title: An Irish Christmas
author:  Melody Carlson 
description: "I still faulted myself with the fact that I had never been over the moon for Hal.... I'd been the best wife I knew how to be, and yet, in my mind, it was never enough. Never equal to what Hal poured out over me.... And with him gone now, I felt even more like a failure--a phony. And I feared this shroud of guilt would follow me to my grave and perhaps even haunt me thereafter."
