Produktbeschreibung
There are no universal rules or guidelines to help us deal with the death of those we love, just as there are no guarantees that we will live a long and fruitful life ourselves. Death comes when it will, and those of us left behind cope as best we can. Allan Drummond describes himself as a mess when Jude, his wife of forty-three years, died. Tired of rattling around in an empty house, Allan decided to set out on a long drive through parts of Australia, meeting people, yarning with them, discovering that many of them had experienced their own share of grieving. He watched others shed tears, and continued to do the same. Not everyone can set out on adventure like Allan s, but reading this account of his physical and mental journey, will surely provide the rest of us with a good dose of optimism and a sense of gratitude for lives lived and those which we are still living.
Autorenporträt
Allan Drummond was a teacher of distinction for fifty years in New South Wales, Victoria and, for three years, in South Sudan, an experience he is regularly called upon to relive in public presentations. He is the author of thirty five biographies of famous people, including Aussie Notables: a series on the people on the Australian bank notes. Father of five, he was happily married for forty three years before having to make the painful adjustment to becoming a widower.
