If you have known great love, great loss, the agony of grief, or even the experience of your own mortality, this collection of poems offers a shared pathway to walk with a kindred soul. Often raw and always deeply authentic, each poem travels the terrain of bereavement from shock and anger, to the loss of self, to despair, to healing and transformation, and ultimately to the depths of love. The author shares her experiences with the deaths and griefs of her life's beloveds including her Mother, her Father, and her beloved dog children. All shadows, all pain and suffering, but also all gratitude and all love are explored in the language of beauty.
