Even after getting accustomed to it, the feeling is still there for me and there are times....

My best friend, the older sibling and brother I didn't have. He passed way too soon in 1995. I will always love you, Bruce.
Just listen, cry a little or a lot, and recall all of the good memories. I'm laughing and crying along with you.

It brings back so many memories. Between that and Neil's Harvest, I can close my eyes and be a teenager again. Peace to you, Duncanpup.

Thank you. The losses just keep coming. The price of living, I suppose.

17. The soundtracks to our lives.
Thu Jun 19, 2025, 01:49 PM

The songs and music that lives alongside us as we journey through this life. We each have one, and each one is different. I was born in the late sixties and I still live my days with music. I prefer the songs from my childhood. Luckily I had a Stepdad that had a great album collection and had speakers all through the houses we lived in. I can listen to almost anything and some days I tend to be a slave to the crave. Meaning some days it's R&B, some days it's rocking and some days it's classical. When I clean the house, I play Pink Floyd - Animals. It makes me get in the zone. I don't think I could live in a world without music.

Is terrific. It’s a fine thing to share and remember with. Maybe a little melancholy, but a very nice thing overall to keep us connected.

Losing a spouse isn’t just heartbreaking—it rewires the way you think,...and the pain is just dull.
You get use to it. Hell NO.

This was the first album I ever bought - as a teen with my babysitting money. It transports me back in time too.

I know you miss her so much and am so truly sorry for your loss. Your enduring love for her comes through so brightly whenever you post about her.

[Ain't it good to know ...] You have many friends here, who care about you and support you on this uneven journey to healing & peace.

Since MrsK and LilBiit, left, I'm extremely careful of the music I listen to, or, sing, for that matter.
Music is one, of the most powerful triggers in Bereavement.
If, you pulled up this song,because you miss her.
post a pic of Elizabeth and you, in the good times,instead of,the song that was in background, for that good picture.

You love Elizabeth, still love, as , I do, MrsK and LilBit.
The brain hears music,the heart,, loves.
Don't let them fight,
Inside of you,
Koz
