Luckily I've never went through this kind of heartbreak but have to say, what an amazing and powerful song and lyrically is so beautiful, your soft voice compliments it soo well, just amazing stuff and I'm sure many tears will be shed by hearing this, thanks for sharing
Just beautiful, my wife and had a miscarriage and a still born , many years ago , and our daughter last year had a miscarriage, pain never goes away , always in our thoughts, and thankyou for such a beautiful song x
I'm a 40yo lorry driver. Had to pull over from crying so much. Not ashamed to admit it. My wife had 3 miscarriages before my little girl was born. Beautiful song. Thank you.
I discovered my mother crying on her bed when I was in my twenties and she was in her fifties. That was when I found out about my sister, who she'd carried for a full nine months before she was strangled by the cord, one day before due delivery date. The baby was taken away in a bucket. No funeral and no mention of her ever again. I always wondered why mum was so depressed. I'm now 60 years old and a celebrant. Whenever a baby service comes my way it's tough but I give it my all because I know what the parents need. Discovering this beautiful song may help them too so I'll guide them to this. Thank you for the lovely words Lucy. And to those of you who have lost your babies I send my heartfelt love and prayers.
My daughter just shared this video with me. She lost a baby a few months ago. She is pregnant again, been counting the days until her first appointment. That day is tomorrow, just praying they hear a heartbeat and the baby is healthy.
I had an eptopic - I didn’t know I could get pregnant. I knew I was pregnant for less than 24 hours …. We started a journey to try for a baby, started saving for IVF (Pip fund) then I found out I had cervical cancer. Pip saved my life, if we’d not been trying I would not have questioned irrational periods - I would have thought start of menopause - I was late 40’s. I think of and thank Pip everyday. 11 years my guardian angel 💕💕. Thank you for this song so special.
52 year old man crying as my partner and I lost our son Alfie Jnr at 35 weeks in 2007 and he had to be still born. So touched by this song. Prayers and love to all those that has suffered this heartache that never truly goes away.
Thanks Lucy. Thanks, Jeremy. My wife had a miscarriage 32 years ago. After that, we had three beautiful children. One is a lecturer at Bristol Uni. The daughter is a Lawyer and the youngest son has just started the Uni. We are a very happy family but from time to time my mind goes back to 1991 and I think of the lost one, our beautiful Rainbow Baby Lanka and wonder what could have been. Lucy your song with powerful lines is so sad, but very beautiful at the same time. Thank you very much
Hi there wow, thank you so much for sharing I’m glad this song could reach you. It’s so important we acknowledge them even if you are lucky enough to go onto have children in the future - glad I could remind you today of your baby Lanka 🤍 xxxx
I lost my baby at 12 weeks ironically on Mothering Sunday 1975. I am now 76 years old and I cannot forget that awful day. However, I pray that we shall be reunited in Paradise.. What an inncredible song! Thankfully I did have a daughter a couple of years later who has been obsessed with rainbows all her life. Thank you. for creating this song.
A beautiful song and mixing video and like others heard it on BBC Radio 2 this lunchtime and came to find it here. We lost our child just before 12 weeks so we didn’t even get to see him/her on the scan. My wife was devastated as we had been through IVF after trying for a while with no success. I felt I had to be super strong for my wife but inside I was really hurting. Watched the video here today and started to sob. My thought for all the guys out there who have gone though a baby loss (and who unfortunately may do so in the future) is be strong for your partner but remember it’s also OK to cry and show emotion and also to open up to other people about it.
Thank you. I heard you on Radio 2 yesterday. Eimear and I have never believed in the don't tell anyone before 12 week 'rule'. We had miscarriage at 7 weeks 4 years ago. We lost our baby girl Saoirse at 21 weeks last year. This song helps me to grieve. We do have a blessing of a little boy Tadhg coming up to 3 years old next March. Eimear is 18 weeks tomorrow with another brother or sister for him. Thank you again.
Just listened to your interview with Jeremy Vine. My wife had 3 miscarriages after going through IVF for over 6 years. Eventually we had twins who will be 9 years old on 12th November 2022. Thank you for your song, it brought back lots of memories.
