"But I'm very grateful in many ways... the marriage I had was very strong. My husband accepted his diagnosis - rather than say, "Why me?" he said, "Why not me?" and I'm grateful we had a chance to say goodbye. I've interviewed so many widows who never had that chance." [Kristin Meekhof] [A Widows Guide to Healing] Kristin Meekhof, MSW, is a regular contributor to The Huffington Post, MariaShriver.com, WomanThatSoar, and others.

A Widow's Guide to Healing offers a much-needed blueprint for grieving widows to face the often, overwhelming challenges of their new reality. Written for those grappling with their first five years of widowhood, this book gently and clearly guides readers through the pain and problems to a happier, healthier, and more hopeful future.
