Donna Ashworth

Losing someone casts us adrift in a lonely sea of grief, one that can be hard to navigate and is frequently overwhelming. Donna's wise words help us feel less alone on even the hardest of days, and bring comfort, hope and understanding. She also gently reminds us that love and grief are two sides of the same coin, and that great grief is born only of great love. Fully revised and expanded, this new edition of Loss brings together all of Donna Ashworth's poems for the bereaved from across her bestselling collections as well as a selection of previously unpublished poems.

Written with love and understanding, Donna - who is also the bestselling author of I Wish I Knew - reminds us that amidst our daily struggles and constant outpourings of bad news we have so much to hope for, and that every one of us can play a part, big or small, in making the world a better place. With poems such as 'Surrounded by Treasure', 'That Thing You Do', 'Through the Wringer' and 'Rope Ladder', Donna helps us to remember that most people in this world are good, and that acts of kindness and love within our individual spheres of influence, however small, all contribute to a better future.
