What if you came home one day and found your husband dead in his favorite chair? This grief memoir explores the author's experience of the unexpected death of her husband from sudden cardiac arrest a mere three months after his doctors had pronounced him hale and healthy. The author shares her experiences in the immediate aftermath of the abrupt shock of discovery, reminisces about the details of the couple's late-in-life courtship and marriage, and imparts other experiences she has had along the grieving road in the years since becoming a widow. In our society, we often don't want to talk or even think about death, so stereotypes about widows exist. However, each person's grief journey is unique, and sharing tales of those experiences can be helpful and useful for those who find themselves in a similar situation. Though not a self-help book, this memoir is the story of a widow who defied the stereotype that widows are expected to "get over it" and move on with their quiet lives. Instead, this widow "got through it" and is now sharing her journey in hopes of helping others in comparable circumstances