I heard your song on Radio2 and I sobbed. It’s a beautiful song but it brought back so many raw emotions for me. I’ve had 3 miscarriages over the last 3 years. Each as hard as the last one. I’m thankful to say I’m now 22 weeks pregnant but I’ll never forget our little angel babies. Thank you for raising awareness. There should be no taboo around baby loss xxx
This song made me stand still and think back to them times when I miscarried and think of my loss .. everyone talks pregnancy and birth but not of miscarriage and people avoid you after your loss .. Wow I’m in tears and the video is so real and the words they write are so true .. Beautiful song and thank you ❤️❤️
I have lost 4 babies - twins I miscarried, a baby I had a missed miscarriage and a managed miscarriage. The sooner you see a consultant after one miscarriage and not having to wait for 3 the better. When I fell for the 4th time the consultant prescribed low dose asprin - I now have a healthy 2 1/2 year old boy. I have never felt so alone after every miscarriage. People don't know what to say so they just don't talk to you about it or they avoid you. As a woman you feel such a failure that your body can't do what it is supposed to do. Beautiful song and I hope it helps people going through this to not feel so alone
We lost our first baby, our daughter, at 35 weeks out of nowhere due to a cord accident 2 months ago. Hasn't been a day without tears or a moment where she hasn't been on my mind. This is something we will carry on our shoulders for the rest of our lives. I'm so grateful music is being made to accompany us on a neverending journey that too many people get so unfairly thrown on. Gorgeous song. And so very true. I held her every second of her life, and I'll love her every moment of mine.
Me and my wife lost our little daughter 13 years ago her name is lilly and she was still born and its the hardest thing we have ever dealt with and it don't get easy just thinking what might have been for us,I Totally feel for people and understand everything they go through with the loss of a baby I never forget the date ever,God bless and stay strong and keep each other close.
I heard you on Radio 2 this morning and felt I had to watch the video. Such a powerful song with incredible lyrics. Although I am a 38 yr old lorry driver, I was brought to tears from hearing the stories this morning. Great song Lucy, you should be proud ❤❤
My friends have been trying to find a genre for this stuff. Advert music possibly but a music journalist friend came up with Smug and Drivel. S ,n,D. Look forward to your combo with Beans on Toast.
Listened to the interview with lucy on radio 2. Ive never had personal experience of this but I had to stop driving as I was in floods of tears through the interview. So so sad for all those people going through this, my heart goes out to you and to you lucy well done for raising this and writing such a beautiful song so full of emotion
Me and my wife have been through this twice. Once pre children 8 years ago and one right in the middle of having our 3 wonderful boys 3 years ago. Even as a dad the pain is still present and raw every single day and I know my wife feels the same. I shed a tear or two listening to this and watching the brave women and man tell their story feeling their pain with them.
Thank you so much Tom. It is so great to hear men talk about their grief in baby loss like you have, it is just as important for you to acknowledge the pain as the ones physically going through it. I feel for you 🤍
Oh my….. I heard this on Jeremy Vine (BBC radio 2) today & cried & cried. It’s 13 years since my most recent baby loss & it still hurts. Thank you for such a beautiful song
Hi Pippa, I am sure it does not get easier despite so many years, just like it says in the song. I am sending you love and wish I could give you a big cuddle 🤍 hope you’re ok
me and my wife lost our second baby janine on the 08 09 1983 she was fine till the birth she had her umbilical cord round her neck and they could not save her it was the worst night of our lives and we still hold her dear in our hearts we went on to have another little girl who has grown up to be a beautiful young lady we think about janine daily and when we heard your beautiful song we had a weepy moment thankyou
Thank you so much for this beautiful song and raising awareness. My step son and partner lost their beautiful baby Delilah, 2 years ago, born too early, but not breathing. It also awakens memories of my own loss, 24 years ago... 20 week scan, no heartbeat. Something I've kept shut away.... As heartbroken as I was, I was heartlessly told "it wasn't meant to be". I blamed myself, but had done everything right. It's not something I have ever spoken about but it's so amazing that these issues are talked about now! My heart is with all who have lost 💔
Hi Eve, I’m so sorry to your family for all your losses 🤍👼 we definitely need to get better at knowing what to say and more importantly what NOT to say in these cases. It is so difficult and I am sending you love, thank you for sharing this xx
Oh my goodness. So so sad but such an incredibly beautiful and difficult song and video to perform. My heart goes out to all of these brave people. As someone who went through many years of infertility in the 1980’s I went through incredible heartache month after month, but to get to that stage and then suffer baby loss is just unimaginable to me….💔💔
Brutally beautiful ❤️ Love to everyone, insanely painful. As a guy it's helped me a lot to talk, also gets easier/less awkward to chat about in time I promise 🤙
Thirty two years ago and I think about our lost baby all the time. It was my third baby and everyone told us how lucky we were that we already had two. I know we were lucky but it didn't stop me grieving and my arms aching for the baby I should have been holding. Six years later I gave birth to my youngest son. Also, my mother had a stillborn son in 1958, she was never given the opportunity to even see him. Even though my parents are no longer alive I make sure that my brother is not forgotten.
