully waiting for us at rainbow bridge. :D
What hurts the most is not know why!? My heart dies every day on his birthday, when I walk I see him sometime smiling at my corner of my eyes or sometimes when I think about you and I begin to cry I feel your cold hand cleaning up my tears my son. I miss you so much hondo! I started crying again my son but I know you'll be in my arms again. Love my son😔😔😔
This song makes me cry like a baby. I've struggled with depression and even attempted suicide several times. I found strength in my darkest of times, putting all my faith in God knowing that he loves us all and it's all for a greater purpose. Remember sometimes it's one minute at a time but keep pushing forward. RIP Mike Zemiatis I'll Carry your leason near to my heart knowing I'll see you again.
Why? Because it hurts so damn much to live. . . because death seems less painful than the lies and difficulties of this word. Update: Hello everyone! I honestly wasn't expecting to return to this song two years later and find so many likes and supportive comments below. When I commented this I was at the darkest moments of my life. I was crushing under the weight of many burdens and problems and difficulties that I thought more than once about ending it all. But I didn't. And somehow, with time, it did get better. Two years later I'm still struggling. I still have those moments were breathing feels like a task but I'm headed towards light and happiness, something I'd not have been able to do if I ended my life. I've graduated from college, I've gotten married, I have a daughter who is my world now . . . I've become happier and more stable. So I want to say to all those that are struggling that although life may be difficult for you right now, please, please hold onto it. As time passes things will get better. At least there'll be a possibility, while suicide is a permanent end. It's an end to all opportunities that you may encounter, an end to all people you might meet that'll change your life in ways you'd never thought someone could. So do hold on. Take deep breaths, cry, scream, talk to someone, write in some diary, write poetry, make music or whatever calms your soul. And keep breathing because there's nothing more precious than your breath.
Wow ...crying tears listening to this for the first time ...my hat is off to rascal flats ...had a brother die from suicide 43 years ago ...I’m a piano player and composer ...and I still could not write these words to remember my brother ...have written music ...but ,.could never come up with the words I needed to express.
The band Perry said it right. A penny for my thoughts oh no I sell em for a dollar, they're worth so much more after I'm a goner and maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing. Funny when you're dead how people start listening
I found this song because of the girl I like, she has had some fucked up moments that has made her depressed and wants to die a lot. But she’s still he and I’m been here for her for the past few years
Lost my friends a year and a half ago. He just couldnt take it anymore. And tho it was a year and a half ago. I cant get over it to this day. Found this song today. Sitting here struggling to finish mine. Thinking about how he never finished his.
I lost my aunt, who was like a mother to me, on 4/30/12. I listen to this song every year. The pain doesn't go away. It just hides until the day comes around every year.
I lost my amazing husband last month to Covid. Gone too soon. He was an angel on earth to so many. Even though it was not suicide I feel he made the ultimate sacrifice by deciding to end our suffering and his when he found out he had emphysema while in the hospital. God had a plan and we have to have Faith and Trust, even when it hurts to comprehend. Stay strong. Now he is my Blue Eyed Angel in Heaven.
Awww, so sorry about your loss Tracey, I truly understand how it feels losing a loved one, my wife passed while having our daughter, wasn't easy for me though but I'm grateful to God for today 🙏. My deep and sincere condolences, how have you been? 🌺 😢
I hope it's not too late for you to read this. That is not true at all. People care more than you think. Somebody maybe somebody you don't even talk to, thinks about you and cares about you.
May 18, 2021, Kaleb, my 24 year old son, why? Love you for eternity, miss you forever. Rest now my beautiful baby boy, Mommy is always near even though you are no longer here, you are always in my memories and heart.
My beautiful, kind, loving son will forever be 19. He’s been gone 6 months and the whys are excruciating. Just like I never knew real love till I had children, I didn’t know real pain and sadness till one of my children left. God, I miss him.
