Description
How do you cope with a terminal diagnosis for your husband?
Grief affects us all; the only thing that’s different is how we deal with it to empower ourselves.
In "From Cornwall to the Andes", Barbara Webb recounts her experiences of caring for her terminally ill husband in Cornwall and, after his death, dealing with the pain of his loss. In this poignant memoir, Barbara takes us on an emotional journey from grief to self-fulfilment.
At the same time, we travel with her from Cornwall to Ecuador where she worked as a volunteer at the Teatro Bolivar, in Quito for several years. From there she went to Argentina, Colombia, Peru and Chile. Through her travels in South America she finds a new rhythm to life.
This true story is interspersed with accounts of some of her other travels, as she has visited 48 countries and lived in seven.

An inspirational and thought provoking read. Barbara has been very brave writing about her husband dying and how she felt and how she deals with life. This short book has been beautifully written.
Vanessa D, Reviewer
When husband Richard was diagnosed with terminal cancer, Barbara wanted to remain strong for him and help keep him with her at home as long as possible, one of Richard’s wishes. She was able to achieve this and he only went to hospice close to the end.
This book is a very moving account on the short time, around 18 months, from diagnosis to death. Barbara writes about her experiences in dealing with the diagnosis and the treatment, dealing with the grief and loss she felt and also what he felt. It is a lovely memoir, an emotional journey. A well written memoir from a women coping with loss and grief and will to share her experience with the world. Highly recommended for all, just to have a small insight into the world of a couple facing a terminal illness.

This book was raw and well written. The author discusses caring for her terminally ill husband and the change in her life after his death when she mourned him. The honesty from the author and her love of her husband came through in her writing.

I’ve read this book several years ago and I thought that I had given my review. It seems I didn’t.
Moving from Grief in Cornwall by Barbara M. Webb is a touching memory of her experience caring for her terminally ill husband and her journey from grief to self-fulfillment as we follow her from Cornwall to South America and share her new experiences.
