Mike Bernhardt is a writer and poet based in California who wrote poetry to deal with the death of his first wife almost thirty years ago.
The term 'grief' has been given a whole new meaning over the last year because not only have we lost loved ones to this horrible disease, but we have also had to grieve for a way of life that for the time being, we are no longer able to live.
Mike opens up about how coping with his grief using this creative outlet helped him to process and overcome many difficult emotions.
"Voices of the Grieving Heart", a book filled with poetry and artwork from contributors all around the work and put together by Mike himself, has been re-released this month, to help people deal with the grief that surrounds the COVID-19 pandemic.
