Finding Your Way after Your Spouse Dies » (Revised)

Marta Felber, author of Grief Expressed: When a Mate Dies, has more than forty years of experience in church work, social service and counseling. Today, Marta enjoys daily walks in the gentle Ozark Mountains surrounding her in Northwest Arkansas.

If you have suffered the death of your spouse, you have experienced one of the most painful and disorienting experiences life can offer. In the days immediately following the loss, you may need everything from advice on finances to a home-cooked meal. But there is nothing you need more than the warm, reassuring voice of one who has traveled this path before. . .and survived.

In Finding Your Way After Your Spouse Dies, Marta Felber offers just such a voice-caring, hopeful, always pointing ahead to a tomorrow that will be a little easier than today. Having experienced her own spouse's death, Felber is never glib or simplistic. She knows the grief her readers are feeling and she encourages them to give it full expression. At the same time, she offers sound, practical suggestions on how to navigate difficult days. Sleepless nights, sudden responsibilities, spiritual questions: this book shies away from none of the difficult issues of bereavement. Felber gently urges her readers toward careful, honest examination of the issues they face.

Written in short, easy-to-read chapters, Finding Your Way After Your Spouse Dies is the perfect companion for one who is struggling to pick up the pieces and go on.
