New Book Highlights Challenges Widows Face in Today's world

BELLINGHAM, Wash. - April 5, 2019 - PRLog -- Lynda Cheldelin Fell, creator of the award-winning Grief Diaries, announced the release of the series 35^th book, "Through the Eyes of a Widow."

The #1 New Release on Amazon takes readers inside the lives of 13 women ranging in age from 31 to 73 who share personal insight into widowhood and how they coped with the challenges of losing a husband.

Topics addressed include handling home maintenance, returning to the marital bed alone, loss of her husband's income, feeling vulnerable without a spouse, contending with social shifts, views on remarriage, and more.

According to the Loomba Foundation, a global research and charity organization, the average age for widows is just 59.

"When a husband dies, a woman's blessed and happy life is suddenly replaced by one filled with multiple challenges that reach far beyond her grief. With little societal support, she's often left struggling to adapt to a life she didn't plan," said Cheldelin Fell. "The book offers insight from widows who pass along their own personal reflections and tools for managing life in the aftermath, along with understanding for what the reader is going through."

"Through the Eyes of a Widow" is coauthored by widows Mary Lee Robinson, an award-winning blogger and founder of Widowlution, and Maryann Mueller, an author who helps widows through writing.

The book is available in 40,000 retail outlets around the world including Amazon and Barnes & Nobles.
