    As someone who has attempted suicide multiple times... just know we don’t want to die because we don’t love those around us ... it’s because we don’t love what’s going on *inside* of us❤️

      It's been awhile for me, but I remember my mom (and sometimes dad) listening to her at night on drives home which for me "hooked" on listening to her. I hope and pray that her son Zach is not the son with/that had ADHD/ADD. I remember her talking about that soon a few times. I think Zach was the son though...

    I grew up a shy, lonely, depressed person. I have to say I have thought, at times, noone would miss me if I ended it all. But I did not, I could not. I don't have the guts to hurt myself. I am 53. I have 3 sons. I still suffer from depression. I GOT HELP! I could never leave my family. I LOVE them too much to put them through that. GET HELP- think of your friends and family. They love ♡ you and would miss you. A piece of them dies if you do. Their life would be shattered.♡ Delilah, God bless you and your family! ♡

  • @imabigsimp9445

    I used to listen to her all the time. I was depressed and my mom had this radio in the room and she will always leave it on for me and I remember her playing this. And I fell in love with this. I would always stay up and listen to all the things she said. And I felt it. She really helped me. I’m now 12 and I’m more happier.

  • @katieburton570
    @katieburton570 6 років тому +13

    People like her inspire me so much! I love her because her message is so true. Love is the answer! Going on riots or hurting someone one or being mean to them bc you don’t like them, what they believe in, their religion, their sexuality, their race, and more doesn’t help! Instead of hate just love! If we all love one another and except each other we wouldn’t have as many sad stories like this in our world💗

She’s been through so much, and she takes everything she’s gone through and uses it to leave a positive impact on our world. We need more beautiful souls like this. She has this way of always seeing the good in even the worst of scenarios. She can always find the positives, and she uses her platform to help change this world for the better. Such an amazing woman 💙💙💙

She always has made some sort of a solution or a lift to her listeners. I had no idea as to what she looked like. Had no idea she was a blonde. Always pictured her as a brunette. At any rate, I wish Delilah and the rest of her family all the very best,,, as she tries to do for all she comes in contact with. God Bless her son and family
