The Story Behind The Books
My story and the story behind the Widowhood series of books is a simple yet powerful story of love, devotion and strength.....
My husband was diagnosed with throat cancer 25 years before his death and during the following 25 years I became not only his wife, I was his care giver, his medical advocate, best friend and soul mate. We travelled a road littered with sundry illnesses and with the experiences that most families have thrown in for good measure.
Ours was a May/December marriage with the age gap being 27 years, not that it ever bothered either of us very much we loved each other and though not a perfect marriage by any means it was a good one and we sustained each other through all the trails of illness, family disasters, deaths and even his own death at the end.
Keith died at home aged 80 years, 5 months and 5 days old. It was in the early hours of our Wedding Anniversary and I am sure that he held on until then just to spend that last few special hours with me. That shows how strong the bond was between us and how much love we bore each other.
I now write about the journey forward from that moment of incredible loss and pain. I write the story of healing for me. I write because I am compelled to write these books to share this journey and to give hope to those setting foot on the path to Widowhood that there is hope, you can get through this and you do gain strength from it.
For those who wish to read about this journey my books are available on smashwords.com along with the poetry books that I have been writing as a joyous release for my spirit since childhood.
Have a great day
Dawn
