Book Description
Widowed is the true story of how our family lost my wife and her father. It is a deep and personal look at living with illness, realizing you can be left alone and having to make sense of the death of a spouse. Widowed contains excerpts of some of the most personal conversations, prayers and feelings I took part in before and after my wife passed away. In reading it, I hope you come to realize that no matter what life throws at you, you will be ok and that God will see you through any ordeal. No matter what lies Satan whispers in your ear or how bad things may seem, always remember that God truly does care. The author's bio is usually reserved for things dealing with the author, his greatest accomplishments and his writing credentials. However, I only found it a fitting tribute to give you the bio of my wife instead. Darla was born April 22, 1972. She was the middle child of her mother's five children. Some of her many personal achievements are that she was a talented pianist, a singer, a childcare provider, an administrative assistant, a property manager, a better than average cook, a wonderful listener and a quiet but brilliant speaker. She enjoyed crafting, reading and had an eclectic taste in music and movies. She was a natural beauty, with a great smile and an infectious laugh. If those that knew her were asked to give 5 things to describe her they would tell you: she was a great friend, a wonderful sister, a lovely daughter, an incredible wife and an amazing mother. Most importantly, she was very much loved.

Book Description
The Profession of Widowhood explores how the idea of ‘true’ widowhood was central to pre-modern ideas concerning marriage and of female identity more generally. The medieval figure of the Christian vere vidua or “good” widow evolved from and reinforced ancient social and religious sensibilities of chastity, loyalty and grief as gendered ‘work.’ The ideal widow was a virtuous woman who mourned her dead husband in chastity, solitude, and most importantly, in perpetuity, marking her as “a widow indeed” (1 Tim 5:5). The widow who failed to display adequate grief fulfilled the stereotype of the ‘merry widow’ who forgot her departed spouse and abused her sexual and social freedom. Stereotypes of widows ‘good’ and ‘bad’ served highly-charged ideological functions in pre-modern culture, and have remained durable even in modern times, even as Western secular society now focuses more on a woman’s recovery from grief and possible re-coupling than the expectation that she remain forever widowed. The widow represented not only the powerful bond created by love and marriage, but also embodied the conventions of grief that ordered the response when those bonds were broken by premature death. This notion of the widow as both a passive memorial to her husband and as an active ‘rememberer’ was rooted in ancient traditions, and appropriated by early Christian and medieval authors who used “good” widowhood to describe the varieties of female celibacy and to define the social and gender order. A tradition of widowhood characterized by chastity, solitude, and permanent bereavement affirmed both the sexual mores and political agenda of the medieval Church. Medieval widows—both holy women recognized as saints and ‘ordinary women’ in medieval daily life—recognized this tradition of professed chastity in widowhood not only as a valuable strategy for avoiding remarriage and protecting their independence, but as a state with inherent dignity that afforded opportunities for spiritual development in this world and eternal merit in the next.

Book Description
How social status shapes our dreams of the future and inhibits the lives we envision for ourselves Most of us understand that a person’s place in society can close doors to opportunity, but anything is possible when we dream about what might be, or so we think. Dreams of a Lifetime reveals that what and how we dream—and whether we believe our dreams can actually come true—are tied to our social class, gender, race, age, and life events. Karen Cerulo and Janet Ruane argue that our social location shapes the seemingly private and unique life of our minds. We are all free to dream about possibilities, but not all dreamers are equal. Cerulo and Ruane show how our social position ingrains itself on our mind’s eye, quietly influencing the nature of our dreams, whether we embrace dreaming or dream at all, and whether we believe that our dreams, from the attainable to the improbable, can become realities. They explore how inequalities stemming from social disadvantages pattern our dreams for ourselves, and how sociocultural disparities in how we dream exacerbate social inequalities and limit the life paths we believe are open to us. Drawing on a wealth of original interviews with people from diverse social backgrounds, Dreams of a Lifetime demonstrates how the study of our dreams can provide new avenues for understanding and combating inequality—including inequalities that precede action or outcome.
