Finding Your Way After Your Spouse Dies. This item is unavailable.Finding Your Way After Your Spouse Dies

There is nothing you need more than the warm, reassuring voice of one who has traveled this path before. . . and survived after suffering the death of a spouse. In Finding Your Way After Your Spouse Dies, Marta Felber offers just such a voice-caring, hopeful, always pointing ahead to a tomorrow that will be a little easier than today. Having experienced her own spouse's death, Felber is never glib or simplistic. She knows the grief her readers are feeling and she encourages them to give it full expression. At the same time, she offers sound, practical suggestions on how to navigate difficult days. This book shies away from none of the difficult issues of bereavement. Felber gently urges her readers toward careful, honest examination of the issues they face.

Marta Felber has worked as a counselor, social worker, and educational consultant in various locations in the United States and abroad. She did social work in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and counseling in the Palisades School District, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

During those years she also served in a consultant role, working with teaching staffs at international schools in Nepal, India, and Bangladesh.

She returned to the United States and entered private practice in counseling, combined with leading groups and workshops. After the death of her husband, Felber wrote two books about the grieving process, Grief Expressed When a Mate Dies and Finding Your Way after Your Spouse Dies. She currently lives in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
