An elegantly written memoir recounting the loss of a spouse, It’s All Right, I’m Only Crying by Kathleen Christison describes the author’s process of dealing with grief.

Kathleen and her late husband, Bill, exemplified the institution of marriage, living happily together for over thirty years. After a series of falls and sudden illness, Kathleen became a widow. Christison describes the changes in her life through the years in terms of the immediate loss of her husband, the following depression, and the realization grief will always be a part of her.

At what point do love stories begin and end? Christison shows through her writing that being in love with someone doesn’t end with death, as they are still a part of you. With her pen and her memories, Kathleen Christison wrote this cathartic memoir honoring the lasting love between a husband and wife.

She has written numerous articles for Middle Eastern scholarly journals and frequently writes for the online newsletter Counterpunch.
