Passages: Hollyhocks on the Garden Wall
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Netherton, Louise, PUBLISHER: Wheatmark, "To say "death is a part of life" does nothing to ease the reality, coming home to a house, no one there to come home to, having experiences but no one to share them with. An empty chair at the table, the empty side of the bed, everywhere -- empty. No razor on his side of the sink (or cosmetics on her side), the empty hole in your heart." Louise Netherton had been married almost fifty-seven years when her husband lost his battle with cancer. Advised in grief counseling to keep a journal, an overwhelming torrent of emotions flowed into words. In sharing her experiences of loss through journal excerpts and poetry, Louise hopes to provide comfort to others who are grieving.
