That is a very nice story to read. It is always interesting to hear about how people can be stimulated back to life at what might seem to be the final hours.

Personally, I have a difficult time listening to music some times. Most times actually. Music from my era can trigger some overwhelming feelings. Some musical sounds can drop me to my knees so I try to avoid listening to music for the most part.

While I don't respond well to recorded music I do respond well to my own music. Singing or humming a made up song is a really helpful coping method. It helps to counter the uglies in my head. I also sing or hum to drown out loud and annoying sounds. I do it often and I do it anywhere because it helps keep me from falling apart when a siren breaks out or someone honks a horn or pretty much any sound that surprises me or gets to a pitch that causes my brain to rattle. Literally rattle inside my head while the anxiety of it all drops me to my knees.

Music can be my friend or it can be a foe.... depends on the day and the type of music. Volume makes a difference too.
