In 2011, I lost my wife of 14 years to suicide, leaving my 4 kids without their mother. It devastated our family. As a result My only daughter killed herself on 12/28/22, 3 weeks short of her 22nd birthday. Suicide sucks. It. Destroys the families left behind. If you are struggling with it, please get help. Otherwise you're transferring your pain to the people who love you, that are left to deal with the consequences of your actions. You ARE loved. Please don't hurt the people who love you by hurting yourself.
I have always loved this song. I just saw this video and it took my breath. I found my husband with a self inflicted GSW. Spent the rest of his time in a hospital room going back and forth between heart break and anger. I let him go on the 6th day. Never.gets any easier. I type this thru tears. Please, PLEASE seek help. Reach out.. I know it may not seem like it but you ARE loved. You ARE important. The devastation of those left behind is immense. He was 23. Way too young to say goodbye. Thanks to Chris for bringing this very important issue to the surface. Its a hard one to deal with on so many different levels. Those of you who need to hear this listen: please stay. Choose life. Today may be the worst day of your life.. Tmrw may be the BEST. Once this decision is made its irrevocable.. Please stay.
Been recently listening to this song and just now watched this video. I’m crying as I write. Been married to my beautiful wife for 23 years. She’s battled depression, anxiety and PTSD throughout. For us as men, we’re able to fix things, broken faucets, cars, home repairs etc. To see the love of your life have these struggles and know you can’t fix them leaves you with the most helpless feeling ever. All we can do is be there and do our best to understand their struggles. I do understand to some degree after losing my father as a child and how hard just getting out bed was. Stay strong and don’t give up everyone. God Bless and stay safe.
As a woman who is struggling with this with her husband I am truly sorry. stay strong to you and anyone reading this. stay strong as the caregiver and the person hurting. I been both. I am so sorry.
Brother, you can fix them. If your wife is unhappy at all, it is because of you!! You just need more excitement in life! Give her a new reason to remember why she fell in love with you in the first place. Much love bro. You got this. 👊
This song is not about depression... This song is about unconditional love. The video depicts a man loving his wife in the hardest times imaginable. This video adds so much to the song. Absolutely incredible. I am a musician that struggles fiercely with depression and suicidal thoughts. And this video just hit home for me. Love it.
Mike Scully; You hit the proverbial Nail on the head brother. This song is about the unconditional love for your spouse regardless. If we could just remember real & true love, is not conditional.
❤ There is all the strength we need in His name ❤ I pray for your healing and for you to take back your shine and your place on this ride that which is the greatest gift to us.
I just found this song. I can feel it with everything in me. I have severe depression and ptsd. My childhood broke me. I'm now 34 and trying to pick up the pieces. Pray for me guys.
So often we feel like our traumas and past have made us "bad people" but in reality, they make us resilient. You are not broken, even if it feels like it....You are strong for what you've endured and conquered. You are a survivor. Continue your journey of healing knowing that we are loving you, you are not alone ❤️
Everyday week I pray for people like you. People in situations I know nothing about but still feel guilty about. I will pray for you too. God bless you.
Ezra I know things are pretty dire right now and I don’t know how to keep going when everything seems to be falling apart. But I’m not going to stop trying because in this life the thing that I’m sure of is that I have to be here for you. So I’m not going to leave.
Hold onto her, support her and be there just stay. She will make it through. I promise you. My personal struggles with mental illness have always been a part of the reason why no one wanted me and everyone gave up on me. Once I realized I had to not give up on myself that’s when I knew… if you love her then just stay. 😊God bless you and prayers for a long beautiful life ♥️
God please place your hand on this guys wife. Depression is hard for both her and him so please camo your angels around them both. Give her peace that surpasses all understanding. I lift them both up in your name. Amen
I’m a 19 year vet of Birmingham police department and I lost my wife on March 14 2019 do to mental illness. This video crushed me in 2016 and I didn’t know y. I cried my eyes out with my then girlfriend. Mental illness touches us all right now it’s on me. Anyone who needs too talk please talk to me I need it and so do you! Love to all
Reminds me of my friend Bradley, she suffered from depression. She had her highs and lows threw the years, she killed herself 4 years ago. She tried to get treatment, doctors labled her as a drug seeker and send her home with nothing, she self medicated with street drugs and booze. It is sad to think that life is that bad you dont want to live, and it is hard for those left behind. This song and video really touched me.
Jon Phillips Thank you for your kind words. I miss my friend, I regret I could not help her. I am in the medical field but there are very limited resources for mentally ill. Depression is an elephant in the room and goes undiagnosed far too many times. I pray for awareness to this terrible disease.
Tammy Renee Moore that is a very true statement that you made about people giving up on life to medicate themselves and that's the bottom of the bottle it's always empty because we think too hard and not really searching for the answers but when you she had a good friend like yourself just remember she's watching you she just couldn't help herself didn't have no one to really lean on an open heart I thought about suicide years ago and I was one drugs pills and alcohol the guy told me has something better for me and I begin to draw you got very good at it and then I have a clothing line coming out this year the clothing line is call Jelani please look out for me support me has I will support any other artists make our Dream Come True God bless everyone have a great day
Tammy Renee Moore I knw what the sad life of depression and emotional problems can do to a person and anyone who lives that person . But your friend not in pain anymore
I dated a woman with depression and at times it dominated her existence. She would constantly thank me for “putting up” with her. I never looked at it that way. I just loved her. Sadly she has since passed on to a better place. For you Baby Girl, for you.
Sorry for your loss, I have major depression & PTSD, this song hits me hard. Cause I feel the meaning of this song. I've suffered from depression from before i was 13 yr old. I wish my BF i have now knew how to deal with my depression, he gets mad and makes it worse. I'm sure you was a blessing to her.
I've been with two men in my life that's dealt with depression that sadly 😥 😔 took my ex he was in the war in Afghanistan he was a paratrooper and I knew him from Highschool. But we got together after our marriages didn't work out and I didn't realize then how bad it was. The thoughts of suicide is what I mean. I seen what the war had done and I was just 21 at the time he was 23 went in as soon he was 18. So he came home and it just hurts thinking bk. He had flash backs, insomnia like very severe. And I didn't know what I was getting myself into but I loved him very very much. But we split for other reasons to work on ourselves and whatnot and we kept in touch but I wrote him maybe a wk before it happened checking in on him and my sister wakes me up to tell me he was gone and I thought it was a cruel joke. But it wasn't. I knew him being alone was the worst thing for him mentally. He lived w me but I moved out if my apartment w the lease was up so he moved bk in w his parents until he had bought his own home. And that's where he took his life. I blamed myself idk why but I did. And this song makes me think of hom so much. My ex husband also deals with self harm and depression very badly. I mean to the point of askin me w he used to drink to say I was okay with it and we have a daughter together. It breaks my heart he feels this way. 💔 😢 we have known each other now the majority of our lives and thankfully he's not drinking anymore but it still worries me at times. About the depression or starting to drink again and getting in his head. I just pray, check in on him and hope for the best. I want him to be happy even tho I couldn't make us work. He still has a beautiful daughter we share. Depression is tough I deal with it in a daily since I was around 8. But I don't get suicidal doesn't mean I haven't been. But if you're ever feeling that way, it's not the answer it will literally devastate your loved ones. As much as you think nobody cares people do. It's not the answer I promise you it's not.
I can not make it through this song without bawling like a baby my mom has suffered with mental illness and my dad has stood by her side through all the storms!!
That's what's missing from this video is the kids, I went through this with wife for years and the hardest part for me was trying to save her and the kids at the same time. I eventually paid for her to live in a separate house that was near by so she could see the kids during her good days. It's a real helpless feeling you try and do right by both because you love them. The good moments can be so great and the bad moments can suck away your soul. As hard as it was I had to break it off after 15 years it was doing to much damage to everyone. After living separate for 10 years we finally divorced, I got the kids and she got half of everything I had. Turns out she had been having relationships behind my back the whole time. The best years of my life wasted the good news is I got two great kids out of it. Give your dad a hug and let him know he's special and so are you girl hope things get better for all of you. "The people some people fall in love with"
Please know that you are loved here and beyond this world. There is more to this life with Jesus. Please, please, please seek him. He loves you beyond words!!!
Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you dont feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!"
I’ve suffered with depression and anxiety for most of my life. 2 failed suicide attempts, dozens of doctors, counselors, therapist, and medications later, I finally found a doctor who helped. That was 10 years ago and while I still have bad days/weeks/months, I thank God every single day my suicide attempts failed. I’ll be 63 years old this year and I’m living my best life. Help is out there but it’s a very long, hard journey. Please don’t ever give up on yourself. You ARE worth the effort ❤
+Todd Tackett lol im scared 😱...what im trying to say is that music is the best way artists express themselves and if someone saids music needs saving they really dont respect the way artists express themselves
+Baflbruno opinions are okay and you're allowed to express yours. We certainly appreciate it. In this case my opinion is that Chris is saving music. Thanks and have a great day.
This song is my life. Through my battle with depression I have lashed out at my husband, thrown things at him and locked myself in a room with a knife and a bottle of pills. He never once left and would hold me until I exhausted myself when I went wild. He is the sole reason I am here today and better then I have ever been. He monitors my meds and loves me despite it all. Thank you Chris Stapleton for honoring our loved one that live and suffer with us.
Mine was there for 15 yrs I honestly thought id nwver find someone who would love me with all my battles in my mind and he did right up until god stole him from me with a fatal stroke that I now know was caused by the stress i put him thru so in the end I killed the one person that was always my rock and im now so alone and miss him and want to be where he is
I've struggled with depression and anxiety since I was 15. I'm now 37, and it's still a battle. It just sucks when sometimes you feel like you just can't win!!
this song is about depression she cldnt fight the demons and he stood by her side until the end..pay attention to every sign if you can do something...
I didn't see it. My daughter recently committed suicide... I knew she was going through a lot but every time I saw her she seemed to be okay. Wish I could have stopped her
Jaded Star , I'm so sorry. Prayers for you and your family. I lost someone very close to suicide a year ago. My son has bipolar, and he's had several attempts. Mental health services need to change. They are failing too many people.
God damn this video is an emotional one.. but this is country. Real problems.. real people. Not everything is fuckin tan legs swinging from a tailgate in the moon light sipping fireball. Country is the music of soul, life, hardship, the appriciation of the things you already have, and the voice of coping with what you have lost. Life isn't always a fuckin party.
Country music was my next transition from metal music. I don't know how but it's quite enjoyable and really speaks to the heart. Always do love to go back in time and listen to some of the old bands
My best friend of 25 years took his life 52 days ago. I was the last person he talked to. We got off the phone at 8:37am; at 11:49am, I think he's callin' me back. It was his folks callin' me from his phone to tell me he was gone. Sometimes, the signs are not there. Hug your loved ones, and let them know how much they mean to ya.

i don't have a personal connection to the holocaust so although that is sad, this has more relatable sentiment to it.. hence for me this is sadder than the afore mentioned video..
I hit bottom with anxiety in 2003. I got to the point where I had so much mental pain that I understood why people kill themselves although I never actually tried to. I was buried in hopelessness and despair. It took me five years to learn my way out of it, but I did it!! What gave me hope was listening to others that made it out. If I can do it, you can too! When I was finally able to put my thoughts together I started writing songs about the things I had learned. Love yourself! Take care of yourself! Treasure yourself! And let everything else go!! It's about your thoughts and beliefs. Pay attention to them, and allow yourself to change them to something that feels good. Follow your heart, and let go of everything you've ever been taught. Your heart knows best!💞 Lots of love, Shelley😊
I wonder if Mr. Stapleton realizes how many lives he has saved out of the 19 million views this song has? One right here. God makes no mistakes and puts people (angels) in the right spot at the right time. This I know. Keep on keeping on!!
I have frequented this comments section more than I want to admit in these last 8 years.. this song and yalls testimony's yall upload daily is the only thing that keeps me going. The struggle is real; however, if anyone needs to talk, l'm always here to listen. If you’re struggling like me, just know that I love you and your life matters.
This comment stood out to me. I’m not sure why, but I thank you for taking the time to share. Maybe we were meant to cross paths…I don’t know. But thank you, regardless. Life is hard. I’m here as well❤
That was an amazing way of showing how being married to someone with anxiety or/and depression. Chris captured the highs and lows. I haven’t cried to a music video in a long time but I had to cry for this one.
Prob borderline personality disorder, I have it and this is the hell my husband deals with. I thought it was depression but it's actually more complex and the spouse will suffer just as much. Sad video..
As a female veteran with chronic ptsd,this song hits my soul. I am a two time survivor of domestic violence. I met someone back in 2019 through a mutual acquaintance. Fast forward to now and we are living this song to some degree. I pray that it gets better. He has shown me that not every man is a scumbag. I am madly and wholeheartedly in love with him.
I have fought the monsters alone for many yrs until 2013 when i met my husband.... he has fought a many monster with me but with at my side those monsters aint hard to fight anymore
I’ve been through so much childhood abuse trauma getting incarcerated at age 16 for 20 years. Just chasing love and being excepted in all the wrong places. Multiple suicide attempts. Not wanting to live anymore. I’ve began to gain my life back little pieces at a time but still nobody understands the pain I’ve been through. Now I’m 39 and have severe arthritis to the point I hurt everyday and have to take medication for arthritis which prevents me from ever becoming a father. Idk what I’ve done to deserve all this pain. Even now at times I wonder if I’m better off not being here. But I’ve found God and now have a godly family so things are slowly becoming better. If you could please pray for me please
Anti-inflammatory foods should help with the arthritis. Vitamin B-12(methylcobalamin) and D3 with K2 for depression. Sunshine is the best source of Vitamin D when you are able to get it-without toxic sunscreens. Do your own research as much as possible. Prayers for you and family.
