When my husband died ten years ago after a three week diagnosis, I was left in shock and deep grief.<\/p>\n

I spent each afternoon, wandering around my garden wondering how and why this had happened?
I was alone, and quite frankly in bits.<\/p>\n

These books helped me understand and piece me back together again. I had no idea about the five stages of grief.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I felt totally alone, whilst the world around me carried on as normal.<\/p>\n

There is not only grief, but having been a care giver, my days were empty.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I totally lost sight of who I was.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My grief was compounded, as I could sense his Spirit around me. I found comfort by immersing myself in books which were the only thing that seemed to make sense.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Within the fullness of time, I learnt to come to terms with widowhood. I learnt that there was no set time frame .<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well meaning people avoided talking about Kim. They didn\u2019t want to mention his name as if he never existed!<\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t realise that I wanted to talk about him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

By keeping our loved ones in our hearts, we keep their memory alive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Even now after all this time, I can be blindsided by a price of music, a memory, or a particular smell that transports me back and I remember, his smile, his laugh, and the amazing human that he was.<\/p>\n
