This article is called, "The music that helped me through the death of a loved one." It has a few different people's perspectives but it was written by Ben Allen.
"Ben"
In the months following the death of a loved one, grief bleeds into every facet of your life. It shapes how you see the world and lingers over all of your interactions...
(Music: The Antlers album Hospice, song Wake)
"Alexandra"
new stage of grief...an acceptance and an ability to treasure memories instead of feeling them as physical pain
"Jeff"
Real Death: Death is real. Someone is there and then they're not, and it's not for singing about. It's not for making into art.
"Nathan"
Grief isn't some simple, flat thing. It's a diamond-hard, sharp, and multifaceted. Happy memories that feel soured, the pain of the immediate absence, and the cutting realization of things that won't happen.
(Music: Time, As a Symptom, Joanna Newsome-Divers)
"Deb"
(Music: Great Expectations, Gaslight Anthem)
"Jess"
There is no way to get over this kind of loss. The wound scabs, but it never heals completely. I will always scratch it off.
