Till We Meet Again: For you, Mom by Delton Savio DSouza

I have to start this review with a quote from the book that we can all relate to: 'you have changed me permanently' I believe everyone we meet in life changes us, but no-one more so than a parent who's been right there from the start of our life shaping us and such a true line on love and grief, the love that remains in a new shape to adapt to cope with and make peace with. A stand out poem to me was: Time Has Become Unreliable, all about how the days and hours move the same but now feels untrustworthy for anything could suddenly happen and trying to achieve anything can feel hopeless when we all go eventually after being faced with such heavy grief and sudden loss. It flowed like poetic storytelling of real life learning to live with grief, the same but changed forever after the loss of such a beloved person in your life.
