Thank you so much, you beautiful human!!🥰❤️

Thank you, Kino! I look forward to all the wonderful work we will do together.

Thank you, Karen! To reach out to someone who is pain through the power of art to inspire hope and healing is the mission of the Hold On Campaign for Suicide Prevention. It is so fulfilling to know you experienced "My Crying Song for You" to be "beautiful, powerful, authentic" and that it "reaches the soul in a deep way."

Thank you, Kino! The song expresses the overwhelming pain of losing a loved one to suicide and yet at the same time caringly encourages hope for life and love again for that suicide loss survivor. I would like this song to be heard around the world.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, the Hold On Campaign for Suicide Prevention wants to offer "comfort" and give "hope and love" to those in pain. I am so glad you felt "My Crying Song for You" was "beautiful and moving."

Thank you! What you say echoes the immortal words of John Keats, "'Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty.' - that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."

Thank you! Your recognizing it as a "human song" means so much. The song reaches out emotionally and touches the heart even as the lyric says in the midst of such pain no words and melody can make any difference. And yet they do...

Oh! Thank you so very much for what you said as that is what the song hopes to impart. There is no denying the depths of sorrow and yet there is a reality that can honor the pain and also encourage us to live and love again. I agree with you about Brittany, the singer. She has emotion in her voice which makes the song even more powerful and meaningful.

Thank you! To be a "song of healing" is a great thing. Albert Camus said, "There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy." He also said, “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger - something better, pushing right back.” I think this great philosopher and author would agree that "It's never too late to be alive again."

Thank you so much, Karen, for your kind words. I so hope "My Crying Song for You" can be widely shared so it can help bring healing to grieving hearts, especially those whose loved one died by suicide.

Thank you, Annabel. Poetry is a language of music and depth of emotion that goes straight to the heart.

Thank you, Shan and Hannah. I am so very glad you found the song to be "very beautiful." I hope the song can bring compassion and hope to those grieving the loss of their loved one who died by suicide. That loss, which can feel excrutiating and unbearable, can increase risk of suicide in the griever. The arts I feel have an important role to play in helping broken hearts to heal.

Thank you Phoenix Rising. It is so meaningful for me to have you say the song is "beautiful." I am glad "My Crying Song for You" touched your heart.

Many thanks to you for "loving" "My Crying Song for You" and finding it "beautiful." On the Hold On Campaign for Suicide Prevention website (www.holdoncampaign.org) it says, "Inspiring Beauty from Darkness." I feel this song through its words, music, and emotion has been able to do just that. It is healing for me just as it is for others.

Thank you, Yvonne. I am so grateful that "My Crying Song for You" in all its words, music, and emotion can be of help to those grieving their lost loved ones.

Thank you, Lucia! And thank you, too, for your beautiful animation of "Pray to Believe," a song that can help save lives.

Thank you, Lisa! The "Let Go" video is being added to the Hold On Campaign for Suicide Prevention website in the Create Resilience section. www.holdoncampaign.org.

Thank you, Starlit. Jodee's poignantly healing poem inspired us all.

Thank you, Lucia, for all your artistic talents in animating Jodee's heartfelt poem in memory of her son.

Thank you! I am so glad you feel that way. Please share the song if you can. It's message carried by Maushalik's "amazing voice" needs to be heard.

Thank you, Lorraine! May you break through walls & bravely open all doors to life & love.

Thank you! I am so very glad "For You My Lovely" touched your heart.

Merci❤️

Thank you so much, Patrick!

@@artsmedicineforhopehealing7882 my pleasure, you deserve it! It's an impressive creation, and a beautiful song

Thank you, Karen. I am so glad the song has touched your heart. "Bringing solace to the heart that is navigating grief and loss" is what "For You My Lovely" is meant to do.

Thank you, Starlit. Lucia's animation truly added to the beauty of the song.

To give comfort within the deep sadness of loss is the desire of "For You My Lovely." I am so very glad, Starlit, the song moves you this way.

Thank you, Lucia, for your beautiful animation of "For You My Lovely."

I am so very glad "Lift You Up" is helping you through "a hard time." That's exactly what I hoped the song could do. Please also see www.holdoncampaign.org which is all about the power of art to connect, express, and heal. I have three more songs inspired by my poems to lyrics, "Don't Give Up," "Hold On," and "Holding The Heart When It Breaks" and perhaps they can be of help, too. Warmly, Diane Kaufman, MD

Thank you so much for sharing how "Let Go" impacted you. When I heard Jodee's poem and saw her drawing, I knew it would make for a powerful animation with a heartfelt and healing message.

Jodee, thank you for allowing us the privilege of sharing your poem and drawing, I know "Let Go" will touch the hearts of so many others.

That means the world to us! Wishing you all the best

Thank you, Lucia, for your wonderful animation of Jodee's heartfelt "Let Go" poem and drawing. The Hold On Campaign for Suicide Prevention sincerely believes the "Let Go" poem animation offers hope and healing for many who have experienced extreme loss.

Thank you, Jill. I am so very glad "Hold On" touched you so deeply. If we can just help a person to "hold on" even in the midst of emotional pain, knowing that feelings do pass, and the intense despair of that pain can lift, lives can be saved.

Thank you, Starlit. As philosopher Blaise Pascal said, "The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing."

Thank you, Shan, for your empathic singer-songwriter artistry in transforming my poem to such a powerful and meaningful song.

There is plenty that is "evil" in this world and it can be a real struggle to find any point in living. Sometimes, I find, it can help to do whatever I can to bring some "love" into the world - not love as a feeling but love as an action - no matter how small or insignificant that may be - so the balance of evil and good turns towards more to the good. Everyday is suicide prevention day. Please take care of yourself and may you grow ever stronger in your love.

Thank you so much, and may YHWH bless you and yours as well...

Thank you so much Pasha Pernell. "Lift You Up" is meant to offer understanding, and to inspire and empower us to ask for help when help is what we need. Love is its healing message.
