The author is the sole survivor of her family and friends who were caught in a tidal wave in Sri Lanka. Swept away were her husband, two children, her parents and her best friend. How do you recover from something like that? How do you "move on" when every important person is gone? At first you plan to die yourself but as time passes you live. Do you remember your kids and compare them to their friends or do you try to forget them? Can you enjoy things they once enjoyed or do you feel guilt because they are no longer here to enjoy them. Complicated feelings never go away. I was more focused on how the author managed to survive? It is the biggest mystery of all.
