Catherine Ball I’m so sorry can I ask how he passed away at such a young age😞 this song means a lot to me my first ever love left me it hurt and I know I will never get over it💔
@@00Panda2 I’m so sorry how long ago was that💔 the guy this song is about I know I should have never been with but dang I was so lonely now he only calls or texts when he wants something but I still jump I have to stop that he was very cruel and evil to me but I wanted and needed the attention
You absolutely can...he's not a ghost....you can't feel a "ghost". You feel the forever love that you shared with them and that NEVER goes away. Even when you "move on"....it's still there and doesn't make it any less for the person you miss or for the person that can physically hold you now. Hugs to you my dear. Don't let anyone EVER tell YOU how YOU are supposed to feel or live.
He isn't a ghost. Our spouses will always be a part of us and live in our hearts forever.. Moving forward and figuring out how all the pieces fit together is a battle. When people say get over it...it makes me furious, they have no clue....and hope they never have to find out.
It's about to be a year on Christmas that I last saw and held and looked into my fiance's eyes....I find myself just trying to breathe. I am so lost and confused. It hurts more than idk what. I will never be the same.
Believe me she’s gotten her recognition and still does. She’s was all the rage in the late 90s and early 2000s. Leann Rimes is one of the best female country singers EVER! From the first time I’ve ever heard her songs till today I’m still in love with her and her music!
My husband just passed away November 13th. I'm completely devastated. This song has always been a favorite but now it has so much more meaning to it. I miss him so very much. It was so sudden and unexpected.
@@debyhuddleston4841 please be gentle with yourself. Please take it second by second. Hour by hour. Day by day. And don’t worry if you’re numb for a little while. That’s God’s way of giving us a break from emotions. The numbness will wear off. When it does, remember to breathe. My numbness lasted for 8o days. Day 81….
LeAnn Rimes is the prime example of a great singer that was miss managed in the early part of her career. One of the best voices of this generation and wasted.
I lost my oldest son when he was barely 17. There is not one second of one day that I don't think of him. That I don't miss him with every piece of my heart. I still talk to him after all these years. And my heart is still broken. He was my son and my best friend. I miss you so much, Dylon.
I'm sorry for your loss. I just came to say that I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks of somebody other then a significant other with this song. Every time I hear it I cry with my twin on my mind.
What a beautiful song. I don't know why, but this song makes me think of my beautiful wife. We were together for 51 years but she passed away two years ago. We will be together again some day honey, and then it will be forever. I will love you to the end of time. Thank you for such a great song LeAnn........
God bless you mr Kenneth, your love is true love,god bless you and your family always, your honey is very blessed to have such a wonderful person like you in her life
This song is one of the saddest I have ever heard. I lost a husband to suicide and 3 children to health problems. God be with all of you that have lost loved ones.
i lost my 2 brothers & dad to heart probs.cancer mil ,too many more to name I know the Lord Almighty is there to comfort us & keep us strong but it ages you. You NEVER FORGET You just live each day step breath minute
this song still makes me cry 9 years later,the first time I heard it my son was listening to it in his room after his mother died,those were rough times for us
+Chris Cranford - yes I can understand his pain..i see therapy is a positive thing..i decied to leave the work world to deal with my greifing..so much hurt and pain their I couldn't handle..their were days I was asking god why am I here? why am I even here? for what? but he didn't give me the answer right away..i was on anti-depressents that made me really just numb out and I was sleeping a lot, not doing much eating..my family saw I was spirling out of control and didn't understand it..they said you need to move on from her she wasn't a good mother to you ,.she wasn't their for you when you needed her..the last 4 months I had with my mom were amazing she said sorry for all she did to all of us..so don't give up on your son..just hold him and love him and be their for him as best as you can.
One of my favorite songs of hers. My first love passed away from a car accident at 24 years old. This song came out shortly after. I would play the song over and over again as it expressed so much of what I was feeling.
My husband died almost 10 months ago. It feels like yesterday. My best friend. My family doesn't understand I can't move on.I still feel him so strong. I still fell him here everyday. God help me.
Fortunately you are not on anyone's time schedule but your own. Some things are so tragic you have to it seep in slowly...to accept it totally at one time would maybe be fatal. If your family wants to help ...they should give you some space...occasionally bring you food and beverages. Help you shower and dress in comfortable clothes and allow you to either rest in bed or on a sofa so you can lie down. You will know when you feel strong enough to do a few things..My recomenndation is to let go and let God....just turn it over. And as soon as you are strong enough...get yourself to a mental health specialist. Grief is a killer and you can be lost it that black vortex of depression and get deeply that you see no way out. Just do you and ask for help. I truly believe that some people can love so deeply that it is almost impossible to deal. I bet the one you loved so deeply would be devastated to know your state. So please take some advice...go at your pace ...rest and restore. God Bless.
It’s 2023 this song is not getting old I never get tired to play even for how many years or decade will passed such a great masterpiece during my childhood days ❤
November 17, 2000 my husband died. I was in my mid 20’s with two children. Three months after he died, our son age three was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Now this June our son is with his father in Heaven. I lost him now and all I have left is my daughter and two beautiful grandchildren. Not a single day goes by that I don’t think about him. Yes, I moved on, but never will I ever forget. This song I had never heard until years after he died and what’s weird is I remarried four years later to a pastor. The lyrics remind me so much of what I went through.
This song touched my heart so much, I lost my husband then I lost my 26 year old son two years later I listened to this over and over because this is just the way I feel
My husband died 3 years ago this November 17th. He left behind me and his son. I still miss him and always will. I have since moved on. But that doesn't mean I don't miss him any less.
You have my sympathies and empathies. My late husband passed away unexpectedly, in his sleep beside me, 3 years ago on October 29. I have been working on moving forward and living life to the fullest, per his request. However I still think of him everyday and hope he found the peace he was looking for. Not a perfect man but good enough for me to love, be in love with and feel his love. Take care ❤!!!
Misty Easley so sorry for you loss. my husband passed on 915/13 In a motorcycle accident. he was my one true love. I thought I had moved on but it turns out, I haven't. I feel your pain. again I'm sorry for your loss.
misty easley so sorry for your loss i do feel your pain i lost my wife and she was my sole mate and one true love and i miss her so much every day of my life its hard to move on they say the pain goes after some time but not my mine , again sorry for your loss ,
Sweetie I know what you are going though my husband died in Aug of 2005 n left behind me our son and daughter. This song makes me think of him n I still cry, I wish I could tell you it gets easier but i would be lying! Bit by prayers go out to you n your son god bless you!!
My wife has been my friend since were were teens so I understand what love is and a soul helper. I studied and worked in Psychology for 26 years and I have learned so much about humans but so little about loss.Then I had a major tragedy and lost my cousin Melanie in a fiery crash.My boss sent me to a Police Medium that helps them.I was confused because most of them are frauds 99.567 % that just want your money.I learned everything about the accident and had closure that was healing and my father who died in 2002 showed up and my brothers dog raggs ? I learned were all these dimes our family gets all the time are coming from JARS OF THEM ! and I learned that grief and pain comes from a loss of connection.I sit alone and talk my dads ear off at home or in the car we go for rides and they like that.I learned that the relationship is NOT over it has just changed through a transition.......my dads words.So sit and talk away and they are there listening and smiling and they will help you were they can.My dad and I have a continuing relationship that grows in a deeper love then when he was here.
The first time I heard this song was at Country Fest is St Helens, Oregon like 15 years ago. I will never forget the feeling I had.. She got very personal on this one 💜 I remember it was so hot that day and the 🌞 was finally starting to go down, the wind blowing her hair just perfectly (goosebumps) as she's sitting up on this giant stage with just a bar stool and her microphone.. No glitz or glam or bright lights, just her! And this song 💜 That was probably the closest I've ever seen to an angel on Earth. She just let us have it! Her voice still echoes in my mind to this day. I haven't been the same since
I think its better to of never loved at all. The devastation, and the grief from a loss is unspeakable. It will absolutely shatter you inside.. . Heart, soul, spirit- every ounce of your being is pain. I wouldn't wish it on anybody. No one. ...... and so. I pick never. 🥺💔. Love that is that special, hurts way too bad to lose.
June 30, 2013 I lost the best man that I have ever had the privilege to know and love. Born into a family of wealth and privilege, yet he spent his adult life giving back to orhers, first in the military then as a doctor volunteering in third world countries. He had a heart of gold and heaven may have gained an angel, but earth definitely lost one the day he was called home. RIP Kacey, you're still in my heart and i swear with everything i am i will never forget you.
