Reviews and Comments:
In the Introduction to her book Above and Beyond Wellfleet, Constance B. Wilder wrote — “Grieving is the supreme test in understanding ourselves. While building strength after devastating loss, I wrote this book for others to lean on, hoping the words would fill a void caused by loss.”
In press comments, Wilder offered these thoughts: "Grief has no expiration date. People want you to get over it, and you want to get over it. Well-meaning friends will ask how you are doing, and they want you to say 'Fine'. But the real answer is: 'I'm really, really awful.' It's hard not to become impatient with your grief; it comes in waves. Others need to be patient too, but ultimately it is up to the grieving person to dig deeply to find the strength to heal.
I spent a lot of time coming up with the subtitle of the book: A memoir about welcoming life after loss, because I believe it is possible to find new joys to balance the sorrow."
