About the Book:

This bestselling book made the shortlist for the 2022 Selfies Autobiography/Memoir Award, a finalist for the Forward Indies Book Award for 2022, and the National Indie Excellence Award Finalist for 2023.

Through her own personal experience of losing her husband, Arlene Sacks offers insights and guidance on how to navigate the process of moving forward upon becoming a widow. She also shares practical advice on how to deal with life after loss, such as managing finances, making decisions on your own, and handling loneliness.

Thirteen other widows featured in the book represent a diverse range of experiences, backgrounds, and cultures. Their stories offer a unique perspective on grief and loss, and how different people cope in their own way.

Moving Forward is not only a source of comfort and solace for those dealing with grief but also a practical guide for those wanting to support a loved one through their journey.

This book is a must-read for anyone who has lost a partner or knows someone who has experienced this devastating loss.
