Music for the soul

I've been listening to some really healing music recently.  I did some searches for songs about stillbirth or loss and found some wonderful pieces of music.  They make me cry, but are cathartic at the same time because it reminds me how many other families face this experience.  One song, which I have always loved but never really listened to the words, is "My Name" by George Canyon.  He's one of my favourite artists and its ironic that one of his songs speaks to me.  Neil's middle name is Canyon, partially after George Canyon.  It's like everything is coming full circle. 

These are the lyrics to "My Name":

It’s cold in here feels like everything’s upside down
I can feel you talking but I can barley make out the sound
I been kicking around these parts, feels like a year
I’m gonna change this world if I ever get out of here
She wants to dress me in pink, paint’s my bedroom blue
And I just laugh to myself, cause only I know the truth
This love is my only emotion
Haven’t learned any fear any pain
It’s kind of funny with all this commotion
I guess they’ve got me, to blame
They don’t even know my name
They don’t even know my name

Well I’ve never felt so ready, think it’s finally time
Cause that big old world is waiting, and it’s mine all mine
Just then everything got real quiet, it got real bright
And a man took my hand said don’t worry, Mommas gonna be alrightThen he opened the gate, & I followed him in
Said you can wait right, here till it’s your turn again
And his love is the one true emotion
Heaven knows no fear no pain
I never got to set my wheels in motion
They loved me just the same
And they didn't even know my name
Didn’t even know my name
You loved me just the same
And you didn’t even know my name

"And a man took my hand said don’t worry, Mommas gonna be alright".  This line speaks to me.  I've been so selfish these last 3 weeks thinking only about my loss and what I'm feeling.  But if I truly delve deeper into Riley's existence and what happened to him, and whether I believe he went to heaven, and if so, was he worried about me?  Did he know how much I loved him?  Was he worried about how I would survive this loss?  This song just makes me believe that Riley knows how much we loved him and makes me believe he's okay; he's in a better place.
