What People are Saying

I’m a 69yr old man who lost his darling loving wife of 42 yrs. The loss of my wife sent me into a state of unrelenting grief. I have read many books on grief thing to get a handle on my life. Many I found to be helpful. It Takes Courage is this the best of them. This book is not just for young widows ! Dr. Matero courageously shares her experience, the ups & downs of her journey, and the hope for today and the future. Reading her book has really let me know that there are people out there who taking the grief journey and doing well. If it was written to be a novel; it would be a good read. If it was written to be a self help book; it would be excellent. If it was written to be a guide for grief group discussions; it would stimulate good group discussion. For me I plan to use it as a reference guide. This book is not just for young widows. I look forward to reading other books written by the author.

WOW!! I started reading it and I couldn’t put it down. Brought back a lot of memories good and bad and I could see the grieving steps of even losing my mother and when I got divorced. I believe this book will help anyone who is grieving and will really resonate and help young widowed mothers and even fathers who are left to raise their children alone. I loved the cover too.

Dr. Matero feels like a friend whose been there before and can walk us through one of the worst experiences that we could ever face. Her advice is genuine and heartfelt. Because she’s done the incredibly hard work of not giving up herself, she isn’t willing to let us and our broken hearts languish into hopelessness. Instead, Dr. Matero will pick us up and remind us that we can get through this together. From dealing with the belongings that a spouse has left behind, to finding creative ways to release the natural feelings that come with grief, we can learn to expect the unexpected in the healing process. I appreciate Dr. Matero’s heart for those who would have to follow in her footsteps. Through her book, we can feel like we have someone in our corner who understands and will patiently let us grieve in our own way and encourage us every step of the way so that we can be able to do the same for our children.
