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.

“I could not put your book down! Even when my eyes were swollen from crying I continued to read. After 5 years my grief is still pretty raw but it comes in waves and tides. I had 18 months of counselling and did not come close to the comfort I got from your book…it gave me hope.” – Brenda C.

20% of the proceeds of the sale of this book go to the John Petropoulos Memorial Fund, which was set up in memory of the author’s husband, Cst John Petropoulos. The Fund’s safety initiatives educate the public that workplace safety for emergency services personnel is a shared responsibility.
