About The Anthology
I began to wonder, is this really the narrative? So widows die in their black mourning clothes, but men replace their wives and move on… happy ever after? What about the pain? What about the deep healing that’s needed, and our children, who like me, ONLY want their mother? I continued to read book after book that ended this way. I saw new and old movies that depict that same narrative exactly and after the widower is remarried, the credits roll.
