Description
A compassionate exploration of grief and mourning, Ms. Threatts invites readers on her
journey of discovery and healing" Sue Schleifer, author of The Key to the Castle: Zen and Travel
Stories of Trust and Cultivating a Mindful Life.
This story ends with faith soaring, nestled between battling love and pain that began in August
of 2014. Rapidly, those reflective moments after the sudden death of my husband turned from ugly
to hopeful to surrender.
A story mixing love and conflict, hope and faith, nourished by nature and family saddled in
between the business of grief. Not just of my own personal moments and setbacks, but those guided
and handed by others.
The death of my husband narrowed the lens throughout all four seasons, in which the winter
months would bring nostalgia in a cup, one sip at a time.
Our foundation, our playground, even the anonymity of work where we met would become a
blessing and a tease.
A splash of Creole, spiced with Cajun foods and languages, this story centers on letting old and
new experiences glide into place.
Doors have been opened and closed as told in the poem.
It is for certain that death did not magically glue itself upon me alone. Many before have and
after have fallen into the traps of depression, bitterness, guilt, and private talk sessions, trying to
make sense of it all. But as I've learned and those before me, it is those that speak up, share, and
seek out help in any manner that is comfortable to their own needs.
What makes this personal first-account history of a life before, during, and after a husband's
death any different? The seasons highlight the readers' senses, ideals, and awareness as the calendar
flips. There is no overloading the reader with a step-by-step account of how to take care of
themselves, for our hearts already know.
I simply fine-tune the senses.
