Always
By JJ Heller, David Heller, Ben Shive and Andy Gullahorn
You are the answer to prayers I prayed
And the hope in the childhood games I played
Pushing baby dolls in strollers
And dreaming of who you would be
You are the news I celebrated
That little blue line exclamation
Got me dancing in my bare feet
And I couldn’t help but sing
You will always be my baby
You will always have my love
I will always, always be your mother
Always
You are the reason I was holding on
Somehow I knew you were already gone
So many questions without answers
‘Cause only God knows why
Now I think I’ve cried a million tears
For all the laughter we will never hear
We lost you in the silence
Before you had a chance to cry
You will always be my baby
You will always have my love
I will always, always be your mother
Always
And I would give anything
To hold you in my arms
But while you’re away from me
I’ll hold you in my heart
You’re forever in my heart

Thank you for this honoring memorial. I lost my first baby at 12 weeks, and then four years later we lost our second baby at 7 weeks. This was 15 and 11 years ago, respectively. Theses loses are always with me. And I always remember them on what would have been their birthdays. I have 3 beautiful children, and I’m now 14 weeks pregnant. But, I had spotting and cramping the other day and am waiting to see if this little one is still with us. These little lives are so fragile and each life is a miracle, no matter how long that life is. Each life should be celebrated and remembered, and each mother is a mother even if she didn’t get to hold her child.
Thank you for writing this 💗 I have recently lost two little ones back to back, a month after the first.... And praise the Lord! He has blessed me with another right now! But it's so hard to rejoice without fear... But I'm learning to surrender those fears to God and embrace every moment He gives me with each child! 💗 He is good even in the hard, and I rejoice to know each baby that silently passes away from this world are with Him and in His arms. 💗
This is why I love you both so much. Thank you. I lost three babies nearly thirty years ago and you made this grandma cry some sweet tears tonight.❤️
I am still single, and I have never had a child, but I still almost cried. You have a gift
It made me weep not just for my losses, but for the women I know. Pregnancy loss is something we don’t talk about. What a lovely song.
Today 2 years ago we lost our second little one, but God is faithful and 2 years later that little angel has a 1year old little sister 💕 Can’t wait to meet you one day little one
You two are so precious!
Thank you for your tears for us. Both of yours. Dads grieve too. This is raw and tender. What a gift this Mother's Day. I heal a little more with gifts like this. We poured a lot of love into those 8 weeks. Acknowledgment is welcome. God bless you all.
Thankyou so much for writing this song, it has been the on repeat for the past 2 weeks since I was released from the hospital after I lost my first pregnancy at 13 weeks.
Bless you for this, JJ. I lost my sweet baby girl, Adelaide Opal, this year at 11 weeks gestation. Thank you for giving me a moment to grieve on my first Mother’s Day as a mother. And thank you for acknowledging me as a mother, on a day when most people in my life do not even know that I am one. I feel VERY honored by this song, so I hope you never feel like you are dishonoring us by writing about something that didn’t happen to you. Thank you again!
Such a beautiful song. As a mother who has had 23 losses it really spoke to me. Thanks for speaking what my heart felt but my mind could never find the words for.
3 here, 3 more gone. It hurts, but God is in the suffering as well as the joy. Thank you JJ!
Beautiful. Thank you for writing this for all of the moms who are living this for Mother’s Day💕
Thank you for writing this song! We have lost 10 children (1 had a twin that lived) and have 6 here on Earth. I am not a singer and my poems will never reach an audience, but your song perfectly captures how I feel. It’s hard to write about let alone sing the heartbroken words. It’s so sad how many mommas I know that have lost a child from miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, etc . I could go on and on as it includes all the women I know who lost children to health problems , car accidents, and even murder. We NEVER forget those we placed our love in before we ever met them whether they died before we could hold them or after we had to bury them. It IS such a fragile topic and the “elephant in the room” as people are afraid to mention them out of fear of hurting us more or because they dont want to be uncomfortable. We don’t want people to forget that we had another child/other children. Especially the mommas who had their children for a “long time “ and lost them due to a multitude of tragedies. We love and grieve our children our whole lives because having other children does not replace those who are no longer with us. We enjoy your beautiful music so much and I have it in at night while my youngest is sleeping in our bedroom. Thank you, again, for you both using your gifts to honor God and to help heal wounded hearts.
