by Emma Charlesworth (Author)
What happens when the love of your life becomes a statistic?
When Emma Charlesworth's husband, Stuart "Charlie" Charlesworth, took his temperature on Mother's Day 2020, she had no idea it was the beginning of the end. Less than a month later, he had died, another number in the devastating toll of COVID-19 in the UK. At thirty-nine, Emma became a widow, their ten-year-old daughter left fatherless, and life as they knew it shattered.
But this is more than a widow's story. It is a testament to love, loss, and the human spirit's ability to endure. Emma writes not just with grief, but with wit, warmth, and resilience. As she takes readers through their twenty-one-year love story, making her unbearable loss feel both deeply personal and universally understood, Emma's voice is clear in her fierce determination to keep Charlie's legacy alive.
A true story of love, loss, and learning to carry on.
