In 2016 her husband was injured while on his job. Over the next three years he underwent a neck surgery, a wide variety of therapies and treatments. Nothing helped ease the pain and numbness. In 2019 he went in for another neck surgery to replace the discs that had been replaced during his 2017 surgery. "Surgery went well, he is in recovery," is the word she received over the phone from the surgeon while in the waiting room of the hospital. Two days later her husband coded and although they were able to bring him back he was never responsive again. Other complications and set backs occurred over the next couple of weeks. Then the doctors told her she had a decision to make. It was the hardest decision she and her family had to make. They were all in agreement with what he would have wanted and with his family by his side, holding his hands, he died early on a Saturday afternoon. Her life changed forever at that moment. As a widow she had many decisions to make. A life to continue living, or not. She could have gotten lost in her own isolation. She could have drowned in her own sorrow and become stuck in the stages of grief. Instead, this is her story of how she took this new way of life and living by the horns and faced each day with a positive attitude. This is her story of moving forward through grief and how she progressed to find happiness, smiles and laughter within her first year. Her determination, the goals she set, her faith kept her going. In part two she details ways women, (and men) can also get through this tragedy that nearly everyone faces at some point in their lives. She offers ideas of how couples can prepare each other for the 'til Death do us part', of the wedding vows. While she admits in this book there is no way to prepare for the emotions one feels at that time in their life, she gives others hope and encouragement to be able to keep going and move forward.

Leaving came easy for Andy. A runaway since he was a teenager, he had always returned home--until now. As an adult, he had simply disappeared. His family had stopped searching after the first year, certain that he would return when he was ready, as he always had. Their mother's final wishes had Sara and Heather searching for their baby brother again. She wanted her children home to carry on the family business. There would be rewards for them all, but only when all her wishes were fulfilled. Hope came in a phone call, then died in a split second when a bad decision changed everything for everyone. Follow this family as they face loss, tragedy, hardships, heartaches, and even love. Discover their secrets that could change the dynamics of the whole family. The secrets could explain a lot or cause more pain. The future of the family of Bella Rose Estate depended on the hardships of staying.
