"What if you came home one day and found your husband dead in his favorite chair? This grief memoir explores the author's experience of the unexpected death of her husband from sudden cardiac arrest a mere three months after his doctors had pronounced him hale and healthy. The author shares her experiences in the immediate aftermath of the abrupt shock of discovery, reminisces about the details of the couple's late-in-life courtship and marriage, and imparts other experiences she has had along the grieving road in the years since becoming a widow.

In our society, we often don't want to talk or even think about death, so stereotypes about widows exist. However, each person's grief journey is unique, and sharing tales of those experiences can be helpful and useful for those who find themselves in a similar situation. Though not a self-help book, this memoir is the story of a widow who defied the stereotype that widows are expected to ""get over it"" and move on with their quiet lives. Instead, this widow ""got through it"" and is now sharing her journey in hopes of helping others in comparable circumstances"

Rebecca Daniels (MFA, PhD) taught performance, writing, and speaking in liberal arts universities for over twenty-five years, including St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, from 1992-2015. She was the founding producing director of Artists Repertory Theatre in Portland, Oregon, directed with many professional Portland theater companies in the 1980s, and is the author of the groundbreaking Women Stage Directors Speak: Exploring the Effects of Gender on Their Work (McFarland, 1996, 2000) and has been published in multiple professional theater journals. After her retirement from teaching, she turned her focus to creative nonfiction and began her association with Sunbury Press with Keeping the Lights on for Ike: Daily Life of a Utilities Engineer at AFHQ in Europe During WWII; or, What to Say in Letters Home When You're Not Allowed to Write about the War (Sunbury Press, 2019), a book based on her father's letter home from Europe during WWII. Her second book with Sunbury, Finding Sisters: How One Adoptee Used DNA Testing and Determination to Uncover Family Secrets and Find Her Birth Family, explores how DNA testing, combined with traditional genealogical research, helped her find her genetic parents, two half-sisters, and other relatives in spite of being given up for a closed adoption at birth.
