MAITLAND, FL— Within his new book, A
Widower's Journey In Faith, Love And Good Humor, ($19.49, paperback, 9781498418720;
$9.99, e-book, 9781498418737) Harold Collins tells his intriguing
story of reconciling a love lost to death with a new, mature, but different
love found in the autumn of his life. As a widower, the author reveals the
challenges of grief, loneliness, and the inevitable universal questions that
came along the way of his spiritual journey.
“Millions of lonely widows and widowers are searching in their own unique ways for meaning in their remaining years,” states the author. “Family, friends, doctors, lawyers, clergy, and a host of advisers more often than not have never felt the pain and isolation following a spouse’s death. Hopefully, my shared experiences will add some ‘mature’ guidance with real life and death credibility for all who may share my journey. There is life after death.”
As a lawyer, the author Harold Collins has been writing for over fifty years, but always for a client. His first book was a professional complement to his law practice. This new project started as a love letter to his deceased wife, Marilyn. In this sense, he is still writing for another person. As it evolved, the book also became a “thank you” for family, friends, and a new love who has made his life so enjoyable, and has helped bring this new life from barely bearable to joyful. True to his character as a counselor, the end product is intended for others who must face their own mortality and that of their loved ones.
