There are several inspirational books, tapes and music available. Inspirational MusicWe particularly appreciate the music of Donny McCullough who has his own testimony of victory over grief.You can listen to his musical arrangements in our sympathy flower slide show or visit his site by clicking on his name. Music is historically soothing, going back to the time of King Saul, who requested David to play calming music to comfort his distressed heart. People all have their own tastes in music, and what is comforting for one might not be the ticket for another. It is helpful to know music preferences when you use music as a gift. There are some universally calming music styles, and those can be used in most any situation. Often these are spiritual songs and melodies, and many faiths have traditional grief music. Here are some lyrics to one of my personal favorites, said to have been written in 1873 after the lyricist Horation G. Spafford had just received news that his daughter had died in an accident at sea.
