Information About Ordering The Book
Becoming a widow is one of the most
difficult experiences a woman ever faces. Now, finally,
there is a book that shows widows that there is light at
the end of the tunnel. Doors Close, Doors Open
based on seven years of research, shows that women not
only recover from this loss but go on to live exciting
and interesting new lives.
Doors Close, Doors Open is based on Morton
Lieberman's interviews with seven hundred widows and
widowers over the course of seven years. In this book he
shares the wisdom he has gained, retelling women's
stories about the pain and anger and challenges they face
in the first few months of being widowed. But most
important, Lieberman has made discoveries that expose
many of the pernicious myths about widows, and discloses
the surprising sources of help for women, and the good
news about what most widows experience. The vast majority
of women, after a painful time, found themselves
flourishing--living different but satisfying lives, and
changing and growing in ways they never could have
dreamed of. This is a book that offers comfort and
consolation by understanding so much of what so many
women go through and by revealing the truth about widows:
that women of all ages have the ability to respond to
tragedy, to deal effectively with challenges, and to
realize new ways to live and be well.
