Wonderwall-the person you are deeply infatuated with, the person you cannot live without. But what happens if you have to continue living after you lost a part of your soul? Can you look up into the sky and smile with unbearable pain chuncking your heart in thousands of pieces? Holly seems to have found the answers when she has risen from the ashes after losing the most important person in her entire life-her loving husband Gerry. The problem is you think you have time but you do not. You waste your energy and time on rows and unnecessary arguments while you should be out there enjoying walks in nature, hugging your favorite person and telling them you love them. That is exactly what happened to Holly Kennedy. She thought she had time but fate had its own selfish plan. Gerry passed away only a few months after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. Before his death, Holly quit her job and devoted her time to help and be with her husband as long as she can. During nights in which he peacefully slept beside her she thought of all the ways they could have made their remaning days better. By kissing ,cuddling in front of the telly, making love in the morning,enjoying that cup of coffe before their shifts but instead she let him fall asleep angry with her, constantly complaining about her job and having no time for him because she was too exhausted. If she only knew... It has been two months since Gerry passed away. She did not shower,eat or get out of the house. Her four walls were her comfort where she buried her pain and crocodile tears. But the unexpected is about to come. Before his passing, Gerry wrote her letters for each month til the end of the year to remind her to live her life even if he is not a part of it anymore. The first came on her birthday in March. Holly lived for those letters because they were the last thing Gerry touched and dedicated to her. She could not wait til the end of the month to open a new one. Meanwhile her friends and family continued living, she could not. Her friend Denise was getting married, Sharon was expecting a baby with her husband John, her sister Ciara found the love of her love in Australia, her brother Declan seems to be skyrocketing his filming career and everyone seems to have moved on but she felt like she was stuck in one place. Time stopped and she could not move forward, not without Gerry. Holly could not be happy for her friends and family even if she tried, she could not bear the thought of going out with her besties or staying up after 10PM. She became a granny but there was no moving forward. In the meantime she discovered that other people suffered too but she was not able to relise it because of her selfish thinking that she was the only one in pain. Ciara broke up, Richard lost his wife and children, Daniel lost his girlfriend to his best friends. Oh, how selfish and blind she only was. Each Gerry's letter inspired her to move on with her life, look for a new job,bond with her friends and family because she could not know how long she had with them. It is not he who should learn to live with her, it was Holly. She needed to learn how to live in a world where Gerry did not exist. In the mean time, she found a new job, witnessed her best friend get married,became the godmother of Sharon's baby boy Gerry and may found her new partner. She did not know how to live in a world where Gerry was not a part of but she had to live, she had to move on for him. He will always be the love of her life, she will always cherish the years she spent with him and no one will ever quite replace him but life was moving forward and she had too. She had to be open for new possibilities and blessings life may bring along. Life is not meant to be lived in one place. Personally,this whole book was an eye-opener. It reminded me how important the time with our loved ones is. We never know how long they are going to be around,so get out of the house. Hug your parents and siblings,kiss your partner passionately,visit your family,go for a night out with your friends,enjoy long walks in nature and picnics,watch every movie on your list,read read read,travel and never apologize for being you. Learn a lesson from Holly,stop wasting your time and energy on arguments,anger and sadness. You do not know what life may bring so go and have fun with your partner. Say sorry, stop being stubborn, do not be mad at them for something he did not do, laugh uncontrolably,love passionately and hug tightly. Holly is a survivor. She looked pain in the eyes and said "not anymore". If you are witnessing the same pain as her, just remember that your loved one would want you to find love and happiness again. You need to stay open for new possibilities,opportunities anx experiences. Your life will pass by in the blinck of an eye and what have you done? Wasted it. Go out and live it while you still can.
