Opis

""I feel that a woman who has become a widow can have a life."" THE INTERESTS OF EVERY READER, male or female, who has lost a dear one are explored when Zelin delves into universal themes of life, love, and death, and touches hearts of all ages. Through memories, letters and reflections, 78-year-old Zelin speaks of the dilemmas of healing and learning to live after her husband's death. Mourning and grief, loneliness, humor and healing ("Sometimes I think that in every tragedy there exists bizarre comedy.") are related with courage and honesty-and hope. She comes to understand widowhood as a woman's issue that warrants awareness and understanding in our culture. Zelin speaks for the forgotten women-widows of all ages.