You've got this and when it becomes too much to handle hit your knees and ask God for strength, He is there waiting on you, just ask Him. If He brings you to it He will bring you through it!! Recovering IV junkie, had a lot of childhood trauma too, lots of times I wanted to end my life. But today I'm so Grateful and Thankful that He pulled me through it all. Been clean for 15 years, I have 2 amazing kids and they gave me 3 wonderful grandbabies. I'm so Blessed and so are you. There's a reason you are still here. I deal with back pain every day, but it's certainly better than not being around for my loved ones. You'll be in my prayers, we are always stronger than we think we are, but if you ever need that extra strength HE will give it to you. God Bless you🌸
As a mental health professional student, this speaks volumes to me. I love this and the amount of light it sheds on the illnesses that so many people suffer from many times alone and in darkness. Loving someone with a mental illness completely consumes you and it also sheds light on that as well. There is hope for the hopeless, you just have to seek it.
Chris Stapleton. Idk if you'll ever read this. But know this video has let me put a visual on the suffering I go through when I am hitting that low point. Thank you for this video and just to know I am more. And survive another day..... I fire away... Everyday.....
You ARE someone Ashley Noonan and you have no idea how many lives you have touched and changed just by being here and being a part of life. You matter to this world - don't ever let the illness lie to you and tell you that you don't. Big hugs to you :)
+Kerry Feland I there was a like button for your comment. I don't know either one of you, but that was amazing and uplifting. I can be a true jackass most of the time, but I do actually try to see the good and importance in all people. Thank you.
Thank you Matt for your kind words. My daughter is bipolar so I live the life in this song and I know the people who are ill will start to feel and think that they are not worth anything but that is just not true - they are worth everything to all of us. People miss seeing so much beauty, kindness and love in others when they close their minds....I just keep trying to open the doors that others keep trying to shut.
+Kerry Feland I know what you mean. My girlfriend is bipolar. I love her to death. It scares me when he gets in one of her moods. I am afraid she will hurt herself. She cuts herself and talks about how ugly her scars are. I look her in her eyes an I always tell they are beautiful just like her. I know the Lord is watching over her from heaven. I truly believe they are God's Angels. We are there protectors.
My girlfriend, one of the most amazing people on this earth, was badly abused as a child and as a result has dissociative identity disorder ("multiple personalities" although the right term is dissociative identities). She struggles with chronic derealization and depression/suicidal ideation and ocd too. Loving someone so much and so unconditionally, despite how much they struggle, can really fucking hurt. All you want is for them to get better and be okay, but it's never that easy. There are nights when I'm scared I'll wake up the next day to see she's gone. She deserves to live and be okay. She deserves to feel like the world around her is real and not just some dream, like her derealization tells her. She's suffered enough and I want us to have a happy ending, because her beginning sure as hell wasn't. It's unfair as all fuck and sometimes all I can do is cry and curse at the world for putting this on her and on us. If anyone sees this, and if any of you believe in God, I do ask that you send out a prayer for her recovery. Shit can be so hard. I'll be praying for any of you that need it too. update almost a year later: we are no longer together - not because of her mental health though! nothing bad. we are still very good friends, but the actual relationship wasn’t working because our respective long term goals weren’t compatible. she is recovering every day. very, very slowly, but i see the little bits of progress every time we see each other. things still aren’t easy for her at all, but i can see them getting there. stay strong everybody.
Praying for her & praying even harder for you. It’s hard to bare witness to these things, to not be able to fix all the hurt. You’ve both got this. Lots of love.
Prayers for healing in Jesus name amen. Tell her I tried it wouldn't fire now my children are grown I'm raising my granddaughter. I had lost my little boy 2 years old I was a mess. Jesus came to me in a vision showed me my son on his lap then he run off with the other children in a huge meadow. I still miss him. I know he's in heaven. I cry every birthday holiday ..I pray
I feel this song everyday of my life. I have anxiety, trauma, complex PTSD and depression. I get tired. Its hard not to just drown. Everyone chin upur in my thoughts
Keep breathing and make sure you keep rolling all music back to back ..if you wanna dialogue more my first digit is 616 followed by 675 then 298 and 7.
This song has touched me like no other It's been almost 7yrs since I lost my fiance to suicide and even now every day is still a struggle. When we met she was the light that saved me from a dark place. She taught me so much about life and myself. She was my forever and I feel as though I failed her by not being able to save her like she did me. I lost a big piece of me that day that I will never get back. I am just grateful for all the memories that I will always have to look back on.
On November 25, 2021 I lost my best friend and true soul mate.I couldn't save him. I keep asking myself what more I could have done. I'm pretty broken right now.The thought that brings me comfort is knowing he is at peace. .
I'm sorry for your loss, about 8 months ago I found out my wife of nearly 10 years tried to commit suicide for the second time that I know of. I was sitting in my Office in tears because she wouldn't let me in and I was feeling like I failed too.
You didn't fail her........ if a person wants to go then no one can or will stop them. Release yourself my friend, you can't carry that load, it's too much for anyone!!!!!
@Russell Western that is exactly right. You didn't fail them. The depression overcame them. You can't save someone if they don't want to be saved. People with depression are ill. It's like a broken arm. Could you fix someone with a broken arm? No, you don't have the skill set. Depression is a broken mind. The thoughts you have are not true or normal, because depression is telling them, you don't really mean it, you would be better off without them, or with someone who isn't sick. The thought process in depression is not telling you the truth.
ITs called country music. Its amazing stuff, went dormant for about 20 years but is coming back strong. Probably wont find it on many "country stations"
It will always. The human condition is filled with dependency, need, thirst for fulfillment, value, lack of empathy, disconnection,.........but for some reason the man is discounted. Imbalance is real.
Literally had this happen to me with my bestfriend her dad kept beating her and she kept getting bullied she said enough called me and said im done i knew what she meant so i fucking superman my ass over there but it was too late.. 😢😭😭 she Amanda Todd herself..
If y'all think he's the only one y'all should look up other guys also...jason boland...whiskey Myers...JAB...scooter brown...wade bowen...randy rogers!!!
fire away. I keep firing and he's there to take them. he's been my rock for the last 10 yrs. he's my strength and my rock. I love you baby. thank you for being there for me.
I’m a wreck. Lost my husband of 25 years , then our daughter to fentanyl.. all the last few years. But my new husband of 6 months is my hero.. I see this and he is the one that carries me.. I love him so much… but I’m struggling..
Hold on to what you got 🖤 and remember what you had🖤 now believe in the future and what is possible 🖤 I am sorry for your losses. I am grateful for your gains and I am excited to see how you adjust to make your future showcase all of those things.
My husband lost his life to suicide 4 years ago. On our 15-year anniversary, he was in a locked psych unit, and when I went in to see him, he didn't recognize me. He ended his life 4 months later after coming out of this year-long manic episode. This song reaches me to my core.

I hesitated to share but it goes... I absolutely love my wife, been married for 10yrs, we are best friends, inseparable and enjoying life together and some don't understand why we are always together, but we crave each other and truly enjoy our friendship, love and energy. We both have our childhood history which damaged us, and I have my PTSD / TBI from the Marines and deal with those demons, yet I put them aside to deal with hers as well, trying to be strong for our relationship when she drinks and damages it. I deal with her toxic behavior every 4- 6 months since the beginning and I will continue to do so until it kills me. My wife is therapy, which I fully support but it works for a few months and then she loses herself when she can't control her alcohol. I know why she loses control, and I want to be there for her and let her know she's stronger than this and don't allow her past to control and destroy her / our future. I've tried everything to help her.... I'm exhausted and wanting to check out myself but I don't....
Mental health and addiction go hand in hand. It is so hard to watch someone you love going through it all. Take care of yourself and be there for her. I am sure it's a difficult balance. I lost one son indirectly due to drugs seven years ago. I also have a daughter who struggles with mental health. She has talked about suicide several times and she's only 20. She's on a high does of meds for bipolar depression, which I guess helps. These are two of my four kids. I always feel so helpless. I have learned to just love them, and be there for them. And, I've learned I cannot control what they think or do... songs like this help. Hang in there, sir.
I've never seen anything so closely resemble my life. The only difference would be that when I lost my daughter I lost my mind and my will to live. It was this.. this insanity..and still he stayed. This was 6 years ago and I finally started to find my way back and my stomach ruptures...and for the first time I watched this beautiful, strong man I'm married to cry and literally beg me to survive..so I am. I will never understand why God gave me this man or why he still loves me like this 22 years and the death of a child later, but God knows how grateful I am. He's the reason I know we truly have soul mates.
@@teddybroosevelt6826 awww Teddy..what you chose not to see is that I'm still here, still loved by many and still not ever intimidated or even a little hurt by someone like you. I can already tell what a sad, perpetually single and incredibly lonely life you live by this simple comment...the actual need for attention..which is so desperately needed on your part that you'll even take scraps of negative attention versus none at all. You keep eating your feelings, pittying yourself and raging at the world over things you perceive as unfair and I'll keep being me. Loved, happy and confident enough to know how very little you matter. Hugs and prayers.
@@teddybroosevelt6826 Quite the opposite. It is you seeking the attention and no doubt, you'll receive it precisely for your soulless comment. Enjoy the fame.
This song is so beautiful, but this video is like a car crash you don't want to see but you can't turn away from. I've seen it a hundred times, and I still can't turn away. This is Art.
Yes and living with somebody like this is like watching a train wreck you want so much to stop it but there is nothing you can do besides cry when it crashes
Kacey Musgraves has a really good country album too. It's new, but it's written from the heart by her and just a few other people. She keeps the same band, and they have respect for original country's sound while still being current. Her last album was equally as good.
Keep breathing and make sure you keep rolling all music back to back ..if you wanna dialogue more my first digit is 616 followed by 675 then 298 and 7.
this song reminds me of my relationship ...my man saves me daily i struggle with bipolar n suicidal thoughts DAILY. he is my hero. this song means alot to me
best of luckxxxx life wont be as fun if your not around to enjoy it.. hold your man like he holds you and enjoy your lifes together maranda.. its short enought huni..:)
This video is very powerful , and it is intended to bring awareness to mental illness and how it destroys a person's life , not only that person , but all the family around them , There is a time and need to seek Help , before the tragic ending takes place , just like in the heart wrenching video. Do not be ashamed to ask for help. It just might save your life, or someone else you love and don't want to lose. Thankyou to "Chris" for bringing this in to full view.
+Kerry Feland : my cousin is a medical examiner , suicide is a reality that M.E's encounter frequently , If someone would have just stepped into their life and took them by the hand and got them help , this can be prevented. Or if that person realise them self it's time to ask others for help , that is the 1st step to recovery.
I live this every day. My daughter is bipolar. This video puts into view what cannot be described to someone who is not living with this. To get help is not as easy as others would like you to believe and even the people within the system are not always the help you think they are. Someone who is going thru depression needs at least one voice in their corner to stand up for them, protect them and help them to get to that help. It is as much of a battle for the caregiver as it is for the person suffering with the depression. I've been asked for years by the professionals how I've managed to keep going and being there for my daughter. Simple answer....when I look around, there is no one else there except me and God to help her.
Agreed Ms. Glenda!! "Chris" is bringing country music back. I think he is very talented. Music is a huge influence in society. He brought awareness to a much needed cause.
As someone who suffers from depression along with bpd, This song gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it cause I can feel his words.. ❤
Music is special - I wish I had some magical words for you…but I also appreciate how different we all are. Maybe look for the littlest bits of joy and try to build from there? Strive to smile…it can be contagious if you allow it!
I'm going through a divorce right now. I've heard this song a million times but hearing it right now just brought a flood of emotion. We're all just humans trying to make it. Keep going. I am! And so should you! Please let this be a sign for you 🫶🏾
@8806Erica So am I… after 24 years. I’m not sure if I will ever get over this shock. It’s like a death. You just wake up and remember it again every single day and feel sick. I was told a week before our anniversary right after coming out of a hospital that I had been in, due to suicidal ideations. He is seeing someone currently, which is the least of my concern. I would rather not be here at all, than know that he didn’t love me
Though i was already a Stapleton fan, i didn't realize what the song was about until i saw the video tonight. I'm a veteran of two wars, and i think, in part, i brought my ptsd home to my wife. Our problems had been going on for years, and after my last deployment we decided to get a divorce. A few days before her next birthday she committed suicide, and my son and i found her. He was 12. The last several years have been the hardest of our lives, but we've persevered. We've limped along, but we've made it so far. My son is in college and i am now with a woman who is wonderful and able to heal us both. The pain, the struggle my son and i feel will never be over. His mother will not be there to congratulate him on his graduation, or to kiss his cheek when he gets married, or whisper sweet words to his babies. We will have to make do with what she might have said, or done. She would have been a light on his world, and mine. Please, if you feel you can't go on, keep going. Just walk on. If you feel you can't walk another mile, please find a way to crawl. Crawl until you're able to walk again. Someday the sun will shine on you again. If you go, the pain you will leave behind will eclipse the good you did, the sweet memories you could have left. Don't leave. Just hang on. I promise it'll get better. We love you. Be here.
that's a very touching song!! what blows my mind is there is multiple thousands that dislike it ?? how in the world can even one person dislike that song and or video????
