What do you do when life changes and you find yourself travelling solo? How do you adjust after many years of shared life with someone deeply loved? This was the challenge that Jo Cundy faced after the unexpectedly early death of her husband, Ian.
Since then, Jo has been on a journey exploring a very different way of life, and learning that God does not abandon us, but remains active in our lives. Indeed, God has not let the grass grow under her feet!
This is a book about journeying, where the reality and metaphor of travel mingle. By sharing stories and reflections on the opportunities that have opened up for her in this season of life, Jo seeks to encourage fellow travellers to acknowledge the challenges, but also to welcome life’s new experiences and adventures with hope and faith.
Arc provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review
I just discovered that I have an issue with reading the synopsis for books, I usually don't, especially when am requesting for books on netgalley. I went into this book pretty much blind and it wasn't a terrible read.
This was such an emotional and eye opening book. The author writes of her experiences and what it felt like becoming a widow. I haven't been married or a widow but I can tell that it must have been really hard.
”And it's from the old I travel to new, How did I start on this journey?”
It takes a lot of courage to write down ones experiences with things such as this. I recommend this book to people looking for encouragement and solitude after losing their significant other. Reading about someone else's experience would help them to know they're not alone.
