Comments About the Music-Thanatology Community of Providers
“That one song would go over and over in my mind. I forgot all about the pain. Boom, right there it went. [The music] sends you into a different place, and I didn’t realize that could happen. I tell you, it’s the best medicine that you can ever get.”
