After You
Poems on grief, bereavement, love, loss, and finding hope again.
When Ian Singleton's wife died unexpectedly, his life was shattered. In the raw days, weeks, and months that followed, he turned to writing-transforming overwhelming heartbreak into poetry that speaks directly to anyone who has lost someone they love.
After You is a deeply personal anthology of grief poems written during the first year after the death of a spouse. Each poem is dated, creating a powerful timeline of emotions: the shock of sudden loss, the emptiness of a home without your partner, the bittersweet comfort of memories, and the slow, fragile steps toward healing.
This collection explores:
The loneliness after losing a husband, wife, or life partner
The pain and beauty of love that death cannot erase
The daily challenges of widowhood and moving forward
The glimmers of hope that grow even in deep sorrow
If you are searching for poetry about grief, loss of a spouse, or healing after bereavement, After You will speak to your heart. These poems are for anyone navigating the journey of mourning-whether for a partner, family member, or close friend-and looking for words that understand, comfort, and connect.
After You is a companion through the hardest days, and a reminder that even in grief, you are not alone.
