Maggie was overwhelmed by grief. Her life stopped when her husband died. She gave up. She had no hope. There was no future.
My heart bled for Maggie. She had to go through the grief process at her own pace. It was so sad to read of her heartbreak. She felt that no one could understand. But she did have people in her life that were there to see her through to the other side.
Support can come from family, friends and co-workers. Maggie had to take a risk to allow others to hold her up when she couldn't stand on her own.
This book touched my heart. I wanted to tell Maggie everything will be alright. I never lost a spouse because he died. I was going through a divorce. I felt that I was destined to be alone. I would never meet anyone that was decent and kind. I mourned what I could have had but didn't. With time, I healed and did eventually meet a wonderful man. We just celebrated 15 years of marriage. If I had closed up emotionally, I would not have had what I have now.