I just lost my angel 3 weeks ago today. I heard this song for the first time last week when you posted it and I would never have known you hadn't experienced this. You have a gift. Thank you for sharing God's grace with your music.
With tears. I thank you.
So honoring, love these honest tears.
We lost our Tobie 2 years ago. Thank you for this song of longing, grief, and healing. God is good. 💕
Thank you for using your gift to put words to this loss.
For someone that never experienced this, you sure captured it beautifully. Thank you!
Thank you for this song. I am a songwriter too, and I know I could not make it through singing it. 2 years ago we lost a little one. We were jist discussing her around the living room last week on her birthday... We all look forward to holding her one day and hearing her laugh. I love hearing the children talk about how she will always be their sister.....their loss was hard too.
Thank you for this. I have one beautiful little girl here on earth, and a little one waiting for me in Heaven. A song like this helps put to music and words the feelings in my heart.
I want so badly to play this for my wife. So hard. I recently discovered you and have already sent your songs to her. I am in the oilfield and away from my wife and girls. Your songs speak to the feelings I have towards my wife and two daughters. Thank you!
I just found this song 10 weeks after losing my sweet Aurora. Thank you so much for this song it is my peace and my comfort 🥺💕
Thank God and thank you 🎶🎶🎶
Absolutely beautiful & tear jerking. I lost 6 babies during my child bearing years from 1987 - 2000. Its still a bit painful today, but I ended up having 5 children of my own & adopting my oldest child. I pray that my children never have to experience such pain as this.
I love this song JJ! As a mother who has 4 children that I got in a different way it's beautifully written.
My daughter Martie will be 15 next month and my son Jack is 3. We lost two pregnancies between trying for our son Jack. I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks with our second and our third pregnancy at 5-7 weeks which was an ectopic where my baby developed in my right fallopian tube. It ruptured and I was bleeding internally. I lost my baby, my right fallopian tube and ovary and almost died. But, later we got pregnant and little man Jack, who is 3 now. Thank you for your music! I remember being sent home from the hospital with the third pregnancy, (the ectopic) they thought I was miscarrying again and sent me home. I played your music and talked to my baby I knew was still there. The next day we lost the baby. It was so hard but I made it threw. Thank you for sharing your songs. Happy Mother's Day girl!❤
Lost 2 babies here on earth...gained 2 in heaven. Still hurts. One would be 8 the other one would be 6. I would have never chosen that valley and as much as I would ask to be spared of that time frame in my life, I can humbly say to God "thank you for choosing for me." I would have chosen so differently and missed the closes walks with Him and the times that burnt a lot of junk in my life. My maker is good. I look forward to the day I will meet my two precious children. Thank you for honoring them with your song.
For those of us who have lost our little ones and couldn't sing this ourselves... Thank you Hellers.
I just miscarried last Sunday. I wouldn’t say that as a child I dreamed of becoming a mother, but as a minister’s wife, my husband and I prayed about it for the first five years of our marriage before “trying”. Due to ministry my husband has to travel frequently and it took us 9 months to conceive. When I started feeling a bit strange, I was eager to take a pregnancy test, and when I saw that little blue line, my heart rejoiced. The Lord seemed to have been putting all the pieces together for us. Among other things, we had just moved to a bigger house in the country with the perfect environment to raise children. We contained our joy for several weeks, anticipating the day we would tell our friends and family. I had a prenatal appointment scheduled for this coming Monday. We were going to wait until after it to share the news, but instead, the way we had to break the news to our loved ones was: “Please pray for us, Kelly is/was pregnant and we think we’re losing the baby.” A lot of our other (not-so-close) friends and acquaintances still know nothing of the trial we’ve just been through. It has been a struggle to even go to church, trying to conceal this grief that most of the congregation doesn’t even know about. Today I came across this song, and it really touched the emotions that I feel. I basically cried through the whole thing. It’s pretty spot on.
