This came to an abrupt end on Memorial Day 2019 with the sudden death of Brooks' beloved husband. Without space to grieve, her loss became a yawning gulf.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Her profoundly moving memoir, <em>Memorial Days</em>, is a portrait of a larger-than-life man and a timeless love between intertwined souls that captures the joy, agony and mystery of life.
