I'm only 17 and this January I lost my dad from a drug overdose. I never knew he was doing drugs this was so sudden but he was the kindest dad ever, I guess he just had some problems, I love you dad I'll stay strong for you. EDIT: It's been three years since I posted this and the support and attention on this comment has been unreal everyone. I'm in a lot better of a place now than where I was back then, time is definitely one the best medicines. It'll always hurt to think about, but having good people in your life really is key. Keep going and don't give up, even if it seems that all hope is lost because things will eventually get better, which everyone's immense positivity help me realize. I can't thank anyone who left a kind comment enough for the sincere words, you guys have no idea what that meant to me I never expected this much attention. Thank you all so much and continue to stay strong!
Playstation Gaming 😡😡😡😡 I don't normally get angry but what you just said is the most cruel thing possible. Who the hell do you think you are?! Don't even try to argue. She lost her dad! And you make a joke of it. And wish terror among her family. YOU BELONG IN AN INSTITUTION. Somebody help me out here!!!
When I was in highschool my Mother was a huge Fray fan and got me hip instantly. We used to listen to this one in particular a lot. She had a habit of helping people, and it often took a lot out of her. I think this song sort helped her feel her way through the 'muck' so to speak. She had a lot of her own issues and I think helping others took the spotlight off of that. She knew how to save others, but couldn't seem to save herself. She drank a lot unfortuantely. As time went on, that grew into substance abuse, and eventually addiction. She still played this song a lot though, trying to remain positive. Last year in April, the 5th, she lost that fight. Things are different now. This song is different now. I still love it, but I find it very hard to listen to at times. I still have the memories, pictures, old voicemails I refuse to delete, but not her. I keep going because I feel that I have to, for her. Some days are easy, some days are really, really, hard. I have lots of questions, lots of things to say that I will never get to. In time things will settle, life will return to normal, or whatever the new normal will be. Now, this song has found me again, at a time where it seems I have to save my own life. This ones for you Mom, and for me, and for anyone else struggling, for those worried about loved ones, whoever needs it. Please keep going.
Please keep in mind, it doesn't mean that she hasn't loved you. For some people an existence is too heavy burden to bear. Remember her for who she was for you.
That was beautiful. I ask everyone to have faith in yourself nd what you can do. Truth be told you can do anything you put your mind to, that strength was always there it just has yet to be found.
@IDONTLIKEMONDAYS-w2h You know what, lemme ask you something... You ever been to Mexico? Its my home country and its a beautiful place to visit and enjoy, so I want you to go there before you die. You won't regret it, really
I remember when my close friend killed himself. It was the toughest time in my life. He was only 12 at the time and his dad really abused him, and some days he would go without food. I remember getting told about it and feeling devastated, but I felt bad about myself, I couldn’t stop thinking about what I could have done to help him, and it has for the last few years. I’m currently 14 and there is not a day that doesn’t go by that I don’t think about him. I’ll always remember his smile, and the time we got caught drinking beers in my garage. I loved you Tom like brother. I remember reading his note that he left out on the table before he left. All it said was “it’s not your fault. I just wasn’t meant to be here. Just don’t get beat up over me. You’re all better off without me.” Reading that cracked my heart. I wanted to tell him how much he meant to me, and how he was the brightest thing in my life. This was always his favourite song and he always listened to it in the morning on the way to school. Tom, I just want to say that wherever you are, I hope you fit in there, and get the love you truly deserved.
Reading this comment, reminded me of most of friends experiencing this on their own and couldn't tell anyone about it, because they were trapped and had no where to escape the worst. I offered many suggestions to them and they had an idea of trying to hold themselves out and need to find a way out as quick as possible. I wish, I could help that person with his father also abusing them, because of not being better than other people in his class and must get the highest grades in the school. It hurts to not do anything for this person, so all I can do is keep in contact and pray that they'll be ok. It's so saddening to hear such stories on young people having to experience such a traumatic parts of their life, which having to mentally and physically hurt themselves to the core of no return. Just remember that your friend will always be in your heart and you couldn't read his thoughts, even if you wanted too, but stay strong for him, no matter.
almost 10 years ago, when i was still a teenager in highschool, being bullied by classmates was part of a usual day so i would make myself small and silent. All of this made a depressive teenager and it was getting darker as it went. I was losing interest in going to school. One day out of no where two people came and sat next to me (where i would always go during breaks) they sat next to me and lightly tried to engage a conversation, not wanting to engage i would continue reading. so they sat next to me and continued talking together. everyday they came and sat at the same spot, next to me, and they would talk together. After some time i slowly started talking to them, and in no time i had made new friends and my days were starting to become brighter. By doing this simple action they might have actually saved a life! one of the two became a very good friend. I am glad she was there for me, and to this day she does not know how her actions affected me in a positive way.
That hit me, I was bullied alot and broke down alot at home, I'm 22 now but awhile ago I overdosed because of how heavy the weight of the world got, but my mum was there for me and still is, if it wasn't for her ringing an ambulance wouldn't be here, something inside of me wanted to just sit there and let it happen but there was no way I could leave my family with that pain, and i may not know you but it'd great you're still here on this earth, keep your chin up
my wife died 2 months ago, after a hard year with endless hospital visits, chemo therapys, operations, everything. she was only 30 years old. I love her so much and miss her every day. still dont know how to handle it, when the woman you love more than anything else die in your arms. everyone please stay safe and healthy.
I'm so sorry sweet pea... "Runes of comfort for the bereaved" by Ralph Blum "I am the life and the light and the way- The Earth is my garden. Each of the souls I plant as seeds germinate and flower in its own season, and in each I am fulfilled. There is no cause for grief when a bloom fades but only rejoicing for the beauty it held and praise that my will is done and my plan served. I am one with all creatures and none is ever lost, only restored unto me having never left my side at all. For what is it mortal cannot be separated from its source. I am with you all, And each of you is a channel for my light. Feel My Love enfold you now and forever more."
This song means a lot of things for me. And probably for everyone else. For years, I've struggled with my mental health, and as a result, I've lost a lot of friends. On the other hand, it drove me to multiple suicide attempts. The man who is now my best friend saved my life. He lost his father to suicide before he was born and knew the pain. He pointed out to me how much hurt it would produce if I ended up following through with my plans. Thank you, Axden. Mum, I'm sorry I ever thought it was a good idea. Dad, I love you to bits. I'm sorry for how I treated you. Archie. I dont tell you how much I love you as often as I should. But as your older brother, know I do love you to bits. To all the people I mistreated in moments of anger, bitterness, and misery. I'm sorry. I hope one day you can forgive me. And to the Fray. Thank you for making this song. God bless you all.
You’re a good person, you know that right? I resonated with your story a bit because I pushed away my friends because of my mental health. I also said some harsh things in my lowest moments to the people who I loved the most. I don’t know exactly what your situation was so I won’t compare but I’m glad you shared your story . Thank you ❤
Lost one of my best friends to suicide 7 years ago. This song came out when we were in high school, and it reminds me of the good times we spent together. I unintentionally come back here once a year to reminisce, usually after midnight, when everything is quiet. Today is one of these days. Luis, wherever you are, I miss you man. I know life was a burden to you, but you are still alive in our thoughts. RIP
Thank you for posting this. I just lost a best friend from high school from suicide. He served in the air force. The last video I have with him we are singing this song. I came here to find some piece of him. Seth, where ever you are. I’m sorry I failed you, I will love and miss you forever my friend.
My grandma died recently. She was the only family left in my life. My father and mother died when I was a baby. Mother from cancer and father from a car accident. Grandma raised me and helped me go through the struggles of not having parents. Her dying left me feeling so empty. This song always brings me to tears. :'(
This is empathy 101. If a depressed person is suicidal it is never because he/she wants to die. Its just that living is to hard in his/her perspective. The art in saving someone is in showing them alternatives while starting from their perspective.
Well said. At my age what I've been through may be trivia to another not including the part with my Daughter. Life seems to be Daunting when your not able to sort out your problems. On the other hand it's only Daunting if you care so as you may see these two things are very confusing and important.
I'm not sure whats worse...the fact that the world feels empty without you....or the fact that I know I will never accept that you're no longer in this world.
Leaving this comment so I can come back to it October 2026. I'm literally inches from death. Lost everything I ever worked for or called mine. I'm a severe drug addict right now; up to my eyeballs in debt. Something inside me died a few years ago and my life has been a downward spiral ever since. But I need to change. There has to be a way. My life is ruined beyond repair but I need to atleast salvage something. Its the more noble way to go out. Hopefully life goes on, and gets better, and i see you here in 2 years.
Hey bro you got this, life brings many battles and hardships but you should never give up. You have so much meaning. You just need to discover your own meaning in life, it may take time and be hard but I promise you the battles will all be worth it in the end.
You are loved, you are heard, you are understood, and you are NOT alone. You are so brave to be willing to stop. It takes extreme bravery and courage to stop a drug addiction, and I already tell you have that extreme courage.
@@dizzee6089 Yo, it aint that easy... People are different and it's hard for some people to even say anything at times... that comment is really insensitive regardless joking or not. Even with the new gen being "soft" this isn't a topic to joke about. Sorry if I triggered anything, didn't mean too. Just explaining
@@dizzee6089 That's really big of you. I don't speak for everyone in the comment section, but I did feel people would have gotten hurt reading that. Thank you for deleting that comment! Most people would have just kept it to be "funny". I'm glad that you understand.
I was with my dad holding his hand when he took his last breath, then 4 years later I was with my mom holding her hand as she took her last breath. I had told her I wouldn't let her hand go until dad reached down to grab it. "Mom, when you're ready to reach for his hand I will be ready to let go of yours". I thank God for allowing me to live that experience.
“If you love someone, you tell them. Even if you’re scared that it’s not the right thing. Even if you’re scared that it’ll cause problems. Even if you’re scared that it will burn your life to the ground, you say it, and you say it loud and you go from there.” -Mark Sloan
I have major depression and anxiety and I can't even do any of that and been trying for years to even feel love at and ask myself why what's the point of anything

