Publisher's Synopsis
Linda Patterson found her own way through loss and grief when her husband died. In Am I Doing This Right? she retraces her path with clear-eyed honesty, humor, and generosity. This memoir tells the story of a long, successful marriage, of two people who had plans for many more years together. Then a cruel diagnosis ended all of that. Linda Patterson does not try to tell other people how to do caretaking, loss, and grief; instead, she shows us how she did it, and continues to do it. An early reader said of the book, "this is a woman I want to sit with, talk with, and learn from."
