Product Information

Short funeral poem by Margaret Mead, ideal for a eulogy. The words are a message of remembrance and love in times of grief. It’s as if she’s got a hotline to your head. She gets inside your mind, rummages round all those piles of messy-feely thoughts, even the ones in the darkest corners, then heads for your heart.

A poem by Donna Ashworth – The Good Grief Trust A poem by Donna Ashworth – The Good Grief Trust

A short religious funeral poem, ideal for a eulogy or memorial poem. A poem about loved ones finding peace with God in Heaven. Popular funeral poem based on a short verse by David Harkins. An uplifting poem about being grateful for a loved one’s life. Your instinct for knowing what (and who) is worth your time, will grow and flourish like ivy on a castle wall. Today I’m reviewing a poetry collection by Donna Ashworth. Three books Love, Life and Loss. I’ve been dipping in and out of these for the last week and I have to say I’ve loved them all. Love is full of words to remind us of the love in our lives, where it can be found, that it is powerful and so so important. Life covers just that, beginnings, endings, age, all sorts really and it’s been wonderful to sit at the end of the day and read one of these, they bring a sense of peace on the hamster wheel that is Life. Loss was a harder read for me and I have not yet read all of this collection. There are poems for loss in all its forms, I have particularly found solace in ‘There will always be loss’, simple words that speak loud and at the right time are always good.
