In No One To Wake, Marilyn C. O’Leary shares “a bouquet of mourning” the death of her husband of fifty years. This book of poetry is beyond beautiful. And one needn’t have been married for fifty years, or married at all, to feel softly wrapped in the understanding of how it feels to lose someone you love deeply. Both pain and transcendence are painted in her poems, plus the naturalness and magic of death itself “…you took your leave breathing like a fish, swimming out into an ocean of darkness and love.” She also addresses the guilty urge to look back and question whether she did enough, whether she was enough “The recipe for my life had ingredients you didn’t like,” and then acknowledges that “Our relationship was whole.” And then there’s the need to go on. She recognizes the “freedom” that comes from loss; “sadness an opening… (to) find yourself unwrapped. I could do anything, be anything, go anywhere,” she writes, but “What if it wasn’t you who kept me tethered?” In this small book, O’Leary takes us from the dark folds of anguish where we’re sometimes drawn towards death ourselves, to the realization that “The answer to all is Life.”
No One to Wake Marilyn C O'Leary Books
Full disclosure: Marilyn O'Leary is a friend of mine for more than 50 years. I knew her husband, Jim, for five decades as well. Theirs was a love story not experienced by many couples, as far as I have seen. This book, written right after Jim died, is an extraordinarily help for anyone experiencing grief at the loss of someone close. As a reader, you have a companion for the days you drag through, the times you arrive at the space you shared, then remember (again) the person is no longer there. You are reminded, once again, that grieving takes time and that it's never really over. The pain does lessen, for sure, and hopefully, amidst this process of life, you hover over the good times, let them lighten your load and cross the bridge to feeling grateful this person was in your life. I'm writing this review in memory of a good friend, who lived in the New York City apartment below me, whom I knew for over four decades--I still can't believe she's gone, but 'No One to Wake' is helping me get through.Product details
