trilby's daze

They were still newlyweds, practically, when her husband was diagnosed with a serious illness, and though he underwent treatment it came as a surprise when he suddenly took a turn for the worse one day, at home, and died within hours.

What does a woman do when her beloved partner is gone? She grieves. It is not an easy journey and it takes a long, long time, and some of us might pick up a pen and a camera to show others what it is like.

Pamela Yates begins her blog while on a sailing trip. She takes us to the islands she visits before coming back home to the States, where her young adult children are. She sorts through her husband’s photographs and her memories of him and their life together. Throughout this poignant letter of love and longing, we get a sense that Pamela’s husband Jerry isn’t as far away as he seems.
