Book excerpt: THE writer informs us himself at the beginning of his treatise that he felt moved by the example of St. Paul, after speaking about virgins, to continue with the subject of widows. But there was also another matter in his own diocese which touched him personally, and caused him at once to take up the matter. A certain widow who had several daughters, some married already and others of marriageable age, began to think of a second marriage for herself. St. Ambrose, partly for her own sake, partly that it might not be supposed that he had in any way advised the step, published the following treatise. In the first place he affirms that the profession of widowhood comes very close to that of virginity, and is to be esteemed far above the married state. He proves this by the testimony of St. Paul and by his description of one who is a widow indeed; also by many examples taken both from the old and New Testament. Having mentioned St. Peter's wife's mother, he turns more particularly to the widow for whose sake he is writing, though he avoids mentioning her name, pointing out how really empty and insufficient are all the reasons she is setting before herself for marrying again. The marriage bond is, indeed, he says, holy and good, and the married and single are as various kinds of flowers in the field of the church. There is, however, more corn produced than lilies, more that is married than virgin. He points out that widowhood has been held in dishonor by idolaters alone, for which reason it may well be held in honor by Christians. St. Ambrose does not condemn a second marriage, though placing widowhood before it, as being bound to aim at leading those committed to his loving care to the highest possible degree of perfection. The treatise was written not long after that concerning Virgins, that is, soon after A.D. 377.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This warm, conversational, easily digestible book is for widows-women over 50 who are beginning new lives without their husbands. In So Now You're a Widow, the author and the 34 women she interviewed share what they wish they had known when they became widowed. As one of the women commented, "People tell you how to decorate your home, drive a car, train your dog, and plan a wedding, but no one tells you how to be a widow." The women frankly share their advice and experiences on 26 topics, including: finding your inner strength, the one-size-does-not-fit-all grieving process, dealing with social invitations, changes in family dynamics, handling finances, choosing how you're going to live your life, plus, a journal section at the end of each chapter allows the reader to personalize what she has read and to gain insight into how she's dealing with her situation. The women who contributed to this book care deeply about other widowed women and want them to understand that what they are experiencing is normal and has been experienced in one form or another by others. You are not alone!

Book excerpt: “The Widows kept me on the edge of my seat. Montgomery is a masterful storyteller.” —Lee Martin, author of Pulitzer Prize-Finalist The Bright Forever Kinship, Ohio, 1924: When Lily Ross learns that her husband, Daniel Ross, the town’s widely respected sheriff, is killed while transporting a prisoner, she is devastated and vows to avenge his death. Hours after his funeral, a stranger appears at her door. Marvena Whitcomb, a coal miner’s widow, is unaware that Daniel has died, and begs to speak with him about her missing daughter. From miles away but worlds apart, Lily and Marvena’s lives collide as they realize that Daniel was not the man that either of them believed him to be—and that his murder is far more complex than either of them could have imagined. Inspired by the true story of Ohio’s first female sheriff, this is a powerful debut about two women’s search for justice as they take on the corruption at the heart of their community. "The Widows is a gripping, beautifully written novel about two women avenging the murder of the man they both loved."—Hallie Ephron, New York Times bestselling author of You'll Never Know, Dear "Jess Montgomery's gorgeous writing can be just as dark and terrifying as a subterranean cave when the candle is snuffed out, but her prose can just as easily lead you to the surface for a gasp of air and a glimpse of blinding, beautiful sunlight. This is a powerful novel: a tale of loss, greed, and violence, and the story of two powerful women who refuse to stand down."—Wiley Cash, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Ballad, A Land More Kind than Home, and This Dark Road to Mercy "[A] flinty, heartfelt mystery that sings of hawks and history, of coal mines and the urgent fight for social justice."—Julia Keller, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Bone on Bone

Book excerpt: Unlike anything Joyce Carol Oates has written before, A Widow’s Story is the universally acclaimed author’s poignant, intimate memoir about the unexpected death of Raymond Smith, her husband of forty-six years, and its wrenching, surprising aftermath. A recent recipient of National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award, Oates, whose novels (Blonde, The Gravedigger’s Daughter, Little Bird of Heaven, etc.) rank among the very finest in contemporary American fiction, offers an achingly personal story of love and loss. A Widow’s Story is a literary memoir on a par with The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion and Calvin Trillin’s About Alice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hope for a Widow's Shattered World is a gathering place for women caught in the gut-wrenching aftermath of a husband's death. Wisdom and hope are laced together by the courage and stunning insights of many widows who have moved beyond the paralyzing early moments of grief to find the rebirth of joy, and finally a deeply satisfying life of contentment. A poignant, hope-instilling truth emerges from the life experiences of these women: Widowhood is unique from all other losses, demanding the re-invention of Self. This book is a detailed guide, full of practical illustrations, helping women understand the dynamics of widowhood as an aid to their passage through and beyond grief. The journey is often long and hard, but women are promised a new and courageous, hope-filled, faith-based life, which can be built ut of the ashes of grief. Hope for a Widow's Shattered World begins with a declaration of a widow's pain, and moves past honest struggle to a final litany of her new-found strength, firmly grounded in God's love and grace. This book could also help widowers in their grief.

Book excerpt: What happens whene the husband dies depends on the society, on the location of the widow in urban-rural or class terms, and on the widow's own personal resources. In some societies the woman is totally dependent upon a grown son and cannot remarry; in others, such as that in the United States, she is more dependent upon her own resouces and wishes. For some, widowhood results in a great loss of status; for others, it can mean loneliness and social isolation. Yet widowhood can mean greater social freedom for some women, a "blooming of personality. Even grief is experienced in various ways and degrees. Thus there is no such thing as a "widow type," only a great heterogenity in widowhood, as in "wifehood." Volume I analyzes the support systems and life-styles of widows in Australia, the Philippines, Korea, Iran, China, a Pacific island, India, Turkey, and Israel. Volume II : North America examines two communities in Canada, a Florida retirement community, and communities in several other locations, as well as the relative situations of homeowners, blacks, and poor ethnic populations.

By allowing widows to tell of their own experiences and describe their feelings, she explains how the sense of loss essentially alters a person's entire biography. Specific attention is given to the changes affecting relationships with men, family ties, finances, community, and religion. The diversity of widows' experiences is stressed, and a sense of hope is cultivated throughout.

Book excerpt: The death of a spouse brings with it not only grief and shock but a whirlwind of questions. What has happened to our love? Why has God allowed this? How do I handle the loneliness, regrets, and fear of the future? What can I do for my children? Who am I now that I am single? When Cheryl Hall's husband died suddenly, she was faced with those questions and more. She sought answers but found few resources based on the Bible. This book, The Widow's Lifeline, is the result of her daily discovery of real hope through the living Word of God, and from her personal journey through the valley of grief and shock to hope and promise. It helps widows find biblically based answers to all the questions along the way. Readers are encouraged to apply the practical truths found in this book to their everyday lives, as well as advice for the family and friends of the new widow on how best to help and encourage her. In The Widow's Lifeline, widows, and others who grieve for a lost loved one, will find biblical solutions to issues of the present as well as rich God-given promises for the future.
