Kate's Book

For those who have been widowed young, Kate Boydell's book, 'Death and How to Survive It' - often simply called 'Kate's Book' by those who have depended upon its wisdom - is essential reading. So is her website 'Merrywidow' - www.merrywidow.me.uk. There are very few sources of genuine and useful help, but this is one of them. It does not pretend that things won't be hard (once we've entered into grieving we can work that out for ourselves), but it does say that there is hope - that healing is possible and that the bereaved can be happy. The alternative - bitterness, depression, a blighted life - is too awful to contemplate, so, Kate's Book it is - thank you, Kate!
