Grieving Through A Magical Celebration of Life: The New Normal

By Guy Marini

Mary Lee (M.L.) Marini was my true love and best friend for more than 40 years of marriage. In this book, my adult children and I share reflections on M.L.'s final years of serious illness-both the pain and the laughter-and how our family came together to celebrate her life in a non-traditional way after the pandemic. The book also explores the benefits of feeling the sorrow of loss and creating an enduring celebration of life.

"Reading [this book] compelled me to reflect on my own loss and grief. ... The many messages Guy shared in the book and through his poetry were riveting: the rawness, the beauty, the brutal truth, the unique love, and the sweetness and sadness of losing his beloved Mary Lee."
