Fell so hard, to make us lose our faith
From what's left you'd figure it out
Still make lemonade taste like a sunny day
foxy and crafty!

Well... like he said, but by a different artist...

"Walk Away" - Kelly Clarkson

Its not exactly... *ahem*... healing, but it's more like a "I can live without you" song  Smiley Maybe it's not appropriate for the situation... but I tried

I'm a sucker for sad music and I have a playlist called "beauty amidst sorrow" which most of these are on, but I've tried to keep it on the "build self-empowerment/esteem," "seek out your friends," and "value your alone time and Self" themes. Yet, there has to be some strand of sadness to strike a resonant chord (no pun intended) with your friend's current reality. Acknowledging the significance of the loss, and moving forward from it.
Browsing thru 7 gigs of my musical mayhem, here are some things that stand out...

"I Am the Highway" - Audioslave
"Haunted" - Poe
"Good Enough" -- Sarah McLachlan
"One" - U2
"Yes I Will" - Michael Franti
"Soulshine" -- Michael Franti and Spearhead
"Love and Hope" -- Ozomatli
"Maybe" -- Allison Krauss (painful and bittersweet but hopeful, and its a free download on amazon.com)
"You've Got a Friend" -- Carole King or James Taylor
"God Put a Smile On Your Face" -- Coldplay
"Float On" -- Modest Mouse
"Beautiful Day" -- U2
"Isobel" -- Bjork
"Least Complicated" -- Indigo Girls
"Don't Look Back in Anger" -- Oasis
"It's Alright" - Indigo Girls
"Blue Flower" -- Mazzy Star
"Free" -- Donovan Frankenreiter and Jack Johnson
"My Favorite Mistake" -- Sheryl Crow
"Anything But Down" -- Sheryl Crow
"My Lovin' (Never Gonna Get It!) -- En Vogue
"Promiscuity" -- Manu Chao
"Otha Fish" -- Pharcyde

-'you were meant for me' (jewel)--it's not exactly healing, but at least you think 'someone passed through it before me (and managed to make a nice song out of the whole experience)'!
-'got to get you off my mind' (solomon burke) THIS is one nice  feelgood song about healing after a breakup, and the melody is just cheery Smiley
-'everybody hurts' (ReM)..a bit obvioius, and maybe TOO sad?i don't know..
-'big yellow taxi' in the counting crowes version..it's a 'happy' song but it's about breaking up....
 ::)i can't think of no more right now!

I second "Don't Look Back in Anger" by Oasis. It's a beautiful song... and I coincidentally was obessed with them a few years ago. I still like 'em.

But I don't think I can so anything useful for you, other than saying it's a great idea.

I'm definitely getting a bunch of these songs and just having a really good cry this year.

Anyways, my addition is "Frozen" - Madonna. One of my favorite songs and it's helped me before.
