A Season of Grief

A Season of Grief chronicles the author's emotional descent after the violent death of his partner of 21 years. Bill Valentine's journal of fear, anger, denial, and loneliness captures the glimmers of hope, moments of serendipity, and mysterious coincidences that emerged from his full-time devotion to grief following the death of Joe Lopes, a flight attendant who perished in November 2001 along with 264 others when American Airlines Flight 587 crashed shortly after takeoff in route to the Dominican Republic. This unique book details the everyday struggles of a surviving partner trying to carry on in a radically changed world.
