Grieving Through A Magical Celebration Of Life: The New Normal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781958217771)

Mary Lee (M.L.) Marini was my true love and best friend for more than 40 years of marriage. In this book, my adult children and I share reflections on M.L.'s final years of serious illness-both the pain and the laughter-and how our family came together to celebrate her life in a non-traditional way after the pandemic. The book also explores the benefits of feeling the sorrow of loss and creating an enduring celebration of life.

"Reading [this book] compelled me to reflect on my own loss and grief. ... The many messages Guy shared in the book and through his poetry were riveting: the rawness, the beauty, the brutal truth, the unique love, and the sweetness and sadness of losing his beloved Mary Lee."