I have never faced the heartbreak of a miscarriage, but listening to this song on the Jeremy Vine radio show brought me to tears, my heart goes out to all who have experienced this. Thank you for raising awareness, may it help all those who have lost a beautiful young life to be able to talk about it and share that life with others.
Thank you for creating awareness and for breaking the taboo. One of the worst things about losing a baby is feeling alone and feeling that you can’t talk about it…I never want anyone to feel that way. It’s good to talk about these things as it can help others. Your song is so emotional and so beautiful and the people in the video have said everything that I and so many other people will have felt. Sending so much love to anyone who has lost a baby. The bit that gets me most is “I held you for every second of your life and I love you every moment of mine” -such a powerful line 💗
Hey Rebecca, Originally I wrote it very specifically for a couple without the intention of releasing it at all, but then when I knew how much it helped them put their feelings into words and I realised more people needed to hear it - precisely to let them know - they are not alone exactly like you say. I'm so glad you find some comfort in the song and thank you for your beautiful message xxxxx
Beautiful song, brought it all to the surface today on Radio 2, sobbing like a baby! My wife had 3 miscarriages , 1 successful pregnancy/birth then 1 ectopic and another 3 miscarriages. We got referred to Tommy’s….we now have another on the way🤞The pain never goes, just remains dormant until you hear other peoples heartache and it’s takes you right back. I think anyone who goes through this situation should be allowed to grieve with compassionate leave, it’s so hard for people to understand how difficult it is to overcome unless you’ve experienced this yourself 😢 It does seem to get more press these days which is great news, the more the better❤
On this past Monday I simultaneously found out I was pregnant with rare identical twins but that neither had a heartbeat at 10 weeks. I’m struggling so badly to cope with the loss of them. Thank you for this song. 💔
We found out the day after my second trimester. The day before we decided to tell extended family and friends since it was safer to tell people after 3 months but when I woke up that morning with blood down my legs I already knew. We rushed to the ER and after hours of waiting I was told they could not find a heartbeat. This was 2 months ago and not a day goes by where I don’t think of my angel. When I heard those words I wanted to die. I locked myself in our house and didn’t eat or drink, my boyfriend kept me alive even if he doesn’t know it. I asked my mom to tell family members because if I did I don’t think I would be alive today. I know it was not my fault and that this happens but I still feel guilty like I could have prevented it. I’m so sorry my baby I wish I could have been there for you and just hear your heartbeat one more time. Mommy loves you
Literally just caught a snippet of this in Liverpool Street station but was running for my train, spent 10 minutes searching using the lyrics and I’m glad I found this such a beautiful song
Omg this is amazing thank you so much!! I do that too with searching lyrics, I bet you didn’t think it was going to be an original 🥲 so glad you found me thank you Lewis
I've had 8 miscarriages (though I know I'm blessed to already have 5 children). My most recent one was just three weeks ago at 14+4. This is one of the songs I have been listening to almost daily to help me through my grief. It is so touching and hauntingly beautiful. This is the first time I've seen the video and I cried just as much as the first time I heard it. My heart goes out to all the parents who have lost babies, whether at 4 weeks or 40 weeks or after birth, no matter how long ago it happened. My grandma had miscarriages 60 years ago and she carried her grief silently for all that time until I spoke out about my first ones. It's a pain that never goes away.
I lost 3 babies in 5 years, I couldn't grieve for any of them. Your song has said everything that I have been unable to vocalise. Thank you for finally giving me the chance to grieve!🌈🌈🌈
I’ve just lost my baby girl on Sunday at 22 weeks and today going to sort her funeral I wanted to choose a song for her and this song has my heart 💔 thank you, I know she’ll love it. I’m so broken I miss her she was my miracle❤😣💔
Listen to this on Jeremy Vine show today, we nearly lost my daughter when she was a few months old. Luckily we didn't and she is now a 40yr old mother of two boys herself. But it still made me cry buckets of tears , I had to stop driving until I stopped crying.
