My Dead Husband Married Another Woman

My husband, Chace, died six years ago, plunging off the Bixby Creek Bridge and leaving me a widow at twenty-four. Every year on my birthday, I visited that cliff's edge, placing white lilies and mourning a ghost. Until today, when a single photo on Instagram shattered my grief, revealing that my dead husband was very much alive and celebrating his sixth wedding anniversary with another woman.

For six years, I’d grieved Chace Woodward, ritualistically visiting Bixby Creek Bridge on my birthday to place lilies for the man whose car vanished there.
