I simply cannot imagine a better portrayal of lovebetween two people, written through pain, in homage to a loved one.If anyone wants to know about love and the feelingsassociated with its loss, these pages serve as an example.The book is a roadmap of how to honor thelove, revisit it in grief and begin sorting out the feelings of loss . . .This is very heartfelt, powerful material.
