The Sisterhood of Widows
Widows understand Widows like no one else can
Widows of all walks of life need other widows to reflect and comment about life after the death of their husbands. Emotionally every widow handles it differently and yet there is a common bond we share that makes us part of a sisterhood.
Did you know that the average age of a widow is fifty-six?
“The Sisterhood of Widows” is a must have book for widows. It truthfully tells of the emotions and situations that we face, based on sixteen Widows that are all different but yet the same in many ways.
This book will help family members and friends when someone they love becomes a widow. It’s hard to understand what they are going through unless you’re a Widow yourself. It wasn’t until I became a widow at the age of fifty that I could really relate to their grief and the confusion of many emotions.
After suddenly becoming a widow I started interviewing women like me and I soon realized that their stories could help others. I knew that this book could help widows relate to each other through a collection of true stories by different widows that spoke of the good, the bad and the ugly.
“The Sisterhood of Widows” isn’t a blood tie but women bond together in a very special way that makes us like a family. We share the parts of our lives that only other women can understand. To be listened to, understood, humored and encouraged by our women friends is a gift not to be taken lightly. This book was born from the idea that we are all sisters in the emotions we carry and that there should be one book that tells it all.
Someone recently told me that this was a grass roots book because it was from the widows themselves. I believe that to be true and that it will also be supported and marketed through grass roots channels as more and more people talk about the widow’s stories and pass along the book to those who are in need of help and support.
