Widower: My journey through the valley of grief. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781737229957)

Losing your wife is devastating, an unimaginable heartache. Will there ever be a day when every thought you think doesn't start with her name? Will there ever be a day that isn't drenched in sorrow and sadness? How do you find your way forward when your heart is broken? This is the widower's dilemma.

What arrangements need to be made immediately following your wife's death? How will your finances change? What do you do with her clothes, jewelry, and other things? Where should you live? If you need a therapist to help manage your grief, how will you find one? All of the tasks that she used to do now fall to you. How will you manage? How long will you wear your wedding ring? How will you face life without her?

Time is no healer. Every loss and every survivor is unique. Ultimately, you're forced to find your own way through your bereavement. I wrote this book to share my journey through the first two years mourning the loss of my wife. My hope is that parts of it will be helpful to you as you deal with each of the challenges that confront you in the days and months ahead.
