Grief Poetry

Following the sudden loss of her mother, poet K.B. Marie explores the meaning of life and love after great loss. Nature and zen themes featured throughout.

To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. In recent years non-religious funerals have become more common, but without an established canon of texts to fall back on, it can be difficult to plan an appropriate service for a loved one who had no religious belief or connections. Texts recommended by secular humanists, especially modern texts, can sometimes sound trite or overly informal.

A thought-provoking collection of poetry and thoughts as seen through the eyes of the author's own depression.
