(My) Life After Death: A Memoir of Milestones Donna Kusman

A sometimes heartbreaking, occasionally witty look in the year of a life of a fortysomething widow. The author captures life as "milestones" that mark the first year after the sudden death of her cherished husband: birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays, as well as moments like the first time she tried to leave the house without a wedding ring. The memoir reveals her emotional struggle to overcome the deep sorrow to move on, and how her husband's spiritual presence was a guiding force that, in the end, has helped her transition to a new life on another continent. A quiet, contemplative journey that seeks to inspire others who have loved and lost.
