I just heard Bridge over Troubled Water on the radio and for a few minutes it made me feel better about my day, my week, my losses, etc. I get the same feeling when I listen to Van Morrison.
What does everyone else draw inspiration or strength from?
Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12
Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
Re: What music makes you feel better?
I've been listening to a lot of old 70s soul & funk. This video in particular never fails to make me smile, even on my worst days (Love Train by the O'Jays, with bonus Soul Train line dancing):

I have a few songs that make me feel better. two are:
Hillsong United - Hosanna
almost anything from Linkin Park
Remembering Evelyn and raising Bailey
Evelyn Born at 24wks 6days on May 22, 2010 due to pre-e Passed away May 25, 2010
BFP# 2 Delivered 6wks early due to preeclampsia
More than a few times in the last 3 months, when I'm having a particularly bad moment or a bit of a freak out (like when a co-worker announces pg or I just am feeling overwhelmed), Breathe by Anna Nalick has come up on my Pandora. It's kinda become my theme song in moments of panic.
