Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
This book of poetry was written during the final eighteen months of my husband's life, after we had received his terminal diagnosis. The poems are free verse, written as a way for me to externalise my thoughts and emotions when I needed to, in order to allow me to try and understand and work through them. The book also includes a brief account of our experiences for context, and QR codes leading to a curated playlist of music and the donation page for MacMillan, whose support was invaluable.
