A Widow's Love Story: Living Through the First Year and Beyond (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798336043617)

Dear Reader,

A Widow's Love Story is for you if you've ever loved deeply. You'll appreciate the sentiments about the loss of a precious spouse. May these words in A Widow's Love Story encourage you.

Then again, if you're young and looking to define the relationship that makes for a great marriage, the thoughts in A Widow's Love Story will inspire you.

It's been said the deep pain of loss proves the depth of love. This may be true. I only know the intensity of my own pain. From sharing my journey with other widows, I've learned grieving isn't dependent on a marriage's length, but the closeness of your relationship.

I realize defining a new life when you only long for the one you've lost is incredibly hard. Recovery seems impossible at times, but God will be with you every step of the way. Let Him comfort and guide you, as only He can.

"The tone of this book shines through so clearly. It's like you are sitting on the couch next to a new friend, and you are sharing from your heart so clearly and authentically and beautifully. I like how you've structured the book with each month of your journey for a year."
Catherine DeVries, editor and author of My Time with God, Tennessee

"Judith has allowed us to listen to the heart of lament and find Jesus waiting. She has invited us to walk a path with her that cannot be understood until you are on that path. Her invitation allows us to truly and deeply see a grieving heart, and in so doing allows us to know how to walk with those in this depth of grief, even if we have not experienced it ourselves. As a pastor, I have been impacted in inexpressible ways that will allow me to shepherd more lovingly and kindly those in this journey. Thank you, Judith, for this remarkable gift."
Pastor Chuck Cervenka, Senior Pastor, Calvary Community Church, Williams Bay, Wisconsin

"How insightful it was to get even a glimpse of your love for your spouse, the deep heartache of losing him, and the hope you held onto for the present time and for the future. What a wonderful book to read for a married woman who seeks to treasure her husband and for a grieving widow alike."
Jennifer Ostrander, Round Lake Beach, Illinois
