His family embraced Connie when they realized she was polite smart and self-made. She became the star of the family. Berry lovingly describes Connies qualities character ethics as well as her professional career. He observes that even though hes been in tremendous pain since she died he would have never had such a long and happy marriage if he and Connie had not loved each other so much. Connie and Pradeep both considered themselves as two bodies and one soul and he hopes they will again be two bodies and one soul in the next life.Reviews for the previous edition: A debut author pays tribute to his deceased wife in this memoir. The prose style is sometimes stilted and other times histrionic. However it occasionally achieves moments of quiet lyricism as a result it doesnt have much to teach readers about how to get over a loss. Rather its a raw document of the middle of grief and all the emotions that come with it. An emotional elegy thats somewhat undisciplined in style.- Kirkus ReviewsWhen a loved one dies the grief can be overwhelming. For some survivors this grief manifests in all different manners of behaviors in an effort to keep the memory of that lost loved one alive. For Mr. Berry in the aftermath of the death of his beloved wife of 41 years it manifested in him writing this loving tribute My Connie.- Pacific Book ReviewIn 2015 author Pradeep Berry lost his wife of 41 years. His new memoir however isnt an account of moving through grief to healing; rather its a repository of his pain. Like a personal journal its entries reflect his roller-coaster emotional state recurrent thoughts about his wifes death and grief-stricken lamentations.- BlueInk ReviewMy Connie is a heartfelt if repetitive account of a husbands grief.- Foreword Reviews
