Hugs if wanted, friend.

I'm twitchy about certain things too. In terms of visual media, I love the content warning database Does The Dog Die, so that I can get a heads up on anything that might impact me.

Wishing you a gentle Tuesday.

This is beautiful!

I hope tomorrow is as gentle as it can be.

Thank you for finding the words.

Grief blossoms into poetry eventually, but it's hard to find the words when you're in it.

Holy wow...reading this a couple of weeks after creating a playlist of songs I associate with a departed friend.

Beautifully written.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Trying new music might be helpful in the longer term, even if it feels difficult at first.

I've found the Spotify daylist and radio features (if you want something based on a particular song) to be quite helpful.

I still get the songs I can tolerate, plus new stuff.