My best friend killed himself a week ago. He was only 17. I'll always regret that I couldn’t give him a hug and make him know how much he meant to me. If only I had seen what was in front of my face
@@kam2894 dude I know that I'm just some random guy from the Internet and we don't know each other but please don't do this life will get better I promise
If you’re reading this: Things get better. You don’t need to believe me, but at least stick around long enough to see a change. Because there will be one. No matter how long you spend crying, you’ll be okay in the end. I love you. I need you. I want you here. Don’t give up.
It's amazing that music can move people to say stuff like this It's sounds cheesy, but i have no doubt you meant every word, and that it was exactly what someone needed
Every now and then music gives us hope and courage to win our loneliness and our daily struggles . just keep hanging on we can all win our struggles eventually
LYRICS: Step one, you say we need to talk He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left, and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame You begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Let him know that you know best 'Cause after all, you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along And pray to God he hears you And I pray to God he hears you And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life How to save a life How to save a life Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life How to save a life How to save a life ✌🏾
I love you, Mindy. I tried to get you to stay that night, but you didn't. If I had known you were going to die less than 3 hours later I would've begged you or gone with you. Life sucks without you, Dogg. 5/18/08
I lost my best friend on march 31st, his last message was a meme he sent me and everyday I wonder if I just stayed up later would I be able to do something different, he was only 21 and he was the most cheery person even though he battled demons, his birthday is coming up and I wanted to say this somewhere, I really miss him.
@@alexamelchor2787 I’m not much older than you are but you’ll be glad you found this song at 13. I wish I found this song sooner, I’m sure everyone else feels the same.
I remember when my best friend committed suicide, i was angry, frustrated, sad, and confused. I didn't cry much because you stupid guy thing. That monday, i was driving home from work, and i had my music on shuffle, and this song came on... i never cried so much in my life. I apologized and understood and accepted it... i miss you so much, Josue, until next time, my friend🕊
Eferson Borges F for your friend hes in a better place and hopefully hes watching over you andif you don believe in religion then im sorry for your loss man
To my mom, who I lost to cancer in 2016. I know I was 26 so an adult, but inside I was still very much a child. And to my grandmother, who died 2 weeks after her. I miss you both. It's a deep wound that will never totally heal. We just learn to live with it.
Actually kinda hate that this song is only about the singer having fights with his brother but they get along now. Everyone else thinks its suicide idk kinda annoys me. Love the song tho
It's the people & the music for me. I love how they portray happiness, sadness, smiles, tears, some real pain & everything in between. It touches my heart & I realize we're all human animals. It lets me know we're all in this together.
I am 31 years old and I have lost many close people from suicide, drugs, drinking n driving, war, deceases i have seen kids cry for a parent and I've seen parents cry over the loss of a child all this has changed me and has made me a better man not to take life for granted we only have a certain amount of time here on this earth and we should all cherish every single second of it yes our anger sometimes gets the best of us but we learn to let go of bad issues be happy, live life, and have fun 😃
you're right, but it can be so hard to just live life, and have fun, when everything you do is sorrounded by thoughts of unfullfilled love... and you're just lonely. And yeah, i tried to go out alone and have fun, but it just doesn't work for me, it's not possible. Yeah, sure, i can be alone, and to things on my own, but i just need friends in my life.
+OriginalLappen idk how old your really are but for every person there is a friend the hard part is finding your type of friends but now a days it shouldn't be that hard just be an open type person or be willing of trying new things but hope u do find some good friends I'm sure u will 😃
I lost my brother to suicide on December 31st, I found him with my mom. It was so shocking I saw him that morning but I didn't even say hi and stayed on my laptop. He had schizophrenia and got new meds so I thought maybe give him time to rest. i don't know. He was 26 turning 27. If I could give half of my life to bring him back I would. All my friends didn't really know how to comfort me so I got mad and now I have no friends anymore. I don't do anything and sometimes I wonder if I should even exist. I have faith things will change but what's the point? But I know how much pain and suffering and heartbreak my mom got when he died because he cared for her so much they were best friends. I try my best to go out and be ok but I can't afford a therapist or to even do things by myself so I just end up watching tv wasting my life and crying.
So sorry bro... Know that your brother is in a better place and that you and your mom are strong. Things WILL get better. Letting everything out is ok❤️
I think going to a therapist is insured by your health insurance, you need that shit bro bc remember it was never your brothers intention to have such an affect on your life. Stay strong and life will be waiting for you til you can stand on your own feet again❤️
try to talk to your friends again they will understand it's hard i battle with suicidal thoughts everyday too stay strong man and talk to your mom together you can do it i'm cheering you on
@@thedarkhamster9691 😭😭😭😭 back the you could walk anywhere with no worrys now you got to worry about gitting killed or just jumped sad world i want that all back
This was My Mom’s favorite song 😭 I miss you so much mom. Fly high ☝🏽❤️☁️ (Thank you so much to everybody for the condolences. I really appreciate the support. To Those who have lost anybody in their life, stay strong 🙏🏽)
My dear friend died in a bike crash many years ago. Half of his face and body were badly crushed, and I’ve forgotten how they looked. But I still vividly remember how broken I felt that day. I cried while holding him in the morgue, remembering that only a week before, I had joined his family for dinner. At that dinner, I could feel the joy radiating from his little family of three. I've always admired his grateful family and did everything I could to protect them. He was a good father and husband, someone I looked up to. On the day of the accident, some erratic drivers caused my friend to make a dangerous maneuver, just when he was exhausted from all his hard work and duties. To this day, I still regret I couldn't help him more
7 years Christian. 7 years since you took your life. 7 years since I've seen you. I would have stayed up with you all night if I knew the signs that were in front of my face. I miss you so much and I will see you when He let's me. High school wasn't the same without you and I will never forget you. I love and miss you so much Christian
It's been eight long years since I lost a dear friend to suicide. Friends from high school, we met up again when he started coming into my work at least once a week. When I was going through a really hard time, where I wasn't honest with the depression I was going through, my weekly conversations kept me going just as much as seeing my children's faces. I was working up the courage to tell him how much those moments meant to me and what HE meant to me. My friends knew I was into him, but I didn't think he could ever feel that same way about me. I was so down on myself, I didn't think anyone could ever want me. I never got the chance to tell him...he was battling his own demons. After going through a bad breakup, he was a light in the dark. Even though I've moved on, been with the man of my dreams for almost seven years and married for three and a half, the "what ifs" go through my head. Mike...I miss you every, single day. I hope I was just a little of your light in the dark as you were mine.
I cried reading this, especially at the end. I'm so sorry for your loss, I'm sure you meant so much to him, Meg. I'm wishing you the best in life and I'm so happy Mike could be there for you in those times
My brother took his life four days ago. DONT EVER FEEL LIKE YOURE ALONE. YOURE ALWAYS LOVED. ALWAYS. YOUR LIVES MATTER. THEY MATTER MUCH MORE THAN YOU KNOW. I GOT THREE LIVES TO LIVE NOW. DONT EVER THINK YOU HAVENT DONE ENOUGH, DONT EVER THINK THAT YOURE ALONE. you always have someone who appreciates you, you have always made a difference. This world won’t ever be the same without you. It WILL get better , just be around to see it. I love yall
My condolences for the loss of your brother. Be strong you are not alone too and thanks for the sweet words, we love you back too. Srry for my Bad english greetings from Austria bro
Thank you so much for this. This Friday is my brother memorial day. (He committed suicide). It nearly broke my dad. I have struggled with depression for over 3 years now and the only thing that keeps me going is my dad. I would never put him through that pain again.
This song is about the lead singer's experience with a friend who was struggling with substance abuse and the lead singer's feelings of helplessness in trying to help his friend. The song addresses themes of regret, empathy, and the desire to reach out and help someone in need. It became popular for its emotional lyrics and powerful message about the importance of reaching out to those who are struggling.
Found this: “How to Save a Life” deals with the heavy themes of loss, regret, and the inability to intervene in a life spiraling out of control. Lead singer, Isaac Slade drew inspiration from his experiences as a mentor for a camp for troubled teens, where he met a young man with whom he failed to connect.
Hurtful yes, but how do you give anyone hope that things get better. Because it’s not a fact that things get better. For some people, it never gets better. At that point, the only hope you can give them is that this life isn’t all there is. At some point, the suffering does end, and then peace begins forever. That’s the symbolic message of Christ. The end of his life was suffering, but at last he could rest in Heaven. Hope can’t be given by small reassurances because often the suffering is too great. There wasn’t hope for Jesus on the cross, not in that moment, but there was hope after. So you want my advice, help people whenever practically possible, but when help isn’t possible, give them Christ.
@@godisgood201 Not to rain on the parade, but people will be eternally remorseful if they think they will just go to heaven when they die. Even though eternal life is a free gift, they need to understand the gospel of salvation found in the Bible and receive that free gift of eternal life by trusting completely in Christ and His finished work on the cross for them for salvation from eternal damnation. Once they truly do, then they are born anew, and then they know exactly where they're going when they die. Not because of any works of righteousness which they have done, and not because of any sins which they didn't do... or will ever do... but because of God's mercy to us in Christ, and the redemption that we have through His innocent blood, which He shed on the cross for the remission of our sins.

