Fond Memory: Consoling Words from the Irish Tradition

by Íde ní Laoghaire, Mary Webb

For times of sorrow and remembrance, or to be read at funerals. In times of sorrow, grief or loss we often look to our poets and songwriters, to our heritage and tradition for words of comfort, hope and inspiration. We look too for those words that reflect our sense of place, of belonging, words that sum up our deepest feelings about a loved one. Here, for the first time, is a collection specific to the Irish experience. Old and modern -- poetry, prayers, songs, phrases, blessings -- fitting words to express your heartfelt grief and to bring solace and healing.
