About this ebook
After losing her husband of 27 years, Mary Francis found herself in a strange place in her life as a widow. Now she was single, but didn’t feel like a single person. In fact, Mary wasn’t married or divorced and really not single – and so she decided to seek out other widows to help her understand her place. From their inspiring stories she, compiled The Sisterhood of Widows: Sixteen True Stories of Grief, Anger and Healing, a collection of stories of widows from all walks of life. The stories of how they lost their loved ones are varied, from accidents, cancer, heart attacks, and even suicide and their testimonies are passionate and sometimes even angry.
The Sisterhood of Widows: Sixteen True Stories of Grief, Anger and Healing can help widows from all walks of life and situations understand their grief, anger, loneliness, and emotional needs. This book also helps family members and friends of widows understand the emotional situations that new widows are forced to face. To be listened to, humored and encouraged by women friends is a gift not to be taken lightly, and Mary provides the encouragement all widows and their family members need.
This book is a collection of true stories from widows of all walks of life who reflect and comment about life after the death of their husbands. Emotionally every widow handles it differently and yet there is a common bond they share that makes them part of a sisterhood.
Each chapter is a widow’s story that provides perseverance, guidance, and insight into human nature. The book doesn’t have to be read cover to cover to gleam something useful from it. The material is organized in such a way that each reader can easily search for what seems most appropriate to them.

My husband died at the age of fifty-three and so I became a widow at the age of fifty. Twenty-seven years of marriage and now I’m single, but I don’t feel like I’m single. In fact I’m not married, not divorced and really not single – and so I’m a widow. How odd that seems!It never occurred to me during the years I was putting my life together—family, business, home, and finances—that one day I would have to start all over. Suddenly, I have been given a wide array of new choices—in effect, a second life. I asked myself—Where do I start?One thing lead to another and before I knew it I was being asked to speak to organizations and small groups about how life changes when you lose someone you love. I find that my own journey has taken me to areas that I had never considered when I was married. I published books, did a website, became a speaker/coach with a Blog and a monthly newsletter.I'm a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist and Certified Law of Attraction Facilitator for Positive LivingI believe that when men and women are able to think, talk, write and cry about the loss of their loved ones, they will find healing. Healing comes from mutual support, sharing our journeys and understanding our own grief experiences.
