The Grief and Growth Experience
Songs
Music speaks to my soul in ways words sometimes can’t. Below, you’ll find songs for all kinds of moments. Songs for the days you need to cry, songs for when you want to fight your way back, and songs for the moments when you just need a little quiet and understanding.
Some days music says the things we can’t.
This page is simply a collection of songs that helped me survive grief, loss, anger, love, and healing. All music and videos belong to their respective artists and creators on YouTube. If a song speaks to you, please support the artist behind it.
