Poems written in the aftermath of losing loved ones, from ’The First Day’ to reflections surfacing years later. We all experience loss in some form during our lifetimes, and those we hold close always leave the biggest mark, whenever their time comes to leave. These words act as the marks left by my grandparents in my own life. I hope they offer some comfort in a chance to come together and connect via the grief and devastation that we all must bear. Thank you for being here.
