James Windell Knihy

Vdov je mnoho a musejí zvládnout často několik desetiletí života v osamělosti. Kniha Kristin Meekhof a James Windella je knihou pro jednu nejčastější a ve všech kulturách nejohroženější skupinu osamělých - pro vdovy. Kniha nabízí zcela konkrétní pomoc do těžkých prvních týdnů po úmrtí manžela, ale její silná stránka tkví i v tom, že na rozdíl od mnoha jiných počítá s pětiletým obdobím, kterým vdovy provází. Nabízí jak mnoho praktických rad a postupů v oblastech, kde je toho potřeba, tak mnoho výpovědí vdov, které si truchlením prošly a byly ochotny se o své prožitky a zkušenosti podělit. Autorka pracovala mnoho let se skupinou stovky vdov různého stáří a s jejich názory, je to cenný potenciál této publikace. Kniha má mnoho výborných hodnocení v zahraničních internetových knihkupectvích a doufáme, že pomůže i u nás.
