Working with widowers can be one of the most challenging parts of a therapist’s career. Despite the need for better research and professional guidance, therapists have often been left alone to confront a group struggling with high rates of suicide, mortality, physical health problems, and depression. Counseling Widowers builds from the latest developments in grief research and men’s studies to bridge the gap between counseling practice and the needs of bereaved men. In these pages, therapists will find tools for adjusting their clinical strategies to work more effectively with these men. Through a more empathic understanding of widowers, therapists can help them build from their strengths as they face the loss of their partner.

This warm, conversational, easily digestible book is for widows—women over 50 who are beginning new lives without their husbands. In So Now You’re a Widow, the author and the 34 women she interviewed share what they wish they had known when they became widowed. As one of the women commented, “People tell you how to decorate your home, drive a car, train your dog, and plan a wedding, but no one tells you how to be a widow.” The women frankly share their advice and experiences on 26 topics, including: finding your inner strength the one-size-does-not-fit-all grieving process dealing with social invitations changes in family dynamics handling finances choosing how you’re going to live your life Plus, a journal section at the end of each chapter allows the reader to personalize what she has read and to gain insight into how she’s dealing with her situation. The women who contributed to this book care deeply about other widowed women and want them to understand that what they are experiencing is normal and has been experienced in one form or another by others. You are not alone!

'This is a wonderful, beautiful little book. It is like a quiet, wise friend, full of comfort and practical counsel, when your world has collapsed or changed beyond recognition. It is like a crib sheet of how to cope; it is as helpful to friends of widows as to the widows themselves, and it is written from experience, which is the bedrock of reliable advice' Joanna Lumley When Jan Robinson's husband died suddenly and unexpectedly, she had the idea of asking any other widows, whenever and wherever she met them, for two tips about how to deal with widowhood – anything that came to mind, whether it was what to do or what not to do, however seemingly unimportant. That is how Tips from Widows started. Grief is an unmanageable emotion and the form it takes is unique to every woman whose husband or partner has died. There are no set rules about coping with loss. Some people struggle with it for years and maybe never get over it. Others manage to move on. This book makes no claim to be an authority on how to cope as a widow, nor does it set out to offer a thorough analysis of widowhood. It is, quite simply, tips from widows. You may be alone in your boat on the ocean, but Tips from Widows will help you to recognise that other boats are out there too.

With foreword by journalist Robert Peston When Jan Robinson's husband died suddenly and unexpectedly, she had the idea of asking any other widows, whenever and wherever she met them, for two tips about how to deal with widowhood. From this advice, she constructed her beautiful first volume, Tips from Widows. To Robinson's surprise, the book generated an overwhelming response not only from widows, but also from widowers. From these outpourings it became evident that a second book, this time for widowers, was inevitable. Grief is an unmanageable emotion and the form it takes is unique to every man whose wife or partner has died. There are no set rules about coping with loss. Some people struggle with it for years and maybe never get over it. Others manage to move on. This book makes no claim to be an authority on how to cope as a widower; it is, quite simply, tips from widowers. You may be alone in your boat on the ocean, but Tips from Widowers will help you to recognise that other boats are out there too.

Sixteen women from all walks of life share their stories of widowhood in this “wonderful collection of ‘life after loss’ experiences” (Natalie Treadwell, founder of Food for Life). When author and life coach Mary Francis found herself widowed at fifty, she turned to other widows for support, understanding, and answers. Now she shares some of the stories that helped her find a new beginning for herself in The Sisterhood of Widows. This powerful book of healing contains sixteen true stories from women who reflect on their lives after the death of their husbands. These women, whose husbands died from accidents, cancer, heart attacks, and even suicide, share their stories openly and honestly. Every widow handles loss differently, yet there is a common bond they share that makes them part of a sisterhood. And each widow’s story provides guidance and insight into the journey of perseverance through grief.

If you or a close friend are now, or about to become, a widower, you need the information in this book now. The physical, emotional, and psychological pain will be greater than you can imagine. A widower is likely to think that they are going crazy, their judgement is distorted, their social filters can be almost nonexistent, and the nights become sleepless delusional times from which there is no escape. Widower to Widower is written to provide widowers with desperately needed help during their grieving process. It also can serve as a resource to therapists (who want to help these men), to friends and family of a widower (to better understand what he is going through), and to women who have befriended a widower so they can make better decisions about their relationship with him.READER REVIEWS"Fred Colby's book, Widower to Widower, explores the often overlooked or minimized expression of male grief. With courage and honesty, Fred shares his experiences as he navigates the grief process following the death of his wife. With a straight-forward voice and clear writing style, Fred provides insight from his personal journey to provide education, understanding and comfort to other men who are grieving. This book is an essential tool for grief counselors as well as their male clients."Mia Towbin, MS, LMFT - Grief Counselor"For any man who has suffered, either recently or not so recently, the death of his beloved wife, Fred Colby's book is essential reading. With refreshing vulnerability and openness, Colby shares the ups and downs of what he went through, while honoring what's unique in each man's experience. As a fellow widower, I give this book my highest recommendation."Robert Devereaux, Widower, Writer, ActorWidower to Widower Description"Following the passing of my wife of 45 years in 2015, the greatest fear I had was that I was going crazy, that I was losing all control over my thoughts, and that I might make decisions that would harm me, my family and my friends... not to mention suicidal thoughts. This scared the hell out of me and made me desperate to find answers so I could avoid making bad life choices. However, I quickly found that the resources for widowers were very minimal and often of questionable value. I have done my best to compile the most vital information that I could find on the widower experience into this one book so the reader would not have to go to as many sources for answers as I had to do." Fred Colby, AuthorIn this book, the reader watches the grief process unfold through thirty blogs Fred wrote during his first year of grieving the loss of his wife. His first non-fiction book blends these blogs together with observations, lessons learned, and information he gathered from others during his grieving process.His therapist at Pathways Hospice in Fort Collins, Colorado urged him to write this book after she too had trouble finding resources to recommend while counseling him. Fred met with and learned from many other widowers, therapists, and licensed counselors during his search for answers. This search took him to group meetings, individual counseling sessions, writings by fellow widowers, and impromptu discussions resulting from happenstance meetings with fellow travelers on the grief journey.As a result of his commitment to finding ways to better help his fellow widowers, Fred helped to launch and co-facilitate a Men's Grief Group at Pathways Hospice, joined its Board of Directors, and is chairing its Capital Campaign Committee to help fund a Children's Healing Garden at Pathways.To write Widower to Widower, Fred drew upon his thirty years of experience writing newsletters, articles, proposals, and brochures during his non-profit and political career in education, social service, and the arts.More Information is available through the author's website at www.fredcolby.com
