Carol Longenecker's New Book, "Checking the Widow Box" is an Uplifting Handbook That Guides Widows on Coping With Losing a Husband.
Recent release "Checking the Widow Box" from Covenant Books author Carol Longenecker is a helpful book that encourages widows as they continue living life to the fullest even after losing a great part of their identity, from making major decisions to fulfilling dreams.
Billings, MT, March 9, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Carol Longenecker, a native Montanan with two children and six grandchildren, has completed her new book, “Checking the Widow Box”: a heartwarming work that reminds women who have lost their husbands that God is the provider of comfort and hope in the midst of pain and sorrow.
Carol shares, “I learned that grief is like a shadow—a permanent, attached part of me. It used to cast a long, obvious shadow, but now, even though that shadow is short and sometimes hidden, it is and always will be there. I have learned that you cannot fully understand grief ’s broken heart until you experience it yourself. I learned that sorrow and joy can exist side by side, not only in the same day but in the same moment. I learned that my anchor in Christ was strong enough to hold me through the storm. I learned that I needed salty tears to wash my broken heart. I learned that just as others’ lives continued on around me, I had to make my own also go on. I learned how to redefine “a hope and a future” because my future was no longer linked to my spouse. I am learning to deal with loneliness as I learn to fill the holes left by my husband’s death. I learned that grief is weird, making me feel conspicuous yet invisible, surrounded yet alone, comforted yet afraid. I learned to do the things I think I cannot do. I learned that every loss has layers. I learned how to navigate through my own journey of loss and pain.”
