Having already finished reading the book "The Returned", I found out about this short story trilogy.  So I went back and read this which is intended to be read as an introduction to the book.  It also contains a preview of the novel.  In the first chapter of "The Returned" Edmund Blithe is mentioned in one sentence as being the very first reported Returned.  This is his story.  It is a story of young love, the sadness of fresh grief and the feelings of starting to accept a loved one's death after a year long mourning period.  A lovely, beautiful tale that makes one think what one would do if given the chance to spend an unknown amount of time with a dearly cherished loved one who has passed on.  It makes me wish I could read the book for the first time again!  Go ahead and whet your appetite!
