**THIS STORY WAS WRITTEN WITH MY HUSBAND AND IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM MY USUAL WORKS. ENJOY!** People grieve in many ways, but spending time with your ethereal wife isn't one of them. When Everett's wife, Renee, leaves their life behind, he's stuck trying to pick up the pieces of his broken marriage. He knows he has to get himself back out there, but it feels impossible for someone like him—an anxious, germaphobic mess. Determined to figure out how to navigate life with his dearly departed wife, Everett goes on a journey of self-discovery. But with Renee appearing at the most inconvenient and intimate times, Everett is certain he’ll be stuck in purgatory alongside his wife forever. Will he figure out why Renee made her final decision? Can Everett find his happily ever after? Till death do us part... Or not. AfterWife is a dark humor paranormal dramedy with romantic elements. This third-person POV story still has some spice and triggers, however, which includes suicide, some sexual content, and mental health issues.
