A Widow's Journey: Reflections on Walking Alone

By Gayle Roper

Book Overview

Have you recently lost your husband? Are there days when you feel so terribly alone--and that no one else could possibly understand?

Author Gayle Roper understands. As a recent widow herself, Gayle writes:

So who am I now that there's only one place at the table...one pillow with a head dent, one damp towel after a shower. There's only one toothbrush in the holder. The seat is never left up anymore.

I can still write Mrs. in front of my name, but I'm no longer in a marriage relationship. You need two people for a marriage, and there's only me.

Is there only you? Then join Gayle as she draws on her emotions during the loss of her beloved husband, Chuck, and offers you a compassionate devotional to encourage you through your darkest days. Gayle knows a widow's pain is deep. But she also knows God's love is deeper still. And it's in His love you'll find your deepest comfort.

Onward through the fog

This is the most helpful "widow book" I have read so far out of several others. I'm only at 5 months since my love died and am on my 2nd reading through. Gayle (I feel like she's my friend) really speaks from the heart and I'm amazed at how similar my experience is to hers. So, I imagine others will feel the same. I also recommend her Prayers for a Widow's Journey.
