Losing a spouse or life partner is one of the hardest life events anyone can go through. This journey is a very personal one and will unfold in its own time. There is so much emotion and confusion that needs to be processed, yet you often don't have the tools to help with the grief and healing journey of this new reality. This journal can be just such a tool. The Rise Up: A Widow's Journal captures and tames the thoughts and feelings that might be swirling around in the head and heart of a widow. It is thoughtfully organized into ten chapters that guide along various stages of widowhood, from finding oneself suddenly single to moving forward and living again. Each chapter is illustrated and begins with five questions or thoughts to ponder, followed by 20 quotes to prompt journaled thoughts. It contains essential topics to think about such as faith, love, wisdom, gratitude, and money. It can be followed as laid out or used to turn around a specific piece of this journey. This journal can be a tool that will help a widow process her feelings and empower her with strength and courage to embrace the full life that awaits her. It is designed to be a caring gift for someone whose husband or life partner died recently or in the past few years.
