A companion guide for Twice Widowed

A Terrible-Beautiful Adventure

You didn't sign up to become someone new. You just wanted your life back.

The life you knew is gone. You don't fit neatly into the one that's left. When loss changes the world around you, it can change how you experience yourself inside it. This companion gives you ways to meet yourself there.

20 companion pieces · Complimentary Twice Widowed ebookRooted in lived experience · Brain & body research · Not a prescription · An invitation

This companion doesn’t ask you to accomplish grief. It stays with you while you notice what is already happening.

You won’t find stages here, timelines, or another way to measure yourself against. You’ll meet lived story, research that helps name what may be happening in your brain and body, practices you can return to, and Quiet Truths and reflection spaces.

Some of us process with words. Others with walking, prayer, silence, making, art, or simply being still. There is more than one way to meet your changed life. This companion makes room for that.

Who am I now?

I asked that question too. Once in my twenties and then again in my fifties. I thought my first experience might prepare me for the second. I hoped it would. But the thing is, it couldn’t.

I wasn’t her anymore.

There was no template, not even mine. All you know is your experience in the world and with yourself is forever changed. My hope is that this companion guide will give you ways to meet yourself there anew.

How it arrives

The companion includes 20 pieces. A new piece arrives each Monday. Read each piece online or download the print-friendly PDF. Use the Scribbling spaces when they fit, and return to earlier pieces whenever you wish.

The weekly number tells you when something is being sent. It does not tell you where you should be in grief.

The memoir and the companion

Twice Widowed tells the story. A Terrible-Beautiful Adventure gives you ways to stay with your own.

The companion grew from the lived experience told in Twice Widowed, not from a formula for grief. A complimentary ebook edition of the memoir is included. Read them together, separately, or return to either one later.

Planning only a few gatherings a year?

You do not need the annual Organizational License. A small organization can use the $597 Group & Facilitator Edition one cohort at a time. If your use grows, the $2,997 annual Organizational License provides multiple-facilitator access, facilitator training and orientation, and unlimited cohorts during the license year. Five $597 cohort purchases total $2,985, so the annual license becomes a natural value comparison around that level of use.

30-Day Refund Policy — You have 30 days from purchase to request a refund through ClickBank, subject to ClickBank’s return policy.

The life after loss is not the life before it. The companion was made to help you live inside what has changed.

This companion does not ask you to prove that it worked.

Return to what helps. Leave what doesn't.
