What are some good sad songs for a woman to listen to when her man has left her?

Question

A friend's husband just left her. She is feeling shock, denial, anger and depression - all the things any of us would feel. I remember when it happened to me, one way I grieved and got thru the pain quicker was to listen to songs that were about a broken relationship where one person leaves another feeling so hurt, lonely & sad. I'd like to put together a CD of songs for my woman friend to listen to when it will make her feel better to sing along with such songs.

Can you name some songs for me to use? Title and Artist if you know them, please.

Thank you.

Answer 1

That may have worked for you, but maybe you should try to lift her spirits instead of letting her wallow.  Songs about strong women like "before he cheats" (not sure if that's the right name) but it's by Carrie Underwood.  

I guess you don't want to hear what I think you should do, you just want to hear answers so try the Dixie Chicks with "You were Mine".  Heck, any woman country singer should have some. "Yesterday" by the Beatles,  try this website also for more ideas:

OoOooOo here's a website that has angry break up songs, maybe you can make her two CDs and put Sad on one and Angry on the other and let her choose which one she wants to listen to depending on her mood:

I really like the last website's ideas.  If I had a friend who's husband just left her I'd totally make a couple CDs from those choices.

Answer 2

Personally, I don't think exposing her to songs about heartbreak is the best decision.

It may have worked for you, but she may have other means of grieving.

How about getting some girlfriends over, cook out, bash men, and get her mind off the situation.

Answer 3

Picture by Kid Rock or Angel by Alicia Keys. These were the two that I listened to the most when my ex-husband and I split.

Answer 4

One of my ALL time favorite songs that I listened to when an ex gf and I split is a country song by Darryl Worley and its called "I Miss My Friend"  He actually wrote the song when a GF he was dating at the time went from Home state of Tenneesee to Florida for work and then she was killed in a car wreck, That has got to be one of the most Powerful songs I ever heard that is a "tear jerker"  and another good one is by Travis Tritt  song is called "I Dont Love You Anymore"

Answer 5

Positive songs,Inspirational Songs,no love me,love you music.Listen some Gospel music.Kirk Franklin - There's a blessing in the storm.R.Kelly - 3 way phone call.Yolanda Adams,Donnie McClurkin.Mariah Carey - Hero,Whitney Houston - Greatest love of all.Mariah & Whitney - When u believe.Just to name a few.Broken hearted songs are the worst,that is like pouring salt in her wounds.

Answer 6

Alanis Morsette,,,song "You Outta Know",,,she puts alot of emotions into that song and it says all the right things.  Most men I know hate that song.  Listen to it and you will see why.  It is guarenteed to give her a little boost.  Music is good  therapy, I think making her a CD is a great idea, it shows you are relating to her.
