Serenely Beautiful

The Last Goodbye by Fiona Lucas is the most beautiful contemporary novel about love and loss and life. Fiona Lucas words sunk deep into my heart and soul. I was enchanted by the whole book. It was serenely beautiful.

The book is about loss. “I’m not sure how I go on living and breathing without you.” This loss is painful. It hurts and it keeps on hurting. It is hard to see anything but searing pain ahead.

This tale is also about “wisps of hopes and dreams.” There is hope for the future but we need to start with baby steps.

When loss consumes we need to be able to talk to someone about it. If we bottle it up we merely push the pain down and it will manifest itself in other ways.
