From the author of A Widow’s Words, The First Year and Year Two comes the third and final book in a series about coping with widowhood. A Widow’s Words, The Later Years explores one woman’s quest for meaning, purpose, and peace after losing her life partner.

Becoming a widow brings many challenges, even years after the death of a spouse. These include facing unexpected grief triggers, handling emergencies on her own, dealing with loneliness, exploring the dating world, adapting retirement plans, and reconciling how to spend the once-anticipated golden years alone. But perhaps the biggest difficulty for a widow is attempting to discover a new direction, purpose, and meaning for her life.

A Widow’s Words, The Later Years is a compilation of essays and poetry about working through grief and loss, overcoming obstacles, creating new goals, and pursuing a new plan for a future alone. With time, effort, and the help of her grief therapist, the author discovers that heartache and despair can eventually be transformed into joy, hope, and a new vision for the future, and she finally achieves peace, contentment, and fulfillment living life on her own.
