At a time of great loss, nothing heals like the power of
friendship. Time heals all wounds, they say. But when your husband
dies suddenly, on a glorious sunny day when all he did was go to
work, it takes more than the passage of time to get you through. It
takes the love and support of women who are exactly where you
are--and when you're lucky enough to find them, you cling to each
other until you're strong enough to stand on your own. The truths
you discover in the process are universal, compelling, and
altogether inspiring. That was the lesson learned by Pattie
Carrington, Julia Collins, Claudia Gerbasi, and Ann Haynes, four
thirty-something women whose husbands worked at the World Trade
Center. Before September 11, 2001, they didn't know each other, but
in the months following that horrible day they came together, drawn
as much by their diverse backgrounds as their shared tragedy. At
their very first meeting, the foursome realized their bond was too
special to ignore, and in no time their Widows Club had cemented
into a source of hope and, soon, love that saw them through their
darkest hours, and forward. They took to signing off emails and
phone conversations with a lighthearted phrase: Love You, Mean It.
"Feeling this love for one another meant our hearts were beginning
to open again. It was a risk--love brought with it the ever-present
possibility of loss. But this was a risk worth taking. More than
ever, we understood how important it was to put love at the center
of our lives." A celebration of friendship, optimism, and empathy,
Love You, Mean It is a shared memoir of rebuilt lives. It will
offer hope to anyone who has suffered a loss, and exhilarate
readers from coast to coast.
