“A Handbook for Widows” is so much more than the title implies. This pocket sized book is packed with information, guidance and resources for anyone who has lost a spouse, parent or even an adult child. The steps, small and large, that are required to move forward in the wake of loss are tremendous and the authors have presented a path that is easy to follow with this book. I greatly encourage all libraries, nursing homes, temples, churches, counselors, educators as well as doctors and nurses to pick up several copies and pass them onto their clients.

Along with grieving for a loved one, comes the realization that you must do all the things your loved one took care of. Grieving is very stressful and emotionally tiring. Corrine’s book gives easy,practical, useful information to help you solve problems. It is a great handbook to have on hand.

I have been working with seniors and their families for over thirty years and this book is a welcome addition to helping them. When a person loses a spouse it is always a shock—whether the death has happened suddenly or was expected for a time. There is a hugh ajustment to be made and this book helps the widowed focus on what needs to be done as well as teaches coping skills.
This book is also helpful in teaching adult children what their parents are experiencing and can open up communication and show areas that the adult child can help their grieving parents.

Without this handbook, I would have lost my home. She gave me such insight, on how to handle all financial affairs, that I was able to control all my finances. While grieving, one gets so lost in ones emotions, that this book, puts everything into perspective. It helps you to solve problems, that you would not even have thought would come about. She gives you deep insight, on information, that you would not believe you would need. I would have lost all my possessions without her advice.

This book provides essential information to people who have lost a mate. It is like being thrown a lifesaver when you are drowning, giving you valuable help and support when you most need it. An invaluable resource!
