After Lucy’s husband, Ron, passes, she moves in with her son and daughter-in-law until she feels strong enough to make her next move. Things start off great, with Eve caring for her as she would for her own mother. But then, Eve gets too comfortable and throws all her chores to Lucy. What will Lucy do next?
Isn’t life supposed to get easier once you retire?
That’s what I always thought, but after my husband, Ron, passed away a month ago, nothing seemed easy anymore. The house we shared for so many years felt too big and too quiet without him.

The silence became deafening, especially at night when all I had were my thoughts and the empty spaces where Ron used to be.
I couldn’t stand being alone in that house, so I made a decision. I asked my son, Connor, if I could live with him and his wife, Eve, for a while.
Connor didn’t hesitate, bless him.
