Stages of grief playlist

My sister had breast cancer for 7 years. She said that the five stages of grief missed two. She adds “Acting Out” and “Revenge”. I am planning a series of stages of grief playlists, because we are coming up on one million US citizens dead of Covid-19 and we are at six million world wide and counting. We need help grieving. I have other stuff going on to, so my go to is music.

Denial

Eagle Mountain String Band

Bargaining

Lake Street Dive: I want you back

Anger

Over the Rhine: oh yeah by the way

Acting out

Lily Allen: Smile

Revenge

Lily Allen: Fuck you

Grief

Citizen Cope: Sideways

Acceptance

Over the Rhine: All of My Favorite People

    I remember talking to Chris about adding revenge! seems like it was after a certain break up. Hope you are well!

      She told me both when her cancer had recurred. She wrote a very funny and sad piece about acting out with a stroller buying liquor with another friend with cancer.

    Love your selections, but have to admit that Over the Rhine always yanks me into a strange place. Love their music, but have to be in the right frame of mind for it.