TW Yesterday, I witnessed a suicide attempt. I was on a foot bridge and suddenly a girl went up to the edge of the railing. I panicked. I did not know what to do. My initial reaction is to call for someone to help. Another passer by was able to pull her away, and she cried so hard. All I can do is console the girl, and assist her to a nearby clinic. I wish I was stronger. I’m ashamed of my reaction at that moment. I hope she’s alive. I hope she’s okay.

Every time I heard this song I think about my son’s 32 year old friend and business partner that took his own life in 2020. Sad thing is there was no clue anything was troubling him. RIP, Bud!❤
If you're reading this, you're alive and I'm happy that you are if your reading this, you are alive. you are an amazing unique person and i’m proud of you.
sometimes, you need that and it doesnt have to be because you dont want too live anymore you just need some one there fore you. even a complet stranger. Thanks!
I was anti social and didn't have much a social life until my later teens. When I listen to nostalgic music it makes me sad about all of the fun times I missed out on. :(
My brother lost his battle with depression in July 2020. We were so close, we were 2 and a half years apart, but my dad says we were like twins. Only he was much better than me. He was the most honorable, kind hearted person I have ever known. Never one to hold a grudge or say a bad word about anyone. I can't help but feel I failed him. I'm still not able to grasp my new reality and my life feels like it's at a stand still and I'm not sure how to get it going again.
I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. You didn’t fail your brother, please know that despite what he was going through you were a positive light in his life and made his time here special. His memory will live on through you and time will heal. Wishing you the best❤️
hey, english is not my first language so i’ll try to make this clear. please know that it’s not your fault. as a person struggling with depression i know that it’s a tough battle and that the last thing your brother wanted was for you to blame yourself. it’s not your fault at all. depression takes everything away from you and every day you’re alive is a win. i’m proud of your brother and i’m proud of you. please know that it’s not your fault at all and i’m really proud of you. may he fly high💕🕊
Mañana esparciremos tus cenizas donde creemos dijiste era tu lugar en el mundo. Hoy fue el dia mas triste de mi vida, amigo Robert! Te juro por mi vida que si no te hubiéramos fallado y si hubiera sabido como salvar una vida, no hubieras tomado esa decisión o al menos estaríasun dia mas conmigo. Sé que hice mal. Ayer perdí un amigo. Y no me lo voy a perdonar nunca. Encuentro esta canción, mientras me muero por dentro. Solo espero que me perdones por no haber estado!
This song is so hard to listen to now. Lost my dad to suicide 2 years ago and I still can't accept it. I just want to talk to him one more time. Just want to be able to say goodbye... I love and miss you dad...

