"Do I never want to sleep
Or is it, never wake?
After all that's said and done,
What difference does it make?"
In this heartfelt collection, Claire Diana Hallpike-Selby takes us through honest and raw poems, she paints a picture of confusion, fear, and the silent battles we face when someone we love slips into darkness. With over 25 years of experience as an educational writer and award-winning author of songs, stories, and poems, her words strike a deep chord. The poems are real, unvarnished, and full of heart, inviting readers to connect with the feelings of loss, heartbreak, and the search for understanding. Where Madness Shadows Fall doesn't offer easy answers - it simply shows the truth of what it feels like to love and lose, and how poetry can help make sense of it all.
