This poignant and accessible collection of poems began as Suzanne Weiss Morgen's personal journey of grieving and mourning her parents. But it became much more as she expanded her thinking to encompass the dynamic odyssey through the myriad of thoughts and emotions that surge forth when a loved one dies-the sadness, fear, anger, crazy madness, relief, and finally the healing. She wants these poems to transcend her personal experience and provide universal support, acknowledgement, understanding, and comfort for anyone faced with a death. Grief is a natural reaction to losing someone you love. It's not about forgetting the person but more about somehow fashioning a new relationship with the loved one lost. The duration, power and intensity, color, and tone of the grief are all unpredictable and unique to each individual. It can often be difficult for the griever to express all they are experiencing. This book is designed to put some of those feelings into words: to help clarify, validate, and provide solace and assurance that you are not alone. It's important to allow yourself space and permission to process your pain and heartache-to be empathetic and offer compassion to yourself as well as to allow others to do the same for you. Take a deep breath and be tender as you grieve. And don't hesitate to embark on the journey through memories, experiences, stories, feelings, and anything and everything that brings you comfort and consolation. There is hope beyond the bewilderment of bereavement eventually leading to a new found peace.
