I know many of us will have songs we now avoid or only listen to in our darkest moments,one song came on tonight which I never expected to reduce me to a wreck was chasing cars by snow patrol,I guess I will have to stop listening to music for a while.
My partner passed sunday and i havent been able to listen to music since
I still avoid music as much as possible, even my favourites. The lyrics seem to have taken on a new meaning. I avoid rabbit holes like the plague. If something hurts, I don’t do it. If something helps, I do it. Visiting old familiar places is painful, so I don’t visit, certain television programmes, well, I read a book in the evenings instead. I still haven’t looked at any photos.
It’s just my way of coping. Otherwise, it feels like picking a scab. Everyone is different, I just think that I have to give it time to start to heal, and that will never happen (for me) if I keep picking at it.

I still cant listen to hardly any music - even though it used to be on all the time in our house.
I have the car radio on for talking programmes only and I listen to podcasts when out with the dog.
The only thing I can tolerate is my daughter’s awful trance music.
Hopefully one day I’ll find some joy again in the music we used to love - but for the moment, silence is golden.
Hi Friends,
Music is so emotive isn’t it.
We used to listen to Magic Soul a lot at my partners place. We would sing and sometimes dance to the fabulous songs. I just can’t listen to that station now. Every song seems to hold a memory.
Just too painful now.
Sending love to everyone xxx
