In 2009, Margaret Nyman, a wife of forty years and the mother of seven children, found herself a widow after her husband’s sudden illness and death. As she says, “I’ve earned degrees from Wheaton College (BA) and Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism (MA) and have published a dozen articles on family matters. But my husband’s death and the months and years following have been the ‘school’ that has prepared me to write for other widows.” In a daily blog, Margaret has become cyber-friends with hundreds of readers, many of them reeling from the loss of their mates. Their positive feedback has told her to keep writing, and this devotional has grown from that.
