Ever thought about going through and living life after losing someone near and dear to your heart? Ever wondered about how to survive each day without having your loved one by your side, without hearing his/her words and without his/her comforting presence? We often take our loved ones for granted, always assuming that they will be there all the time. We see them everyday until we don't really 'see' them anymore, we complain they nag us and restrict us; but we never stop to think - 'What would I do without this person in my life?'
Ps. I Love You by Cecilia Ahern tells us of a story of a young woman who lost her husband; the man she has been with every day of her life for the past 15 years. It tells us of her struggle to continue living her life without her soulmate by her side, sharing her every thought and dreams. It also tells us of how she learns to live her life for herself, not for the ghost of her husband and how to appreciate and treasure each memory they had together while not being afraid to make some more.
It is wonderful indeed how the author has managed to convey emotions through her words - happy, exciting, sad, heart-wrenching. The tale sweeps you off your feet and you find yourself crying and laughing together with Holly as she slowly finds her way and learns how to live again in the first year after her husband's passing. An eye-opener and a joy to read; it is a change from romantic, sappy love stories and shows you a new perspective on life.
