My DH had died after a long and awful battle with leukaemia-I was 29.

After a year or so I got a big promotion and moved sight unseen to a new city and gradually came back to life.... this song said it all for me

PorridgeAgainAbney · 22/02/2020 20:36

Emile Sande: Next to Me
Jess Glyne: I'll be There

Heard them both on the radio the day after my Dad died and whenever I hear either of them they give me hope and it's like a light in my head gets a tiny bit brighter.

Mary Ellen CARTER, by Stan Rodgers. It's about a ship that was wrecked and then recovered.
"And you to whom adversity has dealt its final blow
With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go
Turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain
And like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
