{"product_id":"9781595949783","title":"As Long As I Live: Poems and Reflections on Grief and Loss","description":"Poems and Other Rambling is not intended to be a self-help book.  It depicts my personal struggles and reflections during my journey through the healing process after the death of my husband.  The poems I wrote during the early periods of my grief are at times dark and disheartened.  As I progressed in my journey the mood of my writings began to lighten and reflect hope.  Although, my journey is not yet complete, I find more joy in life now.  I reflect on my memories more with a smile than a tear. Now to my surprise I actually laugh out loud and feel heartened by hugs from old and new friends.  Every day, I am amazed by the accomplishments of my children and grandchildren. I see the beauty in the world that surrounds me.  I feel blessed for the life I have been given. After three long years, in many ways I am content.  I cherish my memories and look forward to my future.  I know this is how my husband would have wanted it to be.","brand":"Wingspan Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47138322186480,"sku":"9781595949783","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781595949783_p0.jpg?v=1763809998","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781595949783","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
