About the Book
Coming & Going and Waiting is about Death, Life and Grief. Most of the poems in this collection are written in a universal style, inviting the reader to relive his own painful experiences with death, surrender to grief, and move past the pain to embrace life again.
When someone you love dies, grief takes up permanent residence in your soul. The pain never goes away. The only question is how you will cope with this sorrow-Coming & Going and Waiting is a journey through this darkness. Not only do the poems walk you through the stages of grief, they also celebrate life and honor those we have loved & lost and will someday see again.
If someone you know has lost a loved one, this poetry collection would make a thoughtful gift. Unlike flowers or a sympathy card, these poems can be there on days when the survivor needs to give into the pain and express his anguish-and many times this period of mourning occurs months, even years, after the loved one has died.
"If my poetry makes you cry, then I have succeeded in my purpose. The only way to heal from grief is to grieve."-Heather Gross
