Widow to Widow shares the experiences of widows who have found comfort and continuity in mutual-help and community support programs. In the second edition of her pioneering text, Phyllis Silverman brings the success of the original widow-to-widow program into the 21st century, preparing a new generation of community leaders, clergy, counselors, hospice staff, social workers, and the widowed themselves to organize and implement mutual-help programs.

Recensioner i media

'Widow to Widow powerfully links theory and practice perspectives through the extensive use of case illustrations...its comprehensive knowledge base and the challenge to the professional monopoly of bereavment care, makes this an important text for all carers, new or experienced, who are offering support to the widowed.' - Linda Machin, Bereavement Care, 2006
