Grace in Grief describes the author's personal journey through deep grief. As a 53-year-old grief counsellor, Rosalie Follett had supported the bereaved. Then, unexpectedly, she was widowed. Rosalie describes the reality that is grief and loss - the shocks, emotions, heartaches and regrets. She describes the day-to-day difficulties in learning to function as a whole person again: facing each day, pushing to find purpose in living, making wise decisions, supporting others. She realises that after thirty three years in a less-than-perfect marriage she had become 'one' with her husband who had suddenly gone, leaving her with the task of finding a new way to function, while at the same time living with a constant sense of deadness, sadness and anxiety. Her husband was always in her head!
