Life, Love and Loss is a collection of three sets of poetry by Donna Ashworth dealing with exactly what each of these books are called.

Lose Someone Once, by Donna Ashworth You Don’t Just Lose Someone Once, by Donna Ashworth

After the bestselling I Wish I Knew, Donna Ashworth has now produced an extraordinary three-volume collection of poems that will touch and inspire every reader in the ups and downs we all face in love, in life and in loss. These brilliantly accessible poems bring delight, comfort and strength in the height of romance, the darkness of grief and the endlessly unpredictable moments in between. This poem by Rabindranath Tagore is a reflection on the narrator’s contentment with his life and gratitude to his or her friends for their companionship and support. The poem ends with a hope that they will live on after death in the memory of these friends. All-encompassing, honest and relatable, Life, Love and Loss will resonate with anyone who has experienced the joy and heartbreak that travel alongside being a parent, child, partner or friend. These poems give us the insight to grow, turning the compassion we have for others towards ourselves and teaching us to create memories full of peace, laughter and fearlessness in this magnificent and challenging journey we call life.

Many thanks to Netgalley, Bonnier UK Audio, and the author, for the ALC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Loss - This book is for everyone, because no matter how much we are prepared for loss, we are not. Loss is always sudden, even when expected. It seeps in with time, showing up unannounced at sight or feeling of something we relate to the lost ones. This collection is about dealing with those feelings, dealing with the trauma of loss, accepting the status of loss, healing the wounds, the scars and scabs left by loss. Ashworth’s poems are all very accessible to people who usually don’t read poems. Lovely and emotional are the words I would use to describe her poems. Her poems inspires us to love, forgive others and ourselves. She reminds us that we are strong and can learn and make positive changes.Popular funeral poem based on a short verse by David Harkins. An uplifting poem about being grateful for a loved one’s life.
