  • This was played at my brother's memorial service. He passed away 12-17-11. I miss him so much. He committed suicide. He was only 33. It's not even been a month and I just can't go a day without thinking about how much he meant to everyone who knew him. He was loved by ever single person who knew him. I am honored to have had the chance to know him in his short time here on Earth. I remember growing up we used to play in the woods. We played like he was Jason Voorhees chasing after me.

  • Hi and thanx for your advice but I have researched and have chosen a holistic approach..I really believe that you can heal with your diet and clean water intake. Also being active and being around positive people helps....So I hope you have peace in ur life N be well DIDI

  • This song was sang at my mother's funeral, and a year and a half later played at my daughter's. They were both my heroes.

  • Sadly my great grandma has past away earlier today! i dedicate this song to Hilda Nelson. R.I.P and u will always be in my thoughts and prayers. i love you, sleep tight. xxxx

  • This song makes me think of my two dearest girlfriends Carolyn who died from breast cancer and Lola who died from colon cancer. Two incredible and brilliant wonderful women. I miss them so so much. They were my heros.

  • When my sister and I were 13, She told me that if she ever died that she wanted me to sing at her funeral, so everyone could hear my voice.I promised her I would. (I was never comfortable enough to sing in front of anyone except her) She was my best friend. I learned this song just for her, because it reminded me so much of how I felt for her. I sang this song to her and she cried. Now that were older...I'm going to keep my promise.

  • Great video! Thanks for making it. :)

  • this a wonderful song and means alot 2 me, my auntie dawn performed this in front off many people and she won a hoilday singing it , but a year later it was played at her funeral as she lost her battle against a brain tumour at the age of just 33 years old.

  • On mothers day we added this to our playlist as favorite, my mother is reminded of her brother my uncle killed in a motorcycle accident and often brings her to tears. Thanks for the post!

  • This music change my life. Thank you.

  • This is a request from Jesus

  • when i first listened to this song it was while watching the movie Beaches.. and with the song playing when that little girls mum died i was crying so much...

    this song is amazing and ones who think its CRAP maybe u should get a NEW BRAIN as to me and many others who would also agree it sounds like u dont know what good music and songs which have so much meaning sounds like...

  • this song brings such sad memories as it has been played at all my families funerals

    especially my son dean who passed away after a 2 year battle against leukaemia and was only 22 yrs old. R.I.P son love u 4ever Dad xxxx

  • @54kevb I lost my 22 yr old son to addiction. My son became addicted to his ADD medicine Ritaline after 10 years. He is in paradise, perfect and whole. Some days I can hear him say I am fine Dad, go on and enjoy your life. I will see you again. God I love him so. Be strong my friend I am trying to.

  • @pwg0070 Hello, First I would just like to say I am sooo sorry for your loss...I had to reply to your comment because I am currently going thru something similar. My son is 12yrs old and his father and I dont see eye to eye on this matter of Add,Adhd and the drugging of our son. I think its all a lie and a way to make our children dependant on pharma. drugs.

    Its BIG business..these companies that push drugs are making billions!!!

    So with that being said I hope you find peace

  • @dididinah826 Go to the FDA wesite and do a search on Ritalin warning sheet. Print the warnings out. If you need help e-mail me at pwg1126@comcast.net and I will send you a copy. Ask him if he is willing to take the risk. The FDA discusses the possible heart failure issues and the high addictiveness of Ritalin. Ask your doctor about a non-stimulant treatment like Straterra. If you have to go the stimulant route, ask Psychiatrist for the lowest dosage of a time released drug like Vyvanse

  • @54kevb my best friend just passed away yesterday at 10:14 pm with leukemia on top of that with pneumonia. He fought it for 7 years and i'm just been looking for a song. My condolence to you, and Chan Wang, you are forever loved by all of us. I Love You, R.I.P

    @ndy

  • @hyasuma awww I'm soo sorry babe that must be hard for you xx my husband had a bone marrow transplant a yr ago keep chin up im sure your best mate beautiful up with god xx

  • I lost a beautiful, loving, caring, honest, giving person to drugs and this song also has a twist to it because it's also the song that my mom and I danced to at my wedding because she says that's the song that reminds me of her. God Bless my dear cousin/sister Melissa J. Smith died 7/27/08. God Bless my mom Connie Keeton. I'm sitting here crying like a baby.

  • @89D15CRX She is in paradise surrounded by unimaginable beauty. I also lost someone I loved dearly, my son Sean. I went to Griefshare. You should go. Google griefshare org. and try it once. The program is worldwide and the cost is only $20 for 14 weeks of watching DVDs on the subject of grief and how to cope with it. If you don't like it there is no charge. You don't get over grief or the loss. Grief is the price we pay for loving someone so special. God bless you and your family.

  • My absolute favorite song, I love you girl, I played this song for my best friend who died giving birth, we where 18 years old and grew up together, I cry as I write this, I just love every bit of it, Your voice gives me the chills and has touched so many people, Your amazing,,,from your number one fan (I promise) misssissippi girl

  • I wonder if the composer's of 'You Raise Me Up' had this song in mind? The 1st 2 lines of WBMW's chorus can be sung to the first 2 lines of YRMU's chorus and vice versa. Its interesting how both songs are about gaining strength and self belief from the love of another.

  • Says, the pure experience that comes from a Soul-Friend exceeds any Earthly measure. The substance that is exchanged in this bond is realized through the eyes and ears our heart and soul. It is human to forget and to take for granted that the connection could never be lost. It is only through the times when the bond is in jeopardy that the connection becomes pure again. Bonds may become weak, but they are eternal.

  • @TempleOfGaia that was beautiful.
