The quiet note: Music, the language of compassion at life's end

The quiet note: Music, the language of compassion at life's end 
Psychology Today; by Sara Leila Sherman and Morton Sherman; 7/14/25 
Music plays a vital role in the quieter, more tender, more difficult moments of life, especially near the end. We’ve seen how a single note, played or remembered, can become a bridge between worlds, between a person and their memories, a caregiver and a patient, a life lived and a life letting go. In those final moments of life, where silence often speaks louder than words, music and mindful action offer something medicine cannot: presence.