Such a powerful song heard today on Jeremy Vine. My ex suffered two miscarriages in succession over 30 years ago. Now have 2 gorgeous daughters aged 25 & 31. Thanks Lucy & Jeremy for giving it air time
I can't begin to imagine the courage it took to share their experiences, my deepest condolences and heart-felt respect to everyone who took part in this incredibly emotional and moving project... Well done Lucy, you have written a beautiful song which is both moving and sensitive in equal measure
I heard you perform this on Jo Good’s Show on BBC Radio London this afternoon. What a beautiful song. I’m one of those who emailed Jo during your performance. Jo knows me and knows me and knows why this song means so much to me. Thank you.
If there was ever a song to try and explain to others how I feel or felt when we lost Elizabeth in December 2014, this song explains perfectly. We got to spend 3 precious hours with our daughter who was born sleeping at 19+3 weeks. I'll forever treasure counting her tiny 10 fingers and 10 tiny toes and getting to kiss her button nose 💗
What a beautiful song ❤️My daughter had a miscarriage i went through everything with her my heart 💔 when .... THERES NO HEARTBEAT IM SO SORRY😢💔 to my beautiful grand baby in the sky🌈 I loved you then,now and forever❤️
Should I send this to my sister who has had miscarriages? I heard it on the radio earlier with a discussion and just found it here. I don’t want to make her sad again but I also think it might help. It made me sad that I wouldn’t get to be an auntie even and I don’t even have children of my own, I can only imagine how painful it must be for the parents. They have decided to adopt rather than keep trying, which I think is wonderful if it’s right for them as they will give a child much needed love who might otherwise not get the same in the care system.
Hi Charlotte, It is up to you whether you share directly or indirectly by posting the video publicly - but either way I would just give a major trigger warning and explain it is about baby loss. I am really careful to do this whenever I post about it or sing it live because those who’ve gone through it really have to be in the right place to hear it. I hope this helps but if your gut tells you to talk to her about it, i think it’s a good idea ❤️
I heard about this on bbc radio 2 today I just had to find it and cried my partner has real trouble conceiving she had so many miscarriages and has two children out of nine pregnancies when we got together she had another miscarriage with me and seeing her in that pain I said I don’t want to see her in that pain ever again
Its been 33yrs since my daughter Tabitha died at a week old, it was really the hardest goodbye as was each time my brother and sister in law had another miscarriage.
Just want to say thank you to anyone watching this video and for listening to the hardest goodbye 🤍 I really hope it can help in some small way x
It speaks not just to those who have experienced miscarriage, but to those who have also lost a child, however old they were.
Just listened to your beautiful song on BBC radio 2, OMG I'm welling up here 😥
Luckily I've never went through this kind of heartbreak but have to say, what an amazing and powerful song and lyrically is so beautiful, your soft voice compliments it soo well, just amazing stuff and I'm sure many tears will be shed by hearing this, thanks for sharing
Just beautiful, my wife and had a miscarriage and a still born , many years ago , and our daughter last year had a miscarriage, pain never goes away , always in our thoughts, and thankyou for such a beautiful song x
@@limacharlie372 same here, teared up, very powerful.
I'm a 40yo lorry driver. Had to pull over from crying so much. Not ashamed to admit it. My wife had 3 miscarriages before my little girl was born. Beautiful song. Thank you.
Definitely should never be ashamed, thank you for being so open x
Never be ashamed.I am so glad it worked out in the end for both of you. Best wishes.

My daughter just shared this video with me. She lost a baby a few months ago. She is pregnant again, been counting the days until her first appointment. That day is tomorrow, just praying they hear a heartbeat and the baby is healthy.
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter, I really hope all is ok with this pregnancy xxx
So so glad to see a father too.not many people believe we hurt too x
We do. But we stay strong for our partners whilst grieving inside. Stay strong.

Same here matey 😎
52 year old man crying as my partner and I lost our son Alfie Jnr at 35 weeks in 2007 and he had to be still born. So touched by this song. Prayers and love to all those that has suffered this heartache that never truly goes away.
