Conversations With A Widow

<p>Being widowed isn't something I'd heard talked about much. I'd assumed that following a time of grieving the loss of a partner life would just go back to the way it was like a train coming out the other end of a long dark tunnel. Everything - and everyone - would be there waiting for me to emerge so we could pick up where we left off. <strong>But after losing my husband I discovered that losing a partner was just the beginning.</strong> A string of secondary losses - loss of friends loss of faith a loss of identity - left me feeling lost alone and a little crazy. </p><p>As I came out of the fog of my own grief I discovered that the end of my tunnel wasn't where I thought it would be. And there wasn't much in Widowland that was familiar to me.</p><p>In this book I talk about things I wish someone had talked to me about when I was first widowed. <strong>It is my hope that this work will serve as a resource for you that the conversations you read here will be flickering candle to help light your way on your own widow journey; a glimmer of hope to know that you are not crazy and you are not alone</strong></p>
