A friend of mine has emailed me looking for some poetry recommendations that may help someone coping with bereavement.
Here is my friend's message;-
Can either of you recommend works, either by other poets or yourselves that might help please? I really would appreciate your assistance here folks.Friend of Lugh's wrote: Hi,
An acquaintance's mum has died. I once had an article full of poems
that gave comfort to people when they'd been bereaved but can't find
it now, and don't want to send something that's cliched and shit. Can
anyone recommend anything they've actually found comforting when
someone close has died? (I kind of like the poem 'do not stand by my
grave and weep' but is that too hackneyed??)
Thanks in advance ...
