After I had written a list of things I have learned over the last 16 months I read it again and decided that it would make a great basis for a book on the first year of my life as a widow.I was widowed on the 20th of December 2010 at 6am. My husband breathed his last breath in our home and in that moment life, as I had known it for 27 years had ceased to exist and the 25 years of care giving had suddenly stopped. At that point in time, like most widows, I descended into a fog that carried me through the first few weeks. This fog protects the mind to a degree and aids the bereaved in coming to terms with the sudden changes in their lives. Changes that no one plans for, that no one wants, but changes that are happening all around you from the moment that you become a widow or widower.My family and friends were wonderful, but were unable to reach me through that fog for many weeks. I remember waking each morning and putting my feet on the floor and wondering what I was going to do with the day now that I no longer had my husband to care for. I think during that time I did withdraw from almost everyone and for that I am sorry, but for my own sake and for the sake of others I needed to pull away and lick my wounds. I did not want to drag anyone down the path of grief with me and did not want anyone to witness the depth of the grief I felt. I have always been a private person with things like this and it probably stems from my childhood in the United Kingdom where a stiff upper lip is taught to all children in my family. Grief is a private thing and not for the consumption of others. This is what I was taught as a child and something I have carried through my life and even now am reluctant to show this grief to others.I did not cry at his funeral, the fog was still so thick that there is still an unreality attached to that day. I remember the details, but they are almost misty and feel like they are someone else's memories. I had promised him too, that I would not let the world see me cry on that day and to honour his memory I held myself together. I felt like ice inside though and tears were ready to melt and shed.I do believe though that I had shed many tears over the years we were together and during the times when the Doctors told me that he would not survive. Those were the times for tears, grief for the little things that were slowly being taken away from him and us. The ever-present threat of death for all those years meant that the grieving had become a part of life and that may have softened somewhat the pangs after he died. I will never know as I can only share the journey that I have taken in the hopes that it will help someone else along the wayWriting this book is part of my dream and part of the person I am. It is part, only part of the story of this year and a half of my life. This book has come to mean a lot to me, sharing this journey with others also means a lot as this may help some other widow or widower with their start upon this journey.

Imagine yourself dealing with spousal loss and discovering that ALL your income sources have suddenly frozen, including bank accounts, Social Security, pension, and brokerage accounts. You have a mound of paper work and need access to the death certificate, safe deposit box and/or legal papers, even your original Social Security card to prove your identity, marriage and loss. But with Covid-19 banks and government offices are closed. As a matter of fact, you can't even have a formal funeral, wake, Shiva or bereavement to help you mourn your loss. A mountain of demands and paper work stretches out before you with little support or ability to fill out the forms and reopen these accounts. This was the situation I encountered in April 2020 when even my husband's death certificate took eight weeks to arrive. Caught in grief and loss, I vowed as I fought through these challenges that I would leave a trail for others who follow me. I wrote WIDOWHOOD 101 to help widows and widowers prepare for these next steps. Few of us know that our wills and powers of attorney are only two small parts of this new equation. Each chapter ends with "Lessons Learned" to help make your passage easier. This book is targeted to those generally 65 or older, who have a comfortable financial base and have had long marriages. It not only includes my experience but also is based on about 40 interviews with friends and their friends of comparable backgrounds, most of whom were not caught in Covid-19. But they still ran into buzz saws. Among the tips to share: COMMUNICATE with your spouse about end-of-life decisions far in advance, including nursing home vs. home care; burial vs. cremation; even the type of ceremony preferred; COMMUNICATE about your finances and have all pertinent records in one place with accessibility that you share not only with each other but also with your executor. IF A SECOND MARRIAGE involving children in one or both, make sure you have an excellent estate attorney to protect all rights from challenges, especially an attorney not planning to retire in the next couple of years.WIDOWHOOD 101: NEXT STEPS is my story, my grief and all. It's honest...and hopefully will be helpful.

Widowhood 103 was not part of the planned Widowhood Series. It came about due to a happy accident. The author sent copies of Widowhood 101 and 102 to a friend to read. That triggered some unresolved issues and this lady was finally able to grieve long held pain. Not the pain of losing a loved one, but the pain of the loss of a marriage and the loss of her dreams. Grief is very much a personal time. It overcomes your life in moments and can sweep you into a world of pain. Grief cannot be rushed, it can't be forced, all you can do is feel the grief and let it flow. That pain needs to be resolved and given time to become a dull ache. Once it dulls down you learn to live again. The author has learned to live again, slowly, step by step, it has happened.

Did the expanding economic life of England after the Black Death improve the lot of women, as is commonly thought? This study argues not. It has long been thought that the post Black Death period offered unparallelled opportunities for women. However, through a careful consideration of economic and legal changes affecting women of all social classes and conditions, the author shows that this was not the case, taking issue with orthodox opinion. She argues that marriage at a late age was not customary for women, and that the ability of wives to supplement their income with intermittent paid labour (at harvest time, for example) was not so great as has been supposed: rather, most married women spent more time on unpaid agricultural labour on their own land than their peers had done in the pre-plague economy. ProfessorMate also demonstrates that there is little evidence to support the current belief that widowhood was the period in a woman's life when she enjoyed most power, freedom, and independence; moreover, legal changes were a mixed blessing for women, leaving some widows with a larger portion and a more secure title to land, but totally depriving others. Throughout, the book pays much attention to class as well as gender, showing how many things were determined byit, from what a woman wore or ate to the age at which she married, her power within the household, and even her vulnerability to rape. The late MAVIS E. MATE was Professor of History Emerita, University of Oregon.

Jan Thompson takes you with her through the first year of widowhood. Honest and real, from the agony of uselessness to the newness of purpose, widows will know that they are not alone. Families, friends and pastors will better understand how to relate and minister to the widow. When she felt she would suffocate in her anguish, Jan felt the breath of the Holy Spirit. When she reached out for her husband, it was God who touched her. The widow brings before her Lord all that she has, and places it on the altar. God blesses her mite into a strength she could not have imagined, and gives her "The Widow's Might" to live once again; abundantly, in victory and grace.
