After the death of my husband, Arron on 9/11, I found catharsis in writing and unexpectedly wrote my memoir, The Alchemy of Loss: A Young Widow’s Transformation, a story that spans four years of my life with my kids after Arron’s death. It is shows the messy aftermath of our lives in ways that anyone can relate to, and though it’s initially sad, it is also funny and inspirational and offers hope to anyone experiencing a loss. It shows the messiness of grief on a family and offers hope in the face of profound loss and death, how it awakens us to what really matters and makes us better appreciate life.
Remember The Moon came as a result of imaging Arron in the afterlife, which to me was a funny thought, given he wasn’t a very woo-woo, afterlife sort of guy. A chance meeting with a psychic turned into a friendship and our sessions became fodder for the book. It is written from the perspective of a dead husband and father who finds himself in therapy in the afterlife coming to terms with his life and his death. His wife and son struggle in their grief and as a “young” soul, he does a messy job of trying to help them from the afterlife.

I probably should back up a little here because I missed the two days of cleaning I undertook with my friend, Wendy before I officially moved into the house.
