In a matter of seconds my entire world changed, and it was in that moment that I stopped living and simply began to exist. In my grief, I sent a letter to the first boy I ever loved. I hoped in writing it I would find some peace from the nightmare I was living, some solace in my anger. I did not expect him to write back. I was not prepared for his words, and I certianly was not ready for the impact this soldier would have on my life. A deep rooted hate transformed into friendship, and then molded into a love like I had never known before. Sergeant Devin Ulysses Clay did what I could not - he put the shattered pieces of my heart back together, restoring my faith in humanity and teaching me how to live again.

The bestselling poet Malcolm Guite chooses forty poems from across the centuries that express the universal experience of loss and reflects on them in order to draw out the comfort, understanding and hope they offer. Some of the poems will be familiar, many will be new, but together they provide a sure companion for the journey across difficult terrain. Some of Malcolm’s own poetry is included, written out of his work as a priest with the dying and the bereaved and giving to the volume a powerful authenticity. The choice of forty poems is significant and reflects an ancient practice still observed in some European and Middle Eastern societies of taking extra-special care of a bereaved person in the forty days following a death – our word quarantine come from this. They explore the nature and the risk of love, the pain of letting go and look toward glimpses of resurrection.
