The death of a spouse may not kill us, too, but it will certainly feel that way. Grappling with loss is never easy. Grieving in isolation (and through a global pandemic) may be the hardest thing you'll ever do. This book is a message from one survivor to another. You are not alone on this lonely path. Discover how I learned to cope-- and hopefully you will, too. How I am muddling through and discovering a new me from the empty shell that was left behind-- and see what I (and maybe you, too) could eventually become. As I wrote this book, I only wanted to know that I would make it to the other side of grief. That this terrible, catastrophic event would not be the thing that took me out, too. Because of that fear of not knowing, I developed a series of rear-view mirror hindsights on what I know now, but I wish I'd known know then. Follow my journey as I discover the therapeutic joy of fostering shelter pets. How fostering and adopting can bring you new joy and reasons to stick around. My hope with this book is to leave a few breadcrumbs on the trail for the people starting their journey after me. From one survivor to another-- you can do this! You will make it, too.  Donation of proceeds: Half of the proceeds of this book will be donated to two of my favorite causes: The local Humane Society that blessed me with Ginger and Iris and Safe Harbor Shelter, to assist women who are struggling with domestic abuse.
