There is no process, no beginning, no middle or end to grief; it
just is. And that simple existence changes everything.
Author Pat Brown lost the love of her life in 2005. When Tom,
her husband of eighteen years, died of a hemorrhagic stroke, she
was surprised-and sometimes dismayed-to discover that grief
reopened all the questions often described as spiritual, questions
she thought had been settled long before. Her unease, even
distrust, of religious answers to mystical conundrums made the
journey difficult. But she hung in, bracketing her disbelief, while
keeping an open mind and a cocked eyebrow.
In "Surprised Pink Geraniums," she shares stories of her life
with Tom-stories filled with love, tenderness, humour, and
sometimes the annoyances of loving another human being. Irish
Wolfhounds played major roles in their lives, and these great
beasts contribute their own version of charm and devotion. Even so,
"Surprised Pink Geraniums" is not a depiction of happy couples
romping with dogs. It is a story of grievous loss, of connections,
and of recreating meaning. This memoir is not focused on
redemption-only on the human possibility for joy.