Ya'll are PRECIOUS souls. Thankyou❤
Means so much to my soul this song❤️🙏😢🙏❤️
Thank you for writing this song! I lossed my baby yesterday. I am trusting in God.
Love this. As someone who hasn't been able to have children. This still is amazing. I love how you put song to so much emotion. Thank you JJ.💖
Your song "what love really means" was a big part of me finding God. For reaching for more of him. It was the first step for me in that direction. It spoke to me more than Any song ever could. I felt it, I felt a piece of him that I had never before and I wanted more. I wanted to thank you guys for that, and thank God for placing you on this path with your music. Please never give up on doing what you do. Him using you has reached so many people, even if just one soul, is so much and more 💗.
Thank you. So much.
I am so grateful for you both and creating this song. I have four kids. I lost my fourth baby at 10 weeks almost a month ago and I lost my second baby at 6 weeks 3 years ago and it’s been so hard. This song has helped me so much. I have been struggling to put my pain into words, but singing (or attempting to sing) this song has helped me to get out the words that I struggle to find. Thank you so much.💛
Dear JJ,
i listened to this song last mother day, and shared it to honor my friends who lost their babies.
2 months later, it is the same song that comforts me when i lost mine.
Thank you for your songs ❤ heartbroken but getting strong as time will always heal our hearts.
Thank you for this song, and for crying with those who have had such deep losses. I found out at my anatomy ultrasound that our sweet boy had gone to be with the Lord, and delivered him last month. I will always miss my baby, the Lord is near to the broken-hearted. 🦋
This was absolutely beautiful yet so heartbreaking... thank you for a song I can send to anybody in such a tough time as this. These babies are all safe in the arms of Jesus, never having to feel sadness, pain, sickness, only the Love of a Mom and Dad, and the best love ever, sweet Jesus ❤️
Your songs are always beautiful and touching. I can only imagine how much this song will touch the mothers who deserve to hear it
Wonderful as always JJ! You and your husband are so wonderful!!
*tears* I felt this song as I recalled many dear friends who had miscarriages and was with them through the heartbreak & healing of it all. thank you!
Your songs are always comforting.May God use you more.
So deep. This is going to heal so many mother broken heart. Thank you
So beautiful…thank you for this song!
So beautiful.
I love your music. I am a new fan. We lost 6 babies trying to start our family. You had me in tears. 😭 such a great song for me to reflect on, with mother's day coming up. Thank you.
JJ this is beautiful. This month it will be seven years since my son was stillborn. What you wrote described so much of what I felt at that time. Your songs "Who You Are", "Oliviana" and "Your Hands" were some of my top songs following his loss. Songs like this, that speak to the experience of pregnancy loss are so needed. Thank you.
I also listened to, your hands, over and over when I lost my little one. For the longest time I would get up late at night after my children had gone to bed and just hit replay time and time again. Now every year on the day I lost Desi I play that song in remembrance.
Thank you for this song. this made me cry 😭😭😭 I lost my two babies and its really painful but knowing they are in heaven and someday will see each other there.
I lost a baby at 10 weeks. It was almost a year ago. I'm still struggling. But your song was really beautiful. Thank you for writing and singing it.
I’ve had 4 miscarriages. I have an 11 year old and a 3 year old. The gap is not just a gap, but that gap lives in my heart as a memory of my four babies I lost. 😞
Amazing. So awesome 😘😇
I APPRECIATE this. It's very sweet. I lost a baby one time. Knowing I'll see them in Heaven someday day is what got me through. 🙏🏻💙🙏🏽💜🙏🏿💛🙏🏼💚
hugs
What a beautiful song. Great notification.
