Hospice / With the Dying

I have been deeply touched by hearing stories of how my songs have been used as a source of comfort for the dying. Our culture has so few resources available for those who are preparing to make their transition out of this life. I feel honored to know that my songs have been useful in gifting those who are dying. As you'll read in the stories below, the songs have been a gift not only to those who are dying, but to their loved ones and caretakers as well. In many cases, selected songs have been played - or sung - at memorial services, and have been of great comfort to friends and family after the loss of a loved one. (Please see the section on Grief and Grieving for more on the use of the songs after the loss of a loved one).

While most of the stories you will read refer to songs from my Songs For The Inner Child recording, you will see references to songs from Bread For The Journey and You Can Relax Now as well.

Please note that these stories are not offered as scientific data. They are deeply personal stories that people have shared with me and allowed me to publish on my website.
