    I don't know if anyone said it already because I don't have time to go through all of these, but my go-to song when I feel that way is Tuesday's Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

    You can't go wrong with The Cure's "Disintegration" album. Everything on there is sob-worthy and has gotten me through lots of need-to-cry days! :D

    Mother & Child Reunion - Paul Simon

    I worked in an Animal Hospital for many years. There was a surgery tech I worked with who was usually an irreverent crack up. Really, she said some unreal crazy funny *kitten* at the worst times. She had some amazing comic timing that would make you crack a smile at the saddest times.

    One day, there was a middle aged dog, about 8 I think, who had an exploratory that day & his insides were just ugly =( The owners opted not to euthanize, however, the dog was in such bad shape, he never recovered.

    After doing everything she could to make him comfortable, we did what we could while the family rushed to see him before he expired. She brushed his face sweetly as she passed him & said ' your mommy is calling you back home, isn't she?'

    It was a sad & random thing, but after hearing Mother & Child Reunion for years & years, it occurred to me she was right.

    Sure enough, I googled the song & it was about the day Paul Simon had to euthanize his family dog. :brokenheart:

    Still can't listen to it without blubbering :tongue:
