FlourishAnyway believes there is a playlist for just about any situation and is on a mission to unite and entertain the world through song. With each goodbye we say, we mourn the loss of pattern and familiarity in our lives. Marriages, friendships, jobs, and love affairs end. New career opportunities take us to different locations. Children go off to college. Loved ones die. Some of the hardest goodbyes are the ones that are sudden, unexpected and don't allow the luxury of parting words or gestures. At times it's a choice, while at others it's chance. If you're fortunate, you get to say farewell. But that often doesn't make the transition easier.
1. "Goodbye My Lover" by James Blunt
