by Helen Lewison

This is the journal of a recent widow who not only can’t accept her husband’s death but cannot accept being and acting like a "widow." Insightful, sensitive and occasionally humorous reflections are mixed with a profound philosophy of life that is exchanged between the author and her current companion–her cat. In ways she never anticipated before, the author grows from her experience of widowhood and a dormant part of her begins to emerge. A new peacefulness and self-acceptance that offers the promise of wonderful life experiences yet to come. This book will bring smiles and tears to a number of readers, and it will especially bring understanding and comfort to other women in similar positions.

    * Highly literate prose about a subject most women don’t even talk about.
    * An intimate portrayal of the feelings, the questions, the disruptions of widowhood.
    * What do you do with the silence?
    * And yes, there is even humor in this dark subject!