I'll never forget May 29, 2008 I was getting my hair done... Once I was done I pulled my phone from my purse to see I had 68 missed calls. The phone rang again I answered with a what the hell is going on! It was the news he was gone. I think for the next 3 months I layed in bed and listen to this song. I haven't listened to it since the day I was pulled out of bed and forced to face the world again. Now almost 7 years later I'm listening to it with a huge smile, tears of both sorrow and joy remembering some super special times. I absolutely love this song!!!
hi so glad you doing better now , 7 yrs on i have only just able to listen to this song again still makes me cry , tears of sadness but remember the good times we had still hearts like hell , but like you love this song now
Jesus Christ I’m an atheist and these comments still hit too true. I don’t want or need to be saved. That’s not the point. I just appreciate every day I get to be in her life all the more. Thank you for making this song a reality.
My wife died shortly after I got back from Iraq and were married on my 2 week leave from there. I still love and miss her. I use to constantly listen to this to ease the pain. Then I haven't listened to this since. She died the summer of 2007 and not a day goes by I don't think of her. God bless this song.
Gosh, I read these storys over and over and they break my heart. I wanted to thank you for your service, your courage and your loyality to our country. But what saddens me is you made it through a place where people die everyday for because the believe its for the greater good of islam, im dont believe its only that, its about their anger and hate that passes down through generation to generation. The agenda for Tyranny is more prevalent then it ever has before so thats frightening. So its difficult to fathom youve been through hell and your only hope for survival was your wife waiting for you at home, im sure many other reasons played a part in you staying strong but a loved one gives us strength while we suffer seeing and living through so much distain. I am truly sorry for your loss it seems so unfair, such a betrayal as if heavens above made a great mistake or the better of all is God needed her and shes your Angel guiding through your hardship and helping you find your happiness again. Shell never be gone sir. She is alive within that heart she loved passionately.
This song reminds me of my fiancé that died in February. It kills me but somehow this song helped me a lot. We haven’t even had his funeral yet. It helped me cry and get it out of me. Rip Jesse.
Country songs that have brought me to the brink of tears: 1. Letters From Home - John Michael Montgomery 2. The Little Girl - also John Michael Montgomery 3. Travelin' Soldier - Dixie Chicks 4. If You're Reading This - Tim McGraw 5. Who You'd Be Today - Kenny Chesney 6. Just a Dream - Carrie Underwood 7. Temporary Home - Carrie Underwood 8. Can't Love You Back - Easton Corbin 9. this one
this reminds me of my mother...my mother was a sever alcoholic..i choose not to speak to her for 3 yrs and then for some reason god told me to break the silence and go see her ..I did and she was so happy to see me and cried for joy..she had deminita really bad so she would forget to drink..and she was a totally different person she was so sweet and so funny and so everyday I would talk to her on the phone and spend days with her..then 5 days after my birthday god decided to take her home..god was their to tell me that she not going to be here anymore and you need to spend time with her she dying..i feel so blessed and so greatful for the 4 months that I got with her but I did go through a really really rough mourning period I wouldn't do anything I kept her ashes for 3 years before I decided to let them go..it was hard to wake up every morning to go to work to know she was gone..but I know she would tell me to go ..after she passed she did come to me in a dream to tell she made it ok and is very happy where she is and thanked me for everything. that was the hardest dream ever because I knew it was really here saying her final goodbye to me..i ended up in therapy it totally just turned my world upside down..i was angry for her not staying sober and straight we tried for so many years to save her and she didn't want to be saved..i would talk to her everyday after I got her ashes and just scream and cry for a long time ..it was a way for me to deal with her death I was soooo angry and mad that she wasn't here..i have my days still after 3 years being goine where I think of her and just strat loolsing it I miss her some much but I keep telling myself she in a way better place because if she was down here she be the same nothen would change..
+sparrow Helm if she believed in Jesus~~~~all in well. Some times i think when Christians mess up big time God says "m tired of you dragging my name through the mud, 'you're coming home. which is far better than this life.
I lost my husband, our girls Daddy and my friend. What other people have said is soooo true....as time goes on, you do think of them less but the pain and loliness never fades. Our girls were only 4 and 13, I was only 31 and he turned 34 two weeks before he passed from Cancer.
I lost my stepdad two years ago. A man who had been in my life since I was five years old. I went to a very dark place. I wasn't eating properly, I couldn't sleep without having a drink, and I just couldn't smile anymore. Thankfully everyone in my life got me out of it. Even now it still hurts and sometimes the pain gets so bad I still have to cry it out, and I've just accepted that I might never stop crying over him, but the frequency I cry is a lot less than before. Like she says, "I just take it day by day."
Reminds me of my sweetheart. 7 yrs later I'm still daydreaming of his smile. Where has the time gone. Lord plz help me move on. Living in the past is breaking my heart daily 💔
Its not that your living in the past dear your living yet who you love or loved stays with us even when we move on. What hurts more is they moved on without us, thats painf
I listen to this song often and always at this time of year as we come up on the 13th anniversary of my husband's death. We had 17 years together college sweethearts and share 2 amazing children. Live has certainly been a roller-coaster but each year a keep getting a little stronger. I can relate to the life of this woman the song is about.
Such a beautiful voice and beautiful song. Perfect song since today was another rough day. I'm missing the love of my life so much. My baby...my future husband. We knew we weren't each other's first but wanted to be each other's last. He committed suicide 4 months ago and I'm so broken. I talk to him... some might think I'm crazy...I guess I'll have to see. I love you and miss you...more baby!
BIG HUG what a dreadful loss for you. Any idea why he felt he couldn't stay with us any longer? Or was it out of the blue. CJ x Melbourne Victoria Australia STRAYA Southern HEMISPHERE
He battled a life long struggle of depression and anxiety. He was abused as a child and married a woman just like her. He couldn't get passed it all and never felt like he deserved love nor to be happy. Being happy with me, he felt a guilt... didn't know how to handle the live ashe felt he didn't deserve it. I'll NEVER fully understand...I didn't get to say goodbye.😢
I completely understand your pain. I lost mine 7 years ago in June. Our daughter will be 8 in August. It never gets easier. I've never related to a song so much.
The words say it all. If I'd never seen his face, I probably wouldn't be this way. Its been a year, and the silence is deafening. I mis his touch, his whisper, his arms. God give me a moment's grace...
I listen to this song when I need a good cry. I'll never forget that knock on the door as long as I live. "We're sorry to tell you...." There should be a better way to tell someone I loved Kenneth he was my world and it was just over like that
yes this song says so much and it was our song as well my wife died of the dreaded cancer that took her from me so early in life , it does not matter how many times you hear it , just remember the good times it brings to mind ,
I am not a country fan by any means and I think LeAnn Rimes is a nut, but this song made me cry the first time I heard it. It describes deep grief and the shock that you're in for months and months afterwards perfectly. The way she just sits numbly and weeps throughout the video makes it even more poignant. I wish I had had someone who loved me that much.
You failed to complete the compliment sandwich. It's, compliment, bad news, compliment. But I see your point. Neither her music nor country is for everyone. I've always loved her voice.
I lost my husband of just 2 momths. He was my entire world. He's been gone almost 3 years now. I mourn him daily but I have to keep the pain buried so deep within me for the kids. Sometimes it feels like a burn that's going to consume me.
This song isn't always about the dead leaving you but the people that you love with all your heart and soul leaving you with the heart wrenching pain and soul breaking pain in more ways more than anyone could understand and the impact of the love you all shared left on your heart and soul and wishing your love was enough to save them from there own self hatred but no matter what you love them with everything you have, no matter the pain it causes you because that love is worth the pain and heartache. You convince yourself that your love for them will save them and the heartache is worth the pain for them to realize your love for each other is real. It's something that will always last a lifetime no matter what and all you can do is pray they realize they are worth the love you pour into them. But usually it always ends in heartache whether it's a love that slowly dies or a love that slowly kills you mind, body and soul. But no matter what that love never goes away....
Missing you every single second of every single day... til my last breath. Our boy is a spitting image of you. I see you in him every day. It’s bittersweet really. I know you would be so proud. I pray your soul is resting in peace my love. As for mine.. it died the moment your heart stopped beating. Forever Yours xoxo Love Always, your girl. RIP Adam Neal Tipton 1/25/76 - 2/16/09
People tell me all the time i should just move on. I have. But I haven't forgotten and it hurts the same today as the day I lost him. That will never change. Once you love someone you never stop loving them. And time heals no wounds, you just learn to live with the pain
Life can have the worst memories with the best person you ever knew in your life. You wake up above the dirt everyday and given the choice by God to make it better. You will never forget but get the chance to make it better.
