Brave In a New World: A Guide to Grieving

In January of 2009, author Yvonne Broady’s husband, Clarence Cortez Loftin III (Chuck), passed away peacefully at home at the age of sixty-one after his battle with pancreatic cancer. He meant everything to her; he was her dream guy and guiding light. With his death, Chuck's anguish and pain were extinguished, while Broady’s painful journey was about to begin. Brave in a New World shares the author's journey through the grieving process and how she gradually learned to re-create a new life for herself.Through personal examples, she illustrates the variety of changes the death of a spouse brings for those who are left behind, and gives advice on how one can handle the emotional pain and rebuild a life after loss. Serving as a guide and source of inspiration and hope for others who are grieving the loss of a spouse, Brave in a New World narrates the effects of the grieving process—a long and arduous course—and the only one who can get through it is the one who is left: the bereaved spouse.
