About Mary Francis

It never occurred to me during the years I was putting my life together—family, business, home, and finances—that one day I would have to start all over. Suddenly, I have been given a wide array of new choices—in effect, a second life. I asked myself—Where do I start?

I started by talking to other widows and hearing their journeys of grief and healing. Each story gave me some tip or advice that I was able to use in my personal life. In the end I knew that they could also help others that are grieving and so I put them into a book “The Sisterhood of Widows”.

Before I knew it I was being asked to speak to organizations and small groups about how life changes when you lose someone you love. I find that my own journey has taken me to areas that I had never considered when I was married. I published a book, did a website, became a speaker/coach and have a monthly newsletter.

You just don’t know where life will lead you. So, don’t be afraid. The worse has already happened – you lost your loved one -so from now on, go after life with all you have. No one knows better then you just how fast life can be gone, so don’t hold back.
