Grief is one of the specific times our angels wish they could reach out and physically hold us. As eternal lights of energy, their purpose is to raise us from the depths of sadness and show us that love exists, even when we grieve. After all, the popular saying is indeed that grief is love, with no place to go.
As our angels watch us weep through times of desolation, they try to find extraordinary ways to comfort us. Opening their wings for us to rest under, they frequently connect via sad songs. You might notice this if you feel the need to cry, but cannot find the suitable prompt for you to do it. The next thing you know, you're switching the radio on, or driving in your car at the exact time a sad song comes on.
This is all you need to be able to connect with the song, find meaning in its sadness, and sit with it for the duration and likely beyond. If it is a sad song, you've never heard before, you'll know to reach out and find it the next time you need to.
You see, sad songs were written by somebody going through a sad time. The words you hear or sing along with were composed of those who know what it's like to suffer a loss or the pain of losing someone dear. That is why they are shared with the world so that people can relate and feel connected.
Angels are really there to hand-pick their music selection for us when we need them, and show us that it's okay to feel the way we do. Sad music is frequently avoided by many, as it is seen to open up a can of worms, or allow emotions out that really ought to be kept inside. Angels look on in despair and ask, why? Why keep the sadness in when there are healthy ways to let them go and feel more your true self?
The authenticity behind a sad song is that it does far more than simply covering up a wound that is painful. Sad music in general is therapeutic for those who give the songs time to resonate and help the individual sort out the clutter that's going on in their minds.
Have you ever been in a situation where you find yourself feeling as if everything has piled up on top of you? Perhaps your head hurts, or you are experiencing mild panic or that feeling as though you are trapped. You keep going, and keep going as though you are a hamster on a wheel, and you can't quite put your finger on what it is that is causing this emotion build-up inside you?
Life, like this, is for so many. There seems to be a lack of awareness when it comes to our own sadness, and often we only discover it when it's too late and we burst into tears at the most random of places.
When angels want to send us a sign that they are there, comforting us, it normally comes during a moment of solitude. They don't want to cause a scene for us, so instead the song will likely be at a time where you can take a moment to reflect fully on what it means for you.
As you do so, you will feel instantly lighter. It is as if with each passing second, a little of what has been locked away is gone, and your soul is being cleansed by the cathartic sounds of meaningful music that you can cry to.
When you hear sad music, it is sad for you for good reason. As you listen, think about what the lyrics mean, and how you can find parallels with your own life. Is there a love that has gone, or are you feeling down and depressed? If anything – your angels want the meaning to be that you are not alone, and that this part of your life is not destined to be permanent. This should help bring a little hope into your mind, and create a feeling that everything happens for a reason. You are strong, and your angels always have your back.
