A recent gay widower may find that
once the shock and initial confusion of losing his partner is overcome,
there are still many hard, lonely, and overwhelming stages of grief to
be worked through. Gay Widowers is a start to the healing process.
Its editor and authors hope that by sharing their stores of loss, pain,
and bewilderment, they will help others in mourning as well as make one
more step forward in their own healing.
By bringing forth these stories, Gay Widowers
offers bereaved men, psychologists, counselors, and social workers -- in
a society where the mourning process is generally a heterosexual, social
construct -- a practical an clinical overview of the issues relevant, and
perhaps unique, to the mourning process.
