The Last Chorus

When the last chorus ends it's time to sing a new songGrief: To feel deep, acute sorrow or distressTime is a great healer they say, whoever the hell they are.

Time hasn't done me any favours though.

Despite my fame, wealth, Rockstar status I lost it all; my everything. My wife and son are gone leaving me lost in a dark grief that has swallowed me whole.

My family and friends think it's time I moved on, started to get out of bed and live my life again. I think they need to keep their opinions to themselves.

I'm Beau Bradley lead singer of Warrior Creek and I'll decide when I'm ready for life again.

Fear: an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of dangerTake deep breaths and appreciate my courage is how to face my fear, they say.

Whoever wrote that has no idea how scary facing my fear is.

As a single mum of a gorgeous, five-year-old boy who doesn't speak means life can be suffocatingly quiet. Silence follows me everywhere I go. Sometimes it would be nice to have someone to share it all with, to laugh and talk with but I can't let anyone in.I'm Simone Addison and I don't let anyone close.

Can two strangers sing the final chorus of their past and help each other find a new song to sing? Or will the misery of their mistakes snatch away their chance of happiness before it's even begun?
