But when his partner the Reverend David Coles died, shortly before Christmas in 2019, much about death took Coles by surprise. For one thing, David's death at the early age of forty-three was unexpected. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe man that so often assists others to examine life's moral questions now found himself in need of help. He began to look to others for guidance to steer him through his grief. The flock was leading the shepherd. Much about grief surprised him: the volume of 'sadmin' you have to do when someone dies, how much harder it is travelling for work alone, even the pain of typing a text message to your partner - then realising you are alone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Reverend Richard Coles's deeply personal account of life after grief will resonate, unforgettably, with anyone who has lost a loved one.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Reverend Richard Coles is the presenter of SATURDAY LIVE\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eon BBC Radio 4.
