Humorous Widowhood Memoirs Featuring Self-Help Guidelines

I live a wonderful life. As I walk this earth, I intend to fill each day with love and laughter. I will continue to create memories during my remaining time and share my stories until the shadows of old age cloud my vision.

Through laughter and tears (sometimes at the same time), I will share what I've learned about rebuilding life after loss. I've been fortunate to experience love on multiple occasions. Having been married three times, each journey has been a unique experience. It's like trying different flavors of ice cream: some were delightful and satisfying, some left a strange aftertaste, and a couple were downright nutty! With each relationship, I've learned valuable lessons, such as never let it slip out that you know how to mow the lawn or argue about which way to hang the toilet paper. It's best to establish a rule that you both agree to disagree right from the start.

In my first book, "Widowhood: The Next Chapter...I'm Still Here. Now What?”, you'll find practical wisdom woven between the humor in the pages I write, whether you're newly widowed or many years into your journey.

They say the third time's a charm, but when I had to start over for the third time, I thought, "Seriously? We're doing this again?" That's when I realized that I had quite unusual knowledge on my hands. After going through it three times, and yes, my friends stopped setting me up on dates, I found that writing became my therapy. It was much cheaper than actual therapy, though considerably messier, with all the tear-stained pages and chocolate smudges.

During the 2020 pandemic, when I was isolated in my home like so many others, I found unexpected healing in writing about my journey through grief. Pouring my emotions onto paper brought a glimmer of hope to my heart. Writing about getting through the greatest losses in my life is like finding a hidden stash of dark chocolate in a health food store. It was surprisingly uplifting and not what I expected.

I wrote this book to share the personal stories of those left behind. It's comforting to know that you are not alone. I also provide helpful tips for widows and widowers as they move through the next chapter of life. 

Please consider giving the book as a gift to someone who has just lost a loved one. It will not only offer them guidance for the future but might also bring a smile to their face.
