Andrea Williamson uses her own experiences to pose ideas of the "new normal" by memorializing her late husband after he suddenly lost his life in an auto accident. Williamson delivers poetry in this classic reflection on the issues of life with mourning and healing. Williamson also offers a personal analysis with her own experiences in hopes that dealing with grief allows one to be triumphant in the midst of the storm. Each poem allows you to inhibit love, comfort and the sense that you are not alone.

No words can express the feelings one has when losing a loved one. Whether it's due to separation or the expiration of life on earth, there is still not one flower, card or kind gesture that can cause the very first feeling or reaction to ever go away.

The good news is that you can recover and go on to live a rich full, life. Here Allison Davis tells you how.
