Larry’s Bones. A Journey of Grief and Healing - Margy Crosby-Jones

Newly married, Margy and Larry were on their way to Australia with Margy’s two daughters for a one-year teacher exchange. While in Fiji for a short family honeymoon, their idyllic holiday became an unimaginable tragedy when Larry got caught in a rip tide and drowned. In dealing with the devastating aftermath through the police and Fijian customs, Margy was opened to a new way of thinking about death and loss. Her experiences at the beach, the autopsy, the pyre and cremation, all while enveloped in a compassionate net of support, became a spiritual and life-changing event.

As the years pass by and retirement prompts new reflections, Margy’s determination allowed her to greet her next stage of life with openness and honesty. In her riveting memoir, she considers what she has been clinging to and what she intends to release.
