The Sisterhood of Widows cover

There are 13,455,127 widows in the United States and Canada. The Sisterhood of Widows is a powerful book of healing containing sixteen true stories from widows of all walks of life who reflect and comment about life after the death of their husbands. Their stories cover death from accidents, cancer, heart attacks, and even suicide. All are told in a truthful and sometimes painful manner. Emotionally every widow handles loss differently and yet there is a common bond they share that makes them part of a sisterhood. And each widow’s story provides guidance and insight into human nature and the journey of perseverance through grief.

"In the health care profession, we see women put themselves last in a crisis and their health deteriorates because of it. This book is a wonderful collection of "life after loss" experiences and how women not only survive, but find a way to thrive."  - Natalie Treadwell, Founder of Food For Life Healthy Lifestyle

"Each testimony gives different insight and understanding into the transition of wife to widow. These testimonies layered together under one cover; offer a needed comfort to a new widow." - Todd D Soper, President, Todd D Soper Financial Services Inc.

"Embodied in each of these women is the strength that it takes to overcome adversity and without question they teach us all the meaning of resilience and survival and they do so in their own words." - Tracy Friars, Lay Worship Leader and Human Resource Consultant
