Description

At age forty-one, Lori LoCicero had everything she ever dreamed of-two young children, a loving husband, and a flourishing business.

Then, a shocking pancreatic cancer diagnosis changed everything.

After a year-long battle, her husband, Joe, died, abruptly thrusting her into a strange world with a devastating new title: Widow. Losing her identity as a wife, parenting partner, and business collaborator left her adrift in a sea of numbness as the harsh realities of widowhood took hold. Each day was a challenge as she navigated relentless waves of grief while learning how to survive on her own. Reluctantly at first, she began to trust her intuition, gradually accepting and appreciating the valuable lessons around her. With the help of a surfboard, signs from beyond, and some rather persistent spiders, she ultimately found inner strength and a renewed appreciation for life and its possibilities.

Told with heart-wrenching honesty and unexpected humor, Clouds Far Behind Me is a vibrant and uplifting memoir that follows one woman's journey from unimaginable tragedy to emotional triumph.
