Goodness, what a sweet, heartbreaking, loving book.
So glad I read it.

Thanks to author, publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Jenny is happily married and they have two kids. Her husband makes a doctors appointment because he is feeling dizzy and not himself. He is told to go see a neurosurgeon and learn that he has a brain tumor. This book takes you on a brutally honest and thought provoking journey of dealing with an aggressive type of cancer.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read this gorgeous book. Future Widow is heartbreaking and yet completely necessary I think for everyone to pick up. It’s sad, it’s hard to read, it’s emotional; but we all know someone who’s lost someone and while Jenny lost her spouse this can apply to anyone who’s lost someone they love. She speaks candidly about what a journey she and her family went through when her husband Dennis is diagnosed with glioblastoma. She shares the details of their eight month battle. She speaks candidly about what it’s like to have to be a caregiver and parent to two young children. I don’t know Jenny, but I was so touched by her story.
Grief looks different on everyone, and maybe you can’t relate exactly to her losses; but you can gain some knowledge and compassion because you never know when you’ll need it.

After a recent death in my partner's family, I've been thinking a lot about illness, loss and grief and what we know about it all. Reading individual people's experiences is helpful for me, as I come to understand it all. This story was beautifully portrayed, sad, and thoughtful, but also inspiring.

I received a copy of, Future Widow, by Jenny Lisk. This is a very powerful and well written book. Learning your husband has a brain tumor and caring for him and losing him.
