Writer Helen Bailey's world fell apart in early 2011 when she and her workaholic husband took off on a well-earned break to Barbados and days after arriving Helen watched helplessly from the beach as he was dragged out to sea in a rip-current and drowned. Alone and more than 3,000 miles from home, she was a wife at breakfast and a widow by lunchtime. With her life as she knew it shattered, Helen began to chronicle living after such devastating and shocking loss in a blog—Planet Grief—and gained a worldwide following from many who had experienced huge loss, whether through death or divorce.

Helen has emerged from her nightmare, and her story will bring wry humor, comfort and hope to a huge number of people, whatever their circumst