BC the ones that don't like the song obviously don't know what being "REAL" IS ABOUT. SO UNTIL THEY LEARN TO BE REAL WITH THEMSELVES,. THEY NEVER WILL LEARN TO RESPECT ANYTHING THAT MIGHT REPRESENT REALIZISM
Amen brother I am currently fighting stage 4 cancer and sometimes I moan all night long in pain and my wife is there for me I feel bad for her because if it was the other way around I would be there for her but it would hurt me so much to see her go through it
The love of my life is bi-polar, depressed and harms herself. We are both almost 30 years old with an 11 month old daughter and idk what to do. I love her so much and don't want to leave her when she needs me the most but it's starting to affect us long term and our daughter. 😢
My heart goes our to everyone who is suffering from depression and mental illness. I will be praying for you guys that God lifts those chains off of you. Keep fighting you are loved.😢
Thank you from ireland as a sufferer it is not easy, and to hell with anyone who knocks it, i was brought up in a generation where the word depression was never talked about u were just in a bad mood, like hell i was, scared to say i feel depressed because u would of got laughed at or punched and told to catch yourself on, i was in my mid 40's before i addressed the problem and being an alcoholic didnt help near 5 yrs sober, and being treated properly for depression, iv found myself living in a city somewhere i never thought id ever live as im a country boy, but the count of 13,14,15,16yrs taking there own lives absolutly shocking scares me more needs to be done tell ur wee boys its ok to cry, wont make u any less of a man will make u a better man, rant over nice to hear of someone commenting like u just did we appreciate it thank you 💚💚💚💚💚💚🇮🇪
I have bipolar depression and am currently fighting one of those debilitating lows of the depression. Literally laying here crying 😢 this is so well done and done with great accuracy of those peaks and valleys for sure.
I would rather go blind and lose all my limbs than lose my ability to listen to music!! Sooooo grateful that for thhis gift since many cannot or just unable to FEEL this passion i would re live my painful childhood 20 times over than live without this kind of talent
My girlfriend is like this, bipolar disorder, major depression and anxiety. Being on call all the time as a firefighter it gets very scary to leave her alone sometimes. I love her so much, she has good days and bad days, but she's so unpredictable. She is a good person. If only she say her self worth through my eyes.
Jackaroo Dundee i also have all 3 of those things... Its hard. Make sure there's always something at home with her. Like something to keep her from feeling alone. Don't let the silence get to her. If she tries shit she needs to go to the hospital. Its a dark feeling. And she probably doesn't want to go but usually meds work for bipolar. Its well studied. I have a lot of friends like this and they ended up going to the hospital for a while why they started lithium usually. Its like magic a lot of the time. I'm sorry just this songs got me emotional as hell. And i just wanna do litteraly anything I can do to help. Ik what its like being her. Its hell but it really is possible to escape the darkest part. Its just hard. Best if luck man.
You are an amazing human for having the strength and courage to care for someone with a mental illness. As one of those people myself I always worry I will scare away the ones I love, but this goes to show that we can be loved. And people do care, and we appreciate that more than you can imagine.
Mental illness is not a joke or something you can "get over" as ive been told so many times. Me and my little brother have battled it all of our lives. My brother was my best friend. We were only one year apart and we helped each other through it all and were always there when the other needed it. My brother had a hard time finding someone that would accept him with this problem and it just pushed him deeper into that hole. On February 21 2019 my baby brother committed suicide. I found him at our favorite spot where we would go to talk and just be there for one another. Im 23 now and I tried my whole life to help him because I know what that hopelessness feels like. Its hard to not blame myself and its hard not knowing what I could have done to stop it but im trying my best to live life without him and I miss him every second of everyday. I thankfully have a husband that helps me during the dark times and always tries to pull me out of that hole. This song and video is so true. You can always be there for someone and try your best to help them. My point is suicide is NOT the answer!! YOU CAN BE HAPPY! There is hope and peace of mind! You might think you're ending the pain but it just gets givin to someone else.
Many times we feel we don't deserve love because we feel so flawed. He only wanted to end HIS pain. He could not accept that due to your love for him that he hurt you. Be good to yourself and, in his name, love freely. May God bless you.
I've lived this music video with a girl friend. Still to this day I blame myself for not being there to stop the final attempt and questioning myself as to why I wasn't good enough to give her a reason to stay. It's completely irrational but that is your parting gift for the people who loved you. If you are feeling this way please get help. In the act of ending your pain you produce a hundred fold of pain for everyone else.
I am almost done my diploma in Addiction and Mental Health and this video made me ball my eyes out. The world is not the same anymore and I pray for all of those suffering. Stay safe, tell your friends and family you love them, get out and try that thing you have been putting off, much love.
Man, this video......soooo sad :( Made me think of a time when I didn't value my own life and tried to take it. I thank GOD to this day that I wasn't successful......
Living with a spouse that has emotional and depression problems is rough. Those of us that has done it do so because of the love we have for our partner. Been with my wife for 10 years, The ups, The downs, Don't mean shit to me as long as I am there b her side to keep her safe and sound. This video hit closer to home then I like. I love this video for what it means. I hate this video for the reality of what it depicts.
after years of someone I thought actually cared, I finally opened up and let him see that part of me and my past that I kept hidden. I hid it so well I that I was able to act like it was never there. I told him he could not handle that side. there is a reason. I don't like feeling like that. once I opened up and let him see why there are days I just wanted to be alone, or why I would not let him hug me, etc... the depression, anxiety, nightmares, suicidal thoughts, anger, hate... all that came back. he told me i was too dark, fuck up and he ran. glad to know there are still people out there that mean it when they promise they will always be there. gives me hope.
Exactly what I go through. Just found out I’m bipolar 2. I always thought the surges of energy were just happiness, and I never felt like anybody truly understood how low the lows would get. To anyone dealing with this I love you . Don’t give up.
As someone who was in love with and in a relationship with someone like this, PLEASE talk to them. We don't understand. Honestly. My ex tried to kill her self over it, and it still haunts me. We love you, I promise, and we really want the best for you. We would give our soul to see you be happy forever.
What is with the number of dislikes? This song is fucking amazing, and has an amazing message to it. Are all the frat boy "country fans" finding this or something, and can't stand real music?
There's no talk of tail gates down, daisy duke shorts, and he doesn't wear bedazzled jeans. Of course main stream country fans are going to dislike it.
What the lyrics mean (to my understanding), is that he is not afraid to be with someone that has a mental illness. No matter what may happen or how hard the struggle may be, he will never leave or abandon her. Also seeing that he is a police officer, he knows what it's like to feel powerless and worthless everyday or almost everyday when he goes to work. Whether it be rolling up to a motor vehicle accident, domestic abuse, or even helping to get troubled individuals the assistance they may need. In general I believe this music video is trying to show the picture that no one is immune to PTSD, depression, eating disorders, or any other kind of mental health issues no matter how big or small. Mental health can affect anyone and everyone, from First Responders to everyday citizens and it's not as if it's a choice. Hopefully this helps.
+Myron Metanchuk I agree, it seems she suffers from depression. You have good days and some very bad days, Anyone who has ever been there can see the signs in the video
I am married to a woman who is similar to this woman in the video 7 years ago she almost lost her battle and was in a coma for a few days and there have been some other times where things weren’t good but never that bad again but I relate to this all the way around I am not allowed to have a weak moment or get overwhelmed by anything because I have to make sure I am strong enough to be able to fight for 2 a lot of times especially right now as the Holidays are coming up and the current economic situation in this country she just gets so disheartened working 12 hours a day and still can’t meet our needs every day for anyone else that’s going through something like this the only advice I have is hold on with everything in you and love no matter how hard it may be to do sometimes if you are with them for better or worse you just have to do whatever you have to do to try to make it a little better every time you can we have been Married since 4/20/13 and I would do it all over again today but it does get hard sometimes
I know darkness and I know suffering all too well. My demons were great in numbers and in strength. I was alone in my fight so I could not face them. For many years I lived, or more survived rather, with my demons in full control. Eventually though after almost an eternity of looking for anything or anyone to help me out of this hell I was in and getting nothing but disappointment, and pain. I found out how to open up my heart and mind to free my soul from its torment. My eyes were open for the first time in years. I then heard god tell me that now that I was awoken, there was much work to be done. So I let the world teach me what it could and took what God has offered. From that all I gained a weapon against my demons that imprisoned me from the inside. That weapon is called love. And it is a very powerful one at that. It was love for myself, something in which I haven't felt in years. Love for my family, neighbor, for God, for my country. I used this love to vanquish my demons in open battle. Yes, it was a hard battle that came with its sacrifices and pain, but in the end, I was free. Free from the evil inside, free to see color, to enjoy music, to get lost in pleasant thought and smile. To smile, was something which I don't believe I have ever really appreciated before in my life. And at the end of the battle, I was covered in sweat, tired and sore, but yet lighter than the air I breathed. And then I heard the familiar voice of an old friend, and he said to me, "Go my child, there is much work to be done."
Amen to you, please help me to get to where you are today. I know I have work to do and that is why I have not taken my life yet. But right now it's getting too hard to keep going
Jeremy Wilson I do not believe that God “spoke” to me, or at least not in the way you and I do. I honestly do not “know” if God was involved at all, but that sense of awakening and those moments of clarity are so immense that I wouldn’t say anything against the idea. If God was involved, directly or indirectly, I believe it was more of pointing me in the right direction. Instead of him carrying me towards my destination, he was the shining light in my own internal darkness, in which he let me seek directions towards the path I wish to walk in life. In a sense, he did not bare my burden, but showed me the reason as to why I should fight. He gave me reassurance, and he gave me hope. In which I thought were long lost memories. You are welcome to interpret my message how you choose. I hope that was of helpful in some way or another.
+Brandy Thorne very true, the worst is.. at some point the person that had it worst moves on and 'survive' the situation, the other person struggles and its hard to move on
I'am in a such darkness place in my life.I need to do everything on my own. My parents don'st give a fuck about my. My Sister don'st care about my anymore. If i see here , the only thing i can see in her eye's is dissapointment. My closed friend, that i've known for 14 years, left my for a girl that he met 2,5 years ago. I've no friends and i need to pull myself together. I've got fired from two jobs and i have no money left. I can't even feed my cat. I just sold my monitor just to eat and survive. I'm trying to find a job as soon as possible, but then again i'am just a lonley brother seeking for love. Thank you chris for this song
Oh man, I'm sorry. I guess all I can say is that Jesus loves you and will never leave you if you will give your life to him. Jesus saves. He redeems, he heals, he makes us whole. He is calling for you to come to the cross and take refuge, lay down your burdens, lay down your shame, come as you are and he will do a work in you. He changes hearts and lives, do not doubt that he can do that in you.
This ain't country...this is life. Look up early Steeldrivers and tell me that is Bluegrass......Chris is our Master Songsmith.....He writes what we feel......
I still cry every time I watch this music video. It so resonates with me. My partner is the one there for me through thick and thin in my depression and this song just hits deep.
Mine disappeared in the dawn of a morning.. Went to chase a dream in Virginia. Wanted me to move on 2 years later . I see that she's been gone for a year...Died with No friends , no mourning , no burial. Nobody cared.. and the sweetest soul you'd meet.. It resonates as if it's my fault , everyday.. As we were a happy couple , it didn't make any sense... Just be happy with what you have. Cheers
My fiance took his life 6 days ago and I miss him more than words can describe. The pain is neverending. I want him back. He brought me so much happiness, hope, peace and love. This world is a darker place without him. I love you, my sweet Junior.
Suicide has always been seen as a weak escape from problems we don't want to handle in the past. I think more and more every day we are recognizing it as the clarion call to society that we open our eyes and see those around us before they fall too far beneath the surface to save themselves. My heart breaks for your loss, but I pray that you find small glimpses of light in the memories you held of him. Snatches of music that remind you of the times of joy.
I struggle with anxiety and depression and recently I lost my sister to cancer and I had a miscarriage a few weeks ago and trying so hard to stay positive I often listen to this song and cry
May you be blessed with the grace to see God's love for you despite what you may perceive as God not being there. Trust in God and give everything to Him, all your pain and sorrows. Put God first and watch Him make your life anew.

Long story short.. I moved to Oregon back in October of 1998, I was 21 and I didnt know anyone. I got a shitty factory job right away so I could support myself, and thats where we met. She was 23, and with some dirt on her cheek she introduced herself "Hi...(it was that super long pause you only see in the movies).... I'm Susie", she said. I was already in love by the time she said her name. I instantly fell in love with her, right then. We started dating and at times I needed to pinch myself because I honestly couldnt believe a girl this amazing and beautiful actually WANTED to be with me. Fast forward 3 years. We lived together and made friends together..we were starting a beautiful life together. On a rainy March weekend I went out of town with my friends band (I would help carry gear, do lights, whatever was needed) and returned that Sunday evening, it was March 18th 2001 to learn that my Susanna had committed suicide and her body had been found that morning in a room at a hotel by the freeway.... I can clearly recall the exact moment that my heart was crushed and I became dead inside. It was like getting hit my a silent freight train.. I had no idea. Zero warning signs... nothing. Nothing except her goodbye letter to me. Im 40 years old now, .. I still have not been able to allow myself to love the way I loved her.. Tell the "one" in your life that you love them, before its too late.. R.I.P. Susanna Lynn Hathorn I will always love you.. Great video, by the way.
zombie668 Just remember that in her mind she probably was feeling as if her very existence was torture to you. But in reality, it was the exact opposite. God bless her soul, at least she is not suffering anymore. Always remember, you'll see her again. And you'll be together once again for all eternity. In peace. Happy. Together.
