The founding member and guitarist for the Eagles died a month after he and the group was to be honored at Kennedy Center.

The event was postponed because of Frey’s deteriorating health from multiple conditions.

And now Frey’s death immediately follows the music industry losses of the icon pioneer David Bowie and pop singer Natalie Cole.

The death of a musician is like losing family because music is the soundtrack of our lives.  We know exactly where we were when we first heard a song that resonated with us and can relive any live performances we attended even until this day.

As baby boomers age and they inevitably experience the loss of other seminal artists it is a good time to recognize what we can do when we experience loss.

Live and appreciate life in the present because when we lose those that we love, we will always have happy memories to live on for the rest of our lives.

That’s true of the people dear to us whom we miss and mourn and those that we did not know personally but who made our lives happier because they were in them.
