Synopsis

Becoming a widow is a most lonely, frightening experience. Widows - Our Words and Ways is an opportunity for a widow to relate to and learn from other women who have suffered the pain and challenges of losing a spouse. Regardless of who the widow is, she will hopefully find in these pages one or more individuals to whom she will relate and numerous nuggets of wisdom to help her move forward with her life. This book aims to help and inspire widows of different ages from diverse ethnic, racial, religious, and economic backgrounds and whose spouses died under various circumstances.

"An inspiring book on a heart wrenching subject: Twenty-five widows speak for themselves, offering surprising comfort and unique survival strategies that only those who have been there could be wise enough to conceive."

§§
"I know all too well the subject of this book. If only it had existed at the time of my loss. Yet, even now, this book has given much to me. In these pages, I hear the voices of women from all walks of life, united in the sharing of yesterday's loss and tomorrow's hope. More than consolation, Widows - Our Words and Ways, offers an outreached hand."
Linda Richardson, New York Times bestselling author and Founder of Richardson, an International Sales Performance Company.
