Some people felt that I did not spend enough time writing about the difficulties women face when they have an unsupportive partner or no partner at all. They were right.
On 17th April 2019, Sheryl shared a wedding photo with her late husband and explored her love with the caption:
5 years ago today I had the honor and privilege of marrying Dave. And while we can’t be together to mark our anniversary, I’m celebrating him today for all he taught me; the two amazing children he gave me, and our love which endures to this day. My prayers go to everyone who is living an Option B. May you find comfort in memories and joy in the present.
