Love: Poems to bolster every heart that ever beat

Product Information

Seeing Jane McDonald on the beach, relaxing with my book, on her Caribbean travel show recently, was a thrill and I’m delighted to count Lisa Snowdon as an ally in our fight to make ageing a joy, and not a dread. To My Babies, Whatever choices you make in this life, wherever you go, whomever who you choose to share it with…I want you to keep coming home. Some are not necessarily poetry as I would imagine it so much but still resonated and felt they belonged in this collection. It is soothing, human and compassionate, and yet somehow aids that progression through the darker days of grief.

As I have said before when I have reviewed these types of books, I wouldn't say I am a great lover of poetry, in fact I am much nearer the opposite side of the scale. FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF I WISH I KNEW A book for the passionate and warm-hearted among us, Love explores every type of affection and helps us to nurture our most precious connections. When you have lost someone you love Do not make the mistake of living in sadness, or living small to honour their absence. Donna does this beautifully and leads us to a peace where grief and love coexist and perhaps describe the other. I would simply love to be the go-to wordsmith for anyone who needs some comfort or inspiration, on any subject.

But I think I’d have to say seeing my name in Fearne Cotton’s latest book, as a source of inspiration to her, was the pinch-me moment. And yet I am still thinking about you pretty much all the time, which is strange because I didn’t know you at all, in real life.

I Wish I Knew Funeral Poem - Funeral Guide

Share the love you felt for that person with all the other special people in your life, for it is limitless. Perhaps because I’m a mom and also a daughter, some poems really spoke to me more than others and made me very emotional in ways no poems ever did. That this will not go on forever, that very very soon, their life will begin again and it will begin in glorious technicolour.I recommend this collection to anyone who would like to read something that inspires a few minutes of quiet contemplation. Honestly, i was reading this book and didn't realise how much i needed the words that was on the pages! You cannot be everyone's cup of tea, but you can be someone's first sip of a cold drink on a sunny day. Rupi Kaur is insanely talented at saying so much in such a short space and Amanda Gorman is a true powerhouse. I recommend this book to anyone who is confused about their grief, who struggles and wonders how long it will hurt.
