Put the lessons learned in a file marked ‘done’ and give yourself a pat on the back for the things you got right. When you have lost someone you love… Do not make the mistake of living in sadness, or living small to honour their absence. Inspiring words from the Sunday Times bestselling author of I Wish I Knew about thepower of hope to dispel dark days. I used these poems in the mornings when I was looking to kick start the terrible experience of grief. There are poems for loss in all its forms, I have particularly found solace in ‘There will always be loss’, simple words that speak loud and at the right time are always good.Never a day, where you don’t wish you could hear her voice or ask for her advice just one more time. This book brought me immense comfort, highly recommend for anyone dealing with grief and does not know how to navigate through it. Even if you never had one, even if you don’t have any experience of that maternal love, there is a hole inside of you that perhaps, you didn’t even know you had.
