(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 13, 2023 ) Denver, CO and Ft. Myers, FL and Milwaukee, WI – Outskirts Press—the fastest-growing, full-service self-publishing and book marketing company—is pleased to announce the release of Bonnie Merryfield’s So Now You’re a Widow: Tips, Advice, and Stories from Widows to Widows, second-place winner of CIPA’s 2020 EVVY Award in the category of nonfiction/self-help.

So Now You’re a Widow profiles 35 widows who share what they’ve learned about the widowhood experience, how they’ve coped and survived, and what they wish they had known when they became widowed. The women frankly share their insights, experiences and advice on 24 topics, including:
• the grieving process
• sources of strength
• possible changes in family dynamics
• handling finances
• reentering society as a “single”
• choosing how to live life

A journal section at the end of each chapter allows the reader to apply what she has read to her personal situation. The book easily lends itself as a study guide for grief support and bereavement groups.

This warm, conversational, easy-to-read book is targeted for women over 50 who are beginning new lives without their husbands, but its contents will resonate with widows of all ages and those who have been widowed for longer periods of time. The women who contributed to this book care deeply about other widows and want them to understand that what they are experiencing is normal and has been experienced in one form or another by others. Above all, it lets them know that they are not alone!
