Military Widow: A Survival Guide

Compassion, insight and information

“Asaro and Steen have written a unique and important resource for military widows and those who support them. The 30 chapters focus on the complex contexts that automatically complicate grief when it is a soldier-spouse who died. The authors draw not only from the familiar grief literature, but also from in-depth interviews with military widows, casualty officers, command leaders and others who, like themselves, know the culture of the armed services from the inside. This book offers compassion, insight and information that will contribute greatly to care that is distinct for the many military wives whose husbands die in active duty every year.”
