No Loss of Words

I spent some time this weekend with a few members of the GBC. Conversation usually follows a similar pattern: happiness status, life updates, and then books/articles. I ended up in a discussion or two about marriages and partnerships which may have subconsciously triggered my interest today in this NY Times book review on Joyce Carol Oates' book, A Widow's Story: A Memoir released last week by Ecco. A bit of additional inquiry led me to this PBS Newshour link and interview with Ms. Oates. Loss leads us to explore our identity. I admire anyone who is willing to share the experience.