Part of me hopes it is that easy. Most of me knows that isnt a realistic hope to hold on to. And ALL of me knows, she was never "mine" to hold on to in the first place. I have chosen to try to use this as a way to learn something about myself and the world around me. Something that only she could teach me, even if that lesson had to come from her death... funny part is, I still dont know what it was I was supposed to take from this that makes me a more well rounded human being.... I have resolved that I may never know... and thats ok
this song makes me feel everything! all my emotions. see as a young girl right after I had my baby girl my life long strong mother was so hurt and down, aside I never saw before. she walked in to my room at the time she was living with me. she hurt so long so hard so many days with a smile on her face. see she walked in and held me thigh and expressed how much she loved me but could not feel the way she has for 13 years. she stepped back with the most broken lost hurt look any one could see in their mothers eyes. I could of died inside at that but then she slowly pulled a kitchen knife to her wrist as blood poured on to my floor as I cried out to her. see she hurt for 13 years over losing our dad of 6 daughters. she longed for his touch and strong shoulders that held her up when she was low. I hurt for what I experienced that day in my house as a new mom and for my family who had a loss. not everyone can hold it together for so long. I love this song and how I allows me to feel every bit of what's real it's a strong deep love song to so many. thanks for the share. God bless all thanks Casey landis
Not only is the song phenomenal-but hats off to the director of this video! The actors make it look like it’s really happening and the way it’s shot is absolutely haunting. A mini movie you can’t forget.
🌹 Hey 👋 big fan!!!!💞💌I'm using this medium to appreciate you in particular as a fan of mine and I want you to keep supporting me while I bring more entertainment to your way. Love you💞💝 I have seen a lot of your comments and likes on my page thanks for being a fan and I'll like to show more of my gratitude to you 💌🙏🙏💝 How long have you been listening to my music? 🎶🎶💌💌💞💕🌎🌎🎵🎵💞💞
YES! I've always casually likes SOME country, but I feel like I love everything Chris Stapleton does. This being the top of the list for me. I can't get enough of it and this video cuts me to the core.
I'm very thankful this song wasn't released 15 years ago. My girlfriend who is now my wife went through a very deep and dark depression after her world collapsed around her. If I had heard these lyrics it would have broke me. I cry at this song because we were so close to this happening,my best life decision was never giving up on her because it has been worth everything.
Conversa com Deus ele vai te libertar mas no tempo dele essas são aprovações quê passemos mas tudo passa procure ele mas com fé de coração ele vai te ouvir nas madrugadas a melhor hora pra Deus nos escutar .
Every time I hear this song, no matter where I am, I break. I literally bawl. Loudly. For myself, for all the love I have given freely to those so undeserving, and for all the hurt that they caused me over the years.... and for all the people I hurt with my pain. I am so terribly sorry for my anger, my rage, my fears, my constant worry. I don't want to upset my loved ones.... sometimes, you just can't control the feels. And then THIS happens...this video is so spot on!!!!!!!!
@wondering woman I feel you. I too suffer from severe depression, but this is about you. Healing from past hurt is tough however during my last hospitalization one of the doctors told me to not allow those memories to take space in your heart because they don’t deserve it. Sometimes getting mad is a good healing tool, letting go gives you more time spend happy. I pray that this will help you. God bless and live well.
I so feel you! I also give so much love and then get so much hate... I have made 2 attempts to end my life and then I had 2 heart attacks caussed by all the stress that I was dealing with... at the time, I wished that I wouldn't have made it... but I'm slowly learning to love myself... I have lost so many people... stay strong xxx
Thank you, every day is a fight. Yes, I have a wonderful family, friends, doctors, medication, but sometimes the world is to much. I am so sorry about your wife. Your statement did help. Thank you.
Wondering Woman you don’t owe apologies. It’s not your fault. My daughter and granddaughter both are diagnosed with bipolar depression disorder.they both feel the need to apologize sometimes too but I tell them I love them and they are my would. ❤
This video makes me cry my eyes out. I have PTSD and crippling anxiety. My fiance has had to hold me on several occasions ,talk me through my suicidal feelings and protect me from myself. I appreciate all he does for me but this video just makes me respect his strength and love for me even more. I love Chris Stapleton.
Cassy Leigh sorry to hear this my wife is really sick and cannot get help with her pain both physically and mentally Dr would rather just feed you a hand full of pills as too really sit and listen too what you have to say. keep your chin high as I tell my wife.
Michael Edwards Well thank God that you have your wife. Saying a prayer for you because I know what that feels like. There are good days and there are bad days and there are days where it doesn't feel like it's worth it to go on living but those moments when I realize the unconditional love and support I have been blessed with in my wonderful man, those are what I hold onto when I feel like I just can't take another minute inside my own head. Hold onto the precious moments and let them be the light in your darkness. ❤️
I just heard this song and it makes me cry Everytime I hear it my daughter suffers from depression tried taking her life when she was 13 years old she's 17 now it was truly the hardest thing I ever went through and now my other daughter is 13 now suffers bad with depression tried taking her life twice and as a mother it's so hard seeing your child go through it bullying is so terrible abd I pray no mother ever goes through what my daughters have 🙏
Keep breathing and make sure you keep rolling all music back to back ..if you wanna dialogue more my first digit is 616 followed by 675 then 298 and 7.
+Joe Thoman same here bro. i took a break from acacia strain and black tongue to appreciate the music of a man who represents what real country music is about. Its not twangy accents, trucks, mud, and tan legged drunk girls. Its life, hardships, ups and downs and its all beautifully arranged by him. this is as real as it gets.
You don't understand how badly we want to be saved. sometimes you don't get that option. Turned away, left hopeless begging for help. it's not something you can just turn off and on
Unable to move on from the love of my life after 5 years. I'll never love another and it is out of my control. I keep answering texts from her and it rips me to peices everytime. This is why country music exists. I didn't get before I met her. I worked a new job rebuilding my life and country was on the radio every day. It made me fall more and more in love. Every song that came out during that time haunts me. Write a song about that Mr. Stapleton.
In 2011, I lost my wife of 14 years to suicide, leaving my 4 kids without their mother. It devastated our family. As a result My only daughter killed herself on 12/28/22, 3 weeks short of her 22nd birthday. Suicide sucks. It. Destroys the families left behind. If you are struggling with it, please get help. Otherwise you're transferring your pain to the people who love you, that are left to deal with the consequences of your actions. You ARE loved. Please don't hurt the people who love you by hurting yourself.
Prayers for you. I'm so sorry for your loss. That is so true, it just pushes the pain to someone else !
There are truly no words but I am sorry for your loss😢
I know your pain and I am so sorry for your loss.
Just horrible. I'm so sorry for your losses. 🙏
I know your pain maybe not as much but I'm sorry for your loss
I have always loved this song. I just saw this video and it took my breath. I found my husband with a self inflicted GSW. Spent the rest of his time in a hospital room going back and forth between heart break and anger. I let him go on the 6th day. Never.gets any easier. I type this thru tears. Please, PLEASE seek help. Reach out.. I know it may not seem like it but you ARE loved. You ARE important. The devastation of those left behind is immense. He was 23. Way too young to say goodbye. Thanks to Chris for bringing this very important issue to the surface. Its a hard one to deal with on so many different levels. Those of you who need to hear this listen: please stay. Choose life. Today may be the worst day of your life.. Tmrw may be the BEST. Once this decision is made its irrevocable.. Please stay.
💙🙏💙🙏💙
That's heavy. I hope you find the strength to make it through this time.
God bless you. I suffer from many mental issues and ur post too has helped me
@@tammeyslone3435 That makes me very happy. Hang in there. You can do this!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😭
Been recently listening to this song and just now watched this video. I’m crying as I write. Been married to my beautiful wife for 23 years. She’s battled depression, anxiety and PTSD throughout. For us as men, we’re able to fix things, broken faucets, cars, home repairs etc. To see the love of your life have these struggles and know you can’t fix them leaves you with the most helpless feeling ever. All we can do is be there and do our best to understand their struggles. I do understand to some degree after losing my father as a child and how hard just getting out bed was. Stay strong and don’t give up everyone. God Bless and stay safe.
May God protect and Heal this beautiful family today, tomorrow and forever 🙏 Amen...
As a woman who is struggling with this with her husband I am truly sorry. stay strong to you and anyone reading this. stay strong as the caregiver and the person hurting. I been both. I am so sorry.
Brother, you can fix them. If your wife is unhappy at all, it is because of you!! You just need more excitement in life! Give her a new reason to remember why she fell in love with you in the first place. Much love bro. You got this. 👊
@@guitarbrother14this is ignorant. Not the case at all
Be strong brother. You are right, all we can do is be there for them. Praying for you and your family.
I have ptsd, depression, and anxiety.... And I would never wish it upon nobody. But I do wish more people understood it.
i understand ❤❤ we got this.
I understand that
Hang in there
Aman! Sister I hear you ❤ 3:01
Mucha fuerza hermano
This song is not about depression... This song is about unconditional love. The video depicts a man loving his wife in the hardest times imaginable.
This video adds so much to the song. Absolutely incredible.
I am a musician that struggles fiercely with depression and suicidal thoughts. And this video just hit home for me. Love it.
Stay strong...depression is a hard road to follow...good mental health to you!
Mike Scully; You hit the proverbial Nail on the head brother. This song is about the unconditional love for your spouse regardless. If we could just remember real & true love, is not conditional.
+Mark Haywood thank you.
and they use real actor and actress ben foster is the guy and i forgot who the lady but she a movie star too
The actress is Margarita Levieva.

❤ There is all the strength we need in His name ❤ I pray for your healing and for you to take back your shine and your place on this ride that which is the greatest gift to us.
Prayers to you, keep strong 👊💯
I just found this song. I can feel it with everything in me. I have severe depression and ptsd. My childhood broke me. I'm now 34 and trying to pick up the pieces. Pray for me guys.
Praying.
@Alan Caldwell
I agree with your comment... 📍
So often we feel like our traumas and past have made us "bad people" but in reality, they make us resilient. You are not broken, even if it feels like it....You are strong for what you've endured and conquered. You are a survivor.
Continue your journey of healing knowing that we are loving you, you are not alone ❤️
Everyday week I pray for people like you. People in situations I know nothing about but still feel guilty about. I will pray for you too. God bless you.
@@viktor681 Thank you for caring about people like us. It's hard when someone has put your light out.
Ezra I know things are pretty dire right now and I don’t know how to keep going when everything seems to be falling apart. But I’m not going to stop trying because in this life the thing that I’m sure of is that I have to be here for you. So I’m not going to leave.
You will make it!
Good shit!!! Keep that mindset. Sending you love n prayers
@@cheyenneavery944 thank you i love yall
My wife deals with depression and this song scares me to death. I showed her the video and we both cried uncontrollably. Don't want to lose her.
Hold onto her, support her and be there just stay. She will make it through. I promise you.
My personal struggles with mental illness have always been a part of the reason why no one wanted me and everyone gave up on me. Once I realized I had to not give up on myself that’s when I knew… if you love her then just stay. 😊God bless you and prayers for a long beautiful life ♥️
Prayers for you both 🙏 Only God knows 🙏
That sounds like a real connection man♥️
God please place your hand on this guys wife. Depression is hard for both her and him so please camo your angels around them both. Give her peace that surpasses all understanding. I lift them both up in your name. Amen

I'm manic depressive with schizophrenia I'm truly sorry for your loss I do meth can you make it so i dont get pulled over? I'm also retarded
So very sorry. This happened to me too. I hope you are doing ok. Sending you love and hope❤
Reminds me of my friend Bradley, she suffered from depression. She had her highs and lows threw the years, she killed herself 4 years ago. She tried to get treatment, doctors labled her as a drug seeker and send her home with nothing, she self medicated with street drugs and booze. It is sad to think that life is that bad you dont want to live, and it is hard for those left behind. This song and video really touched me.
I'm really sorry to hear that I hope your life turns out to be nothing but a blessing
Jon Phillips Thank you for your kind words. I miss my friend, I regret I could not help her. I am in the medical field but there are very limited resources for mentally ill. Depression is an elephant in the room and goes undiagnosed far too many times. I pray for awareness to this terrible disease.
Listened to this song a lot. Just now watched the video. Damn... I'm sorry for your loss.
