Description: Forty-three widows tell their stories, in their own words, revealing how each woman deals with the trauma of bereavement differently. Whether you are a widow yourself or have simply experienced loss, you will be sure to find something moving and profound in these diverse tales of mourning, remembrance, and resilience.

Review Quotes: "Widows' Words is an invaluable tool for understanding loss, mourning and grief, and an equally fascinating and compelling read with diverse and varied points of views, which proved to me that every loss is unique yet universal. Nan Bauer-Maglin has brought together many strong female voices that both define and redefine the concept of 'widow.'"--Jonathan Santlofer "author of The Widower's Notebook: A Memoir"
