Many grieving mates feel isolated. Death makes people uncomfortable. Friends and family want to help ease the pain, but don't know what to do. "Should we talk about the deceased?" "Should we listen?" "Do we avoid the subject entirely?" When a Life Mate Dies is about talking, listening, and sharing feelings, not about hiding behind comfortable euphemisms or walking delicately among the distressed. This moving collection of heartfelt stories, poems, essays, and journal entries recounts the real experiences of real people who have had to deal with the loss of a life mate. For these people and many others, just knowing that they are not alone brings them one step closer to becoming whole.
