Drawn from the works of poets, writers, philosophers and sacred literature, from John Donne to Victor Hugo, Charlotte Bronte to Emily Dickinson, this inspirational anthology celebrates lives that have ended and offers consolation to those left behind.

Featuring many much loved passages, such as Auden's `Stop all the Clocks', Price Hughes' `If I should die' and `To everything there is a season' from the Book of Ecclesiastes, these specially selected words will comfort and console, encourage and support, through the days of despair to a future hope.
