Dear friend,
Someone you love has died. And, like countless others who have walked the path of grief before you, you are discovering that a death can rob you of so much more than a person you love. It robs you of your energy, your hope, and sometimes just of the simple will to get up in the morning.
My name is Lucie Storrs and I know what it's like, because I too have grieved the loss of a loved one. And not only must you cope with your grief, but with the endless 'business' details of their death as well - as if the loss itself isn't enough to deal with! Often you can find yourself near breaking point.
One of the things you often struggle with after a loss is finding the perfect words to express your feelings. Whether you are writing a eulogy, planning a funeral or memorial service, finding ways to say how sorry you are in a sympathy card, creating an obituary, attempting to console yourself and others or just trying to make sense of it all, the right words have a wonderful ability to soothe the soul.
And it's hard to find those words when your eyes are blurred with tears...
I know, because I have been there too. This is why I decided to create the ultimate collection of sympathy poems, quotations and readings for funerals, memorial services, eulogies and inner peace. And I wanted it to be instantly available, reducing stress and allowing you to deal with everything else you need to do at this sad time - and an ebook was the perfect solution. The result?
Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep
a unique collection of over 250 of the world's best sympathy poems,
quotations and readings, all together in one easy-to-use ebook

What just some of our customers are saying...
"This book is at least as good as - if not better than - anything you can buy in the shops.
The range of poems is superb and the attention to detail impressive." Will Furnell
"You have done a remarkable job - a wonderful selection of poetry, clearly presented.
You truly are providing an exceptional service for the bereaved; and I don't know if it's just me,
but love and kindness, care and compassion, seem to suffuse everything you do in relation to
this project. Here's wishing you ongoing success; it's thoroughly deserved." David Smith
