Publisher Description

"…A very valuable and practical guide for any woman who has lost her husband due to an untimely death. Kristin Meekhof's journey is both inspiring and courageous and something we can all learn from." —Dr. Deepak Chopra

An inspiring, accessible, and empowering guide for how to navigate the unique stresses and challenges of widowhood and create a hopeful future.

When Kristin Meekhof lost her husband to cancer, she discovered what all widows learn: the moment you lose your partner, you must make crucial decisions that will impact the rest of your life. But where do you begin? This inspiring audiobook shows grieving widows what to expect and how to deal with the challenges of losing a life partner. From immediate issues like finances, estates and medical bills to long-term hurdles such as single parenthood, being a widow in the workplace and navigating social situations by yourself, this audiobook guides widows through the tumultuous and painful first five years to a more hopeful future.

“The most important quandaries bereavement poses—some with lifelong import—must be faced while widows are still reeling from emotional trauma. Or must they? Meekhof and Windell help vulnerable readers sort what can be put off and what must be done—and where to get help doing either. Had this guide been available back when I was rushing to extricate myself from the financial havoc left by my husband’s death, their financial advice alone would have saved me substantial sums from which my children would have benefited.”

— Kathryn Craft, author of The Far End of Happy

You will be hard pressed to find a better guide on growth in the aftermath of loss.”

    — Lee Daniel Kravetz, author of Supersurvivors: The Surprising Link between Suffering and Success
