Synopsis

Hope for a Widow's Shattered World is a gathering place for women caught in the gut-wrenching aftermath of a husband's death. Wisdom and hope are laced together by the courage and stunning insights of many widows who have moved beyond the paralyzing early moments of grief to find the rebirth of joy, and finally a deeply satisfying life of contentment.A poignant, hope-instilling truth emerges from the life experiences of these women: Widowhood is unique from all other losses, demanding the re-invention of Self. This book is a detailed guide, full of practical illustrations, helping women understand the dynamics of widowhood as an aid to their passage through and beyond grief. The journey is often long and hard, but women are promised a new and courageous, hope-filled, faith-based life, which can be built out of the ashes of grief.Hope for a Widow's Shattered World begins with a declaration of a widow's pain, and moves past honest struggle to a final litany of her new-found strength, firmly grounded in God's love and grace. This book could also help widowers in their grief.