I'm so sorry. No matter how we try, the illness takes over. It's no one's fault. It's depression. A real illness. No one's fault. We try to defeat that illness. No one's fault when our efforts are defeated.
Hi everyone, Following my post 10 months ago. I would like to say I've beaten the cancer for the moment, following the forequarter amputation in February :) Thank you all for your prayers as they were what kept me strong and gave me the stamina to go on in life :) Love you all ❤️
Moral of the song......Always be willing to talk to your loved ones . Never walk away when done is suffering or you think that someone needs you to listen. Every person is precious and beautiful deserving of love and support.
@@twinedmouse7821 Well, I'm going to get things from my father this weekend as he is going to die quite soon. Stage 4 metastatic cancer. And my wife was arrested on absolutely ridiculous charges, so as a result they confiscated my two children as well. So...a bit alone.
@@biotoxic9691 Tch that's horrible.... I do hope you have the strength the carry on now I really do.. Even my father has cancer not as severe as yours but I know how you feel.. Have strength yeah?
When there is just a letter and no one knew about what was wrong. the inner struggle was unknown to the closest. Would we have know we could have saved a husband, a father, a son and a friend. "It`s a little much at the moment." Depression said. Oh, how much was it really? 3 Years of tears. We miss you.
Nothing can prepare you for the goodbye you never thought you’d have to say. The loss that you never thought you’d have to face or the sadness that you never thought you’d have to feel.
I lost my mom 5 years from now, and I regret not being next to here when she died, and till this moment, I hate myself self for not apologizing for what I used to do and for not telling her how much she is important for me and that I love her the most
Having to say goodbye to my fiance' who was brain dead and having to make the decision to take him off life support is something I will never forget. I have had to learn to live with it but I will never forget.
I used to listen to this song when I was a kid yet I don't really knew the message. Not until today. I also lost a friend from depression, she commited suicide. I should've known how to save her, years after she passed I still see her in my dreams.
I am so sorry for your loss. You cannot blame yourself for this. There is no rule book on this. For some people, they just don’t realize how much they mean to others. She didn’t understand how much this was going to hurt you. You can keep her memory alive. Many times, the suicidal hide their plan from those they love, because she didn’t want you to change her mind. You need to talk to someone, who will uplift you and help you through this. I will pray that she Rest In Peace. I pray that God comfort you and guide you through the days of your life. We can chat if you ever need. God bless you.
3 years ago my best friend was at her worst. I would stay up at night listening to this song crying feeling helpless. It’s taken time, but she’s doing so much better now. The other day we went on a little road trip and this song came up on the radio. We both started singing. I can’t describe the feeling, but it was something special :)
Whenever I'm feeling depressed I usually come here. This song is therapeutic to me. Well, 2 weeks before Christmas I lost my dad and now its got a different meaning. He died from complications due to his health and COVID. Here I am, trying to cope.
I have lost my entire family to life illness and other things..but always had my wife of 18yrs..then she divorced me....I was almost homeless and had to give away my only friend ..my horse for I couldn't afford to feed him also. I prayed to God to please take me...and if he didn't I would know that he had a plan for me....fast forward I am making more money than I ever did and am living comfortably still am a single guy and get offers for dates and things...but I just want my wife back......though I know she will never be back....I guess we all carry some type of pain around.
I lost a dear friend of mine who passed away on the 24th of April earlier this year.. She took her own life because things for her were far too harsh, and she didn't know who or what to turn to. She kept being faced with hardships one after another until it was overwhelming.. I listen to this song often, because I wish I'd known more about her situation at the time. I wish I had more resources at the time, and most of all I wish I could have been there for my dear friend so I could have at least tried to save her life.. It still tears me up to this day, and it always will.. My only hope now is that she's not suffering anymore.
Lost a friend in May. Heartbroken. Plans of getting older together. Just gone. Hate it i hope with all my being that we'll be together again. I feel for you. It hurts more than anything so far.
I just want a reason to feel ok, everything has gone wrong this year, and for me many years before, I don’t want to live but I know others would miss me at least a bit, my extended family wouldn’t understand. every time I listen to this song I cry I just want to feel happy but I haven’t felt pure joy for so long, I just want everything to be ok, and I wish I could just end the pain and get it over and done with. I feel as if no one cares anymore so what’s the point now.
no point if you cant find one maybe its time to change the pen and make a new line be crative be new try to try to change to be samthing you wulde have been if you were happy from the bigging
Why would you end your life because you aren't happy now and haven't been happy for the shorter bit of your lifecycle? Go do what makes you happy go change those things you don't like go get stronger mentally go test yourself go follow YOUR DREAMS! You don't need anyone to make yourself happy.
In the past year alone: -figured out that my girlfriend I was together with for 5 years, only cared because she felt sorry for me - figured out one of my best friends was an empath and every problem of mine was her's, I could never look at her eyes, because she would always look back and start to cry - moved away from best friends that I new half my life - I went to an after school teen center, on my last day, the manager had everybody throw a big departure party -I was head of an after school Magic The Gathering club, on my last day, everybody gave me something that I will never give/throw away. A custom build deck box that said "May your deck be as good as your friendship". - my childhood home was put on the market, because we were finding a new home. -emailed one of my friends from Germany (the place I moved from) and told her that I missed her, and she replied that she didn't even notice that I moved. No matter what, never give up hope. Things will always get better. I don;t expect anyone to read my problems, but if you do, I hope that you never have to endure the pain that I felt.
I hope i'll survive. I hope i can find strength. I hope to never be the story being told by someone, about how they could have saved me but couldnt. But it's hard to continue living like this. At the very least, this song makes me feel like my own life can have some sort of worth.
My best friend did that last year brother at just 14 and from a family/friend standpoint all it has brought his family and friends was the same pain he felt it will not be fixed by you leaving this earth no matter what the reason is times will get better you will be happy I promise you that I expect a response from you everyday until you are freed from this depression I belive in you my friend
My sons godmother k*lled herself 6 years ago in December 18th. Listen, what you’re thinking about doing behind will be total destruction for everyone who loves you & YES people love you. I’ve suffered from addiction & depression all my life but it does get better, you probably don’t want to hear that but I couldn’t save Nikki maybe I can help you. Please stay. We don’t know what happens after death what if it’s worse?? You’re here for a reason,, stay and find that reason
Where did I go wrong? I lost my dad Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life. That's hat hit you.... I feel so close to you.... Pls be brave .....
I lost my friend to suicide a couple of days ago. I immediately wanted to hear this beautiful song. I wish I could be there for her, I wish I really did. I'm so sad I'm not gonna be able to touch or see her anymore. I will miss her a lot.
My cousin died last december 5 because of depression and stressed. He just cant handle the pain of being left alone inspite of having a big family but no one reaches out for him. He was so hopeless and i was wondering what could we have done to save him but everything is done and gone. Please if you are reading this and experienced this kind of feeling talk to someone reach someone that you can talk to and tell all your worries and fears.
Every time I hear this song, I cry for all of those that are in pain, feel hopeless, and think that the pain is never going to end. The pain can end... (in a positive way..) Back at the end of 2017, my best friend attempted. She was struggling for at least 6 months. She felt like she was losing her mind, her car was breaking down, she was getting into financial trouble, and nothing was professionally working out for her. Everything was just piling up on her. On top of that, she told her sister that she wanted to end it and her sister called the cops on her, and the landlord found out (she had been staying at a guesthouse). I stayed the weekend with her to help her feel better, and tried to help her get through it, but it didn't work. She felt guilty that I unconditionally loved her when she felt that she didn't deserve that love. I did stay up with her all night the last night.. I made the mistake of going to work on Monday and nearly lost her. I figured.. it doesn't matter what I say or do.. She is going to do what she wants, but at least she knows I care.. I texted her throughout the day and she said that she felt better. But then at 3 I didn't hear from her. I figured she was taking a nap. I got very worried about her and left work early. I got to her place and she was in the bathtub, having taking a number of pills. But she was still moving! I thought, "Better angry than dead" and called 911. I got her to a hospital and saved her life!! I stayed the next day to take care of dog and just take the day off. They took her in the middle of the night to mental facility and charged her for the ambulance ride (don't get me started on that!). When she got back, I stayed with her the next two weeks (luckily I already had vacation days planned for the holidays) and helped her get her life back on track. She was definitely angry with me for at least 6 months. Fast forward to today, while it has been a struggle and there have been some moments, for the most part she has been able to cope with all the pressures and she says she is motivated to do better!! And she never wants to go down that road again. :-) She recently changed her diet to an all plant-based foods and she has gotten her mind back! She now no longer has those thoughts! I am so happy she is still here. :-) To all those who feel hopeless... things can get better! Reach out and never let go...
I’m sorry I didn’t meet up with you that day Ryan. It’ll always be one of my biggest regrets. Even just getting to speak to you one more time before you left would have been enough for me. We grew apart when we went to college, but I’ll never forget you. I nearly joined you a few times already but I now know I need to carry on. Sorry to anyone randomly reading this. I’m not good at emotions or therapy
thank you so much for that comment. Im often thinking about suicide (not crying for your help, just a fact) and its getting more serious. Somehow the youtube algorithm often gets me to this vid when its too bad. Reading your comment makes me think of my best friend. Like if she had written it one year in the future adressing me. I feel like i am Ryan and you are my best friend. Thus there are two main aspects your comment strongly reminds me of. First of all I dont want to hurt her. And I dont want her to contemplate suicide nor get any kind of depressions because i love her way more than myself and i know how bad it is. Especially not because of anything i did. I dont want to make her live with such a burden. Second thought is that she probably loves me even more than she told me. People are weird when it comes to that. They wouldnt tell you too much about their feelings but when youre gone they wish they would have. That goes for each and everyone of us and its a shame because it causes even more pain on so many different levels. Ive often thought about both of these aspects before and Im convinced that this is why i didnt do it yet. However your comment went directly into my heart and made me cry within split seconds, thinking of her writing such a comment after i killed myself. Do whatever helps you to cope with it and whatever helps you to carry on. Everybody has to find his/her own way to cope with the sadness. There are many cheesy phrases like that Ryan would have wanted you to live on. Or that Ryan will live on in your memory. But remember theyre true. Anyways thank you very much again for your letter. I feel like i will come back to it quite often when i feel too down again. Maybe you just saved some lifes!
Going through these comments, sobbing uncontrollably, I see how much hurt we are as humans, it gets so damn hard at times! I wish happiness and peace was not that hard to find! Stay strong guys, love y'all! ❤️
@@JC-bq3vd I dont know what he may be going through i still to this day dont know the demons mike faced but he lost due to him losing contact with me and his other friends. Dont let that happen. Keep in contact and dont give up on him. ..... Years ago I failed mike . be the reason he holds on!
@@dakelong6047 I'm so sorry to hear about Mike. In my little seaside town in the North East of England there's been an epidemic of young, seemingly happy young lads who have taken their own lives. Two brothers did it within weeks of each other then their other brother tried it too but he lived. There's been too many to count and they all used the same method, hanging. It seems to be the go to method for men. I've been completely blind sided by some of them, people I've known my whole life since starting first school. I think it's because men don't feel like they can talk about mental health issues, they feel ashamed when they shouldn't. Things are getting better in that respect but it took a load of deaths for things to change. That's just suicides, the amount of overdose deaths is even more staggering, for a small town I bet there's easily been over 500 since the early 90s. My cousin was one of the first in 93, 18 young people died in one year when heroin became a big problem here. Then the numbers just keep increasing as more people die each year. I'm not exaggerating when I say its pretty much every other week I'll hear of another death of someone I know. You didn't fail Mike, well I doubt you did, you might feel like you did but if you could have saved him you would have by the sounds of it so don't beat yourself up about it ♥️
I wish I could’ve told him how much I love him, despite blood he was my brother through and through. God how I miss him, I should’ve told him how much he meant to everyone because now I can’t. I regret it constantly, I pray to god he knows, deserved literally nothing but the best.

