Heartbreak and Hope is a raw and deeply honest poetry collection for those who love someone lost to addiction. It’s for the ones living in the space between heartbreak and hope. These poems don’t try to fix the pain; they sit with you in it. They give voice to the ache of watching someone you love slowly slip further and further away. Heartbreak and Hope is a hand to hold, a mirror for your pain, and a reminder that you are not alone. “ There are two of you. The one I love, and the one addiction owns. Every time I see you, I don’t know which one will answer. ” “ I can want it for you. I can beg, plead, and pray for you, but I cannot choose it for you and that is the hell of it. ” "It is a different kind of missing to ache for someone who is both here and gone, present and absent, living and lost."
