“Susan broaches the sometimes-taboo topic of widowhood with warmth, wisdom, and unflinching honesty, transforming this lonely journey into one of community and hope. Her 'Lunch with the Widows' conversations offer more than comfort—they offer a roadmap forward. Susan masterfully converts those conversations into concrete wisdom on everything from making solo decisions to building a 'third playlist' for the rest of your life. Each chapter concludes with poignant guidance for the widow and those supporting her through this transformative time. This is essential reading for anyone navigating loss or supporting someone who is.”
