The Absence Of Sifu G

<p>Gary George Elferis 8th degree Grandmaster of martial arts. Most everyone called him Sifu G.</p><p>When we got married Gary promised me a lifetime filled with lots of laughter. He made good on that promise. Our journey took us places we never imagined and we ultimately settled in Costa Rica. How was I to know that six years later I'd be on the journey alone? Gary died on November 2 2022.</p><p>The Absence of Sifu G started as a journal an attempt to cope each day during his illness and after his death. At one point I decided my journal had to be a book that might help others with their grieving.</p><p>My life without Gary was a journey of climbing out of an abyss so deep I thought I would never behold the light again.</p>
