I appreciated that Tembi shared how difficult her grief was. I don't have the caregiver experience at the level she had but could definitely recall feeling a lot of what she described (and that can still come up 17 years later) while being widowed. I wonder if publishing her story limits her willingness to remarry since it's something that may come back to her time and time again as new people (like me) get it and look to connect with her about her love + loss.
