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 ut 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.
