“This deeply moving book is more than a guide; it is a testament to resilience, a celebration of the strength found in vulnerability, and a reminder that even through brokenness, beauty and purpose can emerge. A must-read for anyone seeking understanding, support, or guidance through the process of grief and renewal. What sets the book apart for me is the way in which the authors seamlessly transition from their individual experiences of loss to a collective wisdom that resonates universally. Particularly liked how the authors beautifully connect the imagery of a kintsugi pot to the journey of widows, portraying grief not as an end but as a transformation that honors both loss and life still to be lived.”

“A valuable discovery, written by three exceptional women, each one of them going through their own ways of grief after losing their husbands; the sadness, the shock, the brain refusing to believe what has happened. Each started to climb back up in her own way. They teach us how to get back up and treasure life to the fullest. They also remind us how we can show up in our best ways to help a widow.

“I could not put this amazing, generous, and brilliantly structured book down. These three very different personal stories of widowhood and of forging a new life told by these very different women are deeply human and courageously honest. They open a door for all of us to enter into the immediacy of the authors' lives, seamlessly weaving emotional, psychological, and spiritual experiences with the concrete, practical realities of day-to-day living that need to be attended to and which all women should be aware of.

The stories bring insight, comfort, and encouragement and the chapters giving valuable recommendations for concrete resources and information about the process blend together beautifully.

As a psychotherapist, I highly recommend this book for all women finding their way after the death of their spouse.”

“ This book is helpful for anyone. Woman or man. Young or old. Sick or well.
 As each woman told her story, I felt as though I had gained a new friend. And each story was different.
 Read the book.
 Gift the book.
 It’s very special.”

-Marj Berkheimer-

“…In facing the possibility of widowhood, I am most concerned about dealing with finances. The book includes tips and checklists to get started on organizing all that information including writing an "in your own words" manual for all things home and auto.
I highly recommend this book both for the highly readable personal stories as well as the advice and tips.”

-Linda Coyle-

“ Widows Among Us: Stories and Insights is a book that should be on the shelf of anyone who wants to understand the impact of losing a spouse. It’s heartbreaking, yes, but it’s also hopeful, full of wisdom, and deeply human. The mix of personal stories and practical advice makes it both an emotional read and a useful guide.”

“…[the authors] write with the warmth of a comforting friend, offering support from a place of practical experience and emotional understanding. Whether you have recently lost a spouse or you’re giving support to someone who has lost their significant other, Widows Among Us: Stories and Insights is the perfect resource to offer much-needed comfort and guidance during this challenging period.”

• Alija Turkovic for Reader’s Favorite, 5 Star review

“Lest widows wish they’d had this book earlier in their married lives, Widows Among Us is highly recommended for anyone contemplating marriage. It raises questions and provides answers that couples need to know in order to anticipate the unthinkable with important knowledge at their fingertips.

Libraries will find Widows Among Us a top reference, women’s groups and married couples’ circles will want to both read and discuss it, and individuals who choose this book will reflect on powerful insights which provides the knowledge needed to be prepared for loss in a very different way than most widow’s books.

Simply outstanding!