Sigh...... My husband has cancer & he always talks about when he's gone & our last kiss together it makes me cry so much & i love him more then the moon loves the night sky.. Our son is too young to know what's going on but I'm really scared...
Harley Nicolette I am so incredibly sorry for all that you are going through. I don't know if you are religious or not but I want to share a scripture with that is comforting, John 5:28,29- ....a time is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will hear the voice of Jesus Christ, the son of the only true God Jehovah, to come out.... Jehovah God will give Jesus Christ his only begotten son the authority to raise the dead.
Reminds me of my sister and her beloved husband. I miss him so much! I never knew love like they had. 35 years of love, honesty, and so true love. I wish I had been so blessed
I lost the man I had loved for so many years. We never could have been together. He died 24 years ago. Grieving takes a long time and you never really get over it. But you do move on and realize that God has something for you that will help. My help came from the cat I decided to adopt. She was, somehow, keenly aware when my thoughts/moods drifted into depressing and dangerous areas and would warn me when I was going towards places outside that had been happy, but were no longer. With her, and now, my new cat, I am going on. Life is better now for me.
From 2007, so understand how the writer felt. Thankful they were able to put words down. Very eloquently put. Now in 2024- My fiancé passed with a heart attack in 2012 at 53 from coming back from Iraq. It’s easier now 12 years later but still find it hard to date. So I don’t anymore.
I dedicate this for all the women and men who lost a loved one fighting for our country. Their beautiful feathers brushing against your skin as they wrap you into their arms, they are your guiding angels.
I've not thanked you for this song, for this video. I watched it over and over that fall of 2012 after Aric died. The shot woke me around five in the morning. I held him in my arms until EMT arrived. His leaving was fast. So horribly fast. After five weeks in a mental hospital I had to find a way to survive, to keep moving onward. I'd promised my son I wouldn't follow my beloved to wherever it was he was. I sought out movies and songs about death. This song of yours, this was my anthem. I'd play it, feel every lyric, nod at every image, and sob like I was about to tear in two. Right up to that last line about the date, which I've not yet done. Seven and a half years, but I can't. Not yet. I probably wouldn't be this way, true. But I know how blessed I am to love this much. To've been loved so very much. Thanks, Leann. Thanks for so beautifully singing my anthem.
[Verse 1] Got a date a week from Friday With the preacher's son Everybody says he's crazy I'll have to see I finally moved to Jackson When the summer came I won't have to pay that boy to rake my leaves I'm probably going on and on It seems I'm doing more of that these days [Chorus] I probably wouldn't be this way I probably wouldn't hurt so bad I never pictured every minute without you in it Oh, you left so fast Sometimes I see you standing there Sometimes it's like I'm losing touch Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky To have had the chance to love this much God gave me a moment's grace Cause if I'd never seen your face I probably wouldn't be this way [Verse 2] Mama says that I just shouldn't speak to you Susan says that I should just move on You oughta see the way these people look at me When they see me 'round here talking to this stone Everybody thinks I've lost my mind But I just take it day by day [Chorus] I probably wouldn't be this way I probably wouldn't hurt so bad I never pictured every minute without you in it Oh, you left so fast Sometimes I see you standing there Sometimes it's like I'm losing touch Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky To have had the chance to love this much God gave me a moment's grace Cause if I'd never seen your face I probably wouldn't be this way Probably wouldn't be this way [Outro] Got a date a week from Friday With the preacher's son Everybody says I'm crazy Guess I'll have to see
when I rad what you wrote kristine it reminded me of a similar situation. Losing somebody you love in life or death leaves you on your knees, rolled up in a ball, hiding from the world. yet when the first person you go to see for spiritual healing is above you honey. I know without God he is who gives me a moments grace
ur so welcome i can only imagine what u live with day to day but threw god things will always end up happy in end may u be reunited with ur children one day
I listen to this song. The love of my life left me 2 weeks before our 6 year anniversary. I think about him all the time and tell him I will always love him. He was my world. I miss him so much. God needed him more and had a plan in place. Part of me left when he died. I had our life planned out,but it did not work out the way I planned.
This song resonates with me now. I lost my boyfriend on December 16th due to a seizure. He was waiting for me in the car while I was in a doctor appointment and I found him slumped over face down in the driver's seat. An ambulance was called and EMT's tried to revive him, but they couldn't save him. I feel like it was my fault because I was the one who usually took care of him during his seizures (he had a traumatic brain injury due to a car crash when he was 17). I know it's not my fault, but I feel responsible anyway. He couldn't go into my appointment with me because of Covid restrictions. We were only together 4 years. I'm heartbroken :'(. He was my favorite person. My heart. My reason to smile. My life. My home. I'm so scared and overwhelmed!
This song is both hauntingly beautiful and terrifyingly sad at the same time. LeAnn Rimes is unbelievably talented, her performance in this video feels so real and heartfelt. And the vocals, good Lord....
My Fiance was taken from me the day we got engaged and it has been 20 years and I still see him everywhere I look. He was truly the love of my life. As he was dying he told me that he wanted me to be happy and that he loved me more than life and he would be by my side till my last days. I miss him with every breath I take and I feel him all the time and know he is by my side. The pain never goes away but in time it lessens a little more. I know I will never love someone the way him and I loved but I finally married 3 years ago and he reminds me sometimes of Mike. He will tell me sometimes that I call him Mike in my sleep and he lets me talk about him. So maybe this is part of my healing process. There is no timeline for getting over your grief, just take it day to day.
💐💖💙😓 My heart goes to you. Xxx my husband of four years, took his life in 2016. "Sometimes it's like I'm losing touch, I'm lucky to have loved this much" xoxo 100% truth
This song really hurts. I picture it in a different way because it reminds me of my 4 angel babies that were never buried, they flew away before they had the chance to see this world. But because of the abusive relationship I was in, God removed my children from this world of knowing that the man I was with didn't want them.....however he blessed me with my best friend of 21yrs to love me the way God intended and he cries some nights wishing those kids were his. He says regardless that he has 4 kids not just 1. Thankyou Jesus, for giving me the chance to love again.
Life is to short love the ones you love even more keep them close don’t ever let hard feelings stand in the way love and forgive you never know when it’ll be our last day
When I read all these comments it brings reality just a bit closer of hard it is to lose someone you love. My heart goes out to those of you who lost your loved one without warning for that does not give you time to prepare yourself or say goodbye in the way you had hoped. So I feel for you and your suffering and pray that you have either come to terms with your loss and pain or are at least beginning to. Death is and will always be a traumatic thing to go through when it's someone close to you. A Mother or Father, Sister or Brother, a Friend, a Lover, a Husband or wife. And most of all a child. Grief has no expiration date. In 2014 my husband of more than 30 years was diagnosed with several forms of Cancer...he fought a valiant battle against this horrific disease that still has no cure after so much research and funds spent to help control or cure the disease. My daughter and I had to watch as he (once a strong and active man) faded into a shell of his former self and slipped away from us on January 14, 2015. We had 6 months with him after he was diagnosed. My daughter and I wee blessed at least to be with him while he passed, I held him in my arms as he slipped away. There is nothing harder than that. One one hand you are in such grief and on the other relieved that their pain and suffering has ended. His beautiful soul just drifted away that day. 2014 was one of the hardest years I've ever had as death seemed to knock on many doors... My father in law passed from complications of Heart and Kidney Disease the July prior to my husband so my Mother in law was hit hard. I lost 2 Sister in laws (one to Cancer and the other to an accidental drug overdose)and a nephew to suicide. And if that weren't enough, I also lost a dear friend to Cancer 4 months after my husband passed away. It all but killed me inside. Within 1 year 6 people that I loved dearly died and I thought I'd lose my mind with grief. Without my daughter's love and support through it all, I may have laid down and given in to my grief. Several months prior to my husbands diagnosed I came across this beautiful song and it made me cry jut thinking about how I'd feel if I lost my Best friend, lover and the father of my children. He and I met when I was only 14 and he was 18. We became fast friends and hung out a lot going to the movies, out to eat with friends and just getting to know each other. Within 2 years we fell in love and became inseparable. Then came the day that he asked my parents if he could marry me and of course they said no... I was too young. So 2 more years after that we got married and stayed together until his dying day. He was my Prince, my Knight in shining armour. He was my protector and teacher...and so so much more. I miss him every single day and do all I can to cope with his loss.Without the few people in my life that make it bearable I would have had no reason to stay. But my life is better now and I am grateful and so blessed for the time I had him in my life...as I am for all those lost to me that year. I pray for their peace and God's Grace and Mercy each day. My love for them will never die. God bless all of you who have suffered great losses in your lives. May you find the peace promised by God in knowing they are together with their creator and are happy and joyful as they watch over us all waiting for our day to arrive so they can welcome us home. Amen.
