“Love of Finished Years is a beautifully written narrative and series of poems of a journey of grief for a beloved husband. From page 1, we are led through a profound encounter with mystery and meaning. Here we learn of coincidences, dreams, and signs that speak to the intricacies, contradictions, and beauty of a long marriage and a relationship after death. Love of Finished Years offers a beacon of hope for the journey of grief.”
“This beautifully written book is the story of Diane’s transformational life journey due to the death of her beloved husband: from one of denial, grasping, and pain to acceptance and equanimity. This book of prose and poetry will be of great value and solace to those who have suffered such loss or are anticipating it. De Pisa’s vivid description of the journey’s stages and trials is a needed guide based on personal experience for what one will face upon such a loss.”
“There is something special about a love bond that transcends time, a bond that brings joy but cannot escape grief, a bond that ends in time but time can never end, a bond that is primarily expressed in poetry. Diane De Pisa’s book Love of Finished Years gives expression to just such a relationship. It is an honor for me to endorse her book.”
