In the last year and a half I lost my Nanny and my older brother was diagnosed with Dementia at 33. It's been tough and the grieving process is complicated because we are grieving someone who is still alive, while knowing we will have to grieve him again.
So I bought Donna Ashworth's collection of books to help me grieve, cope and heal. The poems are beautifully written and the book is very well put together. The poems deal with different types of losses using words that are embedded in compassion and healing.
The poetry really resonated with me in light of personal losses and my brother becoming ill. They words are poignant at times and are helping me to release and deal with emotions I have been largely avoiding, while also validating those feelings. I worry that the grief will never go away but I thank Donna for giving me (and everyone else who has experienced loss) permission to feel it while encouraging healing from these painful scars. I know I will be returning to this book regularly over the next few months/years.
