Music as a tool to heal . . .
Personalized songs can have a profound impact on children with cancer, promoting feelings of comfort, hope and empowerment. The process of creating a personalized song involves the child sharing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, which can be therapeutic in itself. The end result is a unique and uplifting piece of music that can help the child feel heard and validated. When the child listens to the song, they can be transported to a place of peace and positivity, providing a much-needed respite from the stress and uncertainty of their cancer journey. Additionally, music has been shown to have a physical impact on the body, reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation, which can aid in the healing process. In short, personalized songs offer a simple yet powerful way for children with cancer to feel seen, heard and supported.
