Offering hope that you can amend your shattered dreams, Amending Dreams-Reflections and Meditations of a Widow, offers personal reflections concerning feelings, thoughts, moods, problems, joys and discoveries that were stored in journals after the death of Joyce George's husband of 28 years.

In addition to personal experiences generously shared with you, the author is Reiki II practitioner and also uses knowledge acquired from Inner Child Healing and Channeling for Self Healing workshops as healing suggestions.

Biblical quotes provide spiritual reflection opportunities for most topics, including forgiving your spouse for dying; guilt experienced when going through your spouse's personal items; possible obsessive behavior; loneliness; grieving, and how to move on.

Lastly, a prayer after each reading assists your finding words that simply may not come to mind just yet. Combined with an offering of gratitude, each prayer requests assistance from the Lord to guide your continuing transition into your new life.

While this book is written for widows, it is beneficial for family, friends, co-workers of widows and widowers, as well as those in public service positions. It will spark an awareness and sensitivity for those enveloped in the stages of grief.
