The dictionary defines a widow as "a woman who has outlived the man to whom she was married to at the time of his death." Deborah Spungen was someone's wife, Frank Spungen's wife. They had been married for almost 54 years. She could hardly remember a life when she wasn't Frank's wife. In the early morning hours of July 2, 2010 Frank Spungen passed away, just seven weeks after becoming ill. Deb soon realized she had no preparatory course in becoming a widow, there was no handbook to read. Her status as a person was irrevocably changed in ways that she couldn't even begin to fathom. She wondered, "Who will I be if I am not the same me that I was when I woke up this morning?'' How does one create a new life alone? Follow Spungen's story as she examines the process of reconstructing her life. In Frank's last weeks he told Deb to go home again, and so she did. She built a new life with a new home and new friends. Discover how writing her story became the key to the process. Follow as she traverses widowhood one essay at a time. Learn how she focused on what was, what is, and what could be as she discovers that she has the power to find peace and well-being again.
