Within days of Caron's death letters started to arrive. People who had lost their children felt compelled to write. Strangers understood what she was going through often more than the family and friends standing next to her. There were many, many dark days but the letters kept coming and somehow she managed to do the impossible. Wake up everyday, get out of bed, breath. The black hole is still there, sometimes as big as ever, but she has found a way to live with it, around it. This is the story of how Gloria and her family survived Caron's death, but it is not only her story. It is written for those who held her while she raged. It is written for all those people who helped her through that first terrible year by writing, but mostly it is written for the many thousands who didnt.Grief is lonely, but as this book shows, you are not alone. Death affects us all at some point. Gloria will never again be the carefree woman she once was, the loss of a loved one is always with you, but so are the living This is how she found her way back to them.

  Gloria Hunniford's book about the illness and death of her daughter Caron NEXT TO YOU touched the hearts of the nation and sold more than 650,000 copies. The reader response to the book was also huge. So many wanted to share their own experiences with Gloria and to know more about how she was coping in her bereavement. Overwhelmed by the response and the need, she has now written its sequel beginning exactly where the last book ends -- on the day Caron dies. Describing the journey she has been on, ALWAYS WITH YOU is the most honest, insightful and as a result genuinely helpful personal account of grief yet to be written. Included along the way are the letters and poems that have meant most to Gloria and which she hopes will help others. As many of us face the prospect of losing a loved one -- now or at some point in the near future -- Gloria's book will give us a poignant personal insight into the journey that lies ahead and how best to cope when you lose someone you love.
