A Resource for Gay Men Moving Forward
My book is about how I started to relive my life after the death of my partner Steve. My world turned upside down on the day Steve died. We had been together for 49 years. How was I going to navigate my life without Steve?
Losing your partner is the worst thing that can happen to you in life. It is not only heartbreaking, but surreal. You don’t know whether to turn right or turn left. Everything in life’s handbook has now been turned upside down.
My book provides ideas, strategies, and suggestions on how to move forward with your life. “My Life After Loss” provides lifelines of insights to help gay men move ahead into the future with confidence, strength, and hope.
Although the book primarily addresses gay men, my book would be a great gift for any man or woman moving ahead. I think Jane Fonda said it best, “It’s never too late. Never too late to start over. Never too late to be happy.”
