Becoming a widow is one of the most traumatic life events that a
woman can experience. Yet, as this remarkable new collection
reveals, each woman responds to that trauma differently. Here,
forty-three widows tell their stories, in their own words. Some
were widowed young, while others were married for decades. Some
cared for their late partners through long terminal illnesses,
while others lost their partners suddenly. Some had male partners,
while others had female partners. Yet each of these women faced the
same basic dilemma: how to go on living when a part of you is gone.
Widows' Words is arranged chronologically, starting with stories of
women preparing for their partners' deaths, followed by the
experiences of recent widows still reeling from their fresh loss,
and culminating in the accounts of women who lost their partners
many years ago but still experience waves of grief. Their accounts
deal honestly with feelings of pain, sorrow, and despair, and yet
there are also powerful expressions of strength, hope, and even
joy. Whether you are a widow yourself or have simply experienced
loss, you will be sure to find something moving and profound in
these diverse tales of mourning, remembrance, and resilience.
