Synopsis
Odyssey of Ashes: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Letting Go begins with the sudden death of Cheryl Krauter’s spouse. Five months later, in a stroke of irony and magic, her husband wins a long-desired guided fly fishing trip in a raffle—and Cheryl decides to go in his place, fulfilling a promise to scatter his ashes by a trout stream.
Part I of this memoir is an account of the first year after Cheryl’s husband’s death, where she becomes an explorer in the infinite stream of grief and loss, a time traveler between the darkness of sorrow and the light of daily life. Part II concludes with stories of the poignant and humorous adventures she had during the ensuing year. Tying it all together and woven throughout is Cheryl’s account of the creation of an altar assembled during the three-day ritual of Los Días de los Muertos.
Poetic and mythological, Odyssey of Ashes is a raw story of loss and the deep transformation that traveling through darkness and returning to light can bring.

Odyssey of Ashes (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Magical Thinking or Joyce Carol Oates's A Widow's Story, with the additional angle that the author is not famous and therefore more relatable.-A unique memoir angle: Few end-of-life memoirs deal with sudden loss as this memoir does; it is an experience that is less written and talked about than other grief experiences.-Huge target market: Virtually one-third (32.5 percent) of people age sixty-five and older in the US have been widowed. Is it a kind of madness to live out the dream of another? Cheryl Krauter's future disintegrates into ash when her spouse unexpectedly dies-but in the aftermath, she embarks on a pilgrimage that takes her from the storms of trauma to the storms of nature and, ultimately, through loss to transformation. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781647421328
