One Man’s Quest To Publish His Wife’s Stories After Her Death
Proof that the written word can move people. And what a lovely way to live on.
It also makes me think about all the wonderful writing that’ll never be read, because those authors had no one to believe in them.
Very much liked the excerpt at Ms. Jensen’s site, will be picking this one up soon.
And if this article doesn’t touch you, even a little, it may be time to get that cardio checkup.
Thanks for sharing that amazing story with us, Raine. Just wish she got to see it before she passed–how sad.
You’re right–it helps when someone is there to cheer you on.
I think it’s a lovely tribute by the husband, and I’m sure his heart is in the right place. But this is also a reminder of what often happens when a writer leaves behind work they never intended to publish (he says in the article that she “resisted” publication because she was too busy being a working mom, but that just doesn’t ring true to me.)
Because of situations like these I’ve already burned a lot of things I never wanted published. Just best to be safe and see to it yourself before you go.
Just wish she got to see it before she passed–how sad.
True…but she might never have attempted it herself, Tyhitia.

Big time.

I thought about that too, Lynn. In this case, the author’s work was apparently noteworthy–but one has to wonder if she ever really wanted it pubbed.
And in this case, I think it meant more to the husband than to her. I hope it helped ease his pain.
A relief from cynicism…
A relief from cynicism…
Yes, Bernita.
That is a touching story. I’m glad her husband had the persistence to accomplish the task. Seven years is quite a mission.
