A Widow's Walk by Marian Fontana Pdf

On September 11, I dropped my son off at his second full day of kindergarten. The sky was so blue it looked as if it had been ironed. I crossed the street, ordered coffee, and sat to wait for my husband to meet me. It was our eighth wedding anniversary and Dave and I were about to begin a new chapter in our seventeen years together. Sipping coffee, I watched as a line of thick black smoke crept across the sky from Manhattan, oblivious to the fact that my life was about to change forever. On September 11, 2001, Marian Fontana lost her husband, Dave, a firefighter from the elite Squad 1 in Brooklyn, in the World Trade Center attack. A Widow's Walk begins that fateful morning, when Marian, a playwright and comedienne, became a widow, a single mother, and an unlikely activist. Two weeks after 9/11, the city attempted to close Squad 1, which had suffered the loss of twelve men. Known for her feisty spirit and passionate loyalty, Marian, who was still reeling from her profound loss, began to mobilize the neighborhood to keep the firehouse open. From this unlikely platform the 9/11 Widows and Victims' Families Association grew. Over the next twelve months, Marian struggled with the tragedy's endless ripple effects, from the minute and deeply personal—she wonders who will play Star Wars with her son, Aidan, and carry him on his shoulders; to the collective: she works to get families and widows necessary information about the recovery effort and attends private meetings with Governor Pataki, Mayor Giuliani, Senator Clinton, and Mayor Bloomberg. Through it all, Marian's irrepressible humor is her best armor, as well as evidence of her buoyant strength. Written with great heart and humanity, A Widow's Walk is a timely opportunity for remembrance and a timeless testament to love's loss and the resilience of the human spirit.

A Widow's Walk Off-Grid to Self-Reliance by Anne Dodds Pdf

The inspiring, true story of Anne Dodds. When her husband passed away after a long, trying illness, Annie Dodds was forced to sell almost everything to settle his estate. Homeless, with little money, she wondered if it might be time to pursue a decades-old dream of living a quiet, self-sufficient life alone, off-grid. One day, when her son told her he knew of an old house on fifty acres, she knew it was time. Feeling empowered and prepared by having read so much over the years, she loaded her belongings into the back of her pickup truck. But as she pulled into the driveway that first day, she could not imagine the challenges she would face, the obstacles she would overcome, the self-doubts she would master, and the soul-strengthening peace and contentment she would find living in a rundown old home on fifty acres of country heaven. ============================= "March, 2014: Thank you to all who pointed out some embarrassing editing oversights in the book.

Walk With a Widow Empower. Educate. Prepare.: A Guide to Launching the Walk With a Widow Program by Cynthia Mascarenhas Pdf

Walk with a Widow was founded with the purpose of equipping the church with tools and resources to provide much needed immediate and ongoing support to a new widow. Our mission is to empower widows, educate non-widows, and prepare married couples for the inevitable. In the early days of widowhood, a widow needs other people to come alongside her and help with any emotional, spiritual, and practical challenges she encounters. The people around her, including the church, find themselves ill-equipped to help her; hence, they stay away. We educate non-widows on "what to say" and "what not to say"; we give them tips on how to understand a widow. We also provide practical resources that can be used to help widows. By educating non-widows, we enable them to empower widows and we get them to a place where they are not as uncomfortable around the subjects of grief and death. Lastly, we understand that a lot of widows and widowers would find themselves in a better place if they had taken the time to have the difficult conversations about death and widowhood. We provide conversation starters, discussion points, and practical tools for financial/legal matters. Starting these conversations early in a marriage, and continuing them throughout the course of a marriage allows a couple to be more equipped mentally and emotionally to make end-of-life decisions. Our Guidebook also offers resources and tools for married couples in respite care; we believe it is wise to walk alongside a person caring for a terminally ill spouse and then transition into walking with the widow or widower. Our Guidebook offers suggestions on how to set up a core team within the church which will coordinate assistance for a widow using the already existing ministries in the church. We give tips on how to set up boundaries, how to avoid certain pitfalls, and how to circumvent certain challenges in showing care for a widow. We hope and pray that our resources allow a church to take seriously the biblical mandate in James 1:27 to "care for the widows and orphans". Our desire is to see the church be the hands and feet of Jesus in the hurting world of widows.
