For the past few months I’ve been working on a video for my track ‘Please Don’t Go’ that I am so honored to share with you all. It’s hard to put into words what this video means to me and how grateful I am to the people who took part - it wasn’t easy. A few years ago, I lost my nephew very suddenly and it was something that changed my life forever. I can still remember how it felt and I know there are so many other people who have gone through the same thing in one form or another.

I feel like this song has resonated the most with me since writing it. I remember the exact place it came from and it never loses its meaning no matter how many times I play it. Since then, I’ve wanted to create a music video that reflects this and which could potentially help people who are struggling with loss while also giving people a chance to tell their story.

To John, Dylan, Donna, Cian, Moira, Gary, Teresa, Kate and Tony, I will never be able to thank you enough for your honesty and willingness to share what you did, it takes tremendous courage and I have so much respect for you all. To Kate O' Hara, Miki Barlok, Gary Keane and Kevin Herlihy - all the time and effort you've put into this has brought it to life.

Also a very special thank you to Sarah Power for her incredible piano and production work and Gary Keane for his vocal and production work. This track would be nothing without ye and making the EP was best experience of my life. You guys are magic.

I hope that whoever watches this gets something from it.
All my love, Steph x

I sit here crying alone in our room. It's been 2 years and 6 months since my wife passed away to cancer. It seems to be the routine now. Our children were 3 and 6 when she passed. They are now 6 and soon to be 9. They are tucked in bed asleep and I come to our room and sit in the dark and cry. I miss you so much. We miss you.

To everyone grieving here, who has lost someone they love… I love you. I hope you find some sort of healing. Each one of you are in my prayers.

We lost my twin sister when we were only twenty....a week before my only child, my son, was born. Twenty-five years later, on a beautiful Indian summer afternoon, we lost my son. Thank God I have faith enough to believe they are with me, watching over me. But I know God let them come back to me for a minute, I would never let them go.

My daughter Arielle took her life in 2007. She was only 15. I came home from work and found her. I miss her so. She was my heart and soul. I ask God every day to take me home so I can be with her. But I'm still here. I look forward to the day I see her and hug her again. Thank you for this beautiful song. It touched me. 🫶🤗🙏

I just saw you on AGT, and I love this song. I lost my first son in 1985 he was only 16 hours old, my second son in 2014 he was 28 yrs. old, lost my husband of 32 wonderful years in 2015 he was only 50 years old then I lost my beautiful daughter at age 32 yrs. old in 2020 it has been very hard for mebut i keep my faith in God and I know that my family would not want me to give up on life so I wake up every morning with a smile on my face and I try to make it a point to put a smile on someone else's face. I also make it a point to never question God's reasonings behind his decision. I will find out when he calls me home. Keep your head up and continue singing your nephew would be very proud of you. THANK YOU...

I lost my husband on September 4th, 2023. Every word of this song speaks to me and how I feel.

I’m sitting here with my wife in the hospital she has colon cancer pray for us!!

This is exactly word for word what happened when I lost my wife in 2021 after battling 14 of the 25 years we were together with her metastatic breast cancer. She died on October the 10th 2021 and her name is Bobbe. Everything she sung is what I did including screaming into the pillow the day after I got her to the funeral home that took care of the last visit that I had with her. There's a beautiful song and some beautiful couple of people that really know how to touch you we need more people like that. God bless you both and I'm sorry for your loss but we're all going to lose someone Sunday until we go to see him in heaven and if people don't change there's not going to be too many people up there in heaven. God bless you all?

Adding this to a playlist I titled "my Angels" to honor my 13 babies who were never born and always wanted. I bless G-d for giving me and entrusting me and honoring me with 3 healthy sons.

I could fix anything but not this. I tried very thing. she had a zest for life and put a smile on my face every day I new her. been three years and as painful as ever not to have her around to see her boys grow up to be men. love you and missed by everyone. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[aggieff]

I saw you perform this on AGT and lost my composure. I lost my daughter at 13yo in a freak accident. It’s been 17 years and it’s still fresh at times. This song perfectly describes my pain then and now. I relived that day listening to this. Beautifully written. ❤ sending love from Texas, USA

[GintareMellupe]
