Synopsis
Pauline knew for eighteen months that she was going to die shortly from cancer. She was always cheerful and forward-looking, never felt sorry for herself and was always in love. A few months before she died she was awarded a PhD for her work on Ancient Greek tragedy. Hers was a happy and life-fulfilling death, but her husband was left grieving and alone.Grief is complex, it can extend over a long period, and even when seemingly past can re-emerge in surprising and unforeseen ways. This short book plots one person’s experience of grief. It starts during the process of care that runs up to death and continues with a personal account of what can happen to us after the death of a loved one and how we can deal with the aftershock and latent grief. Through conversations with his now dead wife, Gerald Rochelle plots a hard won recovery to a new and changed life, reflecting on its value, fabric and the meaning of its new relationships.Gerald Rochelle is a distinguished practical philosopher and his insights into the grieving process are illuminating and affecting. In this book he confronts many personal issues and thoughts in a straightforward and honest way and provides places where others who are grieving, or in the process of looking after someone who is dying, may anchor their own experiences, fears and concerns, and in so doing perhaps feel less alone and less anxious.
