How to cope with issues dating a widower
This book has taught me how to deal with insecurities I have within the relationship.. finding ways to discuss problems.. when to talk about concerns.. and what’s acceptable to talk about.. what’s acceptable to accept. I think I needed this book to be true to myself about what is good and bad.

Disappointing
I guess I expected a lot more from this book. It includes some decent info & advice but that I would mostly class as common sense. Several things I didn’t like however, are:
- what was often referred as “healthy boundaries” sounded incredibly strict and didn’t allow to put into context everyone’s individual circumstances, it felt somewhat rigid and somewhat black & white as to what is healthy or not.
- Timings were also missing from expectations and the fact everyone grieves at a different pace.
- Finally, they were hardly any references to situations where the widower has become the sole parent of children, which clearly change a lot of the dynamics and grieving process, nor provide any advice on how to approach those cases.
Overall, it seemed to be more about sharing the author’s personal experience than a well rounded guide, with towards the end a lot more examples from other people.