Tammy Renee Moore that is a very true statement that you made about people giving up on life to medicate themselves and that's the bottom of the bottle it's always empty because we think too hard and not really searching for the answers but when you she had a good friend like yourself just remember she's watching you she just couldn't help herself didn't have no one to really lean on an open heart I thought about suicide years ago and I was one drugs pills and alcohol the guy told me has something better for me and I begin to draw you got very good at it and then I have a clothing line coming out this year the clothing line is call Jelani please look out for me support me has I will support any other artists make our Dream Come True God bless everyone have a great day
Tammy Renee Moore I knw what the sad life of depression and emotional problems can do to a person and anyone who lives that person . But your friend not in pain anymore
I dated a woman with depression and at times it dominated her existence. She would constantly thank me for “putting up” with her. I never looked at it that way. I just loved her. Sadly she has since passed on to a better place. For you Baby Girl, for you.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Depression is a monster, I know that from personal experience 😢
Sorry for your loss, I have major depression & PTSD, this song hits me hard. Cause I feel the meaning of this song. I've suffered from depression from before i was 13 yr old. I wish my BF i have now knew how to deal with my depression, he gets mad and makes it worse. I'm sure you was a blessing to her.
😢
I've been with two men in my life that's dealt with depression that sadly 😥 😔 took my ex he was in the war in Afghanistan he was a paratrooper and I knew him from Highschool. But we got together after our marriages didn't work out and I didn't realize then how bad it was. The thoughts of suicide is what I mean. I seen what the war had done and I was just 21 at the time he was 23 went in as soon he was 18. So he came home and it just hurts thinking bk. He had flash backs, insomnia like very severe. And I didn't know what I was getting myself into but I loved him very very much. But we split for other reasons to work on ourselves and whatnot and we kept in touch but I wrote him maybe a wk before it happened checking in on him and my sister wakes me up to tell me he was gone and I thought it was a cruel joke. But it wasn't. I knew him being alone was the worst thing for him mentally. He lived w me but I moved out if my apartment w the lease was up so he moved bk in w his parents until he had bought his own home. And that's where he took his life. I blamed myself idk why but I did. And this song makes me think of hom so much. My ex husband also deals with self harm and depression very badly. I mean to the point of askin me w he used to drink to say I was okay with it and we have a daughter together. It breaks my heart he feels this way. 💔 😢 we have known each other now the majority of our lives and thankfully he's not drinking anymore but it still worries me at times. About the depression or starting to drink again and getting in his head. I just pray, check in on him and hope for the best. I want him to be happy even tho I couldn't make us work. He still has a beautiful daughter we share. Depression is tough I deal with it in a daily since I was around 8. But I don't get suicidal doesn't mean I haven't been. But if you're ever feeling that way, it's not the answer it will literally devastate your loved ones. As much as you think nobody cares people do. It's not the answer I promise you it's not.
Sorry for you're loss, I lost a ex boyfriend to it and it's awful. ❤🙏🪽
I can not make it through this song without bawling like a baby my mom has suffered with mental illness and my dad has stood by her side through all the storms!!
Sorry about that Shannon, how are you ?
That's what's missing from this video is the kids, I went through this with wife for years and the hardest part for me was trying to save her and the kids at the same time. I eventually paid for her to live in a separate house that was near by so she could see the kids during her good days. It's a real helpless feeling you try and do right by both because you love them. The good moments can be so great and the bad moments can suck away your soul. As hard as it was I had to break it off after 15 years it was doing to much damage to everyone. After living separate for 10 years we finally divorced, I got the kids and she got half of everything I had. Turns out she had been having relationships behind my back the whole time. The best years of my life wasted the good news is I got two great kids out of it. Give your dad a hug and let him know he's special and so are you girl hope things get better for all of you.
"The people some people fall in love with"
Shannon Vaughn I love you
Same here
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for the support and love.
Broken people ( like me) recognize this. Thank you for giving this song to us.
Everything will be fine! Believe ❤️
I feel you I'm bordering broken, or in repair, I can't tell at times. There's always something bringing me back down to were I must belong 😭
Please know that you are loved here and beyond this world. There is more to this life with Jesus. Please, please, please seek him. He loves you beyond words!!!
There is nothing broken about you.
Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you dont feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!"
So nice, thank you🤍
Beautifully written. Thank you so much. I wish you peace. God bless!!
♥️♥️♥️
Thank you.
Well thanks but your words made me cry
I’ve suffered with depression and anxiety for most of my life. 2 failed suicide attempts, dozens of doctors, counselors, therapist, and medications later, I finally found a doctor who helped. That was 10 years ago and while I still have bad days/weeks/months, I thank God every single day my suicide attempts failed.
I’ll be 63 years old this year and I’m living my best life. Help is out there but it’s a very long, hard journey. Please don’t ever give up on yourself. You ARE worth the effort ❤
l like 9😅😅😅🎉
I am glad you are here.
That you gone true, is exactly like my life, but i get help 18years ago..im 51 now.
Your a beautiful soul, it's hard enough to live through it, now you write about it. I'm glad you found a great Dr. This video is heart wrenching.
No you didn’t
Others have said this before and I'll say it again. This man is helping to save music.
AMEN!!❤️❤️🔥🔥
Music doesn't need saving.Music is music perfect the way it is
+Todd Tackett lol im scared 😱...what im trying to say is that music is the best way artists express themselves and if someone saids music needs saving they really dont respect the way artists express themselves
+Baflbruno opinions are okay and you're allowed to express yours. We certainly appreciate it. In this case my opinion is that Chris is saving music. Thanks and have a great day.
+Ssheldon618 im just saying thats such a big statement to say but ok 👍
Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world 💖

Thank you, need all the luck I can get today 🙏
Thank you! Keep your head up my friend and I turn ill try and stay strong as well salute 🫡❤.
We need more people like y’all,not only care,but openly vocal about,my best to everyone!
This song is my life. Through my battle with depression I have lashed out at my husband, thrown things at him and locked myself in a room with a knife and a bottle of pills. He never once left and would hold me until I exhausted myself when I went wild.
He is the sole reason I am here today and better then I have ever been. He monitors my meds and loves me despite it all. Thank you Chris Stapleton for honoring our loved one that live and suffer with us.
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶❤️, Happy New Year once again.
@Amanda Wilshire Thank you once again for your love towards my music 🎶 Do you mind if we talk somewhere private? I'm not on here much
Mine was there for 15 yrs I honestly thought id nwver find someone who would love me with all my battles in my mind and he did right up until god stole him from me with a fatal stroke that I now know was caused by the stress i put him thru so in the end I killed the one person that was always my rock and im now so alone and miss him and want to be where he is
I've struggled with depression and anxiety since I was 15. I'm now 37, and it's still a battle. It just sucks when sometimes you feel like you just can't win!!
I absolutely get it. Hope you can keep strong!
@@unepetitebr Thank you!
You are winning simply because you are still here. Don’t ever give up the fight.
@tyfaknee Thank you! Nope, never give up!!! Again, thank you for the nice words!!!
@@Nikkilou36 ❤️
this song is about depression she cldnt fight the demons and he stood by her side until the end..pay attention to every sign if you can do something...
U hit it perfect!!
I didn't see it. My daughter recently committed suicide... I knew she was going through a lot but every time I saw her she seemed to be okay. Wish I could have stopped her
Jaded Star , I'm so sorry. Prayers for you and your family. I lost someone very close to suicide a year ago. My son has bipolar, and he's had several attempts. Mental health services need to change. They are failing too many people.
Wrong. Unconditional Love
What right do you people have to judge anyone's life make sure you fix yourself before try to fix someone else and you ..... nope
God damn this video is an emotional one.. but this is country. Real problems.. real people. Not everything is fuckin tan legs swinging from a tailgate in the moon light sipping fireball. Country is the music of soul, life, hardship, the appriciation of the things you already have, and the voice of coping with what you have lost. Life isn't always a fuckin party.
+domzdaman373 Amen to this!
Comment of the year!!!!!!
Well said! 😊
Best breakdown of TRUE country I've heard in a while! Very well said!
apparently you have never lost anyone to suicide!! God help you when you do!!!
Holy god damn shit! Metal head here, and this is beyond words! Well done Chris.
Mateo H 💔💔h
Also a metal head and this song just speaks to me!
not much he can mess up.. too talented for the mainstream
Same here. Horns up for heart break.
Country music was my next transition from metal music. I don't know how but it's quite enjoyable and really speaks to the heart. Always do love to go back in time and listen to some of the old bands
My best friend of 25 years took his life 52 days ago. I was the last person he talked to. We got off the phone at 8:37am; at 11:49am, I think he's callin' me back. It was his folks callin' me from his phone to tell me he was gone. Sometimes, the signs are not there. Hug your loved ones, and let them know how much they mean to ya.
I'm sorry 🫂
So sorry
literally the saddest video

Pheona Bailey guff
wilkybarkid I've watched a nazi video in a camp, yea never mind this is more sad than that
i don't have a personal connection to the holocaust so although that is sad, this has more relatable sentiment to it.. hence for me this is sadder than the afore mentioned video..
I hit bottom with anxiety in 2003. I got to the point where I had so much mental pain that I understood why people kill themselves although I never actually tried to. I was buried in hopelessness and despair. It took me five years to learn my way out of it, but I did it!! What gave me hope was listening to others that made it out. If I can do it, you can too! When I was finally able to put my thoughts together I started writing songs about the things I had learned. Love yourself! Take care of yourself! Treasure yourself! And let everything else go!! It's about your thoughts and beliefs. Pay attention to them, and allow yourself to change them to something that feels good. Follow your heart, and let go of everything you've ever been taught. Your heart knows best!💞 Lots of love, Shelley😊
+Shelley Marie Songwriter Go you!!
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for the support and love.
GREAT FOR YOU, Shelley 🤎 Totally agree.
I wonder if Mr. Stapleton realizes how many lives he has saved out of the 19 million views this song has? One right here. God makes no mistakes and puts people (angels) in the right spot at the right time. This I know. Keep on keeping on!!
indeed
Absolutely ❤
I have frequented this comments section more than I want to admit in these last 8 years.. this song and yalls testimony's yall upload daily is the only thing that keeps me going. The struggle is real; however, if anyone needs to talk, l'm always here to listen. If you’re struggling like me, just know that I love you and your life matters.
This comment stood out to me. I’m not sure why, but I thank you for taking the time to share. Maybe we were meant to cross paths…I don’t know. But thank you, regardless. Life is hard. I’m here as well❤
Your a wonderful person for doing so
@@hollisanders8608 hang in there, Hollis. Much love 💜
@@jenniferroper3620 thanks, Jennifer 🫶🏽
That was an amazing way of showing how being married to someone with anxiety or/and depression. Chris captured the highs and lows. I haven’t cried to a music video in a long time but I had to cry for this one.
You are so right, my husband couldn't care less. I guess that's why I left and getting my second divorce. Thanks for sharing that
I'm sobbing, this hit me so hard!
I'm only here for my son
Prob borderline personality disorder, I have it and this is the hell my husband deals with. I thought it was depression but it's actually more complex and the spouse will suffer just as much. Sad video..

As a female veteran with chronic ptsd,this song hits my soul. I am a two time survivor of domestic violence. I met someone back in 2019 through a mutual acquaintance. Fast forward to now and we are living this song to some degree. I pray that it gets better. He has shown me that not every man is a scumbag. I am madly and wholeheartedly in love with him.
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
I am so glad !
@@sallyrutledge4726 it’s my pleasure having you on here, so have you ever been to our concerts?
Thank you for your service!
I'm happy you found that. ❤
Sometimes we just can't handle the monsters alone. But finding someone that will stay to fight with us is just as hard.
This is very true, I know this feeling too well myself. I hope you find someone ready to fight with you. Have a blessed day.
Brandie Lou i agree 🖤
I have fought the monsters alone for many yrs until 2013 when i met my husband.... he has fought a many monster with me but with at my side those monsters aint hard to fight anymore
Peace & love brother ! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Lol and fucking impossible
I’ve been through so much childhood abuse trauma getting incarcerated at age 16 for 20 years. Just chasing love and being excepted in all the wrong places. Multiple suicide attempts. Not wanting to live anymore. I’ve began to gain my life back little pieces at a time but still nobody understands the pain I’ve been through. Now I’m 39 and have severe arthritis to the point I hurt everyday and have to take medication for arthritis which prevents me from ever becoming a father. Idk what I’ve done to deserve all this pain. Even now at times I wonder if I’m better off not being here. But I’ve found God and now have a godly family so things are slowly becoming better. If you could please pray for me please
Praise God!!
Anti-inflammatory foods should help with the arthritis. Vitamin B-12(methylcobalamin) and D3 with K2 for depression. Sunshine is the best source of Vitamin D when you are able to get it-without toxic sunscreens. Do your own research as much as possible. Prayers for you and family.
We see you, we are proud of the progress you made, I mean it
I am praying. God is a god of healing. He is a God of peace. He loves you.
You've got this and when it becomes too much to handle hit your knees and ask God for strength, He is there waiting on you, just ask Him. If He brings you to it He will bring you through it!! Recovering IV junkie, had a lot of childhood trauma too, lots of times I wanted to end my life. But today I'm so Grateful and Thankful that He pulled me through it all. Been clean for 15 years, I have 2 amazing kids and they gave me 3 wonderful grandbabies. I'm so Blessed and so are you. There's a reason you are still here. I deal with back pain every day, but it's certainly better than not being around for my loved ones. You'll be in my prayers, we are always stronger than we think we are, but if you ever need that extra strength HE will give it to you. God Bless you🌸
As a mental health professional student, this speaks volumes to me. I love this and the amount of light it sheds on the illnesses that so many people suffer from many times alone and in darkness. Loving someone with a mental illness completely consumes you and it also sheds light on that as well. There is hope for the hopeless, you just have to seek it.
