The saddest one to me is Bet Midler's, "Did you ever know you were my hero?" That says so much for so many to me.

I have the Today Show on and the crawl said a study showed that sad songs help you heal after a loss.. Do you know of any titles? or the words. Thank you.

After a really bad breakup, I lived on Peter Gabriel's US album. Come Talk to Me, Blood of Eden, and Digging in the Dirt were cathartic songs for me, then the album ends on Kiss that Frog, a really upbeat song, and Secret World, a song about looking back and acceptance, but with such an upbeat, driving rhythm it feels healing.

Mama's Bible
by Jeff & Sheri Easter

---

Mama never missed a Sunday
She attended faithfully
Church down by the river
Where she'd always prayed for me
In her arm's she held a Bible
With her name engraved in gold
Gift to her from daddy
Just before God called him home

She'd say life is a journey
That we travel through the years
Through mountains and the valley`s
Through the laughter and the tears
Take the road that's narrow,
But if you should ever stray
Just remember Mama's Bible
Will help you find your way

Mama's Bible, she'd say to me,
Will be your anchor on stormy seas
In times of trouble, in times of need
In Mama's Bible, always believe
There were night's when I'd come home late
To find her in her favorite chair
Reading from her Bible
Talking to the Lord in prayer

When her tears were just a memory
Her love will never die
I've read in Mama's Bible
They will never say goodbye

Mama's Bible, she'd say to me,
Will be your anchor on stormy seas
In times of trouble, in times of need
In Mama's Bible, always believe
In Mama's Bible, always believe

I can't listen to "One More Day" by Diamond Rio without crying.  

A song that I find sad yet empowering is "I'm Movin' On" by Rascal Flatts.

---

Wildcat fan - I agree. I can't listen without shedding a tear.

Here's a YouTube link to "One More Day" as well as the lyrics.

One More Day

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me 

It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you

One more day, one more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you, one more day

First thing I'd do is pray for time to crawl
I'd unplug the telephone and keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second, say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do with one more day with you

One more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you

"Go Rest High On That Mountain"

            written & performed by Vince Gill

"I know your life on earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the Devil
You were no stranger to the rain

Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
Wish I could see the angels' faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

So go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son

So go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son

Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son"
