    About this ebook

    Weep Not O Widow is a journal of fifty poems written from the heart and soul during that tough first year. Because the poems show the process Jean went through, this book will especially help the recently widowed. The poems contain beautiful imagery of weeping, memories of their shared life, and crying out to God. There are continuous references to natures beauty and the wildlife of Gods magnificent creation.



    With support and comfort, Jean hopes to help the grieving widow find her way to God and His will, and to the joy of living.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
