Traveling with Ghost

 

Traveling with Ghost is a memoir written by Shannon Leone Fowler. It was beautiful, sad, and reminded you of what the journey of life is all about. Every bump in the road I feel like is a test, a chance to allow growth, and opportunity to lead you to the next thing. 
Shannon and her husband on their honeymoon when one evening they take a swim. As they are swimming her husband is stung by a box jellyfish. One of the most venomous jellyfish in the world if I'm not mistaken. They are known to kill you instantly if they get you good. Her husband dies pretty fast. And shannon meets two women that help her through her first few days without them. 
The story goes on to tell of a journey Shannon goes on traveling the world. Shannon visits many places some with some haunting memories just as disturbing as the events she witnessed with her husband. Through this whole book she fights her emotions not really mourning properly like in the movie I watched Ride the Wave. But we can't really be taught to mourn someone we are really close to it just happens and we learn as we take each step and take each breathe. 
This story took me awhile to read a few years because the way I read i pick up a book, then start several others and get back to books I read chunks at a time. This book deserves a good read by someone else. Give it a try look it up. If your having trouble mourning someone her ghostly tale will help you.