My dad didnt even know who his real father is until he was 18, his father just died at ge 60, my dad hadnt talked to him in 7 years, and that time was the 2nd time he met him
My grandpa passed away on Monday. I was going to see him on Tuesday. I didn't realize he had gotten cancer and it rapidly spread. I regret not seeing him earlier, because I didn't get to say goodbye, and now that chance will never come back. I'm really sorry grandpa, I'm really missing you right now... Rest In Peace.
same thing happened to me later last year my grandmother had cancer all out her body and when I she was put into our house to pass away and she died from kidney failure and i didnt even get to say goodbyd
I'm only 17 and this January I lost my dad from a drug overdose. I never knew he was doing drugs this was so sudden but he was the kindest dad ever, I guess he just had some problems, I love you dad I'll stay strong for you.
EDIT: It's been three years since I posted this and the support and attention on this comment has been unreal everyone. I'm in a lot better of a place now than where I was back then, time is definitely one the best medicines. It'll always hurt to think about, but having good people in your life really is key. Keep going and don't give up, even if it seems that all hope is lost because things will eventually get better, which everyone's immense positivity help me realize. I can't thank anyone who left a kind comment enough for the sincere words, you guys have no idea what that meant to me I never expected this much attention. Thank you all so much and continue to stay strong!
skittle63099ify i wish u the best of luck in the Future!! Stay strong homie! !
Playstation Gaming Holy shit you're actually the worst
Playstation Gaming people like you genuinely need help
skittle63099ify u stay strong and be ur self he will always be by your side so just remember
Playstation Gaming 😡😡😡😡 I don't normally get angry but what you just said is the most cruel thing possible. Who the hell do you think you are?! Don't even try to argue. She lost her dad! And you make a joke of it. And wish terror among her family. YOU BELONG IN AN INSTITUTION. Somebody help me out here!!!
When I was in highschool my Mother was a huge Fray fan and got me hip instantly. We used to listen to this one in particular a lot. She had a habit of helping people, and it often took a lot out of her. I think this song sort helped her feel her way through the 'muck' so to speak. She had a lot of her own issues and I think helping others took the spotlight off of that. She knew how to save others, but couldn't seem to save herself. She drank a lot unfortuantely. As time went on, that grew into substance abuse, and eventually addiction. She still played this song a lot though, trying to remain positive.
Last year in April, the 5th, she lost that fight.
Things are different now. This song is different now. I still love it, but I find it very hard to listen to at times. I still have the memories, pictures, old voicemails I refuse to delete, but not her.
I keep going because I feel that I have to, for her. Some days are easy, some days are really, really, hard. I have lots of questions, lots of things to say that I will never get to. In time things will settle, life will return to normal, or whatever the new normal will be.
Now, this song has found me again, at a time where it seems I have to save my own life.
This ones for you Mom, and for me, and for anyone else struggling, for those worried about loved ones, whoever needs it.
Please keep going.
You will find your peace. I promise ❤
Please keep in mind, it doesn't mean that she hasn't loved you. For some people an existence is too heavy burden to bear. Remember her for who she was for you.
That was beautiful. I ask everyone to have faith in yourself nd what you can do. Truth be told you can do anything you put your mind to, that strength was always there it just has yet to be found.
Prayer up to you big dawg fr♥️
It’s scary how fast time flies. You just blink twice and the song you love is almost two decades old.
So true. Time goes by so fast
we don’t even realize it
2005! Nostalgia, memories when life was easier simpler times
So True
true
So real bro. I saw these guys live 8 years ago in Denver. I love this band so much
Let's be honest, this song has probably saved someone from depression driven suicide, so in a way this song is by far one way to save a life
This is honestly helping me make that choice. I'm all alone. I lost my siblings to a crazy guy. My kids have their own kids, I'm done
@IDONTLIKEMONDAYS-w2h Don't take the choice man. There's still a lot left you can do in life
@HerwakNic thank you but it's not all together true. I'm trying to hang on but my will is fading fast 💙
@IDONTLIKEMONDAYS-w2h You know what, lemme ask you something...
You ever been to Mexico? Its my home country and its a beautiful place to visit and enjoy, so I want you to go there before you die. You won't regret it, really
@HerwakNic 💙💙💙
I remember when my close friend killed himself. It was the toughest time in my life. He was only 12 at the time and his dad really abused him, and some days he would go without food. I remember getting told about it and feeling devastated, but I felt bad about myself, I couldn’t stop thinking about what I could have done to help him, and it has for the last few years. I’m currently 14 and there is not a day that doesn’t go by that I don’t think about him. I’ll always remember his smile, and the time we got caught drinking beers in my garage. I loved you Tom like brother.
I remember reading his note that he left out on the table before he left. All it said was “it’s not your fault. I just wasn’t meant to be here. Just don’t get beat up over me. You’re all better off without me.” Reading that cracked my heart. I wanted to tell him how much he meant to me, and how he was the brightest thing in my life. This was always his favourite song and he always listened to it in the morning on the way to school. Tom, I just want to say that wherever you are, I hope you fit in there, and get the love you truly deserved.
Wow, that hit deep.
May your friend rest peacefully
Reading this comment, reminded me of most of friends experiencing this on their own and couldn't tell anyone about it, because they were trapped and had no where to escape the worst. I offered many suggestions to them and they had an idea of trying to hold themselves out and need to find a way out as quick as possible. I wish, I could help that person with his father also abusing them, because of not being better than other people in his class and must get the highest grades in the school. It hurts to not do anything for this person, so all I can do is keep in contact and pray that they'll be ok. It's so saddening to hear such stories on young people having to experience such a traumatic parts of their life, which having to mentally and physically hurt themselves to the core of no return. Just remember that your friend will always be in your heart and you couldn't read his thoughts, even if you wanted too, but stay strong for him, no matter.
Aww I’m so sorry
I’m genuinely crying. Going through that must’ve been tough. I can only imagine the pain u have gone through
almost 10 years ago, when i was still a teenager in highschool, being bullied by classmates was part of a usual day so i would make myself small and silent. All of this made a depressive teenager and it was getting darker as it went. I was losing interest in going to school. One day out of no where two people came and sat next to me (where i would always go during breaks) they sat next to me and lightly tried to engage a conversation, not wanting to engage i would continue reading. so they sat next to me and continued talking together. everyday they came and sat at the same spot, next to me, and they would talk together. After some time i slowly started talking to them, and in no time i had made new friends and my days were starting to become brighter. By doing this simple action they might have actually saved a life! one of the two became a very good friend. I am glad she was there for me, and to this day she does not know how her actions affected me in a positive way.
Great to read 😀💛
That hit me, I was bullied alot and broke down alot at home, I'm 22 now but awhile ago I overdosed because of how heavy the weight of the world got, but my mum was there for me and still is, if it wasn't for her ringing an ambulance wouldn't be here, something inside of me wanted to just sit there and let it happen but there was no way I could leave my family with that pain, and i may not know you but it'd great you're still here on this earth, keep your chin up
Wow bro.
I'm really shocked.
U are so strong my man
Proud of you
god bless you
awww, God bless u
my wife died 2 months ago, after a hard year with endless hospital visits, chemo therapys, operations, everything. she was only 30 years old. I love her so much and miss her every day. still dont know how to handle it, when the woman you love more than anything else die in your arms.
everyone please stay safe and healthy.
I’m sorry to hear that
I'm so sorry sweet pea...
"Runes of comfort for the bereaved"
by Ralph Blum
"I am the life and the light and the way-
The Earth is my garden.
Each of the souls I plant as seeds germinate and flower in its own season, and in each I am fulfilled.
There is no cause for grief when a bloom fades but only rejoicing for the beauty it held and praise that my will is done and my plan served.
I am one with all creatures and none is ever lost, only restored unto me having never left my side at all.
For what is it mortal cannot be separated from its source.
I am with you all,
And each of you is a channel for my light.
Feel My Love enfold you now and forever more."
Thank you guys, im really grateful for your words 🙏

Stay strong, man
This song means a lot of things for me. And probably for everyone else. For years, I've struggled with my mental health, and as a result, I've lost a lot of friends. On the other hand, it drove me to multiple suicide attempts. The man who is now my best friend saved my life. He lost his father to suicide before he was born and knew the pain. He pointed out to me how much hurt it would produce if I ended up following through with my plans. Thank you, Axden. Mum, I'm sorry I ever thought it was a good idea. Dad, I love you to bits. I'm sorry for how I treated you. Archie. I dont tell you how much I love you as often as I should. But as your older brother, know I do love you to bits. To all the people I mistreated in moments of anger, bitterness, and misery. I'm sorry. I hope one day you can forgive me.
And to the Fray. Thank you for making this song. God bless you all.
You’re a good person, you know that right? I resonated with your story a bit because I pushed away my friends because of my mental health. I also said some harsh things in my lowest moments to the people who I loved the most. I don’t know exactly what your situation was so I won’t compare but I’m glad you shared your story . Thank you ❤
Lost one of my best friends to suicide 7 years ago. This song came out when we were in high school, and it reminds me of the good times we spent together. I unintentionally come back here once a year to reminisce, usually after midnight, when everything is quiet. Today is one of these days.
Luis, wherever you are, I miss you man. I know life was a burden to you, but you are still alive in our thoughts. RIP
big hug my friend.
sorry bro
Sending hugs
Thank you for posting this. I just lost a best friend from high school from suicide. He served in the air force. The last video I have with him we are singing this song. I came here to find some piece of him.
Seth, where ever you are. I’m sorry I failed you, I will love and miss you forever my friend.
sending you a hug. i’m so sorry
My grandma died recently. She was the only family left in my life. My father and mother died when I was a baby. Mother from cancer and father from a car accident. Grandma raised me and helped me go through the struggles of not having parents. Her dying left me feeling so empty. This song always brings me to tears. :'(
miksuaka ;-; I'm sorry for your loss
miksuaka your friends will help you through this :'(
Feel better soon man
Thanks so much for the well wishes :) I'm getting better slowly but surely.

