Description
After the sudden death of her husband, a poet, mother, and wife confronts the devastating absence left behind while reflecting on the rich life they shared. With lyrical, lucid prose, she explores grief, memory, marriage, motherhood, and the difficult search for meaning in the aftermath of loss. Her devotion to her two teenage sons becomes both an anchor and a source of renewed purpose as she considers identity, resilience, gratitude, and the power of language to preserve what matters. Intimate yet universal, this moving memoir speaks to anyone who has loved deeply and faced the challenge of carrying on.
