The subject of loss and grief can be a complex one and often difficult to talk about whatever the age, but my hope is that the words and illustrations will give some expression to feelings and thoughts to help both young and old connect with a simple message through loss and hope. The content for this book comes from my own experience of grief. Our 29 year son Andy was murdered while living in Perth in 2011, and the trauma of that event has altered our lives forever. There are never adequate words to gauge the depth of feeling and pain. However, the seed idea for this book and title ‘The hole in my Heart’ comes from attending the funeral of a friend and witnessing the young people and children present struggle to find words to express their feelings.
