Widows Need Help! 

That's why I wrote this book, For Widows Only! (FWO).
It's also why I started my FWO widow support website;
 it's why I have started local FWO support groups;
it's why I have developed an FWO Blog ;

...all of them using For Widows Only!, the book, as a guide.

No matter how hard I work, though,
I know I can't make widows' pain just disappear.
The pain is necessary for healing to take place.
It can help, however, if they understand grief,
by learning about the process and its stages.
It can help if they get a little help from their friends.
It can help to talk with others in the same boat, and
it can help if they hear from many widows who wept before them,
who have survived and now reach out with help.
It can help to know there are more than 12.000.000 widows in the U.S.
 It can help to know one out of every ten women has been widowed.
It also can help if they learn techniques for how to help themselves, with
patience, practice and occasional pity parties.


Widows Help Widows! 

I interviewed 80 widows for my book, and they help show that,
although it won't be easy, you--or your widowed friend--will survive!

Each widow has felt much the same pain, like someone sliced them in half,
or half-buried them in quicksand, and yet they must carry on with the
details of living and eventually building a new life.

Widows need help; they need understanding;
they need to know they will survive...from widows who have.

Whether you're looking for a book to help your friend,
your sister or yourself through widowhood's fear, anger and tears...

this is the one book you need...

It is easy; it's sometimes fun; it's a life-saver! You won't be sorry.   
You'll find young, middle-aged and older widows, all seeking--and finding--
reassurance from other widows who have been where they are.
It is awesome to read the stories of these widows
and their compassionate responses to each other. 
One thing we know for sure... 
Only widows really understand other widows!
