A Widow’s Hope shares a unique story as a young widow with children who shares the raw, relatable ways she dug her way out of the trenches and back to the land of the living. There are many books about widowhood and grief. While helpful when the time is right, the shock and the aftermath of such a traumatic experience can make it difficult to find the time and motivation to read them while surviving the daily obstacles that zap your energy. Right now, the widow is too busy surviving funeral planning, endless calls and texts from family, tireless efforts to obtain the death certificate, meetings with social security, arrangements to be ironed-out with banks, mortgagors, and debts. Not to mention the practical things, like ensuring the children have been fed, arranging who will take them to school while you deal with the horrible details such as picking out his casket, or helping your children with things only you can help with? And then it hits her, “How will I even tell them that their father is dead? They don’t even know what ‘dead’ means!” Just thinking of the unending list of things to be done can leave the widow feeling smothered and breathless. Now is not the time for a novel; now is the time for a survival book, because right now, that’s what the widow is doing—surviving.

"What do I do now?" the widow asks herself. "What can I do to help?" her friends ask each other. It is Nancy's prayer that whether you are a widow or a friend wanting to support her, that you will find hope, encouragement and - yes - healing as these ten members of the widowhood club share their hearts and their journeys with you.

What makes sense the day before a spouse dies, makes none the day after. For a new widow, the goals and aspirations once shared with a spouse can feel daunting and impossible once she's left to experience them alone. Transitioning through the phases of grief becomes more and more overwhelming and isolating and the process presents more questions than answers-struggles than clarity. However, although widowhood may cause you to feel abandoned and lost, God's word tells us we are special and covered. From Wed to Widow: A Guide to Self-Care, Self-Love, and Self-Discovery offers practical and relatable guidance to get you through your "Year of Firsts" while centering and recognizing your grief along the journey. It takes you through Isaiah 54, from the perspective of a new widow, and gives you sensible strategies to use during some of your most difficult days. While From Wed to Widow is Bible-based, it is suited for modern living and includes topics ranging from managing loneliness to choosing and removing certain people and things from your life.
