When author and counselor H. Norman Wright’s beloved wife, Joyce, passed away, he grieved the loss of his partner and the life they shared. Even in his state of sorrow, he knew he had to find a way to live without Joyce, to forge a hopeful path, and to move forward in God’s grace and strength.
With vulnerability and emotional insight, Norm shares from his deeply personal journey and illuminates the way back to living when someone you love is gone. Readers who have lost their spouse will discover support and guidance as they
- work through anger, including anger at God, to ease toward God’s peace
- move away from denial and “what ifs” to move forward
- allow memories to provide comfort without getting stuck in the past
- create a healthy new, daily routine to care for themselves
- turn their new identity and life over to God’s leading and mercy
This tender and inspirational book will help any reader who is grieving or who is walking alongside a grieving friend.

“I am new to grieving. I lost my wife of 56 years just 6 months ago. There are not very many male oriented bereavement groups around, so having a sincere discussion about your loss and concerns is not easy. I purchased Norman’s book about 2 months ago and it has been a constant companion and reference. When I read it is as if he was sitting across from me thinking about the same things I am. It helps that the wife he lost, as he describes her, is so much like my own that we could be speaking of the same wonderful person. “His writing style is so relaxed and introspective that I can listen, identify, and accept his thoughts. This is so unlike some ‘spiritual’ books that are arrogant and shrill written by authors that hadn’t experience a spousal loss. Just a wonderful book that God may have directed me to when I most needed it.”
