Confessions of a Mediocre Widow
Author(s): Catherine Tidd
After crashing headlong into the side of a truck while riding his motorcycle to work, Brad Tidd was rushed to the hospital where complications led to his death. In one moment, Catherine's entire life was thrown into upheaval. The future they planned together was gone and there was no road-map for how to grieve for her husband. Delving into websites and books, no one could quite relate to her experience. How do you support your children when you're falling apart? How do you get a job when you have three young kids at home? When is it okay to date? You can use the life insurance money to buy a sports car if it makes you feel better, right? This is a look at love, loss, and how we cope the changes that life throws at us.
Product Information
There's a world of beauty packed inside Tidd's book...Her mettle: She pours the past seven years onto pages for all of us to read and learn from, particularly her "Tips for widow(er)s and those who support them." Her take-down of the empty platitudes we mutter to people who are suffering ("He's in a better place." "Everything happens for a reason.") should be required reading for all humankind...We'd all do well to follow her lead.
