Country star Granger Smith's kids saved him from 'rock bottom' after losing son: 'God's gift to me was them'

Country musician Granger Smith found a "ray of light" to survive through his kids after struggling with overwhelming grief following the loss of his son, River.

With the help of his son and daughter, Smith saw the "ray of light" he needed to continue fighting not only for his own life, but also for his family following their tragic loss. "It sounds kind of obvious when I said it that way, but man, when the walls are closing in, and you're in the darkness – any ray of light you can take is a godsend." "A lot of times the more you love someone, the more you'll grieve them." Tracy Wright is an entertainment reporter for Fox News Digital. Send story tips to Tracy.Wright@fox.com.

"I thought of my children, Lincoln and London, the ones that I had. I lost my son River," he exclusively told Fox News Digital. "I had Lincoln and London, and I saw their faces, and during a moment when I just wanted to end my life, I thought about them. And there was such a radiance of joy."
