Carol Goldblum Nathenson, a retired speech/language pathologist who enjoys playing bridge, tennis, reading, baking, and spending time with her grandchildren, has completed her new book “A Young Widow’s Twenty-Year Journey: Navigating the New Normal”: an inspiring true story on losing a loved one before their time and continuing with life after they’ve gone. On how she came to share her story, Nathenson writes, “Through a neighborhood website, I met a former patient of my late husband’s. We corresponded through email. She had been very grateful for the care that my husband had provided to her long ago. She let me know that she was a published author. When I mentioned to her that I had a story to tell about my journey navigating my years as a young widow, she encouraged me to begin the project. She volunteered to help me edit the book as a thank-you and tribute to my late husband. I am very grateful for her kindness and impetus in getting this book off the ground. It was a perfect project during this challenging time of the pandemic. “This story is personal but is universal at the same time. My goal is to share experiences that might relate to others going through a similar situation and provide hope. It is frightening to be ensconced in adversity; but forging ahead, seeking the best help, and weathering the ups and downs can make one a survivor.” Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Carol Goldblum Nathenson’s powerful tale demonstrates that life does not stop after losing one’s husband and sometimes a new life can reveal itself with its own unique struggles. Despite the grief that follows, there is still purpose to be found with the right amount of support from friends and family.
