A Widow’s Awakening
By Maryanne Pope
Eight years in the making, this extraordinary – and true – story of soul mates, saints, saviours, suicide and safety in the workplace charts a young woman’s emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual journey through the first year of grief after the on-duty death of her husband, a police officer. Told in the style of creative non-fiction, A Widow’s Awakening is a heart-wrenching, humorous and honest portrayal of the difficult process of accepting the unacceptable.
