The inevitable is understood by each and every one of us who faces the final calling. So too are the effects on those left behind. The memories are there but the empty space, the void can never be refilled. It remains a dark, unreliable pit of loneliness. The sadness and often depression, the lack of will to continue may swamp us all. Unquenchable, undeniable. But loss can, after mourning, give the opportunity to reappraise the lost and how we can each move forward. In the literary world an accessible balance can be given.

In this volume Anton Chekhov, H. P. Lovecraft, James Joyce, D. H. Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield and many, many others bring their pens to bear on this most heartfelt of subjects.
