The book description says: “Loss knows no singular form. Grief does not follow a predictable path. Heartache stalks those who dare to lose, but there is no pain so novel it has not been felt by another. There are no burdens that can’t find helping hands. Many have trodden the path of despair, clearing the way for those to come.”

Maimilian Sam commented: “Grief will affect us all, whether it’s the short-lived goldfish won at the local fair, our stray animals, or friends and family. None of us can avoid it.

“Writing about our experiences is healing. It even led to my first book, It’s A Stray Dog’s Life, which started as a tribute to one of my dogs. To be included in an international anthology is an honour. If the stories and poems bring help to others, then everyone in this anthology has done their job.”

Grief Like Yours is available in paperback from all good bookshops. It is available exclusively from Amazon in electronic format.
