Beyond Loss takes its readers from the first week after the death of a loved one through the next month, year, and even the next several years. Beginning with the experiences of the authors, all of who were widowed, the book tells how these three women renewed their lives, their hopes and their reasons to survive.

But Beyond Loss is also a very practical guide to starting life over just when it seems impossible to go on. The authors include sections on how to find out what your financial assets and debits are, when to contact a lawyer and accountant, and an immensely valuable chart showing exactly what needs to be done and when it needs to be done. Warm, sensible, and sincere, Beyond Loss is an invaluable book that will carry its readers through grief and beyond.
