Samenvatting:

On the premise that grief is a foreign country for most of us, the author takes the reader on a journey through the grief process as he attempts to move beyond the unexpected death of his wife just as they entered retirement.His personal thoughts on grief are poignant and powerful and the book is like a portable support group that helps readers realize they are not alone in their grieving.Readers will feel the authors pain and will identify with his humanity.The Epilogue to the book offers fifteen lessons that will help readers on their journey through grief.

The book is also a story of a remarkable love relationship.It has laugh-out-loud humor in the midst of pain.Readers will feel they are in the presence of a friend who really knows what grief is like.

*******

I simply cannot imagine a better portrayal of love between two people, written through pain, in homage to a loved one.If anyone wants to know about love and the feelings associated with its loss, these pages serve as an example.The book is a roadmap of how to honor the love, revisit it in grief and begin sorting out the feelings of loss . . .This is very heartfelt, powerful material.
