My mom died the week before Christmas at age 59. Does anyone know of any good songs about loss to help me?

Answer 1

I'm sorry for your loss. When my grandfather passed away 2 years ago a lot of songs helped me cope with his death.

Who'd You'd Be Today-Kenny Chesney
Go Rest High on that Mountain- Vince Gill
I Can Only Imagine- MercyMe
Tears in Heaven- Eric Clapton
Lifehouse- Breathing
Sarah Mclachlan-Do What You Have to Do
Shania Twain- It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing
Brad Paisley- When I get where I'm going

The song that most helped me is by Andy Griggs and its called "If Heaven." Here is a link to the lyrics.

These songs above are all sad and focused around death and if you want to cry and let it all out they are great. If you want to remember the good times and smile about your mother try these out... These songs all remind me of my mother. She lives about 12 hours away and this by no means compares with your loss. They help me with the distance though.

Somebody's Hero-Jamie O'Neal
A Song for Mama- Boys 2 Men
You've Got A Friend- James Taylor
Sugarland-Baby Girl

Hope this Helps!

Answer 2

Only 5?! Venus In Furs - Velvet Underground I Wanna Be Your Dog - The Stooges Or, The Great Gig In The Sky - Pink Floyd Taste The Pain - Red Hot Chili Peppers Peaches En Regalia - Frank Zappa The End - The Doors (if you actually played this just before you died it would make for a dramatic exit)

Answer 3

I'm so sorry for your loss! I lost my mother just about 3 years ago and know what you are going through. I've found a lot of support on a great website for grief, email me privately if you are interested in checking it out.

As for a song, I still listen to Linda Ronstadt's "Good-bye My Friend" over and over again. This link is to the lyrics to the song.

Answer 4

Ohhhhhh, i'm so sorry, i feel deeply for u as i lost my grandmother when i was 9. I don't know many songs that could help but i know some beautiful songs that are very meaningful to me and help me feel better. U2 with or without you, celine dion, my heart will go on, shania twain from this moment, U2 all i want is you, U2 one, U2 sometimes you can't make it on your own, foreigner i want to know what love is, backstreet boys, show me the meaning of being lonely. They are very beautiful songs, i love them all. I hope they help. Take care : )

Answer 5

so sorry to hear about your loss. Richard Marx has written 2 beautiful songs about his Father when he died, they are called "Straight From My Heart" and "The Other Side", try getting your hands on those and I hope help ease your pain right now.

Answer 6

I like "Wind Beneath My Wings" and a country song about teardrops from heaven but I can't remember the name. I am sorry about your mom. My dad died when he was only 47 and I know it is really hard to deal with your emotions.

Answer 7

JAMIE FOXX- I WISH YOU WERE HERE
ITS A GOOD SONG, THE BEST THINGS to do is to stay happy cause If you keep negative thoughts of death on your mind you will attract more negative death thoughts. Good luck and Im sorry 2 hear that.

Answer 8

If your looking to depress yourself try mariah carey ill never forget you if your looking for some peace try lone star im already there sorry to hear about your mother

Answer 9

Josh Groban's "To Where You Are"

It's a beautiful song.. I am sorry for your loss.

Answer 10

Have you ever heard of 'With You in Your Dreams' By Hanson? It's on their 'Middle of Nowhere' CD. It helped me when a friend had paased on, it may help you.
