Nyman, Margaret

Margaret Nyman, a wife of nearly forty years and the mother of seven children, was widowed after her husband s sudden illness and death in 2009. Blogging about her feelings helped her work through the heart-wrenching pain and encouraged thousands of readers, many of them reeling from the loss of their own mates. "Hope for an Aching Heart" and "Prayers for a Widow s Heart" were written out of her desire to help other widows and respond to their cries.
