From sorrow to hope -

a debut collection of grief poetry. This first published book by the author collects poems written over 14 years, following the winding path from profound loss toward healing and life. The poems delve into the complex emotions that surface - shock, anger, depression, emptiness. They illuminate the ache of absence as he learns to let go and live fully in a new reality. Slowly, rays of comfort pierce the darkness. Remembrance elicits bittersweet smiles amidst his tears. As time passes, raw edges soften.

The poems reflect on love and gratitude for gifts received, though grief often reminds him of who is gone. They speak to the courage required to embrace cherished memories while letting go. This book provides connection for those walking grief's lonely road, showing that even the longest night gives way to dawn. It affirms that while loss changes us, it need not define us. With poignant metaphors and lyrical language, these poems guide the brokenhearted from sorrow toward hope, from loss toward life.
