If you are a widow or widower seeking positive ways to rebuild your life after the lose of a beloved mate, or if your father or mother is now suddenly alone, you’ve come to the right place for help.

I’m Robert Swanson and I recently lost my dear wife of 41 years. I've struggled with the challenges of being alone for the first time in my adult life. With the death of my mate, my comfortable social order vanished, and my days as a widower were very strange and very empty. At age 77, I didn’t want to be overwhelmed by grief. I desperately needed positive ways to reshape my life. And I must do it without the love and companionship I cherished for so long.

As a first step, I sought professional guidance and religious support. This helped me to better understand my grief, but when the counseling ended I was still on my own, facing the everyday challenges of life. I had to learn to live alone, to run my home alone, to restart a social life alone, to shape a future of some sort, alone.

In time I realized that these demanding issues are the same challenges faced by every new widow and widower. That’s when I decided to write practical “guides” to help others in my predicament. My books do not concentrate on grief — on the contrary, Lost & Found focuses on the massive changes in life style stemming from suddenly being a widow or widower. And they contain ideas that have helped hundreds of others left alone.

I urge everyone struggling with the loss of a mate to read these easy to understand books. If your mother or father is now alone, this information will be a significant help to a better piece of mind. To read an excerpt and to order your copy, click here.
