    About this ebook

    “Now I know that every single day, the best and the worst, only lasts for twenty-four hours.”
    —Tricia Lott Williford, And Life Comes Back
     
    When your life falls apart—through a death, a lost relationship, a diagnosis—you want more than anything to know that your pain has a purpose. And that beyond your pain, a new day awaits.
     
    Tricia Lott Williford discovered this in a few tragic hours when her thirty-five-year-old husband died unexpectedly. In And Life Comes Back, she writes with soaring prose about her tender, brave journey as a widow with two young boys in the agonizing days and months that followed his death.
     
    And Life Comes Back documents the tenacity of love, the exquisite transience of each moment, and the laughter that comes even in loss. This traveler’s guide to finding new life after setbacks offers no easy answers or glib spiritual maxims but instead draws you into your own story and the hope that waits for you even now.

      Reading Ms. Williford's description of her husband's death left me shaking as it brought up the feelings I had the day my husband died. I enjoyed the stories she shared of her life with her husband - good days and bad. I especially appreciated the candor with which she shared the emotions she felt and the challenges she experienced. It's nice not to feel alone.
