Brenda Knight, Associate Publisher of Viva Editions, acquired Happily Even After having experienced widowhood herself said, "This is the book I wish I had at the time. I feel incredibly proud of Carole's book, essential reading for anyone experiencing grief. Now it can get to many more people who need it thanks to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Our intention all along was to get this book to widows, young and old, as well as "widows of the heart," partners not in legally joined relationships. Carole's heart, humor, and practical guidelines cover everything from finances, dealing with children, living single in a couple's world, and more. Carole's courage in sharing her own experiences and those of others is invaluable to anyone who's lost a spouse or life partner."
About the Book
The issues that surround the loss of a spouse are numerous and complex. The widowed must find a way to accept and deal with conflicting and confusing emotions while being expected to "carry on and carry forward." They must also adjust financially and legally and be available to children that inevitably look to their surviving parent for guidance and support. Happily Even After answers the most common questions that the widowed have, both immediately following a spouse's death and in the months and even years after. In her warm, witty, and wise tone, Carole walks widows through the shock and overwhelming sadness and back into the land of the living. Whether a young woman in the early years of a marriage, a golden anniversary celebrant, or a "widow of the heart" who lost a significant other with no legal claims, Fleet offers practical tools.
