After the loss of her husband to a rare cancer, Kristin Meekhof searched for the book that would tell her, step by step, the answer to the question what do I do now?! She never found it, despite finding many other books of comfort. And so, after her own grief had found its place in her new life, she decided to write the book she had wanted. Enlisting the help of a former colleague and friend (and also a therapist) they wrote the book, clearly spelling out what needs attention in the days, weeks, months and years following the loss of a spouse. Subtitled Gentle Support for the First 5 Years, the book holds widows' hands as they navigate the unfamiliar.