Thinking of both of you xxx
Thanks Lucy. Thanks, Jeremy. My wife had a miscarriage 32 years ago. After that, we had three beautiful children. One is a lecturer at Bristol Uni. The daughter is a Lawyer and the youngest son has just started the Uni. We are a very happy family but from time to time my mind goes back to 1991 and I think of the lost one, our beautiful Rainbow Baby Lanka and wonder what could have been. Lucy your song with powerful lines is so sad, but very beautiful at the same time. Thank you very much
Hi there wow, thank you so much for sharing I’m glad this song could reach you. It’s so important we acknowledge them even if you are lucky enough to go onto have children in the future - glad I could remind you today of your baby Lanka 🤍 xxxx
I lost my baby at 12 weeks ironically on Mothering Sunday 1975. I am now 76 years old and I cannot forget that awful day. However, I pray that we shall be reunited in Paradise.. What an inncredible song! Thankfully I did have a daughter a couple of years later who has been obsessed with rainbows all her life. Thank you. for creating this song.
Hi Ruth, wow that must be so so difficult, thank you for sharing this 🧡 I bet it never gets easier c
A beautiful song and mixing video and like others heard it on BBC Radio 2 this lunchtime and came to find it here.

I felt I had to be super strong for my wife but inside I was really hurting. Watched the video here today and started to sob. My thought for all the guys out there who have gone though a baby loss (and who unfortunately may do so in the future) is be strong for your partner but remember it’s also OK to cry and show emotion and also to open up to other people about it.
Thank you. I heard you on Radio 2 yesterday. Eimear and I have never believed in the don't tell anyone before 12 week 'rule'. We had miscarriage at 7 weeks 4 years ago.

Just listened to your interview with Jeremy Vine. My wife had 3 miscarriages after going through IVF for over 6 years. Eventually we had twins who will be 9 years old on 12th November 2022. Thank you for your song, it brought back lots of memories.
I heard your song on Radio2 and I sobbed. It’s a beautiful song but it brought back so many raw emotions for me. I’ve had 3 miscarriages over the last 3 years. Each as hard as the last one. I’m thankful to say I’m now 22 weeks pregnant but I’ll never forget our little angel babies. Thank you for raising awareness. There should be no taboo around baby loss xxx

We lost our first baby, our daughter, at 35 weeks out of nowhere due to a cord accident 2 months ago. Hasn't been a day without tears or a moment where she hasn't been on my mind. This is something we will carry on our shoulders for the rest of our lives. I'm so grateful music is being made to accompany us on a neverending journey that too many people get so unfairly thrown on.
Gorgeous song. And so very true.
I held her every second of her life, and I'll love her every moment of mine.

My friends have been trying to find a genre for this stuff. Advert music possibly but a music journalist friend came up with Smug and Drivel. S ,n,D.
Look forward to your combo with Beans on Toast.
Listened to the interview with lucy on radio 2. Ive never had personal experience of this but I had to stop driving as I was in floods of tears through the interview. So so sad for all those people going through this, my heart goes out to you and to you lucy well done for raising this and writing such a beautiful song so full of emotion

Oh my….. I heard this on Jeremy Vine (BBC radio 2) today & cried & cried. It’s 13 years since my most recent baby loss & it still hurts. Thank you for such a beautiful song
Hi Pippa, I am sure it does not get easier despite so many years, just like it says in the song. I am sending you love and wish I could give you a big cuddle 🤍 hope you’re ok
So did I, I had to stop driving to dry my eyes.
Thankyou for such a lovely song. I cant show this too my wife as it will be too much, so I watch it and cry for the both of us.
me and my wife lost our second baby janine on the 08 09 1983 she was fine till the birth she had her umbilical cord round her neck and they could not save her it was the worst night of our lives and we still hold her dear in our hearts we went on to have another little girl who has grown up to be a beautiful
young lady we think about janine daily and when we heard your beautiful song we had a weepy moment thankyou
I am so sorry, sending my love to you and your family and thinking of baby janine xxx

Amazing xx
This song is so sad yet so beautiful and I hope it gives some comfort to those listening who need it.
Oh my goodness. So so sad but such an incredibly beautiful and difficult song and video to perform. My heart goes out to all of these brave people. As someone who went through many years of infertility in the 1980’s I went through incredible heartache month after month, but to get to that stage and then suffer baby loss is just unimaginable to me….💔💔
Brutally beautiful ❤️
Love to everyone, insanely painful. As a guy it's helped me a lot to talk, also gets easier/less awkward to chat about in time I promise 🤙
It breaks my heart.
