"Grief. Loss. Alone. Widow. No matter how long a woman has been married or how her husband died, those four words are shocking, strange-sounding words that just do not seem to belong in her world. When my 50-year-old husband Wayne died after suffering for 12 weeks following bypass surgery and Staph infections, I was overwhelmed by those four words and what they represented. In those first few weeks of barely being able to breathe, of grief that overwhelmed me, of new fears and uncertainty, I found a ray of hope in the words of other widows. With over 11 million widows in the U.S. and approximately 700,000 women becoming widows every year (U.S. Census Bureau, 2005) I knew I was not alone, but why was I so lonely? I joined a grief support group and online widows' chat rooms that I turned to many times. One night after everyone had left and I had cried until I was physically sick, I logged on at 2 a.m. and put out this plea: "Tell me, tell me, please. How do you make it through the first few weeks?" From all over the country widows responded. Widow's Words of Hope is what they said. Host a Christ-centered 10-session support group based on Anne Robey-Graham's grace-full book Widow's Words of Hope and minister Christ's love to them now!

You Are Not Alone Becoming a widow is one of the most difficult experiences in life. We are often overwhelmed by being alone. No one chooses to join this sisterhood, but when any woman finds herself there, she needs comfort and encouragement from those who understand. When Anne was widowed at 48, she found that other widows offered comfort and encouragement like no one else. They penetrated the fog of grief that threatened to overwhelm her. They held her as she cried. They helped her laugh and enjoy simple pleasures like lunch with the girls again. They treated her like she was normal, more than just a widow. They were unruffled by her reactions. They simply understood. Oh, the things other people said and did during that time! Perhaps they meant well, but they lacked understanding. After her husband died Anne read everything she could get her hands on about grief and being a widow. While the books had their value, it was many widows’ words that helped her get up, find hope and begin to heal. Widows’ Words is borne out of her desire to help other widows experience that same kind of comfort from those who have walked in her shoes. With stories, poems, a few thoughts, and even jokes, the wealth of many widows’ words offer nuggets of hope. The book takes 10 things people typically say at a funeral and shares different widows’ thoughts and experiences about that topic. With nature photos and comforting scriptures, it reads like a group of women sharing a conversation. Together they offer powerful influence for hope and encouragement to each widow so that she can know that she is not alone.