I love your comment
Thank you! I cried like a baby watching this! :(
Chris Stapleton. Idk if you'll ever read this. But know this video has let me put a visual on the suffering I go through when I am hitting that low point. Thank you for this video and just to know I am more. And survive another day..... I fire away... Everyday.....
You ARE someone Ashley Noonan and you have no idea how many lives you have touched and changed just by being here and being a part of life. You matter to this world - don't ever let the illness lie to you and tell you that you don't. Big hugs to you :)
+Kerry Feland I there was a like button for your comment. I don't know either one of you, but that was amazing and uplifting. I can be a true jackass most of the time, but I do actually try to see the good and importance in all people. Thank you.
Thank you Matt for your kind words. My daughter is bipolar so I live the life in this song and I know the people who are ill will start to feel and think that they are not worth anything but that is just not true - they are worth everything to all of us. People miss seeing so much beauty, kindness and love in others when they close their minds....I just keep trying to open the doors that others keep trying to shut.
+Kerry Feland
well said
+Kerry Feland I know what you mean. My girlfriend is bipolar. I love her to death. It scares me when he gets in one of her moods. I am afraid she will hurt herself. She cuts herself and talks about how ugly her scars are. I look her in her eyes an I always tell they are beautiful just like her. I know the Lord is watching over her from heaven. I truly believe they are God's Angels. We are there protectors.
My girlfriend, one of the most amazing people on this earth, was badly abused as a child and as a result has dissociative identity disorder ("multiple personalities" although the right term is dissociative identities). She struggles with chronic derealization and depression/suicidal ideation and ocd too. Loving someone so much and so unconditionally, despite how much they struggle, can really fucking hurt. All you want is for them to get better and be okay, but it's never that easy. There are nights when I'm scared I'll wake up the next day to see she's gone. She deserves to live and be okay. She deserves to feel like the world around her is real and not just some dream, like her derealization tells her.
She's suffered enough and I want us to have a happy ending, because her beginning sure as hell wasn't. It's unfair as all fuck and sometimes all I can do is cry and curse at the world for putting this on her and on us.
If anyone sees this, and if any of you believe in God, I do ask that you send out a prayer for her recovery. Shit can be so hard. I'll be praying for any of you that need it too.
update almost a year later: we are no longer together - not because of her mental health though! nothing bad. we are still very good friends, but the actual relationship wasn’t working because our respective long term goals weren’t compatible. she is recovering every day. very, very slowly, but i see the little bits of progress every time we see each other. things still aren’t easy for her at all, but i can see them getting there. stay strong everybody.
Praying for her & praying even harder for you. It’s hard to bare witness to these things, to not be able to fix all the hurt. You’ve both got this. Lots of love.
It's really beautiful how much you clearly love her. I hope you both get your happy ending
I will pray for you and your girlfriend
This got me sobbing. I hope she gets better.
Prayers for healing in Jesus name amen. Tell her I tried it wouldn't fire now my children are grown I'm raising my granddaughter. I had lost my little boy 2 years old I was a mess. Jesus came to me in a vision showed me my son on his lap then he run off with the other children in a huge meadow. I still miss him. I know he's in heaven. I cry every birthday holiday ..I pray
I feel this song everyday of my life. I have anxiety, trauma, complex PTSD and depression. I get tired. Its hard not to just drown. Everyone chin upur in my thoughts
Keep breathing and make sure you keep rolling all music back to back ..if you wanna dialogue more my first digit is 616 followed by 675 then 298 and 7.
This song has touched me like no other It's been almost 7yrs since I lost my fiance to suicide and even now every day is still a struggle. When we met she was the light that saved me from a dark place. She taught me so much about life and myself. She was my forever and I feel as though I failed her by not being able to save her like she did me. I lost a big piece of me that day that I will never get back. I am just grateful for all the memories that I will always have to look back on.
On November 25, 2021 I lost my best friend and true soul mate.I couldn't save him. I keep asking myself what more I could have done. I'm pretty broken right now.The thought that brings me comfort is knowing he is at peace. .
I'm sorry for your loss, about 8 months ago I found out my wife of nearly 10 years tried to commit suicide for the second time that I know of. I was sitting in my Office in tears because she wouldn't let me in and I was feeling like I failed too.
Thanks for your comments and love towards me, hope you won’t stop someday?
You didn't fail her........ if a person wants to go then no one can or will stop them. Release yourself my friend, you can't carry that load, it's too much for anyone!!!!!
@Russell Western that is exactly right. You didn't fail them. The depression overcame them. You can't save someone if they don't want to be saved. People with depression are ill. It's like a broken arm. Could you fix someone with a broken arm?
No, you don't have the skill set. Depression is a broken mind. The thoughts you have are not true or normal, because depression is telling them, you don't really mean it, you would be better off without them, or with someone who isn't sick. The thought process in depression is not telling you the truth.
Am I hearing music with lyrics that actually make sense? Am I feeling emotional? What's happening? ❤😩
yes ma'am
was thinking the same thing
ITs called country music. Its amazing stuff, went dormant for about 20 years but is coming back strong. Probably wont find it on many "country stations"
+Tyler Witty I agree
whataboutlastweek is the best thing ever I love it when I basically have a good day to
5 years later, and this song is still hitting hard.
So sorry.
So sad. 😢😢😢
First time today on the way home from work is when I heard this song. And yep it hits hard.
6 years now and dayum
It will always. The human condition is filled with dependency, need, thirst for fulfillment, value, lack of empathy, disconnection,.........but for some reason the man is discounted. Imbalance is real.
Feel like I'm fighting a losing battle with my Mental Health, It's a demon that lives on my shoulders that just won't go away.

I’m a wreck. Lost my husband of 25 years , then our daughter to fentanyl.. all the last few years. But my new husband of 6 months is my hero.. I see this and he is the one that carries me.. I love him so much… but I’m struggling..
Hold on to what you got 🖤 and remember what you had🖤 now believe in the future and what is possible 🖤 I am sorry for your losses. I am grateful for your gains and I am excited to see how you adjust to make your future showcase all of those things.
THANK YOU Chris Stapleton from those of us who suffer daily from mental illness...BLESS YOU..CRANK THIS SONG UP
I agree.. most just judge and say we are crazy .. but most times we didn't understand it ourself.
My husband lost his life to suicide 4 years ago. On our 15-year anniversary, he was in a locked psych unit, and when I went in to see him, he didn't recognize me. He ended his life 4 months later after coming out of this year-long manic episode. This song reaches me to my core.
Im so sorry.
Be strong.
God is with you 🩵
I hope you can find new life ❤️
This song is a masterpiece. Anyone agree?? [edit: didn't expect this many likes :)]
🌹 Hey 👋 big fan!!!!💞💌I'm using this medium to appreciate you in particular as a fan of mine and I want you to keep supporting me while I bring more entertainment to your way. Love you💞💝 I have seen a lot of your comments and likes on my page thanks for being a fan and I'll like to show more of my gratitude to you 💌🙏🙏💝 How long have you been listening to my music? 🎶🎶💌💌💞💕🌎🌎🎵🎵💞💞
Darn straight. My wife soon to be ex is just like that
Well beyond a masterpiece….. this song touches the very depth of our souls
Agreed!
Totally AGREE
I hesitated to share but it goes... I absolutely love my wife, been married for 10yrs, we are best friends, inseparable and enjoying life together and some don't understand why we are always together, but we crave each other and truly enjoy our friendship, love and energy. We both have our childhood history which damaged us, and I have my PTSD / TBI from the Marines and deal with those demons, yet I put them aside to deal with hers as well, trying to be strong for our relationship when she drinks and damages it. I deal with her toxic behavior every 4- 6 months since the beginning and I will continue to do so until it kills me. My wife is therapy, which I fully support but it works for a few months and then she loses herself when she can't control her alcohol. I know why she loses control, and I want to be there for her and let her know she's stronger than this and don't allow her past to control and destroy her / our future. I've tried everything to help her.... I'm exhausted and wanting to check out myself but I don't....
Nice to see someone that cares . Not many that do. My husband could careless if i die today.
@@J777RP sorry to hear you say this....I'm sure there are many many many that would and do care! Know that....hugs to you, stay strong
Mental health and addiction go hand in hand. It is so hard to watch someone you love going through it all. Take care of yourself and be there for her. I am sure it's a difficult balance. I lost one son indirectly due to drugs seven years ago. I also have a daughter who struggles with mental health. She has talked about suicide several times and she's only 20. She's on a high does of meds for bipolar depression, which I guess helps. These are two of my four kids. I always feel so helpless. I have learned to just love them, and be there for them. And, I've learned I cannot control what they think or do... songs like this help. Hang in there, sir.
Hold in there, take the hits and be strong, that's what us men do, it's just love, I wish you strength ❤
Stay strong brother. Never give up. Never stop loving. I don't know you but I love you
I've never seen anything so closely resemble my life. The only difference would be that when I lost my daughter I lost my mind and my will to live. It was this.. this insanity..and still he stayed. This was 6 years ago and I finally started to find my way back and my stomach ruptures...and for the first time I watched this beautiful, strong man I'm married to cry and literally beg me to survive..so I am. I will never understand why God gave me this man or why he still loves me like this 22 years and the death of a child later, but God knows how grateful I am. He's the reason I know we truly have soul mates.
Hope
@@bealightnthedarkness7662 hope and love. I just don't know that I deserve it, but God knows I'm grateful.
Boo hoo. Stop looking for attention
@@teddybroosevelt6826 awww Teddy..what you chose not to see is that I'm still here, still loved by many and still not ever intimidated or even a little hurt by someone like you. I can already tell what a sad, perpetually single and incredibly lonely life you live by this simple comment...the actual need for attention..which is so desperately needed on your part that you'll even take scraps of negative attention versus none at all.
You keep eating your feelings, pittying yourself and raging at the world over things you perceive as unfair and I'll keep being me. Loved, happy and confident enough to know how very little you matter.
Hugs and prayers.
@@teddybroosevelt6826 Quite the opposite. It is you seeking the attention and no doubt, you'll receive it precisely for your soulless comment. Enjoy the fame.
This song is so beautiful, but this video is like a car crash you don't want to see but you can't turn away from. I've seen it a hundred times, and I still can't turn away. This is Art.
Well said ❤❤
I don’t like it it hurts
Yes and living with somebody like this is like watching a train wreck you want so much to stop it but there is nothing you can do besides cry when it crashes
❤️
Chris Stapleton our last chance at real country music
agreed
We also have Justin Moore, but I'm afraid his new album might be pop country
don't forget about Sturgil Simpson and Cody Jinks
Kacey Musgraves has a really good country album too. It's new, but it's written from the heart by her and just a few other people. She keeps the same band, and they have respect for original country's sound while still being current. Her last album was equally as good.
You need to listen to Jamey Johnson, Frank Foster, Cody Jinks
I’ve been carrying the weight of being a single mom with cancer. This song is my sanity. Thank you, Chris.
Keep breathing and make sure you keep rolling all music back to back ..if you wanna dialogue more my first digit is 616 followed by 675 then 298 and 7.
this song reminds me of my relationship ...my man saves me daily i struggle with bipolar n suicidal thoughts DAILY. he is my hero. this song means alot to me
Mariana Nelson, thank you for fighting that fight everyday and never calling it quits.
Maranda Nelson same here
Maranda Nelson I'm sorry
Maranda Nelson that is so sad
best of luckxxxx life wont be as fun if your not around to enjoy it.. hold your man like he holds you and enjoy your lifes together maranda.. its short enought huni..:)
This video is very powerful , and it is intended to bring awareness to mental illness and how it destroys a person's life , not only that person , but all the family around them , There is a time and need to seek Help , before the tragic ending takes place , just like in the heart wrenching video. Do not be ashamed to ask for help. It just might save your life, or someone else you love and don't want to lose. Thankyou to "Chris" for bringing this in to full view.
Yes, please. Do not be afraid to ask for help. You never know where it may come from if you just ask !
+Kerry Feland : my cousin is a medical examiner , suicide is a reality that M.E's encounter frequently , If someone would have just stepped into their life and took them by the hand and got them help , this can be prevented. Or if that person realise them self it's time to ask others for help , that is the 1st step to recovery.
I live this every day. My daughter is bipolar. This video puts into view what cannot be described to someone who is not living with this. To get help is not as easy as others would like you to believe and even the people within the system are not always the help you think they are. Someone who is going thru depression needs at least one voice in their corner to stand up for them, protect them and help them to get to that help. It is as much of a battle for the caregiver as it is for the person suffering with the depression. I've been asked for years by the professionals how I've managed to keep going and being there for my daughter. Simple answer....when I look around, there is no one else there except me and God to help her.
Yes!! I can relate to this video! Its never too late to get help! I love this video and song itself
Agreed Ms. Glenda!! "Chris" is bringing country music back. I think he is very talented. Music is a huge influence in society. He brought awareness to a much needed cause.
As someone who suffers from depression along with bpd, This song gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it cause I can feel his words.. ❤
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
Stay safe and strong 💪
Music is special - I wish I had some magical words for you…but I also appreciate how different we all are. Maybe look for the littlest bits of joy and try to build from there?
