About My Five Stages of Grief

My Five Stages of Grief by Darren Heart My Five Stages of Grief by Darren Heart is an emotional chronicle of the author's ten year journey to recovery and healing from the extreme grief and overwhelming sense of loss caused by the tragic deaths of both his long term partner, and shortly afterwards, his step son.


The Prologue for this book summarizes the author's moving love story up until the moment tragedy strikes at the heart of his family.


The main body of the book is represented by five chapters dedicated to the five stages of grief, namely; Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. Each chapter is broken down to include a brief clinical definition for a particular stage, followed by the author's own observations and experiences, closing with a number of poems written by the author, intended to reflect upon the various emotions and thoughts experienced during that particular stage of the grieving process.


My Five Stages of Grief concludes with an Epilogue where the author describes life "post-acceptance", and offers words of hope, inspiration and encouragement to those who may be wading through the grief and mourning process, and feeling misunderstood or isolated.


Containing emotional, thought provoking, and inspirational poems related to the various five stages of grief, capturing the author's raw thoughts and emotions associated with each stage. For those who have suffered the loss of a loved one, this book explores a mourner's need to acknowledge death and embrace the pain of loss and bereavement. Also explored are the many facets that make each individual's grief unique, and the many normal thoughts and feelings that someone currently grieving may have.


At one time or another, we will all find ourselves facing a dark journey through the grieving process. My Five Stages of Grief is written to provide support and comfort for a person who is in the wake of despair following the loss of a loved one. This powerful book will help support readers throughout their five stages of grief by sharing a number of relate-able biographic experiences, breaking down the walls of isolation that can leave a mourner feeling utterly alone, in preparation for the end of the journey, peace.

Forgotten Moments

Forgotten Moments My worst fear was to forget you, That your memory would fade, Slowly eroding thoughts of our love, As leaves falling from a tree, Diluted by the ticking of time. Would I recollect our sweet moments, Recall the precious love we shared, Could I call to mind your sweet smile, Reminisce your gentle touch, With a trip down... Read More »

So I'm Told

So I'm Told I'm told things will get better, By those that can not relate. Say it's time that I move on, Now that one I really hate. Tell me that time's a healer, Soon I'll be rid of this pain. To put this all behind me, And should look to live again. It all seems kind of silly, The... Read More »

Checking In

Checking In Dear love, I'm just checking in, It has been too long, I know. Many times I've tried to write, But the words just failed to flow.