Grief is a long process & only she knows when it's time for her to move on...be there for her but don't try to go through this with her...it's her loss
Some songs are just there and have a huge meaning for some people... they are full of pain, joy and memories. I have a painful memory to this song too... and I still love it. With all those sad country songs I know, this one is the top!!! And LeAnn´s video is really heartbreaking and wonderful.
This song will always remind me of my Aunt who passed in 2005. I would sit in her condo while caring for her three cats while she fought for her life in the hospital. It was such a dark and sad time. It was the first time I heard this song and though it was hauntingly beautiful. 😰
This song touches my heart with its poignant lyrics and melody! Imagine loving someone that much and losing them. Most people never find a love that deep or a true soul mate. Sometimes when they do find their true love, it is too late because the object of their affections is already taken.
It literally tore my soul apart losing my first/true love. We were together for 4 years. He was killed when he was 20 and I was 21 and a few weeks after burying him I found out I was pregnant with his baby and I can say having a piece of him left with me has mended my heart a good bit. Not completely but just enough. Our daughter looks just like her daddy to a T and sometimes it hurts looking at her bc I miss her daddy more than anything but god knew what he was doing leaving a piece of him with me. I needed that.
I lost my fiancé a little over four months ago. My heart feels like it’s trying to escape my body. With every beat the crack gets bigger but I still feel bless to have been loved by and to love him.
In 2 weeks it will be 11 years since my husband died 10-14-07 This song touches me so deeply because we were lucky enough to have had "the real thing" although he was taken too soon at 33. Luckily I have our children to remind me of him and 17 years of memories. But I'll Never be Ok. I moved on or tried, but so far nobody comes close in comparison and I refuse to settle. This song always brings tears to me eyes.
What is sadder than having to acknowledge the soldiers that died in service..and sometimes they do ....but mostly we forget to acknowledge the ones waiting for them at home that they never come home too....what about them...the ones that were expecting them home..encouraging to fulfill their desire..and thinking the will do and come home....and don't...who thinks of them? That is what this song make me think of...For all the wives that sent their husbands out thinking they were going to come back ...and didn't...You deserve a medal of honor too....because you still have to continue on...So this song is for you
That is a unfortunate truth that many people forget. We as soliders wives and husbands wait patiently with loyality as they go through a living hell. We feel a pain we hardly can express let alone write down for if we express the fear that lives inside of us, if we dont stand tall, proudly and with courage we are a reflection of our spouse so when we dont hear from them for weeks we go through our own hell of course ee dont fsre say our fear or pain is more or less then theirs yet truth be told we wait if fear everyday for two men to knock on our door or a letter from a friend thst they have died and when they do we go through another hardship for all our fears came true. I wouldnt change what my spouse does or his loyality, hos courage amazes me and im.so thankful he made it home but a solider is always a solider. Here or there. I will pray for all of you that are in wait for their loved one or lost them. God bless
My guy was in the Army and served ever so proudly. He was t boned on the passenger side of the front seat and killed the weekend before he was to take me to the mountains and propose to me. They said he HE WAS NOT let me repeat WAS NOT wearing his seat belt he would have lived but since the seat belt tightend and locked in place he couldn't move so he got crushed by the passenger front seat and console of jeep Cherokee. He was an identical twin. That military funeral was one of the most difficult things I've ever had to face. That song helped me me get to a point where I could actually go thru the stages of grieving.
Omg .same here my Father made me promise no military service for him and I made it my priority to see that his last wish was carried out...So glad someone else feels same way as we did... My Condolences to you Sir ...I truly feel your pain and my heart goes out to you and anyone that sees this message ...🙏❣️
I Accepted Their Free Footstone ! Evidently they must think for all he gave he was worth Only a rock at his feet ...However I had Life Insurance for Burial and I took every penny of it and spent it on his Memorial Service....I Did The Right Thing ...I Kept My Word and Honor ..I Hope He Knows I Am Going To Do The Right Thing again This Time...Let The Angels Watch Over Me.
You never get over a lost Loved one ,as time passes you don't think of them every minute of the day. Having lost 2 children one 18 years old in 1998 Michael Jr.and my only daughter Michelle 32yrs old. I now think of them both at least once or twice a day . It depends on what time of the year also. Never over them just not as new broken Hearts feel. GOD BLESS EVERYONE MAY GOD EASE YOUR PAIN.
Just lost my wonderful husband if nearly 20 years to aggressive gallbladder cancer a month ago tomorrow. I cry when I hear this song now, because I understand. 😭
This song is reminding me of my mom. We lost her last month due to a brain tumor. She was a beautiful and amazing woman and the BEST mother and grandmother. My son is taking it really hard. But she will be with always in our hearts and minds.
I lost my 1st kiss 💋, my 1st love and we were just kids when he died at 13yrs. I'm 52 and still think about that boy. He lives inside my ❤
😥
Catherine Ball I’m so sorry can I ask how he passed away at such a young age😞 this song means a lot to me my first ever love left me it hurt and I know I will never get over it💔
I also relate to this song. The person I chose and who chose me took his life. I think about him every day. 😥
@@00Panda2 I’m so sorry how long ago was that💔 the guy this song is about I know I should have never been with but dang I was so lonely now he only calls or texts when he wants something but I still jump I have to stop that he was very cruel and evil to me but I wanted and needed the attention
Well he has a safe home in such a beautiful heart. Much love to you, and to everyone who's ever lost a dear one 💛
15 years today and everyone says i can't love a ghost the rest of my life. But I can't let go of our life together. I miss him everyday
He would want you to be happy. ❤️
You absolutely can...he's not a ghost....you can't feel a "ghost". You feel the forever love that you shared with them and that NEVER goes away. Even when you "move on"....it's still there and doesn't make it any less for the person you miss or for the person that can physically hold you now. Hugs to you my dear. Don't let anyone EVER tell YOU how YOU are supposed to feel or live.
10 years for me.
He isn't a ghost. Our spouses will always be a part of us and live in our hearts forever.. Moving forward and figuring out how all the pieces fit together is a battle. When people say get over it...it makes me furious, they have no clue....and hope they never have to find out.
It's about to be a year on Christmas that I last saw and held and looked into my fiance's eyes....I find myself just trying to breathe. I am so lost and confused. It hurts more than idk what. I will never be the same.
How does this only have 6 million views after 14 years? It’s one of the greatest songs ever.
She needs more recognition she has a beautiful voice. Her early career was severely mismanaged. Hope she is truly happy.
she's truly has amazing talent
I’m confused more recognition are you on drugs she is the greatest female singer in the last 30 years Martina McBride is her only compilation
She is one of my favorite country artists ever. She's genuinely talented. Her voice is just amazing. One of a kind.
@@joshuafloyd5568 I would have to disagree, Sarah Evans is more relevant then Martina. She hasn't really been in the spotlight since the early 2000's
Believe me she’s gotten her recognition and still does. She’s was all the rage in the late 90s and early 2000s. Leann Rimes is one of the best female country singers EVER! From the first time I’ve ever heard her songs till today I’m still in love with her and her music!
There no one in the industry that can put more emotion into a song than LeAnn Rimes.
My husband just passed away November 13th. I'm completely devastated. This song has always been a favorite but now it has so much more meaning to it. I miss him so very much. It was so sudden and unexpected.
I’m so so sorry for your loss. May he Rest In Peace 💛
I'm so sorry. Mine suddenly passed away 10 months ago. Age 41 and such a blessing to me. It's hard without them. ((Hugs))
Hugs. My husband passed on the 10th
@@debyhuddleston4841 I’m so very sorry for your loss and anyone else’s loss that has had to face this indescribable pain.
@@debyhuddleston4841 please be gentle with yourself. Please take it second by second. Hour by hour. Day by day. And don’t worry if you’re numb for a little while. That’s God’s way of giving us a break from emotions. The numbness will wear off. When it does, remember to breathe. My numbness lasted for 8o days. Day 81….
I'm black and grew up in Harlem in the 80s and I wanna cry every time I hear this shit
Michael Hawkins you're awesome! That put a smile on my face!
Our hearts still break the same...💔💔💔
😂😂why did you preface this comment, with I’m black??
LeAnn Rimes is the prime example of a great singer that was miss managed in the early part of her career. One of the best voices of this generation and wasted.
wasted how? you are listening now arn't you? Are you a worthless? No. That is a silly comment.
