From We to Me, My First Year of Being a Widow Shared in Letters to a Friend Maryann Hartzell-curran

Sharing her first year of being a widow, Maryann writes weekly letters to a beloved friend who recently lost her husband. She relates how the celebration of holidays and special occasions influenced her life. Told with poignant acknowledgement of her faith and emotions, the stories speak about the end of a love story and the beginning of a new way of living. Though this is not a "how to " book on grief, she does explain the challenges, experiences, decisions and finally acceptance that changed the life she had known for thirty-two years of marriage. With love, she guides her friend through 52 weeks of the first year, hoping to ease the pain of loss. A "Must Read" for those who have lost a spouse, the book encompasses an honest pathway toward hope in the future. Whether it is read chapter by chapter, week by week, or in its entirety, FROM WE TO ME is a cherished gift when a sympathy card is not enough.
