In July Lauren wrote on Instagram:

“To the families and people who have been affected by this horrible disease or any disease, my family has felt the pain you’ve felt for the last four months. We are praying for you. We love you, and we are so thankful for all the love coming our way.”

During Sam’s last moments with his family, he opened his eyes, looking more clear that they have recently seen, and Lauren recounts what followed:

“His last few hours were some of the most amazing moments I know I will ever have the privilege of witnessing. He opened his eyes last night. They shined the brightest I’ve ever seen anyone’s eyes shine, and he said, ‘Jesus,’” she posted.” “He later said, ‘I love you all. I found it.’ My mom asked him what he found and he said, ‘Heaven. I’ve got to go.’”

During the ACM Awards, of which Lauren shared the picture of her and her family happily together, she also shared a breathtaking duet with longtime friend Kane Brown.

The chemistry during their performance was so intense that fans wondered if the two were really in relationships with other people. Their performance of the song mere weeks after the song topped the Billboard charts.

Lauren is currently on a tour but had canceled a few appearances because of the family’s medical emergency. Her performances in Texas, at the Smart Financial Center on October 19, followed by the next night's performance in at the White Water Amphitheater got canceled.

She was also absent from the 2018 CMT Artists of the Year ceremony in Nashville on October 17. Fans look forward to seeing more of her while on tour with Cole Swindell’s ‘Reason to Drink Another....Tour.’
