The Wonderful Widowhood World: If You Give Friendship with God a Try (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781959623724)

Judy Towne Jennings enjoyed a career as a physical therapist before life's challenges took her down the paths of caregiving and then widowhood. Her first book, Living with Lewy Body Dementia, One Caregiver's Personal, In-Depth Experience has helped caregivers across the globe.

With this book, she chronicles her 15-year widowhood journey. It is a mesmerizing story of inspired discussions with God, amazing miracles, and proven strategies for any widow. The power of humor, self-love, and renewed passion in life can be strong motivators to become joyful.

Ms. Jennings helped start three widow support groups. She has added experiences that show how her widows managed their grief, accepted their losses, and learned to move forward to meaningful adventures. One woman became a caregiver for baby feral kittens until an organization could find homes for them. Another lady, at 75, encouraged her widowed friends to find a life partner using an on-line dating site. Ms. Jennings adds hints for dating safety.

Through all chapters, the impact of a friendship with God is encouraged. Because she has lived without faith and later with a strong faith, Ms. Jennings tries to show the workings of God in her life on a daily basis. It replaces the worry and fear with kindness and blessings...some so miraculous that they could only be orchestrated by a loving God.

This book works well for widow support groups. Questions are added in an appendix to help groups have in-depth discussions. A fervent desire is for all widows to realize that life can be magnificent, breath-taking, and joyful if they can give friendship with God a try.
