Great little book November 20, 2008
This is a great little book for the recently widowed. It answers those questions no one around you seems to be able to. We are not familiar with grief and its affect so dealing with it is so hard. Nice tips for dealing with people, making decisions, grieving. Easy to read and understand.

A Second Bible for Widows November 20, 2008
I found this book after my husband died eight years ago. It was the most helpful of anything I read. I don't recommend reading it cover-to-cover if you are newly widowed. There are chapters you just won't be ready to hear. But if you just look up the questions you have as they occur, you will eventually read it all and will find the answers you need when you are ready for them. The best example I can remember is when I wondered what to do about wearing my wedding rings. This isn't something you can go and ask your children or your friends. It's very personal. The author gives a thoughtful array of solutions, and all you have to do is pick the one that works best for you - or use the suggestions to form your own solution. It was also very helpful to me in getting through those famous "firsts" -- the first anniversary, the first Christmas, the first everything - without him. I believe every widow will find some helpful answers from this book that will make the going a little easier.

Bought this for a dear friend ... her favorite November 12, 2008
When a dear friend recently lost her husband in an accident, I did not have personal experience to relate. I searched Amazon and picked four of the highly rated books to send her hoping at least one would be helpful to her. She enjoyed them all, but called me especially thanking me for this one. She said that, out of all the books, this one was the most practical, helpful book. She said it made her feel that her feelings were "normally abnormal" - meaning that they were very normal feelings for an abnormal, unplanned situation - she said it helped her feel that the immense emotions associated with her loss were not hers alone but were "normal" for such a very difficult situation and that others had survived the grieving process. I told her I would put her thoughts here so others who want to reach out to a friend in a similar situation would feel comfortable purchasing this book. God bless all who have lost their dear companions. Our prayers and thoughts reach out to you.

It's ok, what you are feeling September 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book is very helpful to me. It validates all the range of emotions I'm experiencing. Being a widow can feel very lonely at times, and this book is helping me feel less alone, seeing that other women are going through a very similar process. I continue to read and re-read parts of it. I would highly recommend this book.
