Within an instant, I became a widow in my early 50's...
- a pill that is proving quite impossible to swallow, even now after 2+ years and in the company of our rewarding teenage family.
Working many hours to repay a mortgage, my lone journeys by bus seem shorter since approaching each one as "my time" and indulged in a good read as opposed to dwelling on the inconveniences of public transport.
What do widows read? Perhaps you can make some suggestions... ?
I used to read purely to source information, however now I am drawn to light novels that include: widows, humour, hope and companionship.
I started by reading the hilarious; "Dear Fatty", Dawn French's memoirs, Julie Walters autobiography and "Toast" by Nigel Slater. I then got hooked when I discovered Author, Debbie Macomber - her books: Christmas in Seattle, Twenty Wishes, Thursdays at Eight and Old Boyfriends. Alongside I have read: Good Grief by Lolly Winston, Storytelling by Annette Simmons and Emotional Rollercoaster by Claudia Hammond.
Acceptance and open mindedness have definitely proved good routes to explore and develop. How about you?
