Mary Scriven

Challenged But Coping Mary Scriven

This is a book about surviving the death of your partner, and how a positive mental attitude can help the way you cope with that loss and face the future on your own. On 19th January 2014 Mary Scriven's life changed for ever when she came downstairs to find her husband lying dead at his computer. The book was written as a result of her experiences that day and in the months to follow coping with everything from day-to-day practicalities, legal and financial matters (in the UK), dealing with grief and loss, and adjusting to a new way of life. Her aim in writing the book is to help others who might find themselves in a similarly shocking situation to deal with the difficulties that arise. She wishes to share the lessons that she has learnt so that readers can help themselves prepare for the worst, and in doing so can lessen its impact. But above all, this book offers you reassurance in a friendly and supportive voice at a time when you need it most.
