- Till Death Do Us Part - Then What ???

By Helen Bass

10 Widows tell their stories of how they survived the death of their husbands. Although they each lost a husband, the way they adjusted to their life as a widow was not the same. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Part 1 of this book is compiled of personal individual experiences of widows. Each of them express, in their own way, how they coped with the loss of their mate and the things that helped them the most in learning to live their "new normal life".....alone! It is the hope that their stories will resonate with readers and be a source of inspiration for widows as they deal with creating a new life for themselves. When couples recite the words, "Till death do us part," during their wedding ceremony, they never think the day will come and those words will become a reality. Instead, they want to believe in the storybook ending....."and they lived happily ever after." The Part 2 section addresses widows' experiences from a general framework. Though the section begins with scripture, some of these thoughts address both the Christian and secular beliefs. They will also apply to all people, whether they lived in a marriage that was happy or one that was devastating. Also included are recommended books and web sites that the ladies found to be helpful for them. This book can also be a wonderful gift for widows and for those who want to understand how they can support their family member or friend who has suffered the loss of her spouse. Counselors and clergy could gain insight from reading stories written by widows who have gone through the grief and learned to survive. Understanding that every person is unique and deals with loss in different ways can help them understand how to have an open mind for providing emotional and spiritual help when counseling widows.
