Description
Do you believe in soul mates? What if the death of your soul mate meant the birth of your life-long dream?
A WIDOW'S AWAKENING is a fictional account based on the true story of a young woman’s struggle to come to terms with the death of her police officer husband who died in the line of duty.
Engaging, powerful, heart-wrenching, and at times humorous, this honest look at the first year of a widow’s grief captures the immense difficulty of learning how to accept the unacceptable while transforming loss into positive change—and is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

Jane W, Reviewer
A Widow’s Awakening is a fictionalization of what the author went through when her Canadian policeman died on duty because of an unaddressed workplace safety issue. While trying to make sense of her loss her thoughts and experiences take her through a range of ideas, sometimes rants, about religion, environment, 9/11, and workplace safety among some of them. The one truth she finally realized is that everyone grieves in their own individual way. This was an interesting book about her journey and while this reader did not always agree with her conclusions or her politics, I, as one who also was widowed, have to applaud the effort to move forward one step at a time. I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of this book from NetGalley.
