I just lost my fiance 12 days ago. I've never had anyone love me the way she loved me. I never had to question her love. The feeling I got from her love was unlike anything I'd ever felt. I thought I had found love once before her but once I fell for her, I realized there was no comparison. She was the most honest and caring person I've ever met. I've been completely crushed by this. A part of me died when she passed. Now I'm just going through the motions. On April 23, 2021, my whole world stopped. Now I feel I'm stuck in this terrible moment while the rest of the world moves on. RIP Brandi Roy

Her spirit will always be with you 💕 Love like that never goes away, it just takes a different form. The world needs more people that are capable of love this pure, and it is a better place with you in it. I believe that one day you'll see her again. Until that day, walk the path, remember what she taught you, and spread that love to as many as you can. You are not alone. Stay strong and take care my friend.

The only way to get through the pain is to live each day earning that kind of love she gave you. The only to earn it is by loving others that very same way. Loving others that way will inevitably bring future pain. But dont worry...you can do it. She showed you how.

I felt like I was reading my own words. I lost my husband of 4 years on April 28,2021 our two year wedding anniversary was on the 27th. He is an over the road truck driver and was on his way to Colorado when he had to work on the truck and the cab fell on him and pinned him and he began his new journey. I say out loud often like Mathew is dead I’m NEVER going to get to talk to him ever again. It’s just so unbelievable to me because he is so strong, my Popeye is what I always call him

40 years. That's how long we were married. Now he's gone. I lost my husband to cancer. "I hope it's not me who's left behind." But here I am. Alone . We always think it will just keep going on, but someone usually has to leave first. I was lucky. I had someone who lived me unconditionally. It's what sustains me now. Don't take each other for granted. Say 'I love you. I'm sorry. I'm here for you.' Love freely. That's my advice.

We had almost 44 years; missed our 44th anniversary by 4 months to the day. I agree with your words; kindness, forgiveness, I'm sorry, frequent words of love and admiration, appreciation, avoiding anger, especially petty anger for little to no reason, which is such a waste of precious time. I miss him more than I can barely stand, it's so, so hard; I don't know how I belong, or where I belong, or if I belong anymore. It is a strange existence to be here alone, for how long who knows. It's life altering, devastating, but, here we are. I wish you peace and comfort as you heal.❤

Since the moment I heard this line, 'maybe time running out is a gift' it's echoed it my soul. I believe death is indeed a gift. To have had love, to have love, to give love, to have kissed love, and to have missed love. A blessing, a gift, an ache that is a privilege to feel. To know we have loved that deeply, or to have been loved deeply. How absolutely beautiful!!

Thats the truth! The price is very, very high, but worth every tear.....and there are endless buckets of those! Just when you think you can't possibly cry any more tears, that you are dried up, along comes Jason Isbell to prove me wrong! Good grief, here they come, every time I listen to this beautifully written song. He is a gifted story teller, no doubt. My late husband would definitely agree; enjoying music was something we did for almost 44 years. It has taken me over 4 years to even be able to listen to any music because of the trauma of losing him, but I figured I may as well get it over with and start with a master at his craft!

A year ago, I shared this song with my amazing partner after she returned from summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro at the age of 62. We had met after we both turned 60. I was widowed, and she had never married. She found the lyrics equally poignant and said, "This is our song." Six months later, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died in 3 months. It was a brief and brutal battle. There was no way we could have predicted how the powerful lyrics of this song would apply to our own relationship. How I wish we could have had 40 years together.

My dad plays the guitar, he’s been playing this song as long as I can remember, he’d always sit down in the kitchen, pick in hand, while he sung with my mother, i would just sit on the ground and watch them in awe. I’m a teenager now, we’re a bit distant, he’s working hard on building his own office, my mom currently works from home, but she wants to do more, we don’t really have time to hang out anyone, I usually spend my time in my room writing, I’m currently writing my own song about some of my personal struggles, even though I’ve been writing songs since I was a kid, I sing and play the drums, but I’ve always been a sucker for acoustic guitar, back when he had to the time we would sit in the car and he’d always play Jason Isbell or Billy Joel, which my grandpa used to play with him in the car, anytime I hear either of them I think of him. I miss being a kid. This song always makes me cry.

It's beautiful that you had a relationship with your dad like that. Perhaps he doesn't realize how much you miss him. Let him know! Sometimes we parents don't realize how much our teens still need us. At that age, we tend to think you'd rather not have old mom or dad around as much. It's nice that you realize that your parents' time away is bc they're working hard to build a better life for your family. Just ask for a few minutes of time in the car to play & sing together. Let him know you've been missing him & his much that time has meant to you in the past. I'm sure it will make his day!

