Lesson 1
“SO REAL”
The beginning of any grief journey begins with shock and numbness. I remember how unbearable it was to wake up and face a new reality after my son died. My song “So Real” is about dreading to wake up and wishing dreams were real. The lyric ending of “How I wish you were real,” expressed my aching desire to go back to the life I had before he died. Expressing my grief and finding other people who understood my pain helped me throughout my journey. Since I want my course to be comforting, I will reinforce hope of healing through my personal experiences.

lyrics

SO REAL

This morning when I woke up it slipped my mind
You are not here with me anymore
I smiled when I thought of your gentle, warm laughter
And dreamt of my next carefree moment with you

It all seemed so real; it all seemed so real
Until I remembered, I thought it was real
Here I could feel; here I could feel
Until I remembered, your absence was real

This morning when I woke up it slipped my mind
You are not here with me anymore
There were so many things I wanted to tell you
I thought it could wait; there was plenty of time, ‘cause

It all seemed so real; it all seemed so real
Until I remembered, I thought it was real
Here I could feel; here I could feel
Until I remembered, your absence was real

This morning when I woke up I felt you close by
I still heard your voice and my heart felt so full
Then I recalled all the things that had happened
The moment was gone dreaming you might be there

I opened my eyes; the anguish overwhelmed me
I closed them again and I pictured your soul soaring free

It all seemed so real; it all seemed so real
I know it’s because, I just wished it were real
All I could feel, all I could feel was my pain
Oh, how I wish you were real

Judy Unger Los Angeles, California

I have been an artist all of her life. Although I played classical guitar in college, I left music behind when I was 21. 30 years later, I began writing songs to help me cope with the challenges in my life. Many of my songs are dedicated to my son, Jason, who died in 1992. I love to inspire hope of healing with my music, because my songs have certainly healed me of any pain. ... more