This was absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much for thinking of us Mother's who have been through this. Putting words into a song....so beautifully. Our sweet Leif went to be with Jesus at 35 weeks pregnant. It will be 2 years this July. This is beautiful JJ (and Dave) Many many thanks.
Heartbreakingly beautiful. You have an incredible ability to put into words and music what so many people feel but can’t express. ❤️
The grief you express at the beginning is a gift. It brings a deeper validation for our losses. Thank you for this song 😭
I’ve never had a child or lost one but this is beautiful. I cried!
As a father, I look forward to the day I will get to meet my Lord Jesus and our unborn child. 😊
God bless you JJ Heller and Dave! Thank you for your ministry!
Beautiful song.
Thank you, you did a beautiful job of capturing the emotions and the imagery of losing a baby. "I will always be your mother"-- my favorite line.
Thank you for this, especially at Mother's day. The second you started I went to the rocking chair and rocked and cried through it all. I know my 2 little ones (I have 4 here) are in the arms of God, better off and wiser than Mommy now, but I can still miss them and can't wait to meet them someday.
This broke me and blessed me so much. Thank you
This is beautiful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for writing and sharing your song. I recently lost my baby, only 3 month in my tummy... 😢
I was a professional dancer before I became saved by the Lord and I’ve always expressed myself best in worship with movement and dance. I’ve been looking for a Christian song about miscarriages... And you put words into my heart and now I can worship and dance with this song to the Lord.
Thank you, because it heals my heart ❤️💔👶🏻
Sorry to hear about your loss. Thy Will by Hillary Scott is also beautiful and is about her miscarriage. Bless you.🥰
P Clare thank you so much for your respond and for letting me know about this song 🙏🏼
@@UnityDanceCenter No worries, I had 2 miscarriages 1 before each successful pregnancy and it was super hard, especially the second one miscarriage which I was a bit further along. God used it in amazing ways and God spoke to me greatly in that time. Praise you in the storm by casting crowns he really bought to mind in that time also. And it really helped.😘
So sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you, sister. The Lord will comfort you and heal you.
Well done...as always
😭😭😭😭😭😭 Que Deus console seu coração e de seu marido ❤️❤️🙏 letra linda! Orando por vocês. Deus abençoe
Wow just stumbled across this💛
So beautiful
I lost several babies during gestation so painful to talk about
Awwww don't cryyyy....y'all r the best.... :")
you are fantastic. xx
I lost my youngest son after birth two years ago 💔 Reading other comments from fellow loss moms gives me strength 💛 This road is lonely and full of anger, guilt and questions unanswered. I’m thankful for eternity, where my family will be reunited and whole 💗
Thank you for this beautiful song. And it’s great that there are also other heart-moms who still believe in God‘s love and guidance. It‘s still a gift to feel the heart connection to our childs in the other dimension
Thank you for not editing for perfection. Exactly the authenticity it feels when you lose a promise. You and your husband felt the proof you wrote this song in a pure Spirit.
Thank you. ❤️ thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have turned to your music during all of my darkness, and it has been the light I needed. This is one that I needed more than ever. ❤️ my little peanut appreciates it as well I’m sure. It’s hard to lose a child, and even harder not knowing what they would have been like. This helps heal my soul. So thank you.
This song healed me. I lost 2 pregnancies back in 2013 and 2014. Thank you for writing this 🙏🏼💓💓💓
Beautiful!!
Third time's a charm. ;) Beautifully done, thank you!
Thank you for putting music to the feelings of this grief. ♡♡
You have the most beautiful heart. OMG!
I will always be the mother of my daughter in heaven who came to me at 9 hours old through foster then adoption and died at 3 months old fron Sudden Infant death syndrome I will see her again
Truly beautiful and very touching. My oldest daughter got married this past October, and day before yesterday she called to tell me her husband kept telling her he thought she was pregnant (he’s a nurse). Before she could verify the pregnancy, she miscarried. We weren’t certain she could even get pregnant, so this news was bittersweet. The fact that she conceived is great news, but I pray the miscarriage isn’t an indication she won’t successfully carry future pregnancies. Thank you for this beautiful song.