I just lost my husband after 40 years together and feel like this song was written for me. There is a hard truth in the line, "maybe time running out is a gift." If you know that the life of the person you love will be abbreviated, you will tell them everything you feel for them every day that you have together, so nothing is left unsaid when the last day comes. We should do that anyway. You can never know when the person you love will be snatched from you. You want them to know how much they are loved before it is too late to tell them.
@timrlang159 Жыл бұрын
All those things you worry about leaving unsaid? If your love was true, and it certainly appears it was, they weren't unsaid, they simply weren't spoken aloud. The loved one still heard them, and understood.
@cpwood350610 ай бұрын
I am very sorry for the loss of your husband; I feel your sorrow and grief, as I lost my husband 4 months to the day before our 44th anniversary; yesterday would have been 48 years. I actually remember feeling comforted in knowing that nothing of any meaning was left unsaid between us; not one thing. In the darkest moments of my grief, when I wasn't sure that I could stay here without him, feeling totally drenched by the grief, I found comfort knowing that he never had to wonder if I loved him, and I never had to wonder either; he said it and showed me every day; when he lost his ability to speak or write, I could see it in his beautiful eyes, when I was trying to memorize his face, as if I could ever forget it. But our time running out was a gift for him; he was finally at peace, without pain; I try to honor his bravery by having hope. It is my wish that 2 years later, this finds you with much hope, peace, and serenity in your healing. This is a long journey we are on, and I hope you are feeling joy again, as he would want for you to.❤

My grandmother is the one left behind right now, trying to figure out how to navigate this life/ world without her partner of 67+ years.

My love and I had more than 30 years together and we both knew due to his health the last decade, that he would likely be the first to leave. Still nothing can prepare a person for the reality of losing your best friend, lover, partner and husband. With his hand in mine and my heart on his chest I heard his heart beat for the last time. He's still with me and I know we'll be together again when the time is meant to be. But life is very different when you lose the one who held your heart.

I proposed to a woman this weekend. I've know her since 1998...My whole life was filled with the romance of having grandparents and parents that got their 40 years together...me and my bride to be won't be as fortunate. She just turned 48 and I did last October. This song will be played at the wedding. I'm trying my best to see if #JasonIsbell will be anywhere close to the area or would be able to zoom in on that day for this. We are both old souls and this song touches us both deeply. Either way..that you for putting your heart on paper . As we are both musicians I know how hard that can be.

He's still first at the door to protect us from dangers outside but lately there's been a bit more hobble in his step. His snout is going grey. I love him with all my heart and it will be an absolute sledge hammer when the cosmic winds take him away. Tonight, I'm not gonna snap at him to get off the bed. I will pull him in and cuddle him, and return an 1/8th of the love he has given me.

Mum told me that she wanted it played at her funeral. I have never listened to the lyrics properly up until now. It perfectly sums up my parents marriage. They had celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary in January of this year. I have never met or known a more loving couple.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious son; my husband and I lost our son many years ago, and yet, each morning it is new. I know nothing I can say can bring you healing or relief, but my heart is with you. I lost my precious husband shortly before our 44th anniversary; we would have been married 48 years yesterday. He had been terminally ill for 375 days, and his time running out was a gift, for him, to end his suffering. Trying to learn how to be here without him is not something I thought I could do; for quite a while, I wasn't sure I wanted to. Our daughter and sil, and grandchildren have saved my life, and I am slowly coming out of the fog of grief, but some days it feels like a blanket. I feel the weight of the grief some days more than others, but it is a steady dose of heartbreak and missing him that has become my new normal; being the one left behind is not something I would wish on anyone. When we lose someone who is so much a part of us, to our very soul, it is impossible to ever not imagine them being here. I sometimes feel the presence of him and our son; it's as if I can feel them near me, but just out of reach. I am no longer so desperate to leave here, but I do hope it's true that we are rejoined with our loved ones when we do. Otherwise, I don't understand anything about this life and what it means. I wish you much peace and comfort in your healing. It's going to be ok, that much I know. Things will never be the same, but we are going to be ok. ❤

I'm so sorry, SandraBevr; I share your feelings, as I lost my husband shortly before our 44th anniversary; it's as if we have been thrown out in the street, belonging nowhere, and with nowhere to go! It's such a lost feeling, I truly wasn't sure if I could stay here without my husband; I'm sure that you know what I mean when I say that I didn't even remember me before him. Before "us"; if I was no longer Mrs. Him, than what was I?! It's such an indescribable feeling of not belonging anywhere; at least that's how I felt. I hope that things are getting better for you; I hope you have found some peace and serenity in your healing.❤

I am a long time Tom Petty fan with the honor of seeing him numerous times in concert. I used to tell everyone that the reason I would see every tour of his was because you never knew when it would be the last one. Then Oct. 1, 2017 happened. I remember crying when the news broke. I had always asked who would fill that void when that day happened but never really had an answer. I was a fan of Isbell before that day, but since then he has been the one to fill that void. I realize now how lucky we are to see someone as talented as Jason Isbell and watching as others discover his music. I can't wait to see him in concert once again in the next month and hope to see many more tours in the future.

Part of what makes this song so good to me is that, I know it’s right despite how much I want it to be wrong. If I could have me and my girlfriend live forever, never having to lose one another, I would. I know he’s right that life isn’t meant to go one forever and that’s what makes love such a gift, is how fleeting it is but the thought of living without her is honestly mortifying. I mean, I’ve had those late nights, sitting blazed and dreading the day that one of my parents die. I know life isn’t meant to last forever but I’m not ready to deal with loss and I don’t think I ever will be. I’d rather it just never came.
