    My mom finally made her passing in June after a long journey with Lewy Body Dementia. I played this song during the 12 days at her bedside while she was fading away from this dimension as I held up my promise to help her end her life. Thank you Tracy Chapman for your gift.

      Oh, that must have been so hard. I can't imagine. My condolences to you on the loss of your Mom. I'm so glad for both your sakes you could be there for her. What a beautiful way to spend your last days together, listening to this.

    This was always one of my favorite songs of all time, but it has taken on new meaning and purpose in my life with the passing of my partner of 20 years this past March after a brief but brutal battle with lymphoma. For anyone who has lost someone special in their lives, the promise--and hope--of seeing them once again in another place and time when it's our turn to transition can get you through some very dark and lonely times. This song cuts to the very core of that longing. It's transcendent.

    On February 9th 1990 watching Tracy sing this in concert live in Australia I bawled my eyes out to this song. It had always been a favourite of mine and my husband’s. That night was the first time I had done anything social since he had passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at age 28. My friend took me to the concert and it was amazing because I’m a huge Tracy Chapman fan but boy oh boy this beautiful song took on new meaning for me that night and to this day it still makes me cry. Thank you Tracy for your beautiful words that allow us to let go of our emotions now and then, you helped me navigate grief as a young widow with the raw and real song.

They were my best friends. i thankfully have my brothers, but I miss them and it hurts through the soul sometimes. Lost dad in 2020, and mom in 2021. I know they are together.
