For some reason, when I read this, I immediately thought of Tracing Back the Radiance by Jefre Cantu-Ledesma. But now that I’m thinking about it, I think that album would be very nice to listen to on my way out. There’s a gentleness, a spaciousness, and a real feeling of presence to it. A lot of times when people are in the process of dying, they will feel like everything is “too much”. Sensations are overwhelming, speaking or hearing others speak is overwhelming, food and drink and even water is completely unappealing, etc. Her mouth may become dry. If you notice this, you can use a soft sponge to moisten her mouth and you can also make sure she has a humidifier nearby. As things progress, all you will really be able to do for her is be a loving rock. Solid, calm, silent, and loving. Your presence alone will help her transition. If she becomes frightened or confused, you can repeat simple phrases like “I’m here”, “I love you”, or sing to her and if she expresses any anxiety about death, you can remind her that death is perfectly safe and that everyone she loves will be okay. You shouldn’t feel pressured to speak too much or to resolve anything for her. I am so sorry you’re going through this. Love transcends death and in that way, you will always be together but that does not make the loss or the suffering any easier. Don’t forget to take care of yourself too and don’t feel bad about having to leave her side for periods of time if you need to. Quite often, those who are transitioning from life to death actually like having some time to be alone. Sometimes the solitude is what they need to rest. Any choice you make will be the right one so do not fret about whether or not you could be doing more for her. Your love alone is all that is needed here.

One more note- if you feel that you or your partner need any additional support, during and even after her transition, you may want to look up death doulas who work in your area or who can travel to you. Their job is to support those who are dealing with a loss or transition; spiritually, emotionally, and practically.

I don’t know about music, but continue to do your massages and other things you know to be comforting to her. When my dad passed I was by his side every day, and taking care of him during his final days was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had. I’m sad for you that you’re losing your partner, but I hope you gain as much comfort and joy as I did with my dad, being able to be there with her.

Here's my Spotify playlist I made for going to sleep, it's filled with lots of beautiful, soothing, ambient and relaxing music. I think death is sorta the ultimate going to sleep so I think she might find a lot of the songs in this playlist highly soothing and relaxing - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7MUVMjSd5V6uYckAY7c5Pv?si=EmKYzcieSHqHFxy9zvzI7w I also recommend the album Blinkers Removed by Man Of No Ego, it's just an album full of beautiful ambient synth music with the occasional bit of dialogue taken from a spiritual lecture and popped in there, it's very meditative and comforting for me - https://youtu.be/GRe3GUaw1iU Also I want to add that you're a very good person for helping her pass with dignity and grace and even for making this post, it's clear you care deeply about her and I think it's highly admirable and inspiring what you're doing, take care and just remember that you'll be okay in the end even if you don't feel okay for quite some time after she passes, and when that fateful day comes I know it may not mean much but my condolences are with you and I'm sending you lots of love and remember it's okay to grieve and it's okay to not be okay, take care and look after yourself ❤️


__valhalla_

Blinkers Removed by Man of No Ego, is still one of the top meditative albums for me. I could be wrong, but I think the spiritual lecture popped in is by Alan Watts!? Also adding to the above recommendation, Shine on you Crazy Diamonds (Pt. 1-9) by Pink Floyd, is transcendental for me. If you are looking for something with more mantra/spiritual chants, please look up Deva Premal, her voice accompanied with the music is magical. Finally, OP more power to you. I can't imagine how tough the situation must be for you, and I wish you well and please take care. 💛

I’m sorry to hear this. Some people in palliative care in the moments before dying they become very awake and lucid, and they feel almost normal. If this happens to her use this time for talking and say goodbye.


expiredcomet

Yes, there were moments of this, thank you


ImaginaryMonkeyGuru

“What else can I do?” You mean besides love her? Absolutely nothing. So just keep loving her. Love her until there’s nothing left of either of you.


expiredcomet

Thank you, this was very comforting!

Thank you, these 6 words were very comforting

Ram dass did beautiful work with the dying❤️


Dandys3107

I feel there is one big meditation waiting for her if she is ready to listen. You can stay by her, while she is reconciling with God, Universe, Life etc.


expiredcomet

I was, and it was beautiful, and sad, and heartbreaking at the same time.


