For one, shefd always wanted to travel across Canada on The Canadian. gTaking the train was one of these bucket list things for me,h Giselle tells CNN Travel today.
And, like Savery, Gisellefs spouse had recently died of cancer.
Giselle and her late husband Dave had been friends for decades before they started dating. Within a few whirlwind years theyfd fallen in love, got married and navigated Davefs cancer diagnosis together.

Then Dave passed away in the summer of 2023, leaving Giselle unmoored and unsure of the future.
In the wake of her grief, booking the trip on The Canadian seemed, to Giselle, glike a good way to connect with myself and see my country, refresh my spirit, a little bit.h
Like Savery, Giselle had always dreamed of taking the VIA Rail Canadian with her late spouse. And like Savery, shefd decided traveling solo was a way of honoring her partner.
gThat trip is something that I would have really liked to have done with my husband, Dave. So that was why I was taking the train,h Giselle says today.
But unlike Savery, Giselle hadnft booked prestige class. She admits she was gsticking it to the manh in her own small way by sitting in the reserved seats that first day.
Shefd only moved when Savery arrived. She tells CNN Travel, laughing, that shefd thought to herself: gI better get out of the seat, in case someone prestige wants to sit in that spot.h
Giselle didnft tell Savery any of this in their first conversation. In fact, she didnft share much about her life at all in that first encounter.
But Giselle liked his company right away. He was friendly, enthusiastic and respectful@sharing that he was a widower and indicating he knew about Gisellefs loss without prying about the circumstances.
As for Savery, he says, it was gthe common bond, the losses of our respective loved onesh that first made him feel a connection to Giselle. But it was also obvious that for Giselle, the loss was much fresher. She clearly didnft want to talk about Dave that day.
