ABOUT THE BOOK

Have you just lost your soul mate, the love of your life?

Are you struggling to piece together a life that feels shattered beyond repair?

In a story of heartbreak, healing and resilience, Kylie shares her journey through unimaginable loss. When her soulmate passed away suddenly during what should have been a dream holiday, she was left to face a life that felt both surreal and empty. As she grappled with overwhelming grief, she found herself confronting the reality of a life without the man she had planned to grow old with.

With raw honesty, Kylie opens up about the challenges of her first year alone – the pain, the confusion, and the small moments of light amidst the darkness. Supported by loved ones she embarks on a path of self-discovery, honouring her partner’s memory whilst bravely allowing herself to envision new dreams.

Kylie’s story reveals that grief doesn’t have to mean the end of hope. By befriending her sorrow, embracing her emotions, and finding strength in unexpected places, she shows that it’s possible to rebuild life after loss, carrying love forward in a way that honours both the past and the future.

This book is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of love that endures beyond life itself.
