This loving family had thought they had the rest of their lives together. One minute her husband and children's father was here... and the next he was gone. While you may think that because of her profession it may have been easier to cope for Dr Olga, she knew the theories of grief, and had helped so many women deal with these circumstances before... right? But when her husband Mick died, she threw away the theories and became a woman, just like other widows, she learned to embrace and experience grief to find her New Normal. In this book, Olga shares what she learnt, how she and her children coped and how she's helped other widow's cope too. Dr Olga does this in the hope that anyone experiencing grief may find a little peace as they uncover their New Normal too.