Thank you
A friend of mine lost her baby at full term. On the baby's due date, July 3rd, there was no heart beat. She had to deliver her son on the July 4th knowing he was already gone. The umbilical cord was around his neck. I played her this song and she loved it. Thank you so much for that. Her and her husband now have a boy and a girl and are very happy.
The birds in your background, I got the same one tattooed when I lost my first. Blue and everything. Just going through my 6th loss, this song is beautiful.
You’re truly an inspiration ♥️🙏.
For you to write those lyrics and not have had the experience I know those came from God. This song is perfect. I love you Mason Alexander Farley....I cant wait to meet you one day in heaven. I’ll always be your Mother ❤️
I lost my first at 10 weeks only a month ago. The next day we found out she was a little girl. It was like my Spotify knew because I heard this song a few days later. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this song. Since she was my first I didn't think I could call myself a mother since I didn't have a baby to hold I didn't think I deserved the title.
I had a vanishing twin. For some reason I don’t feel the emotions of other women that lost a baby. I had a roller coaster of emotions-happy I was pregnant, sad when I miscarried, happy all over again when I realized it was a twin and I still had a baby! I have to watch stuff like this to try to wrap my mind around the emotions of women that lost their babies.
I'm a grandma who had to watch her daughter go thru one of the most difficult times in her life. When she had to say goodbye to sweet baby Roman, her first son. While he wasn't a miscarriage, he only lived 6 short months. She had to make the painful decision to pull him off life support and while holding him one last time had to watch his little bottom lip quivver as he gasped for his last breath. I cried thru your whole song. It still hurts so much. Especially to see her hurt. That was back in 2015. Pray for her please. Her name is Mandy. Since then, she's been limping along, shaking her fist at God. Convicting Him in the court of her own mind, going as far as pretending to be an atheist, when I know deep down in her heart of hearts she doesn't really believe that, but it's the only way she feels she could 'get back' at the One she felt could've kept Roman from dying. She can't afford to draw back & cut God off. She can't afford to create a ceiling. She can't afford to limit Who God is in the equation, and settle for the same results, inviting the same outcome in other areas of her life. Blaming God has crippled her ability to know Him. It's a way that seems right to her. But it's producing no life. It's like she's frozen. It's like that's the line she's drawn to back off from God, guaranteeing and actually inviting more loss. Pulling the plug on God, she's really lost. And she's lost enough. Let alone mis-define this experience, and unplug more thru wrong believing. So please pray for her. And thank you for this song. It pulled every heart string I had and created a flood of tears. God Bless you JJ and your precious husband 🙏
Beautiful, thank you.
Beautiful and thank you.
20 years ago...I had my first pregnancy...and 6 weeks later miscarried...a year later...my 2nd pregnancy and my 2nd miscarriage at 6 weeks again... 22 years of marriage later...no other pregnancies ..we did fertility treatments etc... but...God had other plans for me and my husband...1 year ago he brought a newborn little girl into our life through adoption...its been a wild ride this past year as I am about to be 48...but God knows what he is doing...
holding my son and remembering the one we lost 2yrs before we were blessed with him. I'm ugly crying over here.
That’s very brave of you to write and share. Having had four miscarriages myself, I think the words you expressed are beautifully put. I appreciate so much your music so much.
I love the struggle to pull it together! - so real, such a real take on our emotions. Thank you for another beautiful song!!
Your songs help me get through some bad days thank you so much this song is beautiful!
I absolutely love this song. Every time I hear this song, I think of a little girl who died because of a heart condition at 5 years old in 2021. I also have a heart condition, and unfortunately it would be dangerous for me to have a child
Best notification to end the night. As always, you’ve put these emotions into words and song so perfectly well, and you are definitely putting words to the human experience of so, so many. Thank you. The poem has me in tears, always. Thanks to both of you for letting your humanity shine through, as well. It’s easy to tell when people are genuine, and you both definitely are.
