Summary

First published in 2003, Sea of Love, Sea of Loss: Letters to Olive was acclaimed for its honest depiction of a relationship and the raw reality of grief and loss when a spouse dies. But it wasn't the end of the story. While loss is permanent and grief lingers, love can grow. Ten years after the death of his wife Olive, John Quinn now reflects on the journey of those ten years - how he has coped with loss and adapted to grief, and how his love for Olive has deepened in wonderful ways.
