Dear Al,: A Widow’s Struggles and Remembrances

After almost forty-eight years of marriage, Marilyn Pellini lost her husband in a tragic fishing accident. In order to survive, to heal, and to keep his memory alive she wrote letters to him, and often. In these heartfelt notes she chronicled her days, stages of grief, and anticipated return to living life to the fullest once again. Marilyn hopes other widows/widowers will find comfort, understanding and inspiration in her words as they climb out of that deep, dark, pit called grief.
