I've experienced several really hard losses this past few years and I was stunned at how well these poems address grief and sadness and healing. There's no timetable for grief - it can be raw and immediate or hit you years later out of the blue. These poems can help in healing and knowing your grief is not only your experience but someone everyone feels at one time or another. Some of the poems will feel deeply personal, others not as much - but they'll all have a soothing calmness that will help dry the tears.
