Loveless met different losses in her life in this poignant ballad, and these are moving away from her best friend as a little girl and breaking up with her husband as an adult. And every time she did, her mother would comfort her, asking, “how can I help you to say goodbye?” Sadly, the song ended with her mother breathing one’s last breath.
The song earned various nominations, including from the Grammy Awards in the categories of Best Female Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song.
