“Why did you write this book?”

“What can this book do for me?”

I get asked these two questions all the time.

So today I thought I would take some time and answer these questions about my new book that’s coming out in a few weeks – Widowed Walk: Experiencing God After the Loss of a Spouse.

If you’ve lost a spouse, this book is obviously written for you.

If you haven’t lost a spouse, chances are you know someone who would benefit from a book like this.

The loss of a spouse changes everything. Nothing in our lives is left untouched. The aftermath can be traumatic, overwhelming, and incredibly painful.

I have written two other books for those who have lost a spouse or life partner – Heartbroken: Healing from the Loss of a Spouse and Comfort for the Grieving Spouse’s Heart. So why another book on this?

Because all three books are written from different angles. Sometimes we need to hear things from multiple perspectives for it to sink in at the deepest level.

Widowed Walk is a grief devotional written for those who identify with the Christian faith. With over 150 readings, the book is designed to be read one chapter a day, giving you bite-size bits of comfort, hope, and healing over time.

Many of us struggle spiritually after the loss of our beloved mate. We wonder why God feels distant. We wonder how He fits into all this. We wonder what this means for us. We wonder what’s next.

Widowed Walk is meant to be a companion for you on this tough, challenging journey. The goal of the book is to help you walk with God and experience Him through this time of change and upheaval. He is with you. He walks with you. He will guide you. You are far from alone.

Widowed Walk can be your spiritual survival kit. Each reading is brief (two pages long), direct, to the point, and easy-to-read. When we’re grieving, we don’t need long, complicated, intellectual treatises. Broken hearts need true words of love, comfort, reassurance, and hope.

My hope and prayer is that Widowed Walk meets readers where they are in their pain and makes a significant healing difference in their grief journey.

If you have any questions about this book, please let me know.

Stay tuned. The book is coming soon.

Be kind to yourself. Be patient with yourself. Live today one step, one moment at a time.
