I am a teenager and I had recently lost my pet dog. His name was Jam. I loved him so much that his death has affected my health badly. I don’t feel like studying or doing any kind of work. I have stopped going to college. Now I am even planning to drop a year because I can’t concentrate on my studies and it would take me time to recover from this trauma. I don’t eat properly and have not slept for days. Since I don’t have any sibling, my pet was everything to me. He meant a lot. I played with him, took him out for walks and even did crazy things like listening to songs. I shared my thoughts with him too. So, I am hardly able to forget him.

One day my friend came to my house to stay with me. She tried to comfort me and when her words failed to do so, she tuned into some music. This was the first time; I was introduced to soul songs. Later on, I found out a site named http://www.raresoulgrooves.com/artists that dealt with selling soul CDs. I bought some for myself. They diverted my mind and helped me come out of my pain.
