520    Reality, as Eileen Robertson Hamra perceived it, 
       instantaneously altered the moment authorities confirmed 
       that the plane her husband was piloting had crashed, and 
       he had not survived. In the process of mourning her loss, 
       with three young children in tow, where Eileen wandered 
       and landed was nothing short of miraculous. Between the 
       valleys of grief and the peaks of hope, she discovered 
       that keeping promises to the dead is a lifelong act, and 
       honoring one love does not mean foregoing the freedom and 
       joy that is found in reopening your heart, trusting in new
       love, and expanding your definition of family.  Three days
       before Christmas 2011 and just two miles from her parents'
       home, Eileen Roberston Hamra's husband, Brian, died alone,
       flying his own airplane. Overnight, Eileen lost the man 
       she loved, and her three young children lost their father.
       Brian's parents lost their son, his younger sister lost 
       her big brother, and hundreds of people working across the
       globe in the tech and solar energy industries lost their 
       mentor, their leader, their guide. Al Gore sent his 
       condolences. After holding bicoastal celebrations of 
       Brian's life, for weeks, months, a year, Eileen and her 
       children wrapped themselves in his clothing, and cocooned.
       Each night, under the balmy black-blue skies of Southern 
       California, they cried, hugged, and pressed forward in 
       ways they knew Brian would have wanted them to. Through 
       the rollercoaster ride of loss and mourning, they were 
       buoyed by friends, teachers, strangers, angels, and of 
       course, family. Despite the dark sense of having been 
       gutted, in fact because of the shadowy pangs of emptiness 
       she experienced, Eileen learned new ways in which to shine
       a light and make her way toward feeling whole again. She 
       transformed longing and loneliness into wisdom and wonder.
       She became more patient, compassionate, balanced, joyful, 
       and loving than she had ever thought possible. Time to Fly
       is the story of how one woman chose to view the tragedy of
       her husband's death as an opportunity to strengthen the 
       bond with her children, and to wake up to her life's 
       purpose. It is one woman's high-flying and turbulent 
       journey to taking full possession of her potential by 
       breaking beyond what she thought she would, should, and 
       could do. Eileen Robertson Hamra moved through grief 
       toward healing via a tough and magical spiritual 
       awakening. Making a series of conscious choices and paying
       attention to a string of "coincidences" and otherworldly 
       signs, she eventually met another wonderful man, Mike. 
       They fell in love, got married, and set a well-respected 
       IVF clinic record by giving birth to a miracle child when 
       Eileen was forty-six years old. Time to Fly is a memoir 
       not only for the bereaved and those who support them, but 
       for anyone who believes in the power of finding the silver
       lining in the darkest of situations and holding on to that
       sliver of light, in order to turn things around. We do not
       have complete control over our limited time on this 
       remarkable planet, and so in the time we do have, we must 
       hold one another, build softness alongside resilience, and
       write our own flight plan.
