Upon Losing a Spouse

About the Book

Just weeks after losing my husband, Frank, to Parkinson's disease, I heard Nat King Cole singing "Smile" on my car radio. The words hit me: I am a widow — I am now a widow, I thought to myself. What am I to do with my life now? I joined a grief support group through my church. I began writing poetry, which I shared. My poems seemed to bring comfort to others. This was the birth of my little book of poems. I was blessed with fifty-eight beautiful years with my Frank. I dedicate these poems to all who have lost a spouse.
