A Time of Change

This book is of great general interest, dealing with the death of a loved one, and especially now when coronavirus is leaving so many bereaved trying to cope with the grief and desolation that death brings. The author shares with us her journey after the death of her beloved husband, from darkness and despair to the light of life and acceptance. The way is hard and she stumbles and falls but, clinging to life and the support, love and understanding of her friends, she finally learns to live again.

She will always remember, but she finds the strength to move on and through her poetic approach and the quotations she uses she weaves her experience into a wider canvas of the universal human experience of deep emotion.

She says, every loss of a loved one is different but although mine was a single, unique and very private experience, just as a raindrop falling into the sea becomes indistinguishable from it and one with it, so my drop of pain is also a small part of the ocean of the universal human experience of loss.

I hope this book may be a sharing and even a small comfort to those who have to tread the same stony path.

This is a moving and inspiring book.
