Review by Library Journal Review

Clinical social worker Meekhof knows firsthand what it's like to lose a loved one. Drawing from her own experiences and the stories of other widows, the author supplies a blueprint for navigating the legal system, coping with grief, and solo parenting. Meekhof addresses the roller-coaster ride of guilt and anger as well as handling in-laws and surviving the workplace. In sum, she reminds new widows that they are not alone, to go easy on themselves, and to reach out for help. -VERDICT In this encouraging resource, new widows can find compassionate emotional and practical assistance. Also suggest Janet Boyanton's Alone and Alive. © Copyright 2015. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
