Description
Afterimage by Carla Malden is a raw and deeply moving memoir about love, loss, and survival. When Carla’s husband Laurence — her high school sweetheart and longtime writing partner — is diagnosed with cancer, their shared world begins to unravel. What follows is a brutally honest and exquisitely written account of his illness, death, and the haunting “afterimages” that linger in the heart long after a loved one is gone.
Told with clarity and emotional precision, Malden captures the unbearable ache of grief and the slow, uncertain process of rebuilding life in its wake. More than a memoir of mourning, it is a testament to enduring love and the quiet courage of moving forward when everything familiar has disappeared.
