"How Can I Help You Say Goodbye" might work. It's debatable, 'cause I don't think it really fits the circumstances, but when I didn't see it on any of the playlists Rob's most recent post offered, I thought I should mention it anyway. The attempt to give comfort appealed to me despite the overall heartbreaking nature of the song. I envisioned Doug hugging Myrtle as she gently fades out of existence ... and when she's gone, he wipes tears from his face and goes to do a bit of therapeutic bad-guy-stomping. It's likely a very bad day to be a Death Eater....

Through the back window of our '59 wagon
I watched my best friend Jamie slipping further away
I kept on waving till I couldn't see her
And through my tears I asked again why we couldn't stay
Mama whispered softly time will ease your pain
Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same
And she said how can I help you to say goodbye it's okay to hurt and it's okay to cry
Come let me hold you and I will try how can I help you to say goodbye
I sat on our bed he packed his suitcase I held a picture of our wedding day
His hands were trembling we both were crying
He kissed me gently and then he quickly walked away
I called up mama and she said time will ease your pain
Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same
She said how can I help you to say goodbye it's okay to hurt and it's okay to cry
Come let me hold you and I will try how can I help you to say goodbye
Sitting with mama alone in her bedroom
She opened her eyes and then squeezed my hand
She said I have to go now my time here is over
And with her final words she tried to help me understand
Mama whispered softly time will ease your pain
Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same
And she said how can I help you to say goodbye it's okay to hurt and it's okay to cry
Come let me hold you and I will try how can I help you to say goodbye
