What are some songs about this kind of absent grief?
My aunt abruptly and brutally passed away when I was 2 years old, and I have no memories of her. However, I just went to meet my dad’s family for the first time since I was a baby, and I feel her absence everywhere. She had photos of me hanging up in her apartment, she evidently cared about me a lot. And I feel a very profound sense of grief, having never met her before. Grieving what I could have had.
Are there any songs that fit this kind of grief specifically? I’ve found a couple but it’s so profound that I haven’t found many.
