The holiday season is difficult each year for anyone who lost a loved one and especially if the loss was recent. Kindness to widows, widowers and other grievers from friends, family, neighbors and co-workers can be helpful at this time. Thoughtless words can pour salt in the wounds.
The Widow or Widower Next Door, Ebook from Amazon.com is the book that will help you know what to say, and what not to say.
Readers asked why is there a logo of a hand with a heart in it on cover of the book. The answer is in The Valentine's Story, from the book: "The doctors told Mary Lee that Pat was not going to be with her much longer. She took a red marker and a ballpoint pen with her to the hospital on Valentine's Day. She took his hand and drew a heart on his palm. She wrote "my heart" inside it and said 'I love you; you hold my heart in your hand'. The mortician left it in place. Mary Lee states, "Pat still holds my heart in his hand and my heart is warm because of it."
Most everyone knows that losing a mate to death is a painful experience. Many who participated in writing this book were surprised by other people's reactions to their loss.
The Widow or Widower Next Door is a collection of the unexpected reactions that occur. We prepare for school by attending Pre-K. We prepare to get our Driver's License by taking driving lessons. We got to pre-marital counseling before we wed. Nothing, but nothing prepares us for the loss of a spouse. We hope this book will get people thinking and preparing, and we hope that it will help them learn how to better help a friend or a neighbor with such a loss. Isn't it time to talk about it?
