Book excerpt: The death of a life partner is not only heartbreaking but can mean the loved one left behind has to forge a whole new future - often alone. In Alone Again, author Dawn Cawley reveals the grief and trauma she experienced when she lost her beloved husband Alan to cancer and became a reluctant member of a singles club she did not wish to join. With her dreams for the future shattered, Dawn realised she could hide away forever - an attractive prospect at the time - or learn to cope with her new normal and hopefully find happiness one day. This little book is a practical, simple and helpful tome for anyone who has lost their 'other half' and shows it is possible to move forward in time, after great loss.
