Recovery - Guglielmo

. .

Résumé :
Recovery after the loss of a loved one, is a time of searching, reaching, trying to find reasons to go on. After the loss of my wife Angela, the journey became a never-ending search for hope and peace of mind. As individuals we all have our own way of coping with life and loss, but there is no doubt we cannot travel this road totally alone. In recovery, the examples that came to my rescue, were varied and truly a blessing. Counseling, bereavement groups, family, friends, and the blessing of memories, are all ingredients that we can lean on in our struggle for peace of mind.

Biographie:
Guglielmo was born in Port Chester, New York. At eighteen years of age, he joined the US Navy, serving four years during the Korean War. For four decades, Guglielmo served as a vice president of Greenwich Federal Savings and Loan Association prior to his retirement. He and his beloved wife Angela were the proud parents of four children. They were married for fifty years before her passing with pancreatic cancer. He currently resides in Hamden, Connecticut. I was born in Port Chester New York, the youngest of eight children. My mother and father, Arcangelo and Rose Vincoli, were both immigrants from Italy. Two of the hardest working people I have ever known. Graduated from Port Chester High School in 1950. Joined the Navy immediately following graduation, and served for four years. The highlight of my life was when I met my wife Angela at Rye Beach. It was a casual encounter, and we never met again, until a friend asked me if I wanted to meet a nice Italian girl. I said yes, and there she was, the beautiful girl from Rye Beach. We courted and eventually married. I was overwhelmed by the fact that she said yes. But it was true and wonderful relationship ensued. In my wildest dreams, did I ever imagine becoming an author? Never, however, fate intervened and somehow, I Take Thee Angelo was born. From the depths of my heart and soul, came the story in the form of poetry. It became my goal in life to make it a legacy for Angela. The inspiration to publish was to perhaps give an incentive to other about how important it is to love and be loved. That is my hope and my purpose. There is nothing in my life that could ever replace what Angela and I blessed to share.