This is empathy 101. If a depressed person is suicidal it is never because he/she wants to die. Its just that living is to hard in his/her perspective. The art in saving someone is in showing them alternatives while starting from their perspective.
This comment is ridiculously underrated. Please, take my heartfelt thumbs up!
its true, i don't wanna die but i felt living is hard
Well said. At my age what I've been through may be trivia to another not including the part with my Daughter.
Life seems to be Daunting when your not able to sort out your problems. On the other hand it's only Daunting if you care so as you may see these two things are very confusing and important.
Are you speaking from experience?
Boy are you wrong!
December 2024 anyone??
Yep
Every year ❤
absolutely
I’ll be coming back until I die
huh
The more you grow up the more you understand the lyrics of sad songs.
I agree
Aggred
Facts
It makes you let the little annoying things your family and friends do go. because life is so short shitty and precious lol
most definitely, How to save a life came out when I was 16 and I still enjoy the song a lot.
Every year i came back And every year this song hits harder.
Same here man. Hope you're doing well x
Its acc crazy
Be well my love x
Stay up my guyz we got this 💯

I'm not sure whats worse...the fact that the world feels empty without you....or the fact that I know I will never accept that you're no longer in this world.
I’m right there with you! God bless and stay strong

Keep breathing my friend, you are needed, ❤
😢
I can relate so honestly and emotionally to this statement ❤
Leaving this comment so I can come back to it October 2026.
I'm literally inches from death. Lost everything I ever worked for or called mine. I'm a severe drug addict right now; up to my eyeballs in debt. Something inside me died a few years ago and my life has been a downward spiral ever since.
But I need to change. There has to be a way. My life is ruined beyond repair but I need to atleast salvage something. Its the more noble way to go out. Hopefully life goes on, and gets better, and i see you here in 2 years.
Hey bro you got this, life brings many battles and hardships but you should never give up. You have so much meaning. You just need to discover your own meaning in life, it may take time and be hard but I promise you the battles will all be worth it in the end.
You are loved, you are heard, you are understood, and you are NOT alone. You are so brave to be willing to stop. It takes extreme bravery and courage to stop a drug addiction, and I already tell you have that extreme courage.
You will get through this ❤️🩹
You are loved. Hang in there.
❤❤

@@dizzee6089 Yo, it aint that easy... People are different and it's hard for some people to even say anything at times... that comment is really insensitive regardless joking or not. Even with the new gen being "soft" this isn't a topic to joke about. Sorry if I triggered anything, didn't mean too. Just explaining
@@100PercentBudder I was initially trying to troll but... that really opened my eye tbh. I see the error or my ways and I'll delete the comment. Sorry
@@dizzee6089 That's really big of you. I don't speak for everyone in the comment section, but I did feel people would have gotten hurt reading that. Thank you for deleting that comment! Most people would have just kept it to be "funny". I'm glad that you understand.
I was with my dad holding his hand when he took his last breath, then 4 years later I was with my mom holding her hand as she took her last breath. I had told her I wouldn't let her hand go until dad reached down to grab it. "Mom, when you're ready to reach for his hand I will be ready to let go of yours". I thank God for allowing me to live that experience.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Just know your parents are together and you did what any amazing child would do for their parents.
It truly is a blessing to be with someone you love until they take their last breath.
My dad went to sleep.. and never wake up... "and I would have stayed up with you all night"
I miss you always daddy.. I love you..
I wish you the best, R.I.P

If you’re reading this: Things get better. You don’t need to believe me, but at least stick around long enough to see a change. Because there will be one. No matter how long you spend crying, you’ll be okay in the end. I love you. I need you. I want you here. Don’t give up.
It's amazing that music can move people to say stuff like this
It's sounds cheesy, but i have no doubt you meant every word, and that it was exactly what someone needed
Every now and then music gives us hope and courage to win our loneliness and our daily struggles . just keep hanging on we can all win our struggles eventually
Just keep looking on the brighter side of life even you are really bleeding inside
That's the only reason I'm here
Damn I kinda don’t care
LYRICS:
Step one, you say we need to talk
He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left, and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
'Cause after all, you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you
And where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life

You appreciate this kindof music differently once you've grown up, and lived life.
It's the people & the music for me. I love how they portray happiness, sadness, smiles, tears, some real pain & everything in between. It touches my heart & I realize we're all human animals. It lets me know we're all in this together.

you're right, but it can be so hard to just live life, and have fun, when everything you do is sorrounded by thoughts of unfullfilled love... and you're just lonely.
And yeah, i tried to go out alone and have fun, but it just doesn't work for me, it's not possible. Yeah, sure, i can be alone, and to things on my own, but i just need friends in my life.
+OriginalLappen idk how old your really are but for every person there is a friend the hard part is finding your type of friends but now a days it shouldn't be that hard just be an open type person or be willing of trying new things but hope u do find some good friends I'm sure u will 😃

What is stopping you?
Nixk490 nobody wants to be friends with me :D that's the sad truth, i already tried so much
I lost my brother to suicide on December 31st, I found him with my mom. It was so shocking I saw him that morning but I didn't even say hi and stayed on my laptop. He had schizophrenia and got new meds so I thought maybe give him time to rest. i don't know. He was 26 turning 27. If I could give half of my life to bring him back I would. All my friends didn't really know how to comfort me so I got mad and now I have no friends anymore. I don't do anything and sometimes I wonder if I should even exist. I have faith things will change but what's the point? But I know how much pain and suffering and heartbreak my mom got when he died because he cared for her so much they were best friends. I try my best to go out and be ok but I can't afford a therapist or to even do things by myself so I just end up watching tv wasting my life and crying.
So sorry bro... Know that your brother is in a better place and that you and your mom are strong. Things WILL get better. Letting everything out is ok❤️
hafsa ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think going to a therapist is insured by your health insurance, you need that shit bro bc remember it was never your brothers intention to have such an affect on your life. Stay strong and life will be waiting for you til you can stand on your own feet again❤️
try to talk to your friends again they will understand it's hard i battle with suicidal thoughts everyday too stay strong man and talk to your mom together you can do it i'm cheering you on

My dear friend died in a bike crash many years ago. Half of his face and body were badly crushed, and I’ve forgotten how they looked. But I still vividly remember how broken I felt that day. I cried while holding him in the morgue, remembering that only a week before, I had joined his family for dinner.
At that dinner, I could feel the joy radiating from his little family of three. I've always admired his grateful family and did everything I could to protect them. He was a good father and husband, someone I looked up to. On the day of the accident, some erratic drivers caused my friend to make a dangerous maneuver, just when he was exhausted from all his hard work and duties. To this day, I still regret I couldn't help him more
It’s not your fault I hope god bless you remember that I’m here if you need to talk
7 years Christian. 7 years since you took your life. 7 years since I've seen you. I would have stayed up with you all night if I knew the signs that were in front of my face. I miss you so much and I will see you when He let's me. High school wasn't the same without you and I will never forget you.
I love and miss you so much Christian

It's been eight long years since I lost a dear friend to suicide. Friends from high school, we met up again when he started coming into my work at least once a week. When I was going through a really hard time, where I wasn't honest with the depression I was going through, my weekly conversations kept me going just as much as seeing my children's faces. I was working up the courage to tell him how much those moments meant to me and what HE meant to me. My friends knew I was into him, but I didn't think he could ever feel that same way about me. I was so down on myself, I didn't think anyone could ever want me. I never got the chance to tell him...he was battling his own demons. After going through a bad breakup, he was a light in the dark. Even though I've moved on, been with the man of my dreams for almost seven years and married for three and a half, the "what ifs" go through my head.
Mike...I miss you every, single day. I hope I was just a little of your light in the dark as you were mine.
My condolences man here's a hug 🤗 -freddy fazbear
I cried reading this, especially at the end. I'm so sorry for your loss, I'm sure you meant so much to him, Meg. I'm wishing you the best in life and I'm so happy Mike could be there for you in those times

This song is about the lead singer's experience with a friend who was struggling with substance abuse and the lead singer's feelings of helplessness in trying to help his friend. The song addresses themes of regret, empathy, and the desire to reach out and help someone in need. It became popular for its emotional lyrics and powerful message about the importance of reaching out to those who are struggling.
Oh my God that is heart wrenching
Are you ChatGPT?
@@sihyeonkim6035most likely
I am pretty sure it's about suicide
Found this: “How to Save a Life” deals with the heavy themes of loss, regret, and the inability to intervene in a life spiraling out of control. Lead singer, Isaac Slade drew inspiration from his experiences as a mentor for a camp for troubled teens, where he met a young man with whom he failed to connect.
This song makes me realize how hurtful this world is. I wish I could help everyone.
Hurtful yes, but how do you give anyone hope that things get better. Because it’s not a fact that things get better. For some people, it never gets better. At that point, the only hope you can give them is that this life isn’t all there is. At some point, the suffering does end, and then peace begins forever. That’s the symbolic message of Christ. The end of his life was suffering, but at last he could rest in Heaven. Hope can’t be given by small reassurances because often the suffering is too great. There wasn’t hope for Jesus on the cross, not in that moment, but there was hope after. So you want my advice, help people whenever practically possible, but when help isn’t possible, give them Christ.
@@godisgood201 Not to rain on the parade, but people will be eternally remorseful if they think they will just go to heaven when they die. Even though eternal life is a free gift, they need to understand the gospel of salvation found in the Bible and receive that free gift of eternal life by trusting completely in Christ and His finished work on the cross for them for salvation from eternal damnation. Once they truly do, then they are born anew, and then they know exactly where they're going when they die. Not because of any works of righteousness which they have done, and not because of any sins which they didn't do... or will ever do... but because of God's mercy to us in Christ, and the redemption that we have through His innocent blood, which He shed on the cross for the remission of our sins.

