I am a musician and I wrote a song about my mother after she passed away. It still brings tears to my eyes. It's always hard to lose someone you love. But when you were that person's caregiver it's even more difficult. The song I wrote ends with ascending chords going higher and higher as if her soul is going to Heaven. I can relate to the Rabbi's discussion about a song. I welcome anyone's suggestion for dealing with the loss of a loved one.
This is so beautiful and emotional intimate personal expresion. The ascendings chords are such a divine interprestation of music. Lacrimosa of Mozart has the same idea as well and it is a Master piece still nowadays. I am sorry for your lost. Your idea of sharing your composition might help you to deal with the enourmous pain. Rest in her peace.
