Palliative Care Through Song
A reflection on grief healing resilience and the Three Cs of recovery

Lost in the shadow of the night so cold
Tears like rivers but the story’s untold
I see a fork in the road ahead
Gotta pick a path
No more hiding in my head

First C I choose
Next C I breathe
This is my life
I won't just grieve

Choose to rise choose to fight
Choose to dance through the darkest night
Connect with hands that pull me through
Communicate my heart to you
The 3 C's they set me free
Rise Again no fear in me

Felt the anger
Bargained with time
Want to rewind
But the clock’s not mime

Now I’m building a bridge from me to you
Every word a plank
Every hug a clue

First C I choose
Next C I feel
Third C I speak
My heart's for real

Choose to rise choose to fight
Choose to dance through the darkest night
Connect with hands that pull me through
Communicate my heart to you
The 3 C's they set me free
Rise Again

Choose to rise choose to fight
Choose to dance through the darkest night
Connect with hands that pull me through
Communicate my heart to you
The 3 C's they set me free
Rise Again no fear in me

No fear in me
No fear in me
No fear in me

Choose Connect Communicate
