The ongoing grief journey after the loss of a loved one, particularly following any of the Dementia’s diseases, has some surprising twists to it. Sylvia shares her grief walk from her husband’s passing for almost three years and the realisation that life is very different. You don’t 'get over it'. As some may say. Neither is it just a case that 'life goes on'. Yes, life moves forward, but becomes an adjustment to a new life that includes days where 'grief bumps' suddenly appear without rhyme or reason. Interspersed with her story, Sylvia seeks to help those who are grieving in their own unique way, offering comfort and encouragement. Grief is not something that can be logically 'put in a box' - one size fits all. With illustrative examples, the reader will be able to take a sigh of relief and better cope with their own very personal, very different life as it plays out from day to day. Nobody can comfortably walk in someone else’s shoes. From a false sense of inner peace and a realisation of how hard the grief journey is, read about the confusion of it all, where nothing seems to make sense. There is, however, a determination to find some blessings amongst everything, something to be grateful for. How Sylvia’s husbands suffering afforded an opportunity to create a purpose that helps others on their own grief journey. Do you sink or survive this new trauma that has hit? Often it is like a past memory of the Barn Dances both so enjoyed - four steps forward and four steps back as the ongoing grief is expressed. Truth dawned as a revelation hit home - there is no 'perfect way to grieve'. Only to discover how to accept the new way of life that is perfect for you.
