  Grief and loss are an inescapable part of mortality. In one form or another, they will touch all our lives. Yet, despite being so common, the path of grief and loss can be unbearably lonely, and healing can seem to be an unreachable destination.
   
  When Dr. Susan Walton lost her husband of 43 years during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, she found herself quarantined and completely alone, both physically and emotionally. Hundreds of miles away from her children and grandchildren, she had to find a way to navigate life as a single woman. Unsure of how to move forward, Susan Walton reached out to other widows to set up individual conversations about their experiences, what they had learned and what advice they could offer.
   
  Lunch With the Widows: What I Learned About Living After My Husband Died weaves together the insights of women who have endured profound loss and found a way forward. With tenderness and honesty, Susan offers encouragement, perspective, Christ-centered hope and practical counsel for navigating grief—especially when it feels isolating and overwhelming.

  Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton was an Anglo-Irish polar explorer whose remarkable journeys cemented his place among the most important figures of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Shackleton's story is one of daring, leadership, and resilience, traits that made him a legendary figure in the annals of exploration. 
  Born in Kilkea, County Kildare, Ireland, on February 15, 1874, Shackleton moved to Sydenham, south London, at the age of ten with his Anglo-Irish family. His early life was marked by a sense of adventure that would shape his future endeavors. Shackleton's first significant exposure to the polar regions came in 1901 when he joined Captain Robert Falcon Scott's Discovery expedition as a third officer. Although Shackleton’s time on the expedition was cut short due to health concerns, he had already proven his determination by marching to a new southern record of latitude 82°S, alongside Scott and Edward Adrian Wilson. Despite being sent home early, Shackleton had tasted the allure of the polar regions and was eager for more. 
  The opportunity came in 1907 when Shackleton led the Nimrod expedition to Antarctica. During this journey, he and three companions ventured farther south than any explorer before them, reaching 88°S, just 97 geographical miles from the South Pole. This achievement was monumental, representing the greatest advancement toward the pole at the time. In addition to their groundbreaking southern march, the team also made history by summiting Mount Erebus, Antarctica’s most active volcano. Shackleton returned a hero and was knighted by King Edward VII for his daring exploits.

Whatever creates happiness in our mind that is beautiful. All the feelings are being controlled by hormones. So, the feeling of beauty, form, flavour, fragrance, touch, music every feeling is the creation of hormones. In one word we can say everything is an illusion.
