The Playlists & Music Hub

Music can soothe, connect, and communicate when words fall short. Creating intentional playlists for yourself or a loved one is a powerful way to bring comfort, share memories, and express personality during life’s final chapter.

• Music can offer emotional and physical relief at the end of life: Familiar songs may reduce anxiety, ease pain, lower heart rate, and create a calming atmosphere for both the person and their caregivers.
• Playlists can support caregiving routines: Music can help signal transitions like waking, resting, mealtime, or quiet time, making daily care feel more structured and peaceful.
• Legacy playlists tell a story: Sharing your favorite songs, meaningful lyrics, or the soundtrack to your life helps others remember who you are and what moved you—emotionally and musically.
• Music is a bridge for memory and connection: For people with dementia or cognitive decline, music often unlocks emotions and recognition even when other forms of communication are limited.
• You don’t need a streaming service to participate: A handwritten list of songs, a burned CD, or a voice recording with a few personal messages can be just as powerful as a digital playlist.
• It’s okay to mix genres and moods: A playlist can include spiritual hymns, pop songs, childhood favorites, or even humorous tracks that reflect the person’s spirit and identity.
• Music can be part of rituals, vigils, and memorials: Whether played quietly during a bedside vigil or shared at a celebration of life, music adds meaning and helps people feel emotionally connected.
• Creating a playlist together can be a bonding experience: Asking someone about the music that shaped their life can spark beautiful conversations, storytelling, and reflection.
• There’s no wrong way to do it: Whether it’s one song or a hundred, the goal is to create something that brings comfort, joy, and presence in a deeply human way.
