Tears are cleansing. Music is a powerful release of emotion. Thank you for your contribution. I hope you find solace in your grief. Losing someone we love, while a part of everyone's life, is difficult to navigate. Music helps keep us from bumping up against the obstacles, as does writing down our feelings. It keeps us flowing in the stream of life, ever hopeful that the heartache will be replaced with comforting memories.
I agree, Cathy - I think oftentimes, we are taught that certain emotions - sadness, anger, fear - are dangerous, and should be avoided. In my experience, leaning in to the tough emotions can allow them to be expressed, and as you say, tears can be cleansing. I love your metaphor of the stream of life - beautiful.
