"How would you feel if you woke up to discover that your seemingly healthy fifty-six-year-old husband was dead? Crossing the Minefield is the inspirational story of one woman's gut wrenching journey following a cold November morning that changed her life forever. The author takes a more intimate look at the usual stages of grief, including anger, confusion, depression, guilt and acceptance. Issues that are rarely covered in grief books, like widow brain, sex and safe guarding, happiness guilt and skin hunger are also explored. With support and advice from the author, other widows and grief counselors, this compelling account gives readers who have suffered any kind of loss a realistic look at the road to recovery."--[p. 4] of cover.
