Description
This book describes real events, although Peter Woods is not the author's real name, and all other identities have been changed to preserve anonymity. Following the death of his wife after 53 years of marriage, he had an unusual experience and felt compelled, in the midst of his grief, to record it in writing. A few days later, he had the urge to write more. In the swirling emotions, uncertainties and confusion of bereavement, it thus became a conforting habit to commit to paper his thoughts and feelings as he strove to confront his loss. No-one had told him that it could be therapeutic to do this but later, a CRUSE counsellor urged him to continue. Quite unexpectedly, his narrative turned into a love story, which took over 3 years to complete. - from Amzon
