The Group: Seven Widowed Fathers Reimagine Life

The Group: Seven Widowed Fathers Reimagine Life weaves together contemporary thinking on grief, adaptation, resiliency and post-traumatic growth with the true story of seven men who joined a support group for widowed parents. Disoriented and devastated by his loss, none was enthusiastic about the idea of sharing the most painful chapter of his life with complete strangers. But the men connected almost immediately, and over the next several years forged a deep bond as monthly meetings evolved into a forum for healing and personal reinvention that transformed them in unexpected ways.

The authors co-led the support group and partnered with the men to write their story, which is interspersed with the latest in bereavement research conveyed in an easily relatable way. The fathers' touching efforts to care for themselves, their families, and each other offers a gripping narrative that shows how each of us has the potential to rebuild new and meaningful lives. Powerful, enlightening and hopeful, The Group helps readers make sense of grief and inspires them to reimagine their lives moving forward.
