My husband passed 13 years ago next Friday. Within the first year of loss I wrote around 15 what I called ‘grief’ poems, some of which were used in the Hope bereavement course for others, and some were published within a small book with similar poems. Very recently I lost my beautiful daughter, the worst pain ever. At her funeral I had chosen one of the poems ‘I’ll find you’ which was read out. Any creative writing can be therapeutic during traumatic times, our deepest emotions, sadness grief and pain included, are expressed. I have read some wonderful poems here. When it is not quite so raw I will write poems for and about my darling girl too.
