Customer Reviews

a good friend for recent widows

This book was given to me when I was grieving for my husband, and I found that Mrs Convissor was able to put in writing all that I was going through. I was so thankful to have this book to relate to. It was my favorite among the ones that I read. I wish all the bookstores carried it!

Good grief

This book is a gem. Written by a reporter who was herself widowed at a young age, it contains her interviews with various other young widows. Lacking melodrama or maudlin tendencies, the book instead takes an empathetic, clear-eyed look at death and its ramifications. Whether they're struggling through grief while trying to feed a gaggle of youngsters or simply trying to help those kids deal with their own sense of loss, these women are examples of courage to any young widow in need of a kind, honest friend. Unfortunately, the book is no longer in print, and very hard to track down.
