So many good songs here… my go-to songs when I feel like wallowing in old losses (which I am happy to say I almost never do anymore!) are: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4F\_cXGQN9k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4F_cXGQN9k) How Can I Help You Say Goodbye by Patty Loveless and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttggMJeUAo4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttggMJeUAo4) You Were Mine by Dixie Chicks ---

Some of my favorite goodbye songs: Christina Perri, “Jar of Hearts” Merle Haggard and Toby Keith, “She Ain’t Hooked On Me No More” Missy Higgins, “Where I Stood” Don Henley, “You Don’t Know Me At All” And on a much lighter note, Brad Paisley, “I’m Gonna Miss Her” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/j33QPebaxe4/maxresdefault.jpg "I'm Gonna Miss Her") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j33QPebaxe4) ---
