Widow to Widow shares the experiences of widows who have found comfort and continuity in mutual-help and community support programs. In the second edition of her pioneering text, Phyllis Silverman brings the success of the original widow-to-widow program into the 21st century, preparing a new generation of community leaders, clergy, counselors, hospice staff, social workers, and the widowed themselves to organize and implement mutual-help programs.

Widow to Widow book review,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Widow to Widow SIGNED (Springer Series on Social Work) (Hardcover)
Excellant, well written, real life book written by Phyllis R. Silverman - a classic for any therapist to have on their shelf, and written for the women who are left as widows. Practical, classic, information continues to be relevant. Have had other copies that I've given away to those who need the book/information, also use in my professional "lending library". A keeper!
