Book Cover & Preview Text
Ecclesiastes 4:11: “Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?” Laundry day was here again. I’d gathered my husband’s dirty clothes, measured detergent and started the washing machine. I began to load the clothes into the washer and it hit me. This was the last time I would do his laundry. Never again would I have to get out a stain or mend a seam. I had buried him a few days before. I slid to the floor, sobs wracking my whole body, holding his shirts to my face. They still smelled of lingering aftershave lotion, maybe a little grease and sweat too. I was just taking in the smell, trying not to forget. Even dirty clothes would be a memory I didn’t want to lose. How do you cope when you lose your husband, your best friend? How do you cope when you’ll never hold him in your arms again? How do you keep the same friends? What will you do with the rest of your life? These are all questions I asked myself as I slowly faced the fact that my husband had died and I was alone.

About the Book
Each morning when we wake up, we do not know what we will have to face before going to bed that night. My husband and I were making plans to move to Florida full time, but God had other plans. He took my husband home one afternoon. I had no warning and could make no preparation. I have written this book to let others in similar situations know that God is faithful to provide for us, comfort us, and sustain us in our life's journey.
