Lee's death left Mark wrestling with a profound grief compounded by deep shock and nagging guilt. He was in no shape to resist when a friend pressed him to see a woman who allegedly talked with the deceased. Open to metaphysical phenomena but cynical about the ability of psychics, he decided to give her 10 minutes to make him believe she wasn’t a fraud. Within seconds she had zeroed in on the distress that Lee had felt in her abdomen, and Mark began to sob. How could she know? Anguish is Mark’s true story of the traumatic ending of a passionate roller coaster relationship, of danger signs ignored, and Lee’s belief that she knew best, right to the end. This memoir provides rare insights into one man’s method of dealing with the strong personality of his lover and with his own reluctance to intervene in her handling of a past relationship. Mark candidly shares Lee’s determination to save them both from pain, and his struggle to understand and to heal.
