Walking Back to Me: The Ramblings of a Wandering Widow
And just like that I’ve a new moniker – widow. Instantly I’m exiled to a strange foreign country. What I had believed to be a lifetime visa to happiness has been revoked and it seems as if I will never get my passport back to normality.’
When Claire Russell lost her husband 10 days before Christmas, her life was torn apart. Morning rituals, shared jokes, annual traditions – the cornerstones of a life well-lived – vanished in a cruel, heartbreaking second.
What to do with this newly minted but unwanted existence? How was she to regain a sense of normality in a world so irrevocably changed?
Never one to do things by halves, Claire decided to embark on an epic solo adventure – walking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain. In 300 kilometres and 12 days, she hoped to find a way back – to herself.

A touching journey shared - thank you
A very personal, touching and funny journal of walking the Camino de Santiago and coping with grief. Recently widowed myself and walking the Camino I found it such a comfort to recognise the emotions I too experience - the sad and the glad. It is also a handy companion guide on the walk.
