5.0 out of 5 stars The book is excellent, October 12, 1999

By A Customer

My husband died suddenly and I recently purchased "Instantly A Widow." It is excellent. It was good to know that someone else felt the feelings I went through. I thank the author for sharing herself with others.

5.0 out of 5 stars No other material helped me as much as this book., October 12, 1999

By A Customer

My young healthy husband died of a massive heart attack. No other materials helped me the way "Instantly A Widow" did. This book ministered to me in my time of need. I have given away several copies and loaned mine. I highly recommend this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not at all helpful for me, January 13, 2001

By A Customer

Biblical platitudes, clicheed writing --- true, in a trite way, to what grief feels like but would only be helpful to someone devoutly Christian. Not at all helpful.