I lost my oldest son when he was barely 17. There is not one second of one day that I don't think of him. That I don't miss him with every piece of my heart. I still talk to him after all these years. And my heart is still broken. He was my son and my best friend. I miss you so much, Dylon.
I'm sorry for your loss. I just came to say that I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks of somebody other then a significant other with this song. Every time I hear it I cry with my twin on my mind.
What a beautiful song. I don't know why, but this song makes me think of my beautiful wife. We were together for 51 years but she passed away two years ago. We will be together again some day honey, and then it will be forever. I will love you to the end of time. Thank you for such a great song LeAnn........
God bless you mr Kenneth, your love is true love,god bless you and your family always, your honey is very blessed to have such a wonderful person like you in her life
I'm so sorry for your loss
Love a good old true and real love story Mr. Kenny.. God will grant you both eternal life together soon. Just hang in there.
My goodness your comment made me tear up. I know your wife is just waiting for you and know how much you love and miss her
This song is one of the saddest I have ever heard. I lost a husband to suicide and 3 children to health problems. God be with all of you that have lost loved ones.
I'm so very sorry. May God comfort your heart.
I lost my dearest friend to senseless violence over 30 years ago and it still feels like when I was first told
i lost my 2 brothers & dad to heart probs.cancer mil ,too many more to name I know the Lord Almighty is there to comfort us & keep us strong but it ages you. You NEVER FORGET You just live each day step breath minute
I’m sorry about that sending you my love ❤❤❤!!
I just lost my husband to the same thing 3 months ago. It’s so hard to live without him. It’s like ever moment is in slow motion
this song still makes me cry 9 years later,the first time I heard it my son was listening to it in his room after his mother died,those were rough times for us
My heart goes out to you and your Son...I hope you can heal.
+Chris Cranford turn too JESUS He doesnt need us, but we need him.
+Chris Cranford - yes I can understand his pain..i see therapy is a positive thing..i decied to leave the work world to deal with my greifing..so much hurt and pain their I couldn't handle..their were days I was asking god why am I here? why am I even here? for what? but he didn't give me the answer right away..i was on anti-depressents that made me really just numb out and I was sleeping a lot, not doing much eating..my family saw I was spirling out of control and didn't understand it..they said you need to move on from her she wasn't a good mother to you ,.she wasn't their for you when you needed her..the last 4 months I had with my mom were amazing she said sorry for all she did to all of us..so don't give up on your son..just hold him and love him and be their for him as best as you can.
Chris Cranford oh so 🙏sorry
Chris Cranford 💙💙
One of my favorite songs of hers. My first love passed away from a car accident at 24 years old. This song came out shortly after. I would play the song over and over again as it expressed so much of what I was feeling.
I feel you deeply i lost my sons dad in a car accident when i was pregnant
@@brennafitzpatrick8641My Condolences 💐
My husband died almost 10 months ago. It feels like yesterday. My best friend. My family doesn't understand I can't move on.I still feel him so strong. I still fell him here everyday. God help me.
I completely understand. I lost my husband suddenly 4yrs ago. Hope you are doing a bit better.
God bless you
reba r take your time to heal ❤️
Fortunately you are not on anyone's time schedule but your own. Some things are so tragic you have to it seep in slowly...to accept it totally at one time would maybe be fatal.
If your family wants to help ...they should give you some space...occasionally bring you food and beverages. Help you shower and dress in comfortable clothes and allow you to either rest in bed or on a sofa so you can lie down. You will know when you feel strong enough to do a few things..My recomenndation is to let go and let God....just turn it over. And as soon as you are strong enough...get yourself to a mental health specialist. Grief is a killer and you can be lost it that black vortex of depression and get deeply that you see no way out. Just do you and ask for help. I truly believe that some people can love so deeply that it is almost impossible to deal. I bet the one you loved so deeply would be devastated to know your state. So please take some advice...go at your pace ...rest and restore. God Bless.
I'm sorry 💚
It’s 2023 this song is not getting old I never get tired to play even for how many years or decade will passed such a great masterpiece during my childhood days ❤
If it came on my iPod it was hard to get to the next song
November 17, 2000 my husband died. I was in my mid 20’s with two children. Three months after he died, our son age three was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Now this June our son is with his father in Heaven. I lost him now and all I have left is my daughter and two beautiful grandchildren. Not a single day goes by that I don’t think about him. Yes, I moved on, but never will I ever forget. This song I had never heard until years after he died and what’s weird is I remarried four years later to a pastor. The lyrics remind me so much of what I went through.
It's been 9.5 years since my husband died, moving on isn't easy and nobody could ever even come close to the Love we shared
i feel your pain i lost my wife some time ago to cancer the love we had for each other could never be replaced such a waste of a young life ,
My MIL passed 20 years ago. I come back to this song because she meant so much to me. I miss you JoAnn 😢
The grief never stops. Of losing your soulmate a part of you just keeps dying inside everyday . Time never heals a broken heart..
You’re right. Never. 💔
This song touched my heart so much, I lost my husband then I lost my 26 year old son two years later I listened to this over and over because this is just the way I feel
I'm so sorry. I send you love and peace
💔🙏💐
My husband died 3 years ago this November 17th. He left behind me and his son. I still miss him and always will. I have since moved on. But that doesn't mean I don't miss him any less.
You have my sympathies and empathies. My late husband passed away unexpectedly, in his sleep beside me, 3 years ago on October 29. I have been working on moving forward and living life to the fullest, per his request. However I still think of him everyday and hope he found the peace he was looking for. Not a perfect man but good enough for me to love, be in love with and feel his love. Take care ❤!!!
Misty Easley so sorry for you loss. my husband passed on 915/13 In a motorcycle accident. he was my one true love. I thought I had moved on but it turns out, I haven't. I feel your pain. again I'm sorry for your loss.
misty easley so sorry for your loss i do feel your pain i lost my wife and she was my sole mate and one true love and i miss her so much every day of my life its hard to move on they say the pain goes after some time but not my mine , again sorry for your loss ,
Sweetie I know what you are going though my husband died in Aug of 2005 n left behind me our son and daughter. This song makes me think of him n I still cry, I wish I could tell you it gets easier but i would be lying! Bit by prayers go out to you n your son god bless you!!
My wife has been my friend since were were teens so I understand what love is and a soul helper.
I studied and worked in Psychology for 26 years and I have learned so much about humans but so little about loss.Then I had a major tragedy and lost my cousin Melanie in a fiery crash.My boss sent me to a Police Medium that helps them.I was confused because most of them are frauds 99.567 % that just want your money.I learned everything about the accident and had closure that was healing and my father who died in 2002 showed up and my brothers dog raggs ? I learned were all these dimes our family gets all the time are coming from JARS OF THEM ! and I learned that grief and pain comes from a loss of connection.I sit alone and talk my dads ear off at home or in the car we go for rides and they like that.I learned that the relationship is NOT over it has just changed through a transition.......my dads words.So sit and talk away and they are there listening and smiling and they will help you were they can.My dad and I have a continuing relationship that grows in a deeper love then when he was here.
The first time I heard this song was at Country Fest is St Helens, Oregon like 15 years ago.
I will never forget the feeling I had.. She got very personal on this one 💜
I remember it was so hot that day and the 🌞 was finally starting to go down, the wind blowing her hair just perfectly (goosebumps) as she's sitting up on this giant stage with just a bar stool and her microphone.. No glitz or glam or bright lights, just her! And this song 💜
That was probably the closest I've ever seen to an angel on Earth. She just let us have it! Her voice still echoes in my mind to this day. I haven't been the same since
Great song
Thank You for Sharing your words

I love Leann’s voice. I also love Vince Gill’s harmony on backup. This song has a message for anyone who has experienced loss.
That's Dan Tyminsky, not Vince Gill.
Beautiful song that ponders "Is it better to have loved and lost or never to have loved at all? "
The same thought I have.
I think its better to of never loved at all. The devastation, and the grief from a loss is unspeakable. It will absolutely shatter you inside.. . Heart, soul, spirit- every ounce of your being is pain. I wouldn't wish it on anybody. No one. ...... and so. I pick never. 🥺💔. Love that is that special, hurts way too bad to lose.
