A Catholic Approach to Widowhood

by Roberta Charneski

Overview

A meditation on the many spects of grief that touch the painful moments leading to the death of a loved one. But this book goes much further by charting the course of grief that occurs after death. The sorrow caused by the loss of other dear ones: children and close friends. Above all she identifies with the grief of Mary, the mother of Jesus, who mourned the death of Joseph and then walked the Way of the Cross to the death of her son. Foreword by Bishop Robert Morneau, DD; Preface by Alfred McBride, O.Praem.
