Product Description

As a doctor and a widower, Dr. Othniel Seiden has more experience with this subject than most anyone else on the planet.

He and his new wife, psychologist Dr. Jane Bilett discuss the details of what is necessary to think about when dealing with the death of your spouse. From Financial Issues of the estate to starting over, this book gives valuable advice and true comfort to the bereaved spouse.

It is the purpose of this book to help you cope with your loss and help you to eventually get on with your life. Your mate?s life has ended, but the fact remains that yours has not. In addition to your loss, there will be new demands on you. No matter how independent you may have been, you?ll find you relied more heavily on your mate than you ever suspected.

Even when death is expected
following a terminal illness,
you?re never ready for it.
Imagine what a shock it is when death is unexpected...

About the Author

Othniel J. Seiden, MD and Jane Bilett, Ph.D. Dealing with death is all too often required of physicians and clinical psychologists, but when Othniel J. Seiden, MD himself became a widower, he realized first hand the problems widows and widowers have to face and cope with. With the help and collaboration of his new wife, clinical psychologist Jane L. Bilett, Ph.D., he was able to successfully travel the difficult road from total devastation, through grief and then to a renewed and happy life. It is with the experiences that Drs. Bilett and Seiden gained traveling this bumpy road to renewed life and happiness, plus both of their professional and clinical experiences that made them an ideal couple team to write this handbook for widows and widowers. This book not only forewarns its readers of the obstacles in the rough road ahead through grief and bereavement to renewed happiness, but helps to smooth those ruts in the path through Dr. Seiden s own trial and error experiences.

Losing a spouse is never in your life plan. But when death happens, it's good to have a book that explains what needs to be done and the emotions surrounding the experience.

This book walked me through the day to day issues that needed to be done. The pain of losing a spouse and the 101 details and emotions that surround the death makes it hard to sort through the stuff. This book helped me.

You never really will 'get over it,' however life does go on and I had to rejoin it. This book gave me that courage, mostly by giving me real tools with which to handle all the new challenges that were coming my way (wills, lawyers, social security, etc). After 8 months of grieving, it finally turned me towards recovery.

I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who is dealing with a very sick spouse or has lost their spouse in the last year or just can't seem to rejoin the world, no matter how long it has been since they were widowed.

A forewarning... May 1, 2008
Format:Paperback
This book forewarned me of some of the logistical problems that come with widowhood. From the financial to the emotional, I did realize that I was having "normal" - if anyone can call it that - responses to what was happening to me. Thank you, Drs Seiden and Bilett for giving me enough comfort to feel comfortable inside my own skin again.

If you're going through this, get this book, it is a good resource at so many levels. And if you are going through this, you're not alone and I'm sorry...

More About the Author

I do not have a literary background, though I did a year of graduate study at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, my real background is medical. I graduated from the University of Missouri School of Medicine in 1964 and practiced for 44 years, first as a General Practitioner, and the last 30 as an E.R. doc. I began writing as an avocation to help me unwind after a long day in the E.R. My writing went in two directions, one Historical Fiction, and the other Medical Self-Help, my forte translating medical information into easily understood lay language. In recent years that Self-Help has been more in the direction of Baby Boomer and senior health and emotional problems.
My Historical Novels deal mainly with Judaical, Holocaust, and Biblical History. Most of my books are both in print and on Amazon Kindle. Please enjoy! With over 40 books published by 10 different publishers I've been named Colorado's most prolific author. Google Othniel Seiden