@@andreaknisley154 Me too
June 30, 2013 I lost the best man that I have ever had the privilege to know and love. Born into a family of wealth and privilege, yet he spent his adult life giving back to orhers, first in the military then as a doctor volunteering in third world countries. He had a heart of gold and heaven may have gained an angel, but earth definitely lost one the day he was called home. RIP Kacey, you're still in my heart and i swear with everything i am i will never forget you.
all of your comments are awsome.God bless you all and stay strong
If LeeAnn ever wanted to go to heaven she would fit right in with the rest of the Angel's
I'll never forget May 29, 2008 I was getting my hair done... Once I was done I pulled my phone from my purse to see I had 68 missed calls. The phone rang again I answered with a what the hell is going on! It was the news he was gone. I think for the next 3 months I layed in bed and listen to this song. I haven't listened to it since the day I was pulled out of bed and forced to face the world again. Now almost 7 years later I'm listening to it with a huge smile, tears of both sorrow and joy remembering some super special times. I absolutely love this song!!!
I know it must have hurt like all of Hell, but I'm glad you're doing better now.
hi so glad you doing better now , 7 yrs on i have only just able to listen to this song again still makes me cry , tears of sadness but remember the good times we had still hearts like hell , but like you love this song now
Heart goes out - loss can really mess up, been there - this song gets me
Kristine Bates that's awesome. Even more so that you were given that time to grieve.
Kristine Bates I am so sorry for your loss. Read John 5:28 & 29.
Jesus Christ I’m an atheist and these comments still hit too true. I don’t want or need to be saved. That’s not the point. I just appreciate every day I get to be in her life all the more. Thank you for making this song a reality.
My wife died shortly after I got back from Iraq and were married on my 2 week leave from there. I still love and miss her. I use to constantly listen to this to ease the pain. Then I haven't listened to this since. She died the summer of 2007 and not a day goes by I don't think of her. God bless this song.
Gosh, I read these storys over and over and they break my heart. I wanted to thank you for your service, your courage and your loyality to our country. But what saddens me is you made it through a place where people die everyday for because the believe its for the greater good of islam, im dont believe its only that, its about their anger and hate that passes down through generation to generation. The agenda for Tyranny is more prevalent then it ever has before so thats frightening. So its difficult to fathom youve been through hell and your only hope for survival was your wife waiting for you at home, im sure many other reasons played a part in you staying strong but a loved one gives us strength while we suffer seeing and living through so much distain. I am truly sorry for your loss it seems so unfair, such a betrayal as if heavens above made a great mistake or the better of all is God needed her and shes your Angel guiding through your hardship and helping you find your happiness again. Shell never be gone sir. She is alive within that heart she loved passionately.
This song reminds me of my fiancé that died in February. It kills me but somehow this song helped me a lot. We haven’t even had his funeral yet. It helped me cry and get it out of me. Rip Jesse.

this reminds me of my mother...my mother was a sever alcoholic..i choose not to speak to her for 3 yrs and then for some reason god told me to break the silence and go see her ..I did and she was so happy to see me and cried for joy..she had deminita really bad so she would forget to drink..and she was a totally different person she was so sweet and so funny and so everyday I would talk to her on the phone and spend days with her..then 5 days after my birthday god decided to take her home..god was their to tell me that she not going to be here anymore and you need to spend time with her she dying..i feel so blessed and so greatful for the 4 months that I got with her but I did go through a really really rough mourning period I wouldn't do anything I kept her ashes for 3 years before I decided to let them go..it was hard to wake up every morning to go to work to know she was gone..but I know she would tell me to go ..after she passed she did come to me in a dream to tell she made it ok and is very happy where she is and thanked me for everything. that was the hardest dream ever because I knew it was really here saying her final goodbye to me..i ended up in therapy it totally just turned my world upside down..i was angry for her not staying sober and straight we tried for so many years to save her and she didn't want to be saved..i would talk to her everyday after I got her ashes and just scream and cry for a long time ..it was a way for me to deal with her death I was soooo angry and mad that she wasn't here..i have my days still after 3 years being goine where I think of her and just strat loolsing it I miss her some much but I keep telling myself she in a way better place because if she was down here she be the same nothen would change..

+sparrow Helm so sorry, i can relate, so hard to lose Mom.......♥ so so sad
+sparrow Helm Thank you for sharing God Bless you.
This gal can simply boot her song, music, and her feelings with such grace and fire. Thank you little lady.
the pain never goes away in time you don't think about it as much ,but the pain is still the same
ya ur right
I lost my husband, our girls Daddy and my friend. What other people have said is soooo true....as time goes on, you do think of them less but the pain and loliness never fades. Our girls were only 4 and 13, I was only 31 and he turned 34 two weeks before he passed from Cancer.
It doesn’t ever get easier, you just learn how to bottle it up at certain times. God Bless us all
I lost my stepdad two years ago. A man who had been in my life since I was five years old. I went to a very dark place. I wasn't eating properly, I couldn't sleep without having a drink, and I just couldn't smile anymore. Thankfully everyone in my life got me out of it. Even now it still hurts and sometimes the pain gets so bad I still have to cry it out, and I've just accepted that I might never stop crying over him, but the frequency I cry is a lot less than before. Like she says, "I just take it day by day."

Reminds me of my sweetheart. 7 yrs later I'm still daydreaming of his smile. Where has the time gone. Lord plz help me move on. Living in the past is breaking my heart daily 💔
Its not that your living in the past dear your living yet who you love or loved stays with us even when we move on. What hurts more is they moved on without us, thats painf
Who's still listening to this in 2024
This song just breaks my heart
Me
I do
I listen to this song often and always at this time of year as we come up on the 13th anniversary of my husband's death. We had 17 years together college sweethearts and share 2 amazing children. Live has certainly been a roller-coaster but each year a keep getting a little stronger. I can relate to the life of this woman the song is about.
Ll
Such a beautiful voice and beautiful song. Perfect song since today was another rough day. I'm missing the love of my life so much. My baby...my future husband. We knew we weren't each other's first but wanted to be each other's last. He committed suicide 4 months ago and I'm so broken. I talk to him... some might think I'm crazy...I guess I'll have to see. I love you and miss you...more baby!
Hello, how are you doing?
BIG HUG what a dreadful loss for you. Any idea why he felt he couldn't stay with us any longer? Or was it out of the blue.
CJ x Melbourne Victoria Australia STRAYA Southern HEMISPHERE
He battled a life long struggle of depression and anxiety. He was abused as a child and married a woman just like her. He couldn't get passed it all and never felt like he deserved love nor to be happy. Being happy with me, he felt a guilt... didn't know how to handle the live ashe felt he didn't deserve it. I'll NEVER fully understand...I didn't get to say goodbye.😢
One of the best voices of all time❤
My husband passed away 6 years in july I miss him everyday he was and will always be my perfect match. I relate to it in many ways very moved.
I completely understand your pain. I lost mine 7 years ago in June. Our daughter will be 8 in August. It never gets easier. I've never related to a song so much.
The words say it all. If I'd never seen his face, I probably wouldn't be this way. Its been a year, and the silence is deafening. I mis his touch, his whisper, his arms. God give me a moment's grace...
I listen to this song when I need a good cry. I'll never forget that knock on the door as long as I live. "We're sorry to tell you...." There should be a better way to tell someone I loved Kenneth he was my world and it was just over like that
Been hearing this song in my head everyday since the love of my life was diagnosed with cancer. Don't think I'll ever get it out.
yes this song says so much and it was our song as well my wife died of the dreaded cancer that took her from me so early in life , it does not matter how many times you hear it , just remember the good times it brings to mind ,
I am not a country fan by any means and I think LeAnn Rimes is a nut, but this song made me cry the first time I heard it. It describes deep grief and the shock that you're in for months and months afterwards perfectly. The way she just sits numbly and weeps throughout the video makes it even more poignant. I wish I had had someone who loved me that much.
You failed to complete the compliment sandwich. It's, compliment, bad news, compliment. But I see your point. Neither her music nor country is for everyone. I've always loved her voice.
So underrated. Make her big again, she’s so deserving 💖
this is one of the saddest songs I've come across recorded by a woman. and it's one of the most amazing too.
I lost my husband of just 2 momths. He was my entire world. He's been gone almost 3 years now. I mourn him daily but I have to keep the pain buried so deep within me for the kids. Sometimes it feels like a burn that's going to consume me.
This song isn't always about the dead leaving you but the people that you love with all your heart and soul leaving you with the heart wrenching pain and soul breaking pain in more ways more than anyone could understand and the impact of the love you all shared left on your heart and soul and wishing your love was enough to save them from there own self hatred but no matter what you love them with everything you have, no matter the pain it causes you because that love is worth the pain and heartache. You convince yourself that your love for them will save them and the heartache is worth the pain for them to realize your love for each other is real. It's something that will always last a lifetime no matter what and all you can do is pray they realize they are worth the love you pour into them. But usually it always ends in heartache whether it's a love that slowly dies or a love that slowly kills you mind, body and soul. But no matter what that love never goes away....