Dang it. It was mid 2010 when I received a phone call that one of my high school friends had took her life away. It was my first year as a university student and all was glory and new lands to explore. Back then Rascal Flatts would play almost everyday on my mp3 and I listened to this as I headed towards my hometown to farewell her. I cried a lot. This song means so much. Its lyrics are powerfully chosen and performed. Life has its ups and downs but sometimes it gets unbearable. Now, more than five years away, it's me who is touching rock bottom. I can't seem to find a reason to remain on the stage as they say. I keep pushing forwards against all odds but I can't see clearly. There seems to be a gray lawyer in front of my eyes that doesn't allow me to perceive reality as it is. I don't even know what I'm writing this in here but I guess it feels good to let it all out somehow. It hurts to mask feelings for too long, especially when you don't want your loved ones to suffer because of you
Everyday I wake up and I feel like I have nothing left to live for, I’m so tired of living with my depression and anxiety I don’t even care anymore about anything, no matter what I do no one wants me anymore. It’s just so sad 😢that I can’t even fight anymore because I never had a chance to get better.
My friend Sean took his life on Friday. His loving and support e wife broke the news to me that day. In Sean, I met my match in terms of someone who was equally if not more passionate about the game of baseball as I am. It hurts even more knowing that the sport that brought him so much joy was about to begin a new season. I’ll miss going to games with him, doing our fantasy league, and year round text messages strategizing about our team’s moves. I’ll miss him taking the time to coach my kids. More than anything I’ll miss the kind, genuine, intelligent, and warm person who left us in pain.
After browsing through so many comments, it's so very heartwarming to see so many people share their stories of loss and so many so quick to offer genuine friendships and/or support... Thank you..(choked up).. Thank you for proving humanity really does still exist!... Wow. Wish I had the opportunity and pleasure to meet all of you... Unfortunate way to find such humanity but, I'll take it. God bless Rascal Flatts for choosing to do this song and all of you here commenting in such positive ways.. 🌹🌹🌹❤️🌹🌹🌹
Janice im sure your heart is aching but that is probably the most beautiful sentence i have ever read, you are a beautiful soul, and im sending you warm and happy wishes, God Bless you.

Lost my son, Adam in 2016 over a girl he loved so much. They had a daughter, thank God I have a piece of him left. My heart is so broken it gets worse not better. As the years go by it feels like yesterday how can it be this long. I miss you son. I l love ❤ you so much.
I lost my Adam to suicide because of a girl too, Well, she was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. It will be 5 years for me in September, The pain hasn't gone away, just lessened. I just miss him so so much. He also had two sons but they live far away. 😭 I pray that you can see your granddaughter and spend time with her. 🙏
This song literally saved my life from suicide very recently. Thank you so much Rascal Flatts, and thanks to everyone who has prayed for the safety of kids like me who only want to give up. May everyone who has experienced suicide find peace with God
u deserve to live .. no matter what are the problems u have been through u have to fight and never give up u know why? cuz there r a beautiful days waiting for u.. someday u will be dad and have children and wife and pretty warm life ..keep this words in ur mind *life is like a piano white keys r happens moments and black keys are bad moments but remember both keys r played together to give sweet music* 💜 stay strong my bro 💜
Something Ive told myself everytime I thought of ending it is this: no matter how many times someone tells you it will get better or someone will miss you, you cant prove it. Think of yourself and what you love instead. Small things you love that are worth waiting for. Maybe its eating one more slice of fresh pizza out of the oven or feeling the sun shine on your face. Small things will add up and hopefully youll find enough of those little things to stay
If you are listening to the lie's of the enemy, telling nobody Loves you, every one will be better with out you Tried to take my life at 15 years old, couple other, time's then , started using drugs, and drinking, then I met my Savior Jesus Christ, delivered me from drug's and drinking and, showed me how much I matter, ❤ so trust me you matter God made you for Him, on purpose for, this time, He has a plan for, you Greater then you could ever imagine ❤ That's why the enemy is lying to you, God bless you ♥️ Now I'm truly living, He never leave my side, God bless you ♥️
I used to love this song because I like Rascal Flatts, but ever since my friend took his life, this song has a whole lot of meaning now. That "this old world really ain't that a bad place" hits me hard.
I lost a friend to suicide last week. I truly did not know his pain. I pray he found the peace he was looking for, and for the family and friends he has left behind. 💔
I'm here because Im trying to find a song to leave my children to try and explain why I can't hold on anymore. I've lived but reading the pain of family members losing young ones is just so heartbreaking and wrong. It has me questioning whether I can really do this. So thank you for giving me the slightest doubt when all I was was a song away from ending it.
