From Wedding Rings to Imperfect Dreams (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781913674021)

From Wedding Rings to Imperfect Dreams is a moving memoir of Maria Mitchell's journey as a young widow. After marrying Tyrone, the man she longingly hoped for, Maria's love story was cut short after losing him to cancer two years into their marriage.

Including intimate musings, this incredibly poignant story gives an honest account of the highs and lows of this heart-breaking journey but also echos the message that love prevails. In the foretelling of this story and in honour of Tyrone's legacy, some of his actual words as a spoken word artist and writer are delicately interwoven, expressed and memorialised within the pages of this memoir.

From Wedding Rings to Imperfect Dreams offers much-needed support to anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one. It includes a 'call to action'- sharing how family, friends, the wider community, churches and faith groups can extend meaningful and practical consideration and support that empowers those that are grieving.

In this stunning memoir, Maria shares a heartfelt letter to other widows, letting them know they are loved, seen, listened to and never forgotten.

A beautiful read full of hope, love, perseverance and faith, reminding us that even in our darkest moments there is light along our paths.
