A remarkable book - beautifully written by an accomplished writer/storyteller - it tells, through blog extracts, poetry and pictures, of the writer's emotional journey during the final months of illness and then, the two years after his wife's death...Each extract is a complete little story in itself - and brief enough that I could not resist the urge to read 'just one more' before turning out the light. It was a compulsive read...Most of us experience love and loss, and yet we find it hard to talk of such things. Now I feel that I have a greater understanding of my own journey of grief, and a better way of thinking and talking about it.
