A remarkable monk and priest offers not only a practical guide for widowed men and women, but spiritual insights, poetry, meditation and advice, also based on the concept of the Church's own "widowhood" since the Ascension of Christ.

Whether touched by the trials of loss or not, anyone will be deeply moved by these accounts, written by six women, of their first years of widowhood. The book offers spiritual consolation as well as practical advice for all who are learning to cope with the loneliness and problem of being suddenly single.
