…And Then My Husband Died is a raw, intimate, and hopeful memoir exploring trauma, grief, and eventual healing. Spanning from my childhood through the first ten years after my husband Randy’s death, the memoir delves into personal loss, raising two daughters, the complexities of widowhood, and the eventual rediscovery of love and purpose. Written initially as a personal journal, the story evolved into a guide for others navigating grief, blending emotional honesty with practical reflections, humour, and hope.
