After many years in a happy, loving marriage author, Victoria D. Schmidt, lost her husband, Ralph, to Parkinson’s disease. She discovered several havens including scores of publications that helped her with her grief and gave her a sense of peace. However, Victoria felt there was a need for a book, a single volume that would offer women a wide range of resources … people, places, websites, organizations and more … to find solace and gratifying, new life options. She undertook the task herself. The result is Finding Solitary Contentment. As she worked on the manuscript for this book, she was inspired to create a companion piece, a gift book illustrated with photos of lotus. Remembering the Loved One You Lost is a little book with a big heart for anyone who has lost someone dear. Ms Schmidt lives in Oldwick, New Jersey with Dominique, her gentle whippet.
