Hope for Widows

Find hope on an unfamiliar journey marked by changes and challenges.

It’s a paradox. Following the death of a spouse, some widows can barely boil water, yet must make major decisions. Reevaluating finances, handling changes to legal documents, and learning new skills require attention at a time when you may be struggling to even think straight.

Through personal reflections, questions, and expressions of gratitude, Marilyn Nutter leads you to recognize God’s faithful presence in unusual places. Sixty-five brief readings cover widows’ universal experiences with poignant honesty. Marilyn applies Scripture to grief and mourning and looks with transparency at how widowhood dramatically changes a woman’s life. Among the readings are invitations to journal treasured memories, reflect on the additional losses that accompany the death of a spouse, and appreciate unexpected gifts.

Though nothing can fix this irreversible loss, Hope for Widows offers you connections in your grief, guiding you to see hope, grace, and camaraderie on this unfamiliar path.
