@Anonymous After reading the book, I went to a relatively small group presentation that he was doing. It was kind of freaky because of some things he knew. I picked up his card, but have not moved on scheduling an individual session. I haven't ruled out doing it in the future.

There is a book company called PureRead. It's a series of books mostly about orphans. Set in the Victorian Age. Where children had to work in mills, match factories etc., in horrendous conditions. The characters are depicted in their rise out of adversity through their strength, faith and values. The backgrounds and language on the Victorian Age is on the mark. For instance, when a woman married her money and property were taken from her. And controlled by her husband. Usually someone her parents or family chose for her. Lots of grief and sorrow in these books. But all end with satisfying conclusions and hopeful endings. It's good escape reading. There's no violence or bad language in these books. It takes skillful writers to write what seems like simple stories. I have a simple mind. And I like to see others climb out of sorrow into better times. You can find PureRead books on Amazon.

Thank you Nicole. Where to fìnd the list of books?

I just put one on hold for myself at the library.  I saw the author on a video but I haven't even read it yet, so I will wait to see if I recommend it.  It's actually more about finding out who you are after widowhood.  The author is a widow herself.  I'll let you know more later.

I am going to pick it up at the library tomorrow.  The author is involved in Soaring Spirits and Camp Widow.  The book gets a lot of good reviews on amazon.  It's called "Different After You:  Redisovering yourself after Grief and Trauma" by Michele Neff Hernandez.  I wonder if anyone here has read it and found it helpful.

Carolyn @CarolynS674392, 

I did read the book and found it to be helpful. I hope it was beneficial reading for you as well.

Hi Nicole.  Just received Widow to Widow today.  Looking forward to reading it.  April is going to be a very hard month for me and I hope this book will help.  Thank You for all the CARE and LOVE you show to all of us on this site.

I’m hoping it helps you. My tip is don’t just read it cover to cover, just focus on whichever chapter covers where you’re at in the moment. That helped me so much

[CarolynS674392]

"I wasn't ready to say goodbye".  I found it in my local library.  Covers different situations in various chapters.

[BillH490171]

I'm reading that book as well and have found it to be a life saver.

This sits on my coffee table and it's my go to book from time to time. It has given me the strength to fact the loss of my husband recently. A book to pick up and read as each problem comes along..It gives you insight and understanding as to how we face things differently...

[jonibee]

The book I go to when I need to deal with things that come up is "I Wasn't ready To Say Goodbye" by Brook Noel &i Pamela D. Blair, PhD..It deals with all phases of grief..

[BeatleloverKT]

A dear friend gave me a book that was her Moms called “Widow to widow” by Genevieve Davis Ginsburg. It is divided into helpful chapters for all the challenges one faces when losing a husband. It also is a book that you can jump around and read the section you need the most. It has helped me immensely. Amazon has it

[mc6844]

Thank you.

[CarolynS674392]

I'll look for it in the library.  Thanks.
