Music Therapy - Lets Sing

[bazooka111]

One of the beautiful discoveries that I have made this summer while in self isolation --- is that singing brings out the interaction between Mom and I. She has become very quiet, and yet music has taken a front row in our lives --- a connection remains between us with singing / music. Very thankful. I have offered a link for any of you that would like to witness the beauty of my mom knowing the words to this old song that we used to sing; she may not have the volume she once had, but she forms the words!

My Mum and I sang initially to help strengthen and maintain her voice, but towards the end it was a way of communicating with her so that she knew someone was with her and that it was me, as we had our special signature tunes. Sending you my love x

Singing to/with Mom has been a special connection; our new normal. She is down to the softest of whisper in her voice —- I miss her voice, so — music and singing familiar songs, truly brings the most beautiful expression across her face! ((Hugs to you))

Mike listens to the radio every morning (Classic Rock) with his care taker and they amazingly seem to know all the words! It’s lovely to listen to.

Isn’t it amazing how that happens! I can put on a song and mom will form the lyrics, no sound, but she knows the words!!! Music ... 🎶 🎵 the universal language.
