[…] Jo Robinson is someone I “met” online and have come to respect enormously. She is a writer and blogger, and illustrator of other authors’ books. I reviewed one of her books, African Me and Satellite TV. She was working on a cover for my new book, when I received the terrible news from her that her husband had died suddenly the morning of December 26. My shock has still not worn off, so I can only imagine what she is going through. The loss of a loved one is a tragedy we all experience, but I can say it never gets easier. How much of our world is formed around the other person, how much is made meaningful by their existence! My deepest condolences to her and her family. You can post a message on her blog at: African Colonial Stories […]

What a terrible loss! So very sorry. Please know others would ease your pain if it were ours to do so. Lost my wife of 38 years a while back. I am sorry to say the pain might never go away, but in the gentleness of time perhaps you will find a way to live with it.