I have not felt your loss
I cry for all who have gone and are still? Sorry
Love to all.
This is an incredibly powerful video which says so much. Thank you to Lucy and to all of you sharing your deep thoughts with the baby loss community.
Thirty two years ago and I think about our lost baby all the time. It was my third baby and everyone told us how lucky we were that we already had two. I know we were lucky but it didn't stop me grieving and my arms aching for the baby I should have been holding. Six years later I gave birth to my youngest son.
Also, my mother had a stillborn son in 1958, she was never given the opportunity to even see him. Even though my parents are no longer alive I make sure that my brother is not forgotten.
I have never faced the heartbreak of a miscarriage, but listening to this song on the Jeremy Vine radio show brought me to tears, my heart goes out to all who have experienced this. Thank you for raising awareness, may it help all those who have lost a beautiful young life to be able to talk about it and share that life with others.
Thank you for creating awareness and for breaking the taboo. One of the worst things about losing a baby is feeling alone and feeling that you can’t talk about it…I never want anyone to feel that way. It’s good to talk about these things as it can help others. Your song is so emotional and so beautiful and the people in the video have said everything that I and so many other people will have felt. Sending so much love to anyone who has lost a baby. The bit that gets me most is “I held you for every second of your life and I love you every moment of mine” -such a powerful line 💗

I'm so glad you find some comfort in the song and thank you for your beautiful message xxxxx
This is a hugely touching song. Beautiful.
Beautiful song, brought it all to the surface today on Radio 2, sobbing like a baby! My wife had 3 miscarriages , 1 successful pregnancy/birth then 1 ectopic and another 3 miscarriages. We got referred to
Tommy’s….we now have another on the way🤞The pain never goes, just remains dormant until you hear other peoples heartache and it’s takes you right back.

On this past Monday I simultaneously found out I was pregnant with rare identical twins but that neither had a heartbeat at 10 weeks. I’m struggling so badly to cope with the loss of them. Thank you for this song. 💔
I hope you are doing ok xxxx
@@lucymaywalker 24 weeks tomorrow with my rainbow baby girl thankfully. 🩷
A beautiful song Lucy. I have three daughters and a four grandchildren so have never faced baby loss. My heart goes out to those who have...
Such a fabulous video. x
We found out the day after my second trimester. The day before we decided to tell extended family and friends since it was safer to tell people after 3 months but when I woke up that morning with blood down my legs I already knew. We rushed to the ER and after hours of waiting I was told they could not find a heartbeat. This was 2 months ago and not a day goes by where I don’t think of my angel. When I heard those words I wanted to die. I locked myself in our house and didn’t eat or drink, my boyfriend kept me alive even if he doesn’t know it. I asked my mom to tell family members because if I did I don’t think I would be alive today. I know it was not my fault and that this happens but I still feel guilty like I could have prevented it. I’m so sorry my baby I wish I could have been there for you and just hear your heartbeat one more time. Mommy loves you
Literally just caught a snippet of this in Liverpool Street station but was running for my train, spent 10 minutes searching using the lyrics and I’m glad I found this such a beautiful song
Omg this is amazing thank you so much!! I do that too with searching lyrics, I bet you didn’t think it was going to be an original 🥲 so glad you found me thank you Lewis
Love your voice Lucy. Absolutely breath taking.
I've had 8 miscarriages (though I know I'm blessed to already have 5 children). My most recent one was just three weeks ago at 14+4. This is one of the songs I have been listening to almost daily to help me through my grief. It is so touching and hauntingly beautiful. This is the first time I've seen the video and I cried just as much as the first time I heard it.
My heart goes out to all the parents who have lost babies, whether at 4 weeks or 40 weeks or after birth, no matter how long ago it happened.
My grandma had miscarriages 60 years ago and she carried her grief silently for all that time until I spoke out about my first ones. It's a pain that never goes away.
gosh, just so heartbreaking to read this I am so sorry for your losses. I am glad you are able to talk openly about it and I am thinking of you x
I lost 3 babies in 5 years, I couldn't grieve for any of them. Your song has said everything that I have been unable to vocalise. Thank you for finally giving me the chance to grieve!🌈🌈🌈
thank you so much for sharing jayne xxx
A very powerful song sung by a beautiful voice with sincerity..
