The Other Side of the Bed and Beyond is a journey of grief following the sudden death of the author's husband of forty-two years of marriage. During the healing process, she shares glimpses of love, loss, and memories of the life they shared. Other themes emerged along the way. Nature poems about trees, dogs, and tropical fish. Family poems about her dad, her grandsons that she nicknamed The Sheriff & the Outlaw, and her beloved Westie, Clancy, fill the pages of this personal, heartfelt collection.
