Widowhood: Challenge and Grace

Ronda Chervin, Fr. Edmund Sylvia, CSC

After Johnnette's husband Anthony died from terminal brain cancer, she found a great consolation in the writings of our guest, Ronda Chervin.

Through her book Chervin offers widows a practical spiritual path that can help them attain hope and faith in God's love and provision. Using the stories of women saints who suffered the loss of a husband, she helps widows turn their hearts to the Lord and His Mother to gain the comfort and consolation they need.

She shows how widowhood can be a path that leads to holiness of life. Fr. Sylvia helps us to understand the devastation of loss and how we can cooperate with grace to move forward in hope.
