There were plenty of fans who truly felt for Eilish and her loss, with many writing in the sweetest comments in a bid to make her feel better.
One even sent a beautiful poem:
"If it should be that I grow frail and weak And pain should keep me from my sleep, Then will you do what must be done For this - the last battle- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand, For on this day, more than the rest, Your love and friendship must stand the test. We have had so many happy years, You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go. Take me to where to my needs they'll tend, Only, stay with me until the end
And hold me firm and speak to me Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail, its last has waved, From pain and suffering I have been saved. Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close - we two - these years, Don't let your heart hold any tears."

Wrote Eilish, "This video makes me cryyyyy. it means so much to me and I hope it will mean just as much to you."
Fans echoed the sentiments, "I started crying within the first 23 seconds of the video. Also, I think you were made to help people feel okay with their emotions through your music. You help us feel like we aren’t alone in feeling the things that we feel."