Missing you every single second of every single day... til my last breath. Our boy is a spitting image of you. I see you in him every day. It’s bittersweet really. I know you would be so proud. I pray your soul is resting in peace my love. As for mine.. it died the moment your heart stopped beating.
Forever Yours xoxo
Love Always, your girl.
RIP Adam Neal Tipton 1/25/76 - 2/16/09
This song is the epitome of all my feelings thru my messy divorce. Thank u for making this song.
People tell me all the time i should just move on. I have. But I haven't forgotten and it hurts the same today as the day I lost him. That will never change. Once you love someone you never stop loving them. And time heals no wounds, you just learn to live with the pain
That voice is INCREDIBLE...such an angelic voice!
Lost my first love last Monday. This song hits right home. I feel so lost without him, but I’m grateful to have had him in my life at all RIP my love
The comments make me realize how blessed I am I still have the person I fell in love with!
I was reading them just thinking this very thought. So very blessed 🙌
Life can have the worst memories with the best person you ever knew in your life. You wake up above the dirt everyday and given the choice by God to make it better. You will never forget but get the chance to make it better.
Sigh...... My husband has cancer & he always talks about when he's gone & our last kiss together it makes me cry so much & i love him more then the moon loves the night sky.. Our son is too young to know what's going on but I'm really scared...
+Harley Nicolette hang in there sweetheart. my prayers are with you and your fam.
Harley Nicolette - My wife's first name was Nicollete. I always thought that it was such a beautiful name.
Harley Nicolette I am so incredibly sorry for all that you are going through. I don't know if you are religious or not but I want to share a scripture with that is comforting, John 5:28,29- ....a time is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will hear the voice of Jesus Christ, the son of the only true God Jehovah, to come out.... Jehovah God will give Jesus Christ his only begotten son the authority to raise the dead.
Harley Nicolette I'm so sorry. you and your son are in my prayers.
How is your husband! Living a wonderful life I hope 🤞
Reminds me of my sister and her beloved husband. I miss him so much! I never knew love like they had. 35 years of love, honesty, and so true love. I wish I had been so blessed
LeAnn has that voice that captivates you. I been lucky enough to see her several times she is amazing
I lost the man I had loved for so many years. We never could have been together. He died 24 years ago. Grieving takes a long time and you never really get over it. But you do move on and realize that God has something for you that will help. My help came from the cat I decided to adopt. She was, somehow, keenly aware when my thoughts/moods drifted into depressing and dangerous areas and would warn me when I was going towards places outside that had been happy, but were no longer. With her, and now, my new cat, I am going on. Life is better now for me.
From 2007, so understand how the writer felt. Thankful they were able to put words down. Very eloquently put.
Now in 2024- My fiancé passed with a heart attack in 2012 at 53 from coming back from Iraq. It’s easier now 12 years later but still find it hard to date. So I don’t anymore.
Reminds me of my very 1st love RIP Robbie Still think about you all the time But God needed you more
Jesus comfort all who hurt IN YOUR MIGHTY NAME
Amen ❤
I dedicate this for all the women and men who lost a loved one fighting for our country. Their beautiful feathers brushing against your skin as they wrap you into their arms, they are your guiding angels.
We're all here for the people who live inside our heart.
I've not thanked you for this song, for this video. I watched it over and over that fall of 2012 after Aric died. The shot woke me around five in the morning. I held him in my arms until EMT arrived. His leaving was fast. So horribly fast. After five weeks in a mental hospital I had to find a way to survive, to keep moving onward. I'd promised my son I wouldn't follow my beloved to wherever it was he was. I sought out movies and songs about death. This song of yours, this was my anthem. I'd play it, feel every lyric, nod at every image, and sob like I was about to tear in two. Right up to that last line about the date, which I've not yet done. Seven and a half years, but I can't. Not yet. I probably wouldn't be this way, true. But I know how blessed I am to love this much. To've been loved so very much. Thanks, Leann. Thanks for so beautifully singing my anthem.
Hello, how are you doing today?
[Verse 1]
Got a date a week from Friday
With the preacher's son
Everybody says he's crazy
I'll have to see
I finally moved to Jackson
When the summer came
I won't have to pay that boy to rake my leaves
I'm probably going on and on
It seems I'm doing more of that these days
[Chorus]
I probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't hurt so bad
I never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh, you left so fast
Sometimes I see you standing there
Sometimes it's like I'm losing touch
Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky
To have had the chance to love this much
God gave me a moment's grace
Cause if I'd never seen your face
I probably wouldn't be this way
[Verse 2]
Mama says that I just shouldn't speak to you
Susan says that I should just move on
You oughta see the way these people look at me
When they see me 'round here talking to this stone
Everybody thinks I've lost my mind
But I just take it day by day
[Chorus]
I probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't hurt so bad
I never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh, you left so fast
Sometimes I see you standing there
Sometimes it's like I'm losing touch
Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky
To have had the chance to love this much
God gave me a moment's grace
Cause if I'd never seen your face
I probably wouldn't be this way
Probably wouldn't be this way
[Outro]
Got a date a week from Friday
With the preacher's son
Everybody says I'm crazy
Guess I'll have to see
LeAnn’s
Voice seems to get better. She is so beautiful! I hope she is happy! What a beautiful woman she grew up to be.
Hello, how are you doing today?
I lost my 48 year old love to cancer seven years ago and not a day goes by that he's not in my mind and heart
when I rad what you wrote kristine it reminded me of a similar situation. Losing somebody you love in life or death leaves you on your knees, rolled up in a ball, hiding from the world. yet when the first person you go to see for spiritual healing is above you honey. I know without God he is who gives me a moments grace
I just miss my dad and my brother it hurts so much.
17 years since my daughter died n 14 for my first son and 10 since my second son died 😭 they are my Angels In Waiting ( waiting for wings )

ur so welcome i can only imagine what u live with day to day but threw god things will always end up happy in end may u be reunited with ur children one day
KATHERINE FREEMAN my god;(
I listen to this song. The love of my life left me 2 weeks before our 6 year anniversary. I think about him all the time and tell him I will always love him. He was my world. I miss him so much. God needed him more and had a plan in place. Part of me left when he died. I had our life planned out,but it did not work out the way I planned.
This song resonates with me now. I lost my boyfriend on December 16th due to a seizure. He was waiting for me in the car while I was in a doctor appointment and I found him slumped over face down in the driver's seat. An ambulance was called and EMT's tried to revive him, but they couldn't save him. I feel like it was my fault because I was the one who usually took care of him during his seizures (he had a traumatic brain injury due to a car crash when he was 17). I know it's not my fault, but I feel responsible anyway. He couldn't go into my appointment with me because of Covid restrictions.
We were only together 4 years. I'm heartbroken :'(. He was my favorite person. My heart. My reason to smile. My life. My home. I'm so scared and overwhelmed!
Hello, how are you doing?
This song is both hauntingly beautiful and terrifyingly sad at the same time. LeAnn Rimes is unbelievably talented, her performance in this video feels so real and heartfelt. And the vocals, good Lord....
My Fiance was taken from me the day we got engaged and it has been 20 years and I still see him everywhere I look. He was truly the love of my life. As he was dying he told me that he wanted me to be happy and that he loved me more than life and he would be by my side till my last days. I miss him with every breath I take and I feel him all the time and know he is by my side. The pain never goes away but in time it lessens a little more. I know I will never love someone the way him and I loved but I finally married 3 years ago and he reminds me sometimes of Mike. He will tell me sometimes that I call him Mike in my sleep and he lets me talk about him. So maybe this is part of my healing process. There is no timeline for getting over your grief, just take it day to day.
Oh bless your heart. I know the pain also. It never ends.
💐💖💙😓 My heart goes to you. Xxx my husband of four years, took his life in 2016.
"Sometimes it's like I'm losing touch, I'm lucky to have loved this much" xoxo 100% truth
I cant imagine...loving any one less...than the ghost...that is still haunting Me
I just want you to know that that man truly loves you. He sacrifices his heart for yours. Please never let him go.
I'm sorry 💚
This song really hurts. I picture it in a different way because it reminds me of my 4 angel babies that were never buried, they flew away before they had the chance to see this world. But because of the abusive relationship I was in, God removed my children from this world of knowing that the man I was with didn't want them.....however he blessed me with my best friend of 21yrs to love me the way God intended and he cries some nights wishing those kids were his. He says regardless that he has 4 kids not just 1. Thankyou Jesus, for giving me the chance to love again.
