"The milkman cried when I told him you were dead.
''Last night,'' I said, ''Mark died.''"
This collection brings together 30 short stories and poems about dying and bereavement. Written by mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, wives, husbands and dying people, these moving pieces talk honestly about how it feels to care for someone who is dying, to grieve for a loved one, and to face death oneself.
A candid story about a daughter''s relationship with her mother''s carer; an internal monologue on dementia; a deeply moving poem about losing a son to cot death; and a heartfelt story about a mother''s end of life are some of the poignant pieces included. This collection provides an opportunity to think and talk about death and dying, too often a taboo subject, and offers readers the rare comfort and support of shared experience.
