Letters to Betty

Reeling and numb after the death of her beloved husband Don, Mary Bub turned to writing to navigate the journey from grief and despair to healing and purpose. In Letters to Betty, Bub describes how a metaphorical grief box and penning frequent notes to an imaginary recipient, ＂Betty＂, helped her process her emotions and discover her new self in the year following Don’s passing. Her raw, honest letters describe a path that began with anguish, sadness, and loneliness, and led her to a place of gratitude, calm, and courage. Reading Bub’s letters is like talking to a close friend. They provide comfort and inspiration to others traveling through their own journey of loss.