Please don’t hurt your kids and family that way. My husband left our 5 year son and I and it hurts so terribly bad. My son doesn’t understand daddy is never coming back. He will talk about when daddy comes back to Texas. 💔 please seek help, you can make this, you are strong.
know that you are truly loved and each day, your smile brightens someone's day, your strength inspires them and your wisdom motivates them. God loves you and is moving on your behalf!!!
so this song really gets to me... both of my parents have committed suicide.. my father was march 12, 2006. and my mother was may 4, 2015, this song just makes me think so much.. rascal flatts is such a good writer/artist. this song relates to me in so many ways... all i ask is why...
thank you! since everything has happpend. i really am such a stronger person ive learned so much in this world.. gained so much patience, respect, and to not take anything for grannit. Marina DeVries
On November 15th of 2016 my daughter of 17 passed away unexpectedly the song helps me cope with a tough times along with their song I won't let you go gives me so much comfort during times like this they have really taught me that I am not alone and my God will walk with me during the difficult times and he will never let go and he will catch me when I fall and I have fallen a lot of times but he is there to pick me up and he is there to dry my eyes and he is there for everyone and he will catch them when they fall and he will dry their eyes and during tough times thank you rascal Flatts for teaching us that God will help and God will help pick us up off the ground and he will dry our tears.
This song hits very close to home to me! A great friend that I was very much in love with took his own life in 2016. I was one of the first responders on scene after the fact and I have not been the same since. My younger sister showed me this song shortly after and I still listen to it often and think of him every day. I just hope that anyone feeling helpless knows that there is help available and I will personally be available to anyone that needs to talk!
My daddy took his life last year just before my 17th birthday... 2-24-1963 ~ 6-22-2020😭 I remember the police calling me. They told me they found him. I screamed and fell to my knees asking God to just let this be a joke. He was my everything. I remember driving to his home from my moms. I tried to run inside and the police grabbed me while I screamed and cried to make them tell me it was fake. My mom and older sister cried as well. It broke them but it shattered me. 😭
So true and I been lonely for so long. For the genuinely people who be simply honest with what they feel. Haven't had a real good friend or companionship in so long. Afraid of the painful growth..
My brother took his life today. My heart hurts and can't even believe this happened. Prayers to everyone that has to go through this pain. God be with you all.
I’m so sorry. I don’t know if you feel like there was more you could have done but please don’t. I can tell you there’s not much anyone can do until the person is ready to want the help. The darkness depression brings sometimes is indescribable.
I lost the father of my child before our son was born. Hes almost 9 and i still cant get over it. Ive never moved on. He was my first, my boy next door. I still cant move on.
This song reminds me of my life long friend taking her life on 2/14/11... She left behind a beautiful baby girl. I never heard this before, thought it was going to be something different. Beautiful but sad. RIP Anna! Your daughter is beautiful and smart. Her laugh sounds like yours. 💞💞💞
This song hits me, because I’m 21 but when I was 10, I found out one of my classmates took her own life, and then just two years later…. I thankfully stopped my dad but he almost took his own life. He told me “If I didn’t see the scare in my daughter’s eyes…. I would’ve swallowed ALL my blood pressure pills instead of spitting them back out” There is help out there, and I’ve been battling depression not long after I turned 10 and saw my dad almost take his own life. I lost my grandpa January 6th, 2023 after a 2 1/2 year battle of cancer, and other than my parents, I felt like I could tell him anything. Just hours before he took his last breath, I whispered into his ear, “It’s okay to go to heaven grandpa, you don’t half to fight anymore. We will miss you, but we’ll be okay.” After he took his last breath, (even though it might sound bad) I felt like I could take a deep breath knowing he isn’t in pain anymore. I think of my grandpa every day, I have a necklace with the picture that’s my google picture, and it hasn’t come off yet. There is help out there for everyone, and you don’t need to go through it alone. Please find that one person you can reach out to.
I struggle with clinical depression and suicidal ideation, and have since I was six years old. Thank you for this song, and for trying to reach out to people (especially kids) who are suffering and who need to know they're not alone. As someone who has attempted to take her own life more than once (came within minutes of succeeding more than once), it's not always about just being depressed. Sometimes, there's such a panic behind it -- the need to escape something horrible, when the people everyone says should love you and care will do nothing to help you, and all your attempts to get help keep falling on deaf ears. We need to start being there for each other, start really listening and not finding excuses to tune out or judge others when they're struggling. Also, for whoever made the video... you might reconsider that final quote from Christopher Reeve. The last sentence of it is NOT helpful for someone considering hurting themselves. That's victim-blaming. Please don't do that.
What a beautiful son I Lost my oldest son in July though depression and I Lost myself now but I know he's gone to a better place where he doesn't have to be sad anymore he was diagnosed when he was 17 and passed away at 37 we played this beautiful song at his funeral as for me I've got to stay strong for my beautiful little grandsons who's been asking about their father who they haven't seen in 9 years I love them so much but my thoughts of losing him and not knowing how just keeps me looking and searching for answers God Bless All who have lost family members 💔🙏❤️🌼🌸🌺🌹🥀🌷💐♥️

Such a sad life, mixed with brilliance and brief moments of joy..Wish I could have done more for you mom, love you! My best friend also took his life years ago, beautiful souls... If you are struggling, please ask for help! I'm trying to continue to see beauty and live the way I choose for them!!!!
Came across this song after losing a friend of mine. It hits a lot different now that I'm older...and when I've lost a friend as close as the one i lost. There is help out there for you. I promise. You're not a lone. You are loved and wanted.
I have personally gone through crippling depression and suicidal thoughts, even partially attempted suicide that i could never pull through with. When i heard this song last night, it was like a kick to the stomach. It was so hard not to bust up crying in front of my sister. She had wanted to skip the song but something made me tell her to let it play. Every memory from august 2016 to march 2019 played over and over in my head, and then my thoughts turned to my best friends, all of which have dealt with some form of depression or anxiety. And thats when i got truly scared. It was in that moment, when my thoughts turned from my past, to my best friends that i decided i wouldnt let them go another second of not knowing how much they mean to me. They brought me back from a shell of my former self, and filled me with love, kindness, happiness and peace; all of which i had almost forgotten how it felt to feel. I am forever grateful for those 5 people and 1 former friend for bringing light back into my life. I can see true colors again, i can cry happy tears again, i can be *me* again.
I cried because I have had suicidal thoughts through out middle school. I lost a friend to suicide almost 2 years ago. I tried killing my self but didn't go through with it cause I thought about my family and friends. I thought about my future and my future kids. I cleaned up my wrists and told my parents. They help me everyday. If you are considering suicide, please don't do it. It's not worth it. Suicide doesn't take the pain away, it passes on to everyone else who care and love you.
@@treycreamer3085 Please don't do any harm to yourself, there's a Rainbow at the end of a Storm, you could have some wonderful days and adventures yet to be, but if you give up you'll never know how Great Life can be, enjoy the simple things and nature, birds and trees, the clouds in the sky, things will look up❤️🙏😇 Hang in there Buddy 🙋
Oh dammit Gibby. You were one of us. I had hoped that was enough. The moment I heard I began to doubt that we had done enough to help you, but now I understand that we were enough to keep you going, and to give you the strength you needed to fight a little longer. Thank you for the years we got to know you. 43! Long Live the fu**ing King! 🍺
Sometimes I feel like life is not worth going through this depression is really getting to me when I listen to this song it helps it's hard to hang on when you have nobody in your life
Some people take their lives because they have suffered for too long, or, they can't envision a time when the suffering ends. For these folks, words like 'this too shall pass', 'time heals all wounds', etc, do nothing for them. Platitudes don't work. Life does get overwhelming for some of us. I wonder when will I snap.
So true, I'm disabled and live every day in debilitating pain. I'm unable to take antidepressants for medical reasons and I've tried other treatments. its only gotten worse. i don't know how long I can hold strong when I just get sicker and sicker.