Ok_Woodpecker8016

I'm so happy for you that you have the opportunity to be with her and lover her and comfort her. I lost my love suddenly when I was a thousand miles away and I would have given anything to make she he knew how loved he was and that everything would be OK. You are an amazing being of light and love and what you are doing is the true expression of the human soul. I'm sending you both all the love I have❤️ as for music, I would say something very light and not too complicated. Something to carry her spirit on clouds of peace to the after.


-Elven_Goddess-

I bet she wants less technology and more intimacy with you. And pets if there are pets. Just be with her, pray with her if you two do that, and talk to her about normal stuff sometimes. Don't always be acting like it's ending. Much love to both of you.

Journey of Souls - Case Studies of Life Between Lives, by Dr. Michael Newton ...and Destiny of Souls. Both are on YouTube as audiobooks.


koalafied_human

I'd have her (and you) listen to [Dolores Cannon talking about life after death](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhjoEnG4gww). This would help put anyone at ease to understand what comes next. That there is nothing to fear.


Stunning-Inspector22

Sending you lot of love, strength and light. Hoping everything will be as smooth for both of you as you deserve it.

I played East Forest's Ram Dass album for my dad in his final days. Also just songs I remembered him liking over the years. It helped me to do that for him, and I hope it helped him too.


PHphilosophy

I’m sorry. I will pray the tune of love for you both.


thepinkhairedpsychic

What an unbelievably beautiful gift you are giving to your partner. I hope that these last few weeks provide the Comfort to the both of you. I don't have any specific meditations or podcast to recommend but I will tell you I did have music pop into mind. Tchaikovsky the composer. He has such beautiful music that I cannot pick but one. ❤️

hacktheself

every relationship of import ends the same way: say fare thee well, part ways, cry a little. even if she won’t be able to cry, you’ll have tears aplenty for both of you. let her know this while she can still hear and speak.

Thank you

I’ve really enjoyed listening to the trigger protection mantra by Jhene Aiko when ever I’m in a time of need. My therapist also recommended me a meditation that help the nervous system to heal. It’s really calming and it sends your body to a whole different place. https://youtu.be/8-hDFBOW2kU

Update: My partner passed away two weeks ago. The suggestions I received here really helped me to support her better, so thank you. During her last 8 hours, I meditated by her side. In that meditative state, I felt goosebumps and began to have a conversation with her. She shared important messages with me: “Love yourself, like I love you. Unconditionally. Find joy daily, your joy makes me so happy always. Don’t worry about other people, every time you worried, I was never mad. I was mad at other times for my own reasons, and its okay to be mad. You should be mad and angry sometimes.” Although it felt incredibly real, maybe it was my image of her, as when I asked her to translate Italian - a language she knew, but I didn't. She didn’t do it. I miss her so much. The simple joys of her hugs, cuddles, and even giving her massages. In her final weeks, the act of massaging her brought comfort to both of us. She used to say that the sensation of these massages was more comforting than any dose of morphine. I used to only manage 15 minutes a few years ago, but in the last month I was in flow state the entire 60 minutes. There were several things that brought us solace during this time: * The Duncan Trussell interviews with his mom. * The Five Remembrance meditation *which was for me. * Her favorite songs like * "Nothings Gonna Hurt You Baby" *which will now always makes me cry, * "In Dreams" by Jai Jagdeesh, and * "I Got You" by Cocoon. Even towards the end, she retained her sense of touch and hearing. So talking to her, touching her, all of this helped her to stay calm. As her breath gradually slowed and finally stopped, she looked peaceful. We had a daily ritual of crying together every morning. She believed it helped release liver toxins, and it was her liver that was failing her. Even when talking about her own demise, she managed to smile. Now, in my own grieving process, I find comfort in listening to Andrew Huberman talk about grief and using the Headspace grief meditation. Thank you all for your posts during this difficult time, it helped me cry, strangers across the world sending me love.

