Sherry Margolis Still Standing

“He was smart, kind, and compassionate … with a wicked sense of humor. I think that’s what made me fall in love with him, and he always kept me laughing.
Jeffrey was also a gifted writer. He was a columnist for the Wall Street Journal and the author of several best-selling books, such as ‘The Last Lecture’ with professor Randy Pausch.
Zaslow had just published his latest book, ‘The Magic Room’- which he dedicated to our three daughters.
He was returning home from a book-signing event up north, in February 2012, when a semi-truck hit his car on an icy road.
I took three weeks off, and then I went back to work. I never even considered not going back. My dear friends and colleagues here were part of my support system. I love my job.
My girls were old enough to be on their own, and I knew I needed a reason to get up every morning. I needed to continue being me. The same person I had been, at least at work. Everyone makes their own choices, and that was the choice that was right for me.” Sherry said after the death of her beloved husband, Jeffrey Zaslow

Moving Forward

“Jeff and I were married for almost 25 years, and life without him has often been harrowing. My focus has been my job, my friends, and, most of all, my daughters. I want them to keep moving forward with their lives. I don’t want them to see themselves as victims.
Instead, I want them to feel blessed – that they were lucky to have had the best father in the world and that they’ll carry his love for them, always.
I don’t usually talk about these things publicly, but something happened that made me change my mind. A friend said something, innocently, that knocked me off my track. He said, “you got a raw deal.” He meant it kindly, but for some reason, it affected me. I started thinking, ‘yeah, I did get a raw deal,’ and I started feeling sorry for myself. That lasted for a couple of weeks, and I was miserable. But then, someone else said something that helped.
She told me that the first thing she does every day is to run through a list of things she’s grateful for – including waking up in the morning. That flipped the switch back for me and got me back on track. I’m sharing this story because we all go through hardships in life. And learning how to overcome adversity, can help us build resilience and make us stronger.”
