Enjoyed the book. It ran true to the situation.
So far its the best book on grieving I have read from a widow's standpoint.
 real and honest and beautifully written October 21, 2008

We're all going to die and we're all going to face the death of loved ones in our lives. Some of us write about it but few that I've read write about it as well as this. Roiphe is as she says -- sad -- and honest in talking about her grief and loneliness and hope. I bought it after I read a library copy because I wanted to have it for my own so I can read it again when I am facing these feelings myself.

Sorry to be the first dissenting opinion, but before Mrs. Roiphe is elevated to sainthood I feel I need to point out that I don't know if I will ever be able to finish this book. A terrible thing happened to her, yes, and I appreciate that writing about it to deal with it is just what she does. But her self-pity is hard to take after the first few chapters. I completely respect her right to feel sorry for herself, but I just can't bear to read about it. Hopefully she will eventually make some progress in dealing with her grief - dare I suggest, even a little humor??? I guess it's insensitive of me to hope for humor out of a widow. I am going to put the book away for now. Maybe I'll pick it up again in a few months.

As a new widow, I can relate to all the problems, concerns, feelings, adjusting, and just getting on with your life after a husband dies. Anne Roiphe has written such a beautiful memoir of her experience with the death of her husband, it was like she knew what I was feeling, or I knew what she was feeling and going through. I will be sharing this book not only with my widowed friends, but also my married friends. Epilogue: A Memoir, is a book I will be reading over again. I know life goes on after death, and this book shows how this can happen. This book will make you laugh and cry and hope for better days. I could be her friend.

So sad, but beautifully written. If you have ever lost someone important, critically important, in your life, reading this book will help you know you are not alone in your suffering. It is life.