Yesterday, I witnessed a suicide attempt. I was on a foot bridge and suddenly a girl went up to the edge of the railing. I panicked. I did not know what to do. My initial reaction is to call for someone to help. Another passer by was able to pull her away, and she cried so hard. All I can do is console the girl, and assist her to a nearby clinic. I wish I was stronger. I’m ashamed of my reaction at that moment.
I hope she’s alive. I hope she’s okay.

My brother lost his battle with depression in July 2020. We were so close, we were 2 and a half years apart, but my dad says we were like twins. Only he was much better than me. He was the most honorable, kind hearted person I have ever known. Never one to hold a grudge or say a bad word about anyone. I can't help but feel I failed him. I'm still not able to grasp my new reality and my life feels like it's at a stand still and I'm not sure how to get it going again.
I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. You didn’t fail your brother, please know that despite what he was going through you were a positive light in his life and made his time here special. His memory will live on through you and time will heal. Wishing you the best❤️
Listen bro it most be hard for you but you didn't fail him okay your gonna get through this aight.
Please dont forget what he taught you . Keep living for him. Take care 😊
You have a Brother in Christ here with me. ♥️
hey, english is not my first language so i’ll try to make this clear.
please know that it’s not your fault. as a person struggling with depression i know that it’s a tough battle and that the last thing your brother wanted was for you to blame yourself. it’s not your fault at all. depression takes everything away from you and every day you’re alive is a win. i’m proud of your brother and i’m proud of you. please know that it’s not your fault at all and i’m really proud of you. may he fly high💕🕊

"Runes of comfort for the bereaved"
by Ralph Blum
"I am the life and the light and the way-
The Earth is my garden.
Each of the souls I plant as seeds germinate and flower in its own season, and in each I am fulfilled.
There is no cause for grief when a bloom fades but only rejoicing for the beauty it held and praise that my will is done and my plan served.
I am one with all creatures and none is ever lost, only restored unto me having never left my side at all.
For what is it mortal cannot be separated from its source.
I am with you all,
And each of you is a channel for my light.
Feel My Love enfold you now and forever more."

I feel you.
Nothing can prepare you for the goodbye you never thought you’d have to say. The loss that you never thought you’d have to face or the sadness that you never thought you’d have to feel.
But i was have chance to say goodbay to my mom it was the wonderful 15 minutes of my life
So true! I never thought when I said goodbye to my son 5 years ago, it would be forever. I will never get over the guilt. Never...
Sad Facts
I lost my mom 5 years from now, and I regret not being next to here when she died, and till this moment, I hate myself self for not apologizing for what I used to do and for not telling her how much she is important for me and that I love her the most
Having to say goodbye to my fiance' who was brain dead and having to make the decision to take him off life support is something I will never forget. I have had to learn to live with it but I will never forget.
I used to listen to this song when I was a kid yet I don't really knew the message. Not until today. I also lost a friend from depression, she commited suicide. I should've known how to save her, years after she passed I still see her in my dreams.
I am so sorry for your loss. You cannot blame yourself for this. There is no rule book on this. For some people, they just don’t realize how much they mean to others. She didn’t understand how much this was going to hurt you. You can keep her memory alive. Many times, the suicidal hide their plan from those they love, because she didn’t want you to change her mind. You need to talk to someone, who will uplift you and help you through this. I will pray that she Rest In Peace. I pray that God comfort you and guide you through the days of your life. We can chat if you ever need. God bless you.
@@9522ccnot funny but I hope you’ve matured
@@dxmian1803 not funny at all. I deleted my comment
@@yang8136 keeping u in my thoughts n prayers yo.
3 years ago my best friend was at her worst. I would stay up at night listening to this song crying feeling helpless. It’s taken time, but she’s doing so much better now. The other day we went on a little road trip and this song came up on the radio. We both started singing. I can’t describe the feeling, but it was something special :)
Whenever I'm feeling depressed I usually come here. This song is therapeutic to me. Well, 2 weeks before Christmas I lost my dad and now its got a different meaning. He died from complications due to his health and COVID. Here I am, trying to cope.
I’m so sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry I'm crying with you how can life be so painful yet so beautiful
You got this brother🙏🏽
I have lost my entire family to life illness and other things..but always had my wife of 18yrs..then she divorced me....I was almost homeless and had to give away my only friend ..my horse for I couldn't afford to feed him also. I prayed to God to please take me...and if he didn't I would know that he had a plan for me....fast forward I am making more money than I ever did and am living comfortably still am a single guy and get offers for dates and things...but I just want my wife back......though I know she will never be back....I guess we all carry some type of pain around.
Hey love, i’m sorry to hear what happened. You’re not alone. I lost my dad back in September 2021 from covid and complications. Keep your head up
Does anyone else tear up listening to this song even if you're not thinking of anyone in particular?
Yes
Yea i lost a cousin due to suicide 😥
I end up sobbing. Can’t help it.
Yeah, I almost lost my life to myself.
Yes, I thought it was just me. I do the same thing when I hear Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol.
Why does this song hit differently 10 years later
because burnley are gettin the drop you dosser
its just something called nostalgia
10 years letter i know this song, I remember.........
Minax this song is great in general
Because today has much worse music.
I lost a dear friend of mine who passed away on the 24th of April earlier this year.. She took her own life because things for her were far too harsh, and she didn't know who or what to turn to. She kept being faced with hardships one after another until it was overwhelming.. I listen to this song often, because I wish I'd known more about her situation at the time. I wish I had more resources at the time, and most of all I wish I could have been there for my dear friend so I could have at least tried to save her life.. It still tears me up to this day, and it always will.. My only hope now is that she's not suffering anymore.
Lost a friend in May. Heartbroken. Plans of getting older together. Just gone. Hate it i hope with all my being that we'll be together again. I feel for you. It hurts more than anything so far.
2005
I just want a reason to feel ok, everything has gone wrong this year, and for me many years before, I don’t want to live but I know others would miss me at least a bit, my extended family wouldn’t understand. every time I listen to this song I cry I just want to feel happy but I haven’t felt pure joy for so long, I just want everything to be ok, and I wish I could just end the pain and get it over and done with. I feel as if no one cares anymore so what’s the point now.
no point if you cant find one maybe its time to change the pen and make a new line be crative be new try to try to change to be samthing you wulde have been if you were happy from the bigging
Why would you end your life because you aren't happy now and haven't been happy for the shorter bit of your lifecycle? Go do what makes you happy go change those things you don't like go get stronger mentally go test yourself go follow YOUR DREAMS! You don't need anyone to make yourself happy.
Stay strong man. Experiences like these will always make you stronger. I believe in you. We all go eventually. I’m praying for you.
In the past year alone:
-figured out that my girlfriend I was together with for 5 years, only cared because she felt sorry for me
- figured out one of my best friends was an empath and every problem of mine was her's, I could never look at her eyes, because she would always look back and start to cry
- moved away from best friends that I new half my life
- I went to an after school teen center, on my last day, the manager had everybody throw a big departure party
-I was head of an after school Magic The Gathering club, on my last day, everybody gave me something that I will never give/throw away. A custom build deck box that said "May your deck be as good as your friendship".
- my childhood home was put on the market, because we were finding a new home.
-emailed one of my friends from Germany (the place I moved from) and told her that I missed her, and she replied that she didn't even notice that I moved.
No matter what, never give up hope. Things will always get better. I don;t expect anyone to read my problems, but if you do, I hope that you never have to endure the pain that I felt.
I feel you man
How can a song make you feel strong and weak at the same time?
The strength comes from caring. The weak comes from understanding that it takes something bigger than us.
WoaH that's actually true
Like this
@@patrickburke6065 I speak from experience.

