Publisher's Synopsis
"Reflections beyond the looking glass" is a thoughtful addition to books designed to console and aid grieving widows. This unique book not only illuminates the world of the widow more candidly - as well as confronting the usually unspoken indelicate issues contributed and confirmed by the author's bereaved friends - it also offers detailed practical information for widows and their families. It became clear to the author that, however well-meaning the sympathy, a widow's complex feelings were only truly understood by other widows; therefore, on their behalf, this book also presents a plea for more understanding and respect from humanity - whatever the country, social sphere, race or creed. Encouragingly, the United Nations General Assembly formally ratified International Widows Day in 2010, as held annually on the 23rd June, to recognize widows' human rights.
