Grieve with Ease

Mike talks about how writing poetry helped him through the loss of his first wife. 

In this episode of the podcast, Mike reads his poem for us and we talk about ‘Voices of the Grieving Heart’ a collection of poetry from people who have experienced the loss of a loved one. 

“Every time I read one of these poems or talk to someone about the poems it just, it opens my heart, breaks it a little bit and keeps it open. And I think that’s what it takes. The big breaks are going to happen, but I think it’s the little ones that keep us capable of a living and feeling and having a richer life.”    Mike Bernhardt

There are people who understand what they’re going through and gives them a blueprint of what to expect.”       Jan Canty
