Grief does not end. It changes.

It softens, reshapes, lingers, and transforms — but it never disappears.

In this intimate collection of poems, Alina Thorne gives voice to the journey of love carried through loss: from the quiet beauty of memory, through the shattering of absence, into the long middle where grief and life must coexist, and finally toward what remains — love enduring beyond endings.

These poems speak to the tender spaces every mourner knows: the empty chair, the echo of laughter, the presence felt in silence. They are at once raw and gentle, private and universal — an invitation to those who grieve to find their own reflection, their own breath of hope, in these pages.

Whether you have lost a child, a partner, a parent, or anyone beloved, this book offers no easy answers — only companionship, honesty, and a reminder:

what remains is love, and love endures every tomorrow.