Absolutely beautiful song xxx
thank you casey xx
The close up of the necklace was the bit that got me. This is such a powerful song and music video
I know, me too. Such a nice way to remember Charlie and it was Declan’s idea to get that shot ❤ subtle but moving right?
@@lucymaywalker yes it was certainly moving and it sounds like those involved had a central part in telling their stories through your lyrics
So sensitively worded. Thank you
I’ve just lost my baby girl on Sunday at 22 weeks and today going to sort her funeral I wanted to choose a song for her and this song has my heart 💔 thank you, I know she’ll love it. I’m so broken I miss her she was my miracle❤😣💔
Hi Molly, I am so sorry to hear this
Listen to this on Jeremy Vine show today, we nearly lost my daughter when she was a few months old. Luckily we didn't and she is now a 40yr old mother of two boys herself. But it still made me cry buckets of tears , I had to stop driving until I stopped crying.
Such a powerful song heard today on Jeremy Vine. My ex suffered two miscarriages in succession over 30 years ago. Now have 2 gorgeous daughters aged 25 & 31. Thanks Lucy & Jeremy for giving it air time
Beautiful song very touching wish you'd tour Liverpool or Manchester.
Heard you and this song on Jeremy Vine show today, such a lovely song, and so moving.
I can't begin to imagine the courage it took to share their experiences, my deepest condolences and heart-felt respect to everyone who took part in this incredibly emotional and moving project...
Well done Lucy, you have written a beautiful song which is both moving and sensitive in equal measure
I was in awe of every single one of them, they were amazing I don’t know how they did it
I heard you perform this on Jo Good’s Show on BBC Radio London this afternoon. What a beautiful song. I’m one of those who emailed Jo during your performance. Jo knows me and knows me and knows why this song means so much to me. Thank you.
Thanks Paul for your beautiful messages I have seen them all and I am so touched by you sharing. Glad the song could be of some comfort to you x
Heard this song today whilst driving...beautiful song...and I know the pain of miscarriage even tho it was over 30 years ago...a beautiful song 💗
If there was ever a song to try and explain to others how I feel or felt when we lost Elizabeth in December 2014, this song explains perfectly.
We got to spend 3 precious hours with our daughter who was born sleeping at 19+3 weeks. I'll forever treasure counting her tiny 10 fingers and 10 tiny toes and getting to kiss her button nose 💗
I lost my baby girl just 4 weeks ago due to PPROM…born at 26+4 but I couldn’t have her 💔🥀
Really sorry to hear this Claudia ❤️ thinking of you xxxx
oh my goodness 😭😭😭😭
What a beautiful song ❤️My daughter had a miscarriage i went through everything with her my heart 💔 when .... THERES NO HEARTBEAT IM SO SORRY😢💔 to my beautiful grand baby in the sky🌈 I loved you then,now and forever❤️
Should I send this to my sister who has had miscarriages? I heard it on the radio earlier with a discussion and just found it here. I don’t want to make her sad again but I also think it might help. It made me sad that I wouldn’t get to be an auntie even and I don’t even have children of my own, I can only imagine how painful it must be for the parents. They have decided to adopt rather than keep trying, which I think is wonderful if it’s right for them as they will give a child much needed love who might otherwise not get the same in the care system.
Hi Charlotte,
It is up to you whether you share directly or indirectly by posting the video publicly - but either way I would just give a major trigger warning and explain it is about baby loss. I am really careful to do this whenever I post about it or sing it live because those who’ve gone through it really have to be in the right place to hear it. I hope this helps but if your gut tells you to talk to her about it, i think it’s a good idea ❤️
The song story/background aside, this lady could be the next Adele with the right exposure. Her singing is just on another level.
that's so kind, thank you!
I heard about this on bbc radio 2 today I just had to find it and cried my partner has real trouble conceiving she had so many miscarriages and has two children out of nine pregnancies when we got together she had another miscarriage with me and seeing her in that pain I said I don’t want to see her in that pain ever again
Its been 33yrs since my daughter Tabitha died at a week old, it was really the hardest goodbye as was each time my brother and sister in law had another miscarriage.
🙏❤️
I heard this on Jeremy vine radio then i seen the video 😢
