Are You A New Widow? Here’s What You Need to Know!
2nd Place Self-Help
This warm, conversational, easily digestible book is for widows—women over 50 who are beginning new lives without their husbands. In So Now You’re a Widow, the author and the 34 women she interviewed share what they wish they had known when they became widowed. As one of the women commented, “People tell you how to decorate your home, drive a car, train your dog, and plan a wedding, but no one tells you how to be a widow.”
The women frankly share their advice and experiences on 26 topics, including:
finding your inner strength
the one-size-does-not-fit-all grieving process
dealing with social invitations
changes in family dynamics
handling finances
choosing how you’re going to live your life
Plus, a journal section at the end of each chapter allows the reader to personalize what she has read and to gain insight into how she’s dealing with her situation.
The women who contributed to this book care deeply about other widowed women and want them to understand that what they are experiencing is normal and has been experienced in one form or another by others. You are not alone!
