Description

This is a book about the grief suffered by a father on the death of his son. In this book Al and Cathy relate the experience of eight emotional filled years in their lives. Al tells his stories in prose; Cathy tells her stories in prose and poetry. In Book I Chapter 1, Al tells of the death of his twenty-two year old son, Paul, and the intense grief that followed. In Chapter II, he chronicles the three year battle his wife, Betsey, fought with lymphoma and her ultimate defeat. In Book II Chapter I, Cathy tells of the death of her husband, Charlie, and the following years haunted by demons that brought a debilitating persistent depression to her life. In Chapter II, she writes of her affection for Al and how her fear that Al was still committed to Betsey was an obstacle to romance and how she eventually accommodates to that obstacle and marries Al. An epilogue describes the further tragedy that awaited this couple.
