So far, I have worked out numbers 10 and 9….but 8…well, 8 happened to really help me, I suppose. A song that makes me recall a great personal loss. Struggling to understand how we can be given a gift and then have it taken away. Not all the songs in this list are going to be cheerful ones, but as it is the song list of my life, then this one must be included.
Eric Clapton’s Tears in Heaven.
“Tears In Heaven”
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on,
‘Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I’ll find my way
Through night and day,
‘Cause I know I just can’t stay
Here in heaven.
Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please, begging please.
Beyond the door,
There’s peace I’m sure,
And I know there’ll be no more
Tears in heaven.
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on,
‘Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in heaven.
As a parent, this song breaks your heart even more. No parent should have to bury his or her child. I cannot think of a greater personal tragedy. The song is a beautiful tribute.

It is. So hard to put into words the feelings, the emotions. Getting past all the questions and trying to understand. This song offers comfort and sharing of the pain of loss.
