A Widow's Guide to Healing

I hope I don't have to make personal use of this book anytime soon, but it's almost inevitable that the day will come someday; and I'll be glad to have read this book - and I'll read it again. There is so much valuable information in this book for a widow, not the least being an anchor and the feeling of a friend showing the way in unfamiliar territory.

One of the most helpful aspects of the book is the inclusion of interviews with widows of every age and circumstance. It helps to hear their stories - to know others understand how you are feeling.

With a whole generation of baby-boomers reaching old age and inevitable death, this is a book that will be of help to many.

When Kristin Meekhof lost her husband to cancer, she discovered what all widows learn: the moment you lose your partner, you must make crucial decisions that will impact the rest of your life. But where do you begin? This inspiring book shows grieving widows what to expect and how to deal with the challenges of losing a life partner. From immediate issues like finances, estates and medical bills to long-term hurdles such as single parenthood, being a widow in the workplace and navigating social situations by yourself, this book guides widows through the tumultuous and painful first five years to a more hopeful future. Though I am not a widow I found this book to have a wealth of information. I have recommended it to a few friends who have suffered the loss of a spouse.
