When Your Husband Has Died - a Survival Guide Corinne Edwards

If you are a widow - even a new one - hold on to your hat - you will find unvarnished truth that will make you feel you are sitting in your kitchen with a best friend. Everything from money to children, moving, depression, feeling paralyzed with fear and grief, getting out and finally - even the thought of (gasp!) dating again. This is a book on handling the loss of a husband written for widows by a widow and covers the practical challenges in adjusting. Most books on grieving are based on spirituality alone and do not answer the question, "But what do I do tonight?" It discusses things you think about but rarely share. And how to handle advice from so many people who are well-meaning but useless in being helpful. Inspired by a blog post, it is expanded from 2000 words to a full book. Over 3000 widows have contributed their stories anonymously to that post. It is dedicated to them who I have come to love the way they love, support and comfort each other. This book was needed - so I wrote it for you.
