Hello, My question was since I read that Annie Dillard's husband (I think his name was Gary) died before she wrote the Essay "The Total Eclipse" if that is true...?

It would be really helpful if somebody could find some proof that I could use as quote in my Essay. because for me it seems like she is in some kind of a grieving process when she wrote that essay.

I think his full name was Gary Clevidence.

Thanks already for your help!
