This experience has obviously had a huge impact on Blake Shelton, and the lingering trauma is evident in some of his songs. Miranda Lambert's "Over You," which was co-written by Shelton, was about Richie. Lambert described it as a "special moment" for her and ex-husband Shelton, which helped him open up about the feelings of loss and sadness for his sibling.

"It's one of those moments where even if you're married to someone, sometimes you find something new about them," she told "Essentials Radio" on Apple Music (via People). "Dudes don't open up about things but he started telling me about the experience of it all." Lambert encouraged Shelton to write his feelings down on paper, which she felt she could help as "an outside perspective".

To Lambert, the experience not only helped her understand Shelton but was a way to help his family heal, too. "I'm so glad we shared that song and that it helped his family heal, to have that together," she concluded.
