The Autumn Woman's Guide to Friendship After Loss - eBook 2

If you read the first book in this series, you know some of my story — the quiet kitchen, the soup from a can, the long process of figuring out who I was when there was no longer a 'we.' That book was about survival, really. About getting through the first terrible stretch of aloneness and finding that friendship was still possible

This book is about something different. This one is about living. About not just surviving the loss of your former life but actually building a new one — on purpose, with intention, with your eyes open and your arms, however cautiously, wide.

I wrote this during my fourth year of widowhood, which I've come to think of as the year I stopped waiting for my life to go back to normal and started understanding that this is my life. Right now. This season. It's not a consolation prize. It's not what's left after the real thing ended. It's the actual thing.
