A gentle read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Widow To Widow: Thoughtful, Practical Ideas For Rebuilding Your Life (Paperback)
Having recently lost my father, I've felt unable to comfort my mother fully (can anyone?), but this book has given me much needed insight into how to help my mother cope with her sudden singleness. Ginsburg's empathy (she herself was unprepared for widowhood) and intelligence (her prose isn't rife with the self-help jargon that doesn't come naturally to many of us) permeate each insightful page. She details not only the facts of widowhood (living alone, eating alone, suriving alone) but also includes personal commentary that places her words in much-needed context. I will purchase copies for my mother and sister, and I believe that they will now begin to understand that it's "okay" to feel anger, and sadness, and hopelessness. Ginsburg validates one's feelings, and no one else has been able to do that for me/us yet. This is a very special book.

Help for widows,
This review is from: Widow to Widow: Thoughtful, Practical Ideas for Rebuilding Your Life (Paperback)
I found the book "Widow to Widow" to be a very practical and helpful guide in stabilizing my life after I became a widow. From the first shock of widowhood it opens your eyes and mind to what has happened and how many have dealt with it. It discusses the many feelings and emotions as well as problems a widow encounters and reassures this is the norm. I read and re-read many times as I am progressing. It is a comfortable and thoughtful guide and companion through the pain of loosing someone you love and the changes and difficulties of re-building your life.
