Pre-Owned The Elements: A Widowhood (Paperback) 1785787950 9781785787959

What does it mean to become a widow at 35? In her mid-thirties Kat Lister lost her husband to brain cancer. After five years of being a wife and one of being a carer in love and in and out of hospitals she became a widow. In the year following his death Kat seeks refuge in stories of grief and widowhood but struggles to find a language that can make sense of her experience and the physicality of bereavement. Instead she turns to the elements - fire water earth air - on her quest to come to terms with her grief to inhabit her body again and to find out who she is now. The Elements is a story of love pain hope and ultimately transformation.
