De: Bill Beckett

Narrado por: Bill Beckett

The Empty Side of Our Bed is a heartfelt exploration of life after loss—a raw and honest account of the profound journey through grief, from the painful “firsts” to the quiet moments of survival. In this follow-up to Love, Family, Cancer, Bill Beckett opens up about the emotional aftermath of losing a spouse, capturing the loneliness, the sorrow, and the strength required to face each new day.

This book is for anyone who has experienced the devastating loss of a loved one and is searching for understanding, healing, and hope. With unwavering transparency, Bill shares the painful process of adjusting to a life without their partner, the heart-wrenching “firsts” that follow, the bad days that seem to never end, and the quiet victories of rebuilding a new life after the old one is gone.

The Empty Side of Our Bed doesn’t shy away from the dark days but also offers a message of hope: that even in the midst of unimaginable loss, it’s possible to find new strength and create a life that honors the past while embracing the future.

Raw, Impactful, Worthwhile Read

Beckett returns with a powerful round II—this next-level “sequel” to his first book—offering fresh insight and a deeper exploration of the journey of grief. We dream of finding the love of our lives, but rarely consider the cost of having that great love everyone envies. It comes at a very high price.

What Beckett does so skillfully is avoid the tempting “deal with the devil” narrative that focuses only on the devastation of loss. Instead, he invites the reader into the complex emotional landscape of what life actually looks and feels like after the fairy tale ends. He allows us to hold onto the gifts of having loved, rather than being frightened away from ever daring to love deeply again.

Despite the hardships he shares, Beckett helps the reader understand the true value of loving with such authenticity. By the end, you’re left with a quiet reassurance: if you are married to the love of your life and know that someday one of you must say goodbye, you can survive it—and you can find meaning again.