The saddest part of life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory
Wow.. your comment really touched me
This hit hard ❤️
Bro this comment is so powerful !!!
Deep..
🥺🌹✨️
Guess that's why they call it a window pain / pane
I hope i'll survive. I hope i can find strength. I hope to never be the story being told by someone, about how they could have saved me but couldnt.
But it's hard to continue living like this. At the very least, this song makes me feel like my own life can have some sort of worth.
My best friend did that last year brother at just 14 and from a family/friend standpoint all it has brought his family and friends was the same pain he felt it will not be fixed by you leaving this earth no matter what the reason is times will get better you will be happy I promise you that I expect a response from you everyday until you are freed from this depression I belive in you my friend
My sons godmother k*lled herself 6 years ago in December 18th. Listen, what you’re thinking about doing behind will be total destruction for everyone who loves you & YES people love you. I’ve suffered from addiction & depression all my life but it does get better, you probably don’t want to hear that but I couldn’t save Nikki maybe I can help you. Please stay. We don’t know what happens after death what if it’s worse?? You’re here for a reason,, stay and find that reason
My father passed away two months ago, and today is the first time I cried. Something about this song just hit me
I'm sorry for your loss 😢 My dad passed in 2009 when I was 13 and it still hurts so bad...
2004
Stay strong buddy, all I can say is that this too shall pass. Make sure you live a life that makes your pops Proud. Love ya
2008 the year I was born my dad died in jail
Where did I go wrong? I lost my dad
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life.
That's hat hit you.... I feel so close to you.... Pls be brave .....
I lost my friend to suicide a couple of days ago. I immediately wanted to hear this beautiful song. I wish I could be there for her, I wish I really did. I'm so sad I'm not gonna be able to touch or see her anymore. I will miss her a lot.
Im so sorry... I wish you the best despite the circumstances, just remember to cope healthy.
you'll get through it man it's hard but people are here for you
My feelings, you must be going through a bad time, but there are people who will help you, you are strong.
I know how you feel
Im so sorry that fate has led you down this path, depression is the most horrible disease. Stay strong, I love you. Take care of yourself.
My cousin died last december 5 because of depression and stressed. He just cant handle the pain of being left alone inspite of having a big family but no one reaches out for him. He was so hopeless and i was wondering what could we have done to save him but everything is done and gone. Please if you are reading this and experienced this kind of feeling talk to someone reach someone that you can talk to and tell all your worries and fears.
This song reminds me of my best friend James who killed himself
I wish I could have realized it sooner
R.i.p
James 1999-2017😢
Carlos Luna Ramos I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost a friend of mine to suicide in April and I miss him so much.
I played this song at my husband's funeral, he also committed suicide 1988-2019
FollowDbutterfly Christian I am sorry God loves you ❤️
I'm crying❤im so sorry for your loss
Rest in Poop
one of the few songs i consistently cry to, really beautiful and looking through the comments i feel for all of you who have lost someone
"the second you start blaming yourself for people's deaths, there's no coming back"
That is the episode I came from 🥺
Yess we have some scrubs fans
God Bless! Stay strong, stay safe and take care of yourselves! Wishing everyone the best!
I'm still there ... and i don't think I can save myself anymore ...
Yeah ...your right
Thinking a little more of Liam listening this ❤
Every time I hear this song, I cry for all of those that are in pain, feel hopeless, and think that the pain is never going to end. The pain can end... (in a positive way..)
Back at the end of 2017, my best friend attempted. She was struggling for at least 6 months. She felt like she was losing her mind, her car was breaking down, she was getting into financial trouble, and nothing was professionally working out for her. Everything was just piling up on her. On top of that, she told her sister that she wanted to end it and her sister called the cops on her, and the landlord found out (she had been staying at a guesthouse).
I stayed the weekend with her to help her feel better, and tried to help her get through it, but it didn't work. She felt guilty that I unconditionally loved her when she felt that she didn't deserve that love. I did stay up with her all night the last night.. I made the mistake of going to work on Monday and nearly lost her. I figured.. it doesn't matter what I say or do.. She is going to do what she wants, but at least she knows I care..
I texted her throughout the day and she said that she felt better. But then at 3 I didn't hear from her. I figured she was taking a nap. I got very worried about her and left work early. I got to her place and she was in the bathtub, having taking a number of pills. But she was still moving! I thought, "Better angry than dead" and called 911. I got her to a hospital and saved her life!! I stayed the next day to take care of dog and just take the day off.
They took her in the middle of the night to mental facility and charged her for the ambulance ride (don't get me started on that!).
When she got back, I stayed with her the next two weeks (luckily I already had vacation days planned for the holidays) and helped her get her life back on track. She was definitely angry with me for at least 6 months. Fast forward to today, while it has been a struggle and there have been some moments, for the most part she has been able to cope with all the pressures and she says she is motivated to do better!! And she never wants to go down that road again. :-)
She recently changed her diet to an all plant-based foods and she has gotten her mind back! She now no longer has those thoughts! I am so happy she is still here. :-)
To all those who feel hopeless... things can get better! Reach out and never let go...
Wow gr8 story😭😫
Youre good man !
Bad start but beautiful ending
Thank god you were there- I see people everyday going thru pain and looking..looking..looking for just a single soul who sees them.
You truly are a blessing most people dont have 💚😭
I’m sorry I didn’t meet up with you that day Ryan. It’ll always be one of my biggest regrets. Even just getting to speak to you one more time before you left would have been enough for me. We grew apart when we went to college, but I’ll never forget you. I nearly joined you a few times already but I now know I need to carry on.
Sorry to anyone randomly reading this. I’m not good at emotions or therapy
its ok man if this is the way you go through this stuff then do it there is no one stopping you
Love from Atlanta
Sending u a hug
Love from Canada my friend
thank you so much for that comment. Im often thinking about suicide (not crying for your help, just a fact) and its getting more serious. Somehow the youtube algorithm often gets me to this vid when its too bad.
Reading your comment makes me think of my best friend. Like if she had written it one year in the future adressing me. I feel like i am Ryan and you are my best friend.
Thus there are two main aspects your comment strongly reminds me of. First of all I dont want to hurt her. And I dont want her to contemplate suicide nor get any kind of depressions because i love her way more than myself and i know how bad it is. Especially not because of anything i did. I dont want to make her live with such a burden.
Second thought is that she probably loves me even more than she told me. People are weird when it comes to that. They wouldnt tell you too much about their feelings but when youre gone they wish they would have. That goes for each and everyone of us and its a shame because it causes even more pain on so many different levels.
Ive often thought about both of these aspects before and Im convinced that this is why i didnt do it yet. However your comment went directly into my heart and made me cry within split seconds, thinking of her writing such a comment after i killed myself.
Do whatever helps you to cope with it and whatever helps you to carry on. Everybody has to find his/her own way to cope with the sadness. There are many cheesy phrases like that Ryan would have wanted you to live on. Or that Ryan will live on in your memory. But remember theyre true.
Anyways thank you very much again for your letter. I feel like i will come back to it quite often when i feel too down again. Maybe you just saved some lifes!
Going through these comments, sobbing uncontrollably, I see how much hurt we are as humans, it gets so damn hard at times! I wish happiness and peace was not that hard to find!
Stay strong guys, love y'all! ❤️
Omg me too ❤️
Sending all the love I have out to the world for anyone who needs it 💞
Yeah not much gets me to cry but this song is a immediate reminder if my friend mike who took his life
@@JC-bq3vd I dont know what he may be going through i still to this day dont know the demons mike faced but he lost due to him losing contact with me and his other friends. Dont let that happen. Keep in contact and dont give up on him.
..... Years ago I failed mike . be the reason he holds on!
@@dakelong6047 I'm so sorry to hear about Mike. In my little seaside town in the North East of England there's been an epidemic of young, seemingly happy young lads who have taken their own lives. Two brothers did it within weeks of each other then their other brother tried it too but he lived. There's been too many to count and they all used the same method, hanging. It seems to be the go to method for men. I've been completely blind sided by some of them, people I've known my whole life since starting first school. I think it's because men don't feel like they can talk about mental health issues, they feel ashamed when they shouldn't. Things are getting better in that respect but it took a load of deaths for things to change. That's just suicides, the amount of overdose deaths is even more staggering, for a small town I bet there's easily been over 500 since the early 90s. My cousin was one of the first in 93, 18 young people died in one year when heroin became a big problem here. Then the numbers just keep increasing as more people die each year. I'm not exaggerating when I say its pretty much every other week I'll hear of another death of someone I know. You didn't fail Mike, well I doubt you did, you might feel like you did but if you could have saved him you would have by the sounds of it so don't beat yourself up about it ♥️
@Rich Jebs, Peace be with you my friend.
I wish I could’ve told him how much I love him, despite blood he was my brother through and through. God how I miss him, I should’ve told him how much he meant to everyone because now I can’t. I regret it constantly, I pray to god he knows, deserved literally nothing but the best.

I wish me and my dad talked more in my teenage years instead of arguing he died aged 50 and I miss him so much.
My dad didnt even know who his real father is until he was 18, his father just died at ge 60, my dad hadnt talked to him in 7 years, and that time was the 2nd time he met him
I cried.. I'm sorry to know that
I can feel you man. . .
I’m sorry 🙏🏻
Same with mine I feel the pain bro
My grandpa passed away on Monday. I was going to see him on Tuesday. I didn't realize he had gotten cancer and it rapidly spread. I regret not seeing him earlier, because I didn't get to say goodbye, and now that chance will never come back. I'm really sorry grandpa, I'm really missing you right now... Rest In Peace.
