A practical discussion of widowhood,
By
This review is from: Beginnings 4th Edition (Paperback)
Drawing from her own personal experience, Betty Jane Wylie gives the reader an inside view of what it is like to be widowed at middle age. Although dour at times, this book is mainly filled with practial advice for the newly widowed. Information is given on finance and employment, relationships with friends and children, companionship and sex, travel, household repairs, etc. This book is unique, in that it is not a detached, academic look at the grieving process. Wylie's personal anger and pain at her loss are evident. Although this book is depressing to read at times, it also seems realistic and practical.

By Muriel V Poster (Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beginnings: A Book for Widows (ISIS Large Print) (Hardcover)
This book is excellent, particularily for canadian women. It is however a most useful tool in coping with learning to be a widow. I used it for several months after I lost my husband, and then eventually passed it on to another widow. I have also given these books away to other widows of industrial accidents. I try to keep one on hand for any such occasion. I would recommend it highly.
