How to be a Merry Widow

How to be a Merry Widow

by Mary Rogers. Spicely illustrated by Mig.
Life after death for the older lady. If you are looking for a politically correct, objective view of how to cope with bereavement – do NOT buy this book!

Mary Rogers writes with candour and humour, in a deeply personal style. She manages to be funny, moving and at the same time, practical.

This is a book about coming to terms with widowhood after the shock of bereavement has begun to ease.

Mary says . . . I am writing this in my first year of living alone. Although there have been times when I would have given the rest of my life for five minutes in his arms, there is a positive side to being single again and losing a husband sometimes means finding oneself.

Chapters include: Farewell Loneliness; Hello Friends; Keeping Your Status; Couples, Romance And Sex; The Meaning Of Loss; Feeling Safe; Go For Comedy ~ Go For Culture; Solo Housekeeping; Food Glorious Food; Going Places; Someone For The Weekend, Madam? and, Moving On Mary Rogers also addresses the widow’s all-important skill . . . the ability to say ‘No’.

Mig’s illustrations add just the right amount of spice to Mary Roger’s food for thought.