Life is to short love the ones you love even more keep them close don’t ever let hard feelings stand in the way love and forgive you never know when it’ll be our last day
When I read all these comments it brings reality just a bit closer of hard it is to lose someone you love. My heart goes out to those of you who lost your loved one without warning for that does not give you time to prepare yourself or say goodbye in the way you had hoped. So I feel for you and your suffering and pray that you have either come to terms with your loss and pain or are at least beginning to. Death is and will always be a traumatic thing to go through when it's someone close to you. A Mother or Father, Sister or Brother, a Friend, a Lover, a Husband or wife. And most of all a child. Grief has no expiration date.
In 2014 my husband of more than 30 years was diagnosed with several forms of Cancer...he fought a valiant battle against this horrific disease that still has no cure after so much research and funds spent to help control or cure the disease. My daughter and I had to watch as he (once a strong and active man) faded into a shell of his former self and slipped away from us on January 14, 2015. We had 6 months with him after he was diagnosed. My daughter and I wee blessed at least to be with him while he passed, I held him in my arms as he slipped away. There is nothing harder than that. One one hand you are in such grief and on the other relieved that their pain and suffering has ended. His beautiful soul just drifted away that day.
2014 was one of the hardest years I've ever had as death seemed to knock on many doors... My father in law passed from complications of Heart and Kidney Disease the July prior to my husband so my Mother in law was hit hard. I lost 2 Sister in laws (one to Cancer and the other to an accidental drug overdose)and a nephew to suicide. And if that weren't enough, I also lost a dear friend to Cancer 4 months after my husband passed away. It all but killed me inside. Within 1 year 6 people that I loved dearly died and I thought I'd lose my mind with grief. Without my daughter's love and support through it all, I may have laid down and given in to my grief.
Several months prior to my husbands diagnosed I came across this beautiful song and it made me cry jut thinking about how I'd feel if I lost my Best friend, lover and the father of my children. He and I met when I was only 14 and he was 18. We became fast friends and hung out a lot going to the movies, out to eat with friends and just getting to know each other. Within 2 years we fell in love and became inseparable. Then came the day that he asked my parents if he could marry me and of course they said no... I was too young. So 2 more years after that we got married and stayed together until his dying day. He was my Prince, my Knight in shining armour. He was my protector and teacher...and so so much more. I miss him every single day and do all I can to cope with his loss.Without the few people in my life that make it bearable I would have had no reason to stay. But my life is better now and I am grateful and so blessed for the time I had him in my life...as I am for all those lost to me that year. I pray for their peace and God's Grace and Mercy each day. My love for them will never die.
God bless all of you who have suffered great losses in your lives. May you find the peace promised by God in knowing they are together with their creator and are happy and joyful as they watch over us all waiting for our day to arrive so they can welcome us home. Amen.
This song literally makes me break down. Such a beautiful song and singer.
Grief is a long process & only she knows when it's time for her to move on...be there for her but don't try to go through this with her...it's her loss
Some songs are just there and have a huge meaning for some people...
they are full of pain, joy and memories. I have a painful memory to this
song too... and I still love it. With all those sad country songs I
know, this one is the top!!! And LeAnn´s video is really heartbreaking and wonderful.
the emotion in this video is absolutely amazing.
god, no one sings like LeAnn such an angelic voice, this is incredible. there will never be another who has her tone and voice
Hello, how are you doing today?
This song will always remind me of my Aunt who passed in 2005. I would sit in her condo while caring for her three cats while she fought for her life in the hospital. It was such a dark and sad time. It was the first time I heard this song and though it was hauntingly beautiful. 😰
I still cry even 13 years later !! He was the love of my life , he is still the only love I have ever known!! Miss you my matt
wow. what a voice! people still slate her for her private life, but this girl can sing!
& she's only human after all...😏😏😏
song killing me right now....my hubby passed Feb 11th...its hitting me words fit me right now we love Leann Love I have for this man always

My fav LeeAnn song up until now with arms around the world
Such a lovely song from a very spiritual Lady. Thank you for this song 🎵. Peace and happiness 8888
This song touches my heart with its poignant lyrics and melody! Imagine loving someone that much and losing them. Most people never find a love that deep or a true soul mate. Sometimes when they do find their true love, it is too late because the object of their affections is already taken.
It literally tore my soul apart losing my first/true love. We were together for 4 years. He was killed when he was 20 and I was 21 and a few weeks after burying him I found out I was pregnant with his baby and I can say having a piece of him left with me has mended my heart a good bit. Not completely but just enough. Our daughter looks just like her daddy to a T and sometimes it hurts looking at her bc I miss her daddy more than anything but god knew what he was doing leaving a piece of him with me. I needed that.
I lost my fiancé a little over four months ago. My heart feels like it’s trying to escape my body. With every beat the crack gets bigger but I still feel bless to have been loved by and to love him.
Whoever wrote these words was hurting badly.
In 2 weeks it will be 11 years since my husband died 10-14-07 This song touches me so deeply because we were lucky enough to have had "the real thing" although he was taken too soon at 33. Luckily I have our children to remind me of him and 17 years of memories. But I'll Never be Ok. I moved on or tried, but so far nobody comes close in comparison and I refuse to settle. This song always brings tears to me eyes.
The comments section literally made me cry.
William Ehlers and me
It made me realize that others had and have it so much worse. My heart is breaking for these comments.
I made this 💯
i know right!
Legit.😭
What is sadder than having to acknowledge the soldiers that died in service..and sometimes they do ....but mostly we forget to acknowledge the ones waiting for them at home that they never come home too....what about them...the ones that were expecting them home..encouraging to fulfill their desire..and thinking the will do and come home....and don't...who thinks of them? That is what this song make me think of...For all the wives that sent their husbands out thinking they were going to come back ...and didn't...You deserve a medal of honor too....because you still have to continue on...So this song is for you
That is a unfortunate truth that many people forget. We as soliders wives and husbands wait patiently with loyality as they go through a living hell. We feel a pain we hardly can express let alone write down for if we express the fear that lives inside of us, if we dont stand tall, proudly and with courage we are a reflection of our spouse so when we dont hear from them for weeks we go through our own hell of course ee dont fsre say our fear or pain is more or less then theirs yet truth be told we wait if fear everyday for two men to knock on our door or a letter from a friend thst they have died and when they do we go through another hardship for all our fears came true. I wouldnt change what my spouse does or his loyality, hos courage amazes me and im.so thankful he made it home but a solider is always a solider. Here or there. I will pray for all of you that are in wait for their loved one or lost them. God bless
My guy was in the Army and served ever so proudly. He was t boned on the passenger side of the front seat and killed the weekend before he was to take me to the mountains and propose to me. They said he HE WAS NOT let me repeat WAS NOT wearing his seat belt he would have lived but since the seat belt tightend and locked in place he couldn't move so he got crushed by the passenger front seat and console of jeep Cherokee. He was an identical twin. That military funeral was one of the most difficult things I've ever had to face. That song helped me me get to a point where I could actually go thru the stages of grieving.
Omg .same here my Father made me promise no military service for him and I made it my priority to see that his last wish was carried out...So glad someone else feels same way as we did... My Condolences to you Sir ...I truly feel your pain and my heart goes out to you and anyone that sees this message ...🙏❣️
I Accepted Their Free Footstone ! Evidently they must think for all he gave he was worth Only a rock at his feet ...However I had Life Insurance for Burial and I took every penny of it and spent it on his Memorial Service....I Did The Right Thing ...I Kept My Word and Honor ..I Hope He Knows I Am Going To Do The Right Thing again This Time...Let The Angels Watch Over Me.
You never get over a lost Loved one ,as time passes you don't think of them every minute of the day. Having lost 2 children one 18 years old in 1998 Michael Jr.and my only daughter Michelle 32yrs old. I now think of them both at least once or twice a day . It depends on what time of the year also. Never over them just not as new broken Hearts feel. GOD BLESS EVERYONE MAY GOD EASE YOUR PAIN.
What a beautiful beautiful heartbreaking song:) LeAnn has one of my all time favorite voices.
Just lost my wonderful husband if nearly 20 years to aggressive gallbladder cancer a month ago tomorrow. I cry when I hear this song now, because I understand. 😭
A perfect song that went unnoticed due to the B.S. music soon to follow.
:)
This song is reminding me of my mom. We lost her last month due to a brain tumor. She was a beautiful and amazing woman and the BEST mother and grandmother. My son is taking it really hard. But she will be with always in our hearts and minds.
