Coleen Nolan singer, TV host and agony aunt is known for her warmth, straight-talking and compassion. But her empathy and warmth have been earned the hard way formed by her own deeply-felt experiences of loss and grief.
Inspired by her own life, and her podcast on grief, Coleen takes readers on a heartfelt and helpful journey through how to cope with all kinds of grief, drawing not just on her own thoughts and feelings, but on those of friends and celebrities shes interviewed, who share their personal takes on loss and life after it. By turns moving, courageous and inspiring, each chapter also features a poem to make you smile, think or shed a tear.
Written with accessibility, heart and fellow-feeling, this is not a guidebook but a companion, a friendly word in the darkest times, packed with advice, understanding and hope a book to say youre not alone.
