Because 70% of all women in America will at some time live in poverty, we must employ the God-given talents and skills instilled in all women to create and implement a plan to preclude this worst-case scenario. So, ask yourself the question: “What if I stopped working today? How long could I survive?” Let’s listen to Kim Kiyosaki, a successful entrepreneur, investor and author of the best-selling"Rich Woman" series:
Every woman has the potential to become a successful God-trepreneur. God desires that each of us discover our highest potential to walk in health and prosper." (3rd John 2) Visit Kim's website -- I reconnmend all her books: http://www.richdad.com/about/rich-woman
Six women--none of whom knew each other previously--come together to form a new model of grief support as they collaborate on life's greatest devastation to debunk the myths surrounding the grieving process. Today's Blog is a critique of Becky Aikman's landmark book, Saturday Night Widows, and how she rebelled against the conventional methods used for decades to help women cope with the loss of their husbands. Having begun this journey myself 4 1/2 years ago, I can attest to the many myths that abound and how the "experts" promote them in counseling widows to cope with grief:
Myth #1 - Widowhood is an "older woman's" dilemma Myth #2 - You must go through the Five Stages of Grief to recover Myth #3 - Rehearsing your tragedies promotes healing Myth #4 - Grief is about becoming "Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrows" Myth #5 - Grieving women suffer from Depression Myth #6 - There's a timetable in which you're supposed to predictably behave, recover and move on.
Here's a video clip from an interview conducted by Katie Couric (a widow herself) with the very real "Saturday Night Widows":
I highly recommend this book not only for widows, but for women who don't know what to say or do when someone they care about is facing this journey. After all, "Losing a loved one is a normal transition in everyone's life. Always has been." ~ Becky Aikman