You know at least you know that that stuff don't work seriously when I have depression it will be over soon don't cross my mind bc when they say that I'm like when it's taking it precious time to get here bc I don't wanna suffer anymore then they say I don't know when only God knows and I be like 😒 seriously God just want to see me suffer
I'm so sorry for your loss. My nephew Thomas Roy Kilpatrick II was a proud soldier who also took his life 1 year ago tomorrow. It is definitely not a club anyone wants to join and my heart breaks daily but it does help my pain knowing that there are so many organizations popping up to bring veteran suicide to the publics attention and giving this issue the acknowledgement it should've been given years ago. With organizations like Mission 22 and Objective Zero I pray that with their help and education no other family will have to endure the pain my family, your family, and hundreds of others every year have gone through and continue to go through daily. There is help and lifting the shameful veil of depression showing our soldiers that it is ok to be sad and to cry it doesn't make you any less of a man or less of an American soldier is a step in the right direction. I wish I had known there were resources available to help when I spent months attempting to talk my nephew out of suicide. He said he didn't need a counselor he had me and always felt better but unfortunately me and my lack of education and resources to deal with such a task wasn't enough. Education is key! God bless ALL of our soldiers and their families here and waiting on the other side without them there would be no us!
Thank you for recognizing suicide and depression. It is a sad ordeal. I myself have made many attempts starting at the age of 11. No one understands, but one thing I would like for everyone to understand, it's not anyone's fault, it's a real, crippling disease. Again it's no one's fault! Thanks again 😢☺️
I come to this song when im in a deep state of depression. So i can cry. And just keep crying til there's nothing left for me to cry. So my family wont be asking "why"
Death is not a solution, but peace, for yourself. I understood this and well accepted all the things happened with me and tried to move on from depression.
In honor of Suicide Awareness Day, I think about those we lost. I haven't lost anyone personally to suicide, and I pray I never will. I think about the struggles I've faced, and the thoughts I've had. However, I also think about the hope I have received through my friends and family, the opportunities I've had, the songs I've sung, the songs I've listened to (including this one). Life is still really, really hard, but I'm still here because of the realization of who I am.
You lost two people, and one attempted three times? (Not judging, just confused on the wording) I'm really sorry. I also pray it's not real, but we will never fully understand why these came to be. But I'm sure that they will be seen again. Everything will be ok. I'm here, and everyone on RU-vid is here. :)
They say suicide is a selfish! Though it is not, it's was what we had to do to end the pain. There are many times I wished I was not found when I overdosed. I'm now almost 1 year sober and I fight everyday. Please don't give up my loves. Keep fighting!
I've had my share of thinking of doing it many times over the years but you have prevented me to do so. I keep thinking if you were still here, I am the one that would be where you are, but the pain we felt after you left is unbearable. I wouldn't want our family to go through the same thing again. And my kids were so young that I didn't know what would happen to them if I were to leave. So, I'm still here, dealing with many struggles but I take them one day at a time. I'll see you again, but only when my time is up. We love and miss you Paul. Every day. 😥💔 03.10.67 - 08. 02 93 💗💗💗
I lost my son july 23 2020 to suicide. And i ask this every day. I am hoping this song helps me heal some way. I wish there would have been something i could have said or did to make him stay.
I’m sorry for your loss I feel the same way with my best friend I talked to her the night she killed herself and I didn’t get the news tell her mom came to my school the next day and gave me her suicide note
My cousin just took his life this past Thursday. He suffered from a medical issue that no doctor could properly diagnose or fix over the past two years. His funeral was exactly how this song went.....oak trees are swaying, early autumn breeze, sun shining down on my face. Breaks my heart as I dont have a huge family and with him gone it leaves a huge hole. He was an only child so my heart breaks for my aunt and uncle too. 39 years old young. Miss ya Chris.
I lost my husband on 5/3/24 and I keeep asking why. 💔😭 I muss him so much. He died from sepsis from back surgery. God I miss him! Rest in peace my love until we meet again.
You must've a been in a place so dark, couldn't feel the light Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud Now here we are gathered in our little home town This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd Oh why, that's what I keep askin' Was there anything I could have said or done Oh I, had no clue you were masking a troubled soul, God only knows What went wrong, and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old Roundin' third to score that winning run You always played with passion no matter what the game When you took the stage you shined just like the sun Oh why, that's what I keep askin' Was there anything I could have said or done Oh I, had no clue you were masking a troubled soul, God only knows What went wrong, and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song Yeah, yeah, yeah Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze The golden sun is shining on my face The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing This old world really ain't that bad a place Oh why there's no comprehending And who am I to try to judge or explain Oh, but I do have one burning question Who told you life wasn't worth the fight They were wrong They lied And now you're gone And we cried 'Cause It's not like you, to walk away in the middle of a song Your beautiful song Your absolutely beautiful song
