Adapting to Change: Stories to Prepare, Be, and Help a Widow
Authors of the book, “Widows Among Us: Stories to Prepare, Be, and Help a Widow," were interviewed on the Zen Success Show
Rebecca K. LaChance, Ph.D., lost her husband of twenty-five years from a heart attack in the early days of the Covid pandemic. Her experience of becoming a widow and grieving was deeply influenced by pandemic restrictions, her neurodiverse brain, childhood traumas, and her introversion.
Rebecca was a Registered Nurse for over thirty years, specializing in Critical Care. Her academic career focused on the impact of a significant other’s death, including her doctoral thesis about how advance directives were implemented in a military medical hospital.
