Details
When a husband or wife dies, the grief needs somewhere to go. This book gives it a place: ten Psalms printed in full from the King James Version, and 90 gentle prompts with room to write. By the end it will hold two stories: theirs, and the story of how you carried on.
It is something a screen cannot give: a real book you hold, write in, and hand on. There is no schedule and no falling behind. Answer the prompts that speak to you and skip the rest.
Who it is for
For a widow or widower who finds comfort in scripture, whether the loss is weeks old or years old. It is also a gift for a friend, parent or neighbour who has lost their spouse, when a card is not enough.
What is inside
- Ten chapters, each opening with one Psalm: The First Days Alone (Psalm 46), The Empty Side of the Bed (Psalm 63), How We Began (Psalm 103), The Life We Made (Psalm 23), Deciding Alone (Psalm 25), The Hard Questions (Psalm 77), The Long Nights (Psalm 130), We, and Now I (Psalm 62), Gratitude Through Tears (Psalm 34) and Carrying You Forward (Psalm 61).
- Each chapter starts on a page of its own with one verse from its Psalm, then the Psalm in full.
- Nine prompts in every chapter, one prompt to a page, with ruled lines beneath to write on.
- Prompts about the days you are in now and the life you built, from the first night in the house alone to the story of how you met.
- A dedication page, "In loving memory of my husband / my wife", a short note on how to use the book, and a closing page, For the Days Ahead.

Returns
If it arrives damaged, misprinted, or not what you ordered, we replace it or refund you in full. It costs you nothing, and you will not be asked to post anything back — just email us with your order number and a photo. Please check your book when it arrives and tell us straight away, so we can have it reprinted quickly; we accept reports up to 30 days after delivery, for books, apparel, totes and caps alike.
Because every piece is made individually for your order, we are unable to accept returns for change of mind or size selection. There is a full size guide on every apparel page.
