Dear Dennis...

About the Book

‘Dear Dennis… A widow’s journey through the seasons of grief’ is a compilation of letters written by the author to her husband shortly after he died. He had been her best friend for over 30 years and she couldn´t imagine going a day without talking to him so she decided perhaps writing to him would soften the blow. She wrote 332 letters over the next 3 years. "I think there may have been a part of me that thought he might answer my letters but all have gone unanswered. It was extremely hard to share a pain with him that words really can’t describe – but I kept writing and he was always there for me to pour my heart out to." Because she is writing to her deceased husband, her thoughts, emotions, and struggles become very real and heartfelt to the reader. She expresses the raw pain of grief; the denial, anger, regret, depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, guilt, ‘if-onlys’, longing, insanity, rage and even physical pain. Yet, in the midst of these heartfelt emotions, a love story emerges. These letters will take the reader through her painful journey and her struggle to redefine herself and the reader will begin to understand the pain one endures when a life partner dies.
