that stir up the brightest memories.
The colour of the top worn for the funeral,
the sound of matches rattling in a coat pocket,
eating sausages and chips for Christmas dinner.
These are the fragments of lost glitter.

This is compelling reading for anyone dealing with grief or wanting to help someone who is going t