Strive to smile…it can be contagious if you allow it!
@@BryanadamsmusicincWhat's up Chris this is Avril Do you know Parker Mccollum 😊
I suffer from the same. BPD, anxiety & depression, PTSD... And this song touches my soul ❤
I'm going through a divorce right now. I've heard this song a million times but hearing it right now just brought a flood of emotion. We're all just humans trying to make it. Keep going. I am! And so should you! Please let this be a sign for you 🫶🏾
❤
🙏 ❤
@8806Erica
So am I… after 24 years. I’m not sure if I will ever get over this shock. It’s like a death. You just wake up and remember it again every single day and feel sick. I was told a week before our anniversary right after coming out of a hospital that I had been in, due to suicidal ideations. He is seeing someone currently, which is the least of my concern. I would rather not be here at all, than know that he didn’t love me
Holy Hell, the feels! Crying at work watching this.
omg same!
Me too!!!!
Dawn Lilyanne
Dont cry! rejoice!!!! lol
Владимир-сын путина- Пост Awee, thank you!! :)
I am married to a man that struggles like this...I love him dearly and I am here for it all...
Be strong and bless you.
Here. Dont take hear for granted either
You my dear are a blessing please continue to hang in there with him 🙏🏻 praying for both of you I myself am fighting stage 4 cancer
Me too! Stay strong!
Tell him
Though i was already a Stapleton fan, i didn't realize what the song was about until i saw the video tonight. I'm a veteran of two wars, and i think, in part, i brought my ptsd home to my wife. Our problems had been going on for years, and after my last deployment we decided to get a divorce. A few days before her next birthday she committed suicide, and my son and i found her. He was 12. The last several years have been the hardest of our lives, but we've persevered. We've limped along, but we've made it so far. My son is in college and i am now with a woman who is wonderful and able to heal us both.
The pain, the struggle my son and i feel will never be over. His mother will not be there to congratulate him on his graduation, or to kiss his cheek when he gets married, or whisper sweet words to his babies. We will have to make do with what she might have said, or done. She would have been a light on his world, and mine.
Please, if you feel you can't go on, keep going. Just walk on. If you feel you can't walk another mile, please find a way to crawl. Crawl until you're able to walk again. Someday the sun will shine on you again. If you go, the pain you will leave behind will eclipse the good you did, the sweet memories you could have left. Don't leave. Just hang on. I promise it'll get better.
We love you. Be here.
My condolences, how well worded btw..stay Strong. Keep that mindset. Your post more than so resonated with me. God bless you
Damn man, i wouldn't be able to handle that. That'll be the day where I start drinking my life away. Love is so fucking powerful it's scary
shamell rose i swearrrr
that's a very touching song!! what blows my mind is there is multiple thousands that dislike it ?? how in the world can even one person dislike that song and or video????
maybe because it's derivative (feel free to look that up) of every other country artist,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ever
For some people it hits too close to home. Looking in the mirror isn't for everyone.
some people react different, there wasa time months ago i couldnt listen to this song without crying
Med Tech27 Wow, your comment is so real. That is exactly how it is...
BC the ones that don't like the song obviously don't know what being "REAL" IS ABOUT. SO UNTIL THEY LEARN TO BE REAL WITH THEMSELVES,. THEY NEVER WILL LEARN TO RESPECT ANYTHING THAT MIGHT REPRESENT REALIZISM
It hurts when someone you love with all your life is hurting and you can't help or don't know how to help. You just helplessly watch them in pain.
Amen brother I am currently fighting stage 4 cancer and sometimes I moan all night long in pain and my wife is there for me I feel bad for her because if it was the other way around I would be there for her but it would hurt me so much to see her go through it
The love of my life is bi-polar, depressed and harms herself. We are both almost 30 years old with an 11 month old daughter and idk what to do. I love her so much and don't want to leave her when she needs me the most but it's starting to affect us long term and our daughter. 😢
Prayers for you
My heart goes our to everyone who is suffering from depression and mental illness. I will be praying for you guys that God lifts those chains off of you. Keep fighting you are loved.😢
Best comment here. Go to God. 🙏
I pray to God everyday 🙏 Have a blessed night
I really appreciate your kind words. I’m battling a bout of depression right now. It’s very hard to deal with at times.
You have a blessed night and keep praying
Thank you from ireland as a sufferer it is not easy, and to hell with anyone who knocks it, i was brought up in a generation where the word depression was never talked about u were just in a bad mood, like hell i was, scared to say i feel depressed because u would of got laughed at or punched and told to catch yourself on, i was in my mid 40's before i addressed the problem and being an alcoholic didnt help near 5 yrs sober, and being treated properly for depression, iv found myself living in a city somewhere i never thought id ever live as im a country boy, but the count of 13,14,15,16yrs taking there own lives absolutly shocking scares me more needs to be done tell ur wee boys its ok to cry, wont make u any less of a man will make u a better man, rant over nice to hear of someone commenting like u just did we appreciate it thank you 💚💚💚💚💚💚🇮🇪
As a person with bipolar depression, I feel this song. My husband has stood by me through the ups and way downs.
My Best friend and Lover has stood bye me and this time I wouldn't have made it threw if it hadn't been for Scott and my MOM
Literally, same. My husband showed me this song and we both broke down together
It's flipped for me. My husband is the one with bipolar depression. We've been through some stuff.
I have bipolar depression and am currently fighting one of those debilitating lows of the depression. Literally laying here crying 😢 this is so well done and done with great accuracy of those peaks and valleys for sure.
Same. I feel like I could never tell him thank you enough.
Where words fail, music speaks . . . . . . . . . . . .
more than you know
No doubt
like that sang
Most powerful statement bro.
I would rather go blind and lose all my limbs than lose my ability to listen to music!! Sooooo grateful that for thhis gift since many cannot or just unable to FEEL this passion i would re live my painful childhood 20 times over than live without this kind of talent
I love how he doesn’t give up on her, he just loves.
My husband puts up with me every day. I always feel so sorry for him. He is so amazing. He loves me so much even when I feel so unlovable. ❤
My girlfriend is like this, bipolar disorder, major depression and anxiety. Being on call all the time as a firefighter it gets very scary to leave her alone sometimes. I love her so much, she has good days and bad days, but she's so unpredictable. She is a good person. If only she say her self worth through my eyes.
Jackaroo Dundee it's a hard thing to get over
@@sheliamiller5162 I don't think it's something you get over, it's something you deal with and share. It's weird like that.
Jackaroo Dundee i also have all 3 of those things... Its hard. Make sure there's always something at home with her. Like something to keep her from feeling alone. Don't let the silence get to her. If she tries shit she needs to go to the hospital. Its a dark feeling. And she probably doesn't want to go but usually meds work for bipolar. Its well studied. I have a lot of friends like this and they ended up going to the hospital for a while why they started lithium usually. Its like magic a lot of the time. I'm sorry just this songs got me emotional as hell. And i just wanna do litteraly anything I can do to help. Ik what its like being her. Its hell but it really is possible to escape the darkest part. Its just hard. Best if luck man.
Just do what you can for her. I wish you the best of luck bud!
You are an amazing human for having the strength and courage to care for someone with a mental illness. As one of those people myself I always worry I will scare away the ones I love, but this goes to show that we can be loved. And people do care, and we appreciate that more than you can imagine.
omg, in under 5 minutes my heart has been broken. The pain in this video is so powerful.
Mental illness is not a joke or something you can "get over" as ive been told so many times. Me and my little brother have battled it all of our lives. My brother was my best friend. We were only one year apart and we helped each other through it all and were always there when the other needed it. My brother had a hard time finding someone that would accept him with this problem and it just pushed him deeper into that hole.
On February 21 2019 my baby brother committed suicide.
I found him at our favorite spot where we would go to talk and just be there for one another.
Im 23 now and I tried my whole life to help him because I know what that hopelessness feels like.
Its hard to not blame myself and its hard not knowing what I could have done to stop it but im trying my best to live life without him and I miss him every second of everyday. I thankfully have a husband that helps me during the dark times and always tries to pull me out of that hole.
This song and video is so true. You can always be there for someone and try your best to help them.
My point is suicide is NOT the answer!! YOU CAN BE HAPPY! There is hope and peace of mind!
You might think you're ending the pain but it just gets givin to someone else.
Many times we feel we don't deserve love because we feel so flawed. He only wanted to end HIS pain. He could not accept that due to your love for him that he hurt you. Be good to yourself and, in his name, love freely. May God bless you.
I've lived this music video with a girl friend. Still to this day I blame myself for not being there to stop the final attempt and questioning myself as to why I wasn't good enough to give her a reason to stay. It's completely irrational but that is your parting gift for the people who loved you.
If you are feeling this way please get help. In the act of ending your pain you produce a hundred fold of pain for everyone else.
I am almost done my diploma in Addiction and Mental Health and this video made me ball my eyes out. The world is not the same anymore and I pray for all of those suffering. Stay safe, tell your friends and family you love them, get out and try that thing you have been putting off, much love.
Loved your post
Man, this video......soooo sad :( Made me think of a time when I didn't value my own life and tried to take it. I thank GOD to this day that I wasn't successful......
Living with a spouse that has emotional and depression problems is rough. Those of us that has done it do so because of the love we have for our partner. Been with my wife for 10 years, The ups, The downs, Don't mean shit to me as long as I am there b her side to keep her safe and sound. This video hit closer to home then I like. I love this video for what it means. I hate this video for the reality of what it depicts.
I agree with you brother
mb
Ken Brannon I've been on both sides ..
after years of someone I thought actually cared, I finally opened up and let him see that part of me and my past that I kept hidden. I hid it so well I that I was able to act like it was never there. I told him he could not handle that side. there is a reason. I don't like feeling like that. once I opened up and let him see why there are days I just wanted to be alone, or why I would not let him hug me, etc... the depression, anxiety, nightmares, suicidal thoughts, anger, hate... all that came back. he told me i was too dark, fuck up and he ran. glad to know there are still people out there that mean it when they promise they will always be there. gives me hope.
Dawn Teem
Exactly what I go through.
Just found out I’m bipolar 2.
I always thought the surges of energy were just happiness, and I never felt like anybody truly understood how low the lows would get.
To anyone dealing with this I love you . Don’t give up.
As someone who was in love with and in a relationship with someone like this, PLEASE talk to them. We don't understand. Honestly. My ex tried to kill her self over it, and it still haunts me. We love you, I promise, and we really want the best for you. We would give our soul to see you be happy forever.
I don’t listen to this song often but when i do, so do my neighbors
I lost my 14 yr old son last year and don't know if ill ever be fixable

What is with the number of dislikes? This song is fucking amazing, and has an amazing message to it.
Are all the frat boy "country fans" finding this or something, and can't stand real music?
its the video.
You are completely right that is BS to the max
There's no talk of tail gates down, daisy duke shorts, and he doesn't wear bedazzled jeans. Of course main stream country fans are going to dislike it.
neilzy696 That my friend, is a very valid point. I should have thought about that first huh
+neilzy696 this comment wins the internet
I innocently clicked on this video, and it really got to me. The message of this video is really powerful.
What the lyrics mean (to my understanding), is that he is not afraid to be with someone that has a mental illness. No matter what may happen or how hard the struggle may be, he will never leave or abandon her. Also seeing that he is a police officer, he knows what it's like to feel powerless and worthless everyday or almost everyday when he goes to work. Whether it be rolling up to a motor vehicle accident, domestic abuse, or even helping to get troubled individuals the assistance they may need. In general I believe this music video is trying to show the picture that no one is immune to PTSD, depression, eating disorders, or any other kind of mental health issues no matter how big or small. Mental health can affect anyone and everyone, from First Responders to everyday citizens and it's not as if it's a choice. Hopefully this helps.
+Ruth Quadros, you're welcome.
+Myron Metanchuk I agree, it seems she suffers from depression. You have good days and some very bad days, Anyone who has ever been there can see the signs in the video
I am married to a woman who is similar to this woman in the video 7 years ago she almost lost her battle and was in a coma for a few days and there have been some other times where things weren’t good but never that bad again but I relate to this all the way around I am not allowed to have a weak moment or get overwhelmed by anything because I have to make sure I am strong enough to be able to fight for 2 a lot of times especially right now as the Holidays are coming up and the current economic situation in this country she just gets so disheartened working 12 hours a day and still can’t meet our needs every day for anyone else that’s going through something like this the only advice I have is hold on with everything in you and love no matter how hard it may be to do sometimes if you are with them for better or worse you just have to do whatever you have to do to try to make it a little better every time you can we have been Married since 4/20/13 and I would do it all over again today but it does get hard sometimes
I know darkness and I know suffering all too well. My demons were great in numbers and in strength. I was alone in my fight so I could not face them. For many years I lived, or more survived rather, with my demons in full control. Eventually though after almost an eternity of looking for anything or anyone to help me out of this hell I was in and getting nothing but disappointment, and pain.
