Facing any significant loss challenges all our abilities and ideas about ourselves and our lives. But what happens when that loss is somewhere across the globe, in an unfamiliar and difficult environment? When Roselee Blooston got the call letting her know that her husband had had a stroke in Dubai while working there, she and her son rushed to his side. And when he died, she was faced with an alienating and unimaginable job: sorting out what she needed to do to deal with the practicalities while compromised by the overwhelming grief. In her book, she describes the whole experience and in the meantime, draws us into the world of her marriage, her loss, her grief and the new life she created from all of it.
