LETTERS TO HEAVEN
The loss of a loved one leaves a void and the challenge of learning to live with the emptiness of their absence. Each person deals it in a unique and personal way. In my case, I leaned on my faithful friend, writing, through the letters I wrote to Juan during the twelve months after his passing.
In «Letters to heaven» I share those letters. Letters that helped me get through the first few months without him, but by his side, among memories, dreams, and silences. Through them, I gradually found a way to adapt to my new life: a life I had not chosen and for which I was not prepared.
Reader reviews
‘A marvellous description of the journey that is the loss of a loved one. Brave in sharing her experiences, not only of sadness, but also of joy and the enjoyment of solitude. An unwanted solitude, which in the end, may be what helps you enjoy the small, great things in life.’
Esther C.
´The book describes Tatiana’s intimacy, her fears, doubts, weaknesses and, above all, her unconditional LOVE for Juan and her children, who are a very important part of the driving force behind their lives. The other part is her determination to move forward, to live.´

‘ Few times have I experienced a story as intense as this one. A book that transforms pain and frustration into love and hope. It teaches us that pure feelings do not die in life, but are as eternal as the galaxies in the universe. ’

Through her letters, Tatiana fulfils her need to continue sharing her daily life with her great love, teaching us about the great capacity for learning that human beings possess, and how fortunate we are to be able to learn from her.´

OUR LAST YEAR TOGETHER
During our lifetime, we will all experience a situation similar to the one I went through: losing a loved one after an illness. It is something we do not want to be aware of, we do not want to accept it, let alone prepare for it.
In ‘Our Last Year Together,’ I share how cancer unexpectedly entered in our lives. I describe how I experienced that process, the need to accept the things that were happening to us in life, to make decisions in the most difficult moments, to adapt to the changes that were taking place in my life: to understand, comprehend, and accept all my emotions. To accompany him on the journey of farewell with love and compassion.
To do so, I relied on gratitude and love, which helped me face the most difficult situations with greater serenity. This allowed me to discover that even in the most difficult situations in life, there is always a ray of sunshine that breaks through the storm to give us a moment of hope in uncertainty, happiness in sadness, and serenity in pain.
