In 1997 Andrew Marshall's partner, and the only person to whom he
had ever truly opened his heart, died after a gruelling and
debilitating illness. Unmoored from his old life, and feeling let
down by his family, Marshall struggled not only to make sense of
his loss but to even imagine what a future without Thom might look
like. In his diary, he wrote about what set him back - like a
rebound relationship - some weird and wonderful encounters with
psychics and gurus and how his job as a journalist gave him the
chance to talk about death with a range of famous people, a
forensic anthologist and a holocaust survivor. Slowly but surely
with the help of friends, a badly behaved dog and a renewed
relationship with his parents, he began to piece his life back
together. Although his diary was never meant for publication,
Marshall did share it with friends and colleagues dealing with
bereavement, who found it immensely helpful, so to mark the
twentieth anniversary of Thom's death, he has decided to open it
for everybody to read. My Mourning Year is a frank and unflinching
account of one man's life for a year after the death of his
lover.In turn heartbreaking, frustrating and even sweetly funny,
this is no step-by-step guide to dealing with bereavement but a
shoulder to lean on when facing the unknowns of death and a
resource for those left behind.
