Author Sheila Kamuda shares her journey after the death of her beloved partner. "And I was left with a great big hole in my heart. A great big emptiness in my life. A realization that I was lost. Could I even find myself again? Would I want to? I was now a party of one. Forced to go it alone."
She doesn't know how she will have the courage but moment by moment, she gets through each day. In recounting her journey, Sheila has created a guide for others who are lost in their grief and are now on their own.
Based on her own experience, she uses a simple approach to cover a powerful topic. The book is organized into four sections: Honor Yourself. Believe in Yourself. Be Yourself. Find Yourself. Each section is a series of one-page vignettes that describe a memory. This is followed by a reflection or insight discovered from that memory..
This memoir is a companion that allows you to find your own way, as you learn how to live again, as a party of one.