I found out how to open up my heart and mind to free my soul from its torment. My eyes were open for the first time in years. I then heard god tell me that now that I was awoken, there was much work to be done. So I let the world teach me what it could and took what God has offered. From that all I gained a weapon against my demons that imprisoned me from the inside. That weapon is called love. And it is a very powerful one at that. It was love for myself, something in which I haven't felt in years. Love for my family, neighbor, for God, for my country. I used this love to vanquish my demons in open battle. Yes, it was a hard battle that came with its sacrifices and pain, but in the end, I was free. Free from the evil inside, free to see color, to enjoy music, to get lost in pleasant thought and smile. To smile, was something which I don't believe I have ever really appreciated before in my life. And at the end of the battle, I was covered in sweat, tired and sore, but yet lighter than the air I breathed. And then I heard the familiar voice of an old friend, and he said to me, "Go my child, there is much work to be done."
The Lone Outlaw beautiful ❤️
I mean no disrespect at all, but when you say you "heard God", did you literally hear God? I struggle too and can't seem to hear much? Thanx
Amen to you, please help me to get to where you are today. I know I have work to do and that is why I have not taken my life yet. But right now it's getting too hard to keep going
@@karenmclaughlin1291 I love you
Jeremy Wilson I do not believe that God “spoke” to me, or at least not in the way you and I do.
I honestly do not “know” if God was involved at all, but that sense of awakening and those moments of clarity are so immense that I wouldn’t say anything against the idea.
If God was involved, directly or indirectly, I believe it was more of pointing me in the right direction. Instead of him carrying me towards my destination, he was the shining light in my own internal darkness, in which he let me seek directions towards the path I wish to walk in life.
In a sense, he did not bare my burden, but showed me the reason as to why I should fight. He gave me reassurance, and he gave me hope. In which I thought were long lost memories.
You are welcome to interpret my message how you choose. I hope that was of helpful in some way or another.
That's what loving someone with mental illness is like. It consumes you and in the end it can destroy you both.
+Brandy Thorne very true, the worst is.. at some point the person that had it worst moves on and 'survive' the situation, the other person struggles and its hard to move on
+Brandy Thorne i know i was there accute depression is hard to live with almost impossible without god that is your only hope to survive and it works
I'am in a such darkness place in my life.I need to do everything on my own. My parents don'st give a fuck about my. My Sister don'st care about my anymore. If i see here , the only thing i can see in her eye's is dissapointment. My closed friend, that i've known for 14 years, left my for a girl that he met 2,5 years ago.
I've no friends and i need to pull myself together. I've got fired from two jobs and i have no money left. I can't even feed my cat. I just sold my monitor just to eat and survive. I'm trying to find a job as soon as possible, but then again i'am just a lonley brother seeking for love.
Thank you chris for this song
Oh man, I'm sorry. I guess all I can say is that Jesus loves you and will never leave you if you will give your life to him. Jesus saves. He redeems, he heals, he makes us whole. He is calling for you to come to the cross and take refuge, lay down your burdens, lay down your shame, come as you are and he will do a work in you. He changes hearts and lives, do not doubt that he can do that in you.

Hello Linda how are you doing? I hope you are fine, I’m Jonathan from Dartmouth MA it’s my pleasure to meet, seems like you are a real country girl?
I've never liked country but this guy is just awesome! Love his music.
This ain't country...this is life. Look up early Steeldrivers and tell me that is Bluegrass......Chris is our Master Songsmith.....He writes what we feel......
Serius thanks for liking my cousins music!
Back to good
Also hate country music. Like, hate. Modern country that is, I like the oldies. With the exception of some of this of course.
Hes so awesome, One of the greatest country singers ever!
I still cry every time I watch this music video. It so resonates with me. My partner is the one there for me through thick and thin in my depression and this song just hits deep.
Mine disappeared in the dawn of a morning..
Went to chase a dream in Virginia.
Wanted me to move on
2 years later . I see that she's been gone for a year...Died with No friends , no mourning , no burial. Nobody cared.. and the sweetest soul you'd meet..
It resonates as if it's my fault , everyday..
As we were a happy couple , it didn't make any sense...
Just be happy with what you have. Cheers
I love my man. He’s my comfort and peace. ❤️🔥
Hello, how are you today? It’s nice to meet you here.
My fiance took his life 6 days ago and I miss him more than words can describe. The pain is neverending. I want him back. He brought me so much happiness, hope, peace and love. This world is a darker place without him. I love you, my sweet Junior.

Suicide has always been seen as a weak escape from problems we don't want to handle in the past. I think more and more every day we are recognizing it as the clarion call to society that we open our eyes and see those around us before they fall too far beneath the surface to save themselves. My heart breaks for your loss, but I pray that you find small glimpses of light in the memories you held of him. Snatches of music that remind you of the times of joy.
Helen. So sorry for your loss. Wish I could bring back any human. Hope you're well. Take care
I struggle with anxiety and depression and recently I lost my sister to cancer and I had a miscarriage a few weeks ago and trying so hard to stay positive I often listen to this song and cry
Please try to stay strong, even though it's hard ❤
@@melissaruiz7329thank you ❤
May you be blessed with the grace to see God's love for you despite what you may perceive as God not being there. Trust in God and give everything to Him, all your pain and sorrows. Put God first and watch Him make your life anew.

Long story short.. I moved to Oregon back in October of 1998, I was 21 and I didnt know anyone. I got a shitty factory job right away so I could support myself, and thats where we met. She was 23, and with some dirt on her cheek she introduced herself "Hi...(it was that super long pause you only see in the movies).... I'm Susie", she said. I was already in love by the time she said her name. I instantly fell in love with her, right then. We started dating and at times I needed to pinch myself because I honestly couldnt believe a girl this amazing and beautiful actually WANTED to be with me. Fast forward 3 years. We lived together and made friends together..we were starting a beautiful life together.
On a rainy March weekend I went out of town with my friends band (I would help carry gear, do lights, whatever was needed) and returned that Sunday evening, it was March 18th 2001 to learn that my Susanna had committed suicide and her body had been found that morning in a room at a hotel by the freeway.... I can clearly recall the exact moment that my heart was crushed and I became dead inside. It was like getting hit my a silent freight train.. I had no idea. Zero warning signs... nothing. Nothing except her goodbye letter to me. Im 40 years old now, .. I still have not been able to allow myself to love the way I loved her..
Tell the "one" in your life that you love them, before its too late..
R.I.P. Susanna Lynn Hathorn
I will always love you..
Great video, by the way.
zombie668 Just remember that in her mind she probably was feeling as if her very existence was torture to you. But in reality, it was the exact opposite. God bless her soul, at least she is not suffering anymore.
Always remember, you'll see her again. And you'll be together once again for all eternity. In peace. Happy. Together.
Part of me hopes it is that easy. Most of me knows that isnt a realistic hope to hold on to. And ALL of me knows, she was never "mine" to hold on to in the first place. I have chosen to try to use this as a way to learn something about myself and the world around me. Something that only she could teach me, even if that lesson had to come from her death... funny part is, I still dont know what it was I was supposed to take from this that makes me a more well rounded human being.... I have resolved that I may never know... and thats ok
Oh man imma cry
I did not consent to this feels trip.
this song makes me feel everything! all my emotions. see as a young girl right after I had my baby girl my life long strong mother was so hurt and down, aside I never saw before. she walked in to my room at the time she was living with me. she hurt so long so hard so many days with a smile on her face. see she walked in and held me thigh and expressed how much she loved me but could not feel the way she has for 13 years. she stepped back with the most broken lost hurt look any one could see in their mothers eyes. I could of died inside at that but then she slowly pulled a kitchen knife to her wrist as blood poured on to my floor as I cried out to her. see she hurt for 13 years over losing our dad of 6 daughters. she longed for his touch and strong shoulders that held her up when she was low. I hurt for what I experienced that day in my house as a new mom and for my family who had a loss. not everyone can hold it together for so long. I love this song and how I allows me to feel every bit of what's real it's a strong deep love song to so many. thanks for the share. God bless all thanks Casey landis
Not only is the song phenomenal-but hats off to the director of this video! The actors make it look like it’s really happening and the way it’s shot is absolutely haunting. A mini movie you can’t forget.

This is my ex I've lived through this
So true, you summed it up perfectly
@@tammeyslone3435 was tough to live through really tough but it's over now
Facts I was like I want to watch this movie that it was a soundtrack to 1
Chris Stapleton single handedly brought me back to country.
Michael Pena are you the actor Michael Pena or just another Mexicans
This is what country music should be
YES! I've always casually likes SOME country, but I feel like I love everything Chris Stapleton does. This being the top of the list for me. I can't get enough of it and this video cuts me to the core.
I'm very thankful this song wasn't released 15 years ago. My girlfriend who is now my wife went through a very deep and dark depression after her world collapsed around her. If I had heard these lyrics it would have broke me.
I cry at this song because we were so close to this happening,my best life decision was never giving up on her because it has been worth everything.
This song reaches me on a deep level.... I have ptsd, aniexty, bipolar with schizophrenia.... it's a struggle everyday. Thank you
Hello, how are you doing today? Thank you so much for your love and support.
Conversa com Deus ele vai te libertar mas no tempo dele essas são aprovações quê passemos mas tudo passa procure ele mas com fé de coração ele vai te ouvir nas madrugadas a melhor hora pra Deus nos escutar .
Every time I hear this song, no matter where I am, I break. I literally bawl. Loudly. For myself, for all the love I have given freely to those so undeserving, and for all the hurt that they caused me over the years.... and for all the people I hurt with my pain. I am so terribly sorry for my anger, my rage, my fears, my constant worry. I don't want to upset my loved ones.... sometimes, you just can't control the feels. And then THIS happens...this video is so spot on!!!!!!!!
Same
@wondering woman I feel you. I too suffer from severe depression, but this is about you. Healing from past hurt is tough however during my last hospitalization one of the doctors told me to not allow those memories to take space in your heart because they don’t deserve it. Sometimes getting mad is a good healing tool, letting go gives you more time spend happy. I pray that this will help you. God bless and live well.
I so feel you! I also give so much love and then get so much hate... I have made 2 attempts to end my life and then I had 2 heart attacks caussed by all the stress that I was dealing with... at the time, I wished that I wouldn't have made it... but I'm slowly learning to love myself... I have lost so many people... stay strong xxx
Thank you, every day is a fight. Yes, I have a wonderful family, friends, doctors, medication, but sometimes the world is to much. I am so sorry about your wife. Your statement did help. Thank you.
Wondering Woman you don’t owe apologies. It’s not your fault. My daughter and granddaughter both are diagnosed with bipolar depression disorder.they both feel the need to apologize sometimes too but I tell them I love them and they are my would. ❤
This video makes me cry my eyes out. I have PTSD and crippling anxiety. My fiance has had to hold me on several occasions ,talk me through my suicidal feelings and protect me from myself. I appreciate all he does for me but this video just makes me respect his strength and love for me even more. I love Chris Stapleton.
Cassy Leigh check out this video!!! It helped me get through some tough days. seriously check it out asap
OH WONDER - ALL WE DO
Dwayne Worthy Thank you so much for sharing that with me. What a beautiful video. ❤️
adam holder Thank you, I try everyday. I appreciate your kind words. ❤️
Cassy Leigh sorry to hear this my wife is really sick and cannot get help with her pain both physically and mentally Dr would rather just feed you a hand full of pills as too really sit and listen too what you have to say. keep your chin high as I tell my wife.
Michael Edwards Well thank God that you have your wife. Saying a prayer for you because I know what that feels like. There are good days and there are bad days and there are days where it doesn't feel like it's worth it to go on living but those moments when I realize the unconditional love and support I have been blessed with in my wonderful man, those are what I hold onto when I feel like I just can't take another minute inside my own head. Hold onto the precious moments and let them be the light in your darkness. ❤️
I just heard this song and it makes me cry Everytime I hear it my daughter suffers from depression tried taking her life when she was 13 years old she's 17 now it was truly the hardest thing I ever went through and now my other daughter is 13 now suffers bad with depression tried taking her life twice and as a mother it's so hard seeing your child go through it bullying is so terrible abd I pray no mother ever goes through what my daughters have 🙏
💞💞🙏👊🌠
Keep breathing and make sure you keep rolling all music back to back ..if you wanna dialogue more my first digit is 616 followed by 675 then 298 and 7.
Pretty cool and humble dude for someone who can sing better than anyone in the industry
He is considering he wrote half of the songs that thr pretty boys sing.
I'm addicted to Chris stapeltons entire album
Same here, and I'm a metal head.
+Joe Thoman same here bro. i took a break from acacia strain and black tongue to appreciate the music of a man who represents what real country music is about. Its not twangy accents, trucks, mud, and tan legged drunk girls. Its life, hardships, ups and downs and its all beautifully arranged by him. this is as real as it gets.
best song ever
Sometimes you can't save someone that doesn't wanna be saved. :/
You don't understand how badly we want to be saved. sometimes you don't get that option. Turned away, left hopeless begging for help. it's not something you can just turn off and on
Suzanne Ambrose we all want to be saved
you just don't know; everyone wants to be saved; maybe not your way.
@@michaelwicks6083Not true
Unable to move on from the love of my life after 5 years. I'll never love another and it is out of my control. I keep answering texts from her and it rips me to peices everytime. This is why country music exists. I didn't get before I met her. I worked a new job rebuilding my life and country was on the radio every day. It made me fall more and more in love. Every song that came out during that time haunts me. Write a song about that Mr. Stapleton.
❤❤❤
Wow God bless you for addressing mental illness. And beautiful song!!
