Years ago I once listened to a lot of country music, but eventually my interest in it vanished. Too many pickup trucks, girls, and dirt roads and I soon tired of it. But in the mix of country music are some wonderful gems. Lately, since Kaitlyn died, I have found some of those gems and they greatly apply to how I feel and I have posted many of them in my blog. Kaitlyn never liked country music except for maybe 2 seconds when she was little. Years ago I bought a few Faith Hill CDs. On one CD I found this song which I immediately loved and it was so inspiring. It’s my favorite Faith Hill song. It was never made into a single and has no official video, but I did find this really good live version. Though my faith has been shaken to its core since Kaitlyn died, I remembered this song (I have long lost the CD), so I looked it up on you tube.
I have to believe these words or I won’t be able to live anymore.

Those words are believable – definitely.

I just discovered your blog after reading your article in the Journeys Through Grief Newsletter. I’ve added your blog to the website I’ve been curating in memory of my 23 year old son who died 16 months ago. The website is a collection of blogs, articles, videos and other resources for bereaved parents and siblings.
I’m so sorry about your daughter. She was clearly a beautiful and accomplished young woman.

I’d never heard that one from Faith. The words are true. Why is it when were younger, we just don’t HEAR the words of a song and it’s meaning until we are older??? My fav music lately has been New Age. It seems to free my soul and soothe my worries. It makes me calm, and takes me into a Space of Serenity. I need that not only for my recovery from addiction, but helps keep my emotional disorder triggers at bay. I admire your brave soul to be able to write and share how your feelings around such heart break. So thanks for that. Know your helping others in Powerful way…..not just helping me… 🙂 🙂 Hugs & Blessings Rhonda! *Catherine*

Thank you so very much. I don’t know much about new age music. If you would, point me to a youtube page of some of it if you don’t mind. May be something I need.
