and so they pass on

the death of a family member. its always painful when all you want to do is curl up in a ball and cry yourself dry, but you still have to put your best face forward and hide away that vulnerable hurt being who cant stand on their own.
its an awful feeling, but sadly, everyone experiences it. all you can really do is remember the most perfect and delicate times, and lock the memories away in your mind to cheer you up at the funeral. but the irony is that as soon as you think about your loved one, let your mind dwindle to these precious moments, you cant breathe again, and you break down.
personally, i find music helpful. not the happy stuff, not the screaming, incomprehensible selections, but rather the raw, beautiful ballads that remind you that others are and have felt the same way that you do now. its a magical thing, music. it will suit your every mood, and find a way to comfort you.
so if youre feeling the same way, check out a few of these songs.

listen to:

• remembering sunday, all time low
• angels on the moon, thriving ivory
• your guardian angel, red jumpsuit apparatus
