Make a playlist of songs that lift your spirits

...so that, when you need it, it's there for you to listen to.

We don't know when the blues will hit, when we'll feel too tired or overwhelmed or angry to know what to do to nurture and cheer us, and might instead turn to things that won't do us good.

Your playlist can be part of a toolkit you gather in advance, so it's there to pick up at any moment, without needing to think about it.

Judith Silver, Founder of Companion Voices

Companion Voices are singers based in the UK who gather to learn songs and prepare themselves to sing for people at the end of life. We share our voices, compassion and loving presence, whether in person or virtually, when called upon to do so. Our deep and trusting community supports all Companions as well as those we gather to serve.
