Love lost

About the Book

With a bittersweet mix of poetry and prose, Robert J. Lavery shares how he faced the darkness of sorrow and emerged into the light once more.

After facing the death of his son and losing his wife of thirty-two years to breast cancer, Lavery struggled to deal with overwhelming grief. He sought solace in poetry, letting the words speak for the deep hurt in his soul. Yet in the midst of the darkness, Lavery saw hope and drew on its strength to see him through the difficult times.

Love lost, Love found stands as a moving testament to the power and courage of the human spirit in the throes of pain and anguish.

About the Author

Robert J. Lavery was married to his wife, Linda, for thirty-two years. He now lives in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Your poems are moving, and I wish I were not so over-committed. With regret, I have to say no, but I do think you will find a good publisher for these poems. They will be important to anyone (and that’s everyone) dealing with loss and finding (or hoping to find) a new start, new love, no reason for being. Best wishes, Rennie Robert Rennie McQuilkin Antrim House
