The Heart Remembers: A Memoir of Personal Growth - 9781491704080

For many years, J. Lei and her husband, Trent, lived an idyllic life on a Texas ranch, one that had been in their family for five generations. But then Trent was diagnosed with stage four cirrhosis and died unexpectedly. In The Heart Remembers, Lei offers a personal account of how she processed and dealt with the death of her beloved spouse. This memoir follows her journey from the beginning-through the uncertain steps of the initial diagnosis to the inevitable end of a fatal disease. She shares the grief she experienced as a surviving spouse and provides insight into the emotions, actions, and thoughts one might experience in a similar circumstance. The Heart Remembers chronicles the courage and determination that was necessary to pull through one of life's saddest and most shocking events. It presents an honest, intimate, and down-to-earth account of one woman's struggle to turn tragedy into enlightenment and shows that hope exists in all things-even death.
