Suburban Widows Release Journal Book On Grieving

Westchester, IL-Nancy Steker and Susan Troppito had happy suburban marriages and families, until they both became widows way too soon. A Grieving Widows Journal; A Collection of Thoughts is the book they wrote, with intent to share the journey of loss.

 

“ Nancy and I only knew each other through the grammar school our children attended.” explains co-author Susan Troppito. “One day, as Nancy was consoling me, we began discussing our feelings as widows; loneliness, fears, confusion, etc.  So, we decided to write it all down and publish a book.  We each wrote about our personal journey since becoming widows. For me it has been three years and for Nancy it has been eight years since the loss of our husbands.   We certainly don’t feel like we know all the answers but we hope our experiences and thoughts can bring comfort to other widows or anyone suffering from losing a loved one.”
