Book excerpt: Critics across the country have raved about Joyce Carol Oates’s ground-breaking memoir A Widow’s Story, lauding its blazing honesty and raw emotion, calling it “immensely moving,” “searing,” “enthralling,” “brave,” “slyly mordant,” and “astonishingly candid.” On a February morning in 2008, Joyce Carol Oates drove her ailing husband, Raymond Smith, to the emergency room of the Princeton Medical Center, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia. In less than a week, Ray died from a hospital-acquired virulent infection—and Joyce was suddenly faced with the stunning reality of widowhood. A Widow’s Story illuminates one woman’s struggle to comprehend a life absent of the partnership that had sustained and defined her for nearly half a century. As never before, Joyce Carol Oates shares the derangement of denial, the anguish of loss, the disorientation of the survivor amid a nightmare of “death duties,” and the solace of friendship. Here is a frank acknowledgment of the widow’s desperation—only gradually yielding to the recognition that “this is my life now.” Enlivened by the piercing vision, acute perception, and mordant humor that are the hallmarks of the work of Joyce Carol Oates, this moving tale of life and death, love and grief, offers a candid, never-before-glimpsed view of this acclaimed author and fiercely private woman.

Download or read book Writing Widowhood written by Jeffrey Berman and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2015-10-07 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores how memoirs of widowhood can help us understand the reality of bereavement and the critical role of writing and reading in recovery. The death of a beloved spouse after a lifetime of companionship is a life-changing experience. To help understand the reality of bereavement, Jeffrey Berman focuses on five extraordinary American writers—Joan Didion, Sandra Gilbert, Gail Godwin, Kay Redfield Jamison, and Joyce Carol Oates—each of whom has written a memoir of spousal loss. In each chapter, Berman gives an overview of the writer’s life and art before widowhood, including her early preoccupation with death, and then discusses the writer’s memoir and her life as a widow. He discovers that writing was, for all of these authors, both a solace and a lifeline, enabling them to maintain bonds with their lost loved ones while simultaneously moving on with their lives. These memoirs of widowhood, Berman maintains, reveal not only courage and resilience in the face of loss, but also the critical role of writing and reading in bereavement and recovery. “Writing Widowhood is a stunning achievement that combines biography, literary history, and theoretical and philosophical exploration into the nature of grief as well as mental illness—all seamlessly executed. Berman elegantly and lucidly conveys a range of theories and perspectives to suit both academic and general readers. Berman never compromises complexity while remaining accessible and straightforward throughout.” — Virginia L. Blum, author of Flesh Wounds: The Culture of Cosmetic Surgery “Writing Widowhood contributes to the field of autobiography/biography, and particularly to women’s writing within that generic field, by discussing five memoirs which Berman categorizes as the ‘widow memoir.’ No other critic that I know has shaped commentaries into a newly defined genre. Berman’s book, thus, makes an important contribution to the overall field.” — Linda Wagner-Martin, author of Telling Women’s Lives: The New Biography

God heard her prayer and like one being raised from the dead he slowly regained his health. At the end of a year he was able to take work in the ministry. His first charge was Houghton Center, near lake Erie. He had a great revival that year and many souls were saved. He was there two years which was the limit at that time. His next charge was Chatham Circuit, a long move of two or three hundred miles He worked very hard and mother was a great help to him. He was returned the second year and in October of that year he had another revival and many were converted including four of his own children, and I can assure you there was great rejoicing at the parsonage. At the close of that year he' had typhoid fever and at conference time was unable to take work, and after his recovery taught school until the next conference, when he entered the regular work again.

Book excerpt: Not just for widows and widowers, this book is for anyone who wants to understand the searing pain of losing a spouse. On your worst days, Widowed: When Death Sucks the Life out of You comes along beside you like a trusted friend and offers hope, reassuring you that life after a spouse's death exists-that joy can mingle with grief. This book teaches pastors, counselors, and friends of the bereaved how the grieving can "learn to live with and embrace the dichotomy of joy and sorrow." "Nearly 700,000 women lose their husbands each year, and they will be widows for an average of fourteen years. Fran Geiger Joslin, who knows the rough seas of such grief, writes as an empathic companion. As one who has 'been there, ' she explores a broad range of questions such as: What should I put on the headstone? What do I do with my desire for physical intimacy? And shouldn't I feel better by now? Drawing from her journals, experiences, and research, Joslin has created in Widowed: When Death Sucks the Life out of You a work that takes readers into the uncharted waters of 'the new normal' and helps them find calmer seas." Sandra Glahn, Ph.D., Author, Associate Professor of Media Arts and Worship, Editor-in-chief of Kindred Spirit "I wish my widowed friends had this book when they experienced the heartbreak of losing a spouse. Full of practical, empathetic information, Joslin's book serves as a needed friend on an unwanted but necessary journey after grief. I highly recommend this book." Mary DeMuth Speaker and author of more than thirty books including, The Day I Met Jesus

Book excerpt: Like two chips in a cookie, Linda and Ed Sclier were rolling happily along in their marriage-only to have everything come undone when Ed was diagnosed with cancer. Less than a year later, he died, turning Linda's world upside down. In A Gift of Love, she narrates her grief journey, shares the highlights of the wonderful man she fell in love with and married, describes the love they shared, and tells about the woman she has become since her soul mate died. While tracing a golden thread of treasured memories, A Gift of Love shares the struggles of a dying man, his untimely death, and his widow's deepest sorrows. Telling the story of their lives and her sorrow with grace and honesty, Linda gives a step-by-step accounting of love, loss, and the celebration of her soul mate's end, while marking her new beginning. More than fulfilling the promise she made to her husband on his deathbed to write his story, this memoir teaches life's valuable lesson: when you lose a spouse, life goes on-and love does live forever. Most of all, it acts as a reminder that though life can change suddenly, each one of us possesses the power to decide to accept the unthinkable.