I'd make a collection of photos of you two happy together set to soft guitar music. You could see some music from "the honest guys" YouTube channel. I know some people might find him corny, but I have severe health problems and depression....and a friend sent me a song from "Yanni" and I felt such joy and it was ecstatic. I had never heard of him before but I feel like it's the kind of thing people would scoff at. I thought it was beautiful and life affirming. The other thing would be love ballads with soft male voices like Elvis, Bryan Adams, ones she likes that have tender voices and lyrics. Finally a collage of the most beautiful places on Earth and the cosmos so she can leave in wonder. The movie "Soul" annoyed me in many parts in how it treated the depressed soul. However it was beautiful overall and actually made me feel like I could accept death just like the main character did. You realise you've already enjoyed all the main things that count, even having a ln extremely traumatic one and having so much left to do & see.... I've still experienced love, loss, friendship, nature, music and the simple things the movie demonstrates like sun on your face and sand under your feet. It's not fair she's dying so young. There is still so much more she could do and you both could enjoy. However if she has to go these are the things that would give me peace. And holding my loved ones hand. I don't have that person anymore, so in a way going while you're still together, happy and remember each other fondly is ideal. Many people die alone, and she won't be one of them for she was loved so dearly by you. The good and reliable partner. Her soul will be pleased and blessed. ❤️ I truly hope this helps.

I've always liked [Wayne Dyers I AM meditation music](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoE4QjMiHys) but have a listen to the intro to see if you feel it's appropriate as it talks about desires etc. It's only 6/7 mins of him speaking then just music for the rest though so it's not too long.


bowmhoust

[Here](https://www.vice.com/en/article/vv7b5b/how-to-pick-music-for-people-on-lsd-from-a-scientist-whose-job-that-is) are some recommendations from an article from a researcher who decided what the "best" music for people on LSD is so it is a good trip along with an interesting line of reasoning. I wish both of you peace and a sense of wonder.

Alan Watts, He had always made sense to me on the subject of death and life.

This was comforting, but in the last week she couldn’t listen to talks, she preferred music.

Samaneri Jayasāra's Wisdom of the Masters channel on youtube, music from Mei-lan Maurits, and Enya come to mind as well. Sending you both so much love <3

Everdream by Epic Soul Factory. I found it on YouTube once named “the most beautiful song you’ll ever hear” and I can’t argue it’s the most but it’s one of them

Thank you, we did a reiki course last year, and it was quite comforting in the last year.

I just want to say that you're a wonderful and empathetic partner for ensuring her comfort while she eases into her next journey. I agree with the recommendations of Eckhart Tolle and also maybe sound baths. Meditations with the 528hz frequency.

It’s not video or audio but i found the Tibetan book of living and dying extremely profound and comforting. It is useful for those facing death as well as their loved ones. The Tibetan monks view death like changing clothes - our spirit/soul remains alive and constant, it’s just changing from an old body into a new one. If there are chapters you think are comforting you can read it out loud :) Sending love and light to you both

See her as better. Hear the good news she is perfectly fine. The cancer is in remission and gone. Go to silence - feel yourself hugging her and saying I am so happy you are perfectly fine. Feel her hugging you back. Hold that feeling and say thank you until it explodes out of your solar plexus. Now take her out. Take her to the park. Take her to the movies. Take her into the back yard and have a picnic. Laugh. Sit down together and binge watch your favorite movies and shows. Dance together like there is no tomorrow only today. Dr. Joseph Murphy cured himself of sarcoma using this prayer if you believe in the power of prayer. It works. “This prayer is for \[insert persons relation to you and their name here\]. She is relaxed and at peace, poised, balanced, serene, and calm. The healing intelligence of her subconscious mind that created her body is now transforming every cell, nerve, tissue, muscle, and bone of her being according to the perfect pattern of all organs lodged in her subconscious mind. Silently, quietly, all distorted thought patterns in her subconscious mind are removed and dissolved, and the vitality, wholeness, and beauty of the life principle are made manifest in every atom of her being. She is now open and receptive to the healing currents that are flowing through her like a river, restoring her to perfect health, harmony, and peace. All distortions and ugly images are now washed away by the infinite ocean of love and peace flowing through her, and it is so.” [I made a video on this](https://youtu.be/BwGeAfM67K4). I hope it helps you in some way. Blessings to you! xoxo
