Weighed Down By Grief Over She Who Is “Weightless”

On June 7, 2009 my eldest daughter, Bayan, died from complications of lymphoma. Ever since that day, there have been songs that have helped me deal with the grief of her loss. I call them, “The Soundtrack of my Grief.” The song I reflect on here is “Weightless,” by Natasha Bedingfield.

The Soundtrack of My Grief: "You Are The Piece of Me I Wish I Didn't Need"

Ever since the death of my daughter on June 7, 2009, I have written and reflected on many things that remind me of her, including many popular songs. It is one of the ways the Lord saved my life after her death. Today, on her birthday, I embark on a new series on Healthcare Musings: "The Soundtrack of My Grief," where I discuss those songs that have helped me cope with her death. The first song upon which I will reflect is "Clarity," by Zedd. Song link: https://music.apple.com/us/song/clarity...
