Excerpt

Sarah sat on the bench in her garden, surrounded by the flowers that she had planted with her husband. She could still smell his cologne on the petals of the roses. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, remembering the way he used to hold her in his arms.

She had been so happy with him. They had built a life together, full of love and laughter. But then he was gone, and Sarah's world had fallen apart.

In the months after his death, Sarah had retreated into herself. She had stopped going to work, and she had barely left the house. She had no interest in anything, and she felt like she was just going through the motions of life.

But then she started to spend more time in her garden. She would sit on the bench for hours, watching the flowers grow and bloom. And as she tended to her plants, she began to feel a sense of peace that she had not felt in a long time.

The garden was a place where Sarah could grieve for her husband. She could cry there, and she could talk to him. She could tell him about her day, and she could ask him for advice. And even though he was no longer there, Sarah felt like he was listening.

But the garden was also a place of hope. As Sarah watched her plants grow and bloom, she began to believe that she could find happiness again. She realized that life was still worth living, even though it would never be the same without her husband.

The Cure for the Garden is a story about love, loss, and renewal. It is a story about the power of the human spirit, and it is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
