Reseña del libro "Widowed: When Death Sucks the Life Out of You (en Inglés)"
Not just for widows and widowers, this book is for anyone who wants to understand the searing pain of losing a spouse. On your worst days, Widowed: When Death Sucks the Life out of You comes along beside you like a trusted friend and offers hope, reassuring you that life after a spouse's death exists-that joy can mingle with grief. This book teaches pastors, counselors, and friends of the bereaved how the grieving can "learn to live with and embrace the dichotomy of joy and sorrow.""Nearly 700,000 women lose their husbands each year, and they will be widows for an average of fourteen years. Fran Geiger Joslin, who knows the rough seas of such grief, writes as an empathic companion. As one who has 'been there, ' she explores a broad range of questions such as: What should I put on the headstone? What do I do with my desire for physical intimacy? And shouldn't I feel better by now? Drawing from her journals, experiences, and research, Joslin has created in Widowed: When Death Sucks the Life out of You a work that takes readers into the uncharted waters of 'the new normal' and helps them find calmer seas."Sandra Glahn, Ph.D., Author, Associate Professor of Media Arts and Worship, Editor-in-chief of Kindred Spirit"I wish my widowed friends had this book when they experienced the heartbreak of losing a spouse. Full of practical, empathetic information, Joslin's book serves as a needed friend on an unwanted but necessary journey after grief. I highly recommend this book."Mary DeMuth Speaker and author of more than thirty books including, The Day I Met Jesus
