This is a companion mixtape to "My Dad". This one is all about loss, coming to grips with losing someone or something you love. I am dealing with the death of a parent, but relationships end in many ways, lovers part, or maybe beliefs that were once held are shattered. Here is a mix of music which deals with some of the many ways in which loss can creep up on us...
