People have a lot to say about grief when your spouse dies. Some of it helps. Some of it doesn't. And some of it makes you wonder if the person talking has ever actually been anywhere near grief.

Just A Little Bit Longer is my take on what it's like when your spouse dies and you're the one left living with everything that comes with that.

I wrote this book after the sudden death of my husband. It's one widowed person talking to another about the shock, the practical mess, other people, loneliness, identity, memories, belonging, love, anger, and the strange business of continuing to be a person when your life no longer runs the way it did while your spouse was alive.

Organized into short, individual chapters, Just A Little Bit Longer can be read from beginning to end or by choosing the subjects that resonate with you.

I hope you find something in these pages that helps. Mostly, I hope they give you some comfort and company when you need it.
