Music Monday - On This Side of Heaven

Happy #MusicMonday fellow grievers. It’s been said that music is medicine for the soul - and that is something I stand behind 100%. Music has a way of expressing the things that can’t be said and I, for one, have found it to be my saving grace during my darkest days. There is something about a poignant lyric and a moving melody that can make your heart swell.

And these lyrics. Wow.

I opted to share this version with you instead of Eric’s official music video because I didn’t want the emotion of the visuals to overpower what the words are saying. And while this song might have originally been written from the perspective of losing a significant other - I think anyone grieving after the loss of a loved one can relate to the pain and heartache behind these haunting words.

Sweet mama, without you here, I’m falling apart on this side of heaven. 💔
