      Strength Is Forever - Nadine Dunseith

      Prologue

For several months, I was not sure what to write or whether I would have the words to express pain and grief. Sometimes, the right words do not come until you are ready to face them – and that’s when I discovered that my one vehicle of expression is poetry.
