My journey began in the wee morning hours of February 18, 2007. At the time my husband and I were living in Los Angeles, in the beautiful home we had just purchased five short months before, in a quiet suburb west of the city. That very early February morning my husband was traveling home from a recording session in Hollywood, along the same route he took every day, around the same time he traveled everyday. Only this time, unbeknownst to him, a young man who had been out celebrating his birthday that evening with friends was driving intoxicated (nearly twice the legal limit) on that same stretch of highway. After driving for a while west-bound on the 101 Hollywood freeway, the young man inexplicably pulled over to the right shoulder, paused momentarily, and in a decision that would change many lives forever, proceeded to make a u-turn and head the wrong way - traveling full speed - into opposing traffic.There are some things in life that are simply unimaginable. Most would put losing your 30 year old husband in an instant on that list of very unimaginable things.However, losing a spouse at any age is a devastating and difficult ordeal that leads to an often devastating and difficult journey. How we get through that ordeal, and the journey that follows, is about as unique to each one of us as our fingerprints. Along with screaming in the car while sitting in traffic, throwing things... and binge shopping, the thing that Stephanie Cooper Willoughby found most cathartic was to write. This book is a collection of selected stories from her original blog "Changing Lanes", which she wrote in the months and years following her husband's death. A glimpse into one young widow's experience with grief in real time, these particular stories were chosen so that the reader might discover withiin them a sense of hope as they witness her struggles, epiphanies, and personal triumphs, as she ventured toward her evolution.
