‘Dancing Through the Void’ is the outcome of a series of very personal and poignant journal entries chronicling a passage through the transition from bereavement to a new and vibrant life. Whilst written by a widow after forty-four years of marriage, there is much that will resonate with younger widows and widowers, especially those whose late partners suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease or cancer. At the end of each chapter are practical suggestions for living each day positively.

A Book by Jacquie Clarke

Through the grief and pain of aloneness and first anniversaries, the prospect of selling the family home; a trip of a lifetime holiday in Hawaii, a magical encounter with her late husband; hula dancing in a sexy sarong, the beginnings of a new business venture and a journey of introspection, self discovery, understanding and acceptance, the author shares her experiences of bereavement with clarity, honesty and poignancy.

Choosing to view her widowhood positively as having been bestowed the gift of freedom to become all that she could be, she describes how at the age of sixty three, she learned to dance through the void of bereavement, pick up the threads of life again and find a meaningful way to help other women in similar circumstances.
