    For a New Life

    Written by Celia Hollow

    Narrated by Paul Whitman

    About this audiobook

    In a world shadowed by grief and unresolved loss, a man finds himself struggling to reconnect with his wife after the tragic drowning of their young son. Their relationship, once built on love and mutual understanding, has eroded under the weight of sorrow, leaving them both adrift in a sea of memories and regrets. He is haunted by the past, revisiting the site of their child's death, desperate to pull his wife back from the brink of emotional collapse.
    As they both grapple with their overwhelming grief, the silence between them grows, filled only with unspoken words and unhealed wounds. The man's attempts to bring his wife back to the life they once shared are met with resistance, as she sinks deeper into a world where the echoes of their son's voice seem more real than the present. His pleas for her to return to a life of shared memories and new beginnings fall on deaf ears, as she remains anchored to the pain of what they've lost.
    In this poignant tale of love, loss, and the struggle to move forward, the couple faces an agonizing choice: to tear down the remnants of their past or to rebuild a new life from the ashes of their shared despair. The question remains whether they can find a way back to each other, or if the shadows of their grief will consume them both.

      My grandfather came to live with me. There was nowhere else for him to go. What had happened to all his children? Death, decay, exile—I hardly know. My own parents died of pain. But I must not be too gloomy, at the beginning, or you will leave me, an

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha
