About When You Lose Your Soulmate, Do You Lose
Product Description Elaine Alquist has had a remarkable life. From wife and mother to California State Senator, her adventures put her in the company of both those in dire need, and those with power. Elaine worked with or had the honor of meeting Presidents,Vice Presidents, governors, Silicon Valley CEOs, Hollywood stars, Walter Cronkite,and astronaut John Glenn. Aftera divorce, she married her soulmate, a senator thirty-six years her senior, who mentored, nurtured, protected, and unconditionally loved her. Al died in the wee hours of their thirteenth wedding anniversary at age ninety-seven. Then Elaine miraculously survived a freak accident that included a seemingly paranormal event, involving the protective spirit of her late husband, that left her injured but alive. With her boundless faith, high energy, great enthusiasm, and many talents, she was able to overcome the grief and hopelessness that engulfed her in the aftermath and find happiness again with her "permanent fiancé" Duncan, who has become Elaine's co-pilot in their adventurous "teenage" senior years. In this poignant memoir, Elaine pours her heart out while sharing her intimate journey. It is a message of hope, love, grief, and joy. Elaine discovers that in losing her soulmate, she does not lose herself, but in fact finds her stronger, more vibrant self in the process. Review A must read for anyone who thinks they are in love or wants to be in love. A true love story... ~Tom Bird, Best Selling Author "Most autobiographers give the reader not only a sense of the passage of their lives, but at least,as well, a glimpse into their inner cores. Elaine K. Alquist is certainly no exception--in fact, she excels at both, revealing a strong girl who grows into an even stronger woman, with accomplishments throughout her life. Her impact & influence upon thousands of her friends and constituents are gloriously obvious, and we revel along with her at her life." ~Robert Mayes, autobiographical writing instructor (retired) "Former California State Senator Alquist has written a compelling memoir of her Greek childhood,her years in the senate and the men in her life who taught her strength and perseverance,Senator Alfred Alquist and her 'permanent fiancé, Duncan. Thoughtfully written and insightful, this compelling memoir tells the story of loves lost and found and a spirit rekindled. "A compelling story filled with emotion, truth and finally ....hope." ~Joyce Bridwell Schwegel,college friend, retired educator. "Elaine has a gift for creative and picturesque language and a solid understanding of hard work.... This story is told straightforwardly, with a wonderful narrative voice, which engages the reader fully until we feel that we are in a privileged conversation with her. This sense of immediacy makes this a terrific memoir, and is often lacking in weaker books." ~Idony Lisle.

Through my story, I have discovered my own strength and power. Throughout my life, I often held back, reluctant to assert myself or ask for help. Now, I do ask for help, command respect, and express my needs more fully. Through the encouragement I received from Al and Duncan, I grew to believe in myself. This has enabled me to find lasting peace and happiness within. I admire the men I have loved for the wonderful traits I've seen within each of them, which I now know are much the same traits that I value within myself. So, when we lose a soulmate, losing them may feel a bit like losing ourselves. But the beauty and love we discover around us is really a reflection of our own soul, our own beauty and our own love, as like always attracts like. So we are essentially our own soulmates.
