Widowing: Surviving the First Year

Widowing, Surviving the First Year, belongs in every church and doctor's office as a ready handout. In no nonsense style it offers a framework for dealing with the trauma of loosing a spouse. It covers the 'how tos' which bother us. How to cope, to grieve, to understand and to take the next steps to getting on with life are all covered in practical detail.The book is sensative and supporting.It is also a book for men who are living through the loss of a wife.Professionally we give this book 5 stars. As a couple that have both lost partners we can only add our thanks to the many who praise this book.

I don't know what I would have done without this life-saving guidebook. Its practical suggestions and down to earth advice helped me to get control of my life when I was overwhelmed with grief. I will be forever thankful that I found this book when I needed it so much.

This book is so helpful that it should be given to a new widow as soon as possible! They need it when all their family or friends have gone and they are coping all alone. A great gift.

A new widow gets many empty offers of help. This little book is there when no one else is. The advice is practical and addresses many problems that are usually not even mentioned by family, the church and good friends. It would make a thoughtful gift that is sure to be appreciated. Ruth M.
