Voyage to the Other Side of Grief
Finding Joy in New Dreams
By Glenora Doherty
What happens when the dream dies with a partner?
After 38 years of marriage, Peter and Glenora Doherty embarked on their life’s dream of sailing around the world on their own boat, Wanderlust V, which they built from a bare hull. However, less than three years into the voyage, Peter passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Glenora not only lost him, she lost her cruising lifestyle and her liveaboard home. Her dreams were shattered. She no longer knew who she was or where she was going. This inspirational and uplifting book will provide helpful and comforting advice to anyone who has lost a spouse, including how to survive grief, adjust to a totally new lifestyle, and to find hope and new dreams. There are helpful Steps to Survival at the end of each chapter, including suggestions about how to plan ahead for the death of a spouse, particularly for offshore sailors. During her single-handed life voyage back to faith and hope, she found some new dreams.
