Top 25 Songs after Loss

What do you do when:

  • You’re in the thick of grief and want to be surrounded by people who know what you’re going through, but can’t get out of bed?

  • You’re finding music for a special occasion such as a funeral service but have no idea where to begin?

  • You want to explain a feeling or situation to someone, but words don’t quite do it justice?

  • You just want to blast some music super loud and have a good cry?

You may turn to music! There is something unexplainable and healing about having music surround us and hold us in our grief. It is something we turn to in our happiest times, and also in our hardest, to try and make sense of a situation or to give us the space to feel. It fills the silence and stops us from overthinking, provides comfort and support in a way another person cannot, makes us feel less lonely as we sit in a house alone, fills a void and wraps us in understanding and love without giving advice or being in our space.
