I Sang at Hundreds of Funerals. This Is What I Learned About Grief.

In the depths of sorrow, music can offer solace and connection.

As a professional singer, I have had the privilege of performing at hundreds of funerals. It is a profound and humbling experience that has taught me a great deal about grief and the power of music.

Music can help us express our emotions.

Grief is a complex and often overwhelming emotion. It can be difficult to find the words to express how we are feeling. Music can provide a way to do this. When we sing or listen to music that resonates with our emotions, it can help us to feel less alone and more connected to others who have experienced similar losses.

Music can help us to heal.

Grief is a process that takes time. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Music can help us to heal by providing comfort and support. It can also help us to process our emotions and to find meaning in our loss.

Music can bring us together.

Funerals are often a time for family and friends to come together and support one another. Music can help to create a sense of community and belonging. It can also help to break down barriers and to foster connections between people who are grieving.

If you are grieving the loss of a loved one, I encourage you to seek out music that can help you to express your emotions, heal your heart, and find connection with others.
