The stories, all anonymous, discuss the death of partners from a variety of walks of life and from an array of causes, via pneumonia, heart attacks, suicide, renal cell carcinoma with metastasis to the liver, hypertension, edema, congested heart failures, prostate cancer, diabetes, lung cancer, and acute myeloid leukemia with cellulitis. Honest and heartfelt, each widow shares her truth regarding diagnosis, family, funerals, emotions, and recovery. They provide a glimpse into their challenges.

About the Author
Are you curious or wonder what you would encounter when your mate dies? What would you do? Young or old, widows known to us, did not discuss personal details of their husbands’ death. We decided to be different and publicly share personal details and our innermost thoughts. We decided to talk. Before we shared with one another, we believed our thoughts, dreams, and behaviors were abnormal or weird.
