Margo, I think books like that really do sustain one who is grieving. In a private e-mail to Claudia, I thought of one I gave my mother when my father died, entitled "Widow", that was so helpful to both of us. It was in the 70's, and I couldn't remember who wrote it.

Claudia, here's hoping you are on your way to learning to smile at the wonderful memories you have of your life with Al.
