A cinematic opening that sets the emotional landscape of loss, longing, and the nearness of Heaven.

R8 Intro

A surrender-before-the-storm moment, declaring that even in unimaginable loss, I chose to trust God.
-------------------------------
The foundation of the whole journey.
This is where I said,
“Even if I lose someone I love… I trust You.”
The story starts with surrender before the storm hit.

Trust

The raw, honest goodbye — capturing the moment grief first broke my world open.
----------------------
An honest lament — the shock, the ache, the empty room, the taillights fading.
This is the grief no one can skip.
The moment I realized the world will never be the same.

Goodbye Grace

A grounding anchor in Scripture that reminds me suffering has purpose and glory is coming.

Romans Eight

Ellaina’s voice from Heaven, offering comfort, perspective, and the joy she now sees.
----------
My comfort song.
It reverses the lens:
What would she tell me if she could?
What is she seeing that I can’t yet see?
This begins to lift my head toward eternal hope.

If You Could See

Her message to her friends, blessing their healing and cheering on their restored joy.
----------------
Healing for her circle.
The encouragement that Heaven is not distant — she is cheering them on.
This widens the story from my grief to her impact.

Laugh Again

A bold anthem of resurrection hope that declares Jesus will make all things new.
----------------------
This is my declaration, my anthem.
A worshipful, post-rock declaration: Death doesn’t win, The story is not over, Morning is coming, Christ will make all things new.

This is the “mountaintop hope” moment of the soundtrack.

When Morning Finds Me

R8 Outro

A tender, reverent lament sung to the grieving heart, “But Here We Are” names the shock, sorrow, and sacred weight of loss—while pointing gently to the mercy and nearness of God discovered in the darkest places. It’s a song of shared grief and quiet hope, reminding us that even in the valley we never chose, He meets us there.
