Email about the book – “Even though the stories are different, we all share some of the common thread of feelings. A couple of the ladies, and I believe, you referred to it yourself – “the emptiness” A few years ago, I learned this and thought I would share this with you. In the original Greek, from which many of our English words derive, the word “widow” literally meant “empty”. When I learned this, it was almost a relief, because that was how I was feeling, but did not have the proper description of it. Sincerely, Irma”
