Resources
To My Dear Widow Friends,
In my book, Field Guide for Widows, I mention various service providers that I personally use and recommend. This is the consolidated list where you can find all that information. I will update this list periodically, so you can trust that these businesses have been vetted by me and offer excellent service.
Please note that while some of my recommended service providers are specific to the North Texas area, many of them can provide services throughout the United States and even worldwide.
Blessings to you,
Playlists
I have curated some playlists of meaningful music designed to support and encourage you during your grieving and growing journey. You can find them on the free app, Spotify.
