THE WIDOW'S JOURNEY Feb 01, 2010
By Glenna F. Hill
"YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK"
THE WIDOW'S JOURNEY IS THE MOST HEART WRENCHING BOOK I HAVE EVER READ. MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY SIX MONTHS AGO, SO I BOUGHT THE BOOK AND I CRIED FOR MY HUSBAND AND EVERY STORY THAT WAS PUT IN IT. UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH HOSPICE YOU COULD NEVER KNOW WHAT WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH. I WOULD ADVISE EVERYONE TO BUY THIS BOOK WHETHER YOU HAVE BEEN OR MAY HAVE SOMEONE DEAR TO YOU THAT MAY HAVE TO GO THROUGH HOSPICE. MY HEART HURTS DAILY FOR MY LOSS AND THOSE WHO HAVE LOST SOMEONE OR THOSE WHO ARE HELPING A FAMILY THAT HAS TO JUST STAND AND WATCH UNTIL THEY TAKE THEIR LAST BREATHE. I HAVE HAD TO DO IT WITH MY HUSBAND AND FATHER BOTH,, AND YES I CRY DAILY AND ASK GOD WHY? I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR HOW OTHER PEOPLE CAN CARRY ON I HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME OF IT. BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PEOPLE YOUNG AND OLD TO BUY THIS BOOK AND KNOW AHEAD OF TIME WHAT SO MANY OF US HAVE GONE THROUGH AND HAVE NO EARTHLY IDEA HOW TO GO FORWARD BUT TO PRAY AND SOMETIMES WE WONDER IF GOD HEARS US. AFTER BEING MARRIED FOR 49 YEARS YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I SET IN 24/7 EXCEPT CHURCH NIGHTS AND IT GETS VERY LONELY . THIS IS ONE BOOK YOU WILL REMEMBER THE REST OF YOUR LIFE BECAUSE SOMETIME DOWN THE ROAD YOU WILL BE TOUCHED BY THIS.

A lttle book that offers a lot of help Jul 27, 2009
By P. Goodpastor
"RN"
The manner in which the author has woven her personal story and the stories of other widows, references from other books and the list of practical suggestions at the end of each chapter is a winning combination. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has lost their spouse
Remember the title of this book Jun 30, 2009
By Stacey Constantian
I wish I would have had this book years ago when I went through my loss. It explains that that many of the things I went through, such as needing to know all the details and telling my story again and again, were not only normal, but an important part of the healing process. The chapter that describes the different things you can do to honor your husband would have been so helpful to me. The first weeks and months it was exhausting to do more than shower, get dressed and act as if I were functioning normally. Having this list woud have given me somethng of value to do during those many, many long hours and also helped me through my grieving process. I will remember the title of this book so I will be able to give it to loved ones when they need it.
Something For Every Widow Jun 23, 2009
By Nancy Roberts
In reading The Widow's Journey every widow will find something worthwhile. I associated with some of the author's experiences, but not all of them. This in itself was helpful. The book encouraged me to reflect on my own grief and to explore it. By doing this I came to fully understand there is no formula for grieving --no right or wrong -- no time frame for grief. With this realization I could begin to slowly, in my own way, start to move toward my new normal.
